Linux Inlaws

This episode is witness to our two ageing heroes taking a closer look at the mysterious and wonderful world of esoteric programming languages. So if you ever wanted to know what Brainfuck is really all about (but were too afraid to ask selected members of your family never mind your computer science lecturer), wanted to find out where Forth and Prolog are really used never mind what Zig is all about - you don't want to miss this episode. Plus a trip down memory lane (if our two heroes can remember where to find this memory lane thing). <p>Links</p> <ul><li>Prolog: <a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Prolog" target=_blank>https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Prolog</a></li> <li>Zig: <a href="https://ziglang.org" target=_blank>https://ziglang.org</a></li> <li>Forth: <a href="https://forth-standard.org" target=_blank>https://forth-standard.org</a></li> <li>Open Firmware: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Firmware" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Firmware</a></li> <li>Sinclair ZX81: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zx-81" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zx-81</a></li> <li>MUMPS: <a href="https://www.cs.uni.edu/~okane" target=_blank>https://www.cs.uni.edu/~okane</a></li> <li>Brainfuck: <a href="https://brainfuck.org" target=_blank>https://brainfuck.org</a></li> <li>Ook!: <a href="https://esolangs.org/wiki/Ook!" target=_blank>https://esolangs.org/wiki/Ook!</a></li> <li>Whitespace: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150618184706/http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/tutorial.php" target=_blank>https://web.archive.org/web/20150618184706/http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/tutorial.php</a></li> <li>Bull$hit: <a href="https://github.com/jkstpierre/Bullshit-Programming-Language" target=_blank>https://github.com/jkstpierre/Bullshit-Programming-Language</a></li> <li>Alan Turing: <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/people/alan-turing" target=_blank>https://www.newscientist.com/people/alan-turing</a></li> <li>ArnoldC: <a href="https://github.com/lhartikk/ArnoldC" target=_blank>https://github.com/lhartikk/ArnoldC</a></li> <li>Esolang: <a href="https://esolangs.org/wiki/Main_Page" target=_blank>https://esolangs.org/wiki/Main_Page</a></li> <li>Omgrofl: <a href="https://github.com/OlegSmelov/omgrofl-interpreter" target=_blank>https://github.com/OlegSmelov/omgrofl-interpreter</a></li> <li>Chef: <a href="https://esolangs.org/wiki/Chef" target=_blank>https://esolangs.org/wiki/Chef</a></li> <li>Oxyde: <a href="https://oxyde.cloud" target=_blank>https://oxyde.cloud</a></li> </ul>

This episode is all about getting computers up and running. The software that kicks in after you flick the power switch until the operating system kernel starts up to be more precise. And to be more precise, today's episode is about Coreboot, a FLOSS project aimed at replacing BIOS (rarely these days), UEFI (more often these days) and friends. Plus quite a few primers on CPUs, RAM chips and other esoteric aspects that you always wanted to know about but were too afraid to ask :-). <p>Links</p> <ul><li>IPL/booting: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booting#History" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booting#History</a></li> <li>BIOS: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS</a></li> <li>Floppy disk: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk</a></li> <li>UEFI: <a href="https://uefi.org" target=_blank>https://uefi.org</a></li> <li>Coreboot: <a href="https://www.coreboot.org" target=_blank>https://www.coreboot.org</a></li> <li>Canonical's UEFI shim: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot" target=_blank>https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot</a></li> <li>Device Tree spec: <a href="https://www.devicetree.org" target=_blank>https://www.devicetree.org</a></li> <li>Oreboot: <a href="https://github.com/oreboot/oreboot" target=_blank>https://github.com/oreboot/oreboot</a></li> <li>Linus about C++ and the Linux kernel: <a href="https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/20/20" target=_blank>https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/20/20</a></li> <li>HP Moonshot: <a href="https://www.hewlettpackardhistory.com/item/the-miracle-of-moonshot" target=_blank>https://www.hewlettpackardhistory.com/item/the-miracle-of-moonshot</a></li> <li>Das U-Boot: <a href="https://u-boot.org" target=_blank>https://u-boot.org</a></li> <li>Gummiboot (now systemd-boot): <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-boot.html" target=_blank>https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-boot.html</a></li> <li>Libreboot: <a href="https://libreboot.org" target=_blank>https://libreboot.org</a></li> <li>Grumpy Old Coders: <a href="https://grumpy-old-coders.org" target=_blank>https://grumpy-old-coders.org</a></li> <li>Software Freedom Podcast: <a href="https://fsfe.org/news/podcast.en.html" target=_blank>https://fsfe.org/news/podcast.en.html</a></li> </ul>

This episode is all about the CI/CD of software, standing for chaotic implementation and complete disaster of course :-). Much more seriously, our two ageing heroes take a look at what's out there for the support of continuous integration and continuous deployment of software (you guessed this right? :-). Plus lots of bonus content: Hipster methodologies for developing software, a crash course on two of our most beloved subjects when it comes down to developing the stuf (agile/Scrum), how to really master software quality assurance (hint: no, it's not avoiding it completely! :-) and much much more. So don't miss this episode! If you can't get to sleep.

