Oh, podcasting 2.0 for July 29 2020 to Episode 95 We are the
jazz Hello everybody. Welcome once again to the official board
meeting for podcasting. 2.0 everything happening in what's
new and cool in podcasting 2.0 podcast index.org Of course we
discuss the namespace, the podcast standards, and anything
else that we've been messing around with the podcast index
dot social. I'm Adam curry here in the heart of the Texas Hill
Country and in Alabama, the man who needs more than 1000
characters in his description field my friend on the other
end, Mr. Dave Jones,
we urgent, urgent, urgent. We have racists on our side. What
racist? I tell you. Rael, you didn't see that email? No.
You'll get an email to the to the info at podcast index.org or
with an urgent message so
I missed it. Oh, wait, I think I did. I did see this
subject line urgent racist racist on your site
wasn't just the one that was CC to a whole bunch of other
people.
Yeah, yeah. They've in What do you mean Shall I read it?
Yeah, because Weren't they asking specifically for us to do
something about it? Or was it just WARNING WARNING racist on
our site?
Now if you if you're gonna say that you better give clear
instructions as to where the racists are so we can go in
Yeah, go handle handle the racist Yes. Yeah, go get in get
them. This is a little bit it says like this. This starts out
this way with I don't think grammatically you're supposed to
start a sentence with parentheses, but I could be
wrong. The way this starts is parentheses, change this to
people not person
call right. I did see this one. Your merge fail but okay. Yeah.
All right. We're still with you. Your merge,
but still applies to both podcasts. This person is a
racist, racist white nationalist accounts are interacting,
replying being bigots in comments interacting with this
content. This person possibly platforming such people doing
such they're also interacting with others doing such podcast
name, orange pill podcast.
The max and Stacy orange pill podcast. Seriously orange
pill podcast is now radically in this email might not even be
talking about the orange pill podcast is racist. They may have
just added that in Yeah, I guess named Marco. But
just anything that happens to pop up when they scrape the
website. It is
said to change this to people not person. So clearly, we don't
know how to interpret their
I'm telling you, man, the woes we have to go through for
running an index, you know, all these these takedown requests
this? It's actually we want to really talk about that much. But
have we received any real? Like One Night Two DMCA takedown
requests total since we've been doing this?
Yeah. Not many, not many real. of you know, like, real DMCA
takedowns. Where it's like, get it off. Yeah, we didn't do
anything. And
this may be a couple of people. Like I don't want to be on your
lawyer because a couple of those. But most are oh, so
embarrassing. Please delete this
person. You get a lot of most of that as anchors like, Oh, I did
this when I was like 12. Yeah, please remove this. Exactly.
Exactly. Ah, so I'm day to day four of the of the Cuf.
This is round two for you. Yeah, yeah, maybe three. Did you say
maybe?
No, no, no, no, just two to 14 as well. She she got it from her
friend. And she was in Utah. And came back and she's like, stay
away from me. Yeah, like, no. If I had to get it, I'm gonna get
it. Like you're gonna get it. Stay away. Like the germs are
not gonna fly into my face. So of course I got it. It didn't
take long. It's like a summer cold. It's just annoying. It's
just a waste of time. It's very annoying that way.
Yeah. Melissa, Melissa, she went to Tampa a few weeks ago and she
got like, the big girls Girls trip vacation. Been looking
forward to it. Day one as soon as she got down there, got it.
And tested positive. And then she was like, Oh, great. Yeah, I
get to stay in the hotel.
Oh, no, no,
she didn't know she went out to the beach and stuff. But I mean,
it was it's just an annoyance at this point.
So it was it was fun listening to the pod man podcast today,
which is basically now just a companion show for this one.
It's a spin off it really is.
My dog is trying to say something I'm not sure what she
wants my dog. Oh, you're a dog. I thought it was they sound so
similar.
They like they are the window number of routing Audio Routing
issues we had it may be my dog come in through your,
on your house. You know, let me talk about that for a second
because this is important for podcasting peoples. So, just to
briefly recap for well over a decade, maybe maybe longer it
really since we started podcasting, I've been always
looking for the ultimate all in one portable device that would
really do it all with all the routing and the compression and,
and it's never really gotten there. And I
mean, let me ask you this real quick. Yeah. What do you think
this qualifies, rises to the level of an obsession with you?
Would you call it? Would you call it that word?
Yes. I mean, not an obsession, like you have to do it every
single day. But it's something that always I've been, I mean,
if you go back and look, you can see that I've made so many
different versions of a portable podcast rig. And I've had it in
Pelican cases. And I've documented most of that work. I
mean, this goes back to at least 2009 or something. But even
before then, you know, we were doing podcasting. And it just
seemed, yeah. Obsession. No, it's it's a part of the whole
idea. The idea is that if we can create this, then it has to also
be small. And there's no reason why we can't have something that
does everything the right way. We've kind of been borrowing
from the music industry for years and years, the way the way
their stuff is set up. And then device makers clearly saw the
market for gaming. And so most of their devices were for gamers
and Twitch streamers, which is still different. It's a
different setup than what you need for podcasting. And
certainly, the theory I have is you, you get it good to go, you
hear what's going to be on the recording, and you do it all in
one in one take. And if you need to edit, you can go back later
and cut stuff out. But I'm not really I don't think because we
haven't had a device that lets you do that easily. And
professionally. People resorted to the well and we record
multitrack and we go sit there like Phil Spector and on the
wall of sound, I'm going to do everything and compress
everyone's you know, did a little bit panning. So which I
just don't think is it for the for some some people they may
like to in that. But I've always believed there's a very big
market for just being able to sit down and do it. And so I've
reached out to many device makers, I've tried to make my
own and even did a GoFundMe at one point which failed because I
had to pull it because we couldn't deliver the technology,
the actual Attabad technology partner.
That's what I heard man,
but I had, but I had the concept, oh hardware, I'll never
I don't think I should ever do hardware. Again. It's hardware.
It's crazy. And now what I see what road has come out with at
the price point even which is $700. It doesn't matter, I would
pay $2,000 for this, it doesn't matter. It's exactly what I
want. And the nice thing about what they've done is they really
have it set up so they can issue firmware updates with real
functionality right off the bat. So even since I've had this,
which has been what, six weeks or so maybe not even.
Yeah, we're five weeks like that in a month, month or so.
So we got a firmware update. And it included some routing
specific routing options, which the gamers actually wanted to
they had made such a great podcast device, gamers went well
hold on, you know, this is not working for us anymore. So they
were able to fix that pretty quickly, which I think was
fantastic.
So So when do you choose the appropriate window to do a
firmware update that is critically important with your
slate of podcasts?
Yes, I did this on Monday. So after after the no agenda show,
I would have now I knew I was not going to do mo because I
knew I wouldn't even be able to talk by Wednesday. And I had to
save my my energy for Thursday. So yeah, I had a good three days
in between tickle, because I'm not crazy. And everything was
working fine. Right. But here's here's a bug that I noticed. So
the way it works, when you switch to a different show you
you literally import this show from the settings from the
intern or from the SD card that's internal to the device
that you stick into the device. Okay, and it was bringing back
the settings with the new routing capabilities. It was
confused and it should have just known what to do and have the
routing. The way it was the last time we did the show which was
pre update. But it didn't and and so when it came on, it just
confused everything and I had to go in and reset the routing,
which is kind of the first time I was doing it. So it made a
complex ate it. And by then, of course, I had already messed
around with clean feed and made changes there thinking that was
the problem. And so now we had four things to deal with. But it
was meters. I think metus was in the in the chat room. And he
said, manage. This is it's the routing stuff.
Yes. He said, Nick, your nuke your routing and get back to
default and then start from there.
Yeah, and that's the thing this show had not had any routing. So
that's a that's an update bug. You know, it's very, very hard.
It's particularly with with production machines, you know,
you got people relying on it, and you're, you're issuing
updates and stuff doesn't work a whole man.
Yep. Well, Microsoft. Yeah.
Well, anything really, it's Welcome to sovereign feeds. I
mean, welcome to all kinds of stuff. Absolutely.
Well, this, this bleeds into that's a perfect segue into pod
ping dot cloud. And
this was yeah, this was a good one. But
because, okay, you know, my my day job for the last 2626 years
has been no 27 years has been as a system administrator, taking
care of servers and all kinds of, you know, lots of other
things. But so, as part of that, I have acquired a, a proclivity
to not change things, unless there are important reasons to
do so. So, like the same that will say, you know, okay, your
bios, your firmware, firmware, don't upgrade it. Unless there
unless there is a a security flaw that you think you'll be
affected by the new feature you can't live without, or see a bug
that you're trying to fix? If none of those three things are
there. Don't don't install don't flash your from your motherboard
firmware, don't do any, you know, don't don't flash firmware
on a device. Well, I apply that to all updates, all updates of
anything, if something is working. And there's not a
security problem, a feature I need, or a bug. I'm not touching
it. Because that just at your you're randomly adding extra
work and extra potential failures to your slate.
I've learned I've learned this over the years. The main thing
is when when to update, you know, even even Windows Update.
Yeah, I deny that until I'm I know, I gotta clear 48 hours
ahead.
Oh, yeah, you never install Windows updates within the first
week. You always wait at least you know, but
I mean, even just I know that I have 48 hours to fix something.
