¶ Intro
podcasting 2.0 weekly end of the week enjoyment. We are the boardroom that runs on human intelligence, nothing artificial here. I'm Adam curry in the heart of the Texas Hill Country and in Alabama the man you need to call for your enlargement jobs, databases that is say hello to my friend on the other end, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. De Jones.

Don't get me into that game, please. I was the only databases

I was so impressed. I was so impressed. You were reading it while you were streaming it live. And we had lots of people watching it was so that was fun. It was
¶ DB Upgrade Live!
fantastic. You know, you had your pussy by your side.

Adam curry,

that's what do you mean, now you're your black cat?

I do agree with I do agree with Alex. It is it is the height of folly to allow your cat to walk around on the on the desk while you're doing server maintenance. That is a very stupid idea. And that did not stop me from doing it though.

This was I think we could have a dude named Ben channel where all you can switch between is the way if you didn't see it, people. So you basically saw Dave screens and then in the corner was Dave and he would he and he had a playlist going so you know we're listening to the music we see in your, your what you're typing on the screen, all your different terminal windows are open. And you know, and everyone's of course waiting for you to show something you shouldn't show.

Flick my credit card number something, whatever, whatever you have,

then you switch it over to the cat. And then you're then you popped on the mic and like, look at my keyboard, I got a whole bunch of these keyboards and it was key point keyboard porn. Oh, that's a great keyboard. I love that. Where'd you get that keyboard? It was

interesting, is showing off my 1980s keyboards that weigh 20 pounds each. Yeah, that's great.

And in general, I just like to say, cuz it was a congress, you know, no agenda, social froze or something. I'm
¶ Sysadmins run the world.
not quite sure what happened. And then, as usual, you know, and it doesn't matter if people use a resource, like our Macedon server for no agenda for free, or if they pay for it doesn't matter. People always pitching. And I just want to say, seriously, you know, now, in a big tech land, it's called a glitch, you know, just as glitch. But it's huge, long, long, long ago, I understood that the people who really run my world and I think everybody's world, our SIS admins, server
admins, IT admins, do you need to temper yourself? Yes, because it's, I mean, random acts of kindness will get you very, very far with, with the people who run the world, and they truly are the ones who run your world, you don't know it. But when something goes wrong, if you're the first one

you have partially as I feel like I can say this with authority, you have partially built your career on making own on being kind and be and playing nice with sis admins. That has been important. I mean, that light has been a part of has been part of you for for 25 years, at least.

Actually, it goes a little bit further than that. When I started doing television when I was 19, I made sure I knew how everybody's job worked. So I knew how the cameras work. I'm not saying that I could be a better cameraman, but I knew how they worked. I knew how they how the dollies worked, how the intercom work, how you press the button to see the live feed. I knew how audio the audio engineer the lighting engineer make up everything I made sure I knew it because television you
need everybody. If everyone's not on board is going to suck if one person is out of sync and it's with film I guess the same I don't know that much about film but it gets similar and I've always wanted to know how everybody's job worked. And so the similar when when technology came along, because only then can I get out of it what I want out of it is if I know how everything works and I can sympathize with the issues of others

oh yeah yeah. So you you need to know how their stuff works so that you can understand their their frustrate you can empathize so you can have empathy. Yeah, well

not just have empathy but I can brainstorm and say well, okay, I don't know exactly how this works. But can we do this? And if you're not full of crap, which most people are at You know, then you'll have an interesting conversation you'll figure it out.

Because no, because this will cause like, no gender social. Is it still down?

No, no, no, it was back up. But you know, so I started that Mastodon site running on Amazon EC two instance. And I ran it for two years and then it just became so unwieldly you know, the upgrades, all the stuff that's going on the pruning of the data, but I just couldn't handle it anymore. And then Matt Hamilton stood up and said, I'll do it. I'll do it and I'll take it in. I'll run it my basement with predictable results, like any server from time to time,
shits the bed. Yeah, especially especially Mastodon, like just just about it's a centralized resource. 10,000 people have an account and Lord knows knows how much is federated through it. And just people can I mean, I won't say they always complained like verge down there. That's like, yeah, so what Okay, it'll come back up and yeah, but it would just when the when the show was going you needed it now.

I don't guess have ever told you my guess we've
¶ Dave's 3 pillars of Helpdesk
ever talked about my three pillars of helpdesk.

Oh, goodness, this sounds like some inside info that will do me.

Yeah, well, I mean, it's, it's, it's these are part of the it's part of a larger, you could call it there's a lot more here. I mean, so like what like one of us say these are like a bunch of rules of it, where it's kind of like Ron Swanson's pyramid of greatness. Maybe he has like a whole bunch of I got a whole bunch of these things, but you can wrap it, but it's specifically helpdesk you can rap. You can rap most. I've been doing helpdesk for 27 years. I started in 1990. End of
96. Wow. So I mean, like that's it's been I've been hands on with end user support in some capacity. That was almost 30 years Novell

networks. You were still using Novell. Yeah, yeah.

So So I mean, this is born out of a long, long experience. The three pillars of helpdesk are all software sucks, and is full of bugs. That's number one. Number two, users don't tell you the truth. Yep, total number three, nobody reads your emails. Those are the three pillars.

There's a fourth one. When in doubt, install Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Actually, if there's a fourth one, it's it's this if whatever is wrong, if you're on Wi Fi, that's at least 50% of the vote. That's definitely

DNS. And there's always a DNS as long as yes is always an issue.

But, but all but the, there's a reason that rule number one is all software sucks. And it's full of bugs. It's true, because it's true. Or SIS admin, there's nothing you can do about it, though, like I wasn't perfect case in point I was on I was doing an Amazon order this morning. And, and I went in there to add an address to because this was going to be dropped, shipped to somebody else. So I go in there to add an address. And in the address field for the street address, I
it came up and it was it was pre populated with something. So I take my mouse a click in there, and I swipe the mouse cursor to the left in order to highlight the entire string so I can delete it. Oh, I do that when I swipe to the left, the address entry screen goes away. So I do it again. In a in a in a trust select at click drag to the left in the whole thing goes away again. And then it dawned on me. This is a mobile gesture bug in
the desktop version of Amazon. They haven't fixed yet. This is on the move probably arguably the largest highest traffic site in the world commerce, e commerce and they still have a subtle gesture and mobile gesture bug in their input forms. Of course, it also sucks all of it

so I really wish everyone I guess another one is people users always have the caps lock on when they don't know their password or it's not working that's always that's always kind of like a given but what happens with in my household now of course I'm IT guy here you know that's that's cool. But I'm also I get passed through messages through Tina from her friends who she's onboarding onto podcasting 2.0 apps and the message usually the message usually come through
like this. This thing is so glitchy so glitchy. Well, what are you trying to do? No and here's actually an interesting one. That was like wow, really this When I use Siri in the car, the podcast stops playing. Well, yeah, of course it does. That's, that's the OS. That's not the app. And but then the next thing is then, after I've used theory, the volume controls don't work. You know, so it's stuff like this. And there's like, it's so glitchy. I'm going to I'm gonna go back to whatever you're
feeling whatever I was using. And I was like, no, no, no, this is great. thank her. Thank you so much. And this is the other side of the equation. Thank you for identifying this bug. You know, while you're a bug Hunter, I need you here. I need you to do this. This is great. You're helping humanity. Yeah, continue, please continue to break things. Yeah, this is the other side of it. You know, sis admins and helpdesk have to also understand that you need to, to approach people with Wow,
that's, I mean, that's amazing. There's a whole a whole department of quality assurance that did not find that Oh, my God, do you have a future job if you want one? So we have to kind of live with each other. We have to kind of do that. Anyway, back to the database upgrade. Congratulations, that was that worked.

In it's great. Like it's it has definitely helped like Millia like most certainly it has helped load aggregation times. So upgrading the database. Yeah, it was fun doing the live stream. That was great. And then I'm a little addicted to live stream coding now.

But I can understand it's all ego of course, but I can understand.

Oh, yeah, full is yes.

100% Oh, no.

It is it is from A to Z ego.

I did this on Megyn. Kelly, I can't believe it. I threw out 100%

And I just my number you didn't you just did it.

