Linux podcast recommendations. GO....

@brandon if Anchor supports RSS (which I imagine it would), you could use ifttt.com

@brian I'm not sold on Mycroft personally (or assistants in general to be fair). Mycroft in particular though seems to be massively behind the competition. Sure, there's the open source/privacy aspect, but I'd prefer to not use an assistant at all, than maintain my privacy and use a sub standard product. Just my opinion though. 👍

@dentangle completely agree. #FirstWorldProblems 😁

Real pet hate of mine is when podcasters put their titles as "<podcast-name> Episode XXX".

It gives zero context as to the contents of the episode, so we then have to hunt through the show notes (assuming there are any). If you own a podcast, please don't do this. Pretty please.

@eg0n yes! I miss my Amiga 1200 so much! However, the hundreds of 3.5" floppy disks, not so much...

Some similar interests as me. Love music and I'm an infosec guy too. Welcome to Mastodon. 👍

So this weekend I will be attempting to patch my server against Meltdown & Spectre (Digital Ocean have a process for it). However, I'm very likely to brick my server, I imagine. 😂😂😂

@ChrisWere @brian @mike I actually didn't. The site uses a theme by Aftertype, I just tweaked the CSS a little to change the colours and a few other bits. https://aftertype.com/ghost-theme/personal

@ChrisWere Just watched your latest video on the REALLY minimal website design. I haven’t gone as far as you on my website, but I’m very much with you - a site should be about its content, not its pictures and JavaScript. https://kevq.uk if you’re interested.

@tinker WordPress! What could possibly go wrong? 😂😂😂

Joking aside, I use Ghost and I'm very happy with it.

@brian I've has much the same experience. I switched to brave for a while, but found the blocking frustrating to use also. I'm back on chrome on my mobile devices.

@welshgeekboy I thought if you deactivates your account, all services are gone with it. I'd imagine logging in to messenger.com would re-activate your account. I have no idea though, I'm just speculating.

@welshgeekboy can you deactivate your fb account and still use messenger?

@staticsafe my general rule of thumb (and the advice I give out) is; if <company> is asking you to do something in said email and you're not expecting it (e.g. pw reset), it's probably fake. If you're not sure, contact them via other means - live chat on site, contact form, email direct etc.

@therealmatthartley @RyuKurisu thanks guys, appreciate that. 👍

Folks, I have a small motorbike YouTube channel with around 3k subscribers. However, I’m pretty disenfranchised with YT and I’m thinking about swapping it to a podcast. Can anyone recommend any good podcast hosting sites? I could host myself, but I’d rather save the storage space.

Whoever the genius is that did this, you're awesome. #Stallman

@miwilc thanks. I'm currently hosting my personal site with Digital Ocean, only because I had some credit saved up with them. Once that's gone, I'll be moving away. Was thinking either Linode, or openvz.io I'll check these guys out too though. 👍

@miwilc who are you hosting with, if you don't mind me asking?

@brandon agreed!
