Oh, podcasting 2.0 for December 9 2022 Episode 112 Respect the
splits. Board members Hello, assessors. Hello, witnesses up
there in the stand. Welcome to podcasting. 2.0 The official
board meeting of podcasting 2.0 Find out what's going on with
the podcast namespace. Everything at podcast index.org.
And of course, all the shenanigans of podcasts index
dot social. It's on the fediverse I'm Adam curry here in
the heart of Texas Hill Country and an Alabama. Here's the pings
to every woman's You can't lie to me like that. He's the pod to
every woman's paying say hello to my friends come together. And
ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Dave Jones.
Still can't help it. What happened?
I stepped out for one moment and mayhem mayhem mayhem, I tell
you,
the chat room go that goaded me that goaded me into. That was
no. So that you have to understand that arrangement of
my house. Where our podcast from the room that I podcast in is,
is directly across the hall, this little short hallway from
the bathroom where I go to the little podcasters room for the
show. Okay, so I am like, okay, Adams going I'm done with my
tweeting and tooten I'm gonna go over here to the to the to the
bathroom. Oh, in NP before the show.
And you had the door open and the mic on?
Oh, yeah. I mean I didn't know both doors were closed but we
have very thin walls in the nose like I get back I get back and
blueberries like lol in any says the stream is strong with this.
So I'm just like, given every tweet out here less shows love
and then everybody tunes I didn t stream I think we
have just received some audio.
This is a live stream in every sense of the word.
So Oh, goodness. Okay. Early. Yeah,
you get the full string. Well,
for those who are using one of those handy dandy podcasting 2.0
apps with notifications, which is one pod verse, pod verse will
notify you that we're live and you can we do some reliably
informed Good. Well, of course, PR curio caster has all the
features, but doesn't have the alert system at being web based.
And there's another one coming up.
Yeah, fountain city is going to do it.
Oh, I did not yet. I'm sure he wants to do it to know how far
they were those everyone's working on stuff, man. There's a
lot of work to do an app.
You get. You gotta you gotta go heads down and and get some in
start right and write some code. It's not easy. Not easy at
all. And let me tell you, so let me tell you something. So Tina
and Tina switch to fountain. Some time ago. She was number
she was a big pod friend user. She liked pod friend a lot that
she liked the whole experience. So she moved to another she's my
canary in the coalmine. Mine is looking at what what she's
doing. And I think the most recent release came out and I
said, Oh, hey, you know, there's a update, just make sure that
fountain is updated so that you get that and she says, yeah,
they sure needed. That was about time. I'm like what? Oh, hater.
What you know, here's what I've noticed. Typically, I think it's
by default that, you know, that fountain will stream the
podcast. I don't think it downloads at first, I'm not
quite sure what the cache is on that. But for sure, there are
spots in the house where and actually when she's driving,
she's driving from Fredericksburg to Austin,
there's going to be a spot somewhere where you just kind of
lose your your cell phone connection. It's you know, it's
this hill country, Texas. So there's a couple of spots where
it may drop out. Immediately fountain sucks. So
what So is the I heard Marco in a recent podcast saying that if
he could do anything over again, when it comes to writing
overcast, he would eliminate streaming and just do download
only? And 100% agree with that.
I'm 100%
I totally agree with that. I mean, because he like the the
building I work in. Every time I go into the elevators, the
elevator or a stair with the stairway shaft that cinderblock.
I lose, I lose connection. So like I hate it. I mean, it's
like it drives me nuts. The whole promise of podcasting was
that you get the full delivery ahead of time, so that you don't
have to worry about well
let now let's be honest about it, because the only thing that
really changes that is the notification system. So if Marco
decides tomorrow, like, Okay, why don't I just not notify
anybody until it's automatically downloaded onto your device?
Problem solved. I mean that that is the true way to solve it. And
I think that should be an endless that's the, as you write
the original blog post was the original. The original concept
is have it ready for me? When I'm ready. And let it come to
me. There should just be it's very simple, just an old school
toggle mode. It's like, Hey, you want to you want to this old
school and the way it was intended. And they will just
notify the people after it's downloaded. And it's an auto
download situation. That's all I don't think it's a hard thing to
implement.
I don't know why. People, some people seem to be just a real,
real download haters, they just really want they think the whole
thing should be streamed. This
is OCD people. And I will say that Tina is probably one of
those if she knew about it, if you said hey, by the way, all
these episodes that are unlisted, too. They're actually
sitting there on your drive in your memory not being used.
She's Dave, Dave, my wife deletes text messages.
Probably I don't know, she's one of those.
Hey, hey, don't be a hater. There's a lot of she's like
those. It's I think it's a woman thing, too.
It's cross gender. Gender. Like you go, there's so many things,
these are the same. I'm going to predict I don't know this for
sure, I'm going to predict that Tina also flicks her apps to
kill them out of memory. Oh, 100 100%.
But it's not five min. But it's not to get it's not to get them
out of memory. It's just to clean things up. For real, she
also will delete photos off her phone. And yeah, I rarely don't
need this don't need this one. This is why and what she keeps
is very necessary. But you know, know, your customer, people know
your customer here. Yeah, I think there's a lot of a lot of
assumptions being made, which makes an ass out of you and me a
lot of assumptions about how people use this stuff. And as we
know from the data that female listeners women, I think is what
the term is used. A lot of them listen on just a website with a
web player. So know your customers here.
Female listeners also known as well.
You gotta you gotta hate whatever the data was. You want
to have it correct. I don't think it was the same women and
female listeners apparently not the same in the data anymore. So
just saying.
So let me know. Like, I haven't. We haven't even done an episode
in like three weeks. So what how great. I need a girl report.
How's the grill
the grill? The grill is doing fine. So it was kind of severe,
the whole thing was a five and a half hour operation, or
procedure, I should say. was interesting that they use
fentanyl on me which didn't work all that well, because I kept
waking up. And they kept saying and we have enough immunity to
kill an elephant to kiss ChatOps go to sleep.
They didn't use the Mexican fentanyl. They use the mill.
He's the bargain basement. So
are you Irish? I said no, I'm not Irish, red, red hair, red
hair and the family. No, no, yeah. Because you know, gingers
have no souls and no. Others and typically, you know, that's a
that's a genetics that people need two to three times the
amount of sedation. And then we just all chalked it up to my
education in Amsterdam, you know, I might have some high
tolerance for some reason. You're hitching. Brene Brown
bringing the lowlands in general, it feels like I was hit
by a bus and real slow motion. So you know, the impact is
there. I don't really know what's happening. Then three
days later, your whole face swells up. Now it's gone down, I
can actually start to eat some solid food and very small bites.
And now I'm feeling the soreness of where they put these
temporary three millimeter screws to help my bone grow
before they go with a full. That's titanium. It's very cool
technology. Right? Yeah,
that's the same thing that same thing grants gotten his leg got
to touch.
Exactly. And they enter they take some of your Bloods and pig
blood and some other crushed up bones or something from some
witch doctor in New Orleans as a witch's brew. And then they
paste that all over and actually that's a plate on my on my bone.
And then this will grow. That's where the two screws are. Then
the bone will grow around that plate. And then in a couple of
months, they can drill some titanium posts in there and put
my real teeth in. In the meantime, be I spent a lot of
time effort and funds to create a temporary set. That sounds
good.
Oh yeah. You sound zero different. You sound no
different at all. Just like you always did
yesterday, the tarp flipped out at the end of no agenda. I mean,
literally, it landed on the on the podcast decimal point.