Oh, yeah, that's what I mean by that. Oh, yeah. That's where
yeah, anyway, so I've been looking at what I want to get as
a really good Linux distro that is just really good at the
routing and sound and stuff. And then and then only need one
like, only one extra program to fulfill well, I need you I gotta
go. I'm using Hindenburg Pro, which I love to death
specifically for editing. So now it's coming down to okay, I can
use Linux now in the studio environment with the road
caster, which I feel a lot better about, even though I know
a guy who's boon to crashes all the time on the show.
Yeah, that.
No, that's you. Oh, that's me. Yeah. No, it's never DeVore X
Box ever. Now that doesn't have that does not happen to him.
Yeah, my box has not had a good week. Yeah, we can talk about
that, too.
I was gonna say the so what am I going to replace that with?
Audacity is not going to cut it for for editing the way I can
edit with Hindenburg Pro. So now it's literally come down to the
specific usage of the apps that that may determine my switch.
Hmm. But so is is Hindenburg the use of usable and wine or is
that a disaster?
That's a disaster waiting to happen. I mean, you're you're
writing huge, you know, raw files back and forth. But I want
it to be native to I mean, that's, it's kind of a pushy
move. You know, it's like I'm on Linux, but I'm using wine for
half my app. Doesn't feel right.
Right now. See, I feel it's the other way around. I feel like as
opposed to move, I feel like it's like, you know, shows you
got like big honies to Steven a tip that we're right. Again,
what I'm about to do,
again, production environment. And we're doing the show and
then all of a sudden wind decides to go kernel panic or
whatever
you record in Hindenburg.
i Yeah, I do. Yeah, that's,
that's no, but it's, but it's also
just it is my editing software. You know, I It's Believe it or
not, they use a hjkl Shortcut system. For forward, backward
Fast Forward. Fast backward, you know, I've got it's so it's
complete muscle memory from for me now. Like, I can edit so fast
so that would that that's that's going to be the big one for me
anyway.
But I had to decide to stop my Umbral services before we
started the before we started a podcast from my Umbral that that
is my podcast, Rick, and I had to stop it because it's
currently 55% of the way done of re downloading the blockchain.
Yeah, were you doing the upgrade to ODOT? Five?
Yes, because I let
my mind failed, failed every single time and I've given up
you. So your failure and, and my failure or two failures, I think
are different things. Because you I don't know what yours is.
But I know I know Azim I know 100% where mine is now.
But let me let me just say one thing about mine. I haven't I
have not tried to update my actual mic. The Umbral that
runs, you know, that I receive booster grams on this is the
official Bitcoin machines, the one that I bought in the in the
encasing everything official. So it's not it's it has to be the
right configuration. And for that not to update and then we
have to go in command line and remove and I've tried all the
Remove update dot JSON are in progress, all that shit, nothing
worked. That's that's an that's a, a showstopper, you know, you
buy the box, because it's supposed to at least do some
things. Right?
Okay, here's, this is another lesson from sysadmin. World is
that that is an intoxicating idea that you always that you
will always get pulled back into. And this is not specific
to any one vendor or anything. But it is always the case that
we are prone to think that is the vendor that makes the thing
if you get their thing, and they're also the ones that make
the software that it's natural, you think, Okay, well, they're
the ones that make the software. So if I buy their box, or their
if I buy their other software, that's going to be the best
experience because they know best, because they're the ones
that literally made the thing that is 100% not correct.
Oftentimes that NIDS just as bad or worse as everybody else's
stuff.
Yeah. What's interesting, though, if you go into the
telegram group, or you know, and try and get some help, the first
thing they always say, Well, you know, you got to get the right
connector, and you don't have the right board and your your
power supplies the wrong power supply. So I could bypass all of
that. And to Hey, you should just did an update. And what
happened? Yes. Yep. So I don't know that.
That's because we so many times in corporate world, you're like,
Oh, should I buy we already our main software is x. And that's
what our business lives on. But we have this other third party,
where we're used for this other thing, but then x comes out with
a with a software that competes with the other thing. Oh, I
should buy that because that's going to work great. Yeah,
great. No, sir. It does not work that way.
I heard that there's this. There's a buddy of mine in
Dallas. He was trying to explain his business to me. Is it true
that there's there's a whole business sector that comes to
guys like, do you do a purchasing you must do
purchasing? Yeah, yeah, they come to you. And they say, Okay,
here's what we got. We got this from Microsoft, this from
Oracle, all these different things, different packages,
maybe some new stuff, maybe some some cool things. And then and
then you say, Okay, I'll do that. And then they basically
call Microsoft and Microsoft then get a separate bunch of
guys to come in and implement it. And the guy who talks to you
gets IVIG for the rest of his life, or the lifetime of the
contract.
I totally believe that yeah, because Mike Yeah, you're I know
a guy that does that on the phone side. He does that with
phones with phone software and systems. Yes.
I think my buddy also does a lot of phone software and systems
Yeah, like call centers?
Yeah, it's a consultant it's a consultant Yeah, just goes out
and shops shops your package around them. Yeah.
What a scammer that he gets he gets a piece of the license fee
is for the length of the contract.
Oh, yeah. This guy makes bank I mean, he's like, What are we
doing
wrong? Do we mess around with this podcasting stuff for like
this is crazy. asleep and making money we're
paying our own money to go to Dallas I want to get paid I want
to get paid like those guys know Yeah.
in perpetuity forever all right.
No, bomb bro. Just shit the bed I mean like If so what happens I
trust started, I started the upgrade, it wouldn't upgrade to
the GUI. So I went in command line as, like Chris Fisher said,
told me, this is his fall, he told me to do it. So I'm gonna
blame. Okay, so I went in there and I hit the start of the
upgrade script. And, and I noticed that it's, that is
making a backup of the entire Umbral directory. First I'm
nothing, okay? It's why wouldn't like That's weird. I'm guessing
it's gonna make a backup of the of the whole directory and drop
in a new file structure and then import and then bring in
selectively config files and stuff from the old install.
That's the only thing I can think. And so part of the
problem is, you've got the entire blockchain there. So
it's, it's backing up to the end, I thought I had a two
terabyte drive and I'm like, okay, all right. It's, it's fine
to two terabytes. It's gonna be it's gonna be tight, but it'll
it'll fit. Well, no, I had a one terabyte drive.
Oh, no, you're screwed. No, that won't do it.
Ran the volume out of space. And everything stopped. I'm like,
Oh, shit. So I go in there try to start cleaning it up. in it.
Now it's half an update. It's a halfway finished out. They I
don't know what's what. Now let
me ask you a question. Did you backup your channels before you
started this process? I
did backup my channel. Okay. And I had my seat words. Like a good
little boy, I had all of my stuff in a good few days. Yes, I
did all of the did all of these things. And that was very
important. Because I came I came back, I finally got back home.
Well, the, you know, did you tell scale? Right, right. And of
course, then the thing dies, and I have no access anymore. So I
get home. And I start it. I clean up the disk space issue.
And I just go, I go back to what it was. And I try to start start
the update again. And
because there wasn't enough pain the first time like, Come on,
let's do it.
You know, I was asking myself the whole time. Why am I why am
I doing this? Yeah, I did have an answer to myself. And the
answer was, because Hello, Pat, I've got to have this newest
development environment. This is true. Because otherwise
developmental help out I can't go to the umbrella. Yeah. So I'm
like, Okay, I'm gonna make this happen. And, and start the
upgrade again. It starts cop, it starts copying the thing. This
time I'm prepared for this scenario, it starts copying the
blockchain files. And here's, here's my thought, Okay, here's
my thinking. This thinking ultimately will bite me in the
ass and mean, a mean way more work for me. But this was my
thinking at the time. I'm going to stay ahead of this. What I'm
going to do is as it's backing up, it's it's clearly going to
bring all the blocks all the blockchain files back. And so
what I'm going to do is as it's backing it up to this temporary
directory, I'm going to delete the blockchain files from the
source directory.
Oh, this is a very bad idea. And I'm going to stay
just behind the curve. So that it when it's on blockchain,
Blockchain style 347, I'm deleting 341 through 346. And
you're
doing this manually and you're watching the log in real time
and you're doing rm and then whatever,
RM BLK star, star, whatever. Did
you think ahead? What happens if it fails? And then you need to
go back and do the copy again, and you've deleted them all?
No, no, of course, I didn't think about that. No, that's
yeah, that the story would would have already been over if I'd
have thought of that. Because so I'm deleting I'm happily
deleting I'm like, Man, this is such a great idea. I'm, I'm
hacking this this system so hard. And it finishes and then
it just it goes, does a bunch of stuff. And then it says, Okay,
you're done. You're upgraded. I'm a genius. Genius.
I got some I got the year upgraded message many times to
like, Man, I You are a badass. You're so genius. It says
it right there on the command line. It goes prove that you've
been updated. 0.5 Then you start it up.
Yep. And, and it was 0.5. Really? It was 0.5 with no
Bitcoin or lightning app. Yay. And I was like, Wait, okay. Be
right. I must, that must. Okay. And then I'm thinking and then
then I'm starting to like, I'm doing the thing where I'm
getting rid of my panic mode by trying to rationalize what could
be happening. Yeah. So I'm like, Okay, I bet you this is what
they did. I bet. They give you a blank Umbral point five and then
you install the Bitcoin and lightning node apps. And then
everything just comes back, though course that's stupid that
makes no, it makes no sense. I installed the Bitcoin app and
it's just blank. No, no chain, no no chain, installed the
lightning node app it says, now you got nothing. You got to wait
to the to the for the chain to snake. Oh crap.
So now you you read read you started up from your seed words.
