Show Notes

In this Halloween special Martin and Chris discuss the scariest moments and people in FLOSS history. No project, person or concept is safe from these in-depth revelations so don't miss this episode. Plus - as it's custom at this time of year - the Dark Side Tech Support makes another appearance when a lower deity rings with a technical problem. You REALLY don't want to miss this if you're religious, like black humour or are otherwise socially challenged. And some PostgreSQL bonus marketing content :-). <p>Links</p> <ul><li>Heartbleed: <a href="https://heartbleed.com" target=_blank>https://heartbleed.com</a></li> <li>xkcd on Heartbleed: <a href="https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2347:_Dependency" target=_blank>https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2347:_Dependency</a></li> <li>Shellshock: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellshock_(software_bug)" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellshock_(software_bug)</a></li> <li>Opinions around ffmpeg/libav fork: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/vvdxn/the_ffmpeglibav_situation/" target=_blank>https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/vvdxn/the_ffmpeglibav_situation/</a></li> <li>OpenWRT/LEDE: <a href="https://linuxgizmos.com/lede-openwrt-fork-promises-greater-openness/" target=_blank>https://linuxgizmos.com/lede-openwrt-fork-promises-greater-openness/</a></li> <li>Linus' Usenet post: <a href="https://opendotdotdot.blogspot.com/2006/03/linus-torvalds-first-usenet-posting.html" target=_blank>https://opendotdotdot.blogspot.com/2006/03/linus-torvalds-first-usenet-posting.html</a></li> <li>Linus vs. Andrew: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanenbaum%E2%80%93Torvalds_debate" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanenbaum%E2%80%93Torvalds_debate</a></li> <li>GNU Hurd: <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/" target=_blank>https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/</a></li> <li>Linus' NVidia remark: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeU1WUb1q10" target=_blank>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeU1WUb1q10</a></li> <li>RMS resigning: <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/richard-m-stallman-resigns-from-free-software-foundation" target=_blank>https://www.zdnet.com/article/richard-m-stallman-resigns-from-free-software-foundation</a></li> <li>RMS reinstation: <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-free-software-foundation-reveals-how-rms-was-re-elected-and-its-future" target=_blank>https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-free-software-foundation-reveals-how-rms-was-re-elected-and-its-future</a></li> <li>Nobody: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7888964/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_nobody" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7888964/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_nobody</a></li> <li>PostgresML: <a href="https://github.com/postgresml/postgresml" target=_blank>https://github.com/postgresml/postgresml</a></li> </ul>