Like Github but don't like the company behind it? Then look no further! This episode has Otto Richter and Michael Jerger never mind our lovely elder two hosts discussing Codeberg, an FLOSS alternative to Github, Gitlab and corporate friends. Using a federated technology based on our beloved git, invented by Linus and friends all those years ago. Sounds fascinating? Then don't miss the episode!

We have made it! Six years in the making and still going strong. With a steadily increasing audience of - wait for it - at least ten listeners. When they can't get to sleep or have nothing else to do. Or - gosh - want to learn something. Like what's Usenet. And why Linux has been so important (yes, it all will be revealed in this episode!). Including a crash course on operating system design (including the operating system war) and CPU design history. Never mind how humorous works. So wars or not, you have an hour to spare, can't get to sleep or want to learn something, never mind want to know why our beloved operating system conquered the world and how humor works and much, much more, you certainly don't want to miss this episode!

This episode features Thunderbird, one of the (if not the most) popular mail clients in the FLOSS ecosystem. Heather Ellsworth, a buddying physicist turned DevRel (better late than never) from the project spills the beans on the history of the project not only in a Mozilla context, explains that TB's hiatus is just another urban myth and what's ahead for the project. In terms of future roadmap, monetisation and world domination. If that sounds familiar, it should! As the Inlaws have been pondering these last few topics for more than six years now. Although in contrast to Thunderbird with limited success (until now, if you want to know more on these topics and more, don't miss the next episode!). <p>Links</p> <ul><li>Higgs Boson: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson</a></li> <li>Altas @ CERN: <a href="https://atlas.cern" target=_blank>https://atlas.cern</a></li> <li>Thunderbird: <a href="https://github.com/mozilla/releases-comm-central" target=_blank>https://github.com/mozilla/releases-comm-central</a></li> <li>Waldorf: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-pope-uk" target=_blank>https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-pope-uk</a></li> <li>Statler (or the other way around): <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinwimpress" target=_blank>https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinwimpress</a></li> <li>Thunderbird's history (starting at the very beginning): <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mozilla_Application_Suite" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mozilla_Application_Suite</a></li> <li>Seamonkey: <a href="https://www.seamonkey-project.org" target=_blank>https://www.seamonkey-project.org</a></li> <li>Rust in Production Thunderbird episode: <a href="https://corrode.dev/podcast/s02e03-thunderbird/" target=_blank>https://corrode.dev/podcast/s02e03-thunderbird/</a></li> <li>Thunderbird on Android: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.thunderbird.android" target=_blank>https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.thunderbird.android</a></li> <li>OpenPGP episode: <a href="https://archive.org/details/LI_S02E22_OpenPGP__7525" target=_blank>https://archive.org/details/LI_S02E22_OpenPGP__7525</a></li> <li>Thunderbird PRO: <a href="https://tb.pro" target=_blank>https://tb.pro</a></li> <li>Thunderbird's Call For Action: <a href="https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/participate" target=_blank>https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/participate</a></li> <li>Mozilla's Bugzilla: <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home" target=_blank>https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home</a></li> <li>umu launcher: <a href="https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher" target=_blank>https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher</a></li> <li>Open Printing: <a href="https://openprinting.github.io" target=_blank>https://openprinting.github.io</a></li> <li>Bugonia: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12300742/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_accord_1_cdt_t_2" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12300742/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_accord_1_cdt_t_2</a></li> </ul>

This episode - recorded in an ultra-secret location near a border (any border will do - almost :-) - is witness to our two ageing heroes being in the same location for a change and gives away some giveaways. For the first time in the Inlaws' history, this episode features a glimpse into the future of the show: an overview of what's to come in 2026! Plus the usual banter about Trump, some FLOSS topics and why red wine for breakfast is almost always the better option. And some beans are spilled - for example, Martin's first programming language (hint: in contrast to popular belief, this wasn't IBM mainframe assembler which was all the rage in the sixties). Plus more from Martin's distant past - if he can remember it. <p>Links</p> <ul><li>VIC-20: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIC-20" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIC-20</a></li> <li>Commodore Basic: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_BASIC" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_BASIC</a></li> <li>ALGOL 68: <a href="https://softwarepreservation.computerhistory.org/ALGOL/report/Algol68_revised_report-AB.pdf" target=_blank>https://softwarepreservation.computerhistory.org/ALGOL/report/Algol68_revised_report-AB.pdf</a></li> <li>PDP 11 assembler: <a href="https://programmer209.wordpress.com/2011/08/03/the-pdp-11-assembly-language" target=_blank>https://programmer209.wordpress.com/2011/08/03/the-pdp-11-assembly-language</a></li> <li>Smalltalk: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smalltalk" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smalltalk</a></li> <li>XBox system software: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_system_software" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_system_software</a></li> <li>Xkcd & Nebraska: <a href="https://xkcd.com/2347" target=_blank>https://xkcd.com/2347</a></li> <li>Excel-managed company: <a href="https://xkcd.com/1906" target=_blank>https://xkcd.com/1906</a></li> <li>OpenCL: <a href="https://www.khronos.org/opencl" target=_blank>https://www.khronos.org/opencl</a></li> <li>Jever: <a href="https://www.jever-beer.com" target=_blank>https://www.jever-beer.com</a></li> <li>Lucifer: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4052886" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4052886</a></li> </ul>

