LI_S01E89_FLOSS_and_relationships_(marriage_counselling_special)
In this episode, Martin and Chris discuss the relationship between relationships and FLOSS. Given the apparent similarities between these two areas regarding problem solving, escalations, etc. many tried and tested approaches are examined and evaluated in a relationship context. So if you are just after going through a break-up and wondered what the heck went wrong, plan to engage in a romantic liaison or are in the thick of it, this show is definitively for you...
LI_S01E88_The_Rust_Foundation
In this episode Martin and Chris host Rebecca Rumbul, CEO of the Rust Foundation. Rust, as probably many of our three listeners (who haven't been living under rocks, boulders and similar scree for the last couple of years) know has been quite the hot thing for some time now in the industry with major players such as Mozilla Foundation, Microsoft, Meta and Google to name but a few pouring significant investments in this technology (it also made into the Linux kernel but more on that in the show)...
LI_S01E87_Open_Source_Hardware
In this episode Martin and Chris take a trip down memory lane and explore the origins of reduced instruction set computers, the little buggers that - for example - power most of today's smartphone on the planet. But this is merely an intro to todays's topic, the RISC-V processor architecture purely built on FLOSS principals. So if you're interested in open source hardware and how to participate in this exciting new approach to community-designed and -built hardware, don't miss this episode...
LI_S01E86_An_episode_with_the_Cloud_Native_Computing_Foundation
In this episode, Martin and Chris are excited to host Taylor Dolezal from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The CNCF is home to some tiny, lesser known (:-) projects such as Kubernetes, Prometheus and Containerd to name but a few. So if you're keen to know more about these important projects never mind the CNCF you don't want to miss this episode.

LI_S01E85_FLOSS_and_Offensive_Security
Getting more and concerned about the security of your kit (read: infrastructure)? Fret not, as usual the Inlaws got you covered. In this episode, Martin and Chris discuss FLOSS tools for offensive security, i.e. software that you can use to assess the level of vulnerability of your system before the bad guys do the very same. And you make headline news - but not in a good way...

Plus: More from the Dark Side. Dark Side Tech Support that is.