Yeah, that's where
it gets that's where it gets real fun. Because here's a bug
with 0.5 You can't recover from seed words what it's got the
option is just gone. It and I confirm this on message boards
and everything there is no option to recover from see words
in 0.5 in the 0.5 version, so Wow, the only option is blow all
that stuff away. Go back just rm rf the whole MF er, install oh
point five, install Oh, point 4.18 And then do the upgrade. Do
the restore from seed words, let the blockchain sink Oh. And then
however many days that takes hope that your channels didn't
force close by the time that finishes so you can restore your
channel back. Which is currently the phase I'm in? Wow.
Hey, Roy, when you when you're going to give us that new hot
shit you're working on man. So we now have to deal with this
anymore. This is crazy.
I want some green light, man. This was suck. Give us
some Greg. Give us him green light, bro. Yeah, that does
suck. I'm sorry.
But, you know, that's yeah, I don't under the I have no ill
will towards Umbral in any way because I think they're doing a
very complicated thing. I can't even imagine trying to handle
all the stuff that they're doing. But this you should not
ship a Bitcoin wallet with the deterministic bitcoin wallet
without that does not have the ability to recover from seed
words. That is a showstopper. Yes, it is. That should have
never left the barn.
All right. So we talked about podcasts? Yeah, well, let's,
let's transition into and this is what I was hearing on pod
land that Oberto from rss.com was talking about, and I
encourage everyone to listen, that interview was talking about
the integration with the lb wallet, and but not heard that
you will love it. Because just listening to how they think
about the development of their hosting services, and the
roadmap and how they determine the roadmap and how they do
enhancements, and most importantly, the decisions Why
is really interesting. And it also gave me a little more
insight into why things go slow. And okay, yeah, the thing, I
guess the big takeaway, well, first of all, I love that
they've done this. And you know, and it's a very, it's a very
basic, you know, you have there's no split, so you got a
wallet, and it works. And it's a very simple process. And, and
I'm amazed. And so now they're going to look and see how their,
how their customers interact with as they use it at all. But
just as you know, we've always had the chicken and the egg
problem of what are the new features, the apps have to
support them? The hosting companies, and this was one of
Alberto's points is like, well, you know, with chapters four,
certainly in the beginning, 99.9% of all of his customers be
like, oh, cool, I did chapters, and I put my chapters in here,
is that great, but where are they on Spotify? You know, so
they, so they have this very long adoption and educational
phase. And I'm sure all the hosting companies have this. And
it's kind of fun, because now I see that all of a sudden, a lot
of the podcasts on the host that, you know, that I guess, I
listened to podcast that are across all the hosts, but now
I'm hearing ad insertions. Seems like you know that that was kind
of a thing that everyone's working on for maybe 18 months.
And now I hear dynamic ads on blueberry, you have the mid
rolls that Buzzsprout is doing is very interesting. So that
that's kind of their, I guess their CO competitive wave that
they're doing things and now I think we're seeing this move
towards the 2.0 features. And, you know, it's, it's always been
slow with podcasting, but I got a little more insight into the
hosting end of it and how they have to deal with with driving
adoption, really.
I was having a conversation with somebody about this recently.
And I liked the way rss.com Did it and this was this was what So
what I suggest to people privately Is that you, you know
you can do, you can do a feature like this to one of, you know a
few ways, I mean, two primary ways. You could say, Okay,
there's this thing. And we want to, we want to, we want to do
this for our customers, we want to enable this feature, or this
ability to do a thing, you could say, all right, value for value,
we're going to do that, we are going to go grab some software,
LM PE, or Alby, I think Abby's open source as well, you we're
gonna go grab that we're gonna load up, we're gonna fire up a
node, we don't have any idea what we're doing. But we're
gonna fire up a node, we're gonna stick, you know, run this
software, and we're gonna start figuring out where to put
wallets on your, you could do all you could do it that way.
And take on a whole lot of liability potentially, for
things that you don't fully understand. Or you could do an
integration with somebody like an AO B or some third party and
get essentially, what could be maybe not as robust a solution,
you may, there may be things you want to do in the future that
you can't do without me. But at least what you've done is sort
of a you've outsourced the responsibility for a thing that
you don't fully grasp to this other outfit. And that gives you
a little bit of separation between between design and
potential disaster.
And it is an example of interrupts in its purest form as
long as you use the open standards, just like RSS enables
podcast index to work with curio caster with POD verse with
fountain. And it works with any of the hosting companies feeds.
Same thing with with the Lightning Network and payments.
So much. Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. And that's what you're
not going to get into in a in a walled garden approach. And I
think it just drives innovation. Look at us. Look at look at look
at where we're at. People, you know, people with Spotify don't
even know we exist. Some of the executives know. Yeah, whatever.
Yeah, was what was that movie that Danny Kaye was in?
Danny Kaye? The movie about the Egypt?
Yeah, it was about the encyclopedia, cyclo P, the
music, almost like, this is something from my childhood, and
I'm making myself a huge Boomer. By doing this. There was a movie
was it the music man? Anyway, I have to find out what it was,
there was a movie and, and it was this group of, of
intellectuals and they were writing the history of music.
And you're going by they were still kind of, they've been
doing this for 10 years, and they were still an African
tribal music. And then all of a sudden, they kind of get out and
have a drink in the open and they they discover that jazz is
all around them. And, and that's kind of how I see what happens
with these with these companies who are so hyper focused on what
they're doing. And they don't see the jazz being played around
them, which I think is a really good metaphor for podcasting.
2.0 We're like it is jazz. Everyone comes in. Boop, boop
boop boo. And and sometimes it doesn't fit and you know, then
just like, yeah, Yo, man, go smoke a J come back later,
but you know what I mean? It's pennies. The five pennies is
this
is this. That doesn't sound right. Well, it's it's about the
Encyclopedia of music. Okay, I'll have to see. I mean, it
hadn't made an impression on me somehow. When I was a kid,
anyway. Yeah. Now, I like this and the interrupt there is, is,
is perfect because it allows like, it allows people to
experiment with some of these features in a way for their for
their customers, or their for the benefit of their customers.
I mean, this stuff works. It's not like you're just sandboxing
something and saying, you know, okay, well there's that early
word but you're getting your play around with it. All right,
you know this this actually works and you and for those
customers who want to give it a go, they can that is but it's a
very little risk to their primary business and time sink.
Although pocket running with scissors sometimes sometimes
effects my actual business. Man, I screwed up the RSS feed on no
agenda so bad yesterday.
Tell me what happened because I didn't follow.
Okay, the first obvious issue is I have this caching thing, which
is just killing me is just killing me i because of the
cache, you know, I have to guess and wait well, maybe 15 minutes
before I send a pod ping and so If you're doing that you're
trying to do a lit pod ping. And you know, oh shit, I've already
started the show. So it's a, it's an extra piece of work in
the cockpit the pilot doesn't need. But I still want to do it.
So anyway, so yesterday, yesterday, I was really sick, we
did the show I'm done. And then in sovereign feed, which does
all of this for me, somehow, instead of copy previous episode
to make a new one, I just changed the old one. And I
didn't realize it until I published it. But once you
publish your RSS feed, particularly if you've got
caching stuff, and there's no quick like, Oh, let me swap it
out.
Those happen when you publish things, oh, man, and
then and then yeah, so then I then I had to have curio caster
retrieve the original feed, and I still had, I always save a
copy of my feet. So for that, I can restore that restored that
but then, you know, then curio caster has to wait 15 minutes to
break through the cat or sovereign fees to break through
the cache. Okay, so I finally got the old feed now goes to the
whole thing. I do it properly. I publish. It takes forever Of
course, you know, pod but no one knows what's going on. Every app
interprets that differently. So some people have a double A one
episode, the episodes are out of order. It has this different art
on the right. I mean, it's a fucking mess. And
we show actually, we show works. So wonder what we have in the
index what it looks like.
What do you mean? I didn't screw that one up.
Now I'm saying I wonder how we interpreted
Oh,
did you check we I'm looking at it now we show. It should be
right. It looks like everything is correct. Except the title for
forcing it. 1472 is 1471.
No, no, it's reversed and see. The reverse in order. Says
you're 71 only. Oh god, did I even do the
be looking at the looking at the index?
Did I not? Did I might not make it episodes. 1472. Oh, man,
it's wrong in the fall.
Oh my god. I see. And well, well, yay. So that's what I mean
is like, shit happens. But oh, man. It's not so much that, you
know, I can't you know, people are like, Hey, man, you messed
up. Okay, that's easy enough. But the amount of people who
tell you hey, man, and the amount of tweets and emails and
yeah, so anyway, my own fault.
This is when things go when when disaster happens in the phone
and the phone starts ringing off the hook. You know, what I
usually say is okay. Would you like to stay on the phone and
talk about this?
Would you like me to go? And they'll say,
Well, the same your choice.
Same thing with dog catcher every day. There's someone who
says, hey, hey, I can't get get the no agenda show on dog
catcher anymore. Yeah, but most people now i'd now I know what
to say them. And I say hey, man, here's what's going on and say,
oh, okay, I got you. Form Letter, your reply with no, it's
not. It's not a form letter. Okay, but people say yeah, you
know what, they never really did this or that. And so maybe it's
time to get a new app, but a lot. This is how dedicated
people are to the apps.
As find it hard to be dedicated to an app that's been abandoned.
Like, I mean, it's I love sticking with apps clearly. I
mean, I stuck with a bad version of pod paying until I beat me in
the ass. But like, Well, Dave, I'm all I'm all about it. But I
just I mean, how do you stick with an app that the developer
has literally said, you know, I'm just not going to do this
anymore.
