Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anyone have any suggestions for a decent linux podcast client. Doesn't need to be fancy or anything, basically just "Download and keep the last N items in the following podcast feeds." Extra points for cli/TUI.

I use AntennaPod on my phone - highly recommended.

For those that don't click:

These are recommendations for other FOSS podcast apps by the developers of AntennaPod, since they only have the time and resources to develop their app for Android

The url made me think AntennaPod was available on other platforms, it is not

Thanks, I meant to note that and got distracted lol

Kasts is decent. And it integrates with gpodder, which means you can sync with mobile pretty nicely.

I head about Audiobookshelf and I already use Escapepod on mobile, LMS for music (self hosted), so wondered few times about installing it too.

So can Audiobookshelf be used for clips and annotation?

I find that more and more often I listen to a podcast, it gives me an idea and I want to :

  • pause
  • record my idea, by speaking it aloud for e.g. 30s
  • unpause to keep on listening
  • review the idea later on, e.g. on my desktop, while maintaining provenance, e.g. this idea "monetization of own content creation for creators on my on-going VR project" (ideally as text at this stage, so using STT) was sparking by listening to podcast "Voices of VR episode 1226 on VR Chat and monetization" around 25min in.

Edit : just checked on their demo server and there is a bookmark option. It's just text for me, it doesn't clip part of the audio, but it does associate some typed text to a moment in time. It might be enough for me.

Is it possible to filter the episodes to download like in antennapod?

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

Probably massive overkill for OP particular, but if you wanna listen across several devices, the best option.

gPodder is pretty simple. Link: https://gpodder.github.io/

Other than that, if you want CLI, while it's not a podcast program, yt-dlp is pretty good for downloading them. You can filter by title, date, etc. It's got a bit of a learning curve, tho.

Try https://github.com/manolomartinez/greg if you are interested in a minimalistic cli program.

I've been using pocketcast and it works for what I need.

I've recently become aware of some shenanigans with the paid service, but currently works great for a basic usage
