  • Change for the worse

    Jonathan had become barely tolerable. I remember the days when he took time to learn CIDR notation and explain it. The new hosts go out of their way to squeeze in their sexual identity. 80% of the new content is about some vague concept disguised as "tech stuff". Calling this podcast "Tech Stuff" is like calling Star Wars SciFi instead of a Space Opera.
