![]() ![]() Partially because its written in Lua, which could make the most sane mind go unstable. This also makes discoverability and onboarding of new users quite bad to be honest. ivar2 is an IRC/Matrix bot on speed, with a mentally unstable mind. Somewhat related, I also don't like how there is no convenient system for IRC (or XMPP) to curate channels and tie them together into a theme based set (like it can be done on Mattermost or Discord). Note that is is different from channel history in your client (which can also be done in IRC). Similar to email list archives this can be improved on IRC with public channel loggers. There is the general problem of opaqueness of chat channels compared to for example forums which can be searched. but the guy who made me aware of it was saying it works really nicely with The Lounge in public mode So that is quite exiting However, if it really works remains to be seen. That is the main reason why I started with Mattermost (and the MatterIRCd IRC client bridge).īut it now looks like this new Oragono IRC server has all that build in while maintaining IRC's simplicity both client and server side. The Lounge IRC also has that build in, but only in "private mode" which means (besides that it really only works through that javascript webclient) that I had to run and maintain two instances of it and also had to manually write each user account into a text-file (or alternatively setup up a complex LDAP system, which I equally dreaded). That is why I didn't really consider it so far. That is possible with IRC, but with the normal legacy IRC daemon/bouncer setup hugely complicated on the server side. Something tells me that is, for now, a bit of a pipe dream.

So this is a bit of a brainstorm topic on how we could put some nice stuff together as a modern take on IRC chat. but low and behold I wasn't aware of the seemingly awesome Oragono IRC server that wraps all this together in a nice Golang program: In addition, user accounts that work with most clients are another complex topic. So far, I wasn't a fan of running the complex legacy setup of an IRC daemon and a bouncer etc. Thus maybe back to plan A to have a nice IRC/XMPP hybrid. However, I am a bit annoyed by the artificial limitations and with the company behind Mattermost recently gotten a huge venture capital funding, it will probably get worse sooner or later when the investors want some profit. ![]() But I think the separate chat bridge from IRC and Discord has been quite successful so far. The actual uptake from FOSS game projects has been close to 0 though (as in requests to host a team server for them). I'll constantly add new feeds or features when I find a spare minute.Ok, so our Mattermost on is running quite nicely and has a few regular users. So far the following RSS feeds are checked:įeel free to leave a comment or send me a dm on the IRC channel if you have other good RSS feeds. You can find a full feature list and setup instructions in the README. The frequency can be configured on a per-feed basis. Otherwise it simply fetches, parses and posts new news into a IRC channel every 15 minutes. !lastfeed Prints the last 25 entries from a specific feed Send all commands as a private message to Feed The bot exposes some basic commands to IRC users: Help: But feel free to improve something and open a PR. You can find the code on Github - python-rss2irc, but I doubt that it is bug free and I'd still say it's beta. I ran into some problems with multithreaded sqlite, but sqlite3worker took care of it. The feedparser and irc modules did a good job to facilitate the implementation. My IRC bouncer is idling in multiple channels anyway and this allows me to easily read the backlog.Ī couple of hours later I registered #securityfeed on freenode and filled the channel with the first news. I thought this idea was brilliant and started to implement a quick & dirty IRC bot for that task. While discussing this, mentioned that he used to run a bot which subscribed certain RSS feeds and posted new entries to an IRC channel. A couple of days ago, I asked some people if they know other good mailinglists or sources of information. I've been following security news by subscribing to different well-known mailinglists. ![]() There simply isnt a more flexible or easier to use IRC bot TOPfeeder Python RSS-IRC bot. I've implemented and setup a RSS 2 IRC bot which parses security related RSS feeds and posts them into the #securityfeed channel on . Nested commands, easy configuration, and an incredibly flexible and easy-to-use plugin system distinguish Supybot from other IRC bots. I'd like to share a small project which might come in handy for other infosec people: A bot which posts security related RSS news into an IRC channel. ![]()