And no, no, yes.
I finished it without the tarp and there was a little
difference.
It's like those little chatter teeth, toys for teeth.
But what they are, is they you know, the use of vampire teeth
you buy for Halloween, you slip them over your own, it's exactly
like that. Except they're only slipped over the two canines,
upper and lower because there's nothing more in the middle. I
know less
Billy Bob. You know, the front teeth. Exactly.
Ladies, I know. It's a visual that just gets you all hot and
bothered. I know. But, you know, they're basically 3d printed.
And so I got it. Ah, because it's one piece. I'll have to
ask. I'll have to ask my guy. I should know but it you know,
it's all compute. It doesn't right there in the office. And
so I'm thinking now now that this fits, because you know, get
it it's very precise. I made it fit right away. And of course,
you do have to put a little bit of Geriatric paste on it to keep
it in, which lasts 24 hours, hence the don't go long on the
podcast, they might pop out. In fact, I got about two and a half
hours before I'm do
what you asked me how long we wanted to give. Yes, exactly.
I want to know, do I have to reapply before the show?
We're at the 15 minute mark, I gotta get my colleague or
whatever.
It's exactly what it is. It's, it's so it's so harsh. It is
Polly dent. Literally. I'm thinking maybe I can get an
endorsement deal from him. Anyway, I totally can. Yeah, so
I want to see can I can I get a QR code version with a QR code?
You know, 3d printed? Can I get one with literally would like
some some gold grill? I mean, there's you interchange them,
you know, it's gonna be a couple of months. And they were How
about just real fangs, like, real
code. Imagine this QR code is the missing, you know, like, the
black and the white blobs of the QR code are just missing teeth.
Like, you
know, I was thinking because when you know, these, these
teeth look amazing. People had no idea these were temporaries
like, they're like really, if you look really close, you see
that they're not actually separated. But if you
sent me a picture and they looked really real true. Yeah.
Because a lot of times what you see with do with the like
partials and temporaries and stuff are is that they make they
sit unnaturally some people's lips like kind of pushed by poof
out. But it didn't look like like these look totally normal.
Yeah.
If I should they're well aligned so I can put them together and
that could and then all the whole teeth could have a full QR
code in four quadrants.
With with error correction.
Speaking of as we move into some more important stuff other than
my face, I had the presentation meeting with Ibex today I BX
these are the these are the kids who are doing the Satoshi
receiving Satoshi lightning and sending it to the company in
Fiat for no agenda.
So give me give me the guy is Can you reveal the report with
the minutes public for this?
I actually I tweet Yes, I can. Actually a tweet tweeted, I
tweeted a QR code and and it works right now you can it's
basically an ln URL.
And where did you Where did you turn you turn it on?
I did a I did a Yeah, I did a reboot on podcast index or boost
I should say. So yeah, anyway, it works because people are
sending it to me and you can even have a link that creates a
link or QR code that has a predetermined amount so you know
exactly the kind of stuff hopefully I'm gonna give this to
Devorah because that's the same way he uses PayPal when he does
a link for the newsletter or something like that. And then
people will be able to donate with lightning and for tax
purposes because we know there's issues and reasons while we
don't want to have Bitcoin hitting a no agenda account it
is settled in in Fiat in the currency of your choosing right
into the bank account through what is it the overnight
automatic ACH what does
that yeah the yeah the wire transfer. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, that's what it's called. It's called something else.
What's so what is what is this QR code? What am I what am I
seeing here this Ellen URL but for how what you can use to hit
it with strike and it doesn't do anything?
No, it may not work with strike or cash app. It's uh, you need
you need breeze or What else? Do we have? Blue wallet or wild of
Satoshi? Okay, I'll
let them breathe. And I'll try. Yeah, breeze
will do it. So it's basically just an open send send money.
Yeah. So it's an open donation. And what's cool about it is you
put in, I mean, it's, it's nothing, it's nothing special,
the special part is on the back end that you can determine it
100% Or a sliding scale of how much you want paid out and Fiat.
And that's, that's the thing. That's, that's good here,
because this is what a lot of people want. And it's much
easier for your accounting you have, you have a little
spreadsheet export, which is perfect, just like heli pad. And
it's only 1% fee. I think that they're charging.
Yeah, that totally went through with breeze. 1000 1000 SATs.
Yeah, awesome.
Yeah. So so the next step is to make it case and enabled. So
that's what they're working on now. So then then we can use it
as in the value block and talk about it in the value block on
our agenda. Hello, hello, this is why I'm doing it for
this. So beautiful. I love it.
And the third, which will take a little bit more thought and
discussion. And of course, the elusive Bolt 12 would help but
no will when hell freezes over is some kind of subscription
type mechanism. And with that, I mean recurring payment, not
subscription. And I there's, this has become a thing that is,
is floating around about having recurring payments done by a
service. Right, I'm hearing different versions of it, and I
think is becoming really, really confusing.
So that's, uh, you want to delve into that.
But I'd love to hear your your what you're thinking about it,
because you know what I'm talking about. Right? It's like,
yeah, absolutely. Why do you I mean, I do this. So I mean, I'm
I would be hypocritical if I said that, that, you know,
sending automated payments is, is BS. I mean, like I cron job
payments to, to shows that I listened to. And the odd reason
about the reason I do it,
can I ask you a question before you continue? Yes. Do you use
all of the splits in the value block when you do that? I do
not. Okay, so this is my problem. This is, that's where I
have a problem.
Yeah, I do not, I do not do that I quickly hacked it together.
And it's been on my radar to go back and do it that way to like
to modify it to where I'm doing it the right way. But when there
and the correct way, right way is to do it with a you query the
value block as it currently stands, and then, and then send
just like a normal pay of value for value, lightning payment to
all to all splits all receivers, Bob. And so I hacked this
together because I went through a period. And this happens to me
so often, every so often, where it gets so busy, that I can't, I
just don't have time to listen to two shows. And so I went you
know, three weeks without listening to the intergalactic
boombox. And then I was like, you know, I've got to, I gotta
make, I want to make sure that I'm at least supporting these
shows that I love, because I don't want my lack of luck, what
I want is for when I return to that show, for it to still be
there. And that means you got to support
this is not this is a very good point. And that was the point
that the devil's advocate raised on on the pod news weekly, is
that people definitely want to make sure that you have ongoing
revenue, even if you the listeners tuned out and I think
it's fantastic. I think that's really the only thing I would
want is a it has to be open, voluntary from the sender side
and it has to respect the value block. Otherwise, you know,
that's I mean, that those are the things and that's I think
it's a great idea.
Yeah, that's exactly what it's for on my side. I'm just doing
it the wrong way.
Yes, shame on you.
I know. And I feel ashamed, I feel a bit deep but I
did I had my own discovery because on the Umbral now they
have something called the oak oak node
and I think I may have installed you're gonna saw that
I mean, it's it's really it's very, very cool. And it uses
something called Bikram so instead of using a clock, it
uses the the kind of block clock of Bitcoin, the estimated every
10 minutes being being a block and you can sketch It has little
handy calculator. So you don't have to think how many blocks it
will be to do a daily or a weekly or a monthly recurring
payment. And actually tried it out I sent. I think I sent like,
was it 10,000 or 24,000 SATs so 1000 SATs an hour to James
Cridland, which he never acknowledged by the way. I'm
looking at and I'm looking because yeah, you can schedule
that. And interestingly, one payment failed. I see one
payment failed,
I think, easily a thing that could be done by a fountain or
Alby just hanging out, and I wouldn't be able to know and I
would gladly pay them a 1% fee on top of this to facilitate and
automate
right on, I think that's the way it should be. And then as long
as we're respecting the value block, which would be a guest
retrieved through the GUID or if it's not if it's not in a
podcast app, but if it's in an app already, then you already
know what podcast it is. I would support that, too. I think it's
a great idea. But I just want to make sure that people don't get
ahead of themselves, because it's already go and we're going
to integrate this and that's it but not seven, SM se like it has
to be like you have to sign a document that they can take it
from you. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, there's not
going to work this the wrong way around.
