I'm planning on setting up a #rasberrypi music streamer. I'll be throwing headless #plexamp to play my music library and I'll probably use #moodeaudio as the base image to get me bluetooth, airplay and a few other bits. Does anyone know how I can integrate podcasts into the platform? I was thinking of setting up an #audiobookshelf server and clients on my mobile devices but I'm not sure how to stream a podcast to the pi so that it keeps track of my position across all my devices.
I'm transferring some earlier materials from twitter to this platform. Here's Linda Zagzebski's amazing story at last year's Rutgers Workshop on Chinese Philosophy (virtue epistemology). It highlights the intimate body/mind connection. When she was in Dublin several weeks before the workshop, she went to the Chester Beatty Museum that has a huge collection of Asian manuscripts and paintings. The rest of this thread is a slightly edited quote from her comment of a paper on Xunzi and Aristotle. 1/
"Through meditation he was able to slow his heart rate to almost nothing and stop his breathing so that he would have complete control of his hand since even a heartbeat could cause his hand to move imperceptibly. In that state he was close to clinically dead. The docent held up a magnifying glass with 40x magnification so that we could take turns looking at it. I cannot read Chinese characters, but I could see that they were there. The docent said people have examined it under a microscope, 4/
"and the characters are perfect. There are no mistakes. After carving it, Chen Zhongsen filled in the carved characters with ink, which means he had to do the whole thing a second time. He has also carved the Tao Te Ching and other major works in their entirety on small stones. He has written two Tang dynasty poems on a single strand of his wife’s hair. In my opinion, Chen Zhongsen is one of the wonders of the world, but he is human and he does in a superlative degree what all of us can do... 5/
@manisha@computingnature@academicchatter@academicsunite ah well this didn’t happen in a day. there was some example Matlab code that had been made available previously. glad it’s gotten a more formal grounding/distribution framework though now.
Someone @technology suggested this site, I’m a bit surprised by the services offered as alternatives to the big tech companies. Very nice overview. https://european-alternatives.eu

The Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources
A few minutes ago I learned of a marvellous project to create the Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources (DMNES). This is under development, although a lot now exists, but a blog is available, and is itself a rather wonderful thing:
The dictionary aims to contain all given (fore, Christian) names...
Speaking of Steam, for folks that engage with the community items, badges and trading cards, I wanted to ask, how many Steam Trading Cards do you think is the right amount for a game to have? I'd love to know your thoughts about it! 🎴
We won't have Townseek cards and community items for a while until we clear Steam's sales requirements to do so, but this has been something in the back of my mind as I collect and make badges from them. 🤔 #gaming#steam#steamdeck

@jahed It's one of, if not the, biggest industries in entertainment. I don't think it'll slow down any time soon. People need to start advocating financially for better games.
@rodhlann I know, but I think we have tons of great games released and scheduled already. Just a shame most of them will get overlooked simply because there's too much. The boom is really sky rocketing this year, likely due to the COVID backlog.
