# hubbub

hubbub is a frightening idea: Voice-over-IRC-over-SSH. i saw [voirc] by asie
before making this, but hubbub is different in a couple of ways:

- it doesn't plop you in a big alternate screen
- it does not support text
- it has deafen and mute indicators
- crucially, it is built for tilde town, so it tunnels through ssh.

[voirc]: https://github.com/asiekierka/voirc

the code is about as horrifying as the idea itself. if something breaks when it
reasonably shouldn't, let me know (or fix it and then let me know!)

## todo

- [x] joining a channel
- [x] handling everyone's state
- [ ] any of the actual audio stuff

## building
hubbub requires go 1.23 to build. it might run on earlier versions, but i think
`slices` mainlined in 1.23 and i can't be bothered to check. run `go build` and
copy the binary wherever.

## usage
hubbub needs a TOML config file, either passed using `--config` or at
`.config/hubbub/config.toml`:

```toml
username = 'shrike420'
privkey = '~/.ssh/id_ed25519'
nick = 'shrike420_voice'
channel = '#hubbub'
```

note that the nick is different than the username: if you're already logged onto
irc you won't be able to use that nick. you can also pass a different server or
port but you really don't have a reason to.

i'm writing this part about audio way in advance. i'll probably use alsa? either
alsa or pipewire if i can be bothered with pipewire.

here's the controls:
```
,/m/space   toggle mute
./d         toggle deafen
q/^c/^d     quit :(
```
