Advice scraper from fucking-great-advice.ru. This is a legacy project that was written several years ago, the site may have changed since then, so it is possible that you'll have to update the scraper accordingly.

However, the results stored in out/ are ready for use, and they reflect the state of site at the time the scraper was written.

1. Create and activate virtualenv
2. Install dependencies from requirements.txt
3. Run scrapy crawl advice -o advice-fortune.csv -s JOBDIR=crawls/advice-1

1. apt install fortune-mod (this is needed to use strfile below; if you already have the fortune file, you only need fortune itself)
2. Make sure your CSV file with advices is ready
3. Convert it to the right text format by running python csv-to-fortune.py (it takes advice-fortune.csv and saves it to advice-fortune.txt
4. Run strfile -c % advice-fortune.txt advice-fortune.dat to convert it to the fortune format
5. sudo cp advice-fortune.dat /usr/share/games/fortunes && sudo cp advice-fortune.txt /usr/share/games/fortunes/advice-fortune (you might have to recreate the directories first)
6. For an extra-dramatic effect: apt install cowsay
7. Add fortune | cowsay to the end of your ~/.bashrc
