Linux Inlaws
Linux Inlaws is a podcast about free and open source software, the people and communities behind it, and the broader ideas it enables. The hosts discuss open source news, tools and projects while also venturing into radical concepts, digital rights and the politics of software freedom. The tone is conversational and opinionated, aimed at listeners who already know their way around Linux and FOSS culture. Episodes mix technical topics with commentary on where the open source movement is heading.

Postgres
Listen to our two OAP interviewing Bruce
Momjian, Postgres evangelist and long-time supporter of this popular SQL
database. Expect lots of strong language around SQL and NoSQL topics and
some ranting about MINT's attitude towards snaps, a fun breach of a health
service provider in the UK and why broadcasters should stick to
monopolies.

More shenanigans from our two heroes. In this short episode our two heroes rant about Linus and other old people, Transmeta and other history, discuss Martin's EdgeOS woes and discover that MIPS is indeed a CPU architecture supported by standard Debian. The show concludes with a short review of Claudio's review and poxes about the Arch wiki and Californica

HPR3689: Linux Inlaws S01E65: TerminusDB
As part of the effort of turning the planet's premier Rust marketing podcast into a full-blown NoSQL show, in this episode Chris hosts some of the key people behind a NoSQL database called TerminusDB (Martin couldn't make it as he was firing, um, re-organising the Inlaw's marketing department once again). Luke (the CEO) and Gavin (CTO) of TerminusDB spill the beans on the history of the project, o
HPR3679: Linux Inlaws S01E64: Non-profits in the US: A closer look at 501(c)s
In this episode, Martin and Chris shed more light on the riveting subject of non-profit
and not-for-profit organisations especially in the US with a special focus on the all-
important topic of tax implications. Warning: Due to the fast-paced and gripping never
mind explicit natur of this topic, people with sleeping disabilities or who are easily startled

HPR3668: Linux Inlaws S01E63: John Hawley on kernel dot org and other shenanigans
In this episode Martin and Chris host John Hawley of kernel.org fame. The discussion centers around Python, the royal British family and other FLOSS topics such as some break-away colonies like the US, version control systems, wireless wikis and containers. Never mind Python. Did I mention Python? :-) And perhaps VMware. Ever wondered why early versions of git just gobbled up your main memory
HPR3658: Linux Inlaws S01E62: HPR's inner workings
In this episode our two ageing heroes explore the inner workings of a podcast (or podcast hosting platform depending on your perspective) called Hacker Public Radio. Yes, the platform that the Inlaws have been using since the very inception of this rapidly growing FLOSS podcast content. Wondering what the heck this episode is all about, why exactly Martin and Chris are talking about this now
HPR3649: Linux Inlaws S01E61: 20 years in review
A counter point to this show is available: hpr3648 :: A response to tomorrows show
In this episode, Martin and Chris take a closer look at twenty years of Linux Inlaws
history. Why, you may ask, given the fact that this podcast has only been in existence
for roughly over two years, are we reviewing this history? The answer - of course - is
straight forward: by sheer

In this episode, the Linux Inlaws interview a potential new recruit :-) call Kris Jenkins, from Kafka, an Apache project implementing a scalable distributed event streaming platform (don't know what that is? Listen to the show! :-) . A cautious warning: This episode contains strong philosophical / political views, language and insights which may change your views on messaging systems in general a

