The swaggiest of the swags

This is free tech swag. At its best it links up the whole Star Wars Bar Scene of diverse geniuses, oddball obsessives, community curators and old experienced nice guys that make up what tech is truly about. Digression as art form mixed with severe and accurate focus any German PhD candidate would be proud of. And just that slightest touch of American hokiness accomodating European social leftism to create the necessary awkwardness of all True Tech.

Open Source

Excellent podcast on open source apps. Can be very technical, but very interesting.

Bareos interview train wreck

Interviewers had no knowledge of product and operations. but then go on to ignore their guest ask questions already answered.
Over and over. Clearly not listening.
