Last Notes npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1pa0…pfyr @npub1ln5…xyw6 if the feed URL on the Index changes. What does that mean for me/for the subscribers to the old feed? Loss of listenership or no npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1pa0…pfyr @npub1ln5…xyw6 I mean when I set that up that was a quick and actually easy and affordable option for setting up a little experiment. I didn't expect to actually want to keep doing a radio show. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V I asked this before but this time i am more serious. What were the steps form moving away from a show just hosted on DigitalOcean? Since I don't think you can just redirect that https://fairly-fun.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/The_Fairly_Fun_Show/feed.xml npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V So which browser are you supposed to use with splitkit? On firefox i just see a register page where nothing happens. and Google Chrome just shows a white page entirely. splitkit makes me angry and i feel bad about that. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a @npub1pa0…pfyr alby almost is npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1h4n…fruy why Nix? npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V I like that the fountain transcript thing transcribed the show title as "Barely Fun Show" which is probably fair. At least for episode 6 npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V Actual question or suggestion maybe Is there a way you can add chapter art to a specific point in time in the episode, without having it show up as a chapter itself in like a menu. Can this be done in the current format? I think you should be able to do this. Maybe even with then letting a viewer click off of that specific image, to return back to the actual chapter art. That way you can just show something that doesn't need to be it's own chapter. Or use a boost to chapters thing unannoyingly npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub19fy…n5nv @npub1drg…7yxw @npub1pfz…tp3u yea currently it to me seems like the EU model is not as good as it could be. When it's divides countries arguing about who will take in refugees or whatever thing is happening that affects the entire European area. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1drg…7yxw @npub1pfz…tp3u @npub19fy…n5nv no we cant handle 10 million new people of either legal or illegal variety suddenly being here obviously. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub19fy…n5nv @npub1pfz…tp3u reading this after I wrote my explanation of how. Germany can not take up debt, the statutory health system makes a profit most years, and how the US has way way higher debt while providing a lot less stuff to the citizens.... Is really funny. I mean yea maybe if they go from 60%gdp in debt to 100%gdp in debt within a year yea then I will think that. But you cant really change the basic law. It's very very very unlikely. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1drg…7yxw @npub1pfz…tp3u @npub19fy…n5nv yea nothing is free. But if you look at the numbers for statutory healthcare in Germany you see in most years it actually makes 1 to 4 billion € profit. Except for yes 2021 where it lost almost 7 billion. The Eurosystem releases about 6% of new bills every year on average. Sometimes they make more sometimes they destroy old ones. But if you look at government debt, Germany has only 59% worth of the gdp as debt. USA has 123% of gdp as debt. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1a73…7y6q well yea mtv probably was popular here too. but its gonna have german hosts on it wouldnt it npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1a73…7y6q i guess people may know him in the US then? Certainly I wouldn't expect many Germans to recognise the name. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1a73…7y6q lol. does he count as a celebrity? i never heard of him before until... probably like on Buzzcast they mentioned the podcast namespace when it started. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub19fy…n5nv @npub1kt3…pgcv Idunno. Just seems like a capitalism thing. Why not make money off women who want to be single but have a child or lesbians I guess. Unvaxxed sperm is as bullshit of a term as no horrible man needed. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub19fy…n5nv @npub1pfz…tp3u I mean yeah we have illegal people living here too. But I don't think that is super big of a problem. I have talked to a few other American people before and most of them seem to only have limited sick days and health insurance from their employer. Which leads me to think that if you get cancer and are out for months, you may lose your income and healthcare. But you still need to pay your mortgage and student loans and stuff. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub19fy…n5nv @npub1pfz…tp3u Germany has both though. Some overregulated things but then also massive underregulated things in other areas. But in general a lot of bureaucracy yes. That is getting better though. Just very slowly. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub19fy…n5nv @npub1pfz…tp3u also saying Europe is not a world power anymore seems like a bit of a stretch. As does Europe being out of money. And then also being able to have a good life matters more than being a world power. The pandemic and now that thst is over the war are not helping though. Although on a base level I kind of agree a bit. Which is why I thi k we should look at a European federation. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub19fy…n5nv @npub1pfz…tp3u lol state sponsored healthcare gets you the high cost? Idunno. It's like 7% for the healthcare tax and that includes everything. Except yea like I guess the 10€ you have to pay yourself each time you get new pack of medication. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub19fy…n5nv @npub1pfz…tp3u ok and how has not losing your life-savings in months because you got cancer destroyed Europe then? npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub19fy…n5nv @npub1pfz…tp3u what socialism though? npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1dwu…hc2f I mean, not really though. Because real bitcoin is only what happens on the blockchain. Lightning transactions do not happen on the chain until a channel is closed. So for as long as the channel is not closed, those transactions are not "real". but thats not a good argument. