March 29, 2023Episode 99: Off the Rails
Episode edited by Jake Bauer — thanks!
Discussion
Ireland showed England how to play rugby, raising cheerfulness. We discuss a command line that's not your grandma's bash, more like a next generation UI that can be genuinely helpful even to non-techies. Shane, for one, welcomes his doomscrolling robot overlord on Mastodon. Mike's been playing with Go. Write to us for EP 100! Do it.

Episode edited by Jake Bauer — thanks!
Discussion
We talked to Gabe Kangas, the creator of Owncast, a free and open source live video and web chat server for use with existing popular broadcasting software. Born out of the sudden silence of the pandemic, it empowers people to stream their events all over the world.

Owncast is written in Go, single binaries for everyone!
Connects to OBS, future plans include recording functionality
From concerts to funerals
VPS providers like Hetzner often provide Owncast as a one click install