As 'tis the season, we have a combined Xmas and New Year's episode for you. And what a blast this is! The usual suspects will make an appearance - all those characters which you have known for years and probably already taken a shine to. Yes, this does include the Grumpies (the Grumpy Old Coders) for the uninitiated, our beloved countess Vladessa and of course our two hosts Martin and Chris. This time (as it has been a tradition for the last two year by now) impersonated by two lovely large language models (LLMs). Which goes to show that - in contrast to popular belief - LLMs DO have humour and CAN make jokes. If so forced into this... For a laughter or two and a bit of fun, don't miss this episode. Plus bonus content: The real truth behind the Redis / Valkey split, how to pack a swimming pool, sauna and much more all into one motorcycle and what this has to do with FLOSS. Or not. <p>Links</p> <ul><li>This year's Halloween episode: <a href="https://archive.org/details/LI_S02E49_Halloween_2025__A6B0" target=_blank>https://archive.org/details/LI_S02E49_Halloween_2025__A6B0</a></li> <li>Grumpy Old Coders: <a href="https://grumpy-old-coders.org" target=_blank>https://grumpy-old-coders.org</a></li> <li>Honda Goldwing: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Gold_Wing" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Gold_Wing</a></li> <li>The Bottlerocket episode: <a href="https://archive.org/details/LI_S01E80_Bottlerocket__605D" target=_blank>https://archive.org/details/LI_S01E80_Bottlerocket__605D</a></li> <li>Redis' license change: <a href="https://redis.io/blog/agplv3" target=_blank>https://redis.io/blog/agplv3</a></li> <li>Salvatore's post on the Redis license change: <a href="https://antirez.com/news/151" target=_blank>https://antirez.com/news/151</a></li> <li>Atlas comet: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc4A8va8NRU" target=_blank>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc4A8va8NRU</a></li> <li>Avi Loeb's take on this: <a href="https://avi-loeb.medium.com/the-inspiration-delivered-by-3i-atlas-to-our-doorstep-c7bc08115d0f" target=_blank>https://avi-loeb.medium.com/the-inspiration-delivered-by-3i-atlas-to-our-doorstep-c7bc08115d0f</a></li> <li>Armageddon: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120591/?ref_=fn_t_1" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120591/?ref_=fn_t_1</a></li> <li>Push: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465580/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_push" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465580/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_push</a></li> <li>Playdate: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31425731/?ref_=fn_t_1" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31425731/?ref_=fn_t_1</a></li> <li>The Substance: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17526714/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_the%2520substance" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17526714/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_the%2520substance</a></li> <li>Pluribus: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22202452/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_6_nm_2_in_0_q_plurib" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22202452/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_6_nm_2_in_0_q_plurib</a></li> <li>The Witcher: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5180504/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_6_nm_1_in_0_q_the%2520wit" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5180504/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_6_nm_1_in_0_q_the%2520wit</a></li> <li>Altered Carbon: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2261227/?ref_=fn_t_1" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2261227/?ref_=fn_t_1</a></li> </ul>

In this episode Martin and Chris talk to Klaus Knopper of Knoppix fame. For the few listeners who do not know what Knoppix is: Just listen to the episode (hint: it's one of the oldest life distros on the planet). Plus more on Linux for handicapped users. And the challenges of maintaining a distro and how to overcome them (watch out for the magic contained in this segment!). And an abbreviated history of Linux (esp. in Germany). Never mind Microsoft's dirty secrets involving Unix, Linux and some other things swept under the rug of history. <p>Links</p> <ul><li>Linux Tag: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxTag" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxTag</a></li> <li>Knoppix: <a href="http://www.knoppix.org" target=_blank>http://www.knoppix.org</a></li> <li>Damn small Linux: <a href="https://www.damnsmalllinux.org" target=_blank>https://www.damnsmalllinux.org</a></li> <li>Knoppix for Windows: <a href="https://runtime.org/data-recovery-live-cd.htm" target=_blank>https://runtime.org/data-recovery-live-cd.htm</a></li> <li>Yocto: <a href="https://www.yoctoproject.org" target=_blank>https://www.yoctoproject.org</a></li> <li>linbo: <a href="https://github.com/linuxmuster/linuxmuster-linbo" target=_blank>https://github.com/linuxmuster/linuxmuster-linbo</a></li> <li>Screenreader for Blind Linux Users (SLB): <a href="https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE%3AFactory/sbl" target=_blank>https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE%3AFactory/sbl</a></li> <li>espeak-ng: <a href="https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng" target=_blank>https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng</a></li> <li>Adriane: <a href="https://www.knopper.net/knoppix-adriane/index-en.html" target=_blank>https://www.knopper.net/knoppix-adriane/index-en.html</a></li> <li>Guy Fawkes: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes</a></li> <li>Led Zeppelin untitled album (aka IV): <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin_IV" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin_IV</a></li> </ul>

This episode introduces a somewhat brand-new concept: an off-topic subject. As in: How to excel in the beautiful and ancient art of Origami (the Japanese fine art of paper folding, going back a few centuries if not more). Still reading? Excellent! Jokes aside, in this episode Martin and Chris will shed more light on one of their dark sides of their lives. To be more precise: podcasts the Inlaws (as in: we) listen to. Apart from the most famous one called Linux Inlaws (and if you believe this, you'll believe anything :-)). But stay tuned: If you are longing for more details of the very private life of our two ageing heroes, this is the episode you do not want to miss!

