Fandoms: Harry Potter, Discworld, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Glee, and I'll read fanfic of pretty much anything that crosses over with one of those.

@kaveinthran The problem is they depend on Py Torch. So that means like 700 megs of Python dependancies.

@Ree @sun Yes exactly. Better to make sure that even if it, say, hands out the password to its XMPP account, nobody can log into that account anyway, because it's protected by an IP allow list. And the XMPP server is a different machine, so it can't add your IP to the allow list even if it wants to. Same for API keys and so on. Assume it will give them to any random jerk who puts up a webpage that asks it to. Make sure they can't do anything with those keys.

@Ree @sun Seems like security theatre. Openclaw is just sending them to some AI service anyway. Yes, local AI where possible. But it isn't, always. And openclaw could just randomly decide to email all log files to a guy named Bruce anyway. If I'd want it encrypted, I don't want it in openclaw.

@sun I'm thinking about tempmail for that. I don't really want my bot sending unsupervised emails, but tempmail has an API so it can set itself up as many inboxes as it wants. github.com/elbunuelo/tempmail

@sun I'm using snikket and things seem to work fine. Also means I can have different accounts for different agents if I want. The other services other than IRC make getting second accounts hard enough, never mind third or fourth or fifth ones. I don't have that many valid phone numbers LOL. But on my own XMPP server I can just make all the accounts I want without bothering anyone.

@sun Did basicly the same thing for XMPP. Using XMPP is a security win because I control the XMPP server, so I'm not depending on openclaw security to decide who can talk to my bot. I can just stop that account from federating.

I really enjoy when postgresql crashes for no reason and takes my entire instance down with it! It's so much fun!

@jscholes @Tamasg Amusingly, eloquence says "CHITINIZATION" correctly, but not "chitinous". Even though chitinization is the process of becoming chitinous, and chitinous means covered in chitin.

@jscholes @Tamasg It's what insects are covered in, and what exoskeletons are made of. It's in literally any fantasy novel involving giant snails, or spiders, or lobsters, or...it's the second most common substance produced by living beings in nature, beaten only by cellulose. And chitin is pronounced "kyten" (like kite but with an n sound at the end).

@Tamasg Huh. At first I thought I'd found a speechbox bug. Then I learned that Espeak also cannot pronounce chitin. Only eloquence with the community dictionary says it correctly. Weird! I'd have thought that was a pretty common word. Guess it shows just how spoiled we are with eloquence. New speechbox sounds really, really close, though! It's not stressful to listen to anymore. Just a bit mushy for pleasure reading.

@TheQuinbox @FreakyFwoof I can give you an account here if you want. Then you can also access the nice swagger API documentation at fed.interfree.ca/swagger. Lets you view the iceshrimp API, the mastodon API, and the federation API, and make test calls to all the things to see how they work.

@ppatel @TheQuinbox Paperback already does it. You just have to use a webview2 component.

@alexchapman @TheQuinbox I also just like having it the same in the reply box as on the post. And I need to know your instance at all times so that I may judge you! LOL JK

@TheQuinbox The only reason I'd want a dialogue is if it was a web view that just showed the HTML version of the post content. Because everyone but Mastodon lets people format posts with lists and links and stuff. At least FastSM will actually recognize formatted links now. But it along with every other accessible client just gets rid of all other formatting. Whereas Fedra will actually let me write formatted posts if I want, seeing as my server allows that. God this is so good I can finally stop using enafore for things.

@TheQuinbox Yay! While I'm complaining, applications key or shift+f10 should probably open the posts menu on the selected post, instead of having to go to the menu bar. But that's just niggling haha.

@TheQuinbox FYI Fedra works fine with Iceshrimp.net. The only thing I'm missing is a way to display people by username. People change their names far too often; I'd rather just see everyone as whatever at whatever dot net, no display name at all.
