When I just logged out of my SSH-access to tilde.club, it said:
[freespeech@tilde etc]$ Abgemeldet lp1 on fire (One of the more obfuscated kernel messages)
Is this a text coming from "fortune" or did I now do anything wrong? I am a bit confused ...
I'm certainly no expert, but I strongly suspect that this is just another good-natured logout message from fortune. A quick Google search turns up this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lp0_on_fire
It seems that lp0 was once a device handle for early line printers. I can't imagine this box is running anything of the sort. Just a little humor, I think.
Interesting find, though. Anybody know where fortune draws these little tidbits from? I'd like to read through them and have a few chuckles.

I once had fortune installed on an older installation which is now not running anymore, and I even added own stuff to it.
The source of fortune are simple huge textfiles, but where they are located, no plan.
You could try 'man fortune', maybe even on your ssh shell from tilde.

Found this on Github.

If anybody else is curious, `man fortune` did turn up the following directory.
/usr/share/games/fortune
There's about 3 MB in there, so be careful not to get sucked into reading, as I just did.
