# fortunes-spam

Fortune cookies taken from subjects and bodies of funny or strange SPAM messages.

It's intended to be used with the [fortune](http://fortunes.cat-v.org/) Unix program.

## Notice

The text of fortunes is obfuscated using rot13, since they are mostly offensive.

## Install

Copy the files 'spam-o' and 'spam-o.dat' in one of the following directory:

 * /usr/local/share/games/fortunes/off/

 * /usr/share/games/fortunes/off/

 * /usr/local/share/games/fortunes/

 * /usr/share/games/fortunes/

or wherever your unix puts fortune files.

In Linux, if you put the files in an "/off/"(ensive) directory the fortune program will read the files only when the "-o" or "-a" option is used (for details: man fortune).

If you're interested in Italian spam, you've to copy also the files 'spam-ita-o' and 'spam-ita-o.dat'.

The charset of both files (spam-o and spam-ita-o) is UTF-8; convert it to suite your system, if needed.

## Update

If you add your own fortunes, you can also update the *.dat* files running **make** (it requires the *strfile* command, usually found in the *fortune-mod* package)

## Telegram bot

A demo bot can be found here: https://t.me/FortunesSpamBot

You can use the content of the *telegram-bot* directory to create your own Telegram bot; don't forget to run it specifying the **SPAMBOT_TOKEN** environment variable.

## Mastodon bot

A demo bot can be found at [@[email protected]](https://botsin.space/@fortunes_spam)

You can use the content of the *mastodon-bot* directory to create your own Mastodon bot; don't forget to run it specifying the **SPAMBOT_TOKEN** environment variable.