The focus of this episode is Long Range WAN (also affectionately known as LoRaWAN. For those few people in the audience that don't have a clue: Just listen to episode - all will be revealed! Clue: it does have to do with that dreaded thing called the Internet of Things (and much much more). So stay tuned for the details! Plus bonus content: Martin finally sees the light and praises Rust (maybe). And much speculation about Valkey, Redis and other oddities. And - wait for it - Martin again ventures into the strange and wonderful world of agriculture. As in: Getting down and dirty with cows, sheep, pigs and other livestock. Plus bonus content: Martin's views on British politics in general and Keir Starmer in particular.

In this scary Halloween episode, Martin and Chris touch on a horrible subject indeed: a 100+ years o life experience. Be prepared for the dreadful details of more than a century of combined wisdom (really?). And, yes, FLOSS maybe involved. Plus: More from another dark side: our beloved Tech Support makes an appearance once again and helps a certain Transylvanian countess with their movie problem. And more bonus content awaits: a primer on floppy disks. Confused? You should be!

The focus of this episode is Gnu Taler, an answer to the questions that Diem, various crypto currency shenanigans and other attempts at world domination via money pose to wider audience. Martin and Chris discuss the ins and outs of this approach with two of the main people behind the project, Christian Grothoff and Leo Wittman.

Tied up, shackled and then some: In contrast what you may be thinking after this intro, in this episode Martin and Chris take a closer look at an obscure concept known not only in esoteric circles as the software supply chain (chain being the keyword here). Once only appreciated by the inner circle of a small group of level-eight magicians, this concepts has now entered mainstream and is considered instrumental not only in the area creating and maintaining large scale codebases possibly clocking up a few million lines of code. This especially becomes important when a codebase largely relies on FLOSS components commonly downloaded from the internet. Relying on these components may cause a security issue if not handled with caution as not only the recent xz-utils incident (where possibly a nation-state actor) managed to infiltrate a popular compression library virtually used everywhere. So if you're interested in the security of your builds and applications, this is another episode you don't want to miss. <p>Links</p> <ul><li>Left-pad incident: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npm_left-pad_incident" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npm_left-pad_incident</a></li> <li>Lucene library: <a href="https://lucene.apache.org/core" target=_blank>https://lucene.apache.org/core</a></li> <li>Open source licenses episode (S01E36): <a href="https://archive.org/details/hpr3399" target=_blank>https://archive.org/details/hpr3399</a></li> <li>SBOMs: <a href="https://about.gitlab.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-sboms" target=_blank>https://about.gitlab.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-sboms</a></li> <li>XZ Utils backdoor: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor</a></li> <li>OpenSSF's tools (not just SBOMs): <a href="https://openssf.org/projects" target=_blank>https://openssf.org/projects</a></li> <li>Autotools: <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Autotools-Introduction.html" target=_blank>https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Autotools-Introduction.html</a></li> <li>SPDX: <a href="https://spdx.dev" target=_blank>https://spdx.dev</a></li> <li>CycloneDX: <a href="https://cyclonedx.org" target=_blank>https://cyclonedx.org</a></li> <li>valkey-search: <a href="https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey-" target=_blank>https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey-</a></li> <li>Thunderbolts: <a href="https://www.marvel.com/movies/thunderbolts" target=_blank>https://www.marvel.com/movies/thunderbolts</a></li> </ul>

In this episode Martin and Chris are joined by no other than Brian Proffitt. Brian Who? If you ask that question, you belong to the approximate 2% of our listenership who don't know this head of the Open Source Program Office (OSPO) of a tiny start-up called Redhat :-). Then this episode is especially for you. But apart from contributing to Redhat's OSPO Brian wears many other hats as well (hint: chaos and native americans feature on this list as well.

This episode features Jack Rhysider of Darknet Diaries fame. Being an off-topic show (more to come here, for example, how to fail miserably when putting a puppet administration in place - we have screwed things up for the first two terms, but maybe Mr. Trump does have a third term?), we go into the nitty-gritty of how to produce a really successful podcast with millions of downloads (this is where Jack does most of the talking as Martin and myself are taking notes :-), why marketing is so important and how to not do marketing. Plus bonus content on neurotransmitters and how brains work in general (yours included). So you don't want to miss this one instead of doing the dishes, mowing the lawn or getting a root canal treatment (insert your chore of choice here). And if you want to know how many Inlaws episodes Jack's been listening to over the years, don't fast-forward to ten minutes and thirty-five seconds of this show. :-) <p>Links</p> <ul><li>Darknet Diaries: <a href="https://darknetdiaries.com" target=_blank>https://darknetdiaries.com</a></li> <li>Malicious Life (R.I.P.): <a href="https://malicious.life" target=_blank>https://malicious.life</a></li> <li>Jack's blog: <a href="https://blog.lime.link" target=_blank>https://blog.lime.link</a></li> <li>Howard Stern show: <a href="https://www.howardstern.com" target=_blank>https://www.howardstern.com</a></li> <li>Waymo (Alphabet, you owe us!): <a href="https://waymo.com" target=_blank>https://waymo.com</a></li> <li>Nemesis: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18378942" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18378942</a></li> <li>The Art of Human Hacking: <a href="https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Social-Engineering-Art-Human-Hacking/dp/0470639539" target=_blank>https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Social-Engineering-Art-Human-Hacking/dp/0470639539</a></li> </ul>

This show hosts Michael Jerger, a German entrepreneur who has successfully built a small empire of selling services around FLOSS components which his company has contributed to the community over the years. So if you always wanted to know how federated version control systems actually work, how to program Kubernetes using a functional programming language instead of using boring Helm charts and what the deal with China, trademarks (Linux Inlaws and perhaps other trademarks) is, you really, really don't want to miss this episode! <p>Links</p> <ul><li>Meissa GmbH (in German): <a href="https://meissa-gmbh.de" target=_blank>https://meissa-gmbh.de</a></li> <li>Tübix (in German): <a href="https://www.tuebix.org" target=_blank>https://www.tuebix.org</a></li> <li>Forgejo: <a href="https://github.com/forgejo" target=_blank>https://github.com/forgejo</a></li> <li>Gitea: <a href="https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea" target=_blank>https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea</a></li> <li>Gogs: <a href="https://github.com/gogs/gogs" target=_blank>https://github.com/gogs/gogs</a></li> <li>Codeberg: <a href="https://codeberg.org" target=_blank>https://codeberg.org</a></li> <li>Popularity of source code hosting sites: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_source-code-hosting_facilities#Popularity" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_source-code-hosting_facilities#Popularity</a></li> <li>Convention 4 Kubernetes (c4k): <a href="https://github.com/DomainDrivenArchitecture/c4k-common" target=_blank>https://github.com/DomainDrivenArchitecture/c4k-common</a></li> <li>Clojure: <a href="https://clojure.org" target=_blank>https://clojure.org</a></li> <li>c4k-keycloak: <a href="https://repo.prod.meissa.de/meissa/c4k-keycloak" target=_blank>https://repo.prod.meissa.de/meissa/c4k-keycloak</a></li> <li>Fefes blog (in German): <a href="https://blog.fefe.de" target=_blank>https://blog.fefe.de</a></li> <li>Microsoft's Typescript move: <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/typescript-native-port" target=_blank>https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/typescript-native-port</a></li> <li>Lina Khan: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Khan" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Khan</a></li> <li>Lina's seminal paper on anti-trust issues: <a href="https://www.yalelawjournal.org/pdf/e.710.Khan.805_zuvfyyeh.pdf" target=_blank>https://www.yalelawjournal.org/pdf/e.710.Khan.805_zuvfyyeh.pdf</a></li> </ul>

In this episode Martin and Chris host Kyle Davis and Dmitry Polyakovsky, two members of the Valley technical steering committee. Apart from a trip down memory lane (Kyle used to be a partner in crime when Martin and Chris were still working at Redis), this episode features insights into this more-than-instantly-popular drop-in replacement for Redis, the road ahead and how the project will ultimately contribute to the world domination of the Linux Foundation (if that stage has yet to be reached :-) - stay tuned). Plus - yes, wait for it - more bonus content on Rust, our favourite pet in the programming language zoo.

This show is witness to Martin and Chris dabbling in the area of programming. Since both of them come from a computer science background, you may be forgiven to assume that this comes natural to them. Quite the opposite in fact. The lazy chaps that they are, they don't want to learn this either (which is quite challenging given their old age anyway). In order to avoid any related effort they discovered low code and no code tools and decided to do a show on their findings. So here it is :-). Plus bonus content on why artificial intelligence in general and large language models are just wrong, wrong and wrong. Never mind evil. Well, most of the time anyway. And - given the episode number of this show - why 42 is still a force to be reckoned with. <p>Links</p> <ul><li>42: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(number)" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(number)</a></li> <li>Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy</a></li> <li>The Gargleblaster: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaphod_Beeblebrox#Pan-Galactic_Gargle_Blaster" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaphod_Beeblebrox#Pan-Galactic_Gargle_Blaster</a></li> <li>Scratch: <a href="https://scratch.mit.edu" target=_blank>https://scratch.mit.edu</a></li> <li>Snap!: <a href="https://snap.berkeley.edu" target=_blank>https://snap.berkeley.edu</a></li> <li>Charles Babbage: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage</a></li> <li>Budibase: <a href="https://github.com/Budibase/budibase" target=_blank>https://github.com/Budibase/budibase</a></li> <li>Tooljet: <a href="https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet" target=_blank>https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet</a></li> <li>Joget: <a href="https://github.com/jogetworkflow" target=_blank>https://github.com/jogetworkflow</a></li> <li>MIT App Inventor: <a href="https://github.com/mit-cml/appinventor-sources" target=_blank>https://github.com/mit-cml/appinventor-sources</a></li> <li>Microsoft redundancies: <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/13/microsoft-is-cutting-3percent-of-workers-across-the-software-company.html" target=_blank>https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/13/microsoft-is-cutting-3percent-of-workers-across-the-software-company.html</a></li> <li>Formula One: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Formula-Official-History-Maurice-Hamilton/dp/1802797785/ref=sr_1_1?crid=62NZPG9HCBB1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.H1DKo7Bz9A5KvT2DYx4xDGPyw3bnt4N8OoMAJ1CBSlpSKxQCVkr1daNkgI44XHpbyD8bzAtNq9Kw4e_dNlSEwZdp5h5S3xgBDD3JroY-9vNFAXFqjkY5YCFPwH65k7Bcghv0il4XXGku4gtRVpu1hKAUACCe8TZYvU0oME8Pauq_D_eOZFAuZ7bL-p1cQPrft0qlMJcZ0VLfIPfgBOr3r9OfJphaWDcw1t4UH8FAEVM.5f1QTYOpcQfT_uxY2r2vgypVIJt5eBq3gjU5mOsovRc&dib_tag=se&keywords=Formula+1%3A+The+Official+History&qid=1748759984&sprefix=formula+1+the+official+history%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-1" target=_blank>https://www.amazon.com/Formula-Official-History-Maurice-Hamilton/dp/1802797785/ref=sr_1_1?crid=62NZPG9HCBB1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.H1DKo7Bz9A5KvT2DYx4xDGPyw3bnt4N8OoMAJ1CBSlpSKxQCVkr1daNkgI44XHpbyD8bzAtNq9Kw4e_dNlSEwZdp5h5S3xgBDD3JroY-9vNFAXFqjkY5YCFPwH65k7Bcghv0il4XXGku4gtRVpu1hKAUACCe8TZYvU0oME8Pauq_D_eOZFAuZ7bL-p1cQPrft0qlMJcZ0VLfIPfgBOr3r9OfJphaWDcw1t4UH8FAEVM.5f1QTYOpcQfT_uxY2r2vgypVIJt5eBq3gjU5mOsovRc&dib_tag=se&keywords=Formula+1%3A+The+Official+History&qid=1748759984&sprefix=formula+1+the+official+history%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-1</a></li> <li>Gone Girl (movie): <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2267998" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2267998</a></li> <li>Gone Girl (novel): <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gone_Girl_(novel)" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gone_Girl_(novel)</a></li> </ul>

This episode introduces FalkorDB, a graph database and much more as it turns out. Some old partners in crime (Guy Korland and Roi Lipman) from Martin's and Chris' days at Redis have taken the RedisGraph codebase (an extension turning native Redis into a full-blown graph DB) to new heights. Confused? Don't be - just listen to the episode.

In this episode our two hosts tackle the difficult subject of FLOSS in education. Beyond the ubiquitous Microsoft training courses thinly disguised as computer science classes in just too many second and third level education institutions. Plus bonus content: Chris sheds some light on his shady past as an assistant lecturer in computer science. Never mind obscure British cars.

The focus of this episode is an update on a FLOSS project named Nextcloud. Since the Inlaws had Frank Karlitschek, the project founder, first on the show, a lot has happened. Nextcloud evolved from a mere file-sharing solution to a full-blown collaboration suite that comes with a market place of apps, including, for example, conferencing functionality, office documents and much much more. So if you are using Nextcloud or are looking for a FLOSS collaboration suite, this show's for you.

This show is host to Chris Simmonds, an Android enthusiast and consultant. So the discussion centers around the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), post-market operating systems in that area and privacy in general.

So you're interested in one of Martin's secret lives, the Right to Repair movement and how to really jazz up a tractor, you don't want to miss this episode. Never mind a riveting discussion about size (farm sizes that is). Plus bonus content (yes, the Inlaws have spared no expense to bring you this as usual): Countess Vladessa spills the beans!

This episode is host to Mirko Böhm from the Linux Foundation Europe, a subsidiary of the largest industry association (aka the Linux Foundation) for FLOSS projects on the planet. This marks another record achievement for the Inlaws as with only roughly three minutes of length it's the shortest episode ever recorded for this podcast never mind other shows in this realm.

In this episode Python is the center of the attention. More precisely CPython, which is the reference implementation Guido van Rossum (the inventor of the language) started all those years ago in the early nineties. As Martin had to skive off to some FLOSS conference, Chris hosts Mark Shannon and Eric Snow, two CPython coredevs (also featuring Mike Müller, a Python Software Foundation fellow, thrown in for good measure), If you still think that Python is some slow interpreted language only good for esoteric big data problems never mind that latest fad called machine learning and AI in general, you don't want to miss this episode. As all of these myths are debunked. And then some.