I still use freedom controller.
I couldn't resist.
I didn't come here for this abuse. Just messing
me the brother.
Yeah, no, I just think it's time to move on from that app.
Oh, yeah, definitely. But it's just, you know, just when it
comes to, hey, we're just talking about software and how
it all sucks and things break and it all depends on the people
who are involved in it to make it work or not or care
about pod pink cloud for
a second. Yes, because this was the other disaster.
And it also leads to to another to an opportunity to hear so.
But yeah, so piping
a good explainer for the newbies on pod ping.
Okay, yeah, so pod ping is. Pod ping is a notification system
for podcast activity that rides on the hive blockchain. Hive is
a public A blockchain is very fast, it's it puts a new block
out every three seconds. So what we do is, or excuse me what,
what piping does is when you, you can write a JSON blob to the
hive blockchain. And that JSON blob can contain URLs of
podcasts feeds, and a reason and potentially a medium attached to
them. So you can say, okay, no agenda show updated. And this is
the reason why it updated. Here's an update. And you could
say it's because it went live, or because the feed changed or
blah, blah, blah, you put that on the blockchain. And then
within you know, within seconds, everybody, it becomes public,
and everybody can see no agenda changed, or whatever, you know,
the podcast is. So that's, that's the Quickie overview of
the way of what pod pain does. And we so then you there's
there's two components to it, you have what we call the hive
writer, which writes the the pod pain, nobody notifications to
the blockchain, then you have the hive watcher, which watches
the blockchain to read the notifications as they come by
block by block. And so we, the issue there is you have to have
what are called hive posting keys, like you have to have
permission, in essence to write to the hive blockchain. And the
permission that you get is through the delegation of their
hive coin. That's, you know, their cryptocurrency. That
which when you say permission, that's the technical version of
permission, but anybody can can acquire that permission and
write to the to the blockchain for this, correct?
Yes. If they own coin, yes, if they get a stake if they can
stake owned coin. Yes. So in order that's, that's a, that's a
roadblock or that's, that's a
mental roadblock for for many, I'm sure. Yeah. And
it was a practical roadblock to at first, because I still may be
this way, for all I know, I mean, it's not easy to buy to
buy hive coin to begin with. I mean, it was a cumbersome
process. And so we were like, well, the hive blockchain is is
stable, and it's good for this purpose in but, I mean, the last
thing we want to do is say, hey, blueberry, here's what you need
to do this and pod things. Go buy you some hive is like that,
no, no, that's just enough. And I don't want to get into pimp
and cryptocurrencies on people, okay, is like not going to
happen. So what we we took, we've created a thing called pod
bean dot cloud. And pumping out cloud is we do all of the
posting to the blockchain to the hive blockchain in the
background. And all you have to do is send a URL of your feed
and a rate and potentially in the future a reason code, send a
URL of your feed to piping dot cloud. And then we already have
the staking and then all this stuff set up in the background
with posting accounts. And we just write it to you to the
blockchain on your behalf. It just takes all of the messy
cryptocurrency weirdness away from it. So that's the patreon
dot cloud service
with the with with the result being that that is a true
history of what is updated in podcasting. And it has a lot of
that detail. And of course, the pointer to each RSS feed.
In that sense, it's an untapped resource, honestly, of
historical stats, and yeah, all kinds of things. So so that's
what poppin dot cloud is. And in its its consists of five
servers, three in the United States, one in Australia, one in
Europe. They're globally there load balanced geo location load
balance. So when you send a URL to the piping cloud service, it
chooses the load the nearest server to it to you. And uses
that. As its as its, as its point. It's just a web it's each
server has two parts. It's a web server front end it's a binary
just a single binary. And on the back end, it's it connects with
the hive writer, Python script through a through zero MQ Z MQ,
which is just an A an advanced socket architecture socket
service. Meaning like, you know, just like you saw any kind of
Unix socket, or TCP socket, you can, it can set itself up is
that but then it gives you the ability to do all kinds of fun
stuff like many to one or one to many or queuing and oh, that
sounds really
fun.
It's great. to try. And so anyway, that it's it's in
essence, it's a fairly fairly simplistic system, you send a
URL to the piping front end and the web server accepts it, sends
it through the zero MQ socket. Hive writer gets it writes it to
the blockchain done. Well, the I have not touched the piping
servers in a couple of months. And I don't really think about
it. And what what we do in the index is if you are a host that
supports pod ping, and sends pod pings, we don't pull you
anymore, right? If so, that would be Buzzsprout rss.com.
No pausing for you.
transistor, Captivate pod serve just the whole point. get thrown
at Yes, exactly. And there's no there's more cast, cast a
seriously simple podcasting plugin through cast dos as the
Mars a lot. So, yeah, and we're eating our own dog food. There's
like, Okay, well, this, we were saying that this is the way that
things should work. So everybody stops polling. Well, I'm not
just going to keep polling. I'm gonna I'm going to plant my
flag.
Yes. And how'd that work out?
It blew up. It did not work. Yeah, no, no, it
was working fine. I
guess. It was it was working fine for a long time. And
because there's three servers in the US, what had happened was
one of them, the hive writer had locked up and frozen. With a
with a head frozen with a with an exception. He had raised an
exception that did not crash the process. So the process was just
sitting there stuck. And then about a few weeks later, another
one did the same thing. But there's still one over here
left, is this getting traffic? And since the front end, the web
server is still accepting URLs. Glad happily and just sticking
them in the queue?
Did you just have a huge queue? Yeah,
the queues just like, you know, it has 50,000 feeds in it. No.
Yeah, no, but but because pod things are still coming through
to the chain. I didn't realize anything was wrong. I thought it
was just raw, stink, things are still coming through because of
that. 1/3 that third server, this being a troopers still
doing his job. And then, then Alberto and johnsburg sent me a
message like, hey, you know, Spurlock stats are showing that.
There's been a big drop off in rss.com feed updates in my
house. That's weird America. And really, nobody's contacted me
about it. In there, like we're trying to think figured out,
maybe it's a caching issue. And I'm like, you know, of course, I
didn't go out to eat down like yo, yo, yes. Caching shuffle.
DNS DNS, obviously. Yeah,
it clearly DNS. I wasted my time. So then, I'm like, okay,
yeah, that's probably then Alberto delays his pod things by
like, two minutes. He's like, Nah, that's not it. Something's
wrong. And I go hunting, and I find that it's frozen, and like,
Oh, shoot. Okay. So I've been visiting.
This is interesting. Let me just interject. I follow the pod ping
stats bot, on podcast index dot social. And for weeks, I because
for some reason, I'm like, the post count to me was just like a
metric. So this thing will scroll by him and like 3.1, post
3.3, you know, per minute, it's, I don't even know what it means
post count is 20 704. And it says in parentheses, 3.1 posts
per minute. And I always felt that that gave me some kind of
impression of it's being used more. And for the past two,
three weeks, I recall distinct like 22, five 2.1. That's much
lower than a year. I don't even know what it means. But now, I
just go to it right now. 5.1. So that's probably your cue is
getting getting. I mean, it's, I think that is are you looking at
the chart? Like I know, I'm looking at I'm looking at the
just the the the toots, the automated post. Yeah, the
automated post. And I have a feeling that I could see that
happening. I just didn't know what it was. Okay. It was
probably processing less posts per minute, or is that just my
perception? It doesn't matter. No, no,
no, there's definitely less coming through for sure. Yeah,
absolutely. And that and that was the case. And but because
there was some coming through. I did yeah, I'm looking. I'm
looking at it here on these charts and that you can see the
slowdown, because there was some coming through. I just it just
didn't Register there's anything wrong. And so yeah, and I went
for wasn't figured out what was wrong and look, I gotta fix
this. But this has happened before I've seen it do this
before. And turns out I was way behind in in in the hive router
has changed is changed hive libraries, it doesn't even use
the same library anymore. Alex Gates has done a lot of work on
it. And I was not current. So I'm like, I don't want to fool
with this, but I gotta bite the bullet update these servers to
the most current version.
Dave, I'm going to tell you right now that my Windows
machine is about to crash. Oh, you can feel it coming. Yeah, it
just did that whole thing again, that it did yesterday.
Now okay, we made it back. Unfortunately, I didn't record
everything that was a spectacular blue screen of
death. Why don't you What do you want to hear about it?
Why didn't you handle your system thread exception is what
I wanted to discuss was unhandled because
I didn't like handling it. But did you see what it is? NDIS dot
sis. Is this like a networking thing? Some networking resource?
In India is I should know this
sounds like something lame.
India now that's a drive network driver. Interface Specification.
Yes. network driver.
Yeah. Well, what are they doing? What's the problem?
I blame the road caster. Okay.
Perfect. All right. You were talking about the broken pod
pain cloud watcher?
Oh, yeah. Yes, I was. Yeah, so the pug the so I had to upgrade
it and get get to the newest version. And I'm like, Okay,
well, if I'm gonna do this, let's just go Docker. And so
I've just put Docker did the full upgrade on on all five
servers. Docker, latest Docker Hub image is running on the
running hive rider. Alex helped me work through some networking
issues. Docker is a little confusing sometimes. Because you
your your Net ID, you have a net network, the Docker, the the
private Docker network internal is not this is
yes, yes, I have. I have noticed this. It's very, it's very
complicated for non non smart people.
