▲ 811 ▼ bash.org is gone (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago* by hal_5700X@lemmy.world to c/technology@lemmy.world 183 comments fedilink hide all child comments It was a collection of silly quotes from IRC channels everywhere, many of which dated back to the 90s. It was rarely ever updated in the 2010s, but now, the URL no longer resolves. Last capture was July 2023. https://web.archive.org/web/20230601000000*/bash.org EDIT Someone archived all the quotes on the Internet Archive.
