But do no ask me to translate Dante, I can't
(Spanish is similar enough, and this <https://www.deepl.com/translator> helps).
Yeah I know, it's the only language I can read without having studied it, far more familiar than Italian dialects from north or south Italy
The link fails to open right now, i'll try later, I'm curious how it will translate something like this: "O voi che avete gl'intelletti sani, Mirate la dottrina che s'asconde Sotto il velame delli versi strani!" (Dante,Inferno,XI)
(Dante is indeed a weird/extraña beast)
The English translation is surprisingly good, it uses old English :-o
Ok, I see the intention. It is not a new line, but many spaces to push part of the string beyond the arch. And, there is no menu, just a login prompt. Cute. I'm impressed.
well, thanks, too good of you, it's a little thing
I wonder if you could get a similar result using "/etc/motd", but I don't think it prints before the login prompt. [checking...] no, it prints after the login.
Me, I would put the string directly on the photo.
I see, you must be more in in the graphics realm.
Not really... one does what one has to do. I had to do things with Corel Draw in the 90's on the job. Gimp can do that job, but it is not the only tool that can. Actually, I can do few things with Gimp, only those that I needed one time or another.
I can send you the original picture to play with if you wish. Let me check it... it's under 650K. Or I could take another shot, that one i used I put it in /tmp and it's gone
Oh, I can get movie shots, no problem :-D -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
