Has my motd gone too far? It loads a random ANSI catgirl from a folder. I use arch btw, server runs minimized Ubuntu Server.
You could double the vertical resolution by using half-height blocks (
U+2584) and using the background color for the upper half.Thanks for the suggestion, gonna look into this. I didn’t want to use real images even though kitty supports them because I like the retro look and wanted it terminal agnostic for when I use termux on my phone.
It would be cringe if you were using a shared server and set this as a default for everyone or if it was interfering with something. But if you’re just minding your own business I could not care less what customisations you put on your terminal as long as it isn’t using excessive resources
Catgirls aren’t cringe, but ubuntu is.
The real cringe is using passwords instead of keys to login.
Needs more pixels. You use Kitty, try something like https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa to render a proper picture?
I considered using kitty’s built-in ssh kitten to display real images, but I ended up liking the retro look more.
How??? Asking for a friend…

I thought motd could not be scripted hmmm…
/etc/motd no, but it runs the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/
I can’t hate on ANSI art even if I’m not in to what the art is of. 🤷