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1j94…mea9 yea but what if its 2 hours long and just a single song is played npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V I don't know where this would be, but if you listen to a podcast with music, is there currently a way for chapters or time splits to tell the app to set the speed to 1x ? If that does not exist yet, that seems like fairly important. Because I do listen at 1.75 most of the time. Except when they start playing a song. Because that sounds silly. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a idunno. i am starting to get annoyed with Umbrel. at least a bit. because now, the machine itself was running completely fine. but anything relating to umbrel was not running when i tried looking at my node, or ipfs podcasting. or anything. I am gonna see if i can fix that but idunno. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a it is very likely that I will just give up, backup the unbrel folder and just install Leap on it. I haven't used Ubuntu a lot in a while and never before pure debian. Only suse things. And Debian is less fun to me than I thought it would be to try out. If it also crashes on this different system. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a it's a second generation core i5 chip with 14 gigs of ram. Running Debian 12 on a sata ssd. Very snappy actually. Would be usable for random every day tasks. And while running it seems to do a good job. Snappy. Although literally right now in in the process of trying to boot it on my old fx8350 cpu with 32 gigs of ram. Overkill but idunno. More horsepower is good. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a I believe that. But I am having unrelated issues I believe. That machine just locks up after about 20 hours I believe. It just stops. Not responding to ssh, pings, keyboard or mouse input directly either. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a I have umbrel set up and running. It has helipad on it already. That's what you opened the channel to. I just don't trust that system itself yet. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a oh. Nice. Does helipad also show the full amount that was boosted then? Do i have to use my own node on umbrel to work for helipad or can I use any other thing? That's a good reason to get the stability of that machine figured out and have my node running all the time. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a how did you do this btw? Just manually or is there a tool for this. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a hopefully this makes some music company executive cry npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1ln5…xyw6 I mean sure, i agree I guess but "stable, predictable way" is so boring isn't it.😜 npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V So how do we actually prove that a song is original? If I just take something i got from Spotify and put it on the podcastindex as a song, bad things will happen. Same with cover music. wont it? npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1ln5…xyw6 That seems inoptimal. Thinking that if someone got a .cue file to VTS thing going, you can easily play 2 things at once in some DJ software. at least for a few seconds. as a transition. What if the, assuming it is just 2, value splits happened at the same time, and the newer one just got pushed back. So it's block doesnt start for X seconds until its only that song playing. idunno if that is a player thing or a thing for when creating the splits npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V What happens when you play songs and they overlap for a bit? you cant have 2 value splits at the same time, can you? npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a I am already looking into something like a rode caster duo tho. I have been wanting another mic for a long time. I quickly realised this condenser nt USB mic picks up every single thing ever. I don't like it because of that reason. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a yes splitkit is pretty good once you figure it out. But I think one can probably take the cue file that dj software makes and read that, and then automatically create time splits from that. Doesn't actually seem too hard to do. Maybe I could try doing that... maybe. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a and then for the time splits I put the video from obs into kdenlive and looked where I played what song and then typed it into split kit manually. I have some actual dj software set up now for next episode and going forward. So I can play and mix things effectively live. Or even stream it. That also creates a file with what song played when. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a well for the first episode I just used OBS Studio to record a video of nothing and audio of desktop and my mic... and then I literally just had a wavlake firefox window open and vlc with my talkover music folder. Also a pluse audio volume control window because i wanted to turn the songs down... although that reset each time a new song started. That was it. The most rudimentary thing ever. And in terms of equipment I just have a rode nt USB mic. I did everything there with the mouse. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1df6…ns3a @npub1g6p…dgtx Probably uncommon for people my age, but I always liked radio. Not something I can see working at because they all require university degrees in journalism or similar. I don't have that, or think I could even do that. Probably a topic to talk about in the next show. Do you want to send me one of your lightning addresses, so I can add you to the splits for the boosting is loving clip I use in my new intro? Episode 2 is gonna be so much better. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V @npub1ln5…xyw6 6567390 It seems like mostly working now though. name is there, episode, splits, category missing and the description of the episode isnt fully updated yet. but just changed that right now. npub199q7hjnj7xdmmzw29hkkpz675eztjlg6v8h6m7mm6t2tf5mkaa2saxtw99 Silas V So it probably takes a bit longer to get episodes and everything to show up on the index after it has been added.. I am like losing my mind because my negative brain thinks i screwed up.
