~/.tartrc, but defaults to the following location:
~/.tart-custom
PARAMETERS
LinuxTaRT recognizes the following directives in the template and replaces them with the corresponding values:
%c1 - CustomText1 from .tartrc
%c2 - CustomText2 from .tartrc
%tg - tagline
Randomly selected from the tagline database.
%hr - horizontal line
%dt - todays date
In the format: Monday, February 25, 2002

Any other characters in the template are copied to the signature as is.

%hr
/dev/random says:

%hr
Generates the following signature:
