listening to you talk about graphene OS finally made me decide to start looking at it more seriously. I got an old pixel 3A running it right now and I'll be moving my primary phone to it soon. It will be hard giving up Android auto but I really like Magic Earth. also, this is allowed me to move more into open source software on Android and find alternatives for applications that I probably never really needed to have on my phone to begin with.

I've been thinking about switching to jellyfin from plex. now they have started renting movies. but don't want to start over with my library of what I've checked and not. especially when you have ran plex for 4 + years.

I started as a sys admin, then became a network engineer, then became a Linux systems engineer and now an engineering manager. never have I ever written a bash script. in fact I barely know bash. ansible and python have been able to do everything I’ve ever needed to automate

+1 for the Linux and self-hosting community aspect of the network. I don't really say anything in Matrix but I lurk and learn. I have no one in my day to day that is into these topics, not even my GMRS and Ham buddies, so it's really nice to know I have a community of like minded people out there, even if it's only virtual. P.S. no need to read on air. just wanted to say thanks for everything.

Just recently rebuilt our home server with an Odroid H3 with NixOS, a data store on BTRFS (soon to be raid), Jellyfin for media playback, Syncthing for backups, Tailscale for remote access to everything, and even Nextcloud for experimenting with. I'm pretty proud of it, and the themes of quality, ownership, longevity, and repairability are all things that I realized I was thinking about while setting it up! Just gotta get the off-site backups running ;) Thanks for the show!

Long time fan of the show, but new to this whole 'sats' thing, so trying it out here for the first time. Keep up the great work, guys!

fyi I don't see 493 on this feed yet in fountain

Many thanks for the Graphene OS coverage. I don't trust Apple any more than I trust Google or any other large company with strategy tax. Open source all the things!!!

Neeva search just enabled AI responses that seems like GPT3

I really wish that Plex would get into the set top box game. There aren’t many Shield alternatives right now and TVs are way underpowered for what we do on them. Having a really sold OS and hardware preconfigured for TV scale and streaming apps would be a real game changer.

You are getting old but that's okay. Skip SCALE and save your time, capital, and energy for something you're excited for.

First time listener. I just set up Ubuntu on an old laptop. Looking forward to the journey.
