Anonradio IRC Streaming Show of Awesome
March 13th, 2018
----------------------------------------
IRC chat comes to life as an anonradio show!
(Credit to cat for giving me the idea [0])
[0] cat's thread on Mastodon
How it could work:
1. An IRC bot sits in #anonradio on sdf. (Theoretically it could
be done on com, where there is more talky traffic for
anonradio, but I have no idea how to interface with it)
2. When the show goes live, anonbot takes the text each user
says and pipes it into "say" using a different unique voice
styling for each user. Here it would be nice to assign some
voices to more regular speakers. I'm not sure how many voices
say has available.
3. Vocal streams are sent up to anonradio's stream via
liquidsoap or whatever other client can handle it.
4. We all laugh and type silly things at each other for an hour
and let the robots speak for us.
Now for the challenges:
1. I have no idea how to program an IRC bot. I think I just saw
a post about it on Lobste.rs though, so I can go fishing for
that.
2. I don't have an anonradio show. SNOWDUSK, PLAES HALP [1]
3. I barely have any understanding or capability with liquidsoap
or any other streaming software. It seems like it should be
trivial to have an empty stream going that just waits to pipe
in "say" stuff, but I've got no idea where to start. Anyone
out there know any better?
4. No one talks in #anonradio. Maybe that would change if there
were a bot that made you sound silly on the internet?

The challenges aren't insurmountable but I'd welcome help. Hell,
I'd welcome someone else swooping in and building the whole thing.
I really just want to participate. ;)
What say you, Gophers? Is this worth making a thing?
