Doesn’t get any more secure than a battle-tested web server hosting simple MP3 files and a text file.

Convenience might be a thing, though. I’m in the Apple ecosystem so their Podcasts app shows that feed on all devices and tracks listening progress, etc.

If I didn’t have that, I’m still a lifetime customer with PocketCasts and PocketCasts Web. So, that’s that. But if you don’t have anything similar in place, a self-hosted streaming server might be the best way to go, yes.

Do you need a web player? I’ve got several years of a radio show on my web server and wrote a script that created an RSS feed for them. This way I can open that in any podcast player (even web based ones) to listen to it.

It got better in Beta 2!

Settings --> Accessibility --> Display & Text Size --> Reduce Transparency

Well, hopefully you’ve added an ALT text to the picture for all those visually challenged people out there - which then also helps search engines.

Balfron Tower. But the designer was Ernő Goldfinger.

There’s also Marginalia if you’re looking for some rather traditional web search.

I’ve entered the serial number of my Germany-bought model and it said it’s not from the affected batch and safe to use.

Probably BigBlueButton, or maybe Jitsi. Or, they’re still using Teams but didn’t want it mentioned in the article.

Does the paper take into account the energy required to compile the code, the complexity of debugging and thus the required re-compilations after making small changes? Because IMHO that should all be part of the equation.

My 6th gen gained windowed mode and Stage Manager with iPadOS 26. Not sure whether Apple will remove it again in a future Beta version, though.

“I don’t care about petrol prices. I always fill up for 20 bucks.”

Instagram’s AI moderation not allowing to send my comments when trying to warn others of a scam or trying to tell them to report scalpers.

it’s rotting peoples critical thinking

@gork is this real?

At least WP is free, Ghost is as “free” until you find out its only useful with the rest of the payed platform. editorjs.io is much better in that sense.

Can you, though? Because I remember when DVB started in Europe, they’ve sent a signal during commercials that makes your device block the fast forward feature.

I don’t know whether that’s still a thing. But you needed a hacked firmware on your TV / set top box to allow to FFWD through commercials back then.

Same here. And I’m waiting for them to finally do it because it’ll free up so much of my time. I might start reading books again.

Also, it’s the last Google-service I’m using. So, banning me from it will allow me to finally delete my Google account.

It’s not lemmy.zip that’s blocked in the UK, they (lemmy.zip) block every visitor from the UK as they don’t want to get in trouble for violating the UK’s Online Safety Act.

That slogan was originally coined in 1848 by King Ludwig I. But as with many things, the nazis severely tainted it. (Even though it was used by the socialist party after WWII, too.)

There’s a whole German Wikipedia article about this.

The VS is completely independent.

§7 BVerfSchG:

Die Bundesregierung kann, wenn ein Angriff auf die verfassungsmäßige Ordnung des Bundes erfolgt, den obersten Landesbehörden die für die Zusammenarbeit der Länder mit dem Bund auf dem Gebiete des Verfassungsschutzes erforderlichen Weisungen erteilen.

or in English:

The federal government can, if there is an attack on the constitutional order of the Federation, give necessary orders to the highest Federal State authorities for working together with the Federation in terms of protection of the constitution.
