Toot

Yesterday I added this to the "FreeBSD.hints" file for fortune to use:

»When netstat reports every 8 seconds, it tells traffic in bits per second:

$ netstat -I bge0 8«

Today: Bikeshed 🙂

I should have known better...

@bsdphk

I just noticed that https://bikeshed.org selects a random color on load <3

And then I noticed it allows you to pick a color through the subdomain (like https://green.bikeshed.org/)

But I do wonder if it rolls its own RNG just to lure people into "why not Math.random()?!!1" discussions? 🙂

@sqx @bsdphk I have always wanted to make quite a number of changes to that code. Why not select a colour from the entire spectrum? Is the determination for what constitutes a bright or dark background accurate? (https://2cff00.bikeshed.org/) We should establish a committee to determine the best way of randomising the colour of a website.

@NohatCoder @sqx

I fully agree!

Fortunately I have nothing to do with the creation of the website, nor the code it runs, so I will not have to attend those meetings :-)
