Linux Inlaws

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.

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.

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.

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 answer: Listen to the episode!

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. So if you ever wanted to know about a totally legit alternative to any dubious currency monkey businesses, this is the episode you don't want to miss.

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.

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 :-).

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. :-) Links Darknet Diaries: https://darknetdiaries.com Malicious Life (R.I.P.): https://malicious.life Jack's blog: https://blog.lime.link Howard Stern show: https://www.howardstern.com Waymo (Alphabet, you owe us!): https://waymo.com Nemesis: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18378942 The Art of Human Hacking: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Social-Engineering-Art-Human-Hacking/dp/0470639539

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!

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. Very few dry eyes in the house guaranteed with this episode, so you don't want to miss this.

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.

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.

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. Otherwise listen to it anyway for some good old craíc (to use an Irish idiom).

In this episode our two aging heroes are hosts to Tobias Wegener, a project manager in the area of Internet of Things (IoT). What started as a discussion on Python on mobile devices quickly turned into an interesting conversation about FLOSS in IoT environments, machine learning and the challenges that these environments present.

This episode - brought in by Martin's special request - sees our two ageing heroes discuss the various aspects of FLOSS in agricultural environments (Martin almost being a farmer himself). 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! On her rise to fame from a little peasant girl to one of the world's most famous vampires, vegan blood and its wholesale angle and of course - wait for it - world domination!

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. So fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the show!

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.

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!).