Like me, it's complicated even for from smart people. We got to
fix it. He anticipated this issue. And we got it fixed. He
had some environment variables we could say. So it's up and
running. And now. So it in that problem is that problem was
solved. I'm keeping an eye on things and I'm gonna. But so as
as going through this process of which I should have done a
couple of months ago John Spurlock had sent a somebody had
posted something on the podcast index and social the other day
saying that, you know, why don't you make it once you put an
endpoint on the API for people that have a rewrite key, so that
they can send a pod pain through the API? And I think that's a
fantastic idea.
Yeah, it's a valid entry point, right?
Yeah. I mean, if you if you're a PA, if you have a publisher key,
meaning you're a host, if you have a publisher level
permission token, for the A for the podcast, index API, why not
just make an endpoint where you can send the piping that way?
Yeah. And you can do live, you know, you can say do a live
piping through that. And I think that's a fantastic idea. And
and, um, now that now that I've gone through the process and
understand
the reason why it will be great. Yes.
Yes. And, and I know how to, I can quickly get get that, that
new duck, it's a duck arised version. What was odd is I've
never really interacted with a Docker image like this. So
typically, you think you know, when think Docker, you think of
long running processes day and network like Damon's Oh,
yeah, think of these things all the time. Yes, equally unclear
to you do.
And you think of server services. You can also interact
with it as a command line utility. So you can run
something in a Docker, but call it like a command line, where it
just spins up, does the thing and then exit exit? Oh, that's
kind of cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
And I didn't really, really big shell script.
Very heavy ships. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And so that, I think I can
do that on the API side. And then, and then have a similar
thing and that's Cool because that would let that would let us
allow hosting companies to use the API which they already have
keys for, to send live notifications. They can record
they can short cut their, their, their travel their, their road
to supporting live pod pings using something they're already
familiar with. Was the API. Nice. This is now this is now
firmly on the roadmap
that was it is this is this a pimp?
This is pimp one. Okay,
because I heard Sam Sethi had with Oberto, they had already
claimed pimped to
what what was pent one,
whatever yours was they were doing pimp to whatever you got
his pin one.
Okay, this is okay, this is like GN us not Unix. This is a way
they call those a regret regresses acronym or no the
acronym contains itself. Yes what this is so pimp pimp one is
the is the proposal
is the pimp system. Okay, so then they are pimp two and
three. This is pin three. Okay. Podcast improvement movement.
Proposal.
No, no, no, I've got I've got it. I figured it out this week.
It just hit me like a ton of bricks. It is the proposal to
improve podcasting.
Oh, perfect. Yeah, proposal to improve podcasting. Love it.
Yep. This Yep. Okay, so pin three is now
that do we have a pimp system? Not yet. Right. In
my heart. I do. Okay. At heart, I'm a pimp.
You're the Huggy Bear of podcasting development that you
get there, right?
Yeah, so that's this, the fact that your computer blue screen
today is the perfect accoutrement to the entire week
of software disasters. I mean, it's just perfect.
It has something to do with astrology, I'm convinced.
Is a Venus in the orbit of Yeah. Do
you know? What's a cold fan? He also he also boosts us from time
to time. T does
he behind the scheme's? No, no, no, no, no,
I don't think so. No. Tarot cards. Oh, okay. Yeah, then that
must be blueberry blueberry. No, it's a cult fan. I will call not
blueberry now a cold fan? No. And he sends my I love it when
people draw my chart and they'll send it to me and like, and this
and this and Uranus and Mars and Venus and Jupiter and the sun
and your moon is in Leo moon. But they never say if it's good
or bad. It sounds like this is what's happening. Like, well,
that's great. Should I be worried about getting shots? Or
am I gonna win the lotto? And it's well, you know, I don't
know, but
depends on your point of view.
I do feel that all computers are made of sand. Basically, Silica
is silicon. So you know, there is not there are natural
elements in them. And I've always felt that you know,
that's manipulable by the vibrations of the of the user.
Please note, I was bitching and saying I'm moving to Linux and
then what is my machine do? Hello? You telling me it doesn't
have a conscience?
Oh, yeah, it said it said Oh, yeah.
lol really? Watch this. We've been getting a lot of live
booster rounds. We run through a few. Based upon the crash I had
floydian slips. 2222 Adam was a pioneer in the podcasting
industry. You're going to miss his hair. He is survived by a
slew of podcast co hosts co hosts and just as many wives fu
floor the RIP pod father Dave should have held your hand
tighter unfortunately no one we didn't catch that on the
recording. It was like a titanic moment as my blue screen had me
slipping away.
You dropped in you dropped into the into the ravine three is not
getting hold you
3000 from Sakai, the horse. Adam and Dave after a year of
listening to this podcast, I decided to get a new podcast app
join the funnest since the Toshi thank you for your guys hard
work keeping the podcast free and open everyone there you go
brand new. Brand new SAT streamer. Thank you
took a year. I'm really bad at my job. Uh, Chris,
you know 3000 plus one for raspy blitz so far, it's been quite
smooth compared to that Umbral story. I can tell you my raspy
bliss story if you want I've had upgrade issues with raspy blitz
big time. Well, here we are Mike Newman 1010100 101,010 SATs
binary boosts looking forward to trying out John Spurlock's
thread dot land go podcast podcast Yeah, this is should we
talk about that for a second?
Yeah, let's do it. I was had put it in the show notes. Yeah, I
also had the show notes.
I tried to get John on But I don't think he saw my, I don't
think he saw my message to him in time. It was very late in the
game, because I wanted to talk about it. I mean, I think I
think this is fantastic. He's, he's essentially created a
service, a headless service, if you want to call it that, where
you can just go and get a prefix for your, your, for your feed
for your podcast. And then anytime you need, you can just
throw a value on the end of that prefix. And it just auto
generates a activity pub route URL for you to put into your
into your items. Really, and, and it doesn't actually, I may
be wrong. This is one of the reasons I want to get them in.
But my understanding of the way that is worded is that it
doesn't actually create the post, or no activity happens
until the first comment.
Ah, wow, this I just, I just typed in a URL was like, holy
crap that works nicely.
Yeah. I think it I think it's just basically activity pub.
objects on demand. Nice, which is kind of killer,
Joe.
I mean, I'm not sure anybody's done. I may be wrong, but I'm
not sure anybody's done. Activity pub to this level of
deinem dynamicity. Time dynamic bonus.
Now I just tried to do our feed, will that not work because of a
redirect?
They should we if you get you gotta get the prefix. Did you
get the prefix? No, I
just typed in the feed. And listen, man, I'm really good at
breaking stuff. I just want everyone to understand that this
is what I do. It is. Let me see. I mean, if you if you just go
there to thread dot land and what is our what is our feed 26
is now what is our feed address? What does what feed addressing
says find your podcast? I'll just find your podcasts. I'm
gonna try this pod.
Yeah, type in podcast.
She does a search right there. Are you kidding me? Man, we
still do some amazing shit here. to Florida. What are you
laughing? We build some amazing shit. Alright, so there's our
prefix. Okay, I got that. And then what do I do for each
episode? You want to enable comments and your RSS feed uses
prefix and a unique suffix. So that would be I do like, PC two?
Oh, 95. Right.
Or not? Yeah. Yeah, that sounds that sounds great. And
that's and it's and he says that's it? That's yeah, that's
it.
And it creates the activity pub object. When? When nothing when
the first reply happens. So
should we use it for even though you usually do the thing on? Now
let's do it. Let's do it. Yeah, let's use it for this one. I'd
like that.
Okay, so he says kind of important note. This service is
still in development and doesn't actually work yet. So don't make
any real feed changes. I'm making it available pre initial
launch to engage engagements. I think it does work. I think he's
just setting expectations.
Okay, so I have this prefix and then slash and then I do I'll
just do 95 Just to make it simple. Okay, that makes sense.
Okay. Yeah. All right, cool. Well, that that kind of solves
everything, doesn't it? Or it solves a lot gets a lot of
things started.
And he says, if you're interested in using this service
for your podcast, DM me on Twitter or Mastodon with your
prefix URL above, and I'll add you to the early access list.
Probably shouldn't better do that. Okay. Wait, does your no
let's go ahead and do it. Now. What is your disk prefix you
show? Is it seven G O P six? LC Yes, sir.
All right.
I'm gonna send that to John as we speak.
Okay. All right. We're getting we're getting connected here.
Yeah, I mean, this is this is, this is dog food. We're gonna
eat it. Say Hey, John.
I'll continue with some of these boosts that came in while you're
dictating your note. Yeah, as a C Brooklyn 111 to 5000
sharpening those scissors indeed. Thank you. Let's see we
have pre blueberry 17,776 Urgent this boost is racist. All right,
thanks. Called acid 20,003 33 posts troubleshooting boost for
95. Yeah, these people are so nice to hanging while you're
doing all that crap. Crimson deer 10,001 Breeze boosts This
is nice. Thank you all. Thank you fellows and ladies And
there's hard hat with the with the testing 111 1111 And I think
that's Oh no we had blueberry come in with a super row of
ducks 22,222 st oh my goodness pay tar is a confirmed known
goat slaughtering maniac oh I guess I guess it would yeah this
is that you know those people are crazy blueberry and all
these these these guys go nuts with their with their live shows
he murdered approximately 15 goats and boosted the GIMP live
in the greenroom last week see this code here? Producers were
doing drugs just to cope while Alex Jones was shouting yay in
the background what a mess we're gonna need a black light boost
get this cleaned up. So what there this is, from what I
understand this is the this is the the bot they had set up so
people could fire off their own. That heli pad sounds with a
boost. I mean the idea is really cool. I like it a lot.
