Using Free Github Compute

Dan explains how he uses GitHub Actions for non-code tasks—specifically automating his podcast workflow. He wires up n8n and a Telegram bot to trigger GitHub workflows that run FFmpeg to generate thumbnails, stitch images to audio for YouTube, and extract short clips. Benefits: no VPS, easy edits (even on a phone), free runner minutes and downloadable artifacts (30-day retention). Stay connected!