In this episode, Martin and Chris interview Eric Rescorla, the CTO of Firefox at Mozilla. After
discussing the weather situation in the Kingdom formerly known as the UK, our two aging heros
go right into browsers, programming languages, the Mozilla ecosystem and internet history and future
alike. This episode again is not for the faint-hearted as none of the gory details are
HPR3619: Linux Inlaws S01E58: Kubernetes and Friends and Sarah
In this continuation of S01E57 our two chaps discuss how you can take containers from
single instances to production-ready, scalable deployments handling large app stacks
and that new-fangled hipster concept called micro-services. Using the once Google-owned project called Borg which later evolved into something now known as Kubernetes (k8s) as an example,
Martin and Chris discuss
HPR3609: Linux Inlaws S01E57: Operating System Level Virtualisation and Martin's Faith
In this episode our two ageing heroes take a closer at operating system
(OS) level virtualisation. The main different legacy virtualisation
technologies like virtual machines (VMs) and this new-fangled approach is
that the OS kernel remains the same across virtualisation domains, thus giving
the hippsters and other followers of fashion a cheaper and potentially much
faster
HPR3599: Linux Inlaws S01E56: Slackware - A User's Perspective
In this episode Martin and Chris managed to ensnare a member of the Linux User Group
Frankfurt (FraLUG) to talk about his history with Slackware, currently the
oldest Linux distribution still maintained. If you ever fancied to know more
about this grandfather of a distribution and its ins and outs, this is your
show. Plus we get to know more about one of Chris' well-kept secre
HPR3588: Linux Inlaws S01E55: Get yer boots on for a fresh look at init systems
In this episode, Martin and Chris discuss init systems and Chris outs
himself as a systemd fan boy (Devuan followers take note :-). Even Linux and
other FLOSS OS geeks not interested in what happens when you flick the power
switch on a computer may find this episode (vaguely) interesting as some light
is also shed on the philosophy of the different system architectures and the
HPR3578: Linux Inlaws S01E54: Electronic Freedom Never Mind the Civil Rest
In this episode our two hosts talk to an eclectic panel consisting of
members of the Georgian affiliation of the Electronic Frontier Foundation
(EFF) called Electronic Frontiers Georgia. Among other topics, civil rights
(especially in the digital age), sharing of ideas never mind other
intellectual capital and why this still matters in socialist America are the
focus of di
HPR3569: Linux Inlaws S01E53: Rust Marketing
In this episode our two heroes explore the depths a new (?) hipster
programming language called Rust. Being an obvious piece of blatant technology
marketing, the Linux Inlaws are still waiting for the funds to arrive from the
Rust Foundation :-) (@Foundation: If you want to get in touch please send
a mail to sponsor at linuxinlaws eu). Jokes aside, the episode give a short
HPR3559: Linux Inlaws S01E52: The Zig Project
In this episode Martin and Chris have a very special guest: Loris Cro of
Zig fame. Zig fame? Stay tuned. Not only is Loris an ex-colleague of our two
aging heroes, he is also the community vice president at the Zig Software
Foundation. So this episode will be all about this new programming language,
why you should use it (and perhaps why you shouldn't) and life, the universe
HPR3549: Linux Inlaws S01E51: git and static site generators
Another fortnight, another episode of our beloved podcast called Linux
Inlaws :-). What starts as an episode on the history of Central Europe and the
role of the Netherlands and Germany in the greater scheme of things rapidly
moves sideways into a discussion of git-powered static HTML website generators
in contrast to context management systems (CMSs) and their advantages,
HPR3539: Linux Inlaws S01E50: The OpenSUSE Project
In this episode of the Inlaws our two ageing heroes host Doug DeMaio and Axel Braun, both intimately
associated with and actively supporting the OpenSUSE project, the foundation of one of the popular Linux distros
apart from RedHat and Debian for companies of all sizes (yes, and Ubuntu before I get any hate mails
from Mark Shuttleworth or Cannonical in general :-). Apologies for n
HPR3529: Linux Inlaws S01E48: Year Two of the Five Year Plan
Right into the third year of the first five-year plan our two ageing heroes
discuss the past year in review (blatantly stealing this concept from other
popular podcasts), focussing on the hotter episodes of second year and
progress with increasing the number of active listeners from two to five and
beyond. Also, major fuck-ups and lessons learned from them are revealed

HPR3518: Linux Inlaws S01E47: BigBlueButton and NAT
In this episode of your favourite FLOSS podcast our two OAPs discuss the challenges of running
conferencing systems like BigBlueButton behind a network address translation
(NAT) configuration, something that the Inlaws have been struggeling (?) with
for quite some time but now have arrived a solution which might just work :-).
If you face similar challenges or just want to ref
HPR3509: Linux Inlaws S01E46: The Matrix Project (Without Neo)
In this episode, the Inlaws are hosting Neil Johnson, VP of Engineering at Element. But this is
not just about this popular Matrix graphical user interface but rather about this federated communication
network dubbed as the next big thing after Mastodon and Discord, soon to take over the world (pretty
much like the Inlaws themselves - it's gonna get crowded... :-).

HPR3498: Linux Inlaws S01E45: The Big Xmas New Year bash with the Grumpies
In this end of year episode / Xmas bumper our two aging heroes host the Grumpy Old Coders
once again. Apart from having lots of fun, our four eclectic panelists discuss the year in
review and some obscure predictions the Inlaws made at the end of last year in S01E20 to
see if these became true or not. Plus a seriously long commercial break on mainframes
done by our own Chris (
HPR3492: Linux Inlaws S01E44: Pipewire Just another audio server Think again
In this episode - sadly missing Martin as he buggered off to do something
else - the remaining Inlaw hosts Wim Taymans, inventor and brain behind
Pipewire, a new approach to Linux audio. Don't miss out on this episode if
you're fed up with Pulseaudio (hello Martin :-) or find Jack just too
complicated for every-day usage - you may see audio on Linux from a different
perspe
HPR3479: Linux Inlaws S01E49: Version Control Systems and why bother
In this episode our two heroes contemplate the ins and outs of version
control systems (VCS) and how to maintain sanity using them. Particular focus
is on the newer generation of such as git which enabled large-scale community
projects such as the Linux kernel, programming languages like Rust and Python
and other shenanigans. Including a crash course on version control systems
HPR3469: Linux Inlaws S01E43: The Great Battle or not
In this episode Martin and one of the Grumpies (as in Grumpy Old Coders)
battle it out: SQL or NoSQL - which technology is better? If you ever wondered
why the Structured Query Language was invented in the first place and why the
hipster abandoned ship for the latest (?) rage of the likes of the NoSQL
variety, this is for you. Plus: A whole family of never-heard-of sound effec
HPR3459: Linux Inlaws S01E42: The Open Source Initiative
In this episode our two OAPs host Deb Nicholson, the general manager of the
Open Source Initiative (OSI). Apart from riveting insights into open source
licensing we discuss the greater FLOSS ecosystem and Deb's views on why
wearing shoes is important in certain contexts, open source standards, law
suits and the differences between US and Europe among other things.

HPR3449: Linux Inlaws S01E41: The Halloween Documents
In this infomercial on Microsoft, our hosts discuss the infamous Halloween
documents ('tis the season after all), a set of ancient scrolls dating back
more than twenty years and giving an overview of the behemoth's then strategy
on open source and how to possibly combat it. But fear not, ye of little faith
:-), all is well now as the episode shows also the long way Microsoft h
HPR3439: Linux Inlaws S01E40: The One with the BSDs
In this episode, Martin and Chris host an eclectic panel of contributors to
the *other* major FLOSS operating system family - you guessed it: the
flavours of the Berkeley Software Distribution (aka BSD among friends).
Disclaimer: you may be tempted to diverge from the Path of the
Righteousness also known as Linux and give this alternative a spin. So

