Here is the first episode of the #Linux and #opensource news podcast!
Compared to the videos, I go into more detail on each topic, and I also talk about more topics than what I can cover in the videos.
It's currently only on the website below, and there's an RSS feed to add it to your client of choice, I'll try and add it to other podcast directories in the future (but Spotify doesn't want it for now, spits out a random error, so it will have to wait).

It seems like you didn't set DNS up

Maybe you have it cached in the browser?
There is a generated thumbnail, meaning it worked at some point. Now it doesn't.
Nice. This experience also brings up the topic that IPv6 transition is not that seamless in practice after all.
The topics seem pretty much like a duplicate of the news video. So if you've watched the video the podcast is not really interesting anymore. It might be good to do more of an opinionated deep dive on a few topics. You can also do listener questions and feedback as part of the podcast.
If the idea is that the podcast is for people that don't watch the news video's then it works fine, but I wonder how many people that is
@TheStroyer That’s the idea: it’s for people who prefer longer form content in audio form. There are way more topics in the podcast and each of them is covered in more depth than in the video, so either you want a shorter thing with only the biggest topics and a video, or you prefer longer stuff to listen to.
If it ends up not drawing anyone, I’ll rework it but from the feedback I got on the news video, this podcast seems to be what people were asking for ;)
@Sargon I did, with a chapters.json file, but not all podcast services or client will follow it. I don’t know how to add them in the audio file itself, I don’t think that’s possible!
As per guests, it isn’t planned, but who knows!
Yay, this is going to be great to background while I work, without YouTube spiking my CPU usage... 😸
(Also, just finished the first episode, and yeah, your grammar was fine there. 😺)
#Medium – the proprietary, #SiliconValley equivalent of free and open #fediverse app #WriteFreely, by the #billionnaire co-founder of #Twitter – now has a #Mastodon server.
It might be a good time to take a look at WriteFreely (writefreely.org/) and their hosted services Write.as (write.as/) and WriteFreely Host (writefreely.host/) and consider owning your own #blog on the fediverse instead of contributing to the walled gardens of the folks who bequeathed you Twitter.

I use writefeely on my blog, works great, I have a post coming uo on how to embed posts in to the blog but edit the width and or height.
Thanks for the clarity on this btw, i thought the software was WriteAs.
It also seems pretty lightweight, so just works on a wider range of systems.
The only non-invite only general server is rant.li about which there is no information.
Being a mere greenbeard of the #Fedi rather than total novice, I would appreciate knowing more about the person who would be volunteering to host my content and mailing list which they "reserve the right to discontinue without notice at any time."
@naught101 The object type to replicate Medium would be Article which is for long-form content. HomeTown is a fork of Mastodon that lets users read Articles. WriteFreely lets users write Articles.
Here are all the Object types in the spec. A shared vocabulary like this is what enables all users of Mastodon, PeerTube, WriteFreely, Pixelfed, Gitea to follow and reply to each other.
Mastodon is most dominant and only supports "Note". Which has forced all other ActivityPub software to shoehorn all kind of content into a "Note", even though there's a rich vocabulary that's been standardized.

@wwwgem could give a feedback about his experience ?
I was so … sad today when I learned that #KeepBadgesWeird uses Medium.
I hope I can have a conversation with them this year to learn about the motivation and whether a change would be possible.
Not sure. @epilepticrabbit appears to be responsible for the blog.
But I had prior contact with @dajb .
Well, I will move the conversation over to participate (as DM) I think.
@RyunoKi @epilepticrabbit Yo, happy to have this conversation in the open. We have a number of clients using Medium to whose publications we submit posts.
We use WordPress for our main site and learnwith.weareopen.coop but we've learned over the last seven years to be tech vegetarians rather than tech vegans.
So, while we acknowledge problems with Medium, and have considered moving away from it, we're unlikely to be doing so any time soon.
@dajb
If I understand you correctly those clients would need to migrate first before you could?
Sounds like a chicken-and-egg problem to me 😿
@dajb
What I could imagine, though, is to POSSE (Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere).
But I don't know Medium's ToS OTOH.
@RyunoKi @epilepticrabbit Yeah, I do that personally, but what is good for individuals isn't always good for organisations. I appreciate your concern (and challenge) though!
Another example would be our attempts to move from Google Workspace to Nextcloud last year. We tried at length to create useful workflows that wouldn't get in the way of our existing client work. But, despite helpful people showing us things, it just didn't fit.
Why would they? It goes against everything in their DNA. They have $163M in venture capital (VC).
The VC game goes like this:
1. You get investment
2. You scale (grow) as quickly as you can, as big as you can
3. You exit (sell) – either to a larger corporation or to the public via an initial public offering (IPO)
Nowhere in the game do you make it easier for people to leave your service for your rivals. On the contrary, you do what you can to lock them in.
I've had an account at Medium since before Mastodon existed. It has its good sides, but it goes through drastic changes too often. When it was new it was super easy: signed up with my Twitter account and started writing. Then they went to more paywalled articles.
I haven't posted there in a long time.
I looked at #WriteFreely and its ilk and I'm still curious, but for now I'll stick with my trusty WordPress blog that I've had since 2010.

