Found that my NAS had updated its Python version a couple of notches since my #mastoBots had last run, and in doing so it had lost some libraries. The underlying Linux OS had been a nice spot to run low-effort scripts in an always-on context.

My random observation bot @randotoot is again working. So there's that.

Further absorbing my old code and hoping to resurrect another my word defining bot which relies on a NYTimes API which may have booted my access by now.

Delving into old toot-bot code over breakfast, and realizing I had forgotten a lot of what I was last up to.

Turns out I'd already moved one project to a non bots.in.space instance and it was running fine until we moved. It stopped on moving day when I tore down our network and reconfig'd in the new place. ha! 😆

Brain was very full for several months thereafter.

I'll get that one working again, if I can understand my old notes. Should be a CRONTAB that was firing it off each day.

What instances are people using to host mastodon bots? I'm obviously trying to be respectful of instances, so I don't want to pick an instance without checking what everyone else is using. Now botsin.space is dead, I'm out of ideas and Googl-ai ain't helping me.

Two things:

1. Has anyone written a thread composer app for Mastodon? I need that. I don't write a lot of threads, but when I do I really miss old Twitter's thread composer.

2. I have to admit that I am very popular with the bots of Mastodon. It seems like a lot of my well hashtagged posts get immediate pings but they're always from robots. Is that happening to everybody?
