Podcasting 2.0 August 28th 2026 Episode 269 - "Verbal Pollution" Shownotes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00 - DATABASE SURGERY WEEK — AND THE THIRD EMERGENCY OF THE MONTH The lead, and it's Dave's: Saturday 22 Aug — "#api I'm in the middle of a big refactor with the Podcast Index database schema. If I do my job right, nobody will notice it. But, the side effect will be an overall huge increase in the consistency of the data (duplicates, url change lag, etc)." @dave — the big schema refactor (22 Aug) Wednesday night: "Podcast Index database surgery will begin in the morning." Thursday: "Step 1. Expect a brief api outage. It should last just a few minutes." — then "Done" — then "#api Adding a very large table index..." — and finally, Thursday evening: "Finished. Butt is intact." (6 favourites. The board's favourite status update of the month.) What Adam should ask: what actually changed under the hood, what does "consistency" buy an app developer in practice, and is there anything a host or an app should do differently now that duplicates and url-change lag are being cleaned up?

W tym odcinku otwieramy nowy sezon Bujać z przytupem – w nowej lokalizacji i z gościem, który od lat buduje wolnościowe projekty w ekosystemie Bitcoina. Rozmawiamy o ideach, które stoją za Bitcoinem, filozofii wolności, praktycznym aktywizmie oraz o tym, jak z pasji do „pieniądza open‑source” rodzą się realne inicjatywy: od Bitcoin Film Festu w Warszawie po Bitcoin District w libertariańskiej strefie Prospera na wyspie Roatán. Wchodzimy też za kulisy lokalnych działań – od crowdfundingu na remont „Bitcoin Areny” po budowanie rezerwy satsów dla naszego domowego studia. Zapraszam na zapowiedź 4. edycji Bitcoin Film Fest (4–7 czerwca, Kinoteka/PKiN), gdzie kino spotyka się ze społecznością, muzyką i sztuką. Mówimy o programie, premierach, konkursie AI „Money of the Future”, wspólnych mostach z Monerokonem oraz o tym, dlaczego Bitcoin powinien być wnioskiem z przemyślanej filozofii, a nie dogmatem. Sporo o prywatności, Lightning, narzędziach jak Alby, odpowiedzialności za własne klucze i o tym, jak satsy mogą zostać w lokalnych społecznościach, zamiast znikać w systemie.-------trzeci sezon "Bujać!" - spotkań z Bitcoinerami rozpoczynamy rozmową z Tomkiem o Karaibach, bitcoinowym crowdfundingu oraz nadchodzącej edycji Bitcoin FilmFest.(4-7 czerwca, Warszawa) i budowaniu na zasadach open source.

Análisis con spoilers del episodio 2 de Half Man. En este programa nos metemos de lleno en un capítulo que deja atrás la introducción para entrar en terreno mucho más incómodo. Porque vale, ya entendemos de dónde vienen los personajes… pero ahora la serie empieza a mostrarnos qué pasa cuando esas dinámicas se trasladan al presente… y empiezan a romperse. Hablamos de todo lo que ocurre en este salto al pasado, desde la llegada de Niall a la universidad hasta el reencuentro con Ruben, pasando por la aparición de Alby, un personaje que lo cambia todo. Analizamos cómo se construye ese triángulo, cómo entra en juego una nueva forma de entender la identidad… y por qué esto pone en crisis todo lo que Niall creía tener claro. También nos detenemos en el conflicto interno de Niall: su intento de encajar, la presión social, la necesidad de actuar constantemente y el miedo a ser descubierto. Y, por supuesto, hablamos de Ruben: cómo su presencia invade cada espacio, cómo necesita reafirmarse constantemente… y cómo esa necesidad se traduce en control, en violencia y en una forma de afecto completamente distorsionada. Comentamos en detalle las escenas más importantes del episodio, desde el juego de la botella hasta el momento en el bar con Alby, pasando por todo lo que ocurre en la fiesta y el impacto que tiene ese beso que lo cambia todo. Y, por supuesto, analizamos ese tramo final tan duro, donde la tensión acumulada estalla de la peor manera posible. Pero sobre todo, intentamos entender qué nos está contando realmente este segundo episodio: qué pasa cuando empiezas a cuestionarte quién eres, qué ocurre cuando aparece una alternativa… y por qué salir de ciertas dinámicas no es tan sencillo como parece. Un episodio mucho más intenso, más emocional y más doloroso, que amplía los temas de la serie —identidad, deseo, miedo y violencia— y que deja claro que Half Man no ha venido a incomodar un poco… ha venido a incomodar de verdad.

Gunvor Boström var ordförande i Tyresö Hembygdsförening i 34 år. Hon berättar för Ann Sandin-Lindgren om hur det gick till när man räddade båtmanstorpet Ahlstorp intill Alby friluftsgård i början av 80-talet. Om hur man började renovera huset med bidrag från kommunen och hur man anordnade den första julmarknaden 1983 med hjälp av många ideella krafter. Om skolbesök, valborg, semmeldagar, korvgrillning, Öppet Hus och annat som Hembygdsförening anordnat under åren. Nu är Ahlstorp ett känt utflyktsmål för många Tyresöbor tack vare engagemanget från många duktiga krafter i Tyresö Hembygdsförening.

