YATA - You Are The Algorithm

Permanerd & Oshi

We decide what to talk about. You decide whether to listen.
No set agenda. Just what we’re noticing, what keeps repeating, and where that leads.
Like everything in your life, you decide your own algorithm.
You are the algorithm.

    In this episode of the YADA podcast, Oshi and Permanerd finally bring you “episode 2b” after a legendary technical mishap—doubling down with backups and plenty of laughs about our epic fail. We unpack the show’s mantra—You Are The Algorithm—and our value-for-value approach, inviting listeners to return whatever value they feel they received via notes, zaps, or simply listening. We share transparent analytics from our Podhome.fm hosting, shout out early boosters, and introduce the “Like'um Jar” to curb our filler words—funds destined for a community-picked cause. We also riff on playback-speed nerdiness, favorite music from Pink Floyd to Rush, and the beauty of discovering independent artists via value-for-value platforms. The core of the episode dives into practical, sovereign Bitcoin commerce. We compare our setups using BTCPay Server, Lightning channels, Alby Hub, and self-hosted stacks on Umbral/Start9, plus simple storefront approaches (iframes vs. API-driven sites), channel management, and fee-savvy flows to cold storage. We explain Nostr for newcomers—portable identity, relays, and zaps—and why protocols beat platforms. We spotlight tools like Helipad for live boost tracking, Obsidian for note workflows, and share ideas for a website, live “um” counter, and public Lightning balance display. We close with community invites for guest chats (builders, shop owners, creators), notes about what's in stock at our shops, and a reminder: you are the algorithm—reach out, boost, and let us know where you’re listening from.

    #1 Decentralize Everything: Our YATA Origin Story

    In our inaugural YATA (You Are The Algorithm) episode, Permanerd and Oshi sit down to kick off a freewheeling, non‑linear conversation about self‑sovereignty and building in the open. We talk through why we’re drawn to decentralized protocols like Nostr and how Bitcoin and Podcasting 2.0 fit a value‑for‑value mindset. Along the way we swap stories about onboarding pains and wins—blank-slate feeds, keypairs, and relays; boosts vs. zaps; and the very real tradeoffs between convenience and freedom. We also get practical: Oshi walks through how he used AI assistants inside an IDE to build his new site, we clear up IDE vs. CLI, and we riff on open‑source stacks—from Linux on the desktop to GrapheneOS on mobile—and the everyday friction of living Google‑free (maps, messaging, and more). We close with how to reach us on Nostr, why we’ll publish without paywalls, and an open invite to send questions and ideas we can tackle in future episodes. Music by Lunapilot.