I'd be interested in knowing how easy it might be to integrate this into my own self-hosted single-user instance, i.e. so I could be
jimsblog@futurist.info
or something like that.
Is it just another nginx block in my existing? Has anyone done this?
I created a poetry publication on Medium, and nursed it up to 80,000 subscribers over several years. Felt like Medium was unsupportive the whole way.
As they turned on pay to view options it felt like I had to fight against their structure even more, so shut it down.
FWIW, I've owned my own domain and blog for years, but moving to @medium as my primary blog host enabled me to get a lot more viewership and better manage comments.
That said, I recognize there are a lot of legitimate gripes regarding Medium's history of pivots etc. I believe the current CEO is amenable to constructive feedback, so I am cautiously optimistic about the site's future.
It's the eternal question of what will win? Executive incompetence or the rich bailing one another out?
@SebasFC Isn’t writing its own reward? :P
(I don’t know if there’s anything baked in. Couldn’t see it at a quick glance. I guess you could always add a link to your posts to your funding site if folks want to contribute. It’s what I do on my blog.)
Great thread. Thanks for starting it. Fantastic discussion. I've never been a fan of #WordPress for the numerous security vulnerabilities it had over the years. Not a fan of #Medium for the reasons listed in the thread.
This minimal version seems like it might be a good fit for me wanting to post longer-than-note length bits.

I'm surprised Medium are still around. I read stuff years ago about how their business model had completely tanked. At one time everyone was using Medium but now you barely hear about them, so how are they still making money?
Maybe that's why they're doing this.

If the data collection problem would only exist for people with a google account then using google search, youtube etc. without an account would not be a privacy issue either.
But it is, and so is piping all notifications through their servers. Them not knowing a corresponding account doesn't mean they don't keep logs.
I did not at all "pretend microG was useless". Please don't make such false accusations. It does have a usecase.
What I am trying to say is things relying on connecting to google should not be marketed as "degoogled".
I don't have months of spare time to read that much code, sorry.
Disagreement is something that happens from time to time and is fine.
However accusing someone out of nowhere of having an extreme opinion they did not state at all is not a nice move. Please don't do that to people.
My takeaway from this discussion is I still hope microG will be developed well and improved, and I hope it will be advertised more accurately (or even better improve to the point where "degoogled" is an actually fitting label.)
Have a nice day (or night) :)

“You can find us anywhere you get your podcasts.”
I *adore* this phrase, because it has been like two whole-ass decades and not one single venture capital darling has managed to unseat plain RSS as the distribution method for podcasts. Not one. (And they have really tried!)
Podcasts are just out there, like air. You don’t go to one place to get them; you get them from everywhere and anywhere. You can choose how you want to engage with them and manage them and it is legitimately heartwarming that nothing has ever gotten in the way of that being a fundamental fact.
This is the best of what the web is. It will never have a stock ticker or even a marketing scheme. Most people don’t even know it is there. But it endures (past the many, many attempts by squillionaire corporates to kill it) because of its absolute unshakable utility.
My suggestion: any time you hear “anywhere you get your podcasts”, send a little thanks to RSS for keeping the real web alive.

and also today you have things like Castopod that lets you host and manage your own podcast, making it ready for RSS and to publish at services like Apple and Google Podcasts.
Castopod is also part of the fediverse so you can follow your favorite podcasts via Mastodon and the like.
I love when a podcast isn't restricted to a platform like Spotify, it must be free for audiences to choose where to consume it.

I have the opposite perspective on the phrase. I'm not a big podcast user, and "anywhere you get your podcasts" doesn't actually tell me where to find it. I don't use apps or a mobile phone for podcasts; my default way to find content is to look for it on a website. But without being told where to go, I have a devil of a time tracking it down.
I'm not arguing the utility of RSS. Just saying it doesn't cover all the bases of where users are coming from.
@mytwobits01 @attacus I want to argue that a good podcast allows you to just enter the website root URL and your audio feed client finds the feed.
Unfortunately that disqualifies 95% of the podcasts I enjoy from being "good podcasts".
It's just one stinking HTML element. But people don't do it. Many don't even facilitate finding it on the web pages and you have to use the podcast search facility and hope someone else found it.

I personally am using MX-6 ATM.
There are other great options like liquid metal, but those you have to be more cautious as they conduct electricity - avoid frying something with those by proceeding with extreme caution (don't bridge anything on accident).
Europe confirms that manufacturers are free to sell Android phones without Google.