HPR3429: Linux Inlaws S01E39: Ubuntu and the Community
In this episode, our two hosts host Rhys Davies, a developer advocate from Canonical. So all
beans will be spilled on one of the most popular Linux distros out there. Like its past, present
and future. Never mind how Canonical makes its moolah and where this goes... Plus an interesting
infomercial on old big iron (IBM, if you're listening: the mail address is sponsor@linuxinl
HPR3419: Linux Inlaws S01E38: Tiny kernels
This episode is dedicated to tiny kernels driving operating systems also
known as micro-kernels. While discussing the last 100 years of operating
system design and implementation, our two aging heroes also shed some
light on operating systems in general and their recent history (like fifty
years). Unless you're a true OS nerd, you find the episode mildly
refreshing and e
HPR3409: Linux Inlaws S01E37: All about Hacker Public Radio
In this episode of our beloved open source podcast rapidly approaching its
zenith of popularity (with hopefully not an equally rapid decline afterwards)
our two elderly heroes pay tribute to Hacker Public Radio in general and
Ken Fallon in particular. Plus: a never-heard-of-before peek into Martin's
very own private life (we lift the veil and reveal it all - don't miss th
HPR3399: Linux Inlaws S01E36: Open Source Licenses
In this episode Chris is trying hard to get Martin to sleep by elaborating on the
subject of free and open source software licenses but fails miserably. Listen to a
more than riveting episode on the ins and outs of licensing FLOSS code bases in addition
to banter about Brexit, plans for a reshaping of Europe after the invasion of England
and Wales, Northern Ireland and Sc
HPR3388: Linux Inlaws S01E35: The Free Software Foundation Europe
In this episode our aging heroes host the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). Its president, Matthias
Kirschner talk about the past, the present and the future of free and open source software not only
from an FSFE perspective. Never mind how he got into computers in the first place. Also, different opinions
about communism in general and its implementations (and the flaws of
HPR3379: Linux Inlaws S01E34: The one with the intelligence
In this fourth part of our three-part miniseries on Deep and Machine Learning our two heroes shed some
light on a DL architecture called Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT), a pretty sophistic piece
of software that fools most humans when it comes to authoring text (ideal for budding writers with
a block in place). Other topics of discussion includes OpenAI (the company
HPR3369: Linux Inlaws S01E33: The Return of the Rust
In this episode - aptly named "The return of the Rust" our two heroes host
a very special guest: no other than Steve Klabnik of Rust fame himself.
Needless to say, this hipster programming language which is on everbody's mind
at the moment (apart maybe from a few lost souls still crying over spilled
coffee) plays a very important role in this show in addition to the newly

In part three of the 27.64 episodes long mini-series on artificial intelligences, machine and deep learning
and other hipster topics around machines trying to imitate humans (marketing made us do these :-), our
two heroes discuss domain-specific frameworks on top of (more generic) infrastructure like TensorFlow or PyTorch.
As usual, all will be revealed and no details be spared (a
HPR3349: Linux Inlaws S01E31: Interview with Paul Ramsey FOSS aficionado and entrepreneur
In this episode the inlaws host Paul Ramsey of OpenGeo fame. Apart from his PostgreSQL contributions,
Paul is probably best known for GIS work and geo DB contributions in general (in addition to
off-the-beaten track stuff like URL of his website among other things). Don't miss this for nuggets
on geo databases and beyond!

After successfully navigating through the shallow (or not-so-shallow) depths of the first episode on deep learning fundamentals, our two heroes tackle a more concrete topic in this episode: How to use the damn stuff! No expenses will be spared to bring to the listeners the finer details of tensors, TensorFlow and other frameworks which serve as the basis for modern artificial intelligence / m
HPR3329: Linux Inlaws S01E29: The (one and only) Linux Kernel Contributor Panel
In this episode, our two ageing heroes host an eclectic panel of kernel
contributors of a small, mostly unknown operating system called "Linux".
The panelists hail from all over the planet (sadly, no money or love would
buy Richard's or Linus' way onto that panel :-) but the discussion proves
more than interesting regardless of these uber-nerds being absent. All

In this episode, our two heroes explore the realm of artificial intelligence, paying special attention to deep learning (hoping that some
of the stuff may rub on them :-). In this first part of a three-part mini-series the chaps discuss the foundation including networks, neurons
and other topics of advanced black magic, carefully avoiding the temptations of introducing too much maths
HPR3309: Linux Inlaws S01E27: The Big Uncertainties in Life and beyond

system. If you ever wanted to know more about Linux Security Modules, AppArmor

discuss stealing, um, borrowing (and never giving back) of mottos and mascotts, programming languages including
Java, Python and Rust woes and how they all arrived at podcasting. Never mind Chris revealing his true and
only heritage and other little-known secrets.

Enterprise Linux (RHEL). But in the true spirit of FLOSS, two
successors already are filling in this void: Rocky Linux and Alma
Linux. The two initiators / main maintainers are part of this podcast:

LI_S01E75_The_Onion_Router_Network
As privacy is becoming more and more of a concern even outside of the shady regions of international arms trading, contraband smuggling and selling relatives on the Internet, even your ordinary man/woman/diverse is turning to virtual private networks and other means for obfuscating personal communications.

LI_S01E80_Bottlerocket
In this episode Martin and Chris and hosting Kyle Davis, a senior developer advocate for the bookshop's Bottlerocket, a Linux-based operating system for hosting that latest fad of the hipster community known as containers :-).
