Yeah, they're geoblocking non-US IPs. When I set my VPN to a US city, it works, otherwise it doesn't

I'm assuming geoblocking shenanigans, to be honest

Is johnoliversjunk.com just broken or are you geoblocking non-US IPs?

Same here. I assume geoblocking shenanigans

Can try with my VPN once I'm back home...

"Is that such a common problem?", I hear you ask

Yes! There's a certain clientel of podcasts, NPR and SiriusXM and such, that commonly do that

So I listen to an English-language podcast, and wham, in the middle of it, I suddenly hear a German-language commercial. Very annoying. I hate it

Maybe that could be a project to tackle over the winter holidays

(And no, I'm not trying to turn that into a service I run for others, but rather a Python script you can run on your own system. Releasing it as AGPLv3 FLOSS software for everyone to use. I mainly want that for my own use.)

It would use a VPN to download the same podcast episode multiple times, for multiple locations in turn

Then analyze the audio files and note the pieces that are the same. The idea is that different pieces are automatically cut-in ads

Once identified, they cut be cut out again, automatically

There's something that's been rattling around my brain for a bit

A way to "defeat" dynamically added podcast ads. At least ones that are added based on your geolocation

Basically, a proxy for podcasts that detects and automatically cuts them out before offering them to your actual podcatcher

YouTube video by James Hoffmann I Bought David Lynch’s Weird Coffee Maker

I'm late here, but did you see this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd1O...

James Hoffmann did a video some time ago where he showcased an old and terrible coffee maker David Lynch once owned (and probably never used)

Postcasts sind wirklich noch der einzige Ort wo ich Werbung bekomme. Weil die dynamisch in die Audiodatei reingeschnitten (und per Geolocation ausgewählt) werden, lässt sich das auch nicht einfach blocken

Aber überall bekomme ich nur diese eine beschissene Shopify-Werbung. Ich hasse Shopify so sehr

Now I want to see house racing, though. People mounting little houses and riding them around a track

No episode of Cinderella Gray this week again, I'm afraid

According to rumours, they want races in the anime to match up with the races in the Japanese house racing season 2025

what gets me is libs are really insistent that it’s true when all context and reasoning points toward a brother teasing his brother and talking shit about a guy he hates, and in that insistence of realness is a glee in the patently homophobic root of the claim.

Too bad the show isn't interested in actually answering any of those mysteries

It just dangles them in front of us and when we ask "so what's up with that?", it just shrugs

Was confused for a moment that it didn't say Impulse Tracker, before remembering that, oh right, they had "borrowed" the look of the Scream Tracker

Impulse Tracker is where I spent most of my time playing around with tracker music back then. That and the Cubic Player

Two, even, and Eric Idle voiced Rincewind. But yes, just Rincewind and the luggage. Twoflower only appears as an on-screen explainer with a blackboard

(And the third game, Discworld Noir, is very different)
