Madagascar Conservation & Development

Madagascar Conservation & Development is a peer-review, open-access journal with geographic focus on Madagascar and surrounding islands.
journalmcd.com journalmcd.com
for the latest issue, the layouting (scribus, pdfunite, pdfseparate in a bash script) and copyediting (libreoffice) and gimp-ing of the cover picture (er, gimp3, darktable when it's my picture) are entirely done on my laptop under freebsd.
all done previously on debian (when i took over, some 10y ago).
all is opensource, except the font but i had no say on that matter.

hope you'll like it.

Read the First 1250 Crumbs on Your Terminal Randomly One at a Time

This was JohnK's idea.

Installation:
Unzip the attached file. It will create a directory called fcrumbs with two files in it: fcrumbs and fcrumbs.dat.

Usage:
Bash: 
fortune <path_to_the_directory>/fcrumbs

Example:
If you unzipped it in $HOME:
Bash: 
fortune ~/fcrumbs
Or also:
Bash: 
fortune $HOME/fcrumbs

Note: "fcrumbs" stands for "fortune crumbs."

Edit: Sometimes one crumb refers to another. If you want to see one crumb in particular, do:

It's not really art per se, just the result of a little experiment of a small C program I once wrote, that produces portable pixmap graphics to learn some things on that topic, but therefor it's made only by me, and 100% on FreeBSD.

if we consider the weird whales which are generated by algorithm like art also you made art from my point of view ...
 
Thanks, but don't give me too much credit.
It basically is:
C: 
for (y = 0; y < 255; y++)
    for (x = 0; x < 255; x++)
        "place RGB pixel at [X = x; Y = y] with color (R = x, G = 0, B = y)"
 
Note: Crumb 1445 is too macabre for this forum. You can find it on DeviantArt.

I've written this next one inspired by this thread and my perception of ZFS compared to BTRFS.

Up until now I was creating five graphical versions for every crumb: American comic-book, manga, spherugly, Italian fumetti neri, and painterly Italian fumetti neri. I'm adding a new one starting with this crumb: steampunk. In this thread I only post the version of each crumb I enjoy most.

Crumb 1454: The Exiled Earth Hypothesis: According to the Exiled Earth Hypothesis, our world was part of a different universe, which teemed with inhabited planets and intelligent beings, but it was exiled to our current barren universe by the Reality Balance Guardians soon after the dawn of the homo sapiens because its members were considered abusively beautiful and dangerously creative compared to the rest of the species.

Crumb 1455: The 33 Dancing Souls: Every day, from 0:33 AM to 3:33 AM, local time, any dance club that is filled to capacity or close, receives some clandestine additional guests: 33 ghosts of people from all epochs who died before turning 33. The deceased, both in heaven and in hell, have to sign up in a particular list from which the members of each spectral dancing escapade are randomly chosen every time.

This one was inspired by the thread about why people left FreeBSD. After commenting, I thought my comment made for a good crumb.

Crumb 1458: Final Decisions: You can decide to change what was a final decision for yourself at one point. It's not necessary to remain true to your younger self—it was less wise by definition.

Crumb 1459: Too Late: When the eager aliens finally managed to arrive at Earth, humanity had already moved to another universe, believing this one was uninhabited.
