If anyone else is interested in this, let me know.

It's likely it will be going forward, so if you'd like an early invite send me a DM.
Tech people in speedrunning (coders, sys admins, networking folks, etc..):

Would any of you be interested in a discord primarily dedicated to this topic?

There doesn't seem to be a good place for this type of discussion, outside of private channels that are mostly intended for stream tech.

Coming soon!

If you're interested in (potentially) helping test, leave a note below and we may get in contact.

(Depends on testing needs. Not getting contacted should be taken to mean we just didn't need more testing.)
Over the last month~ish, I wrote a bluesky analytics dashboard and report generator.

The first report was given to a speedrunning organization today, based on feedback the platform will likely go live publicly with an alpha over the next week or two.

Watch @noirenetworks.bsky.social for details.

We have published notify_discord, a (very little) shell script to make quick notifications to discord easier via webhook.

Run your long jobs, and then call this to get a notification when they finish.

sleep 60 && ./notify_discord "That was a short but successful sleep"
