Evan Prodromou on “Search Engine”
A few months back, we posted about the new Fediverse instance called "the Forkiverse". This is a Mastodon instance started by the hosts of the Search Engine podcast and the Hard Fork podcast. The site has picked up tens of thousands of users, with a distinctive local culture, and is a nice part of the Fediverse. The hosts are planning to shut down the server on Dec 31, 2026.

A few months back, we posted about the new Fediverse instance called “the Forkiverse“. This is a Mastodon instance started by the hosts of the Search Engine podcast and the Hard Fork podcast. The site has picked up tens of thousands of users, with a distinctive local culture, and is a nice part of the Fediverse.
The hosts are planning to shut down the server on Dec 31, 2026. They go over the reasons in an episode of the Search Engine podcast, Vladimir Putin’s Forkiverse. The reasons are pretty understandable — the cost of the hosting and the effort needed to moderate and manage the Forkiverse instance isn’t offset by their own enjoyment of the platform or a sense of mission.
I (Evan) am interviewed as part of this episode. It was a tough interview to do — I never want to talk about servers shutting down. But it’s part of the work that we are concentrating on here at the Social Web Foundation — in particular, the study of Fediverse server sustainability that is partly funded by our grant from the Interledger Foundation. Understanding what it means when instances shut down is important.
The interview was one of several that I’ve done with the Search Engine folks. We talked for several hours back in 2024, when my ActivityPub book had just come out, and when the SWF was just starting. We had follow up interviews in the intervening years. It’s been a good relationship, actually.
Search Engine has a new episode that includes excerpts from those interviews on its premium feed today. The episode is available on a few platforms — I found it on Spotify at Thirty-three minutes of hopefulness for a better internet . I was worried that it was going to be kind of saccharine — here’s this idealist, fighting for hopeless cause — but I think it actually is a pretty good listen. I got to be human, instead of a caricature, which was nice.
It’s been nice to stay connected to the Search Engine team, including PJ Vogt, during this time. I’m glad that he and the other people involved in the Forkiverse are giving the site a long enough time to wind down that the users there can move to other instances. And I’m glad that they’re going to stay connected to the Fediverse from their accounts on Threads, Bluesky, or elsewhere.
I remain hopeful for the Fediverse, and I hope you are, too. We’re doing something important together.

The Miku Real Japanese Podcast https://themikurealjapanesepodcast.buzzsprout.com/
Interviews or essays in natural conversational Japanese, usually 20-40 mins long. I found this difficult, usually because I had a hard time following the thread of conversation or recognizing enough vocab, so probably N2+ or high N3. Topics were hit or miss for me. Maybe I'll come back to it later once I'm better at Japanese.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have William Shatner explain to you in Esperanto that you should wait to have sex until marriage?
No, I didn't just have a weird dream after gorging on pizza before bed last night...apparently...because @brooke and I recorded a whole podcast about a movie that is apparently exactly that. Come join us to learn about "Incubus," a movie filmed by a mad man who lied to the Catholic Church, and the State of California to convince them to let him yell at Shatner in Esperanto for ten days...and somehow produced kirkland Seventh Seal.

