Ah, I see. Thank you, Sir Fuckwit McBumCrumble. 👍

What exactly is an “open” signup? Is it as opposed to invite only?

Betting that -a includes --volumes. 👍

Okay cool, that I think explains everything I’ve wondered about this topic lol. Awesome, thank you!

Does the protocol have its own name?

So how do the aggregators sync with each other to get all the podcasts? Or is it up to the podcast to “post” to all the aggregators?

🤡

Ah-ha. Interesting. Thanks!

Could someone explain to me (I’m a developer so use whatever terms you like, maybe), how does the massive amount of podcasts reach the world? Say if I wanted to make a podcast app (I don’t, I love Pocket Casts), where would I sync the massive list’o’casts? Does it work like that? Or do you scrape the entire internet? What is happening?

Huh, does that install a lot of packages? How many would be removed if you removed cinnamon? 🙂

Three and a half thousand packages. Color me impressed.

Such a heinous click bait, I’m inclined to down vote the post. Definitely misleading af.

the “standard” basically only strictly explains how to decode the data and any encoder that produces output that successfully decodes that way is fine

Ah, okay, this explains the whole aspect of it then, for me. :-) If this is how a certain format is described, then it makes sense that encoders can produce different data, which then will be decoded as different output as well, all while all parties are compliant with the specification. That makes much more sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything, including I-frames and P-frames! ;-)

Right, but like, you lost me at the root of the repo even. Was I supposed to dig through Gentoo or OpenBSD, and both look almost the same, and I didn’t know what program/script you are using to switch, and I was like, I’m not digging through everything here, there’s no order, no guide, no convention I’ve seen before when browsing dotfiles, so I just felt lost immediately. 😬

Tldr.: no, you won’t get the same result

What I’m saying is, shouldn’t you?

It’s not a shame because of the amount of people we know, or how many people there are in total, that want to self-host email. It’s about the fact that it’s so difficult to set up, and hard to secure. I just wish it were simpler and more secure by default so that more people could roll their own and break free from ad-ridden and privacy-invading email services. 👍

How does that work? Aren’t two encoders of the same format supposed to produce the same output for the same input and configuration using some given algorithm? Otherwise I’d consider them different formats/codecs… 🤷‍♂️ Maybe that’s wrong of me?

Very anecdotal. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for that detailed reply. You have far greater needs than I do. 😊

It would be cool to do all these things and self-host. One day I’ll get there, in life.

That’s a shame.
