On this very special episode of the Uncast Show, we are joined by the Founder and CEO of Lime Technology, Tom Mortensen, and Co-CEO Tiffany Jones to talk about the origins of Unraid OS, the evolution of the product over the past 18+ years, and some upcoming changes to the company to better align the product and user's desires in Unraid 7 and beyond.

Tom and Tiffany share their personal career journeys and take us down memory lane as Unraid incorporated VMs and Docker containerization, GPU passthrough (a decision that dramatically shifted the course of the company with Linus Tech Tips), made key hires to expand the team, and talk about some key projects and initiatives that got the company where it is today.

The conversation shifts gears to the future and goes into the upcoming changes to Unraid's pricing model for new licenses and why this change is crucial and necessary for sustaining the company and improving the product for all in the years to come.
For full details on the upcoming pricing change, please refer to our blog. 

Wrapping up the episode, we'll get a first look at Unraid 7 and explore some exciting future OS features and projects such as making the unRAID array optional, integrating and maintaining plugins into the OS, VM Snapshots and cloning, the "Hardware Database," the "My Friends Network," a new Unraid website, a public, open-source Unraid API and much, much more.

Step into the Nextcloud HQ in Berlin as we are joined by Jos Poortvliet, Co-founder and Director of Communications for Nextcloud, for a wide-ranging and revealing look into the open-source, decentralized ethos of Nextcloud.
This in-person interview follows Jos's early days in tech and work at OwnCloud and sets the stage for a dive into Nextcloud's commitment to open-source, data sovereignty, and their broader mission to return data control to users as the company scales past 100 team members and thousands of customers.
Throughout the interview, we covered the business model of Nextcloud, learned about some lesser-known features and use cases of the Nextcoud platform (Hub 7), and learned how they integrate AI into the product while still maintaining their core values around open-source, data security, and privacy.

Imagine transforming your understanding of Network Attached Storage (NAS) from a complex, jargon-filled mystery to an easy-to-grasp concept. Our special guest, Robbie Andrews from the YouTube channel NASCompares, is here to help us navigate this complex landscape. Robbie's knack for breaking down complex topics in an engaging, whimsical way permeates through this long-form conversation.

From the intricacies of storage types and hard drives, we navigate towards the optimal configurations for a NAS,  the integration of NVMEs in NAS systems, and then the conversation takes an intriguing turn towards the shadowy, dark world of ransomware attacks and the notorious Deadbolt ransomware attacks on QNAP.

Wrapping up this enlightening chat, we pit Synology and QNAP against each other, debating the merits and drawbacks of both. So, gear up and join us for a deep dive into the exciting, sometimes daunting, yet always fascinating world of NAS with Robbie of NASCompares.