This episode is witness to a riveting discussion about the usage of FLOSS in the telecoms industry. Which goes back approximately fifty years with Ericsson (a large Swedish telco equipment manufacturer) coming up with Erlang, a programming language still prominently used in projects such as RabbitMQ. Listen to our two heroes apply their semi-existent knowledge about FLOSS in general and telecommunications in particular in this mind-boggling episode. Plus bonus content in the shape of a crash course on the history of the telecom industry, a peek behind the scenes of iOS (or to put it another way: the gory details of this mobile operating system that you have always wanted to know but were afraid to ask) and outlook to a future episode of your beloved podcast (gasp!).

In this episode, Martin and Chris talk about the use of FLOSS in real estate. Chris laments his big landowner woes which he got into after inheriting a zoo of different pieces of real estate some time ago. And how he solved this using FLOSS components that put sense into half-baked billing information coming from property management companies and how a neural net was recruited to help along the way. Even if you're not insane but just curious about how it's done you don't want to miss this episode. Plus bonus content about what happened to format of the show and why that was. <p>Links</p> <ul><li>microrealestate: <a href="https://github.com/microrealestate/microrealestate" target=_blank>https://github.com/microrealestate/microrealestate</a></li> <li>condo: <a href="https://github.com/open-condo-software/condo" target=_blank>https://github.com/open-condo-software/condo</a></li> <li>OPRM: <a href="https://bigprof.com/appgini/applications/online-rental-property-manager" target=_blank>https://bigprof.com/appgini/applications/online-rental-property-manager</a></li> <li>ORPMS: <a href="https://orpms.github.io/orpms" target=_blank>https://orpms.github.io/orpms</a></li> <li>minical: <a href="https://github.com/minical/minical" target=_blank>https://github.com/minical/minical</a></li> <li>OpenMAINT: <a href="https://www.openmaint.org" target=_blank>https://www.openmaint.org</a></li> <li>OTRS: <a href="https://otrs.com " target=_blank>https://otrs.com </a></li> <li>Beautiful Soup: <a href="https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup" target=_blank>https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup</a></li> <li>Reading ODS files with Python: <a href="https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel" target=_blank>https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel</a></li> <li>Tensorflow: <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org" target=_blank>https://www.tensorflow.org</a></li> <li>Creating Word documents from Python: <a href="https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx" target=_blank>https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx</a></li> <li>Syknet documentaries: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_(franchise)" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_(franchise)</a></li> <li>Codes, ciphers, and computers: <a href="An introduction to information security" target=_blank>An introduction to information security</a></li> <li>Nosferatu (1922 version): <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0013442" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0013442</a></li> </ul>

In this episode Martin and Chris host Hadi Hariri and Sebastian Aigner from Jetbrains to talk about Kotlin, IDEs, world domination and many other topics. Such as politics (maybe). And protein bars and their rise to fame in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. And how Google was actually kidnapped. Confused? You should be.

In this anniversary episode our two ageing heroes recount the last five years of the Inlaws and the progress of the famous five year plan (as avid listeners will probably recall from earlier anniversary episodes - if you can't, there's always the back-catalogue).

In this episode the Inlaws host Zoë Kooyman and Greg Farough from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), one of the backbones of the FLOSS movement. Home to many primordial projects including the GNU congregation of free software such as Emacs and its compiler collection, the FSF can look back on forty years of shaping the FLOSS ecosystem in a way that few other organisations have managed to achieve. So if you wanted to know why Emacs is actually an operating system rather than just an editor, what the FSF really is beyond Richard M. Stallman and what's in store for the FSF, then you don't want to miss this episode! Plus bonus content: the low-down on Dutch street organs and a really well-kept Dutch secret (woa!).

This episode shines some light on a new (?) technology entering the Linux kernel. Traditionally the Linux has been programmed using C, a programming language almost as old as our two hosts, and assembler for the machine-dependent parts which cannot be done in C. A few years back a couple of kernel devs started to explore the possibility of using a modern, much safer system programming language by the name of Rust (as featured quite a few times on this podcast in the past - check out the back catalog for the details). Even if you're not a kernel dev check out the episode if you're interested in kernel programming or the use of Rust in system programming in general. <p>Links</p> <ul><li>Guru Meditation: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Meditation" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Meditation</a></li> <li>Rust for Linux: <a href="https://rust-for-linux.com" target=_blank>https://rust-for-linux.com</a></li> <li>Mozilla's XML User Interface Language (XUL): <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUL" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUL</a></li> <li>Linus' endorsement for Rust: <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-rust-will-go-into-linux-6-1" target=_blank>https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-rust-will-go-into-linux-6-1</a></li> <li>Linus' view on C++ for kernel programming: <a href="https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/20/20" target=_blank>https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/20/20</a></li> <li>Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton</a></li> <li>Linux Plumbers Conference 2021: <a href="https://lpc.events/event/11/contributions/986" target=_blank>https://lpc.events/event/11/contributions/986</a></li> <li>Linux Plumbers Conference 2024: <a href="https://lpc.events/event/18/contributions/1912" target=_blank>https://lpc.events/event/18/contributions/1912</a></li> <li>Rust bindgen: <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen" target=_blank>https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen</a></li> <li>Kaput and Zösky (ultimate obliterators): <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419344/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_kaput%2520and%2520" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419344/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_kaput%2520and%2520</a></li> <li>Paris has fallen: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33184638/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_6_nm_2_in_0_q_paris%2520has%2520" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33184638/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_6_nm_2_in_0_q_paris%2520has%2520</a></li> </ul>

In this episode Martin and Chris host Sarah Gran and Josh Aas of the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). The ISRG is home to such little-known projects :-) such as Let's Encrypt and Prossimo, an approach to rewrite some of the most important pieces of the Internet infrastructure including the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and cURL in a memory-safe language (spoiler alert: details in the episode).

