Well, that's the life of people who would like to promote #SanFrancisco and the San Francisco Public Library digital archives, while the actual #SFPL does not seem to care at all, locking their digital archives behind a strict Amazon protection.

I should create a #Mastodon #Bot that just posts everytime something new happens on the #Arikoto #GitHub…

That’d be fun.

😃 Compte sympa à suivre qui utilise prettymaps pour générer des quizz sur un point d'intérêt !

Une sorte de #QuizzTown du @Lecartographe mais totomatique et sans photos !

Un compte automatisé par @guilhem_allaman 👏 .

I did it again!

So I created #MastoBot, a generic #Python Mastodon bot that allows anyone to create a bot.

I created a few versions, and I use it for @3dprinting. But naturally, knowing how to implement it and developing functions, I need a use case.

So after a discussion this morning. I spent the entire day writing @Python. Yes, I did it again.

However, this one now has a built-in #webscraper to cross-post new posts fromhttps://discuss.python.org/, because why not.

This @Python required a few things, and updates were made to #MastoBot. I had to make it even more generic, implement an overkil datastore with #Redis, and extend the config system.

@Python will behave exactly like @3dprinting with the added feature of crossposts. These posts will, however, be "follower only" posts, to not polute #Python and just flood everything initially.

The bot will #boost parent posts, allowing for threads and discussions to be created.

The source code will be out tomorrow, just cleaning up.

Speaking of bots ...

(why are we talking about bots? Twitter says it is closing their API except for paid users beginning Feb 9, which affects a lot more things than shitty troll accounts, news updates, or just fun stuff. Many civic services, alerts, weather warnings, transport, traffic, academic accounts, research, museums, schools, etc. will be out of luck, as well as (probably?) sites that use Twitter sign-in or authentication for any reason.)
