Yeah probably. I’m just concerned that if they move to something like Slack for example they’ll create more friction with their community than just getting away from IRC will cause. I do agree it doesn’t have to be something they self host per se but centralized closed systems I fear don’t work well in the open source community they rely on.

Yeah I certainly think so. I hope though that their new platform whatever it ends up being is something that is not closed and proprietary.

So apparently Mozilla is going to shutdown their IRC network. http://exple.tive.org/blarg/2019/04/26/synchronous-text/

With that out of the way (assuming there aren't any awful bugs) I can now take the time and hammer out some libraries and a proper open source edition of blurbybot. 😁

Okay pushover users, you can now login to https://blurbybot.monkeystew.org/ and enable notifications. Let me know if you run into issues.

If any pushover users are impatient and would like me to enabled them manually behind the scenes let me know. Otherwise I hope to have the settings page working again sometime this weekend when I can steal more time.

yeah me and my lazy error handling. BlurbyBot will get a full proper rewrite but I wanted to hack the old version till it worked so there might be some odd errors messages for the moment.

The login for the bot btw is /login email password

Credentials aren't stored only used to obtain the auth token.

Now to sort out login for the pushover bits.

The hacked edition of the BlurbyBot Telegram bot is now live. Those using it will need to login again using /login as a result of the v5 changes. The command set is reduced but I think I've got the basics covered for the moment. Please report any issues to me here, directly on Telegram at thrrgilag, or in my dev chat room https://gitlab.dreamfall.space/thrrgilag/thrrgilag.net/wikis/dev