The Jodcast, created by students at the University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank observatory (where Jocelyn Bell discovered pulsars) and running for 19 years.
Mostly astronomy and astrophysics talk, but very well done and enjoyable!
Keep Calm and Jod On.
Let's learn Japanese from small talk https://smalltalkinjapanese.hatenablog.com/
I tried a couple episodes of this and it didn't vibe with me at all. I found the hosts hard to understand and the topics didn't grab me. They occasionally used English which I found jarring since it was often words I knew in Japanese, but words I didn't know were left untranslated. Maybe I'd like it better if I was focusing on understanding more casual pronunciation, but for now not a good fit.
日本語 with あこ - Nihongo Picnic Podcast https://nihongopicnic.notion.site/Nihongo-Picnic-Podcast-s-Transcript-e6c923a2d9f34c1fa278bb5e4531ea0f
Another recent rec I'm really enjoying. 5 mins on daily life and Japanese culture. The episodes feel scripted and are read quite clearly and (depending on level) slowly, though with good energy. Good mix of N4, N3 and more advanced episodes. They make a great warm up before a more natural podcast, or a chance to focus on understanding everything, since I should know all the vocab & grammar used.
ことのは https://kotonohanihongo510.wixsite.com/my-site
A more recent addition, but I'm really enjoying this one! Two hosts chat about 2-3 topics around the same theme for 20-30 mins (though it looks like older episodes are shorter). All conversational Japanese, fairly simple but with a natural back and forth. I like the dynamic between the hosts and their choice of topics. Episodes are tagged with difficulty: often N3 or N2, sometimes N4, occasionally easier or harder.
Learn Japanese with Noriko https://www.japanesewithnoriko.com/
I've been listening to this one for several years because I like it. Noriko talks about life, books, movies, trips, culture, occasionally philosophy. All Japanese, conversational and simple but not overly enunciated. Early episodes are shorter (5-10 mins) and easier, later are longer (30-60 mins) and harder. Interview episodes are weakest point, often with poor/uneven sound quality.

@igalia's Chats episode 100 is a good one. It really resonates with me how @dontcallmeDOM describes the #web as a "shared online ecosystem", a set of values we've grown to expect from web technologies that shouldn't necessarily revolve around the #webbrowser. It's a shared social space that needs #interoperability, #accessibility and #privacy to sustain itself across different languages and cultures.

And there we go! Vibe Coded #Podcast 21 🔗 https://vibe.coded.show/21
“How is it that we've arrived at episode 21, and I've never actually done an episode about what Vibe Coding is exactly? Or what the opposite of Vibe Coding is for that matter? Today, we rectify this odd scenario, and I also have an exciting announcement to make: We write code by hand. 🙌”

#podcast so far really enjoying this https://rss.com/podcasts/computer-science-off-course/
by @Felienne and Hanna Schraffenberger.
Very passionate and energetic podcast of what is maybe outside of a "main stream" computer science education.
I like that it brings "classic" / famous article or author and discuss them. It also offer some "homework" that let you either read the article or do some kind of practice related to it.
Hugely recommend!

Bloggers and podcasters: this one's for you. Turn it into a post or an episode, a proper blog carnival. Easy content, and we all connect. Just drop your link with #AgileConfessions, any language.
Boosts welcome, the more blogs and podcasters see this, the better.
Confession time.
Years ago I rolled Scrum out with my team strictly by the Guide. Sprints, points, standups, all of it. Truth is, I hadn't understood the first thing about agile. Pure cargo cult, and I couldn't even see it at the time.
Your turn: what's the most anti-agile thing you've done, and what did it teach you?
Answer in any language. Tag #AgileConfessions so we find each other.
If you like, nudge 1 to 3 people you'd want to hear from. No pressure.

Architects often start hopeful and end up worn down, watching their vision get stripped back by old systems and competing priorities. Larisa Feldman spent years avoiding the role for that exact reason, until she found a place where it could work differently.

Hi Fedifriends,
I am writing to you to ask for a favor.
I'm lining up some guests to have conversations with on Vibe Coded #Podcast who bring an invigorating perspective on fedi, big tech, online/offline social movements, etc.
Who would you recommend I reach out to? My own list is growing but I'm sure there are other people I absolutely should connect with. ☺️
TIA ✌️
Vielleicht mögen die, die NBA Kompakt bisher gehört haben, mal sagen, wie sie das Format "5 Minuten kompakt" und auch fertige Reihenfolge mit aufeinander bauenden Themen so finden? Feedback is immer gut! Danke!
Die kommende Folge 8 "Warum Agilität nicht tot ist" schließt den ersten Teil "Fundament" von NBA Kompakt ab. Danach steigen wir in die Work-Feedback Loop ein.
NBA Kompakt ist mein Podcast Format in dem ich in einer sinnvollen Reihenfolge in jeweils 5-Minuten-Folgen kompakt Aspekte des agilen Arbeitens bespreche.
