@nprofile…7epg @nprofile…lm4c we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
If a podcaster has ads and this then allows the end user to skip those, it can create issues for them with their sponsor. If the sponsor knows that a specific app makes that possible, they may exclude those from their stats for payment.
I’m not about the “ad-life,” but I can understand the issue that this may create for someone who is.

@nprofile…lm4c he might! He likes to sue folks. I just wouldn’t want to expose myself to the potential of it happening.
And it shouldn’t be up to the end user to alter their podcaster’s work.

@nprofile…pnt8 I'm looking to move to self-hosting with a CDN and using SSP on Wordpress to generate my feed. They do not currently import the existing GUID in their plugin or provide a means to override it. They said it is planned but hasn't been added yet.

2025-10-23 17:11:45 UTC

@nprofile…9ap7 just to verify. If i move my podcast and the GUID changes, my stats in OP3 will no longer continue on the original page because of the change. Correct? Let's say I go from a GUID of 30ed52a9-a11c-5235-bdfc-8e3379c6edde to eedae792-3e0d-508f-9903-5bf7930efe0a my stats would no longer contain those from the former guid? Just trying to make sure what will happen before I make a move.

@nprofile…kmnl personal issue.

@nprofile…m72c Fountain wallets will continue to work as they have. No hosting account is necessary to set one up in the app. Truefans isn't a "real" Lightning wallet at this time. They use "tokens" that are supposedly equivalent. Both apps can be topped up in the same way though, making it easy to get Sats/Tokens into them.

@nprofile…w443 don’t waste the end users time with known bugs and then take no responsibility for them. While the amount of Sats I have lost isn’t huge due to this bug, it still should not have happened. It could, and should, have been avoided. How is this such a foreign concept to you and your team? It certainly looks that way.

@nprofile…w443 I complain because your software shipped with a known bug that force closed my channels during an update. Your own team member verified it.

Throw it on a $20 Neewer boom arm (https://a.co/d/8YvB05W) and you’ll be golden to get started. I have four of them in my gear that I have accumulated over the years.

@nprofile…6746 @nprofile…7sdv too bad the update breaks channels on some nodes. stop shipping products with known bugs (your employee admitted as such).

2025-07-17 22:49:43 UTC

It pisses me off. I’m going to spin a Bitcoin and Lightning node back up on Umbrel and move things that way. The node on AlbyHub is apparently not reachable without any channels open. I’m fairly sure it is by design and they are getting kick backs from the LSP’s; I just can’t prove it.

2025-07-17 21:25:51 UTC

The anti-Semites at Alby continue to make mistakes and deflect them at everyone else. They have put a known bug into production software and refuse to take any responsibility for it. What a joke.

@nprofile…mg8l Interesting. I just downloaded the latest episode of Shooting It Straight and it has the title, artist all populated correctly. the episode cover art is there as well. It also took the show notes and placed them into the comments tag as well. I upload at 128 kbps stereo so it just passes the file through to their AI and doesn't re-encode.
