Linux Inlaws

In this episode our two hosts discuss on one of the most popular image manipulation called GIMP. Almost a quarter of a century since its inception, it has been the foundation for much more than than image processing; gtk is probably the most widely-known example for the surrounding technology stack beyond GIMP itself. Martin and Chris host Kevin O'Brien, a long-time user of the project over the years and authority on the software and its technology (he runs a regular show on GIMP on Hacker Public Radio among other things). So if you ever wanted to know more about GIMP's rise to fame, its current state and where this may be headed, this is an episode not to be missed.

In this Year-End episode, our two heroes take a look back at 2022 not just from a FLOSS perspective and hazard guesses about next year's shenanigans (listeners only interested in these predictions: please fast-forward to the four hour forty-five minutes and twenty seconds mark in your podcast player). Anybody else please keep listening... :-) Plus: The truth about Truth Social, Twitter and Elon Musk.

In this episode, Martin's utmost phantasy has become reality. He finally managed to talk Chris into discussing the wonderful and weird kingdom of streaming and messaging technology. So if you ever wondered how global portals like LinkedIn, Netflix and other new-fangled shenanigans work, you may find this episode vaguely interesting and remotely funny. A word of caution though: please do not listen to this episode if operating heavy machinery or while driving as the Inlaws cannot be held responsible for any resulting damages caused by instantly falling asleep... You have been warned. Plus: a discussion of the Russian annexation of certain Ukrainian territories from a yesteryear's perspective in addition to royal developments in the kingdom after Lizzy's untimely demise (for all you history buffs out there).

In this episode our two heroes host Ran Levi, a

black magician in the area of IT security and himself host of

the famous Malicious Life podcast. So for some fresh perspective

on cybersecurity not just from FLOSS perspective, don't

miss this episode.

In this episode, our two heroes dive into

the dark and mysterious world of compilers and other shenanigans

that take care of translating plain English text readable and

understandable by world and dog into something that a computer

can execute (a CPU most of the times, to be more precise). If

you ever wondered what abstract syntax trees are, how parsers

work and what can be done to make your programs run faster or

cannot get to sleep in general, this episode is for you!

In this episode, Martin and Chris lament the demise of CentOS, the community enterprise

operating system, the free (as in: beer) alternative of Redhat

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:

Gregory Kurtzer explains the ins and outs of Rocky Linux and Igor

Seletskiy talks about Alma Linux. Also a bonus for our train, um,

weather-spotting friends: Chris explains why Germany can be hotter

than Nevada in the summer time. :-) And of course our first

competition: please send in your bid (see details at the end of the

show) by the end of 2022 to enter the draw in 2032 for some awesome

Linux Inlaws swag! The email address is as usual feedback (at)

In this episode, Martin and Chris discuss yet

another get-rich-quick scheme, as in: How do to podcasts. Or

not. More specifically: How we do our podcast. Stay with us

while we are still working on the monetary aspect of these

shenanigans, getting rich that is :-). Plus: details about

Martin's abode.

In this episode, the Inlaws take a closer look at crypto currencies, how they work and why they may be important on a grander scale. So if you have ever wondered how to get rich quick, this is an episode not to be missed. Or not. All will be revealed, including how to sell your granny (or any other relatives on the Darknet or other places), how to launder money properly (hint: a decent washing machine and some premium detergent may come in handy) never mind how to go about the business of trading contraband the right way.

In this short episode Martin and Chris discuss the

merits of source in a weather context (clouds to be precise) in

front of Chris' local bakery at an undisclosed location in

down-down Frankfurt (in contrast to the real down-town). So if

you ever wondered how FLOSS fits into other people's

computers, this episode is for you. Plus the inside track on

Dutch breakfast specialities.

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, ontologies and why they still matter not only in a mobile-first world and why a website called DB Engines simply doesn't do the trick (putting it very diplomatically). Never mind the road ahead... (including quantum AI and some other fancy stuff - you heard it here first!). And also next week's lotto numbers (perhaps).
