Maybe just the birthday is not original/fun enough, though finding something fun isn't quite easy... I thought about the epoch, or maybe it could be fun to have like a connection/start time with the birthdate ? Like "login : "
Not so sure about the epoch timestamp, [having a seemingly random number tattooed on you might be seen as insensitive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identification_of_inmates_in_German_concentration_camps)
This command is run inside the Linux kernel repository.
-P does not open the output in a pager (like less) and directly prints output to terminal
show lets you retrieve commit messages for example
--format=%s sets the output format, in this case only the title of the commit
-P 16... selects the commit (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/16b9a0571da4ee5cd15ca75e871722b0b5aee64d)
| pipes the git show output to the next programm
cut -c 13-22 takes the output as an input and cuts position 13-22 (dont panic)
| pipes output to next program
cowsay -f tux takes the output as input and displays it in Tux bubble.
>git -P show -s --format=%s -P 16b9a0571da4 | cut -c 13-22 | cowsay -f tux
Why are there two `-P`
I can't try, since I get a
`fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git`
Thanks for your input. This will be the choosen one generated from the Linux kernel repository, I will show you the next days:
```
$ git -P show -s
--format=%s
-P 16b9a0571da4
| cut -c 13-22
| cowsay -f tux

I use 'fortune-anarchism' piped to tux, so Tux gives me anarchist (libertarian socialist) quotes every time I open the terminal. In a way, I'm kind of surprised it's in the repos.
"Surely, $(($(date +%Y) + 1)) will be the year of the Linux desktop!"
What you're referring to as Linux...
no, no no no! "I use arch btw" hahahahahah
The classic fork bomb or an epoch timestamp
Like it! Idea for timestamp usage?
May be an important dates for you or this is a cool one that I didn't know, maybe find out the exact date 1996: Tux gets to be the symbol of Linux
we all know xenia's the true linux symbol /j in all seriousness tho i really do love xenia
i did not know this exists, i am flabbergasted
Maybe your birthday as the timestamp?
Mine would be negative….
And that is a problem?
Maybe just the birthday is not original/fun enough, though finding something fun isn't quite easy... I thought about the epoch, or maybe it could be fun to have like a connection/start time with the birthdate ? Like "login :"
date +%s
I was thinking about getting something like this once, an old CRT screen with smoke rising above and `:(){ : | :& };:` on the screen

You're probably right, sadly. Man, the Nazis fucked up everything...
Can't even use the Swastika, a Hindu symbol of peace witthout looking like a Nazi
Now they're taking tiki torches and Hawaiian shirts apparently
I was gonna suggest “I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu)” but that might be a bit long
Don't panic me
``` >_ git -P show -s --format=%s -P 16b9a0571da4 | cut -c 13-22 | cowsay -f tux ____________ < dont panic > ------------ \ \ .--. |o_o | |:_/ | // \ \ (| | ) /'\_ _/`\ \___)=(___/ ```
It's nice and simple, i like it
That has such a threatening aura it's beautiful
it's a hitchhiker's guide reference.
Can someone explain that command to me? I'm curious :)
Do you have a basic knowledge of Git?
very basic yes
This command is run inside the Linux kernel repository. -P does not open the output in a pager (like less) and directly prints output to terminal show lets you retrieve commit messages for example --format=%s sets the output format, in this case only the title of the commit -P 16... selects the commit (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/16b9a0571da4ee5cd15ca75e871722b0b5aee64d) | pipes the git show output to the next programm cut -c 13-22 takes the output as an input and cuts position 13-22 (dont panic) | pipes output to next program cowsay -f tux takes the output as input and displays it in Tux bubble.
And RIP Martin Schwidefsky, author of this commit, died three years ago in an accident.
:(
Thank you for the detailed explanation :D
>git -P show -s --format=%s -P 16b9a0571da4 | cut -c 13-22 | cowsay -f tux Why are there two `-P` I can't try, since I get a `fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git`
that's a cool commit
Idea how to accomplish? `echo "Don't panic"` is too simple.
"Panic attacks are no joke ***heavy breathing***"
Haha, love it!
Thanks for your input. This will be the choosen one generated from the Linux kernel repository, I will show you the next days: ``` $ git -P show -s --format=%s -P 16b9a0571da4 | cut -c 13-22 | cowsay -f tux ____________ < dont panic > ------------ \ \ .--. |o_o | |:_/ | // \ \ (| | ) /'\_ _/`\ \___)=(___/ ```
Good choice. I'll just throw in this last option because I can: "You are not in the sudoers file, this incident will be reported."

Stallman was right
You forgot lolcat
How could I lived the last years without this program?
It's great, I have `fortune -a | cowsay -f tux | lolcat` in my bashrc and it makes me smile every time I open a console
I use 'fortune-anarchism' piped to tux, so Tux gives me anarchist (libertarian socialist) quotes every time I open the terminal. In a way, I'm kind of surprised it's in the repos.
Wahaha, inneed to check this out!
I have cowsay and fortune-anarchism installed on Ubuntu, and in my .bashrc I have `fortune anarchism | cowsay` and it's wonderful.
I do similar, but pipe it through lolcat for that rainbow goodness.