This episode is host to the Grumpy Old Coders (GoCs) once again. This dynamic duo consisting of David Meier and Thomas Glaser has made appearances in the past, but this instalment is the one to rule them. You want move this to the very top of your podcatcher's playlist for some serious discussion about the world in general (especially Redis :-), free software in particular and some very dark, ie. really black, humour. Plus bonus content. For example, who's the active one between the two of them.

This episode is host to a BSD veteran by the name of Kris Moore. So for the hipsters among you, this trip down memory lane (and more!) explains to where distros such as FreeBSD and friends all come from (to some extend :-). Plus more insights on TrueNAS, why Linux preempted BSD (not only here:-) and long forgotten projects such as GlusterFS, PC-BSD and MacOS. Did I hear you ask: "MacOS?!?!?". Fear not, all will be revealed - just listen to the episode (lame attempt at episode marketing :-). <p>Links</p> <ul><li>TrueNAS: <a href="https://github.com/truenas" target=_blank>https://github.com/truenas</a></li> <li>iXsystems: <a href="https://www.ixsystems.com" target=_blank>https://www.ixsystems.com</a></li> <li>Kirk's book (and of course other people): <a href="https://contents.meetbsd.ir/ebook/Design%20and%20Implementation.pdf" target=_blank>https://contents.meetbsd.ir/ebook/Design%20and%20Implementation.pdf</a></li> <li>BSD maintainer panel episode: <a href="https://archive.org/details/hpr3439" target=_blank>https://archive.org/details/hpr3439</a></li> <li>NetBSD: <a href="https://www.netbsd.org" target=_blank>https://www.netbsd.org</a></li> <li>OpenBSD: <a href="https://www.openbsd.org" target=_blank>https://www.openbsd.org</a></li> <li>FreeBSD: <a href="https://www.freebsd.org" target=_blank>https://www.freebsd.org</a></li> <li>DragonFly BSD: <a href="https://www.dragonflybsd.org" target=_blank>https://www.dragonflybsd.org</a></li> <li>Darwin: <a href="https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions" target=_blank>https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions</a></li> <li>IXsystems: <a href="https://www.ixsystems.com" target=_blank>https://www.ixsystems.com</a></li> <li>ZFS: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS</a></li> <li>GlusterFS: <a href="https://www.gluster.org" target=_blank>https://www.gluster.org</a></li> <li>Ceph: <a href="https://ceph.io/en" target=_blank>https://ceph.io/en</a></li> <li>CXL: <a href="https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/cxl/memory-devices.html" target=_blank>https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/cxl/memory-devices.html</a></li> <li>HCI: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-converged_infrastructure" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-converged_infrastructure</a></li> <li>Clarkson's Farm: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10541088/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10541088/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1</a></li> <li>Gravity Falls: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1865718" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1865718</a></li> </ul>

This year's Halloween episode has it all: Our two ageing heroes being together once again in a secret location and rambling about free, libre open source software, philosophy and other nonsense, The Darkside Tech Support Halloween sketch (the longest one ever in the history of Linux Inlaws), Moloch, God and her call center, Buddha, Vlad the Impaler and a cast of thousands of supporting characters (/usr/bin/bc just ran out of battery power, so this number may be wrong). Even if you're not religious - you don't want to miss this episode! <p>Links</p> <ul><li>Moloch: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moloch" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moloch</a></li> </ul>

In this episode Martin and Chris take a closer look at the Gnu Privacy Guard and the surrounding software ecosystem known as OpenPGP, a public key infrastructure (PKI) powering software ranging from mail clients to popular office suites such as LibreOffice. So if you want to know more about this software which you're using on a daily basis probably without even knowing it, you don't want to miss this episode! Plus a Neanderthal talking about crypto software. <p>Links</p> <ul><li>Pretty Good Privacy (PGP): <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy</a></li> <li>OpenPGP: <a href="https://openpgp.dev/book" target=_blank>https://openpgp.dev/book</a></li> <li>Werner's company: <a href="https://g10code.com/index.html" target=_blank>https://g10code.com/index.html</a></li> <li>OpenPGP's fork: <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/953978" target=_blank>https://lwn.net/Articles/953978</a></li> <li>LibrePGP: <a href="https://librepgp.org" target=_blank>https://librepgp.org</a></li> <li>Schumpeter and moolah (made-up pox reference :-): <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/40970658" target=_blank>https://www.jstor.org/stable/40970658</a></li> <li>Homeland (0.5 pox): <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1796960/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_homeland" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1796960/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_homeland</a></li> <li>Working backwards: <a href="https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/colin-bryar/working-backwards/9781529033847" target=_blank>https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/colin-bryar/working-backwards/9781529033847</a></li> </ul>