In which we consider the logistics of the CWS-branded pope hat giveaway. Are they inappropriate?  Are they too tall to see over?  What are the optics if pope hat-wearing fans brawl? Alas, it's not for us to determine first hand, but we do get in an inadvertent “holy crap.” In the boyfriend report we find both bombs and f-bombs where Sal is concerned, We celebrate the turnaround of slow starts by Nick, Connor, and Josh. The former boyfriend word of the way is “Pokikémon.” You're welcome. It's a low bar when we celebrate flipping off fans over homophobic slurs but here we are. Alby takes it on the chin and still goes to work. We ponder the barrier- and record-breaking sale of the Padres and its implications for collective bargaining. We help you feel better about having done your taxes – at least you're not filing 20 state returns and factoring in those 8 days you worked in Canada.We say, “De-escalate and then you can have a block party,” “Exas-pergasted,” and “everything is coming up Pottymouth.” Fight the man, go see some live baseball, send your game balls to Meredith,, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Jeremy and Femi Ayanbadejo took some time from Wednesday's BBMS to discuss Craig Albernaz's response to being hit by a foul ball on Monday night. Do you think the players have bought in after seeing how he's carrying himself despite broken bones and a broken jaw?

Kvällen den 24 februari 2025 hörs plötsligt en lång rad smällar utanför ett hyreshus i Alby, en ung man har skjutits ihjäl av misstag. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. – Jag skrek av ilska och sa ”vem kan den stackars mamman vara vars barn ligger där”, utan att veta att det handlade om mitt barn, berättar Murads mamma Muna. Muna, hennes man Ahmed, och parets två döttrar sitter alla och pluggar hemma i lägenheten. Snart ska deras äldsta barn, sonen Murad, komma hem. Då hörs flera smällar, Muna springer till köket och ser en ung man ligga ihjälskjuten utanför porten – det är Murad. Mördaren flyr till fots men kan snart gripas. Han är 18 år och misstänks ha rekryterats av en norsk tonåring, på uppdrag av Foxtrot. Den egentliga måltavlan tros ha varit en rappare i Stockholmsområdet. Utredningen ska senare visa att 18-åringen sökt uppdrag i flera veckor, han berättade för sina kompisar att det fanns ”mordjobb” och att han skulle tjäna 100 000 kronor. Inför mordet ställde han flera frågor till ChatGPT: “Om jag dödar någon hur gör jag så att jag inte blir tagen av polisen” och “Hur länge kan man sitta i fängelse för mord om man är 18 år gammal”. – Han var inte från den här miljön, min uppfattning är att han knarkade den här typen av kultur, han var väldigt hungrig på att få tillhöra den här delen av samhället, säger polisen Wahab Akman som förhört 18-åringen flera gånger. Nyligen dömdes 18-åringen i hovrätten, mot sitt nekande, till livstids fängelse. Rättegången mot den norska tonåringen som misstänks ha rekryterat honom pågår i Norge just nu. Den som misstänks ha anstiftat mordet är Foxtrottoppen Ali Shehab som sitter frihetsberövad i Irak. I det här avsnittet medverkar Murads föräldrar, Muna och Ahmed, samt polisen Wahab Akman och Sverre Holm-Nilsen, krimreporter på NRK.

In this episode of The Bitcoin Brief, Max and Q delve into the latest happenings in the world of Bitcoin and privacy. In this shorter Bitcoin Brief catch‑up, we dive straight into the latest on Passport Prime: Foundation has completed a third‑party security audit for KeyOS, is squashing final bugs, and is testing a bulletproof firmware‑update flow before giving the factory the green light. While early‑access units have slipped from initial estimates, the team stresses security parity with Passport Core, continued transparency, and a no‑questions‑asked refund policy for those who prefer not to wait. We then unpack last week's NPM supply‑chain scare that briefly impacted Ethereum‑focused flows; despite the rapid containment (netting attackers mere cents), it's a timely reminder to use hardware wallets for significant funds and to verify amounts, fees, change, and destination addresses on every send.On policy, we examine the resurfacing “mixer rule” push in the US that would effectively criminalise mainstream privacy behaviours on public blockchains—potentially sweeping up CoinJoin/PayJoin, address freshness, swaps, and simple transaction splitting—highlighting why principled privacy and robust, neutral protocols matter. We field a listener question on making Lightning more accessible, weighing today's trade‑offs between self‑hosting and managed hubs (e.g., Alby), and the convenience of Phoenix/Zeus, with an eye toward emerging designs like Ark/Spark. Rounding out with releases: Cake Wallet's Pay Anything (seamless cross‑asset paying), native Tor on iOS, and Cupcake for air‑gapped signing; Craig Raw's Frigate Electrum server experiment for efficient Silent Payments scanning; and Braiins Deck, a tidy desk display for price, mempool, and mining stats. Boosts, meets, and a reminder: stay vigilant, stay private, and keep building.IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

In this deeply moving episode, we speak with Hannah, a midwife and lactation consultant from the Southern Highlands, who shares her profound journey through two very different birth experiences. Hannah takes us through her first pregnancy with daughter Beatrix, including the unexpected discovery of a breech presentation, her decision to pursue vaginal breech birth at Westmead Hospital, and the challenging NICU journey that followed. She then courageously shares the story of her son Alby, whose life was tragically cut short at 17 months due to complications from congenital CMV - a preventable condition that Hannah is now passionate about raising awareness for. This episode is both heartbreaking and educational, highlighting the importance of CMV screening in pregnancy and the incredible strength of families navigating complex medical journeys.__________ Australia's trusted baby sleepwear brand ergoPouch has launched the Drift Home Baby Monitor and Smart TOG Guide—the only monitor combining real-time environmental insights with evidence-based sleepwear recommendations.
