For some reason I always have problems with your podcast files on Pocketcasts. They jump to the beginning or to the end when I start them after being paused or when I want to jump back 10 seconds. Could you check, please? Otherwise great as always!
I’m quite sad that there isn’t a Linux client yet for Nextcloud. I’ve tried to build it on Debian Jessie but wasn’t successful. I’ve tried as well to start a repository which should provide instructions for all contributed plattforms: https://github.com/compiling-nextcloud/compiling-nextcloud?files=1
But didn’t get any contributions. In the forum they’ve mentioned that one could use the opensuse build service. And while I have an account there and was even able to compile owncloud I don’t have the knowledge to change it to Nextcloud.
I would gladly help someone with more knowledge about package creation but as of now I couldn’t find someone.
Nice to hear CollectD+Grafana mentioned on the podcast, although quite interested to hear more about Echo+Grafana. Definitely call out Grafana v4 as being excellent. If you’re into Logstash et al, then Google-mtail might be worth a look – think Logstash-lite. Kibana I’ve got mixed feelings about, but the latest version there is also reportedly much improved. BTW, you’ve got “Grifana” in the writeup above.
Best wishes to all the LV folks for the new year.
can anything be done about the audio break-up throughout the podcast? It gets really bad and it’s been going on for a long time now. It’s starting to get unlistenable at times.
oops. my bad. it seems to be a problem with oggs playing on android or AntennaPod. The mp3 feed works fine.