He clarified later and said that it has you can fire off sounds
but it has to be approved sounds that they
that yeah, they have to put it in beforehand. Sure that makes
sense. Because
I'm thinking if you want to go full on scissor nuts go you just
drop it you say Okay, put a URL to an mp3 in your boost and
that's where it gets triggered and dad is now
I've had a sign I have some experience with this
bar Friday.
Yeah, and and what I said what I had I was using early Dropbox I
said hey, here's my Dropbox, just put something in there and
then I'll play it which was great. Which was great until
every single drop box I had was filled because of course I was
like look here's these 15 Pink Floyd albums so if what you're
gonna wear you're gonna have as you're gonna have someone firing
it up and you're gonna have a 20 minute song running so yeah,
that always works in very limited flavors.
Unlimited flavors Yeah, so that I love the I love the idea of
here's what I like about this conceptually about what John did
is very similar to what what Alex is doing with with no
agenda tube and and what Andy layman is doing with with his
vape with his podcasting 2.0 WordPress plugin and like the
way Allah this this is what happens when you like it's one
thing to have an idea we can all we all have ideas but that that
doesn't mean yea have your idea but he put some meat on those
bones like actually make something that somebody can use
that because if you don't and and brown brown of London with
with with the highs with the highs, machine and like and pod
pink, go don't just come up with an idea come up with an idea and
then and then put some flesh on it. So that it's it's
functional. Because that's the difference between Okay, let me
compare the compare pod ping pong just take it taking popping
and random ninja netlist, let's scrap that take social interact
tag and thread land. Compare that to something like pod Pass,
which was developed as a home pod pass. Okay, yeah, pod pass,
we've talked about before it was developed as a protocol, a
protocol proposal for how to enter for how apps can do
subscription can confirm that they're subscribed to a private
feed. Or it can subscribe to a subscription level feed in in an
open way. It's a nice, it's a nice design. It's pretty cool.
It was proposed and a few years ago before the pandemic, but it
was just a spec sheet. Like it was just a spec as a spec
protocol, right. There was never any software that showed it
running, showed it doing what it was supposed to do. Allow people
to hook into it and sandbox it and play with it. Like if you
don't, this is why podcasts. This is another reason why
podcasting has tended to stagnate is because lots of
people have great ideas. But nobody's actually writing usable
code that can help people get from the concept to the finished
product. Well, everybody's busy.
I would say this is what hampers humanity in general Dave,
everybody has great ideas. But it always comes down to
execution.
Yeah, true. And we've got to hate the ideas guy, you know?
So we've got a lot of executioner's. I like it. We've
got people podcasting. 2.0 executioner's. Hail the
executioner's they. They absolutely execute. That's the
same with what is that new art? Wasn't there some media RSS? No.
Or was it the one with the math?
The one with the math. RSS. 3.00. Yeah. RSS 3.0. You bring
your own. You have to have a slide rule and a copy of Wolfram
Alpha to write a podcast feed.
Yeah. Yeah.
I don't think I've mentioned that the other day.
I don't think I've seen one of those in the wild yet either.
You never will. That's yeah, that's the problem. You'll never
see one of those things in the world. By the
way. I'm gonna watch it tonight. Since Tina and I are both kind
of icky mood. Anyway, it is Danny Kaye a song is born. Oh,
is the name of the movie it is. Danny Kaye Houma. I'm gonna
second will that play with her gangster? Benny Goodman, the
whale of Benny Goodmans clarinet. The whale I like to
moan of Tommy Dorsey's trombone. I'm reading the titles. The shit
they were saying the Mon the call of Louis Armstrong's
trumpet. Anyway, with their gangster boyfriend under
investigation by the police, a nightclub singer hides out in a
musical research institution staffed by bachelor professors.
What could possibly go wrong? One of whom begins to fall for
her. Yeah, that see.
innuendo? No. Yes. In the 50s It's,
it's it's borderline blackface movie this 19 That's no good.
Yeah. 1948 48
I didn't realize Danny Kaye went back that
far. I think so. Yeah. The 48. Yeah. You know, he's down. He
must have been young. He knows. Did you know he's dead? Yeah.
He's buried in Danny case, too. I don't know. Kevin rook, have
you been listening to his podcast?
I started listening to. I've been on his podcast. I've
listened to several of his episodes. And I recently went
back and about halfway through the Paul E. Toy Interview.
Interview. Yes, great interview. It really helped me understand
Paul a little bit better. I think.
Your view basically nothing changed. Their mission has
always been the same. They just stopped the non profitable
podcasting stuff. Yeah, right. Honestly, that's, that's all
that's what it was. Yeah, that's fine. I mean, he has a real
company that does real stuff. And, and the entire sphinx chat
and the and the integration, the interrupt we did was
instrumental is one who is what got this all kickin, basically
the the value for values.
And I guess I liked it, too, because he, he, he described his
interaction with lightning, in, in a very sort of blue collar
utilitarian way. He's like, he's like, wait, you know, all the
things we've done with lightning have been purely in service of a
mission of an of a larger goal, which was the stack work thing
and that kind of thing? In it kind of relates back to what we
were saying just a second ago with don't just have an idea.
Have some have some? Give it feet? Yeah. Because when you
like, the same, our interaction with lightning is also very
utilitarian and very blue collar. I mean, we need to get
we need to get a job done.
Yeah, we need to scream them SATs, we need to write those
SATs everywhere.
And it allows us to spray them. And that's, but I think I think
that's a fine. I think that's a fine position to have. And it
may it makes a lot of sense for them. Because you're gonna go
through phases where it's like, well, I mean, I am the job is
not to be the you know, the champion of of a thing the job
is to, is to improve the thing is to improve the thing in on in
but on behalf of the larger goal.
And also, I mean, I apologize, we basically ran them into the
ground on that, you know, when we broke we broke their self
well, who will not there's not necessarily their software, but
the concept of everybody gets their own node and you don't
have to worry about your channel management. And that was
impossible because it wasn't just here's the sat here sat
there. 20 SATs for this. No, it's like boom booths,
everything going on, and it was just too much. It was way too
much.
Yeah, it broke that system. Yeah. Yeah, the distributed node
model thing. Yeah. Yeah. But the reason I brought up Kevin Brooks
because he had an interview with Christian Decker, that's a very
good interview, because he talks about a lot of what brought it
up, as Brian of London was mentioning a lot of things, a
lot of problematic things with lighten lightnings frustrating
things that he this week, that's worth going and listening to the
interview, because he talks about, I mean, these are known
issues, the problem that fixes are in the works for one, one of
the things is, is liquidity offers, and how you can just as
part of, as part of the standard lightning gossip, you'll be able
to, to announce the offer of liquidity. And that will be
negotiated. Like, in in, in the software in the notes, software.
And then you can just, you know, bring up bring up some liquidity
when you need it without having to go through loop or pool or
any of these sort of liquidity service providers. Because that
I think that's a real fear out there is that there's going to,
you know, everything's gonna get concentrated in the hands of
sort of these big liquidity providers. And this is a way to
combat that. And it makes it more efficient to because you
just always would have these offers floating around the
network for liquidity. And you just, you know, you,
programmatically or Software wise negotiating the acceptance
of an offer, and then you gotta channel and you may have
somebody who's that, that allows small players to participate in
that game as well, to offer liquidity instead of everybody
just defaulting because you don't want you don't want
somebody to become the YouTube of liquidity. You know, or the
Google of lightning liquidity. You want it to be democratized.
And you want small, somebody that just has $1,000 on their,
on their node, you want them to be able to also offer liquidity
services at at cheaper rates as a competition to the big guys.
Well, what's
interesting is that many of these liquidity type services
are brokered by centralized players. This is what lightning
labs tried to do with pool which I never quite understood just
never is it really which which interview wasn't
Christian Decker
Christian, is that an older one?
And those recent, recent, he's the guy from green light. Yeah,
no block stream? Yeah,
I'll have I'll have to look. It's not on this page yet. Okay.
Well, you know, what I, first of all, the Lightning Network.
There's so many private channels that we have no idea what's
going on. And in its massive, massive, massive amount that's
just for, for a traders moving shit back and forth real quick.
What I like about the Lightning Network is, you know, we have
over 140 small channels connected to the podcast index
node, and we route pretty efficiently for what we're
doing. It's not, you know, people need to be able to get
stats into their wallet, and to the podcaster. And because we're
part of a hub system, there's many other players who provide
provide connectivity and liquidity. You know, I, for some
reason, it doesn't, it's never felt. It's like the Internet to
me, you know, it's like, do, we basically have our own public
private network, where most of our shit traverses over our
pipes, but it can go anywhere else, and anywhere anyone else
can come in. I've never seen it as this network where everyone
has to do a certain thing, or you have to have big liquidity.
I don't know. It's just you and I could just have a channel
between us and just be sending stuff. That's kind of the appeal
to me is I don't feel like I'm left out or I'm not a player
because I don't have 100 Bitcoin on a channel.
That feels the same way. Yeah, I feel the same way. I felt the
entry points are small. Yeah. And.
And, you know, the same holds true is what you were saying
like lots of people like hey, man, you should do this with
eath.
Yeah.
Oh, no. Hey, look, here's the spec. Go ahead and do it. Okay.
Crickets. They don't ever do it. No, they never never never do
it.
Hey, Brian Brown of London did it. He didn't. Nobody used him
but he sure did. He sure did. So I mean, given give that guy all
the kudos.
