Speaking of using AI to transform data; I recently started using Nextcloud Cookbook (it's fantastic). It has a feature where you paste in URL to a site that's compliant with the schema.org recipe format. This allows you to automatically import recipes into your own cookbook.. the issue is that a lot of the blogspammy sites don't follow this schema! Last week I had a thought: "AI could probably fix this!". So I found a recipe I liked, copied the content of the page, then wrote the following (1/*)

there’s an entire world of packet based radio out there protocols like ax.25, DMR, FT8. FT8 is getting very popular. basically you can make short contacts to people around the world just using software and a radio, which is great for an introvert like myself. DMR is fun because you can have a pi zero w running special software tethered to your phone a DMR compatible hand radio and talk to people all over the world. i got my license less than a year ago so much to learn and lots of fun.

Well happy birthday Mr Gervais, you young whipper snapper! I hope you get lots of gluten free cake, or other treat, or both. You're awesome! Just signed up for my second jupiter.party membership! Figured that would be easier on you guys than figuring out a new plan and all the complexities that go into that. I'm not the most consistent booster.. and am stuck in a long-term relationship with AP so streaming sats won't work out yet, but autopay sure will! 😆

As a fellow gluten free person, I can attest that there are great gluten free cakes being made out there. If y'all are in the Portland Metro area, I got my wedding cake from Unicorn Bake shop. Here is a potential list that are towards Chris the next time Brent is down that way. Happy Birthday! https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/us/wa/seattle/bakeries

Forgot to boost this in last week for a show suggestion, so to make up for it, I also signed up for a show membership too. Wouldn't mind seeing something on Linux security, with a focus on hardening and devices like opencanary or Security Onion, along with amateur radio on linux. What can I say, I do both. Thank you for this podcast.

Wanted to give your all my sats earned through Fountain. Thanks for such great content. This is my postcode boost if you multiply the boost amount by 41 and convert the number from decimal to base 36! (Base 36 being the smallest number system to include all the numerals (0-9) and the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet) Keep up the great work everyone

prompt into ChatGPT: "Here's a recipe, please convert it into the schema.org recipe format: <pasted recipe text>". It spit out the properly formatted recipe, complete with ingredients, steps, and nutrition information! I pasted the response into an html file, spun up a small flask server, then pasted the resulting URL into Nextcloud Cookbook and it worked like magic! Imagine if they integrated AI directly into the app so it can read any website without all this extra effort! Cool stuff. (2/*)

BTW, I'm about to batch open a bunch of channels, do you guys need inbound liquidity? Which node should I peer with? (The first boost in the chain is a zipcode boost)
