Self-Hosted podcast
-
Just taking a minute to share this podcast with y'all. I know it's already in the sidebar here, but thought Alex & Chris deserve a shout out for their great show.
They talk about the week's news and their own experiences hosting at home. Listening to them talk tech makes me more confident about my hosting.
I much prefer this one

Jupiter Broadcasting? Still alive and kicking. Not sure what you mean by digitial ocean, the had merged with Linux Academy, then A Cloud Guru bought LA, then Joe Ressington got shitcanned for using a very british slang in a meeting and seemed like right after that Chris took it back independent and they kept on with LUP, Selfhosted and a couple others I don't listen to.
Ressington has gone on to make what I think is a very successful Linux podcasting network, Late Night Linux, certainly enjoy their shows. I've been a patron of his stuff for several years now, and there's a good bunch of people hosting those shows these days.

good shows, just don't get involved with their community, its an unmoderated, libertarian nightmare.

Did they actually selfhost their podcast? Or did they use some 3rd party distributor?

thanks for this bit of history. I had no idea joe was involved with Jupiter previously but it explains how he and Alex seemed to know each other.
I'm glad that Joe's podcasts are still going. I find Chris and the Jupiter crew insufferable to listen to. the episodes feel like a mix of ads and cryptobegging between brief overly animated bits of content.

As someone else noted, they use a platform called Fireside. I wonder how hard it would be to self-distribute a podcast with thousands of listeners.

You missed the part where Chris struggled to continue to get ad revenue in ~2023, so went hard on cryptocurrency.
Mike bought out Coder Radio this year and now it's independent from JB.
Ah, I did not know that, but that's one of the shows I don't listen to. I listen to the Changelog shows for much of my dev stuff.

Irish person who swears a lot here (to the point of being reprimanded by US-based HR at work), you're taking a massive risk saying "cunt" in a professional setting. Getting fired rather than reprimanded seems pretty harsh though.
It's unfortunate, I'd have an issue too, I have Canadian farmer levels of swearing I don't even notice myself doing it. And some of the sayings are probably racist as hell but it's not meant that way, it's just carryover from the old days.
In the end I think it worked out well for him, but some understanding that not every culture is as uptight and puritanical as America would have been in order.

They seem to go in spurts on the cryptobullshit. Sometimes you go for months without hearing anything about it, then it's part of the next 5 LUP shows. I can certainly do without it, and I think he gets emails shitting on him for it and he tones down for a while.
I did walk away from all his shows for a couple years there because he was on and on about how anyone that's still mad at Microsoft is stupid, and I couldn't take it. It was like he was on the payroll there for a while.

2.5admins is a great show even if you aren't an admin.

No time to self host their own social media I guess.

maybe the reality is somewhere between them marketing things but also being really passionate about something. good observations.

Tbf if you want a big following for ads and such you need to use whatever has the people on it.
Lemmy is great for personal hobbies and enjoyment, but not running/advertising a business (which I assume the podcast is).
And it should probably stay that way? Not sure.
But I'm of the opinion that stuff like Instagram/Fb/X will always be around, but I'll stick with things like Lemmy for personal stuff.

Nothing will change if no more people starts adopting fediverse, and a podcast about self hosting should at least also post on the fediverse as much as on the main social media apps

It shouldn't be that hard. What you really need is bandwidth.
The podcasting 2.0 spec has tags for alternate means of distribution as well. I've been wanting to see torrent magnet links in there, but it hasn't happened yet as far as I know
