MMM-DailyDilbert

A module for MagicMirror² that displays a random Dilbert strip.

Note: Dilbert ended on 2023-03-12 and the original dilbert.com is gone, so there is no longer a "daily" strip to fetch. This module now pulls a random strip from the public Dilbert archive (1989–2023), which links to copies preserved on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

Dependencies

• A MagicMirror² installation (Node 18+, which provides a global fetch)

Installation

1. Clone this repo into your modules directory.
2. Create an entry in your config.js file to tell this module where to display on screen.

Example:

 {
    module: 'MMM-DailyDilbert',
	position: 'bottom_bar',
	config: {
		updateInterval : 36000000,
		scale : 100
	}
 },

Config

Option	Description
updateInterval	How often to rotate to a new random strip (in ms). Default is 36000000 (10 hours). Minimum enforced value is 60000 (1 minute).
scale	Size of the comic image as a percentage. Default is 100. Use values above 100 to make it bigger or below to make it smaller (e.g. 150 or 75).

Heavily inspired by the awesome MagicMirror plugin DailyXKCD.