And I went oh, I'm sorry. I retract that. She said what what happened? What happened? I said 100%. I'm trying to get away from that. Why? Because Kara Swisher says it. Is it you say that? Oh, yeah. threw her under the bus. No problem. No problem.

See my visa? Why Postgres SQL instead of Mongo? i
¶ Db upgrade
If you talk about the main database, it's neither as MySQL. That's not Yeah, I guess it's weird. So you want

to give us Are there any details? I mean, do you want to just give us I mean, this is the central podcast index database, you know, we increased our costs, we increased increased our capacity, our I guess, our processing speed, or our data retrieval speed. I mean, tell give us a little a little breakdown here.

All of the above, it was most number one issue was disk space, we were at at 81% disk space usage. So that was going to have to change. The biggest the biggest issue was display. Second biggest issue was just processor, we needed more CPU, because we're just doing a lot more traffic. Right. And we had a I think people would be very surprised at this at the amount of horsepower, we get out of the size of database
instance we were using. So we were that database had the old one had 16 gigs of RAM, six vCPUs in like three keep turning 120 database reward when he

was 16 or what you had 16 Watts, what are those

16 gigabytes of ram,

ram it baby.

So, I mean, if you look at h top, it was like,

Oh, I love your H top show me your H top.

I'm on h top. But if you look at it was like nut, all the all the CPU, all the cores are pegged at like 95 plus percent all the time, just pretty much constantly. Now everything now it's it's a 32 gig box with eight CPU cores. 640 gigs of RAM, so we can fit, we can easily fit the entire podcasts table, feed table in RAM cast fully, we can fit most a lot of the joining tables in and that's helping a lot. So we're getting we're able to, since the the cache size is
about 28 gigs. So that means you know, on the second request, it's pulling straight out of ram a lot of the time unless you do some sort of like full and

that's what makes it that's what makes everything always fast. Right? Pull it out of Ram Ram. Yep,

for sure. So like things like just things like very frequent lookups like in the In the dev API key table and stuff like that, I mean this stuff just be it's just smoke fast now. So, yeah, no, it's it was good. And so that led us. The other thing we needed was at the aggregators, there's, there's nine aggregators. And they all, they all grab batches of feeds at a time according to some sequel selectors. And to try to, like even everything out across, even the load out across
all the aggregator fleet. So they, they grab batches of feeds. And then when they when they write back to the database, he would just get these like, occasionally get deadlocks, because Oh, no

deadlock, bad. Deadlock, deadlock bad.

So that got better after the upgrade. But then I sort of spent some time the day afterwards, going through and doing something I've been meaning to do for a while it's improved the aggregators, and they're more reliable now. So what I did was, I want everything to be as maximum
utilization. So the way this works is that there's two there's nine aggregators, they each are they each take a batch of feeds, so like, aggregator one grabs, all the feeds that are marked as for immediate poll, immediate parse, between feed ID zero and a million aggregator two takes all of the immediate parse feeds
1,000,002 million. Okay. Right.

So that that's the first selector criteria. So it takes those off the top can

ask you a question. Could you get a feel for these things, right? You say four of those aggregators, I guess that go up to the 4 million or 5 million? Do you notice that one of those is a little faster than the other?

One of them is a little fishy.

I knew it because you can feel that shit. Like you can't. Just faster just this faster, I know is cool.

Well, this is an interesting thing, too, for some reason, and I'm not sure exactly why don't have if it's got something to do it the way that we initially seated the database or whatever. But a lot of the frequently updated podcasts, the most frequently updated podcasts are in the zero to a million ID range. There's a lot a lot of those. So a lot of them have a six digit ID numbers, or five digit ID numbers, like, over like podcasts into 10920666. Is the is podcast index ID for that
or 92066920666. Really, that's

we are 920666. Yeah, that doesn't feel good.

Can't change it was the devil's number. Yeah,

no kidding.

No agenda is 41 504. So there's a lot of these low numbers that I don't know, they just ended up in that range. So Mr. Spitz are not now unfortunately, wanting to like, like some special cool

code, man.

Yeah. But okay, so you have, that's, that's what each aggregator does initially, but then that may only be at any given time, that may only be like, I don't know, 10 feeds, right there that are marked for immediate polling. So it fills in the rest of, of its batch. With, with other with feeds that have not based on a priority system, it's there's a priority number in their, in his it's descending of priority. Plus, sorted by how old how long. It's been since the feed was last checked. So

do you have a whole this is called an algorithm also sometimes called artificial intelligence? is fully AI? Yeah, we need to put that podcast index.org. Now with AI?

Yeah, we can claim that we can get r&d research credit tax credit. Now your

talk, you know what this whole thing is r&d research credit.

Oh, yeah, that, you know, we need to apply for that. But we'd have to I think

we have to pay ourselves first in order to it's only for people I think

it's only for payroll, right. We don't have we don't have payroll wouldn't work. So, yeah, so it feels it feels in that so what I wanted to do was make sure that it's getting as many feeds as it possibly can at every poll. So I have it start what's called

maximizing the pool.

Yes, maximizing the pool Showtime. It starts at In 1000, feeds, it pulls us out. So this would be each aggregator does this, it starts at 1000. And then at a at a time, pulls that in if it if it will pull the feeds, and then we're using aggravator, which is the rust polar, then it passes that batch of feeds to party time, which is the JavaScript parser. If party time crashes, we know that there was, too it pulled too much data and it ran node out of memory. So basically, it drops a touch
file before it starts, passes it to node. If that touch file is still there, after it completes, it knows that it knows crash. It's hung. Right? Yeah, it just get quit it crashed it core dumped. Yeah. So it backs off in increments of 100 feeds. And until it finds that it doesn't crash.

There's a very intricate algorithm you've created here.

Yeah. Being complicated,

there's a lot of this freedom controller knowledge.

No, this is just stuff that we've learned since the index. Okay. You will the freedom trailer never had this many feats to deal with, right? True. You just never had this kind of problem you're talking about, like the average from Costa Rica was like 6000 feet, you know, it's not a big deal. But so it finds it finds a point where it doesn't crash. And then just in then stays there. And if it stays there for 48 hours, it tries to move up a little bit more. If it crashes, again, it's
it goes back down. So it'll periodically try to raise its feed pole level. If it can.

Now this was maybe crazy 48 hours, maybe a crazy question. But when it dumps core, I mean, does that mean something fundamentally is wrong? Or is that just an out of memory issue?

It it runs or shooting code

isn't just shitty code. This is my code

as well remember rule number one also for stocks and even even years, you know. So the, the issue here is that, like aggravator, you can throw, you could throw 100,000 feeds at it, and it will take about 30 minutes to download them all. But it will do it. Yeah. And it will never use more than 200 Meg's RAM at the most. That's just it's just super efficient
that way. Once you pass the feed X and mail over to party Tom, JavaScript has, I mean, you you have limits there because now you're dealing with XML, you're passing potentially 11 to 20 megabytes of XML per feed sometimes crazy. And so you can easily end up with if you pull too many feeds at once. That's

with gigabytes and gigabytes of stuff. Yeah, yeah, you could

hand party time, five gigs of XML data to deal with and he can't fit it in memory. So it basically so that it does it, it just self adjust as it goes until it finds each until it finds the happy place for each aggregator. And some aggregators are running right now. It 250 to 300 feeds, some are averaging 150 feeds per poll. And it's just it just happens to be whatever mix that they're comfortable with. But
each one is maximized. I mean, like they're they're almost you know, they're going full bore all the time.

I love this new metric FPP.

What is FPP? Fees? Proposal? Fee? proposal is where

we use predominant, we use pedometer on the on the index homepage. fees per pole. Yeah, fees per pole, how many FPP? We run them? Brah.

Let's see what is that? Let's see this about I think we're averaging about 200. So that's so we're right, we're probably about 2000 feeds per per minute. Wow. Yeah, per minute. And that's prioritized for you know, those different factors that I was talking about.

And so when I hit pod ping, do I move to the top of some stack? Do I have preference when I use when I hit pod ping? Or does it do I have to wait in some queue? Well, I

mean, everything's got to be everything. He does get queued. I mean, it has to Yeah, but the first thing, the first thing that all the aggregators do is try to pull immediately parse feeds that have been pod paint. Because the pod ping and the pod ping notices and the web sub notifications all that stuff goes into one batch. So it pulls all that and what and we automatically recheck value for value enabled feeds every 30 minutes anyway.

