Bon, bah j'ai trouvé pourquoi le player de @Castopod (ainsi qu'Apple Podcast en streaming) déconne et me fait des resets de lectures constamment : https://code.castopod.org/adaures/castopod/-/issues/446
Le ticket est ouvert depuis 7 mois sans réponse. Le déploiement de Castopod par docker intégrant nginx est peté...
Vivement la migration Š mon propre service !

Series A, Episode 10 - Breakdown
JENNA: It all happened so quickly. One minute he was crying with pain, then he went beserk.
VILA: I'm glad he's a friend. Could get very painful if he really didn't like you.

I am writing a #podcast feed generator with @…
It is interesting how no two podcast feed look the same. Some have one or two namespaces (usually itunes and podcasting 2.0) and some have over half a dozen (rawvoice, googleplay, purl, atom, etc.).
itunes tags greatly vary in quantity and syntax. Several of them are not even listed on the Apple official page for Podcast RSS pages. https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itcb54353390
Of course, that page is incomplete and you can find other tags that are still in use in their documentation...
Some people added tags from podcasting 2.0 that never got accepted, and are not even mentionned as proposed anymore (for instance, @… uses podcast:id).
Some publsh enclosures in formats nobody understands (for instance, Peertube publishes m3u8 files...)
This is an incredible mess. And I'll probably add to it by publishing one more incomplete generator 😅

Classifying Bicycle Infrastructure Using On-Bike Street-Level Images
While cycling offers an attractive option for sustainable transportation, many potential cyclists are discouraged from taking up cycling due to the lack of suitable and safe infrastructure. Efficiently mapping cycling infrastructure across entire cities is necessary to advance our understanding of how to provide connected networks of high-quality infrastructure. Therefore we propose a system capable of classifying available cycling infrastructure from on-bike smartphone camera data. The system …

Mathematicians Prove Hawking Wrong About ‘Extremal’ Black Holes | Quanta Magazine
For decades, extremal black holes were considered mathematically impossible. A new proof reveals otherwise.

Un constat : ça prend un temps infini de faire les sous-titres d'un podcast ou d'une vidéo.
Même en ayant un script pré-écrit, et qu'il faut simplement caler, si on est contraint Š un certain nombre de caractères par ligne, comme c'est notamment le cas avec le standard Podcasting 2.0 (32 caractères), c'est très très très long.
Hier, j'ai mis 2h30 pour un épisode de 21 minutes.
J'ai utilisé Aegisub, qui est un logiciel libre qui facilite la chose. Sans lui, j'y serai encore. Je recommande chaudement !

One thing governments who are too afraid to ban X, even temporarily, should consider, is the robustness of systems that rely on it. It should be possible for things to continue, albeit less efficiently for a short period, without a specific social media platform. With that in mind, it would be prudent, and send an important message to social media owners, to stress test by turning off X for scheduled days and weeks, so that the country asserts democratic independence from foreign billionaires.
