ShadowDOM without web components is just fine. The transition has been tedious though. Having to hook getElementById(), querySelector(), etc isn't fun. But, it's working...

@nprofile…j90y To auto-fix this type of thing we would need to start daily scraping of the entire iTunes directory to look for ones that don't match, correct? I desperately want to avoid doing that. Especially since sometimes our url for a podcast is actually the correct one and Apple's directory is wrong. This is a very split-brain issue.
I'm open to suggestions on how to solve it if you or anyone else has any.

...and, now @npub1dan…asp3 says today that they are going to start listing "political skew" information. I think they are getting into semi-dangerous waters with this stuff. Listing brands on shows they haven't sponsored is one thing. But, labeling my politics from analyzing my language in a transcript is a step too far.
My politics change sometimes daily as I read things and become more informed. Being politically labeled is a great way to just piss people off.

Podchaser's "Insights" page tells me that the following brands have sponsored the No Agenda podcast. No Agenda doesn't accept advertising or sponsorships.

#laravel Interesting. Having to build all the CSS/JS into a bundle for serving with Vite means that if I try to dynamically add a class with something like:
$(element).addClass('size-8')
...if I haven't used that class before in the static HTML of the blades it just will not work. I just had to make a dummy, non-visible <div class="size-8"> to get the dynamic assignment to work.
🤦‍♂️

2024-07-30 14:52:56

#laravel I have to run "npm run build" after every javascript change to see the new code run on the test-site instead of having a static JS file that is just always the latest version. I guess that's "modern".

Yikes, the Linode hosting bill went up over $100 this month. It’s been creeping up due to object storage overages for the last few months but this is a big jump. Going to have to waste time trying to find a solution. 😞

@npub1xau…hnwe The pubnotify hub is actually for websub, so that only operates on feeds we already know about. But, you can use the &podping parameter to have it broadcast an update to the podping network. We ourselves then see that message on podping and do an "add" on the feed.
You'll only ever get a thumbs up from the pubnotify hub. You'll never see the later step of the feed getting added.
If you need that info explicitly then we will need to get you r/w access and use the /add endpoint.

2024-03-09 21:21:28

- reply

@npub1xau…hnwe Couple of things:
- I don't see the &podping url parameter in that code snippet. That will send out the podping to let others (and us) know about the feed update.
- Feeds don't get added by the hub. They only get marked for update and possibly podping'd if that parameter is given. Our podping watcher is the one that will pick it up as a new feed.
