simpleauthority That's cool, but I would want to make sure my website is able to stringently block AI crawlers who would seek to train on that (sad but true)
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "audioblogging/" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "audioblogging/ is ____", a sentence describing the term)

[KevinMarks]2 Well, Audioblogging is what Podcasting was called before it got a catchy name
duckito, bterry, madude and neonaut joined the channel
# [Sophia_wood] I think of audio blogging as something different.
# [Sophia_wood] Podcasts make me feel like they are a bit more of a production
# [morgan] I love recording small audio samples, its been a favorite hobby for a year or two
# [morgan] havent really felt like publishing any of them on my website or otherwise

# [morgan] the voice training bot thing worry fear concern is so frustrating
# [morgan] we should be able to share without that being a concern
# [morgan] but alas, this is a partially pretty bad timeline

# simpleauthority regarding AI training worries, has anyone heard of anubis? it's a small proxy (might be indieweb-dev territory) that you can run in front of your website. most AI bots cannot get past it

# 
[artlung] Anubis is documented on https://indieweb.org/large_language_model_traffic - yes, several folks here use it
# simpleauthority oh very nice!
# [artlung] here's a story on boingboing about the shutdown of Audioblogger from 2006 - https://boingboing.net/2006/10/05/audioblogger-rip.html - yes, audioblogging meant something different in the past. https://artlung.com/blog/2010/02/15/audioblogger-com-posts-recovered/
# 
WinnerWind simpleauthority: probably a bit late but I have heard of anubis
# WinnerWind i talked about it in my blog, personally iocaine is a far better soln.
# WinnerWind anubis is nice but making javascript compulsory to use your site blocks a lot of users unfortunately
# [artlung] https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/configuration/challenges/metarefresh/ is linked from the llm traffic page and it's a no-js anubis configuration. how effective it is I can't say but it's worth noting.
# WinnerWind sorry!
# WinnerWind im curious, is Loqi a bot or a user?
# WinnerWind ah, okay
# WinnerWind it speaks a lot like a user, caught me off guard
# [tantek]4 Who is Loqi?
# Loqi Loqi is a friendly and useful bot, digital assistant present in the IndieWeb discussion channels https://indieweb.org/User:Loqi.me
# WinnerWind oh wow this is quite advanced

crowdersoup Not sure how it happened but I posted a reply from alltogethernow.io to my blog. It was meant to be in response to https://cleverdevil.io/2026/you-know-its-a-good-night-when but somehow wires got crossed and it went to https://tantek.com/2025/300/t18 instead lol.

# btrem Regarding audioblogging, I've done a bit of that, mostly recording and posting bird songs. Definitely not what I'd call podcasting. I don't do it very often because of the tediousness of editing audio, exporting it in two formats, and outputting the necessary markup. Cue Loqi to rap me on the knucles. But I'd like to point out that I'm only responding to an earlier comment.