Oh, very cool. Oh, it's so there's almost 15,000 feeds that get prioritized.

Yeah. So those those get run through every 30 minutes regardless of whether they it's not a real burden because we're doing what do you call it? Like an E tag? And yeah, to

make sure it's a 500 check, and yeah, make sure it's updated. Otherwise you don't you don't pull it in.

Yeah. So we, I mean, it's just a quick check, and we get three or four and it's just it's not, it doesn't cost us anything to do that. Wow. Yeah, no, it's working. That's

so cool, man. Um, thank you on behalf of the entire board of podcasting 2.0 Thank you for your courage. Thank you for the work you're doing. It's it's appreciated. And it's it's mystifying. It's overwhelming. And it's also just baffling is like, and it's impressive. It's impressive. And you have a full time job. I want to point out, I mean, does your family still live with you? Do you know if they're still around? Yes. They went away for two years and came back and didn't even realize

I got they went out. My wife and daughter went out of town. And that's what I guess. Oh.

I was like, Wow, man day spending his whole weekend doing this. Okay, now I got it. Did you actually feed the cat or they just left a cat on the desk the whole weekend?

No, it'd be fun. Wow, water is all they need.

Wow. Well, breaking news. Just change topic here for a second. As the podcast industrial complex continues to crumble. Spotify is racist. Let's get that Oh boy. Oh, yeah, they do this. Spurlock posted a Bloomberg article, which he also
¶ Leaving Spotify?
gave me. So that Yeah, yeah, Jamel Hill to leave Spotify and shut down her podcast network, at least on Spotify. And this was a big deal. They brought her in and let her start her own podcast network for black podcasters. And it's, you know, it's a here's how Bloomberg reads another another prominent podcasters leaving Spotify as the company reverses many of its biggest investments in original audio and loses yet another black voice

yet and who was the other one?

The other one was the button go doo doo Vernay.

I don't know that is

shift du Vernay if the if the articles as this filmmaker. Okay, so what happened? This is all Dawn Ostroff legacy, spending more than a billion dollars to acquire studios and exclusive licenses. And she's signed to much fanfare several black celebrities to exclusive deals including the Obamas of course high their production company Higher Ground filmmaker Ava DuVernay and rapper Joe Budden.
And du Vernay, she left, you know, when, when Joe Rogan was when they when she when they created the super clip of Joe Rogan using the N word.

Oh, I didn't really okay, so that was that. Alright.

So she just left because they wouldn't do anything. But I think the really scandalous thing. And this, you know, these are Swedes, so they don't, they're probably not as sensitive as they should be to how Kancil culture works in America. When all this happened, then Jamel Hill, then she's she's famous, you know, she was ESPN. And then she got fired from ESPN for being just insane.

She said she had reason to fire somebody.

So she issued a statement saying, you know, we need to have Spotify paying $100 million to a black person, which at the time was was what Rogan's deal was reported to be, although, of course, we know that probably much more. And so what they did is they eventually created the Creator Equity Fund, which will be $100 million. And they pretty much didn't spend any of that as far as I know.

Yet another example of Spotify, announcing something but never actually doing

exactly. So I don't know what she's going to do where she but I think in general, the problem is Spotify can't afford to do this anymore.

I don't think anybody can afford to do this anymore. Based on the news from the past week with all the women's podcast conferences are not getting funding all all all. All of the identity groups within podcasting. Have you funded during the good times? Yep, all the money is going away. And you see the the people who who like virtue signaling they were on board with the with these groups, they're all just yanking it back and all taking they're taking the money back and

I think the the conferences really, I think as far as I understand that business really need the sponsors. And I don't think that she conference got any sponsors that I wish They just said we didn't have enough people to attend. Now to make it work that, because it's very sad story. But you know, the conference business is not easy. It's not

an easy thing to do. You have to like, if I understand it correctly, you have to, like pre, like pre agree or maybe even pre pay in advance for like concession. Yeah, all

kinds of stuff. You gotta you gotta you gotta reserve stuff.

Yeah, it's I was the only thing I did didn't understand about that story was, like, where it said, one of the ladies involved said that she had taken out a $50,000 loan personally. Covers. And I was like, but which is fine, but I don't know, what would you be getting a loan against? What's the collateral?

You can get, you can get money, you know, got a crazy range or whatever. I mean, there's all kinds of ways to do that.

mean, like, I'm just saying, Oh, she didn't put her house up.

No, that's horrible. But this is, this is what was expected to happen once the free money train was over. We predicted this quite, quite clearly. But there's other stuff. It's very interesting to hear how there's a lot of
¶ YouTube is a bad actor? 😟
pushback now. And as people realize, YouTube is a bad actor. Oh, no. What, who expected that? You know, everyone's everyone got so excited about Facebook. And, you know, and all these companies promising stuff, and they never come through. But YouTube, which is a Google property is is is of particular interest, because they have a history of ruining RSS projects.
Specifically reader, you know, that that really just crashed and entire, an entire software category, you know, there were there were lots of if you didn't use a an independent, independent application, you could use Google Reader on Google. And they just shut it down with some bullcrap thing, oh, people aren't using it. And they started their social
network, because they really couldn't control it. And, you know, now that I'm hearing that at least one I'm hearing from a good source, at least one hosting company will be cooperating with YouTube. You know, I have to I have to just say, again, this is a very bad idea. You are putting the entire podcast infrastructure at risk, because it's always a race to the bottom in the hosting business. You know, and by that,
I mean, everyone's doing dai inserting ads. So I think that the the CPM, and the actual value of that is that's just going straight down. It always does is how it works. supplies a man. Yeah, race to the bottom. But you know, when I get right now, AI is the hot thing I was talking about ai, ai and Buzzsprout has implemented AI. And that's fine. I think the more I look at artificial intelligence, compared to the hype of blockchain, which lasted for a good five, six years
there. In general, AI is good for the economy, because everyone hypes it up, and you all got to have it and everyone starts sticking it into their company name and, you know, money flows, and people start using it and there's excitement but the AI winter is coming. But you know, what happens is one company does it then everybody I've just listened to pod news weekly review. So are you guys doing AI? Yeah. Are you guys
gonna do YouTube yet? We're gonna do Don't, don't. We have such a Can't we cannot compete with Google's ad insertion, but
¶ Podcasting 2.0's got it going on
we certainly can not help them out. And we and we do have other really cool things that we cannot, you know, okay, so we're finally kind of everyone getting transcripts going in and chapters, we have value for value, which is completely different from the advertising game. build this out and promote that more. And I just don't think that people who are either podcasting now or starting a podcast are all like, oh, I need to have artificial intelligence, do my show notes. I just don't
believe it. It's a marketing thing. It's used for new customers as far it just that's my, my, my experience, guess

what? So you know, in the tax industry, which is my day job, the we've been through this cycle, many many times. And we if you go back to 2017 2019. There in you go to a tax conference, tax software conference or something like that. You're going, you would have heard, and I did there you would have heard heard keynote. He keynote talk after keynote talk after breakout session after breakout session about blockchain and machine learning and AI. This was six Dino This was 678 years ago.

That's the future man. Forget about Bitcoin. The technology of blockchain is very interesting. It's the future.

Yeah. And voice and voice assistants.

Voice assistants. Yeah. All right.

There's, there's this great article from about five years ago that was written in, in an industry magazine that was like, the, you know, the typical tax professional. Here's, here's what life is gonna look like 10 years from now. Yeah, the tech, you know, your tax professional. Jane, she wakes up in the morning, and she immediately asks her voice assistant, hey, voice assistant, what what do I have on my calendar today? In the voice assistant says, Oh, Hello, good
morning, Jane. You have three appointments today, one with you know, this client and this client and this client? And she says, Oh, what, what is the first one about is, oh, this client wants to talk to you wants to talk to you about their new business strategy that they're contemplating. And Jane replies to the voice assistant. Oh, can you run? Can you run an analysis of what this type of tax situation looks like in the state of New York?

Star Trek Star Trek shit. Yeah.

