    • Credentials to your Oauth service. To be placed in the binary folder.

Telegram authentication

How do I do <thing>?

This is still a huge WIP! Don't expect to kill dragons with this code, but issues and PRs are accepted.
As for now, here's what to check if you're curious:

  • settings loads the HCL config file into memory
  • crontasks handles the scheduled actions, including refreshing the Markov model
  • commands handles the /commands that the bot replies to.
  • sendemail (currently disabled!) handles checking for unread email, forwarding it, and marking it as read
  • fakernews-mod modified standalone version of fakernews generates fake Hacker News stories
