When you want to use Caddy from a distribution's repo, it can't really be Ubuntu because it's old and crusty, but simplicity is the name of the game. Containerization is an option, but it brings its own set of security implications that might be too much for a lazy Leo. We talk through a few options, but want to hear from you! Fedora? Arch? Alpine? Containers? Bootc? Repos? Compiling? What do you recommend?

Three months of pent up rage, aggression, worry and ethical concerns in and around AI and LLMs. This is a bit of a ride, and it has our usual meandering vibe to it, but it brings up so many good questions that there aren't any good answers to. Underneath it all, yes, we know that there are environmental issues as well as ethical ones, but neither of those are stopping many from using the technology. So where do we go from here?

Internet Explorer! Thought it was dead? Think again. It's still a zombie, but even that will come to and end in a couple of years. We use this as a springboard to talk about Orion and Servo, and take a few shots at Google because they deserve it 😉

Use Firefox, folks!

PS. Orion for Linux was very much alive when we recorded this... it is now dead on Linux. RIP Orion, too. We'll cover this soon.

The second half of our interview with Nate Graham that covers the policies and costs of AI in KDE. According to Nate, and we tend to agree, setting up policies that are unenforceable will simply encourage those that want to circumvent the policy to do so, and just not tell anybody. How hard is it to remove a CLAUDE md file anyway?

But of course, there's only so much you can lament AI and LLM's incursion into everything Linux, so we end up getting back on how KDE Linux works with the update deltas, the fact that we've been daily driving it for months (at least Dan has!), easy rollbacks, full disk encryption's future, and the road to getting it on real hardware off the shelf.

We've asked Nate to come back again sometime to give us more updates on KDE and KDE Linux, so keep an eye out for that!

We start with a little intro about Nate and Techpaladin but quickly get into the weeds of everything KDE Linux including the friction of KWallet, how it's a known issue and will be replaced outright! A little Valve conversation as they're inextricably linked to KDE and Plasma these days! Shipping KDE on hardware, KDE Linux being the "reference implementation" and its place in the "distroverse." Hint: It's a whole Operating System.

Other bits include KDE Linux being distroless rather than based on Arch as it is today, flatpak's shortcomings, snap's not quite there, updates, QA improvements, and hardware support.

We like Mozilla, we really do, but use this VPN sparingly and with the knowledge that it'll be quite trivial for sites to figure out what your real IP address is. Unless you're into that kind of thing. Using a WebRTC call, sites can easily bypass the VPN's protection to see your real IP address unless you manually turn it off in about:config. The option is "media.peerconnection.enabled"

It seems Vivaldi's built-in VPN does indeed protect against this leakage, so it's not like it can't be done.

In the US, the FCC has banned foreign consumer grade routers... which is basically all of them. And what does "consumer-grade" even mean? Instead, what do a couple of Linux nerds suggest to try? LINUX OF COURSE! Or even BSD if you're fancy.

Today we dive into how good the old web used to be and how Neocities is bringing that back in all the right ways. Now, if only Microsoft could get out of their way and stop delisting them from Bing for arbitrary policies that they won't even define, that would be greeeeat. Maybe it's time to try out Kagi since Orion is already on the docket.

There's a new browser in town and it's not based on Firefox or Chromium, but WebKit! Kagi, the paid search engine is now diving into the wide world of browsers and making it cross-platform, including iOS and Android. Their super power is being able to run all the current Firefox and Chromium extensions across everything, and would be the first on iOS to do so.

Will this be the thing that causes the Firefox stranglehold to lift on the Linux side? Will it make inroads on Windows and MacOS, too? We sure hope so. And maybe Gnome Web can steal a thing or two 😃

Based on Rust, of course, Xfce has stopped its previous attempt at porting Xfwm to Wayland, and instead, created Xfwl. Going forward, it'll be interesting to see what kind of progress the team makes with a clean slate. But it makes us wonder... who's gonna use it? Every Xfce user we encounter much prefers living on X 🤔

And of course, we can't talk about desktops without slipping in a little Cosmic 😊
