The Underclass – Longy – Music Experiment
On the Podcasting 2.0 podcast they’ve been playing music regularly to promote the idea of Value4Value streaming payments to music artists. I see this as a first step to really opening up all entertainment to Value4Value. Anyone with a Lightning Network Node ID and an RSS feed can have their entertainment streamed, viewed, or listened…

Start9 resetting password debacle
I installed the Start9 server with little issue. You can read about that here. But what I’ve run into now, short of learning how to move Bitcoin to my node and using the lightning network as well, is my password is weak and I need to reset it. I chose a weak password while experimenting…

Take 2 on the Start9 installation attempt
Yesterday didn’t go so well. I was able to get the .iso file and start the installation process on the machine but the entire thing stalled out. I ended up waiting about an hour before abandoning the installation for the day. You can read what happened blow by blow here. Today I downloaded the other…

Getting started on my Start9 server
Here’s what I did, step by step, today on my first attempt to install Start9. The instructions after that last step are not clear. Here’s what it says after inserting the USB drive into the PC where you intend to install. “Finally, continue to the Initial Setup, Manual Update, or Reset Password instructions – depending on your need.” None…

I’m going to try to build my own Start9 server
I like the idea of “sovereign” computing. The idea that I own my hardware, software, and data. Living that life is very difficult if you’re a normal person. Most people use Apple, Google, or Microsoft for everything that’s digital in their lives. They’re locked down to one company’s platform. I try to spread myself around…

Create YouTube videos for your podcast with PodViz by RSS.com
Any podcaster would be crazy to ingest their RSS feed into YouTube in order to get on their “podcast platform.” YouTube has a roach motel model where you can ingest your RSS feed and all your episodes will be on YouTube but there is no RSS feed from YouTube for anyone to listen to your…

Problems with content creation
I’m not a natural content creator. If you’ve followed this blog or the intermittent podcasting I do you’re saying to yourself… no f’ing duh. I believe my problem stems from not having a specialty. I have many hobbies but I don’t have anything in particular that I’m uniquely passionate about. I’ve never had a “passion”.…

Podcast listing solved and I curse syntax
I wasn’t able to get a response with regards to my messing up the listing of The Casual Hike at podcastindex.org. I ended up changing the file name to my RSS feed and adding the podcast back to the index. That solved my problem and I even kept the same GUID! I didn’t think that…

Messed up my listing at podcastindex.org
Once again I screwed things up and I’m not sure how to fix it. I successfully created the hiking podcast. You can find the feed at thecasualhike.com/tchpodcast.xml. I added it to podcastindex.org and everything was hunky dory. But, a problem cropped up where the index showed there were two episodes instead of only one. One…
