Nut milk comes from male cows.

I call them compensators.

Their size is inversely proportional to the capacity of the user’s head.

Some are big enough to replace both.

Schizophrenic, Bronze Age, fan fiction has a lot to answer for.

King Arthur came a lot.

I thought I explained how to handle the dynamically inserted ads, but I’ll elaborate a little here.

If your Listenarr instance is part of a broader network of other instances, they’ll all potentially receive a unique file with different ads inserted, but they’ll typically be inserted at the same cut location in the program timeline. Listenarr would calculate the hash of the entire file, but also sub spans of various lengths.

If the hash of the full file is the same among instances, you know everyone is getting the same file, and any time references suggested for metadata will apply to everyone.

If the full file hash is different, Listenarr starts slicing it up and generating hashes of subsections to help identify where common and variant sections are. Common sections will usually be the actual content, variants are likely tailored ads. The broader the Listenarr network, the greater the sample size for hashes, which will help automate identification. In fact, the more granular and specific the targeting of inserted ads, the easier it will be to identify them.

Once you have the file sections sufficiently hashed, tagged, and identified, you can easily stitch together a sanitised media stream into a file any podcast app can ingest.

You could shove this function into a podcast player, but then you’d need to replicate all the existing permutations of player applications.

The beauty of the current podcast environment is it’s just RSS feeds that point to audio files in a standard way. This permits handling by a shim proxy in the middle of the transaction between the publisher and the player.

This could also be a way to better incorporate media into the fediverse. One example is the chapters and transcripts generated could be directly referenced in Lemmy and Mastodon posts.

I think this would make a good -arr application.

Ingest podcast feeds, crowdsource hashes of whole and partial sections of the downloaded audio, which should be a good start to auto-tag dynamically inserted ads.

For non-dynamic ads, provide an interface to manually identify their start/end, and publish for others. The same interface could be used to add chapters and other metadata.

Then you’d just point your podcast app to an RSS feed you self host.

I propose Listenarr, unless this has already been taken.

Nationalist patriotism is a religion that worships dirt.

In Australia it’s 2 supermarkets and 4 banks.

Navigation is handled by Cetaceans.

Economics is the control system which filled the void in society vacated by religion after the enlightenment.

An arbitrary set of rules, conjured by the ruling class, obfuscated and protected from scrutiny, and imposed on the weary masses.

Finance, an arbitrary subset of mathematics, serves as its mythology.

Banks and financial institutions serve as its churches and cathedrals.

Economists serve as its priests.

God replaced by GDP.

Righty tightly, self-tapping.

I want wealth to be an indicator of a well-rounded member of society, instead of its current role as a proxy for sociopathy.

Also, how about relabelling excessive financial accumulation as something along the lines of ‘financial obesity’.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment.

Make the shareholders responsible for the morality of the corporation.

If one has been found to have acted in a sufficiently harmful manner to the society within which it resides, its assets and capital should be seized, auctioned off or destroyed, and the proceeds distributed to their victims.

I create unique email addresses for every organisation and service I deal with, including an obfuscated date, so when an address is compromised I can nuke it with a hard rejection, and regenerate as needed. This all feeds into a catchall mailbox, with server-side sieve rules to filter the stuff I actually care about.

I besides some account specific and burnt addresses, I don’t actively track of any of the addresses I’ve created, it would be in the hundreds by now.

One benefit of this crazy setup is there’s one less common identifier to match across disparate data stores.

Finally, no one should do any of The above. From experience I consider it pathological.

A broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.

All of those concepts were spawned from lead-addled generations, microplastics are their unleaded gift to their progeny.

Finally, taxes don’t pay for anything when the funding originates from the issuing entity of a fiat currency.

Not sure I understand your point

Basically MMT.

I never claimed education shouldn’t be paid for, nor that resources shouldn’t be applied to its provision, but a society which levels the financial burden on the student is imposing an artificial and indefensible barrier on their collective progress.

Further, education can only be framed as expensive when it is not appropriately valued as the investment it is.

Finally, taxes don’t pay for anything when the funding originates from the issuing entity of a fiat currency.

A society which charges students to acquire knowledge values neither.

Object permanence applies to tangible objects, basically things explained by physics and constituted from energy.

A nation is a construct of collective imagination, much like religion and economics.

National patriotism is a religion which worships dirt.
