exactly. Once we stop treating TwiX like a public good but rather like the private website of a a gaming cheater with a lot of guests, things would be more obvious, wouldn't it?

yes it does. The world is full of 'another's.

frankly I find rot quite appealing.

Rotting produces compost, fertiliser. And at the same time makes way for new things. Great, isn't it?

in german law it's even impossible to transfer copyright (Urheberrecht). There is but one way: inheriting. What can be transferred though is usage right - licensing.

is the user base shrinking or why should we?

IMO pulsating, vivid stability is more important than growth.

glimpsed into it, looks fancy but find it apologetic. IMO it's double-standards to campaign against "the next datacenter from being built" without reducing personal usage and demand.

Individual frugality is the precondition for collective degrowth, both practically and morally. Otherwise you just open business opportunities for datacenter growth.

IMO both should be pursued, make one and don't omit the other.

I have some like this http://rec.mro.name/podcasts/zuendfunk/broadcasts.atom (and .rss, too) which plays the audio nicely e.g. in https://miniflux.app but I remember having trouble with iTunes on MacOS and the Apple podcast iOS app.

But his is mostly try-and-error and merely no specs. Apple doesn't talk about atom AFAIK.

Racket is interesting, I'm into Ocaml, but create those feeds via https://codeberg.org/mro/internet-radio-recorder/src/branch/...

100% includes iTunes or Podcatchers in general where I hardly find documentation for but would be interested for (my) https://mro.name/radio-privatkopie/

Can you give me a pointer how to write the Atom podcast feed?

The "Why RSS" doesn't mention why instead of RFC4287 Atom.

mro_name — Fri, 02 Aug 2024 12:02:43 +0000

for curiosity - what wisdom do you intend to draw from visualising relations of single gut bacteria? Or is it grains of sand in the sea? How many of them will you zoom into? Maybe clustering may make things feasible.

I always acted as if there were no such thing as private data on github. Maybe even the internet as a whole.

but nginx or caddy can't run CGIs, they want scalability to the billions.
