We delve into the top 3 open-source revenue streams, expose the pitfalls, and discuss what could be done quickly to improve the situation.

We asked, and you answered: Your top 5 Linux app essentials and post-install rituals. Plus, some news to better cope with "extreme file-system damage."

Why does Meta give away Llma for free? What's in it for them?

We’ll help you get your Nostr identity and answer any questions.

Alex goes head-to-head with budget VPS providers, which gets us into a classic debate.

Microsoft wins the foot-in-mouth award this week, and Google gets the Rust religion - but Mike is skeptical.

We're breaking down the attack: how it works, how it was hidden, and why time was running out for the attacker.

Mike makes the case for just going vanilla, a look at Google Carbon, and then we address the expensive elephant in the room.

We test the Linux-first, all-AMD Sirius 16 laptop, discuss the new Hyprland release, and share a few stories from our recent trip.

The antitrust gloves are off as Apple’s legal brawl with Uncle Sam kicks into high gear. We dig through the documents and are surprised by a few things that seem off.

Alex rolls back a major server upgrade, and we have fun playing with local large language models. Special Guest: Wes Payne.

We're on the ground live at NixCon and SCaLE. We catch up with old friends, and discover how Nix is devouring the Linux world one function at a time.

NVIDIA locks CUDA down further, and we ponder what it might take to break their stranglehold on the market, Zuck's brilliant move that put an egg on his face, and we take a minute to appreciate new developments with Java.

We each bring surprise topics, a mix of hardware and software, as we prepare to hit the road for NixCon and SCaLE.

Alex's new Epyc server build, and Jon Seager from Canonical joins us to chat about Nix in the homelab, packaging Scrutiny, and how Nix fits with existing infrastructure management tools. Special Guest: Jon Seager .

Apple is pissed, and we'll dig into why. Plus, there are some big hints at Apple's AI plans; Meta's had a rough morning, and Sergey Brin popped back up at Google and proceeded to blow it immediately.

Plasma 6 is out, and we've been giving it a go. What's new, our thoughts, and the lessons other desktops should learn.

Why we're awe-struck by Google, and NVIDIA's CEO says no one needs to learn how to code anymore.

Corporate AI is a hot mess, but open-source alternatives can be open-ended chaos. We’ll test some of the best ways to get local AI tools under your control.

We chat about VMware's rug pull with Bret, aka Raid Owl, and then get into Unraid's big changes and more. Special Guest: Raid Owl.

We embrace the dad bod lifestyle and find out if Apple's Vision Pro demo sold Mike, and Chris is picking up on what the Zuck is putting down.

Chris spends the week in a VR desktop, revealing the glitches, gains, and VR's open-source future.

Why we think Nvidia has become one of the most valuable companies in the world, Sam's new "mind boggling" idea, and more.

Deploying Nextcloud the Nix way promises a paradise of reproducibility and simplicity. But is it just a painful trek through configuration hell? We built the dream Nextcloud using Nix and faced reality. Special Guest: Alex Kretzschmar.

Alex has been deep-diving into container networking, and Chris is trying to steelman Plex's new rental service.

Chris tries out Spatial Computing using a $3,200 trick, and Mike has a Rails treat you won't want to miss.

Some uncomfortable truths about using Linux, and then we introduce a new segment: Will it Nix?

If you're going to come at the king, you better not miss; now it's Apple's turn to make everyone feel pain.

Data-hoard with purpose and manage your audiobooks and podcasts with one application, plus the lone Linux box that remains on Mars.

We knew they'd be petulant, but even our expectations were higher than this. We dig into how Apple dunked on devs after last week's show, yet another Microsoft hack, and more.

Trying NixOS can be fraught with complexity, half-completed guides, and boring videos. Even if you never plan to switch to NixOS, we invite you to come along for a hype-free ride that digs into one of the most rapidly developing areas of Linux.

They are building AI into toilets now; CES was a clown show. But we put our business hats on and find the bright side.