It is bullcrap. It's so she like. But this, this whole article was about doom and gloom, like a the tax industry is going to be destroyed by this new technology. And we've been through this many, many times before. And this is just the like, this is the the reality of all of these things is way more mundane than all of that, like you will win it fine. In I wrote an article for an industry trade magazine back in 2019, about this very subject, that the the reality of the way that things
¶ Making AI useful
like this new technologies come into widespread use within industry, is they come in through by being baked into the tools you already use. And so I think bus Brad is a great example. So they're their tool, lets you automatically generate chapter markers. That's one of the things that does, hey, that's a great idea. Because now people who didn't want to take the take the extra time to create chapters, now they get it, they essentially get it. I know it costs but they get it
quote unquote, for free. So podcasting 2.0 gets more feature, you know, they this is a new podcasting 2.0 enabled podcast that wouldn't have before because the person didn't want to bother.

I do want to point out that hyper capture has had this capability to create chapters automatically for I don't know, two years.

Probably based off the transcript. Yes, of course. Yeah, of course,

you know, so, but you know, you call it AI and it's cool. That's fine. That's fine.

That's that's the way that large language model technology will make its way into now everyday use and it's in it's it's mundane stuff like that. I mean, it's stuff that just is a slight tweak to your already existing process. But

I I just have to point out again, I love dred Scott's choices. I love dred Scott's choice of imagery. I
¶ 🙌 Adam loves my chapters! 🙌
love, love what he does. He's talent. It's pure human talent, like, Oh, this is a great chapter based upon factors that AI can't even fathom right now. Can't even take into account.

The AI thing is such in again, we had a conversation at the office about this very thing this morning. The AI thing is just such a tech industry. Like, miss, they are perfect.
¶ Thurrott on AI
They're intentionally Miss communicating what this thing is

agreed. And it's all for money. It's all to get money rolling.

I got a I've got a couple of clips.

Oh, we haven't had a clip in a while from you, Mr. Jones,

one of which is Paul throt. Explaining what and I would I would say that Microsoft is probably the biggest culprit and all this bull crap.

While it's running on a lot of their Azure servers this is this week in Windows or this week in Microsoft or is that what this is from Windows weekly, Windows weekly.

So he is explaining here. In clip one, he's explaining what what this really is all about is the stock price.
We've had this discussion in the past about I kind of evolved over time, but I believe that AI came out of Microsoft at this point in time, specifically because of the market cap and the stock price. And they're a bit they needed something to goose that because, you know, as your revenue growth was 70 7070 6040 27% last quarter, and they were they weren't they didn't want was Wall Street to suddenly react and say, Oh my God, what's going on with this company, they used
to be on the leading edge. And now they're Oldsmobile again. And so I think AI puts them back up with a perception. Absolutely.

Oh, man, I'm telling I'm using that clip for no agenda, thank you. Good, clear, totally accept, and they were indeed the ones who first came out. But then it got all twisted by the PR people also known as propagandist. And it got turned into the future. And that's when Google had to come up with barf and all that other stuff.

It's funny that you mentioned the PR, or the marketing people, because clip two of this sequence is about the marketing guy, and Microsoft and what he you know, and the the email that he sent out internally about any of you. This is in the context of Microsoft said, I think it was maybe a month ago, or a couple of months ago, they told all their employees that they're basically not gonna get a raise this year, nobody's nobody's all the bonuses are going to be
tiny. Nobody's getting a raise, basically, everything's all their pay is frozen. And so that's clip two is what what that all is about
Chris cap, Chris capozella, our friend gotten a lot of trouble recently, because an internal email he had written in response to employees complaining about compensation
and not getting raises when public. And what he wrote was, he's like, guys, like, there's nothing, you know, like, he doesn't control their raises, by the way, is the market chief marketing officer, but he said, Look, this very plain language, if you want to be compensated better, you need to make sure that you're doing something to positively impact Microsoft
stock price. And what he meant by that was AI, like, you need to make sure that you're at your, that your job is to put AI into whatever your product is. And my god, people went after him like he was like the Antichrist or something. But really, he's really doing is just kind of parroting the internal emails that Microsoft executives were sending out last year saying, Guys, we are doing AI, you need to wrap your heads around this, and you need to get on board because this is happening.

Oh, man, I can't even imagine the support nightmare that's going to happen for IT departments when the AI gets, you know, starts indexing all of your stuff. And you know, and not coming up with the right answers. It's gonna be hard and
¶ AI Fun
even just stopping it from indexing stuff. It's gonna be horrible.

Oh, yeah. I mean, we, you know, at our firm, we had to send it send out a message saying, hey, you know, you can't use these tools. Because I mean, you if you got it, that's proprietary information. You can't just be handing this out to the things as as most companies are having to do now, like, there's there's all these moratoriums going out to everybody saying, Hey, you can't submit our internal stuff.
But I think just like be exact. Yeah, exactly. I mean, you're basically that's like, that's like a it's like a manual data breach. Yeah. But we're, you know, I go back to what Peter Thiel said in, I think it's this sort of famous saying in 2013. He knows we're, we were promised flying cars, and what we got was 140 characters. Yeah, that's That's true. There is a there's a technological innovation. I think his term was deceleration is happening. All the big. All the big monster advancements
have already been done. Where there's hardly any of division, none of those left that we know of. And what's what they're trying to do now is all about trying to just get every last cent. Yeah, out of the market before this whole thing just just falls.

So let's be different. I'm gonna take this
¶ A Podfather plea
back to YouTube. I'm making a plea to all hosting companies to not participate in the YouTube RSS ingestion. Even if your customers ask for it. If we stand strong than if everyone says no, we're just not as an industry, we're not doing that this will be the one thing we could do, which will send a very, very strong message to the world. Now, do I think that will happen? No, I'm pretty sure at least one company will do this. And that will make everyone or almost everyone feel they need
to do this. So the minute that happens, I am going to start a counter initiative. I am and this is baby view. Yeah. And, and this is based on my fantastic experience with start OS right now. No, this is the start nine which I would say on Roll is just like that only start nine, doesn't string
¶ Start9
Dockers together, it built an OS for this stuff. And it and you really don't I have not seen a command line yet. So it kind of works quite well. And it's stable. And they do have a, it's just it's a it's a very cool box. I mean, it's, there's, of course, it's not done yet. And there's all kinds of things they need to do and you need to access it either locally or on tour and all this stuff but helipad is running on it.
Beautifully stable. The new version also, by the way, the one that has the stream as well as the boost.

Oh, the one other GitHub. Yep. Off the repo. Yeah, it's been even have an image for that yet.

It's in the app store that's in the Start nine application store or whatever they call it there. IPFS podcasting in their works. It will be an official app soon. I would like to see a big plea to our French brothers. Casta pod will be beautiful.

Oh, yeah. Just while you go, huh? No, as

I said, Yeah, I mean that because I could never it was very hard to get cast upon running a bundle that up in their app system. I think that will be a great app to have you and the companies on board that really want to support peer to peer tube. Thank you the next one. And here, here's the question I had. Is there a way I mean, I guess you can have alternate enclosure with IPFS. Which, of course would require for it to work properly the apps to add IPFS knowledge into their
into their apps, which may not be trivial, I'm not sure. But let's just say you have pinning server, the initiative I would want to start is, here's your sovereign podcasting stack. And, and I would start it you can you don't have to buy start nine, you can load start nine on your old hardware, do whatever you want, you know, just like Umbral, here's your stack. And distribution works through IPFS. And here's these IPFS, like exit
nodes if you know for HTTP access to the files. And my initiative would require that anyone who uses this uses value for value, and that there's a upfront sharing of SATs for who anyone who's running one of these nodes. Now, I don't want to go down the filecoin route and all that, and this is just coming together in my head. But if if we start giving our shit to YouTube, the end is in sight. And with that, I mean the end of
hosting companies. Because once these guys see some money, they're gonna take it, they'll take whatever they can, they will take it away from you, and they'll hide the it's a little hijack. And so the only way I know how to do it is to resort to this. And I think that this initiative could work if we, if we really thought about it. But the you know, we've we've had it
this IPFS podcasting works. It works, you load up the app, you blow it on the iPad, app, two nodes now running an Umbra one on Start OS, and you can get these files, and we have nodes all over the world. It works. And people are using it very few. I have a feeling that that type of initiative will be needed as this as a backup plan. Because we just can't count on commercial hosting companies to stay solid.