Do you have any clips you want to play? Because I've seen these
for a couple shows. Now.
I've been dragging these guys don't
bring them next week if you don't want to play?
Yeah, they're bothering you.
Well, I just feel bad. They're in the well, you know, it's like
the like little children drowning in this well for weeks.
Probably nothing, nothing you want to
know. Do you A hit the Volcker one. That's a fun one. Volcker.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, Paul is this Paul Volcker?
Yeah. Paul Volcker. So So here's, you know, I've been
reading this book,
the former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker. Yeah. former
Fed chairman, former and he, in the end, he's talking about this
book in there. And what's the secrets of the temple is the
name of this book. And it's written by Grider. William
Greider, is that the guy's name? I'm gonna have to look this up.
So great. Greater. Yeah. William greeter, I guess it says, the
psyche died in 2019. It's an older book. I think it's from
maybe the late 90s. But it's about the Volcker fed. And in
during the Jimmy Carter, starting Jimmy Carter, Ronald
Reagan era where he raised the interest rate
to 20%.
Yes. And so. It it's a big book, let me I think it's like 800
pages. It's a myth. It's a monster. But it's a dip into it
every night. I'm making my way through it. And it is. It is
very, very good. It goes, he takes a super deep dive this he
wrote for The Washington Post back when the Washington Post
actually did real journalism. He. So he dives into what
happened to sort of kick off the 70s inflation problem, late 70s
inflation problem, and then how it like step by step, the
different people involved, how they came to power, what they
did, all along the way to combat the problem. And hit this is
what he's talking about in the clip. Yeah, well, a lot of
times, they take it as a measure of their valor, of how much pain
they're willing to inflict for the greater good and that kind
of thing. That's how they know they're doing the right thing,
and how under Volker it was murder, how he forced a
depression on the American people, which he did, it was the
only way to defeat inflation which his predecessors had
caused. And now here, he came in, to lick inflation. But that
did mean bankruptcies all across the land by people who weren't
guilty enough and but who just got caught up in the monetary
policy of their overlords might as well be a million miles away.
And they kept statistics of how many bankruptcies, you know,
personal and business, how many divorces how much foster care
how much whatever statistics that you can measure. So, you
know, church attendance or whatever, however, you measure
social crises, they measure it at the Fed, they count those
beans. And then they would say, you know, good for you, Jenkins,
that you're willing to hang tough on this policy for another
little while longer.
Yeah, that's a real recession.
Yeah. And then they would, they would say, Okay, this is, this
is how bad it's getting. And they would turn the turn the
dials according to how much pain was going on in the economy less
sick, absolutely sick. And then in the congratulatory note of,
you know,
well done. Job well done. Well, you know, so what we said, it's
so moronic, the response we see now. First of all, word, and you
know what, now, we've redefined the wiki, they literally
redefined the technical definition of a recession on
Wikipedia and locked down the page. Are you serious? Yeah. Cuz
it used to be to, you know, two negative quarters in a row of
GDP, to negative growth. And, and so now that's changed to
including all these other things, you know, it's not
really that and then I just locked it down. You can't edit
anymore. Oh, it's controversial. But But forget that we have the
inflation Reduction Act. This is brilliant. This is the thing
that mentioned, just signed on to
Oh, I saw this past today, right? Yeah. So it's
$369 billion to reduce the inflation, you see. Because,
yeah, sure. Because this will fix everything is like, okay, is
the pain the pet? Yes, that pain of the 70s, which you probably
don't remember any of that.
That was born in 76. So I was a little younger, but, but I do
distinctly here's what I distinctly remember from that
era. I remember my dad having having job after job after job
after job. He was. I mean, he could not keep a job for longer
than six months. It was just I was that his number that was
that his drinking or was it the meth?
Yeah, I mean it's like he went in he had to go to one company
and he was he was a programmer. He would go to one company they
would go bankrupt you go to another company they would they
would down they would lay everybody off you get on it was
just
was like Tammy Tina grew up in Indiana Midwest and her dad now
he was allowed singer which was a different different problem.
But know this about Tina and that's Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh,
no. All the girls know all the lyrics. And yeah, he had he had
a band man he had like horns and everything, you know, kind of
like KC and the Sunshine bamboo. No, no, he was he was he was
swinger. The Tony Allen knees. But but you know, the steel mill
close. Yeah, well, they laid off half the workforce. You know,
it's like, Okay, goodbye, everybody. Then what do you do?
Well, what happens is everything becomes dirt poor and
impoverished
it in that I remember my dairy
Indiana right there.
Oh, that was bad. Yeah. And it's ground zero for some bad stuff.
Yeah, I remember my dad went from he went from a
involuntarily went from white collar blue collar. At one
point, because he was, you know, he's a programmer. He's doing
you know, in this, this was back during the days of IBM System
36. Pray this is the precursor today as for hundreds and mid
range, mainframe level stuff. So then he he just got laid off,
could not find a programming job. Got in any sort of any way
it started going hang a sheet rock. And then had a string of
of those jobs until the economy began to recover a little bit.
But I mean, if it goes bad, meaning it got to the point
where he had to just find any job he could not be, you know,
well, these days, and we're not there yet. We're not there yet.
Oh,
no, no, no, this it will be very interesting to see what happens.
But considering the the changes in attitude are, Gee, I don't
know, first of all, you know, part of those problems came from
leaving the gold standard than creating the petro dollar. Now
the petro that when Petro was under attack, so it was the
petro dollar. And we've just inflated the crap out of it. We
just printed too much. And it's because of the thinking of
modern monetary theory. Yes, yes. So that thinking wasn't
around before. And now it's like, well, you can just print
whatever you want. And to some degree, it's true as long as you
have money to start with as long as as long as you're in the in
the right circles print as much as you want. We'll just get more
on the way out.
I mean, I would say modern monetary theory is not that much
different than than just basic Keynesianism, but I think people
were just too scared to do it before. Now. They're just now
There they are. They're not scared. Now, it's just like,
Okay, go go, go, go go now. Like all the bets are off, and
they're just they're just printing as fast as they can.
Seems like it seems like it I've gotten an ISO I think it's
pretty red. All right.
See what this is here we go. How
long is this gonna take?
It's just so people can just have random ringtones we just
seemed appropriate for this week.
No kidding. It's been an interesting one. Shall we
software disaster week, shall we thanks some people who supported
podcasting 2.0 And with that, I'm not talking about just this
podcast but the entire project is a value for value project.
It's open, anyone can join. The support and value you return is
what is used directly for running all of our servers for
keeping everything running smoothly for the liquidity on
the node. We have bills that we that we pay we don't pay
ourselves but we are very happy to continue to a shepherd
podcasting to a safer and doesn't sound right safer. I
don't like it being safe said protect the protected future. A
more protected future. Let's put it that way. Because there's a
lot of people out there that want to screw it. You know,
there's like going to get rid of RSS. And we can do it ourselves.
Well, we're putting a
force field around RSS that's the way to look at it we have
got some quite large pay bills. Oh, and this this. This should
excite you. I'm excited about it. Right out of the gate.

Buzzsprout $500
I'm gonna give them a ball or two blades on the Impala
interesting. I've always found that beautiful and fascinating
to see the hosting industry of podcasting stepped to the play,
and so appreciated.
I don't know if you listen to new media show. Of course you
listen to that to this to this week's episode. Yeah,
I started they have a new opening. I heard that they got a
new opening. Opening tune.
I heard that part. Sounded good. I thought I like it.
I like it. Much shorter. Yeah, let's just get straight to it.
Just good. Yeah, I was on I didn't it wasn't something I

Oh, yeah. It's those guys suck. But they taught you know, Todd
instructed his his staff to go listen to our show. Oh, no. Oh,
no. Yeah, he told me he's like, he's like, Y'all gotta go listen
to the show. He could get this is like,
it's not safe for work, Todd. People like hey, man, I'm
triggered by what I heard those guys talking about? I don't
know. Yes. HR problem.
And so he said, he said when once they they went listen to
the show, he said he asked him in the in a meeting, like, Okay,
what do you what are your thoughts about to show? And he
said, everyone on the first thing they said was, man is
long.
Really? This is nothing? Really?
Would you quit? I mean, that's what she said. But you want
to say,
but then, but is the show too long. We tighten this thing up?
No. I don't buy into that. You know, too long, too short.
Whatever. You hear. Okay. It's too long. Then do double speed.
Yeah, there you go. They get one and a half. 111 point. 5x.
Yeah. I don't know. It's, it's too long for busy developers, I
guess.
Maybe so. Okay, fountain labs. $200. Nice. You're in his

current rates.
apps you're in. You're in like Flynn. And thank you, everybody
for hearing the call and appreciate it. It's really
appreciated. That we are we've moved away from PayPal, we were
pretty much exclusively PayPal in the beginning. And we moved
over to to Satoshis and booster grams. And you're upping the
amounts to make it a little too evened it out and it's really
appreciated. It's very cool to see. I mean, this was one of the
things and like, will people be able to get out of the headspace
of I'm sending 1000 SATs, you know and it's not really quite
We need to keep the server running. And people have and
that's also part of the devs. You know, putting Fiat amount in
there. And it's, it's just beautiful to see it working.
And I love to. I love how it shows that this is not just tip
money. This is real. These are real booths. I mean to 222 2222

Okay, well, that's I mean, that's, that's real. That's real
money. This is not this is not a toy. Well, also,
we don't ask for tips. This is what I've always said. You asked
for tips, you're gonna get tips if you ask for support for
value, and you leave that open and whatever that value is, is
to be determined by the sender. This is what you get. Says it's
53 I'm sorry, it wasn't 100 bucks. $53.53. My mistake. He
says, Thanks, Dara.
