The first time I talked with AI santa and it responded with a joke I was HOOKED. The fun/nonsense doesn't click until you try it yourself. What's even more exciting is you can build it yourself:
libpeer: https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer
pion: https://github.com/pion/webrtc
Then go do all your fun logic in your Pion server. Connect to any Voice AI provider, or roll your own via Open Source. Anything is possible.
If you have questions or hit any roadblocks I would love to help you. I have lots of hardware snippets on my GitHub: https://github.com/sean-der.

Show HN: Halloy – the modern IRC client I hope will outlive me (Score: 151+ in 4 hours)

Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6DBW7
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6DBW7

I started working on Halloy back in 2022, with the goal of giving something back to the community I’ve been a part of for the past two decades. I wanted to create a modern, multi-platform IRC client written in Rust.
Three years later, I’ve made new friends who have become core contributors, and there are now over 200 people idling in our #halloy channel on Libera.
My hope is that this client will outlive me and that IRC will live on.
