From working with podcast-index.org database to find podcasts, I have learned that for language codes:
ES = Spanish
ES_MX = Mexican Spanish
ES_ES = Double Spanish
(Apparently people don't realize that ES_ES is supposed to be "European Spanish", so when you filter by ES_ES you get podcasts from like wherever)
@sethmlarson Like the vast majority of podcasts, I made this with a couple of episodes and then forgot about it 😛
I have a vague idea to add an episode with a transcript at some point, and when I start get around to some projects I have where I want to work with podcast feeds it will probably drive me to add more features.
I have done nothing to make the contributor workflow good at all, but if you want to make a PR the repo is here:
https://github.com/pganssle/test-podcast
Also feel free to fork it and create what would undoubtedly be a better and more popular version 😉
@webology Especially if you like sine waves!
Hey everyone, I just started a podcast! It's called Test Podcast and it features highly compressible audio wrapped in a simple RSS feed that can be used for testing your RSS-feed consuming software.
You can find it at https://pganssle.github.io/test-podcast/
@webology @sethmlarson I thought it was like an actual secret menu with a simple name like "animal style" or "double double" or something, so not anything where you are being weird and where it is hard to explain.
Still, I think in this case it is that people probably like the act of ordering off a secret menu that you have to know about more than they like the actual food you get when you do that.
@webology @sethmlarson I wouldn't really order a burger these days anyway, but when I tried it 15-18 years ago I remember thinking it was nothing special.
I got the impression that maybe I ordered the right thing and you were supposed to order off the secret menu to get the thing everyone likes, but I don't think anything I saw on that menu would turn a mediocre burger into an amazing experience.
‡Eso es porque recojo mi vocabulario de varias fuentes y me parece que uso regionalismos de regiones muy diferentes, y suena... raro. Quiero centrarme un poco en material de España por la razón simple y tonta de que me gusta "vosotros" en vez de "ustedes" 😛
Hispanohablantes, por favor, ¿me podéis recomendar más podcasts en español? No me importa el tema y de hecho, preferiría escuchar algo muy aleatorio (y nada de noticias, por favor). Si la calidad del audio es buena y los presentadores son majos, a lo mejor me gustaría; sobre todo si es de España‡. No me van mucho los podcasts "profesionales" — si fuera un blog querría algo con una página pequeña y casera antes que un Substack o algo corporativo, si eso tiene sentido.
Oh, y también creo que si no tiene feed RSS, no es un podcast, es solo radio espumosa.

@yvanspijk Ah I looked a bit for that the cross meant but I didn't notice it in the legend 😅
@yvanspijk Also I've never heard the English word "bouk" before. Seems like it is UK specific and possibly the sense of "belly" is obsolete? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bouk
@yvanspijk Did old Norwegian and Danish really lack words for eye, ear, mouth and nose, or do we just not know those words?
Also, is it true that Norwegian, Icelandic, Swedish and Danish lack words for shoulder?
Or is it just that the gaps are words that aren't derived from proto-Germanic?
@Yhg1s @brianokken Wil Wheaton really is an annoying narrator. He is the only narrator where I will just not listen to a book if he is reading it.
@gregeganSF @FunkyBob @brianokken I listened to Dichronauts and IIRC the quality was very high, but also that book is not an easy one to handle as audio 😅
@brianokken What kind of sci-fi do you like? Do you want super hard sci-fi (Diaspora by Greg Egan is great, as are most of his books, including Permutation City)? Military type sci-fi on the more rompy side it would be hard to go wrong with the Vorkosigan Saga.
Rainbows End is also great if you haven't read it. As are many things by Ursula Leguin, especially The Dispossessed.
I have several dozen more recommendations of various quality if you want.
@webology I feel like I've also heard of people losing every connected account, but often times when these things break on HN you look into it and it's like, "Google changed the rules, we were totally legitimately using their API to make just one little click farm and then they said that was banned and banned us forever!!11one"
Plus considering I work there (and know a bunch of people who work there even if I leave), I suspect I might be able to avoid *some* of the more Kafka-esque parts of the cycle without resorting to HN.
Still, I might make an extra account just to be safe. Maybe I'll use my work account as the "backup" e-mail so that if I get banned and it propagates they'll just ban my work account 😛
I would like to publish an #Android app, but I feel like I've heard stories about people having some kind of issue and their entire Google account gets yanked, which would be... bad.
Do folks worried about this make a separate google account just for this? Does it help at all if you get banned?
I suspect this will not be likely to affect me given that my app is basically just a repackaging of an open source PWA app with no permissions requested, no ads and fully open source, so I am not too worried, but I also feel weird using my personal account for anything else.
@brettcannon @feoh Did you ever figure out how to do this? Any chance if an open source or shareable implementation if so?
Been hoping to do exactly this for years and years.
@hynek I think you might have an obligation to coin such a German term for this.
