Spotify is sorry that it revealed how many people listen to your podcast
Spotify announced earlier this month that it would publicly display how many plays podcasts had. Podcasters were not happy — now Spotify is reversing course.Mia Sato (The Verge)
O vídeo mostra uma cena vibrante de um show ao vivo, com um músico tocando um baixo elétrico amarelo em um palco iluminado com luzes coloridas, incluindo tons de roxo e azul. Um cachorro preto está presente, caminhando ao redor do músico e interagindo com o ambiente. À medida que o show avança, o músico é substituído por outro que toca um conjunto de bateria eletrônica. O cachorro, curioso, se aproxima da bateria e, em um momento divertido, o músico oferece um palito de bateria ao cachorro, que o segura na boca. O cachorro então caminha pelo palco, carregando o palito, enquanto o público, incluindo pessoas em trajes formais, assiste e reage com entusiasmo. O ambiente é animado, com luzes e som contribuindo para a atmosfera festiva. O cachorro, com o palito na boca, caminha em direção ao público, que parece estar encantado com a interação.

Today's real champion is this one. One of my PC Engines APU devices - I don’t remember the exact year I bought it, probably 2017.
It worked at my home as a router/firewall with OPNsense for several months, then in 2018 I installed it at a client’s site, "as a temporary emergency solution". Still running OPNsense, always kept updated, and it hasn’t missed a bit since then.
During a severe thunderstorm, the access point and switch connected to it were fried, but it kept going - silently and reliably. Zerotier, Wireguard, port forwarding, bandwidth graphs - all handled in a hot office, often with the air conditioning turned off during holidays.
It did everything, and it still works.
The client moved to a new location this morning, and the APU was replaced with a more powerful device (in anticipation of a future Internet upgrade). I decided to take it back with me (technically, it’s still mine) - they couldn’t find the power adapter, probably still packed in boxes, but up until 07:30 this morning (the last time I connected to the server behind it via VPN), it was perfectly reliable.
I’ll probably keep using it - I have others - maybe in the office as a file server with two attached drives.
Honor to the device, honor to OPNsense, honor to FreeBSD.

That's awesome ! Did you update it regularly ? What did you replace it with ? I use Protectli and I heard good things about other boards too.

This is such bullshit. There wasn't a single Dem who made bathrooms and sports significant parts of their campaigns. I'm really getting sick of guys like Cuomo and Rahm Emanuel retconning the 2024 election.

The image features a symmetrical, abstract floral design with a central yellow flower surrounded by purple petals and green leaves. The petals are elongated and have a gradient of purple hues, with darker shades at the tips and lighter shades near the center. The green leaves are positioned at the intersections of the petals, adding a contrasting color to the composition. The background is a solid light blue, which enhances the vividness of the purple and green colors. The overall design is balanced and harmonious, with the elements radiating outward from the center, creating a visually appealing pattern.
