I won't spoil it for you, but... Christianity doesn't "fall apart". Many will be deceived, which isn't a surprise, either.

best hire I was ever involved in was in the Windows 95, 98, NT era when PC/SC was still brand new. Getting everything "right" on a random computer for our GINA-replacement+smart card (Win CSP/Cryptoki).
I interviewed/recommended a guy who was a self-taught+MCSE admin-type who thought he wanted to be a dev. Rather, I convinced him to become our InstallShield guru and he OWNED our build process. Was the only guy to stay on after we were acquired/(and then all RIFFED in 2001).

"Forgot how much I don't much enjoy flying any more. But lucky to be able to."
I feel exactly the same. I've been the tool on the shelf that gets sent for 34 years now. It's a privilege, and I try to remind myself that it's all a privilege every trip.
Sometimes, I succeed. Profite du voyage.

His cousin, the souffle recipe agent, had this to say, "You are exactly correct, that was my mistake. I had prepared a list of poisonous ingredients to avoid. That IS a poisonous mushroom and I should not have included it into your neighbor's recipe. I'll do better next time."

Also, my blog appears to have some issues in its Hugo rebuild (article names/slugs/links); (* sigh *)

Indeed. The maintenance is heavy. I set up my streaming VPS (now retired) a few years back, and it required a bit of digging to find the correct dependencies and 'tricks'.
Good luck!

Howdy, John. Have you written up your system anywhere? Interested to learn what you build for that application.

Wow. It's been a long time since I've heard "Donato's". Big Dough got real popular in the 80's. Glad to hear they are still going.

You're very welcome and thank you, Martin. I see it landing in my AlbyHub. I should be able to get the website/shownote clip link up by about this time next week. Still not managing to keep up between work demands. It's good to have work, though.
Go Podcasting!

What little time I've spent using AI for my insignificant podcast, the most useful/time saving use for me has been the summary generation. Is it accurate? Usually, and I can easily tweak it when needed. But the thing that it completely lacks is voice.

Hi Seth, "Secular Foxhole" is Martin's show. Mine is mikeneumann.show, with Tim Jurgensen.

Hey, Martin! Thanks for the listen. :) I'll be over there at the end of the month for a bit. I've never been much of a skier, either, but I appreciated it at my own pace many years ago.

In my annual review this afternoon, in response to a statement that I made in my self-assessment narrative (redacted details), yeah... It's not just an issue in tax or software architects. It's everywhere, and it's dangerous.

My Pixel 6a 128 had a mishap, and I jumped on the 9a 256 on sale last week. For me, the 10 is just too big a device. It's gotta fit into a pocket.

Merry Christmas, all y'all.
'Tis the season for giving, and we could use a few more examples in the wild west of lightning payments in podcasting.
Is this example correct?

<podcast:valueRecipient name="Bob" type="lnaddress" address="robert@bobsdomain.com" split="25"/>

</podcast:value>
1. method="lnurlp"/type="lnaddress"
2. method="lnaddress"/type="lnaddress"
I'm thinking "1". 2? Something else?
TIA.

yeah, they're pushin', for sure. I was holding out as long as I could and then woke up last week to the "we downloaded this hunk of code for you. Click here to install it, slave" message.

I'm only about 20 minutes ahead of you in that episode and that's how I understood that segment as well.

Nope, and/or depends. I'm not singing or playing an instrument on "It's A Mood". It's a podcast. I call it a "value4value music podcast. I throw in v4v talk, "the ask" and other bits of talk.
That's different from my "Mike's Mix Tape" which is, other than a <5 second verbal title at the beginning, 100% other people's music in a .mp3 file with VTS and chapters for wallet switching and ease of navigation/artist attribution. I can easily see that feed using medium=music.
