Zeus gets it. Value comes in many forms. The pencil-pusher cpm types will never understand.
"It's too hard"
"That doesn't scale."
"It needs to be a one-click install"
"All 8 billion people on earth won't use it"
"My mother wouldn't be able to figure this out."
Any one of these is a sign that the other person is dismissing the concept without trying it.
The French are losing their shit and no one seems to understand why. The French have maintained a remnant empire in Africa to this day, it is finally collapsing and African nations are pushing them out, dropping the Franc etc. So now they are trying to be the big dog in NATO but doing so with words, no real actions.
My Great Uncle who was a SSG in WWII told me, we had a joke about the French. Their tanks had 5 gears but 4 were in reverse.

Do you know why they put glass bottoms in the New French Armada?
So they could look at the Old French Armada!
We state the fundamentals and the reasons for node running and we talk about the inevitable government attacks for years but then everyone acts like it's some huge surprise once it's showtime?
Y'all have been reading your own timelines, right?
"iF uR nOt dOiNg AnYtHiNg iLLeGaL dOnT wUrRy" bois ABSOLUTELY BTFO
There is zero inspiration or insight in the phrase "if you're not doing anything illegal you have nothing to worry about."
I am immediately suspicious of this kind of talk. It is the mark of short-sighted naive midwittery to make that kind of statement in any context. The legality of your actions is a worthless barometer for worry level because the laws are fickle and the state can turn on you on any personal whim.
You only have the rights you are willing to fight for, and people who discourage your fight to keep your rights are the among the most dangerous voices out there.
Fuck the keep calm takes, none of the shit should be illegal. There's nothing you could possibly type onto a keyboard that would be an overreaction.
Running your node still "too hard" for ya there son?
No Strudels, just Buds for a Friday night in-person Bowls With Buds nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr joins nostr:npub19ha7tju4teqp3dmwv4p28wrcy9zd6h6hxkg5mwvjrlfycweazpkse2q0fa and I for a technical origin story marathon covering Bitcoin, Nostr, Blossom, Podcasting 2.0 and how to destroy your state (uh in the browser of course tee hee)
Looking forward to the Bowls with Buds episode Friday with nostr:nprofile1qyf8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yat99e3k7mf0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qqszv6q4uryjzr06xfxxew34wwc5hmjfmfpqn229d72gfegsdn2q3fgp47t9f .
me too!
It's packed, it's kiefed, it's the latest Bowl, ready for sparkage! In which I commend nodebois, nostr:npub19ha7tju4teqp3dmwv4p28wrcy9zd6h6hxkg5mwvjrlfycweazpkse2q0fa deboonks the science, and callers are hereby banned!
A great reference for any and all relevant Podcasting 2.0 tags is available on the Project's Github:
https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/main/docs/1.0.md
Everything is built in the open and explained with relevant examples. If you would like a music-centered version of that, I have made a sample music RSS template here that has comments explaining how each tag is used and what values you need for them:
https://github.com/de-mu/demu-feed-template/blob/master/feed-with-comments.xml
Always happy to answer any questions you might run into or help troubleshoot! I think my favorite aspect of the RSS approach is that you don't really need a lot of coding background to sit down and familiarize yourself with the tags. It's a very accessible spec to build some sort of "my first coding project" in!
Yeah I don't personally have a problem with the amount they take at all. Just the way they do it is a bit gross π
The market will decide what reasonable hosting fees will be, anyone can charge whatever they want. But the RSS Podcasting 2.0 spec has a way to openly set splits and they have consistently shown an aversion to building in the spirit of that free and open system (and I mean free as in freedom, not as in money)

The flow of all capital through the one node regardless of splits or lack thereof and regardless of use of wavlake custodied wallets or the recently added "bring your own" lightning address means that they become in full, custodial, non-transparent control of every single sat that flows to art on the platform and cuts against most of the basic best-practice principles Bitcoiners are usually quite passionate about.
I got to them in Telegram before they ever had a nostr presence. And before they had messages auto-delete in Telegram π I have 3 main concerns:
1) They build out RSS feeds for their artists in order to distribute their music to other Podcasting 2.0 apps, but they do not surface non-Wavlake music feeds in their own music player app. Walled-garden content approach. So self-hosted albums like ours are not surfaced in Wavlake.
2) The RSS feeds they build include a value tag that points 100% of the boosted sats to Wavlake's node. They then do all their "splits" in their black box behind the scenes with 0 transparency.
3) Because of this implementation, they can rugpull artists who are from the "wrong" countries. Early on a Russian music teacher had taught his students about Wavlake and had them upload some songs. These songs received sats from Wavlake users. When they went to go withdraw the sats they earned, Wavlake said "sorry buddy you are Russian, we are keeping your sats." This is antithetical to Bitcoin and frankly the most offensive of all the things I've seen from then so far. As a result the Russian teacher assumed this was a failure of Bitcoin itself and not just of Wavlake's poor/selfish implementation.
