Installing lolcat and fortune on Steam Deck

... for fun and profit ?!

The Steam Deck is great, I'm less than 24 hours in but already loving it. It does have a few quirks compared to a standard Windows or Linux machine though... it has an immutable filesystem... meaning you can't just install packages using pacman as you normally would, and while you can switch this off temporarily to install things, these changes will likely be overwritten during the next software update cycle.

To work around this, I've found versions of lolcat and fortune that are written in python and installed in the /home/deck folder, which should survive any OS updates. Credit for both these tools goes to the original authors:

Install pip using python3 -m ensurepip

Setting up Ansible on macOS

Install virtualenv
pip3 install virtualenv
Create virtualenv directory
python3 -m virtualenv ansible
Activate virtualenv environment
source ansible/bin/activate
Install python requirements
pip3 install passlib bcrypt stormSSH

Messing with SSH Host Keys

Add SSH Host Keys to local known_hosts
ssh-keyscan -H <hostname or IP> >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

Find SSH Host Keys
ssh-keygen -F <hostname or IP>

Remove SSH Host Keys
ssh-keygen -R \

	I will work with you to figure out what the thing is that you need,
	I will get the thing ordered for you,
	I will unbox the thing and set it up for you,
	I will help you get started using the thing,
	I will maintain the thing in proper working order for you,
	I will troubleshoot the thing for you,
	I will fix the thing for you (if I can, or find someone who can if I can't),
	I will properly dispose of the thing for you when it's no longer useful,
	I will replace the thing with another, possibly better thing when the time comes.
