Self-Hosted podcast

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

What does that even mean?

They have several other social medias if you listen to the show. I believe they primarily post on Mastodon or Nostr and they have their own self host matrix server.

Annnd the rss is hosted on fireside instead of their own domain
Most of their ‘content’ is the hosts reading our donations each episode and playing obnoxious sound effects. It used to be much, much better, but this crypto stuff ruined it all. I really wouldn’t even bother.
If you want a good Linux how, check out the Late Night Linux family of shows. They have programming stuff, Linux stuff, comedy, Linux news, and more. They’re pretty legit and have a strict real content policy.

I think you’re thinking of one of their Linux podcasts.

I’ll admit LUP is worse but self hosted has a lot of the crypto stuff too.

The only crypto self hosted has really relates to their show donations. They really don’t talk much about crypto at all. I think mostly because unlike the other shows, Alex is the dominant personality on self hosted and Chris despite being goofy is relegated more to side kick.
-
What does that even mean?
Their community spaces are largely unmoderated because of the libertarian belief that they'll just regulate themselves.
-
It means you have no fking clue how any of this works. Libertarians don't want a society that functions well for everyone.

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.
That show is equal parts content and advertising. That is a bit too much for me...
-
But isn't the intention of the fediverse to keep our people just trying to make money? Even a chill podcast needs to make money.
Although maybe since the fediverse gives users/instances so much control we could keep them in line hahaha
No one is saying they shouldn't make money, but for their social apps -- just like they post on Facebook, Twitter, etc. They could also post on Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. And this gives their users the option to leave the big tech social platforms.

A self hosted podcast sounds like just talking to yourself.

I wouldn’t say most but it is a reality of most podcasts these days that they’ll shout out donors. I kind of like the goofy sound effects personally and the rest of the podcast is chill and perfect for background listening. Of course everyone has their own preferences. I find LUP interesting enough for my level of Linux (enthusiastic amateur).