We don't know contracts. That's no, no. So I would say breeze
could do this too. In its future incarnation. I don't think they
could do it now. But like when they on their next generation of
service? They could do this too. I would think absolutely. Yeah.
You know, as you'll have like an always on
now there are people are going to developers have to start
thinking about stuff. Because you know, it's real easy to
drain a wallet if you if you mess something up, you know, so
the UX and, and taking all stupid use cases into account I
think is important.
Sup Yo sup? In the chat room, he says maybe setting a monthly set
donation limit, like a million set. So I don't I just see what
he's saying. And I think that's also another possibility. Of
course, you can say like, there could be like, so we've talked
about just pure V for V at the moment, you send a vault, you
send a manual payment each time. And then we've talked about
like, setting a per minute amount, and then it goes up to a
certain limits and stops. Well, the the the sort of third
variation of that, is that you say, Okay, I want to send, let's
just say 50, set a maximum of 75,000, or 100,000 SATs for this
particular show that you like a lot each month. And at the end
of the month, if it's not, if you haven't sent it all, it just
sends it sends the rest of it. Yeah, that's another that's a
third option.
I mean, it's, it's, it's clearly a podcast app feature, a wallet
feature. It could be it could be a service, which would be some
kind of custodial thing. I mean, there's a lot of different ways
to do it. I really liked the oak node. And I just haven't gotten
around to but I made a note to myself to reach out to the oak
node folks and say, Hey, exact same thing. Only I want to get
it, you know, just hook it up to this API. And I want to be able
to select the podcast, select the do all the rest of the
stuff, and then just in and just let it go from my from my
current wallet or whatever it is.
Good speaker. Speaking of splits for a minute, can we throw I
would like to put in Alex gates for 5% For this episode and
Steven crater for 5% you down with them?
Of course, because
Alex helped me it's so much dig with the pod pain dot cloud
stuff he I want to give him some
documentation again, of course, right? Stephen is
like the he's like the left hemisphere of my brain. Like he
just does things before I even know that I want that I need to
do them. He'll come up and just like eMERGE some pull requests
and like, Oh, crap, thanks.
I didn't do we have lightning addresses for these gents? Yeah,
I'll get them for
you. Okay, yeah. But that's I just didn't want to forget that.
But that's, I think that's I think all of those things are on
the table. All those variations of V for V isn't the V 50. It's
a part of the spirit of values values that it's well it's
voluntary and overspent yes and open Yeah, exactly. So So
monthly if I choose to send you monthly a specific amount Well,
I miss my choice and that's just as fun as doing it any other
way.
You know Roi. Roi of breeze he he tweeted, let me see what he
tweeted here. He tweeted about the millions Yeah, status screen
from from his breeze account. He says hashtag V For V works, I've
boosted over 1 million SATs to podcasts index.org show this
year, which is more than any subscription I have. And it's
true. It's about the it's about the open net. It's like, Ah,
it's the open nature of it. It's the open nature of the you will
have people who give 10,000 times more than then then 90% of
the other. But it starts to equal out stick with it people.
I listed new media show live the other day. Yeah,
I missed them. They were they just gone off air. And I'm like,
oh, man, I missed him. Yeah.
Boosted him because I was like,
finally, finally it
worked. Yeah. It was like, Yay, there's just this this sort of
like sense of euphoria. And I wanted to be part of the show.
Yes, exactly.
That's so true. So true.
But the cloud working good. By the way, the new version rolled
out. Well, yes, sir. That was five in the pipe.
That was actually first on my top of my list is pod pink 2.0.
You've been heads down with Alex Of course. And and Stephen
crater on the on the transcriber. Dude, tell us
what's going on what's happening seems like everything is
working, what has changed? Do we need to know or just it says
what it does was says on the tin.
Some of that, I mean, like some of the stuff at the internals is
interesting. So the, the, it was a long way to go on the back
end, just to get a little bit, just just to get something small
on the front end, like in so like, what we needed was the
ability to send pod ping dot cloud. And let me let me briefly
review me, let me go by please. And pod. So pod paying you, you
send your ELS to it. And then people can watch the pod ping
system and, and see those URLs within a few seconds after you
send that and do whatever they want. Right. And so there's
right now there's one backend writer and that's for the hive
blockchain. So we what we need it that's a complex thing to do,
no matter what Brian says, that is a hard thing to do.
What is yeah,
what is the hard thing to do the high the high, getting set up
with hive, posting keys and setting up the, the script to
the hive writer. And I was like, that's, that's not for the it's
not something that you just jump into without knowing know,
which, which is why we had a basic endpoint, right that
people could hit.
Yeah, so we started, that's what poppin dot cloud was meant to
alleviate all the pain of onboarding. So we do all that on
the back end, as sort of a master host. I mean, you can
either run your own Mastodon or you can fire up a $10 month
master dose. So that's what we're doing, we're doing the pot
where so poppin dot cloud is the front end to the to the
complexity of the back end of what popping really is on the
public on blockchains. And whatever else we do in the
future, which should be a gossip. So I've been other IPFS
things. So that that's what popping cloud is. So a read of
the original incarnation of it was you send, you just send the
feed URL, all you're doing is you're letting the in the world
know
that data, right. And now we have reason codes, I think
origin there's a new format that that comes along with this 2.0.
So we have two extra URL parameters and pod bean dot
cloud. So you sit you still send your URL equals the feed URL.
Now you can also send two extra parameters with that. Reason
equals and then a reason code. And those reason codes are
either live update, or live end. And there will be new ones in
the future. And you all can, you can also send a medium. And the
medium is there's like medium equals all the available mediums
that are listed in the podcast namespace. And then some that
are that are new that are coming that are the L versions of those
mediums, which are lists.
And this is to save people the hassle of looking up what medium
said feed would contain. Well just get it right away.
It's it's more of a dis the medium aspect of this looks,
looks down. Looks down field a little bit. So you're it's more
of a heads up to an app. So imagine in the future,
right? If switch switch, switch to music. We got music incoming.
Yeah, yeah, right, exactly. So that's what I mean. So instead
of them having to determine that they get the information right
away can switch UI.
And they can Yeah, they can. They'll like if this if this app
really only cares about live music. You you want them to be
able to filter that always out right? In only see music streams
that go live. So, so just adding those two URL parameters that
that seems like a small thing, but it ended up being a big a
big lift. No kidding. Because the front end, Alex had to re
engineer the back the back end. And I needed to re engineer the
backside of the front end to speak. Cam proto over these over
the socket.
Okay. And just briefly, because I remember you were very excited
about Captain proto along with your captain crunch in the
morning. So what exactly this is Captain Pro? Let me ask you
this. Has Captain proto lived up to your expectations? Oh,
100% 100%.
