For the next tape, since I will not be at a conference I'm expirementing with a physical V4V release.
We will try this and then see how it goes.
The protocol is:
1. Mail me a postcard
2. I mail you a tape
3. You return the value with time, talent, or treasure
4. I thank you by adding your nym to the producer list on the jcard
I might have the digital version out as early as next week, the tapes mostly like not until end of November.
More details include the address, are in the podcast here (should be in your client by now if you are subscribed).

Ok I see thanks. So, my security code review eyes would want to make a comment on this style and say that declaration should go with assignment.
Because what can happen is that the default assignment is sometimes used mistakenly and results in undefined behavior.
Obviously not an issue if you follow up with the assignments as you did, but just stating an observation.
Yeah idk if I can honestly recommend it to anyone interested in Podcasting 2.0 features.
It's a podcast host in that it will host your rss feed and your audio. But that's it. I don't think you can customize the rss at all. So no chapters for example.
But if you have a substack and want to add a bonus audio thing, I can see it being handy.
For example, some creators are pay walling their podcasts behind substack pay walls.
This is lame. But I'm just stating what people are doing.
Regarding the feed I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. I was able for example to import a pay walled feed into podverse for example.
Then yes, maybe no one has asked subatack for PC 2.0 features so maybe this is possible.
Honestly the most advanced thing they can do is just offer a rss snippet editor to customize at the channel/item level.
Castapod does exactly this and it works pretty well.
So I've noticed something like this happening to me. But I if I either forced close amethyst or I have a nothing media playing like a podcast, it seems to not play.
Not encouraging Stockholm syndrome, just stating an observation.
All of the first three issues, with the exception of 1 copy for me, have been distributed. If you have a bitpunk.fm tape, you are part of an offline, analog, decentralized backup system for this community's work.
So thank you for maintaining the flame for all the contributors.
Appreciate you listening and sending the zap! Yeah, I'm noodling a way to send physical tapes without it turning into a web form 😀
Once I add a checkout page I feel like it's now a product.
I also need to think about how to allow the artist on the tape to get paid from a physical medium. At the moment I've got a nfc/qr so they can be boosted. This might be good enough.
I now have a duplicator that can do 2 copies of a 40m tape in 6 minutes. It's slightly less quality than real time copies but cassettes have a upper limit anyway. And I still enjoy listening to them so I wouldn't say they are bad sounding.
It saves so much time.
I would like to see for example higher power LoRa in ham frequencies.
The ham radios dead thing is at "punks not dead" kinda trope.
More people should be experimenting with radio, if it'd called ham or not I don't really care. It's all waves to me.
Yeah, it's popular because it's a hack on the legal system. It's not the best system.
A hack, because of the power requirements it can legally operate in the unlicensed bands.
It is working and interesting however. There are even I think successes in "mission critical" use.
A long wire and a paddle can communicate across the world for example, lora can't touch that.
It's also a relatively cheap gadget, with proprietary transmitters that must be licensed from Semtech. And cheap electronic toys can sold, pitched, and enjoyed.
So I have a complicated relationship with LoRa. I can appreciate it's nerd factor, but at the same time, I recognize the cool software being built with it, but I do cringe a bit when people say that this proprietary modem is "freedom tech."
But you are reading this most likely on a proprietary computer from Intel, amd, or apple so maybe I'm being too harsh.
The issue with LoRaWAN is that it's an IoT thing like you say that is meant for connected sensors with the help of the Internet.
It has actually a neat encryption system where there are network keys and app keys such that apps need not be tied to networks.
But it's really designed for an operator with a larger sensor network. That and the corporate feel properly scared people off. It's been going strong for over 10 years though I think.
This is very kind thank you. There will always be at least one technical article on every issue in this style.
I'll keep up the chapters with podcasting 2.0, so you will always be able to just listen to that if you prefer.
What a cool project! Physical media is punk! Proud to support it!

Super interesting experiment. While I like long form podcasts, it also feels sometimes abusive to the listener when tangents go on. Knowing you streaming sats is one way to keep the listener engaged and the host accountable.
For example, imagine you streamed sats every second your nostr client is opened to the notes on the screen. 🤔

I started to do yoga again. Mainly from peloton. If you did a 20 minute yoga flow I'd put it on tape and listen to it (and mail you copy).
Two twenty minutes would be better because I have glittery 40m tapes.
I'm know the basic poses, but am not so advanced really.
Second take. This time with more DeMu voiceovers (also on lnbeats).
Lovely Spinning Decks

Rolling slowly from left to right,
magnetic tape soothes the night.
Revolution, music, LSD —
a demo scene just for me.
Track lists etched with ink and pens,
swapped in dim underground dens. Video kills like Infinite Jest —
cassettes prepare your vision quest.
Lovely Spinning Decks. #poetry
A love poem to the cassette media, by me.
Rolling slowly from left to right,
magnetic tape soothes the night.
Revolution, music, LSD —
a demo scene just for me.
Track lists etched with ink and
pens, swapped in dim underground
dens. Video kills like Infinite Jest —
cassettes prepare your vision quest.
I couldn't tell if the trigger warning was editorial or part of the poem. If the first, it's not needed as #poetry is itself a trigger warning.
Thank you for sharing.
Ohh, mushroom cream sauce nice! I've been doing mine sometimes with an apple compote.
For thin cuts of pork, I struggle not to overcook them but when I get it just right 🤤
Those dumplings sound good as well!
Yeah, your results may vary, this is what I do. I keep the fat on. On a very hot pan I flip the pork ever minute for maybe 6-8 minutes. Then I remove it and cover it in tin foil until ready foe the sauce.
There's debates on this, but flipping every minute I think helps even the heat transfer.
Tune in, Drop out.
A media poem by me. #poetry
Transmitting continuously
a pirate station,
jammed by overpowering neighbors,
obnoxious broadcasters,
but the signal faintly persists —
stronger when you are near.
With fine adjustments
you focus your attention,
sinusoidal waves
resonate through your antenna —
you hear yourself,
as the noise fades away.
Here's a performance of this poem. Also on lnbeats.
