dbag - a dcat fortune file #nixers_after_dark - xero - 14-10-2015

sooooo,
last night on irc somehow dcat, rocx, and myself decided that making a version of fortune with dcat quotes would be a great idea. dcat posted his irc logs w/ a grep for his messages. what happened next is worth preserving.

this image is a composite of most of the action, i removed a few off topic messages and combined multiple scrots. e n j o y !

update:
cli tool is out! https://github.com/iotek/dbag/

o7 never forget

We should really have a quotes database, something like xkcdb or bash.org. Hell, even having one of the bots keep it instead of having it public, and have it spout a random quote with a command.

If you want to discuss the qdb the thread is still open.

@xero:
Why not use fortune?

Code:
fortune /path/to/file

prints a random line from the file.
That's at least how it works with Plan 9 fortune…

let's make an api out of it

RE: dbag - a dcat fortune file #nixers_after_dark - rocx - 15-10-2015

Code:
$ fortune dbag |cowsay -f ~/dcat.cow

think your api has an out of bounds edge case. i got a blank result a few times when running:

Code:
git commit -m "$(curl -s http://dbag.jona.io)"
