next Tuesdaaaauyyy!
That was one hell of a rant. Wow. Everyone in the Linux and FOSS community needs to listen to this!
This episode had me so excited to finally hear someone talking about Jellyfin. Since I am barely dipping my toes into Linux, transcoding has been more important for me since I share this with friends and often use my server remotely. It's been a hassle, but I've got it to work on bare metal configuration. I had to use VA-API instead of QSV, but I wish I knew more to know if I'm truly utilizing my server's transcoding ability.
thank you for this episode
I love the "NEXT TUUESDAAAAY!!!" outro, but then again, I'm new to the show lol
47:40: good MD editor for researching and also has export options: https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr
12:53: wayland support start
super post
Thanks for this episode! I like that attitude towards MS, i.e. let them have their strategies and marketing but don't let this distract through fear and anger. Rise above it. Linux people should continue to be the best by begin welcoming to users and continue to be the most creative IT community. Keep with the humility and openness. (Back when I worked for SUN Microsystems, I was irritated by the animosity between databases engineers and Java programmers. It was quite childish.)
very nice
I'm pleased to hear common lisp and emacs named in the show even as a joke.
"the control panel is a dumpster fire"
46:12: jc command, pipe to for creating JSON output from regular commands?

14:03: that is going to be a game changer for the people who bbn like tiling window managers...I am definitely going to have to check that out! I definitely look forward to pop-shell 😁
My favorite podcast right now is Linux Unplugged by Jupiter Broadcasting. A must listen for any fan of FOSS.