What's the one time all right i So it
totally has. You. So you, you're familiar enough with? Like TCP
sockets, right? Yeah. So imagine that you imagine I have Mission
video Computer A and computer B, and open a TCP socket between
the two. Now what you just have it you have you have? You have a
pipe? And you can put anything through that pipe? Yes. There's
no, nothing is gonna keep you from doing from sending anything
and everything over this pipe? Which is chaos. You have to
agree on a protocol. Yes, to some degree. Yeah, you have to
see, see buffer overflows, see how this chaos works. So you,
you have to agree on a protocol on both ends of the pipe, the
protocol, we agreed to, in the first iteration of pod paying
dot cloud, was that all that's going to come through the pipe
is going to be an A null terminated a new line terminated
URL? String. That's it. That's all you get the pet the dog, you
know? Yeah, I'm there. I'm gonna get I'm going to receive it. And
then I'm going to send that over to the back end writer. Well, we
now if you got reasons and mediums and stuff was just, what
are you going to come up with a stupid copy? No, like complex
String, String thing where you have like, comma separated or
something like that? No, that's this, this crazy. So. So Alex
was like, let's let's use Captain proto, which will allow
us to create types, typed messages, strongly typed
messages, that has enums in it, integers, strings, you know,
whatever. And so that's what we did, we created, he created a
schema, using the captain proto message form a strongly typed
message format. So we're gonna now we're passing those back and
forth. And it's beautiful. It's beautiful. It's so efficient. So
crack open a colon. And so we, we, we had this thing working.
But it was, it was slow. Like, it was like, the problem here is
the is the Z MQ, which is the which is the pipe. We're using
the Z MQ socket, doesn't handle multi threading, who will on the
rusts on the rusts. IDE, and I don't know if that's a
limitation of the C library that has this wrapped? I don't know.
But but you get, it's just not where it doesn't work? Well, we
were limited to just a single thread, right? And so what's
going to happen, you know, what you have to do is you have to
send a message, and then you have to wait for a reply. So
something is going to block each time, like you're going to be
waiting to either send or reply, or receive. So there's this this
weird, it was just really slow to finally we were like, we kept
debating this and making little small incremental improvement
improvements. And then also, and then I was like, okay, look,
this is what I'm going to do, every time we send for every
URL, I'm also going to attempt to receive, and I'm going to set
a 500 millisecond timeout on the receive, so it waits for half a
second. And if it doesn't get a reply, it just moves on and
sends the next one. Okay, that started working really well. And
then, and then Alex. And I was like, Okay, this is great. I
mean, we're sending like, This is going really fast. And then
Alex was like, Oh, you don't need these like you 500
milliseconds wait too long. He's like just said for, like, 10
milliseconds. So I dropped the thing down to 10 milliseconds.
Oh my god. It was like, we threw 10,000 phase out and it was one
of these things. It's 30 seconds. It was amazing. And so
So then, of course, then we get addicted to and we start
thinking today Alex is like don't 100 Edit, go, go go and
100,000 feet 100,000 phases. thing and Brian's asleep in
Israel. He wakes up the next morning and his little chart
thing looks like, you know, it looks like a bomber, you know,
attack the city, because he's, you know, he's stats chart. And
he's like, Oh my God, what did y'all do? Like we ran the test
net out of resource credits or whatever that means and all this
kind of stuff. And as I was throwing 200,000 at it, in the
end, he was like, brown welcome was like you, whatever you did
don't ever do that again. Anyway,
what does that actually do on Brian's and what did it did?
What did that do?
It just basically just, like, blew the hive thing up. I mean,
like, it was just like rocking that thing. Like, it's fast, it
was saturated as fast as it would go the blockchain. So
we're basically we could not feed it any faster. So our our
side is as efficient as it can get is what that translates
into. So then you just multiply that times we have five, five,
load balanced wrapping cloud hosts, right, right, you know,
and we can go, we can go 25,000 Feed URLs, you know, a minute.
So these now these the pod Pink Dot cloud hosts, those are just
regular servers that are Pat, they're synced together that are
serving that to each other what exactly is happening on just so
I understand is hive still the backbone of the system?
Yeah, yeah, it is. So we have we have five servers. And we have
and each one of them has their own set of posting keys. So
each, all five of them can post simultaneously. And it just gets
load balanced between every request and
where do they post they post into the into the hive
blockchain.
Yes, around. That's right. Yeah. So but one of the RE
architecture, one of the aspects of this re architecture is we
want to also have, we want to do other backends. So we want to
have, like IPFS gossip sub. And also, I want an object storage
IPFS gossip sub?
Yes. So it's like Pub Sub over IPFS. It's using live lib p2p
protocol. So yes, that thing I showed you I gave you.
It's is that anything like this hole punch, keep business
similar.
I don't know enough about a hole punch to know what that even is
yet.
Me neither. It's like, I set up a room, everyone joined. And
that was the end of the test. And I'm still in there like,
hello, hello. anybody doing anything here?
My buddy Tim. He's really good. He's been sending me stuff about
key in hole punch for a few months. He's really into it. And
that's the first time I've have been in a room. And like seen it
because someone sent sent that to me. And the message was like,
Excuse me. It was like, pull punch. Check it out. This is
what cross app comments. file hosting. Everything will be on
this in the future. Like okay, I'll check that out. Now, I you
know, it's basically a messaging system that ties into lightning
and some DHT, which is distributed hash tables, I think
DHT space.
That's it. That's the thing is I don't it ties into lightning for
micro payments, but it doesn't use lightning for his
communication. No,
no, it's just in there. Just and I was glad.
Yeah, when I, when I first saw it, I was like, oh, no, they're
gonna try to use Lonnie for chat, which is not good. But
yeah, so I mean, we want to have this stuff.
Were you able to play that file I put in there.
Oh, I didn't see a file.
It was a player. It was a no agenda episode.
Oh, I hadn't you haven't? I didn't see it. Oh, it will still
up on my screen on my other computer.
It was probably in there before. Before you logged in, I don't
know. I don't understand. I don't understand why. I like it.
If it's true, but you know, I like IPFS too. There's all kinds
of cool stuff. Alright, so it's open now. So it can be other
back end. Interesting. All
right. Good. Yeah. Yep. So and hopefully and I think that's
necessary. I mean, because yeah, you know, you never want all
your eggs and eggs in one basket and you want to diversify. So
we're gonna, I want I want that object. I want to have it on
object storage every you know, every few seconds to read a new
object storage block. You know,
tell me about the object storage because that's what you want. So
I'm paying extra attention to maybe it's a stocking stuffer or
something and get you for under the tree. Tell me what you want.
Give me an s3 bucket and my stock. Yeah, that's yeah, that's
the basically just just in a bucket. You know, like an a
public bucket goes back like they may have like the last Half
a million blocks of feed URLs day, and somebody can just watch
you know that if it because, you know, I mean none of these,
I still don't I still understand what blocked object storage is.
Well, so I mean object storage is just like s3 bucket s3.
I gotcha, I gotcha.
So we'd have a, we'd have a file that just rotates every, you
know, every few seconds, that has a new that has the new
stuff, and then people could just pull it if they wanted to.
It's funny to think about, you know, there's no need just
thinking about all these different options. It's funny
you say that, because, you know, I've always been like an object
storage guy. I always like the idea of tiny files in folders
that you can, you know, access easily. It's just, it's so easy
to kind of maintain. And I installed something that I
popped up on the Umbral, maybe it always been there. It's
called Trillium, t r i, L I, um, so it's one L, that's critical,
because there's some other things out there with Double L.
