It works! You can now follow podcasts using podcastap.com with a quick link from the podcast page on podcastindex.org.

Thank you @steven !

What happens when Bluesky runs out of money?

#activitypub 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.

thx: @tchambers

#activitypub 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.

#psa 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.

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

The first response was pretty good:

"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.

This might be spam. 30% is pretty tempting though. 🧐

#activitypub You can now send a "rescan" request to a podcast over the AP bridge if you want Podcast Index to re-scan the feed for new episodes.

You just mention the (at)podcastid(at)ap.podcastindex.org actor in the post and send the word "rescan".

More to come...

#activitypub The actor profile page for podcasts now includes the RSS feed url and the <podcast:funding> link if one exists:

"Delete" is the background radiation of #activitypub

#activitypub #fedicasts The Podcast Index to ActivityPub bridge code is public now:

https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/pi-activitypub-server

This is still alpha software with much to do, but it's stable and working.

Episode and Live monitoring threads should now resurrect themselves if they panic, and it's way more tolerant of deserializing wonky AP JSON.

#activitypub 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.

#activitypub This is starting to get interesting.

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".
