    LI_S02E61_MongoDB_and_more

    This episode features an update on MongoDB. For those listeners old enough to remember: We had the project on the show a few years back. Much has changed since then - or has it? Stay tuned to find out. But even if you don't know what MongoDB is about but always wanted to dip your toes in the NoSQL waters of document databases and such, this episode is for you! Plus the usual nonsense about vector databases, language models (large, small or medium if size does matter indeed) and all the rest of it. Enjoy!

    LI_S02E60_Esotheric_Programming_Languages

    This episode is witness to our two ageing heroes taking a closer look at the mysterious and wonderful world of esoteric programming languages. So if you ever wanted to know what Brainfuck is really all about (but were too afraid to ask selected members of your family never mind your computer science lecturer), wanted to find out where Forth and Prolog are really used never mind what Zig is all about - you don't want to miss this episode. Plus a trip down memory lane (if our two heroes can remember where to find this memory lane thing).

    LI_S02E59_Coreboot

    This episode is all about getting computers up and running. The software that kicks in after you flick the power switch until the operating system kernel starts up to be more precise. And to be more precise, today's episode is about Coreboot, a FLOSS project aimed at replacing BIOS (rarely these days), UEFI (more often these days) and friends. Plus quite a few primers on CPUs, RAM chips and other esoteric aspects that you always wanted to know about but were too afraid to ask :-).

    LI_S02E58_Continuous_whatever

    This episode is all about the CI/CD of software, standing for chaotic implementation and complete disaster of course :-). Much more seriously, our two ageing heroes take a look at what's out there for the support of continuous integration and continuous deployment of software (you guessed this right? :-). Plus lots of bonus content: Hipster methodologies for developing software, a crash course on two of our most beloved subjects when it comes down to developing the stuf (agile/Scrum), how to really master software quality assurance (hint: no, it's not avoiding it completely! :-) and much much more. So don't miss this episode! If you can't get to sleep. Or otherwise...

    LI_S02E57_Codeberg

    Like Github but don't like the company behind it? Then look no further! This episode has Otto Richter and Michael Jerger never mind our lovely elder two hosts discussing Codeberg, an FLOSS alternative to Github, Gitlab and corporate friends. Using a federated technology based on our beloved git, invented by Linus and friends all those years ago. Sounds fascinating? Then don't miss the episode! Plus bonus content: Chris gets philosophical about plants, the sun and mornings.

    LI_S02E56_Six_Years

    We have made it! Six years in the making and still going strong. With a steadily increasing audience of - wait for it - at least ten listeners. When they can't get to sleep or have nothing else to do. Or - gosh - want to learn something. Like what's Usenet. And why Linux has been so important (yes, it all will be revealed in this episode!). Including a crash course on operating system design (including the operating system war) and CPU design history. Never mind how humorous works. So wars or not, you have an hour to spare, can't get to sleep or want to learn something, never mind want to know why our beloved operating system conquered the world and how humor works and much, much more, you certainly don't want to miss this episode! (Ok, marketing made us do it - before Martin fired them once again).

    LI_S02E55_Thunderbird_Reloaded

    This episode features Thunderbird, one of the (if not the most) popular mail clients in the FLOSS ecosystem. Heather Ellsworth, a buddying physicist turned DevRel (better late than never) from the project spills the beans on the history of the project not only in a Mozilla context, explains that TB's hiatus is just another urban myth and what's ahead for the project. In terms of future roadmap, monetisation and world domination. If that sounds familiar, it should! As the Inlaws have been pondering these last few topics for more than six years now. Although in contrast to Thunderbird with limited success (until now, if you want to know more on these topics and more, don't miss the next episode!).

    LI_S02E54_The_Gettogether

    This episode - recorded in an ultra-secret location near a border (any border will do - almost :-) - is witness to our two ageing heroes being in the same location for a change and gives away some giveaways. For the first time in the Inlaws' history, this episode features a glimpse into the future of the show: an overview of what's to come in 2026! Plus the usual banter about Trump, some FLOSS topics and why red wine for breakfast is almost always the better option. And some beans are spilled - for example, Martin's first programming language (hint: in contrast to popular belief, this wasn't IBM mainframe assembler which was all the rage in the sixties). Plus more from Martin's distant past - if he can remember it.