And this, what is it, and it's, well, it's a server. So you can
access it through a web browser, but you can synchronize, I think
they have a I know they have a Windows client, I'm using an A
Linux client and some experimental Mac note, no
mobile. And it's, it's kind of like freedom controller for the
rest of my life. And as I delve into it more, I realize it's
actually frontier, in but written in proper database, with
modern with modern languages, because it's outliner based, and
the nodes can have properties. And the nodes can also run
JavaScript. So you can you can run and compile a JavaScript
that does stuff as it makes the application useful. And it has a
database back end. And it actually integrates almost
perfectly with freedom controller. Were it not that the
export of all versions of OPML that they claim is 2.0? It's not
Yeah, you know, it doesn't include include the link
property, it's all and of course, which is like, it's so
close, you're so close to the property of the note, and they
have their own properties to all kinds of source, it's open
source. And, and it's, it's, it's, I got to tell you, man,
this thing has changed the way I organized myself. Because you
know, an hour Lilla you know, don't want L one, l one l look,
it's endless, because I understand outliners. And so it
lets me work, it has all kinds of good shortcuts and tools for
Outliner, which really is creating, you know, having a UI
for creating different types of nodes. So there's a node that
becomes a folder node, that's a link, a node that to to do,
which you know, is taken from, from org mode. You know, it, it
has a beautiful editor in it. This is this is the main thing.
So every node, you can edit the, you know, with a full on wiziwig
markdown, and I just have I've been holding back on this just
to tell you how excited I am about it, because it's kind of
something I think you might like it. I mean, it's, it's it's
really changed the way I organized my life. And Tina has
gone. Who are you?
You remember?
You did this at 7am. You're like you already had all that change
and checked what is going on? Yeah, it's really helping me get
things done.
TriMet says Trillium hierarchical notetaking
application with focus on building large personal
knowledge bases. Yeah, this
guy's got kick ass search, which is, you know, one drawback of
most of these systems can import
OPML. Yep.
Yeah, yes, it will. It will suck. No, it will suck. It will
not import the properties. It'll import basically, the node
structure
will import the links at least No,
no, no. Why would it do that? No. Why would it do that? That
would be completely well, it's probably just a small fix. You
know, it's I'm not quite there yet. But I'm committed to the
system.
And then they're there UK, their Ukraine flag on their GitHub
repos as big as the screenshot of the product. Yeah,
I kind of I just, I just looked past the Yes. I would love to
support the developer. I'm not going to support Ukraine. Okay.
That's not going to support the military industrial complex.
That just check it out.
Something to have a look at. Okay, here's a question. Oh, no,
no. Well, okay.
Yeah, I just I just saw my monitor over. Yeah, I'm good.
So real lot of excitement around. Mastodon, a lot of
exciting development people are discovering activity activity.
Pub Sub hub thing called cross act comments. It's now or never.
And I just want to understand why it seems not to be
happening.
It could be it could be because people do when people go into
this, I think we need to accept this as a possible as a possible
reality here. Now Now, whether or not this thing I'm about to
say is true, does not ultimately decide doesn't bear on whether
or not the social interact tag or the way that we've built it
is needs to exist, because I think it does, regardless. Isn't
it's never a bad idea to have a good protocol for a thing.
Right. But it could be that most people don't want anything
social in their podcast app.
Okay, so here's what I think. I think first of all, there's only
I know maybe there may be some cast apod feeds out there.
There's every single one of my feeds no agenda, and if you want
some traction, please go look at op three and tell me if you
think no agenda has the traction for you to try something. I
always put a route post in there. There's action on the
route post because people respond to that in the no agenda
social Mastodon so it's a not being surfaced. And there's no
one has a log into your Mastodon to join the conversation. And so
therefore, in my mind, that's how we move things forward as if
and this is down to the app developers has to come first in
my mind because I already have that we're creating the content
with enough enough users for it to not be a dead feature. And
then only then will hosting company start to consider adding
that themselves. For the for the larger audience. This is what
we've seen in the past two years. This is how it works. But
for some reason people and I do blame a little bit on Cridland
with pushing the the booster Graham calm comments in, in
Fountain, because fountain is just that's their ecosystem. Now
fountain almost can't do cross app comments. They've kind of
painted themselves into a corner, which I'm not against.
In fact, I like it very much. But But if if no one is going to
pick up the cross app comments and activity pub, I'm going to
go full in on on doing it with lightning whatever fountain is
doing, because my content is not not being surfaced.
Will so who who would do it? Who would like so What app do you
expect? would do cross F comments in
the breeze? Fountain, curio caster cast a PA? Cast thematic.
Okay, and I would hope this would be a great thing for
Pocket Casts.
Yeah, Pocket Cast course. They're going all in on activity
pet pub, so let's please let someone else go first. But I'm
asking our group.
I would think that the tip to me Pocket Casts makes the most
sense for this feature. Man, maybe I'm nuts. But I mean, to
me, it just it just seems like it's right in their wheelhouse.
It's an open protocol. I mean, they're all about social and
about, you know, I mean, it's owned by the company that
created WordPress. Like that's, that's in WordPress is all about
interop. And, you know, they sort of in in not invented but
absolutely popularized the notion of having comments on a
blog post. I mean, all that stuff just makes sense that
Pocket Casts would be the one to do cross app comments and
surface them in their app is in there. And it's open now. So
somebody can go at it. Now that's a complex feature,
probably require some back end a they would want that, that at
least as far as the UI goes, I mean, that could that could be
helped by the open open developers now.
I'm just I'm not condemning anybody. I'm just I don't
understand. And we have a real push a real push. There's,
there's developers, there's users, this real users coming in
and and, and I'm very excited about the differences that the
fediverse has in a just how the culture is and the vibe of it
all and so perfect to do this. Now, and I just checked on curio
caster, I can't find it if the comments are there. I don't
think pod verse surfaces them.
Um, yeah, commercial app and the with
Missy pod pod verse.
It's in both,
right, but I can't let me say
swipe you swipe to get to and upon verse on the app. Okay,
let me see. So I'm playing it here. And I swipe Well, I don't
see how I swipe on not on the web app.
I don't think oh, no, you're on the web app. Yeah, now it's on
the mobile app. It's, it's there. Right? You swipe over to
I think you swipe left to get to it. Okay, I just opened my pod
verse and it shows a little live emblem wrapper. So you gotta
love.
Right? But no, but no comments there. But I want to just on the
last one, I'm sorry, everybody. I'm doing this while you're
listening to me doing it, which is kind of creepy.
It is on the web app. You just not like you don't swipe. I
think it's just on a different location. Like the comments are
collapsed by default on the pod verse app. So you don't you
don't like you don't see it unless you Oh, expand the
comments.
I'm probably not logged in. So that may that may be part of the
problem here.
Let me say podcasting to
look at ours. Now. I'm going into and I see the live live
works is so beautiful love pod Molly.
Yeah. So if you if you click on pod, Molly
Yeah, no.
comments there. Transcript comments, chapters, clips,
and I have no comments. Oh, yeah, there's no, I have no
comments. And the second
it takes a second hit it, it takes a second to play, it has
to go grab all the comments. But anyway,
like jokes there, but you can't respond. But you can't respond.
It's not it's not prominently featured. And of course, if you
want if you want to, I don't know, I think Misha has seen an
uptake in pod verse users. And why is that is because it's the
only podcast that gives you an alert when no agenda goes live.