Click requesting clarification on the SATs for T shirt
conversion long ago was pegged at 40k BTC. Recently, Adam
answered this question referencing the current price,
should it be weighted based on exchange? No, just you know,
it's roughly $125 worth of SATs, whatever that adds up to just do
your own accounting. It's fine. We're not we're not gonna get
all.
We're not gonna get too technical about that.
I get time for that. Thank you, Brian. Appreciate Tim Apple sent
us through fountains and as to 2222. And he says, after
listening to the talk with Chris about activity, pub, and apps
that provide comments and interaction. You guys forgot
about Casta pod, which is almost a mastodon instance. So true
podcast. That's
true. That's true. Did.
That's that's a shame. We absolutely forgot about cast.
But you know what, Ben, has not been pimping cast a pod very
much and that? Well, no, they had to release
pimps. While he was he did that whole quiz thing. So here's what
it is. I know what it is. He's French.
Is that the end of the sentence?
Comma, semicolon? No, it's it's it's not a complaint. In fact,
it's a it is aspirational, inspirational, aspirational. The
French, like many Europeans, they take a vacation. And when
it comes to summer, they take six weeks, and they eff off. And
they go through a lot and they and they do their things. And
then you know, and now of course, this is the communist
lifestyle. Which is incompatible with our capitalist pig agenda.
But that's what it felt like to me. It's like, oh, because I
know the Netherlands is the same way. It's summer, man. I'm not
gonna do too much and chill out a little bit.
You know, what else is the communist lifestyle? Ship
Breaking all the time?
What happened this week and Greg collars? Yes.
Yes, yes. Yes. Lots of bugs and things breaking this week. Now
you're okay. So, James Crillon. 1024 SATs at Killa boost? He

yourself than I do. Brian. Oh, he did a follow up with the 5000
sat boosted father Maybe? Or maybe 5000 for $1 equivalent and
20k right that said lower is better to encourage adoption.

that answers your question
is 3333 says from Salvador syntax through fountain Nene
says don't get on Tik Tok. Again, think that was a
chastisement of me probably. I've never been on Tiktok just
just to be clear, never in my life. 50,000 SATs from user
360539555413. From that is the user also known as Todd Cochran.
He says Todd Cochran here, gents, every show you guys put
my brain to work. I'm always trying to think as a creator
first. And as we educate creators on podcasting 2.0, they
will drive adoption as they will drive companies like mine to
adopt more integration. I'm committed to a faster
integration in our PowerPress plugin in our platform as a
whole big news in about a month or so. And something we have
cooking. Also, any dev wanting to submit code for podcast? 2.0
To PowerPress? drop me an email at todd@blueberry.com. Oh,
that's cool. Great note right now from Todd. Thank you, Todd.
Tina
has a message for you, Todd.
By the way, that that notion, I'm not saying this is what
he's, I'm not saying that this is what he is saying. But, but I
was thinking it's just on my mind, because I was thinking
about this yesterday. The idea that we need to wait until our
customer says they want it before we do it. And again, I'm
not saying that's what he's saying. But it can be
interpreted that way. Yes, there are some of those things. I
mean, like you can say, Okay, well, because, you know, and I
speak from experience on this because I mean, in my day job,
I'm responsible for a lot of things that end up being
customer facing. You can wait for your customer to say it to
tell you they want it. And that is an important part of of the
innovation of doing things for your customers and keeping them
satisfied and happy customers. But there's also another aspect
of sometimes you know, that they don't know that they want a
thing. So you yes, and yes,
Steve Jobs. Do you know what I mean? Of course,
that's true. I mean, it's like I I can see that they would want
this thing if they if they had it if it existed, but they don't
know to want it.
What? Okay, so going back to what we were talking about the
beginning of this very long episode. I'm just thinking of
the blueberry Deb's is workers we have we have competition. And
that's that is I'm telling I can see it. I'm my eyes are wide
open, we have competition in the hosting space. And everybody's
gotten a little a little a little jiggle. And like, Oh,
hey, let's do some stuff. And so now it's it's partially based on
what are other person's customers wanting or doing or
what are they providing for them. So now we're off to the
races. This is fantastic. And of course, what will happen is the
most requested features will be the ones that get implemented
first. And I think we'll see very quickly where things fall
out and what is completely, you know, just that has no adoption,
but the competition and I mean, that friendly, because everyone
competes one way or the other, but now we have a development
competition, or competitive. Everyone's looking at each
other. And this is good. This is very, very healthy. This is the
opposite of France.
Just kidding. It's the communist lifestyle.
I'm just kidding. Yeah, so and that's why people are busting
ass in the middle of the summer in America. It's like hey, well,
you gotta go build some new stuff.
Yeah. See dubs 1010 says he says please change boost bought to
wait please change boost dash I cannot read please change boost
space bought to boost bought one word in the split.
Oh gee. Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone will get
angry.
This se doesn't have to be the creator of booze bought me take
a
look. I'll do it right now. Oh, that's what does it have to be
boost. One word boost
but one word and take space out.
Okay. Consider a done.

from Tina from my wife. She's like, Hey man, you want a sleeve
of Oreos? Like what? This was back when we were first dating
and you know she would still smoke weed with me that ended up
in the marriage. You know, it's like okay, now you go over
there. Here's your garden Yes, right.

Okay, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
SCO TT again 2000 Sassy says sorry about my last Miss message
speech to text was on I thought I corrected before it was posted
I think the epitome of where we are in a technological landscape
is when you are sending a booster Graham through text to
speech that's or speech to text I should say
it that is I'll just stand back and appreciate yeah this is
really showed for a moment so you just driving in the car
you're like I'm gonna send these dudes message with some money a
just talk into your phone and it goes I mean come on. Magic
22 to 22 through from blueberry 22 to 23 found and he says oh my
goodness. Peter is a ptr is a confirmed known oh you use it?
This is you read this. This
is the one we read. Yeah. Yeah, so we're the only one we're
missing is the delimiter

Interesting, maybe that was a duplicate because that
okay, light Lyceum sent us 12,340 faststats. He says could
this be an appropriate symbolic number of Satoshis for your
work? My wallet is soon empty so I have to generate an invoice
and fund the wallet. But it didn't work at the moment. Dave,
thanks for keeping the database in shape. Adam, how's it going
with the manifesto? Oh, you can create a reference to the
booster gram numerology page on GitHub. Martin, Linda Skog
Lyceum on podcast index dial Most definitely. Of course
manifesto is coming last
even a but the question is, has he been able to put the row of
ducks? Was he doing a an update to the page and he crashed it.
So going on with that page was going to debate? Yeah, the
booths page. All right. Yes, of course.
Okay, here we go. 206,677 SATs. Oh, from Brian of London in the
hive Dao da Yes. Yep. Through the V four V app, he says Brian

I guess so he was I mean, he's posting pictures of Monaco and
all this kind of stuff. I
mean, do you get do you get the feeling that this is really his
family's yacht? And he's just pretending like Nah, I'm just

board meeting, of course this fabulous podcast.
I mean, clearly, we're too it's too long. We got obviously,
obviously, we had a lot of important things to bitch about
like oh shit, not working, which is always important. At the end
of the week for us to people
we get I got more stuff I want to talk about next. I mean, I'll
just push it to next week because it's probably needs big
discussion, but I want to bring back I want to consider polls.
In the namespace,
just to fuck with Spotify? Yes. I'm really not on board with
this. Really?
No. I mean, it's not just for that reason, but I mean, I
mocked polls and marked it. But now I'm really maybe useful. I
don't care about the polls themselves. I'm thinking the
technology of it may be useful.
Okay. So the typical, let's make some cool technology that no one
needs. Yes. Well, I would like to do polling, but more like
voting. If you if you do it with SATs, that work that I like. But
what was your going too deep into it? What? I mean, does
anyone on the podcast? Does anyone really want polling? I
mean, you're you're excited about the idea. So I'm intrigued
by why you're excited about the technology.
I was thinking hackathon. And that would get a screw it, let's
do it. The the hackathon needs a way to vote. And so I was
thinking, if you have I was trying to figure out how to make
that happen. And if and I'm like, okay, all, not all the
podcast 2.0 app support episode level splits yet. So what we
could do is create a new podcast, a dummy podcast, so to
speak, have everybody boost that podcast? In in a in some sort of
voting mechanism. And I started getting into this all this
complexity, and I'm like, Well, what if we just put a poll or
voting thing in? Webpage create the tag?
Okay. Let's, let's keep it there. Let's stop there. Because
the one important thing we need to do first is actually figure
out how we do the hackathon. True, which seems to be just an
idea, oh, is anyone going to jump up and take this hackathon
by the horns and shepherded and lead it and coordinated?
I'm hoping if I keep talking about it, somebody will do it.
Eventually, somebody will. This is something that someone could
participate in. I mean, it's, there's excitement for it. We
all want to do it. Nobody has time to organize it. Maybe
there's someone is a part of the overall podcasting 2.0 community
who would be interested in picking that up and running with
it? How about that?
Yeah, let's do this. I'm going to talk about hackathon and the
pimp system until some until people do it. I'm going to shame
them.
All right. I think the COVID has me now. Ready to end the show.
I'm tired. You're about Yeah,
I can hear it. I've
lost. Like okay, that was it. That's the energy you got for me
