Hey! I’m reviving my long-dormant #podcast, “The Shellsharks Podcast”. Exciting right?! In addition to the usual topics, i.e. "Infosec, Technology & Life", I'd like to spotlight awesome people from the #infosec community here on the #fediverse and discuss #indieweb and #personalweb topics. If that sounds cool or interesting, check out show page on my site where you can learn more.
It is 🆓 during the beta testing period, & you will need to bring your own domain. These are the only #ActivityPub platforms they are offering to freely host.
#Castopod e #brezhoneg !
Troet eo bet etrefas Castopod, ha gallout a rit merdeiñ war lec'hienn https://podkast.fedi.bzh (da skouer) e brezhoneg !
Dav eo deoc'h bezañ dibabet al locale br pe br-FR avat.
Upgraded Castopod to 1.10.3 and fixed a few minor broken settings. Things are working well! I just need to start working on making podcasts with #castopod at some point.
Cette fois-ci, avec @yassinedoghri et @benjaminbellamy, nous intéressons à sa communauté, son financement et l'offre SaaS proposée par Ad Aures.
Nous discutons aussi longuement de ce qu'est le Fediverse, et quelle est la place de Castopod dans celui-ci !
Petite nouveauté : après le génrique de fin il y a un petit bonus technique, où nous parlons de l'intégration ActivityPub, et d'#op3 (Open Podcast Prefix Project).
#castopod permette di creare #podcast ma anche di importare automaticamente podcast già presenti su altre piattaforme e questo costituisce un grande vantaggio rispetto a funkwhale.it in cui l'inserimento era solo manulale.
Partiamo con 15 podcast fantastici tutti federabili che potrete seguire anche da #mastodon.
Looks like whenever you create a new episode in #CastoPod (1.6.0), the shownotes of all older episodes are overwritten with the new shownotes. Is it just me or is this a serious bug?
Il podcasting è un movimento per amplificare le voci, se volete partecipare ad un cambiamento epocale, in cui il controllo e la creatività vengono tolti dalle Big Tech e rimessi nelle mani dei creatori, contattateci in privato per caricare il vostro #podcast libero, gratuito e federato con tutto il fediverso!
Especialista do #castopod na URSAL... Eu tenho um podcast com RSS e que hospeda os áudios no Internet Archive... Como faço para migrar/integrar esse RSS ao #castopod?
Hello helpful friends of the Fediverse! I am considering a major rearchitecture of my site, https://shellsharks.com (and adjacent properties) and wanted to get some advice/tips from the wider #indieweb, #blogging, #openweb, #webdev, #webdevelopment communities out here. (Sorry for the long read!)
Currently, my site is hosted on Github Pages which uses #jekyll for static site generation. I've been using this for nearly 5 years and for the most part have no complaints. The service has decent uptime, is pretty customizable (custom CSS, JS, etc...) and after all this time I am pretty comfortable using it. Some things I am interested in though in terms of re-architecting...
Fediverse / ActivityPub compatibility - #wordpress has gone live with their AP plugin and sites like micro.blog (I think) have some direct AP functionality. I'm interested in exploring this but it's not necessarily a must-have. More on Fediverse point of presence later...
IndieWeb functionality - I've baked in as much IndieWeb stuff as I can reasonably do with Jekyll hosted on Git Pages but would be interested in WebMention and other more advanced capabilities if offered by another platform / static-site generator.
I've toyed with the idea of self-hosting the blog (on AWS or something), while still using an SSG of some kind. There could be some benefits with adding more dynamic content or having more autonomy over my site but not sure if it'd be worth additional costs or headache trying to manage.
Writing (or generally producing "content") has always been something I do out of pure enjoyment but I've considered trying to monetize in some way. What are some platform considerations if I wanted to monetize say, a podcast, newsletter, video courses, premium articles, etc...

Other adjacent properties I'm looking to "re-design"...
My #podcast is currently hosted on #Podbean, which I have liked so far but I'd like to further embrace the Fediverse so have considered moving to #Castopod. Any advice on hosted vs. self-hosted? Are there other non-Castopod fediverse options?
As of right now, my presence in the Fediverse is mostly on infosec.exchange where I post stuff from my site. I've considered hosting my own instance of Mastodon (or something similar) to be my main account or even just as an official "shellsharks the site" account. I've seen accounts of people going down this path and ultimately bailing due to costs, time overhead, etc...

If there are noticeable benefits to making any significant changes I'd be willing to take that on as a project for 2024. Otherwise, I might just stick with what I have and focus on writing/research =). Thanks so much to anyone who takes the time to read / respond!
I'm really interested in moving a podcast from Spreaker to Castopod, though I have no interest in self-hosting it at this time. Does anyone have any insight into what the pros and cons might be for such a move? Thanks in advance! #AskMastodon#AskFedi#Fediverse#Castopod#Spreaker#podcast#podcasting
