An In-Depth Guide: Baivaru Viber Bot Skeleton

Image
Introduction What is a bot you ask? A bot is a software application that is programmed to do certain tasks. That doesn’t sound enough of an explanation does it? Bots are automated, which means they run according to their instructions without a human user needing to start them up. Bots often imitate or replace a human user's behavior. Typically, they do repetitive tasks and they can do them much faster than human users could. Now that we understand what bots are, let me also tell you that Viber’s bot platform is open and free for developers to create bots in their ecosystem. As social media and messaging apps have long become our main way to keep in touch with one another and, as such, we count on the service providers and brands on these platforms to offer us the most personal connections possible. Brands have found the answer to this in chat bots – a way for them to simulate conversation with a human through what is essentially a computer program that operates under a specific set...

Turning a Joke into Innovation: AI Integration in our Daily Task Manager

Recently, I developed a ticket management system to streamline day-to-day operations at my workplace. The system is as simple as you’d expect: users can create tickets with tentative completion dates, and team members can post updates on those tickets. However, today I’m not here to discuss how I built the system. Instead, I want to highlight how I integrated AI to help users generate updates with prompts or even summarize the updates they wish to post. It all started as a joke. In today’s world, we rely heavily on AI tools like ChatGPT, BART, and Deep.ai to rephrase our writing and ensure grammatical accuracy. It’s no secret that many of us use grammar tools, whether AI-powered or not. At our workplace, quite a few users do the same. This is nothing to be ashamed of, and no one should be concerned about it. In fact, I believe it’s essential to present ourselves and our ideas clearly and polished. After all, while English may be our primary workplace language, it’s not our mother tong...

Zapping Through Multicast Madness: A Fun Python Script to Keep Your IPTV Streams Rocking!

Image
Hey there, stream wranglers! If you’re in the wild world of IPTV —think hotels, cruise ships, or sports bars blasting live channels to a gazillion screens—you know multicast UDP streams are the unsung heroes of efficient video delivery. But UDP is like that carefree friend who doesn’t check in, leaving you wondering, "Is this stream even alive?"   In this post, we’re looking at a Python script I built to help a friend whose streams randomly drop. It checks both multicast and unicast UDP streams, and if one goes down, it can (optionally) send a heads-up via Telegram. It’s got retries, scheduling, and just enough socket magic to keep things running smooth. Let’s take a look under the hood!  Table of Contents What’s the Deal with Multicast UDP Streams?
