Build bsdgames from source Created 2024-12-13 Updated 2025-07-16
Many of the games are disabled by default on Ubuntu. But we can enable some games and build from source with:
apt-get source bsdgames
cd bsdgames-*
sed -ri '/^bsd_games_cfg_no_build_dirs=/s/ number / /' config.params
./configure
make -jHere we enabled the game number, so now we can:which gives:

Particularly tasteful is their choice of native speaker actors who speak their native language for less important narration, and English with an accent for more important moments, in particular when talking solo to the camera.

Generate random text in PostgreSQL Created 2024-12-05 Updated 2025-07-16
This one is good: stackoverflow.com/questions/36533429/generate-random-string-in-postgresql/44200391#44200391 as it also describes how to generate multiple values.
with symbols(characters) as (VALUES ('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789'))
select string_agg(substr(characters, (random() * (length(characters) - 1) + 1)::INTEGER, 1), '')
from symbols
join generate_series(1,8) as word(chr_idx) on 1 = 1 -- word length
join generate_series(1,10000) as words(idx) on 1 = 1 -- # of words
group by idx;Then you can insert it into a row with:
create table tmp(s text);
insert into tmp(s)
select s from

from (values('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 --')) as symbols(characters)
join generate_series(1, $1) on 1 = 1
$$ language sql;And then:
create table tmp(s text, t text);
insert into tmp(s) select random_string(10) from generate_series(10); Unlisted articles are being shown, click here to show only listed articles.