The only thing I can say is, here's the here's my initial thought is you said if they see you're said if YouTube starts to see the money. Yeah, you know, that's when they'll do. The only thing I can think of here is that there's just not that much money. It is not the way that it's not worth their time.

Well, no, no, they have a very, very well established advertising business. It may not be as big as it was a year and a half ago, but it's still it's a huge behemoth. There's billions of dollars a quarter. And you know, and they'll just they can insert anything they want to do they have the market on advertising. And that's literally the thing that they're not allowing you to do is upload ads. So it's very obvious where they see the money. They won't charge you.
They won't charge you. But that's where it's I mean, it's going to be just like Spotify, which is now of course you know, we've now lived with it for how many years we live with Spotify, podcasting, it's falling apart. They've turned racist. You know, all this stuff is happening. We're listening When you turn racist, which of course they're not, but they're going to be deemed racist. Now they're being cancelled. Spotify is being cancelled, and YouTube will slip right in and say, Oh, we can do
it better. You watch

the. There's Well, there's I don't know if you saw that other article about how it's like, it's June and Spotify and gimlet ringer and all the Spotify own networks still don't have their budgets for the year.

No, of course not. I haven't seen like article. I didn't see the article. Yeah, that

thing's I mean, like, it's, there's a lot of hand wringing going on within the Spotify production companies. This whole thing. The reason I say that about YouTube's much about the amount of money this, then I don't know if you've been sort of kind of keeping track of this. But the numbers that are reported within the podcast industry as far as revenues go, they've always been. Let's just say PSAs. But shut Yeah, suspect. Oh, but

Yeah, hello, millennial. Young kids. Millennial, Dave speaking.

Yes. I heard a guy recently. He's, he's like a 25 or something like this. I'm picking up the lingo.

Sketch sketch. Yeah,

I'm starting to say cringe ally.

No, no, no, this is so bad.

But they've always been a little suspect. Now. At the point, this point. They're all over the map. I mean, you see, i be i think it is reporting like $1.8 billion in the podcasting, you know, industry. Let me get and then and then you'll have some people saying, here's this Magellan AI report, which I which I always look at, which I think is great.

For comedy purposes, is this why he's looking at

Yes, for comedy. Yes. Supposedly, this Podcast, the podcast industrial complex is worth $1.8 billion. That's what we've been. That's what we've been being told. One of the key findings of the Magellan AI report was that podcast ad spending in quarter four, increased 23% year

over year. Echo notices quarter over quarter, quarter over quarter. Okay. Yeah,

so at $1.8 billion a year. You're telling me that the podcast ad spending went up like $400 million in a quarter? Give me a break. Now. This is what we this is what we call horse manure. Yeah,

no. And I think the baseline number 1.8 billion it includes probably include Sirius XM you know portion of revenue from you know the quote unquote satellite radio. I heard from the radio stations it's in and they don't really have numbers. I don't think they have the actual numbers. Not everyone reports numbers. So yeah, it's just it just whatever. I'm not sending it.

I bet you the total revenue of ad podcast advertising. Total global I mean, like worldwide, a real number is probably a few 100 million. And that's just not anything for YouTube. That's That's chump change. It's chump change. When you like look at look at tick tock so tick tock.

That's there. Now you can now you're talking that's where the real money is.

Did and this is fun. This is a good article. So if you think you should read it, you're kind

of taking away the reason for my whole initiative now.

Like it, go ahead. No, no, I retract retract.

No, I mean, not now you're saying there's no money? You know, I look, I look. Alright, Joe. It just bugs me. This is the one thing that is distributed in podcasting has done so well. And I'm worried and in general, I'm worried
about the health of these companies. I don't know if all of them will survive the and we're not seeing I'm convinced we're not seeing new podcasters you know, it's not like the like the industry is growing with more podcasters just isn't I mean, we can see that we're not seeing the we're not seeing an incredible increase in new shows being created. So you know, it's like it just as we say in the old country, I can feel it on my water. My water is telling me this isn't this is we're in a
little bit of a precarious situation. We've got people investing into this YouTube thing, like they invested into Facebook and God note and and and Spotify for podcasters mean what do you think that means? That's literally your competitor you helped build there.

And I think I understand what you're saying. I do and I think you're I think your instinct. I mean, I feel your instincts are right because the pot guest hosting is the concept, okay, the podcast hosting concept of just, you know, pay him pay it, you pay a monthly fee, and we host all your stuff and make it easy for you to create content. That's a good business. Yeah. That's a good solid. Like, not scammy business, you provide a service and you you get that service for
a reasonable price. Like, if, if what happens is YouTube just sees that it's so easy to scan to confiscate that entire business for free.

Remember, you're giving people hosting all they have to do, all YouTube has to do they say, Hey, you know, what? What are you paying over there at? And they know your email address. They know who you are, but he paid over there to at hosting company X, you know, we're gonna now provide RSS feeds. So why would you be over there? When you get us, you get our marketing, you get our placement, you get our
promotion, you get our ads, and here's an RSS feed. And then all of a sudden, they'll say, for those legacy apps,

and you don't even have to, yeah, that's a good point about the legs. Yes. And you don't, in that scenario, you wouldn't even have to import your feed, because they've already got

already got it. They just turn around and say, You know what, instead of uploading, they're just like the cell phone business, you know, we're gonna give you $20 to come over here. Yeah, come over here for 20 Here's, here's a bonus for $20. And you all you have to do is instead of going over there, just upload your stuff here. And now we have RSS feeds for you.

If a if, if anchored can run 5 million podcast RSS feeds at a loss and still survive for years and years who can as well YouTube can do it in their in their sleep, and

YouTube would have no problem down the line saying hey, you got to pay $1 A month or whatever, it's just isn't such an obvious trap. And if one big podcast host goes for it, everybody's gonna have to go for it. Because that's, that's the nature of the business, your, your, your coopetition. Anyway, so I, I

you're convincing the you you wave a wave of convincing.

Now and meanwhile, this is happening at a very exciting moment in podcasting, where we now have figured out
¶ Re-creating the music industry
how to create recreate a music industry without the legacy of performing rights organizations record labels, without Spotify. In fact, we are proving that people who use our system with a very small audience right now, which is what do we have? We're Spurlock what is podcasting? 2.0 What is our suppose it audience you have the numbers in front of you? What

you mean? Like our like?

Was it 8000? Maybe tops?

I can look it up?

Look it up. If it's even that a very small audience, then we own we own the wave Lake top five.

Wait, are you going to play music? Yes, I am, of course. Because I would like to like to since?

Yes, it's called the setup.

I felt it. And I'm also neat, but I need to take time, I need to take this opportunity to launch my web socket listener? Because I want to watch

Ah, yes, of course. You want to switch the web? Man, you set up your own web socket listener, God knows why. But you set one up, what do you do with this web socket listener?

Well, I want to I want to watch what Steven bass sending in. In the live.

Well, can you? Well, well, can you do both at the same time? Can you? Can you take a look at the at our audience size first?

First, yes, again, let me find let me find that live because we

are I mean, people are getting 100 $200 here again, for just being played on this show. Now granted, we have a community who's interested in this and they're supporting the whole set. By the way, as I'm leading up to this, please make sure that you using curio caster, or pod friend currently the only two the apps that support this, who also benefit from these tests. I mean, I see some nice, nice baller boosts going to these artists to these musicians, which is again part
of value for value. It really does work. And it far surpasses anything these artists as musicians, these creatives creators have ever gotten from Spotify. Or they get stats, they get some stats, you know, they don't even hit the payout level. By the way, I was used I tried boosting on pod friend and I don't think it went through to the artist. I don't know if that was I don't know if that was something's broken or not, but
I'm just going to presume that it's working. So you will want to either re listen to this episode or you want to listen to this part of this episode. I To support the test because the test what this test is resulting in is I'm, I now have 10 emails a day of people saying, Hey, I heard from this guy. Hey, yeah, hey look, listen, I heard from this guy over there and I'm that guy that you know if you play my song that it pays off that people have supported and I'm getting friends friends of
friends. I got a recommendation today which I'm going to play from Steven B. Which we listened to Yeah. Oh you're gonna love it which started out on on MSP self hosted I believe it's now also been added to wave lake which I love you know, because wave Lake dystopia the two that do it for sure. Now, you can also data directly to the index with a with a medium equals music tag, if you know what you're doing, but I would say music side project.com is a good place to start for that to get it all set
up. And then you can get your value block through podcaster wallet.com or through fountain now we need more more people to jump in and and create these systems from from musicians, then I'm not sure what wave Lake is doing. I don't see a lot of development there. We certainly don't have any music specific players. But I'm okay with that because I'm bringing back Music Radio. That's my plan. Now I want to hit 9421

unique listeners in May.

