Author: bcr (doc committer) Date: Mon Nov 19 20:45:49 2018 New Revision: 340649 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/340649 Log: Add a fortune describing how to upload a machine's dmesg information to the NYCBUG database. We want to encourage our users to upload their dmesgs so that the project can get a better insight into what kind of hardware is run on. This helps in making data-driven decisions about i.e., platform and driver support. Note that dmesgs may contain sensitive information like hardware serial numbers, hence uploading them without review is discouraged.