And so what I say is, hey, you can go get to go get pod verse,
If you want to be alerted when no agenda show goes live. And
you can get right into the what we call the troll room. And the
comments are just saying I will promote everybody's app.
Okay, well, they think you just answered the question. What
causes apps to implement features? This goes right back
to what we've known the whole time. apps won't implement
features that don't have content available to certain that it can
surface. As
I said, every single one of my shows, has it and has content in
it historically, for many shows,
right? But Pocket Casts is not going to do something that's
only on one or two podcasts. Why not one more comment?
Why do you make that assumption?
Because they're a big app, and they don't want to spend time on
something that only has one or two buckets?
I think that's presumptuous. I'm not so sure. They also made it
open source, you know, like it's a big app. And by the way, it's
open source. I don't know, I'm not so sure that they wouldn't
want to implement that.
I mean, I think they want to implement it. I'm just saying
it's probably a hard.
Okay, but am I okay, back to my original point. If we all want
to wait until Apple does it or Pocket Casts or someone big?
It's disappointing to me. We've kind of went away. No, I'm just
saying we've proven I'm not saying this to you, we prove.
We've proven that when we show more than one app doing
something people start to take it up. Transcripts is a great
example. It's a slow lift, but it's getting there. And
eventually it will just become standard. Which brings me to the
inside we can leave this brings me to the next piece. Did Apple
just accept using the podcast namespace by accepting the TX T
record? or is this some back end deal that transistor has that
isn't really using the namespace?
No, I think it's I think it's I think it's been sanctioned.
But is has there been less it hasn't been a press release or
as someone
acknowledged this? No, but I think I think it's
so if I make a feed with a TXT record to be verified on Apple
podcast, I will put that in my feed in the TX T tag.
Right hmm yeah, so I think I think what they're I think
Apple's push the way I understand it, Apple's push and
I sent you a screenshot but yeah,
I got I got to thank you. Adam getting would really is that
what the screenshots like? Is that all? No wonder. All right.
So we can have Adam getting wood clips, but we can't have
comments. Okay. All right. All right.
All only children, only childish people get move the world
forward. Yeah. Okay. So I think I think apples. I mean, I think
they're going to the way I understand it push hosts to
adopt the txt tag for verification. So
can I say, in my own marketing materials, Apple has adopted the
podcast namespace with the first tag, which is the TX T tag for
verification.
I think you can say whatever you want.
I don't want people I don't want people get mad.
Well, I mean, run it by run, run by Ted. So hey, Ted, can I can I
say this out loud? I don't think in public.
The point X No, the point is, alright, fine. I'm not gonna beg
anybody. I just want to know, I mean, if if Apple actually is
recognizing the namespace would be nice for them to say it.
Okay, if they don't want to
tip, I'm looking to say it out loud. I'd be very appreciative
of that.
I'd be super appreciative of it. But it feels like to me, it
feels like there was this thing, Apple's gonna do this. And
everyone's talking about it, and, and they're gonna announce
it, and there's no announcement. And I'm like, okay, so what was
the big secret about did it actually happen? Is it true? To
me, it feels like transistor has just some API thing on the back
end. So they don't put an email address in and they hand it off
properly to Apple, it doesn't feel like well,
now they're putting the TXT record in now. That's, that's
it's going in the feed. They're doing it I'm transistors do it.
100% did it the right 100% 100% They did it the right way. And
so and, and I think my understanding is Apple has had
what at such a time because you know, the Okay, I think the the
the the mix up here is that? Yeah, Apple has, as press
forecasted that they are going to in the future, deprecate the
iTunes author, iTunes owner, TASH are sure so but they
haven't done it yet. They said early 23. So my, you know, I
would, the way this would go, I think is that they would say,
here, you know, on the official day, when they actually
deprecated then they would have a thing that says, and here's
what we recommend you do instead. That's a bet you that's
the way that is going to come down the pipe.
I do not see a single TXT record in any feeds.
Because you don't because nobody's moving you only use it
when you move your when you can train and you need to verify.
Okay, it goes in there when you verify
I'm just suspicious
that's gonna be that's gonna be the subtitle of your
autobiography. Adam curry
it's Adam curry held hostage by my hair.
I'm going abroad stats by the great because
I have some questions about that. My mommy, I'm interested
in your stats.
I just get this is something I've been wanting to add some
been in my craw for for a while is you know, Spurlock publishes
these monthly stats. Where he goes bang is like the you know,
the number of new episodes. I always wonder. What I've always
wanted to dig down on is how many of these new episodes like
he's, he'll say, here's the here are the hosting companies that
published the most new episodes for November. And I've always
wondered, how many of those feeds that published a new
episode? How many of those were existing feeds versus new feeds?
So how many of what percentage of those shows that published in
November? How many of those was how many of those feeds was that
their first episode, if that makes sense, so indicating that
it's a brand new feed that's never existed before versus an
existing feed that is just publishing another episode. So
in November, the number of unique feeds that published an
episode was 366,849. So that's pretty I mean, that's pretty
good. That's that's in line with what it normally is. Of those
366,849 shows that published an episode. Anchor represented
96,391 of those. So That's 26%. So 26% of the feeds that
published a new episode 26% were anchor, and this is in November.
So if you've drill if you if you sort of get down further and
say, how many of that 366,849 feeds that published in
November, how many of those feeds were created in November?
It's 9% 34,188. So just shy of 10% of November's feeds that
published an episode were brand new. There were feeds that had
not existed before. And then if you drill down a little bit
further than that, you can say, of those escaping out of those
but but but anchor feeds that were created out of thin air in
November were 10,032%. So it 13,032 So 3% of the total, were
brand new phase, created on Anchor so. So the way we take it
as a third of a third of the new feeds that were created in
November, were created on Anchor is basically what you can say.
That's pretty. That's pretty good. I mean, like, and let me
explain what I mean, by good. I mean, obviously, anchors this
huge Gen gigantic free hosts, so you're gonna they're gonna suck
all the air out of the room most of the time. But you really are,
you're only looking at a third, that means two thirds of all the
brand new feeds in the month of November came from other hosting
companies that were not anchor. So that's, I mean, that's
actually encouraging to me.
Can I ask a couple questions here? Yes, because I see a lot
of this work going on. I see. We got some kind of stats package
that some, some new developer came in and was really
introduced that it's always nice when when a developer bursts a
new project into the world. Yeah, I enjoy that. And so I
have a couple of questions that roll into one. And it really
that my main question is, what is the why of this? So you
You're guessing to new, you're gonna see well, I'll expand a
little bit and I just want to understand, besides creating
endless content for pod news and and reports for podcast
consultants, I think the stats are interesting. But what is the
objective? And what is the analog in the radio or any other
publishing industry? I've never cared what television people
used to watch me or what radio device? Is this for hosting
company marketing.
My interest in this is purely to get a sense of the overall
health of the podcasting. In the independent podcast hosting
ecosystem. Well, you you can't
determine health without knowing if what is what is coming out.
It could be love. It could be shit, you don't know what it is.
I mean, you don't know the content of these things. You
just it's just random. To me. It's the other side of the
Dalvik issue. I mean, the podcast industrial complex fell
so flat on its face, once again, when anybody can just use some
like Samsung use some user agent and it it screwed up all the
charts all the rankers it completely defrauded advertisers
at some point. I think this whole thing is broken. And it
just to me is feels like the only thing I can see is that
perhaps the John Spurlock sees this as being some type of open
system that advertisers, some advertisers or some sponsors may
ultimately use to some degree, but I just don't understand the
why of this project.