So that results in a couple 100 bucks for a song played once. Which is more than you know than a song screaming 1000s of times on Spotify. Straight up It's just math.

It's good man. It's good man. It's good math

is your WebSocket listener up and running Are you are you good there it is I'm

listening you'll be amazed at how many things I'm

doing it once.

Well same here because I had to activate the remote value block doing that in sovereign feeds definitely the way to go. If you're running with scissors now this is a little different for those quote unquote independent songs has a very nice Motown kind of vibe to it. A nice one to chill out on your Friday afternoon and your board meeting with a late night special it sounds like a bummer but it's not the sunshine never comes a podcasting 2.0
never got the sunshine the sunshine until it's rain and life is called sing these words put them in your pocket and show them what you need to know the sunshine the sunshine the sunshine make your soul Chase another dream that you can let go in life moves on when you feed us so we got the sunshine the sunshine the sunshine train know

oh man I'm so mellow, kind of almost started coding here.

Well, I have a have a far end of show, we'll do a song as well. Very like a blink 182 type vibe. Oh, cool. Yeah, just really rocket into the weekend. And of course, once again, I I request from all developers, they consider putting in the remote value block item tag thingamabob, what's it called? The time split. split time value.

Yeah, they time split value time.

So I please, Oscar said he's putting it into fountain within the month of June. And the minute he does, we're gonna have money to talk about that and other things. And I just, I just love this. I love this. I love this. I love this. This is going to create a whole new industry.

So are you hitting the I'm watching the socket here. Are you hitting the Z some sort of like saying, are you having to sync it or tell it when the song is over? Yes. Like you have to do something manually.

Yes, yeah. So the process here, there's a whole dashboard, undervaluing time splits on sovereign feed sovereign feeds.com. And so when you when I start the show, I hit the general Synchronize button with the show, you don't have to but it just makes it easier than post production. And then the minute I start the song, I hit the sync button. So I've already
loaded up the two songs I'm playing for today. Cuz you and you and you actually load them up in sovereign feeds, because you can see all the albums that are available all the artists and you and you searching select, and you say, Okay, this is the song I want pops into your little playlist there. And then the minute you hit your play button, you sync it up so that in post production, you can easily find where the song
starts. It's, you know, only be a couple seconds off. And, and then when the song ends, I hit the big red button that says Activate podcasters value block. And that's and that's which is the wallet back and and the artwork back, I believe. Okay, okay. It's really it's, it's quite simple to comprehend and quite easy to use. And then when I go to post production, I can literally copy over the value block. I mean, the whole thing
works. Sovereign feeds.com Is my Swiss Army knife of feed creation telling you right now,

well, this kind of heads us in the direction of talking about goods because remote value in a value time split a relies on remote item which references a good as its primary way of finding a podcast, right. And had an grippit. at a at a good conversation with with brown of
¶ GUID's
London the other day, he called. And we just talked through goods and everything. And he was like, you know, look, I think I want to make a service that you can run yourself, like anybody can run it as a part of helping to D decentralize the media services away from podcast index. So we don't have to host the whole world. And here's like this, yes, this, this resolution piece feels like a good way to do that, like this feels. When you talk about resolving things, it's good. That's a good
decentralization methods are like DNS. So and he described it to me, he's like, you know, I think I can just sit down the weekly database from podcast index, and loaded up in this in this Docker container app. And then you we can just have multiple resolvers anybody with you can run it for five bucks on a Linode. And

just something that everybody can everyone, but everybody can run one. And then we'll have some kind of round robin system that you ping a central, a central resource and send you to the one anyone the next one on the list.

Yeah, so that that was that was kind of like, phase, sort of phase two of what I was thinking like, you know, get get these things rolling. And then anybody who wanted to participate, we could throw in just a, you know, a round robin DNS resolver, that gives you a random one, you know, on the back end, right. So so that your you know, it's it's load balancing itself, their DNS, just a simple share method.
Sure. And I mean, I think that's a nice idea. Don't there's one thing, but one thing we got to talk through is the how to resolve those couple things. If so, we have we have two general issues. One is good resume good conflicts. And this fits into the larger idea of just duplicates in general. So we know that the idea of a podcast guid is sound, right? The is a decentralized idea that the podcast declares its it within
itself. And we decided early on, that's not a problem. Because when the in the case where a another feed claims to have the same good as a different feed, then you you will now you're it's not a problem, because now you're letting the world know. You're letting the world know that I've done something wrong with my feed. Right. So the world can tell you back hey, go fix your feed.

Yeah, which is exactly I had this exact problem I had because of a sovereign feeds issue. I had a duplicate guid and Spurlock said, Hey, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. And that's how it's supposed to work.

And we we except this sort of thing. In lots of, of areas of networking technology, for instance, Oh, yeah.

IP addresses. Yeah. And MAC address clashes, all kinds of

stuff clashes. Yes, addressing clashes are common. And when you and the way that you resolve them is you get notified of them and you go fix it. Right. So this is not an issue. But the the, that is not an issue, the issue is how do we resolve them? And I think this fits into the broader discussion of I need to give, I need to provide tools to you primarily, but then other people within the podcasting 2.0. Project, to help

adjust and fix these things to cure these issues. Yes,

yes. So here's my initial niche, throw this out at you first mind sort of initial thoughts.

This is a point of personal privilege for the board. Yes, yes.

I would live Yes, comrade, I would like to have

the privilege granted comrade.

Okay. My initial thought was, you need as the
¶ Utility
main, you know, help desk for podcasts index, you need a dashboard. Yeah. To log into that you can just go and do a couple of quick utility functions, reset the feed, which clears it and pulls a fresh one. Yep. Or kills it to get all together, like just those two tools alone, I think would solve 90% of your issues,

right? Maybe even 95? Yeah, it's always like, hey, you know, I did this, but it doesn't show up. So complete refresh would be great. And get me out of your database, or the I have 15 versions of my feed. Yeah, all of this is really those two functions. Exactly.

Okay, so the first two things, the reset the feed from scratch, and end market as dead. Those two functions are simple. The third one of those, and though and those are ones that you get? The the third one seems like the bigger issue. And
here's what I thought on that. There needs to generally be a way that we can say, okay, these, these designated individuals get access to some sort of dashboard, where were you, on request are given a batch of duplicate fields, then you can go through and result like you can mark Okay, this one is a duplicate of this, like, you can do that you can fix it, you can fix up the issue. And let me know, I don't know what necessarily the UI looks like that.

But this is a D duping task. Is that what this is? Uh, you can you can say, hey, I have an hour, give me some dupes. And I'll run through them and see what the problem is. Yes, it's called human intelligence.

Exactly. And we know that. Well, we'll see there's a better word for that unanimously. So we know that there are only about 50,000 dupes in the database total. We had somebody run those numbers. And so if we had, you know, an army of people watching the gates so to speak, they could clean that up in no time.

Yeah, no kidding. I mean, I got time. I Should I agree when asked Tina here? Do you do please? Do some homework? Yeah, she'll do it. She'll do it. A lot of people will do that everyone will love participating in that. Absolutely.

And so I thought if we had if we had it laid out on nice and clean where you had, okay, here are what we think are. Here's a podcast where we think there are the two extra duplicates. This one has an app, an iTunes ID, this one does not. Here's what here's what Apple reports back as the feet what the feed URL is, here's what the latest pod pain was, basically just give a whole bunch of information so that somebody can
make an intelligent decision. And then let them go in and say, Okay, this is the right one, these other two are duplicates, right? Which is Mark just a couple of checkboxes done and

what what is the what is the reason that this cannot be automated? Why is it that a human needs to do this?

