  • They ditched Micheal

    Jill and Ryan separated from tux digital?! Michael started it, he got injured, is still doing Twill, and the new site does not list him as a host?! Disappointed. Very uncool.

    The hosts being so excited about AI makes me want to unsubscribe. I usually like this show, but I’m one of those with the pitchfork at the gate.

  • Came for Linux, stayed for the grat vibes.

    Started in 2024 with some reservations, but the show really grew on me. Maybe there isn’t an extreme amount of technical content but these are beautiful people!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

459: FCC Bans Foreign Routers! Healthcare Data Leaks & DIY Router Solutions
Q: What are some practical open-source router alternatives discussed?
Using mini PCs with OpenWRT or similar Linux-based firmware to build a secure, customizable router with SSH access for visibility and control; this avoids vendor lockdowns and extra subscription costs.
459: FCC Bans Foreign Routers! Healthcare Data Leaks & DIY Router Solutions
Q: Why is there a push to avoid exposing Social Security numbers in everyday healthcare interactions?
Because SSNs are extremely sensitive identifiers that, if stolen, can be misused across accounts; the panel argues for minimizing where and how such data is requested and stored.
459: FCC Bans Foreign Routers! Healthcare Data Leaks & DIY Router Solutions
Q: Is the new government policy on routers going to dramatically change how consumers set up home networks?
Yes, it will push people toward either buying 'passes' for certain devices that may be allowed back in or moving to open-source router setups like OpenWRT on DIY hardware to retain control.
453: Leveling Up: Lutris Creator Mathieu Comandon & Finding Zen in the Browser Wars
Q: Can you explain, Mathieu, in simple terms, what Umu is and why it's good for stability?
Umu allows to run Proton in the same way as Steam, which means more stability for games.
449: The Future of Open Computing: Inside RISC-V with DeepComputing CEO
Q: What do you see as the future challenges for RISC-V development?
The main challenges involve overcoming the current supply chain issues exacerbated by AI manufacturing demands and ensuring robust software support and applications.