This is not these stats that I'm talking about. And the monthly
stats from John these are not download stats, these are these
are feed stats,
but it's all part of the same thing to me. No
Well, yeah, but that's disagree because because the the feed
stats the download stats get into all the achiness and the
yuckiness of of advertising and in and reach and
we agree on that but um, but all this other stuff, I'm just like,
Okay,
let's see the so when I say health I mean like we're talking
about capture I don't you know, we don't want one behemoth
company a hosting company to essentially capture the entire
you know, suck all of the podcasting into itself and so
they can they then begin to dictate term okay.
God So, a and I'm not fighting I love you, you know that right?
I'm just this. This is highly interesting to me because I see
all the energy that's going in, I want to figure out, what can I
do with this energy? Is it useful? So if what's the trip
wire when what you just said, Okay, someone's sucking all the
energy out of the room there's somehow they're they're
garnering too much power. What is the trip wire? And what is
the resolution? What is the action we need to take?
Then that's when we that's when we trigger the this top secret
weapon. Okay,
so I think just as I thought it's useless exercise. You have
no, you have no answer for my questions. Dave Jones, I want
you to enjoy, I want you to enjoy doing what you do. I
really do. I just I don't know if I'm supposed to be paying
attention or not. I don't I don't know. It's hard because
just like, Okay, I have boundless energy. I don't have
cross app comments, but I know exactly which hosting company is
doing well, as
well. But okay. All right. Let me let me take that. Let me let
me take that ball and run with it. You know, exactly. Which
which hosting companies are doing well, well, now. That's
the pitch. No, that's a little bit of a misnomer to I mean, I'm
sure anchor is losing money. So they're not actually doing well.
Good point. Good point. You can't look in someone's pocket
book for sure.
Yeah. So but but this also tells you whether like this gives you
ideas about whether or not certain about whether Elissa
well
here's here's an example. Here's an excerpt from the chat room.
Ice Cube soup says, I think some interesting stats would be feed
which published its 20th, episode 50th episode at cetera,
feeds, which published an episode three years after its
first published event, five years, etc.
And I'm saying interesting in any way. Thank
you. This is my point. Where is the interesting data? Where is
something that will interest me?
Let me let me say that but you imagine that we did this, okay.
Imagine, imagine that I brought these stats and instead, instead
of the mundane stats that I gave you a while ago, if instead what
I what I what I reported was that. Okay. 366,849 feeds were
published a new episode in November, and 50% of those were
new feeds created on Anchor. Yeah, all of the sudden, you're
like, No, okay, way to say, Oh, you'd be the proper response to
that would be there, is something majorly wrong within
podcasting.
I don't know. Why would he be wrong? Why would something be
wrong? What is wrong? They mean, I don't understand this. This is
exactly what I don't understand.
But what would be wrong would be you would be right to conclude
that, that very few people are actually signing up for new
podcast, and most of them are just dicking around on Anchor,
but it's not a bad thing. Yeah, it would be a bad thing. Why?
Why is that? Why is it a bad thing?
Because it would be hard to go out and convince people to
implement new namespace features. If they if the hosting
companies are actually looking at their books and being like,
Oh, my God, we can't pay the bills. Like that. To me. That's
what I mean by health like,
right. But if you if you have an industry, where you have a huge
VC funded player who was giving away free stuff, your industry
may be in trouble anyway.
Right, but I don't I don't know how much trouble there.
Okay. You should write up a report. And you should, I think
you should do a sub stack. Yeah, I think it's a good idea to do a
sub stack. And here's this. Here's the health of the
industry. I think it would be a hit. I do. Don't done. I'm
telling you. Damn. Listen, Daniel J. Daniel J. Lewis, point
of personal privilege is going to do this now that I've given
this idea. health of the podcast industry.
It'll be his next episode. Yeah.
If you're loving those stats, I'm happy. I just I don't know.
I'm just going I don't understand. I wouldn't
say I loved him. It was actually painfully boring.
To the show database was there and it needs to be mined. I get
it. I totally understand. I understand that. I understand.
Oh, man. There's some new app popped up which I didn't quite
understand. castled you take a look at this.
had not looked at it yet. No. Castle
is an interactive podcast player for people who want to go beyond
listening. Transcribe save, share and search podcast content
all from one simple platform. Castle's goal is to bring
scripts is Bring the next level of collaboration and learning to
the podcast world. Hey Castle, guys, why don't you do some
cross app comments if that's your goal? Oh,
yeah, totally. So sure like I said Greenfield project get you
could make it right in from the beginning, right? Perfect. Yeah,
good time to do it.
Oh, man, oh, man. Oh, man.
Oh, let me let me just let me just say that I've been Somebody
contacted me through email and did a sort of an in depth
analysis on the index to find duplicates. Oh, and what he
found what he sent me though his methodology and everything which
is sound is good. It's a good it's a good way to do it. He
found 50,000 duplicates index.
Well, wait a minute. That's That's what 1% Yeah, that's 1%
that's pretty. That's pretty good, man. Congratulations. I
feel good about this shirt.
Holy crap. A virtual Well, hold on
I need to have this thing a little more. A little more
standby. 1% 1% 1% is gratulations. Man, that's really
good. That is really incredibly good. Do we? How about the
Slurpee, the slipper Slurpee
that was still going we're closing in where you'd like
50,000 feeds of music. I think you said or posted 44,000?
Close? That's not bad. Yeah, that's a good start.
And you know, dystopia unleashed their, their, their value block
integration in their, in their? Their medium tags. So we got to
get them on the show. Have
you ever seen anything show up from them on in the index any
feeds with?
I'm gonna look for I'm gonna get some. I'm gonna bring some stats
next week.
These are stats, I'm very interested in day. Oh, goodness,
no, thanks. Yeah, definitely, let's this is value for value,
by the way. And if you would like this to continue, not just
this banter, but the whole project, which seems to kind of
be centered around podcasts. index.org. Most of the people
who use it like to support it, you never want it to go away.
It's to say it's the other side of the conversation about
regular payments that you want to keep handing off to a podcast
or sees the value block. It's it all makes total sense. This is
and I like I love that what you said earlier that, you know,
it's all value for value. And there's many different ways we
can expand that and I completely agree. And so one of that is
recurring donations, which people do with us right now by
by force, it has to be through PayPal with the Fiat fun
coupons, but we also get lots of boosted grants. And if you want
to support us go to podcast index.org There is an on chain
QR code there or at least a link to one that you can can hit if
you which no one does. Or you can just use the power button.
And of course get a modern podcast at podcast new podcast
apps.com and boost us boost away so let's we who do we have to
thank today. Oh, we get we get we get? We have? This is from
like two weeks since we were off.

cash donation in the pod.
Yes. That's right. Yeah. That was pretty cool. I was Sir

Good to go. Mr. Curry.
100,000 SATs from Bhumi overdale Be nice. Oh,
no, I gotta hit a ball every single
play. Ball is my fault. The podcast index app. Oh, that's
us. That's the website and he says, oh, cool catching up with
some of the past episodes after the adopting Bitcoin Conference.
Cheers from El Salvador.
Wow, he was no Salvador. Nice. So I got some reports about El
Salvador. From various people in the media.
If you're is if this is the Alex Trebek pronunciation. It's El
Salvador, El Salvador.
Well, there's a lot of cinema about El Salvador. And let me
tell you what the finance people say. Okay. It is definitely it's
definitely true that it is, you know, that everything is alive
and reviving. And the Bitcoin story has something to do with
that. But to think that everyone accepts Bitcoin, it's all hunky
dory and the Chivo, or chives app works is not exactly true.