Because there's a lot of edge cases that happen? Okay, what what, for instance, let me give you one, there's a many times you'll see a podcast, where the podcast where they are, they have moved their feed from, let's just say, a cast over to Buzzsprout. And they net, they did not go back and update their their Apple podcast connect feed to point to the new URL, so it's still pointing to the old one. So the incorrect one now has an iTunes ID associated with it. The correct
one does not. And we can't change the old one, because we have to stay in sync. For it for feeds that have iTunes ID, we need to stay in sync with what Apple says. Because we have people like Marco that depend on that. If we start telling, and we don't know, I mean, we don't know which one is the new one, because they had, they didn't, they did not change it, they didn't set a redirect, they've just messed, they've essentially
just messed their feet up. And some a human has to go in there and work through that and say, Okay, this is what's going on. And so there's there's just issues like that. Sometimes it's a categories issue like WordPress, we don't there, there might be

how about this? I've thought? So, um, clearly there's a whole bunch of of edge cases, is it possible to hand off this, this process to people using apps. And so here's my thinking, because someone just said something in the chat room, which I liked. Meet us. So if you had it, if you hand it off to users of apps, and you say, for every Correct. D duping that
you do, we'll give you 100 Satoshis. Now, when they do this, they it doesn't necessarily delete anything or change anything database right away, but it creates a list that can then be looked at by someone who has the power and says, okay, good, good, good, good, good, good, good. Or is that complicating things too much?

That's not no, that's not that's not complicating things too much. I think we would still have to have some sort of approval process that would lead,

right. But the approval process would be, you know, a trusted person. But you basically say, hey, help help the index. And because people find this stuff all the time, you can actually say, hey, use this app, and we'll give you a reward. Is that a crazy thought?

No, not a crazy thought. I'm just thinking through the you really need two layers of sort of validation on that you would want? Yeah, of course, you'd want the people, you'd want a small group of people that could approve a change, correct. And then you would want a slightly larger group of people that were still had to go still had to be given the the approval or the rights to get into this ability to,

okay, maybe gamifying it too early, maybe it's not not something that should be gamified. Well,

but the reason being is that you you're just gonna get me the potential, there's just you get blown up, okay. I mean, with 10,000 requests a day, I mean, like, it's just you, somebody's gonna write a bot on it, and you're just gonna get screwed.

Gotcha, gotcha. Okay. Well, we could, I'm just saying that. I'm sure that there's a group of five people I can think of right now who would be happy to do this work. Maybe we can have trusted people who use their apps to do this. I'm just thinking ahead. But I understand what you're saying. And yeah, what do we do? What do we need to get this done?

Yes, I think I think bottom line is we, we have a strategy now for the good stuff with what Brian has, has made. I think it fits with what I had originally developed, I think those fit together pretty nicely. So then, now really, it's all about just making sure the data is clean. I think that's, that's our biggest thing right now. Because the goods will now goods will work now, as long as we have clean data,
where we don't have these dupes. So I think that's really, I think that's kind of an important next step I need to take because you need these. Hell, I need these things. I need a dashboard to fix this stuff. I'm manually changing things in the database. This is not fun.

I saw when I was watching your screencast, your your dude named Ben cast. I saw those little PHP scripts you had on the left hand side of my Oh, look at all that cool stuff. You can run a PHP script does that it does that you had all these cool little things that that you could do you have some tools, but I'm like, just give me some give me tools. Let me play with the tools. Man.

I don't want to have to SSH into a server in order to run a script called no clean these duplicates dot php.

Exactly. Okay. I think that's I think that's a great idea.

way forward. Yeah. And I don't think this is hard to write because it doesn't have to be beautiful. It just has to be functional.

I know I'm, I'm all in you tell me. I mean, I would I've of course I'm I know you well enough. I know what you're doing. You're busy. I'm not going to keep saying hey, man, give me some tools. Give me some tools. It bothers me

too. Because people want to help people are asking to help you and I and I go, like I don't have anything to give them. And so I want I need to be able to give them something.

Well, why don't you just wipe your slate clean

and clean? It dun dun we

love it. We love it. I wanted to just make note for
¶ Alby down 😔
everybody that we did have a situation, which luckily, of course, was not a big problem. But Alby went down for a little bit there the other day. And, you know, you see the result of a centralized system. There are other fallbacks possible. There are other, you know, other lightning service providers out there. Just want to remind everybody, you got to be careful. I guess that's all I wanted to say. I love Alby. I
love what get alby.com I love what they're doing. But, you know, this, what are you laughing at?

Sorry, it's just Steven some Steven bass in the chat.

I see what you're saying. Boy, man, do you talk to your wife that way? Steven B.

Do you kiss your mama with that mouth?

Let's just make sure we're all smart about these things. You know, especially for podcasters. You know, there's still things you may want to consider to have alternate by the way. I'm also running my Of course I am because I have helipad. I'm running my lightning node. On the Start OS. It's stable, man. It's stable. I mean, you know, I have to nurse my Umbral all the time. And this thing is just I've set it up and it's just run since the day I set it up and has not been a problem.

Is it using l&d? Yeah, you can

use multiple ones? I'm using lnd lnd. It has. It has multiple lightning implementations you can use.

Have you ever used see lightning? No. No, I'm kind of itching to try it. No, no. Do you?

First you need to build.

podcasting 2.0 badge. Oh, I like that. Yeah, that has warded when a podcaster uses five 2.0 features, which is kind of what I thought the podcast Standards Project will be doing. You know, I liked it. The Todd has taken the lead on this. This is good. This is good thing to do. It's a cool logo. That guy's a cool badge.

I'm a sucker for badges.

I love badges. Badges are very cool. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely want

just one other thing before we do the hot namespace
¶ Fountain transcripts. 📝
talk. I learned a lot about the fountain transcripts. So indeed, once one person has created a transcript, no one else has to pay for it. It's just available. And I saw requests come through that said hey, once a transcripts created, it'd be great if the podcast could down. I think chemistry bloggers had this. The podcast, you can download an SRT file, put it into their feed and then use it for other apps. I was like, wow. And I asked I was like, Yeah, that's a great idea. Let's do
that. stat. Cool. That's some collaboration right there. That was very beautiful, beautiful to see that happening. And then of course, I realized, found transcripts are very, very fast. What they aren't doing is they aren't doing speakers, you know who the who the speaker is. So I don't know if that adds a lot of that adds a lot of processing time to creating the transcript. But that would be a prerequisite. I mean, I would look I pay $20 a month to otter. If I can get my transcripts from
fountain I'll pay fountain 20 bucks. But I do I do need speaker names. Tom just saying you know, there's a lot of opportunity here.

Opportunity you need. You need speaker names because that like for we

need it for Mark. We just need it for Mark. Let's be honest, the cartoon bubbles are cool was crap.

I love that because that thing's beautiful. When you see it, you don't ever want to not have no you actually

And now it's time for some hot namespace talk.
¶ Hot sexy namespace talk 🔥

We are Yeah,

yeah, we closed face six. So that one's No more No more tag proposals. Submitting is allowed. We've got let's see here. It looks like we've got six tags is that right? 1234567 tags remote item. So this basically this is frozen now where we made ditch some tags but we're not going to add the

space six ice you can't change no melting it's iced.

Yep. It's on ISIS. So remote. We got remote item, which is straight straightforward. It's already written out. We got list the list mediums that's easy. That's just an add just an addendum. The the accepts guest I've got a question mark on that. Pod roll. That's already written up. That's that's good to go. update frequency. Nathan gathright did a PR for that, that I've got to merge. But that one's I've just got to review it. I'm sure I mean, he's he's top notch. So
I'm sure that one's fine. Nice. Pod pink tag is something that that Alex and Brian and anybody who uses pod ping needs it because it's got it's got metadata in there for how the feed interacts with POD ping. And then the value time split.

Nice. That's a good phase,

as a good batch. And so I think accepts guests is the only one I've gotten concerns about, I think we may think we may need to need a booth there. Because I still don't know that that has to be its own tag. To me that it. It's just a it's like a gimme.

It's like a gimme that people want I mean, no, it's like it's for people who don't have I mean, I get email. It's just, Oh, you want less email? Okay, well, why don't you just, you know, what we need is we need the list of all these people, all these PR people who email podcasters and then put them in your spam list. Yeah, write a rule. I mean, I don't mind that, you know, people ask me all the time, oh, I got this great person for this guest. Now, of course, I don't take
guests on, on on no agenda or any of my other shows. But it doesn't bother me that much.

