    CrowdStrike BSOD Fiasco with Katie Moussouris

    CrowdStrike BSOD Fiasco with Katie Moussouris

    Bryan and Adam were joined by security expert, Katie Moussouris, to discuss the largest global IT outage in history. It was an event as broadly impactful as it will be instructive; as Bryan noted, you can see all of computing from here, from crash dumps to antitrust.
    In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by special guest Katie Moussouris.

    Heterogeneous Computing with Raja Koduri

    Heterogeneous Computing with Raja Koduri

    Raja Koduri joined Bryan and Adam to answer a question sent in from a listener: what's are the differences between a CPU, GPU, FPGA, and ASIC? And after a walk through history of hardware, software, their intersection and relevant companies, we ... almost answered it!
    In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, our special guest was Raja Koduri.

    Innovation Tokens with Charity Majors

    Innovation Tokens with Charity Majors

    Charity Majors joined Bryan, Adam, and the Oxide Friends to talk about the idea of "innovation tokens"--a fixed budget for, so called, "innovative" projects. When is boring better and when is innovation the safer approach? Is Oxide issuing innovation tokens in some sort of hyper-inflationary cycle!?
    In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by special guest Charity Majors.

    Is NVIDIA like Sun from the Dot Com Bubble?

    Is NVIDIA like Sun from the Dot Com Bubble?

    Every so often we like to give our Oxide and Friends hot takes (or as Adam puts it "Bryan getting trolled on Twitter"). This time, a viral tweet suggests that NVIDIA is on the same trajectory as Sun Microsystems on its ascent during the Dot Com Bubble. From two alumni of Sun's rise and fall: maaaaybe not.
    In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, speakers included Todd Gamblin.

    Rebooting a datacenter: A decade later

    Rebooting a datacenter: A decade later

    Back in May 2014 Joyent accidentally rebooted an entire datacenter (not just the handful of node as intended!). That incident--traumatic was it was--informed many aspects of the Oxide product. Bryan and Adam were joined by members of that former Joyent team to discuss, commiserate, and--perhaps--get some things off their chests.
     a live show weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour, and recording them all; here is the recording.
    In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, speakers included Josh Clulow, Brian Bennett, Robert Mustacchi, and Steve Tuck.

Darryl_R ,

Just so good, nerd out.

I love following what the 0xide team is building and related stuff that interests them. Pull up a chair, nerd out.

Ha boy ,

Audio is unprofessional

Just listened for the first time to the XZ backdoor episode. The guest’s audio is cut off whenever they start talking, and also is generally poor quality and choppy. This is a podcast with technically literate hosts and guests, you guys should be able to record good audio instead of just recording a zoom call.
