It’s the £20 Linux machine challenge! This time the rules are stricter: no adding storage and RAM. It turns out that if you try really hard, you can buy a really nice Linux computer on a seriously low budget.

Podcasts about Linux, open source, systems administration, development, and cloud.
The AI crawler bot arms race has developed more quickly than we hoped, Google pretends to care what the community thinks, full Linux desktop apps are probably coming to Android, Thunderbird shares more details of their paid services and we are interested, and PuTTY has a great new domain name.
We explore the differences between terms like coder, software developer, engineer, and architect. They are often used interchangeably, but there can be real differences between them. Or at least once upon a time there were differences.
What exactly is platform engineering, and how does it differ from DevOps?
Xfce running on Wayland on openSUSE, Canonical laid off the printing guy, Mozilla pisses people off with AI tab groups, and what the post-x86 world will look like for desktop Linux. Plus a handy way to save and run project-specific commands, turning any device into a file server, and a convoluted way to get wind data from planes. With guest hosts Gary from Linux After Dark and Hybrid Cloud Show, and Kevin from Linux Dev Time.
We'll be recording an episode of Ask The Hosts soon so reply here with your questions! They can be about anything you want, except Linux and open source.
It’s our annual episode where we need to talk about Ubuntu. This time most of us are broadly indifferent about the distro itself, so we end up mostly discussing our concerns about Canonical.
A new Debian version is out and it’s the end of the 32-bit x86 era, an AWS user almost found out the hard way about the need for proper backups, GitHub is finally fully swallowed into Microsoft (having gone all in on AI), and a quick KDE Korner. With guest hosts @garythewilliams from Linux After Dark and Hybrid Cloud Show, and @kbknapp from Linux Dev Time.
Not invented here syndrome is very common in open source. We get into why that is, when it makes sense to start your own project from scratch, and how contributing to existing software can sometimes be better for everyone.
Shane gives us an update on his janky Kubernetes homelab. The storage is under control with ZFS, he’s got a decent switch, and everything is in Git – so maybe it isn’t that janky anymore.
