We've put together a few fun Linux utilities, try them out for yourself.
Read on and you’ll get greeted by a cow in your console, you’ll become Ne...

The “yes” command helps you to loop an automated response until you terminate the command. This command will print the exact same thing indefinitely. If you want to produce huge amounts of junk text fast, then this command will work like a charm.
Just try something like:
# yes "Hello World!"
And there is also a command
pi
- it will show the first 50 digits of the number π after the decimal point =)similar for ls -> sl is git -> gti
The cow from the apt command is reproducible with the
cowsay
command.Figlet has alternatives - I use
toilet
these days, butbanner
is simpler and probably already installed on older systems.lolcat
takes anything you pipe through it - toilet for example - and makes it use pretty colours.I was thrilled to discover that you can watch Star Wars in the terminal with just one command using Telnet:
You’ll need Telnet installed on your system, but it’s definitely worth it! lol
This has to be the coolest things I've ever seen on a terminal! Thanks!
You mention figlet, but not toilet. How can you do
toilet --gay Happy Pride
?Lots of teams not included here - everyone has their favorites =)

Re fortune: some codevelopers-and-I maintain an enhanced version of fortune-mod here: github.com/shlomif/fortune-mod . There is also a version where the source code was converted to rust-lang, and some content was filtered: github.com/cafkafk/fortune-kind . The debian and ubuntu versions are thus old-and-outofdate
does fortune ever run out of quotes or does it always pull them from online
