I blocked the podigee podping flood. I'll contact them and let them know something might be borked on their end.

The number of new podcast apps either being launched or under development right now is crazy. I get emails from devs about their projects multiple times per week. Never seen anything like it.

I've published the first report of "lookalike" feeds. This covers the backlog of the entire Index as it stands right now:

https://public.podcastindex.org/lookalike_feeds_backlog.html

In that page you will find a link to the CSV the data is based on. I will cover this more in the board meeting today. It's meant to help directories, hosting companies, creators, journalists, etc to spot early if someone has copied/cloned someone else's podcast. There will be a daily companion to this report.

"researchers have been chipping away at this cost of magic"

Are they serious with this crap?

Stuff like this exists. Tell me again how podcast dynamic ads aren't vulnerable.

Working on getting the web-ui repo upgraded because node.js blows worse than php. This day won’t end.

Security people are unbearable. Every time there is a big urgent security issue they do a pile on and try to make every other thing just as urgent.

Fixed.

On the same day as the global PHP panic? That's like someone choosing to release their indie film on the same day as Ghostbusters.
