I've offered to do this multiple times and no-one seemed keen. I think it's because people like the human nature of of the post being made by someone real? I dunno. Weird.

Please do not run it on a local PC though as you'll chew through expensive power for an operation that takes milliseconds.

If you want to run it local you could get it running on an rpi or even your mobile.

But don't do that, even the free tiers of all the cloud providers are overkill for the bot requirements. A cron lambda solves this, same on Azure as a Function and will all be free and not reliant of the power to your house.

The emojis you can do to via a List of special days, and then combine them with an AI to get the sentiment of the previous day and theme for the current day.

Please add a CI/CD pipeline that's included in code and open source it so someone else can pick it up when you drop off. Pretty please add many tests.

This isn't something I want to pair on as it's a great first project and something that if I was going to do myself I'd rather just smash out and have fun doing whilst listening to music, not chatting.

If you get stuck though lemme know and I might help.

I'm keen tbh! Keen for a bot and help! Thank you for these tips!!! This is my first time doing anything like this at all!

[–] indisin@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

If you're keen then you will love it.

I'm looking forward to seeing your solution and I'm genuinely keen to review it.

Oh the PC was also going to be a media hub as well, something I can keep on to download torrents and store media files 🏴‍☠️

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Oh, sorry. I've never seen your offers before, I don't think

Personally, I do kind of like the human touch, as you put it. Makes me feel like I actually contribute something to the community, anyway

By the way chud, I get the weather from the BoM, and they seem to have an API (though it seems to be more of a mindfuck than most). I believe AccuWeather has an easily accessible API as well. You could pull the weather forecast from that

What's wrong?

The original comment was by StudChud. I was replying to you primarily, and then them secondarily, in case they happened to read the 2nd part of my comment. It didn't really seem important enough to post a 2nd comment about. Sorry if it confused you, but I don't think the down vote was really necessary.

This is a boring game. StudSpud is the username. DMs not fun.

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Honestly at this point I'm just confused. What are you on about?

That's their display name. Display names are different to usernames. You'll see their username if you click their profile, or use a third party app that only shows usernames.

Did you really have to be such a dick about it? ffs.

[–] indisin@aussie.zone 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nah I didn't and I apologise for that, came across as you calling me a chud though in my context.

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Right. Well cheers for the downvotes and general cuntbaggery mate. How about using your bloody words next time instead of all this guessing game nonsense

[–] indisin@aussie.zone -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You're welcome.

Next time, read what you're posting to ensure it isn't accidentally targeting someone who means you no harm.

Words yah?

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 1 points 7 months ago

Perhaps you should take a little bit of your own advice. I wasn't "targeting" anybody, either accidentally or intentionally. You and I have both been here for over a year and a half, surely you've seen me around here for long enough to at offer me a bit of benefit of the doubt, and attribute anything I say that offends you to obliviousness, not malice?

I've never even heard "chud" used pejoratively before, so I especially don't understand why you'd jump to assuming that was a personal attack of any kind. In any case, I will be more careful about how I word things in the future, but you getting offended, downloading me, and then just replying with "..." did absolutely nothing to communicate that you were upset and what I was supposed to have done

[–] indisin@aussie.zone -1 points 7 months ago

Also lol on you trying to explain me basics of using a computer. This shit here is broken, and no I should not have to do any of that to see the same data you're seeing.