It's all still a little bit as you would expect, buggy. But
every single every report from El Salvador is, is always so
incredibly positive that I'm like, so it's definitely doing
well, but it's not quite up there with what you might
expect. That's, that's the report. That's the report I'm
getting.
I mean, financially, they were in such bad shape. You gotta
imagine it's just going to take a long time to dig out of that
hole,
then, which is just the Bitcoin beach and the infrastructure,
you know, it's like, yeah, it's getting there for sure. Because,
you know, it's it's it's legal, legal currency. But very, very
few people are using it, honestly, tourists are using it,
which is good
time. There's a anytime there's a there's too much government
control, and too much government interference in an economy.
There always is a thriving black market. So the because the black
market becomes the black market is actually the real market,
because the the official market ceases to function correctly. So
you'll never be able to tell the health and then economy by the
official government metrics, because that's not the real
market anymore. And
why don't you get in there and let them know what the health is
their economy, you can look up the stats package for it.
I do abroad. wadded up dirt on the floor.
Are you mad at me about that?
No, no, I
love that you love me is different from being mad at me.
Yes, you can be mad at someone and love them dearly.
Absolutely. Bumi sent 21,000 SATs again and he says podcast
and he says listening to you is so incredibly exciting. And it
is so good to hear others having such productive conversations
and caring about the values that make me work on open web stuff.
Since ever. Podcasting 2.0 brings back a lot of my past
excitement about the early web.
Can I just stop for a moment and just stop you for a moment as
him I'd like us all to consider that it was only 80 years ago. I
mean 80 years you know people who are older than 80 Right 80
years ago our boys were out shooting it their boys trying to
kill each other in France you know, and it's just beautiful to
see you know I really mean this I love seeing all these
different maybe because I grew up in the Netherlands that I'm
that I'm so aware of really recent history global history
and how pissed off everybody was that we'd bomb each other and
kill each other and world war two and here we are all excited
working together the technology has connected us just wanted to
take a moment just want to say it's beautiful.
freedom and openness
yes
yes it created yields dividends right
and let us let us be careful with that you know there's a lot
of a holes in the in the in the liberal world order because
they'd like to call it who wants to divide us based order the
rules based order who wanted to bite us and want to make us mad
at each other and there's no reason because we all get along
and we love each other and we're doing good stuff we're creative
together and so when he says how excited he is I want to play
that back and say you know we'd like you knew Germans you're
good guys. You are Yes. And we're not bad either when the
Americans kind of dickish here and there but we're working
everywhere Pretty much yeah,
there's a list Yeah, floaty and slips 2000 SATs there Curio
caster. Thank you and he says, Just found your show. Listen to
the last one and thought of a name for a full access show
called ch mod 777.
As funny
like that's a good one. Don't record 3333 He says the week
seems bland when you two aren't holding a board meeting for us
plebs to drop in. Oh no, wait, wait. We will take exception to
that. You are not a pleb you are a full member of the board.
Exactly. Board Member but on your business card. Put on your
LinkedIn.
That's right. Looking forward to the episode return and a hefty
set of updates to catch up on speedy recovery has hopefully
occurred for Adam already by the time the SATs move over.
Indeed, indeed. And I appreciate all the thoughts, prayers and
everything everybody sent. It really helped made a big
difference to me. Appreciate it.
And following up with the delimiter is comma strip blogger
Hello 33 015 through fountain and he says, howdy, David, Adam.
So thank you for your service for podcasting. 2.0 And let's
hope that 2.0 features will reach mainstream someday and
your audience is invited to listen to AI dot cooking podcast
about artificial intelligence, news and skills with a Z
narrated by posh as far Mr. Fancy Pants Gregory wicking
force from a kid in UK, just enter AI dot cooking in any web
browser or in any podcast player app. Yo, CSB.
Thank you very much CSP every single, every single podcast he
supports. So cause as harsh as baby, you bet. Yeah, my mouth is
a little askew now. Like,
we got to wrap this, but
they're kind of getting there. But it's more like the molars
now have a different bite. As you know what's cool about what
happened though. I put the headphones on for the first time
on Wednesday, it had been a good week. And right away, I noticed
my hearing has improved. Oh, and interesting. And it's it's all
connected. And also my allergy. This is one of the reasons is
for health reasons. Also, because I had low grade
infection in in the, in my bone of my upper jaw, which was
starting to affect my sinuses, which is why for 10 years, I
thought I had allergies, but it was really when I'm chewing so I
go to a restaurant in Austin, and then we'd be having dinner,
and all sudden, I get near my nose and my eyes are running my
nose. And it's just disgusting. I have to go and blow my nose
and all this stuff. And I thought it's damn Aaron Austin.
But of course it's the eating the pressure, it would aggravate
the the inflammation. And so that probably also since it's
all connected, affected my hearing.
That's really odd that that is one of those things that you
wouldn't that's just one of those things you would never
like put the two and two together.
Of course not.
That's so strange. I mean, that's awesome. Because you I
mean, your hearing is critical.
Well, it's weird because what it is, is I really got I got more
high end back for some reason. Which is it's interesting.
Well, you know this, they're not not really on the same base.
It's kind of similar. You know, my daughter, my daughter, my
youngest, she had a skin infection in her face. But about
three weeks ago, and so like it was cellulitis so and they think
oh, she's got braces? Ah yeah, they think they should get an
old sir from her braces. And some bacteria get into her
cheek, which ended up in a went up to her eyes below her. I was
very puffy. I was like,
I was thinking of her because that could happen that could
have happened with me the exact same thing.
Yeah, and this cellulitis is I mean, that's like a big deal.
But she was on some heavy, like shockingly high antibiotics
like, like, to the point where the pharmacist was like, Are you
sure this is right? She actually called the hospital really into
Yeah, because she was like this is a lot.
What do you know what it was a joke. Do you know what it was?
What kind of
antibiotics there was? It was Bactrim and? And augmentin, but
both doses were like extremely high. They were it was like
every four hours.
And it was that was the right one that was the right dosage.
Yeah, they said
that she they said they thought the effective. They said they
thought that basically she was just below the threshold of
having to do IV antibiotics and so they should still do oral.
Yeah, it was the colitis is one of the more dangerous infections
to get. So we were kind of freaked out. Yeah. I know your
mouth infections are no joke.
Now. What's cool now is if I stand on one leg and I
positioned myself a little bit north northwest, I can receive
60 meters in the air. Started 33.
out straight straight from the Omnisphere two you're just
right.
This is incredible. It's incredible with modern science
and technology can do. It's really amazing.

for value in one of the podcasts and 2.0 apps, you're supporting
the whole system. So you and today you're supporting Alex and
Steven crater who worked very hard on getting pod paying up
and running, you're supporting multiple apps, I mean, really,
you're supporting a lot of the system and that works that way
for this podcast, but it also works supporting your favorite
podcasts and I think the big takeaway from the board meeting
today was that it's all value for value as long as we respect
respect the splits one way or the other.
And the teacher by the way, respect the splits
thank you I needed a title There you go There it is. Yeah,
respect the splits All right, well, maybe we should have
another maybe another t shirt which is like I'll put you my
value block baby
too long and have to wrap around the bat just
a thought just a thought anything else for the for the
for the wrap up?
I'm good let's not do it. Let's not wait. Let's not do this this
long. Between shows again, though. It's