And I guess my difficulty with this specific tag is that it's a lot of tag for only one small purpose. And I understand that you have that there's other tags that fit into the same category. So let's just say how about

this? I have an idea. Alright. Can we just have some kind of API endpoint that looks and it sees if there's a guest in the person tag, that that spits out a list of here's everything and then people can use that list and spam them. It's,

it's a spam list.

That's what it's gonna get used for. I mean, you know, it's like,

no, no, that's a pretty good idea, by the way.

Yeah, just a thought. Make that make that available to PR people.

use AI he's Chad. Yeah. Yeah,

there it is Chad gptc Every everything we don't want to do we just you can use chat GPG for that.

Can Can I I mean can I just say that at this if if if large language models are this good? Why do we still have transcripts that are inaccurate?

Why do I still have spam? Exactly why do fools fall in love honest about GPC you should be able to fix that they should know this. Sorry, this lady is not compatible with you.

There. I mean, the one thing that is that is in the large language model wheelhouse is Grammatik and link grammatical and linguistic structure is I know what words make sense coming before and after this word, or before and after this phrase. I should never have a bad transcript ever again.

No, of course. Of course not. And obviously we do.

So something's gotta give anyway. I agree with you. I agree. Somebody's lying.

Something's up.

I don't know. I think we should I think we should just boot accepts guests for now. Okay, I don't think anybody's feelings are gonna be hurt by this. I mean, like James proposed it, but I don't I don't get the sense that he's like, it's a he'll he's gonna die.

Pod roll is in there. No. It is. Yeah. Isn't the pod roll is good.

James, if you're highly offended by booting accepts, yes, please tell me. I mean, here's ultimately what I feel like these, these are flags. And I keep coming back to the idea that we just need sort of, like, let's just call it podcast, colon flags. And it's a list of or just or, or just called podcast, colon flag. And it's except guests. You know, trial, trial feed, blah, blah, blah, like, just a bunch of like one, prop just a bunch of properties, or even just put it
in the TXT record. Let's just put it in the TAs.

All right, I'm gonna I'm going to ease the pain. Reading. Alright, is it? What phase was alternate enclosure in? That's like three or four? Three? Yeah, I have a request for Steven B, who is the the Wizard of sovereign feeds.com. My request for Steven B is I would like to have an altered enclosure, spit out in my feed that I can put an IPFS link in. Because once I create the IPFS link, maybe I can convince an
app or to to which obviously will be curio caster. To accept that because I'm running a node, I'd like to get that crankin I'd like to use it. I'd like to see if IPFS actually scales with podcasts. And that would be my request.

You are publishing a feed on IPFS right now? Yes, I am. Which ones the no agenda are

all of my feeds all of my feeds. Okay. And I and I will use it for all of them. And there's people you I can see in the well hold on a second.

If I look at Cameron's code, right,

yes. IPFS let me just check for a second IPFS podcasting dotnet let me just log is such a such a elegant system he's created here. I'm also you know, I'm pinning them all so I'm hosting them all forever, all all previous episodes, etc. Anything that's in the feed all a second just needs to log in. And I have two nodes running. Just take

notes. Yeah, yeah. One's running on the Start nine and Where's the other one running?

On the Umbro? Yeah. Okay, so let me see for podcasting. 2.0 Let me see, because I can tell there's a little lag obviously, Episode 134 had two downloads 133 had five 132 had 38 Toilet scroller 131 had 29 so it's in the 20s and 30s after a while. Let's see no agenda has that we have an ad downloads here 2937 62 So it varies. And you can and there's at least seven nodes hosting it. So you know, it's like there's something there it's it's in its infancy,
but I kind of believe in it. I believe in this stuff.

Okay, yeah, well, I

mean like, so that was my my requests even my request to see even be like he doesn't have enough an

alternate enclosure. You wanna you? Want to nappy? IPSs alternate enclosure tag?

Yeah. I mean, yes, yes, that's what I want and IPFS alternate enclosure tag, and that will make James happy. Because he wants people using alternate enclosure. He wants to he wants to push the alternate enclosure. Now he uses it in a different way he's thinking of lower bandwidth, which is fine lower bandwidth versions. But you know, I think

that when you can have IPFS and has more bandwidth Yeah, exactly.

Let's use it for more bandwidth. Screw you Africa Shall we thanks for people hear Dave. Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah, let's take some people because man we we have quite a few booths that have been coming through let's see right off the

and he says I hear your pain on duplicate guid trying to fix the RSS V for V issues asking do I need custom key custom value and address and he plans to add lightning address to the value tag.

Lightning address lightning address. I think we already I thought we already added that to the spec. I think so. But we but you have to resolve it on the client, right? You can't you can't just send it over to the node. So you have
you know you need to D if you so the lightning address. And um, this is maybe poorly documented and I need to write this down to make sure that everybody knows how this works because though there's a there's a dot well known URL that you can use to resolve the lightning address into a key send with custom key and custom value. Let me make a note of that too.

In sovereign feeds, you go in and it literally says up add a split it says use fountain use get Alby and you click on it so yeah, so I would type in SAM at get albie.com and book it just resolves it right into the block.

Yeah, you have just cool. The lightning address in the context of a value block. You resolve that with its like dot well known slash row name slash key sand I think and it will give you package json block with the custom key custom value. I'll post it on the mastodon Sam,

Never pressure. Jo W. Satchel Richard 1111 No note. Anonymous 20 to 22 no note. We got Clark in a friend of mine 25 529 It says adding another five to nine to my usual 25k For my Memorial Day boost while at the lake Beep bop boo boo bop boost sir Spencer 22 to 22 Row ducks through fountain he says would love to help with the V for V panel in Nashville. Oh sir Spencer. Definitely putting together a V for free presentation for our own Bitcoin block party here in KC next
month. I can speak to the podcasting aspect. Live item tag and the music aspect. Plus, I can drive out so you don't need to burn a plane ticket. Wow, that sounds

I don't even have to go at all. Just let's hear Spencer do it. Right. Yeah. You get that handled Spencer. Thanks, bro. Yeah, we're gonna get as many people I'm gonna have a big stage, we need the main stage. The big stage, we need a lot of time, a lot of mics.

Spencer, I'm disappointed that wavelike operates as a walled garden to see the spirit of decentralized music is anyone can publish a feed and have their content available on the various apps in the ecosystem. When able Kirby and I really stay while on Christmas Eve 2020. It was with splits and lyrics supported with Wave lake. There are no splits, no support for lyrics. And if we wanted our music available there would we there we would have to re upload it to their servers
and make a duplicate feed. Open hosting is the way

that's a good point. I have a my own minor nitpick with with wavelike. You can't boost more than 999 sets to match. Yeah. If you want to boost from their interface I put near some saxenda in the wall from their UI. Yeah, it's 999 I was like there's nothing.

I wonder one. Well, I think I mean, I think they're just I think this address addresses sir Spencer's thing. You know, I've talked to Michael and Samak. I think they're just moving slowly. And they're trying to, I mean, it's just the two of those guys. And they're trying to build something. Right. I don't. I don't think there's anything

nefarious, it's hard. It's hard. It's hard to building a service like this. It's hard to setting stuff up. I completely agree.

No, I understand Spencer. I mean, I understand what you're saying. I fully do. I think that they're trying to make they're just trying to make sense of this thing. Because we hit them. This was not their intention. We hit them right

away right in the in the forehead like oh, yeah, well, what's happening and now we're dominating their chart.

Yes. I think this all works itself out as as their you know, stuff matures. Yeah.

But yeah, but you know, I love that we have music side project.com which helps you self hosted which I think for music is completely appropriate. Yeah, for sure. And you know, that's another thing that I would love to see on on Start OS

Ella Spencer's talking a lot about about music podcasting in the in the chat and I just love the one thing I love about what Spencer's has done since day one is just a demonstrate he's just been a demonstration of how you can just do this on your own you don't have to have if you have some knowledge and you have the Will you can just run all of your own stuff you don't have to have a host if you don't want to me most people are gonna have to go the hosting route but at its
most base level RSS podcasting doesn't need you can do it yourself. Yes and to text file and audio and if
