    LI_S02E67_The_clouds_open_and_otherwise

    This show is host to two clouds, Nextcloud and OpenCloud. A little bit of history: Both clouds go back to some common origin called ownCloud, a FLOSS project devised around sixteen years ago with the aim to allow each and every user of the software to have their own file hosting and synchronisation platform. ownCloud was forked to become NextCloud around 2016 and OpenCloud came into existence in 2025 when ownCloud was forked once again. Curious? Then don't wait but rather hit play to listen to the episode. As we hear this straight from the horse's mouth. As we the founders of both companies on the show speaking about the origins, present state and future. Even if you're not into file synchronisation you don't want to miss this episode as there's both projects have evolved over the years time to become much much more than pure file-hosting platforms (yea, we are talking office functionality similar to the proprietary functionality available from your big hyperscalers, etc.). Interested? Then don't miss this episode.

    LI_S02E66_Sovereignty_digital_and_otherwise

    In this episode Martin and Chris tackle the important subject of digital sovereignty. Something becoming more and more important if you don't want to wake up one morning just to see all of your mails and mailboxes vanished just because some foreign provider decided to cut off your mail server access (same goes for file cloud storage, office software, etc. Many other use cases do apply). But how to tackle this conundrum? Fear not, dear listeners, as usual the inlaws got you covered. So don't miss this episode!

    LI_S02E65_Freifunk

    This episode is host to an eclectic panel representing a German project called Freifunk, essentially a free-for-all mesh network providing Internet access to the general public. Originally developed as a local shortcut to a fast Internet hookup in Berlin, this project has become hugely successful in metropolitan areas around Germany and beyond. So if you have ever wondered about these access points with the name freifunk as part of the name, are just plain curious about the technology behind this network or even thought about running an access point yourself, you don't want to miss this show!

    LI_S02E64_Privacy_and_FLOSS

    Ever wondered what Google really knows about you (this applies to other big tech companies as well) and how to prevent this unsolicited gathering of information (to avoid the nasty term "spying"), this is the episode you want to listen to. And of course the rest of the back catalog of shows you carefully managed to avoid so far as you were of the opinion that other drugs are better suited to put you to sleep in no time. But weren't aware of the side effects. Now for the good news: As Linux Inlaws doesn't have any side effects (apart from furthering your knowledge of course), there's no package insert (hooray! :-).

    LI_S02E63_Kodi

    The focus of this episode is a little unknown project by the name of Kodi, formerly known as XBMC. Powering approximately 75% of the world's hotel set-top boxes alone (wild guess :-), this codebase has come a long way since its inception more than 20 years ago. Chris and Martin have a panel of coredevs at the ready, ready to spill the beans and much more. Subjects range from esoteric programming languages such as C++, world domination (no surprises there! :-) and how to get there (as the brochure looks nice) and more. Much more. And FLOSS licenses. Curious what this blatant teaser is all about? Then don't miss this show!

    LI_S02E62_The_history_of_AI_almost_complete

    History is the subject of this episode. So if you ever wondered what happened roughly 13 billion years ago (give or take a few), this episode is for you. Almost. As post-production advised us (to avoid the nasty term "try on your new shoes made from concrete in the middle of the ocean), we had to narrow this down to the history of a particular subject. So sparing no expenses never mind wisdom we chose artificial intelligence. As we are still struggling with the natural type of this anyway. So without further ado, let's get right into it. Word of caution: As usual, please be advised that listening to this show while driving, operating heavy machinery or other activities requiring your concentration and attention may not be a good idea. You have been warned! Plus bonus content about Skynet and winters of the AI persuasion (we desperately hope that at least this got your attention :-). And dolphins of course.

    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).
