@james What do you think about adding "geohash" as an optional property on the location tag?

You can't break an Array.forEach loop in Javascript? wth.

It seems like we will need to define a Podcast ActivityStreams object type. I’ve been trying to see if we can just transmute a podcast into an Audio or Video object type. But the loss of fidelity is so high. I think a dedicated object type is going to be pretty necessary.

That would allow bringing in the properties needed for both podcast apps and Fediverse apps to treat them the same way.

An example would be the transcript uri. Where does that go? It doesn’t fit into a Document or any of its sub-types cleanly. There will be many such properties.

@dave@podcastindex.social avatar

The existing types are probably fine for most of the subclasses we need. So, the transcript property can just reference an Attachment object or set of Attachments if multiple.

The Podcast object itself can subclass Object of course, and then perhaps things like Podroll can just be a collection of Podcast objects since each will contain a guid and feedUrl.

Ok, this kind of crap is infuriating. This feed:

https://rss.art19.com/bitter-blood--kasem-v-kasem

...has this:

<itunes:block>yes</itunes:block>

...so our aggregators mark it as dead automatically since we receive complaints from hosting companies if we don't honor that tag.

But...

Apple themselves don't honor their own block tag:

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bitter-blood-kasem-v-kasem/id1674626553

So, what exactly am I supposed to do? Maintain a hand curated whitelist?

"On Bluesky, server choice doesn’t affect what content you see. [...] A focus on the global conversation:" [1]

Already lost me. The local first model is the best part of ActivityPub to me. I don't want to have a conversation with all of humanity. I don't think humans are built to handle that.

I'm so close to having this music chart functional. Looks good on desktop. Looks bad on mobile because media queries. 😡

One of the harder things for junior IT people to learn is "users lie". You can't take a user's word that they "already tried that".

Type refactoring finished and secrets moved into the environment. The new code is running on the bridge now.

I'll open the repo tomorrow after I generate some new API keys and invalidate the ones I'm using now since they'll always be in the git history.

An OPML feed list of the top 100 music chart for whoever needs it:

https://stats.podcastindex.org/v4vmusic.opml

Updated every hour when the HTML chart updates. This OPML uses the podcast namespace to get access to some tags and special element attributes needed.

Apps should be able to import this feed list if they support OPML import.

The Podcast Index ActivityPub bridge now properly handles Mastodon "authorized fetch". If you had trouble following a podcast from an authorized fetch enabled instance, please cancel that follow and try again.

This may also resolve other sporadic follow issues from Sharkey/Misskey instances. Testing from people on those platforms would be welcome.

Dropped the namespace spec into the Nvidia Chat with RTX training folder and asked some questions.

Our main db server is being “warm migrated” by Linode to a new data center. They said it will be “30 seconds to 1 minute of down time” post move. Hold on to your butts.
