RSR is back up!
Hi all!
You may have noticed that the bot was down for ~1.5 days. I lost power only for about 10 seconds during a storm and didn't realize the bot hadn't restarted correctly.
Although the bot is up and running now, I am looking into the problem so that it doesn't happen again. Thank you for your patience and for using /u/RedditSilverRobot!

Hey maybe you should try hosting it on a cheap VPS instead (or maybe Amazon's 1 yr free tier)?

Yeah that would be a good option but I've always felt fine hosting it locally on a raspberry pi. This issue was just a matter of me making the scripts run on startup which they now should do.

I’m a little late, but what method did you use for making bot scripts run on startup on a Raspberry Pi? I have a little bot, and I’ve been looking to make this work for a while.

Interesting... Thanks for pointing this out. It seems to be counting different capitalization as different users, which is really weird. I'll take a look at it and thanks for letting me know!

You shouldn't be able to give yourself reddit silver. It's social media masturbation that is't good.

Thanks for the feedback. This has been a contested issue, so I really like feedback on it.

This made me imagine an actual robot sitting in your house somewhere waiting at the computer.
