profanity VS k3os

I had a great experience contributing to this C project (there is also Python involved) https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity

One option, maybe a little clunky - check out profanity (https://profanity-im.github.io/), a terminal based xmpp client. It has a python api. You can write a crude plugin to connect to [email protected] (or whatever user you figure out). Then just listen for incoming messages on a loop. When something is received, run it through a few cases to match the message with the intended event (or discard or whatever). Then probably trigger some external shell script to do the data retrieval, returning to the plugin to send. Profanity runs on pretty much anything.

XMPP client: Profanity

I haven't used it, but if you like irssi you might also like profanity which claims to be inspired by it: https://profanity-im.github.io/

Our website is: https://profanity-im.github.io/

Or, there is profanity (https://profanity-im.github.io/) and there is a python library that makes things go quickly. I had a thought to have a plugin autoconnect the "bot" user to the server, start an omemo session with a user (or users), and listen on a local socket or something for messages to send over the omemo session. I had issues with the omemo enrollment/key exchange sticking though, which made it unreliable.

I still don't forgive SUSE for buying Rancher and then unceremoniously killing k3os. They just left the website up and everything, made no announcement, made no attempt to help the community take over, just left the Github repo to rot: https://k3os.io/

Hard to have confidence in SUSE's commitment to another open source operating system side project after that. SUSE's announcement at the time:

Like SUSE, Rancher is 100% open source and equally as passionate as SUSE about true open source innovation, community empowerment, and customer success. SUSE and Rancher share the same goal – happy and satisfied customers.

k3os is no longer supported by Rancher: https://github.com/rancher/k3os/issues/846 I've been keeping mine up to date with https://github.com/BlueKrypto/k3os

[0] https://docs.k3s.io/installation/ha-embedded [1] https://k3os.io/

I (still) run k3os, but it's dead since SUSE bought rancher. (see https://github.com/rancher/k3os/issues/846)

I'm personally fond of https://k3os.io for my small to medium hobby and professional clusters. It comes with a lot the bells and whistles, but is also pretty minimum and just scales easily.

I really liked K3OS, but I feel like Rancher is no longer supporting it. The last commit on the k3os repo is from April, and before those three commits, November of last year. When Rancher decided to move their HCI offering, Harvester, over to RancherOS V2 being based on cOS toolkit/OpenSuse, I don't have high hopes that K3OS will be maintained.

I run k3os on an old laptop with a broken screen.
