I was surprised that Googles invidual apps trackers were quite low. But collectivly they are huge. Pilot and Loves had no trackers just blew my mind. But Trucker Path, one of the most popular trucking apps around has **32** trackers and **20** permissions! WHY??? I am recommending all of my trucker friends to uninstall this app **immeadiatly!!** Even iHeartRadio, an app I use daily has as many trackers as it has permissions! Absolutely astounding and its no wonder my battery dies so quickly

Podcast Recommendation

Your Secure Life

I also recommend you go do through his email course on how to clean your digital footprint in 5 days. It's well worth it and day 5 surprised the hell out of me and may end up taking me full week to go through because I didnt know there was that many companies sucking up my data. I've only been paying attention to this stuff for 6 months but there are years and years of my stuff on line.

Special thank you to Nachbarscaft for the proof that it works. I had thought of this before but didnt try it because I thought it wouldnt work but I am wrong and it does work!

My ultimate goal is to move boneheadmedia to Socialhome and make it my personal site such as Jason Robinsonhas done. He is one of the devs of Socialhome and has made it look just like a website.

-Funkwhale podcast update. I've seen some wireframes that have been dont up to show what its going to look like and they are beautiful! I cant wait to make my podcasts all available on the Fediverse! I'm excited as hell!

Fediverse Party 2019 review

-1.8 million newcommers

Socialhome is best described as a #federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using #Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the #ActivityPub and #Diaspora protocols.

Its a new year and now is the perfect time for you to make the commitment to protecting yourself, your privacy and your data. How? By self hosting of course! Self hosted radio station, websites and files and detoxing your data all right here, right now on The Self Hosted Podcast!

Over the last 20 episodes I've focussed primarily on apps that can be installed and used through Yunohost. I've also tried to learn how to install apps on my Yunohost server but that was a complete bust. I just aint smart enough. But I did get one installed without using Yunohost and it actually works! If your one of the lucky ones (friends and family) you might be listening to this being recorded live or a replay on it right now. It's called Azuracast and I am excited as hell to have it installe and running. More on that later but first lets get to the news!

This is not a normal episode!

This is a replay of my last Christmas show. It originaly aired both in the feed for The Unkle Bonehead Show and on UBSN.net. My first radio station that was all me. In it you will here me reference. Linux for the rest of us training videos. They are still available but pretty dated since this was recorded 2011-12-24.

I also referenced that I was making a distro that was specificly for streaming audio to an internet radio station. Dont look for it because it never came to frutition. I had only been using Linux for about 9 months at this point. And as with most noobs who find Linux I wanted to do everything right then not thinking of how hard it is to do without knowing the tech and just how practical the final distro would be. Lol.

Some of these songs, while not performed by Creative Commons artists were released originally on a Christmas album back in the early to mid 90's and was then released on The Podsafe Music Network (Meevio) back in 2008 by the record label. It of course had many more artists than I played on this episode but suffice it to say it was all hair bands. I am making it available in this feed just as a bonus episode. If you are listening to it through one of the phone apps and want a high quaility audio version you can download it either from Archive.org or get it on NTROradio.com. I also referenced Google+ what a joke that was, lol.

Voice overs for The Unkle Bonehead Show was provided by several different people of the years but in this episode it was Wayne Henderson. Who still does it at Media Voice Overs He is very reasonable and has an absolutely awesome voice. I strongly reccommend him for anything you need for voiceovers.

YouTube is Training thousands of raters to enforce new harrasment policy

I've decided to change my mind on doing the YouTube channel. Why? Because fuck YouTube. But seriously they have some really stupid changes coming down the pike and while they may not actually effect what I do I dont want to support or even invest the time into trying to make them a viable option. Heres what happened.

I got a new Yunohost set up. My old computer didnt die like I thought  it did. It was just the hard drive and I have plenty of spares. So I  just downloaded a new iso stuck it on a thumb drive and BOOM! It’s back  up. I’m gonna keep it light this time. Only using it for my Funkwhale  Pod, FreshRss and Firefox sync.

Ella K.,Cyberpunk Goddess aka Eloisa & them Seagulls

She describees herself as a 34 yr old unemployed person with Multiple  Sclerosis among other things. She used to have a Paypal tip jar but  they blocked it for some stupid reason. So if you can please go and get  something off of her wishlist on Amazon. These are items that she needs  mostly for her health. But there are some things that she just cant  afford anymore. The reason for two lists is the one in spanish costs  less since it wont involve extra costs with shipping and customs fees.  The USA one is for those who have problems with the .es one. She says if  you can and want to help please do, but only if you can afford it.  Incidently she is also the organizer of #wearenameless where a group  gets together online and watches old sci-fi movies as well as the  LollipopCloud’s Community Manager.

Which I think I will make a special page on the site with links to people in need such as Eloisa.

LollipopCloud

This is similar to the Freedombox and Yunohost’s Internet Cube. But I  think it’s a little more different. They have listed in the downloads  section armbian, borg and raspian images. I’ve wanted to have my own  “cloud” here in the truck so that when I didnt have a data signal I  could still have access to media to watch or listen too. Some maps to  use get directions on, something like CodiMD to write up show notes  instead of on the laptop, etc. But I’m gonna have to get a RaspberrPi to do it because it’s only ARM  devices.

Funkwhale Podcasters MeetingEliot Berriot has posted the minutes for the first meeting and I was  lucky enough to have been able to attend for most of it! It didnt last all that long since everybody was pressed for time. BUt  here is the gist of it. We’ve got 3 podcasters in the publishing testing pool and 4 people in  the listeners testing pool. We discussed some tasks and are working out  schedules for regular meetings as well as working out all the logistics.  Dude I am stoked and know the others are as well. This is ground  breaking and I think it has the potential to turn the podcasting world  upside down.

Holy shit this is huge!PeerTube V2.0.0 is out!

-* Better instance admin

And according to Felix who is the admin for PeerTube.social, which is one of the largest PeerTube instances, recently did the upgrade and says it went very smooth and there is a lot of stuff on the admin side to go through. Sounds like it is worth it though.

Write freely V 0.11

and many many more!

Funkwhale 0.20.0

And now for the exciting peice for me. Their current proposal is to focus the 0.21 release on audio publication, by bringing support for podcasts and channels in Funkwhale. The 0.22 release would be focused on stabilization, enhancements, bugfixes and could possibly be labeled Funkwhale 1.0.

Did you catch that? PODCASTS and CHANELLS in Funkwhale! This would turn it into a kind of mashup between PeerTube and Spotify. This leads into the next part of Funkwhale news.
