Bsky spinner

Spins your avatar like a clock

https://bsky.app/settings/app-passwords

Disclaimer: I set this up locally half a year ago and forgot all the steps, so the steps below may be wrong.

To run locally

1. Set up a virtualenv and activate it
2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Get an app password from https://bsky.app/settings/app-passwords
4. Add BSKY_USERNAME, BSKY_PASSWORD, and AVATAR_URL to your enviromental variables, or ride the lightning and hardcode it in
5. Uncomment the # run line at the bottom
6. Call with python spinner.py
7. Ask an LLM "write a script to call python spinner.py every two minutes", and then never turn your computer off

To run on AWS Lambda

Only do this if you're at least a little bit comfortable with AWS.

1. Do steps 1-3 of "To run Locally"
2. zappa init
3. zappa package dev
4. Create a lambda and "upload from zip file"
5. Set the environmental variables in the configuration tab, under environmental variables
6. In configuration > trigger, click "add trigger", select "eventbridge (cloudwatch events)".
7. Set the "schedule expression" as rate(2 minutes).

To run on Azure

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
