Anonradio IRC Streaming Show of Awesome |
|

|
|
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? |
