Linux Inlaws

As it's almost a ritual with the Inlaws around Halloween, our two hosts are catching up with our famous countess. On movies and other fun stuff. If you haven't got a clue what that means, a little refresher: About a year ago, a damsel in distress (for want of a better description :-) rang the Dark Side Tech Support for help with an agent threatening her with a movie deal to ride the wave of success (read: milk the cash cow just a tad bit more) of the movie Nosferatu released a few years back. With the help of our trusted tech support, Vladessa was able to swing this her way: A flick about the stony path from a peasant girl to the ruler of something which is now probably one of the largest blood wholesalers on the planet. Done in true Brontë-style similar to Wuthering Heights, you get it. For the finer details, simply listen to S02E49 (shame on you if you missed this so far! :-). Plus details about the record (Record? What record? No further teasers here, just listen to the episode).

This episode is all about music. And what FLOSS has to do with this. So if you're interested in music (but then who isn't) and how FLOSS can help you there, this is the episode you don't want to shy away from. Plus more shocking revelations about the point in time when Martin first became a father. All those decades ago (and maybe even more :-). So if you are interest in this type of unveiling this is certainly an episode you don't want to miss. At all!

This episode hosts Michael Neuendorf from Gonicus, a company providing FLOSS solutions. So what? you may rightly ask. But wait - this is not just one of these blatant marketing stunts the Inlaws try to avoid (unless there's significant money involved :-). But rather another showcase of innovative FLOSS solutions at play for more than twenty years, a voice-over-IP (VoIP) with out-of-the-box Jitsi and Matrix integration being one of these solutions. Sounds interesting? Then don't miss this episode!

The subject of this episode is something that everybody does but only few talk about: elections. Well, not quite. :-) The subject is actually adult entertainment, also commonly known as "porn" (short for pornography). Such a delicate subject is, of course, treated with the required utmost sobriety and earnestness which the Inlaws are known for (yeah, right!). So if you have ever wondered but were too afraid to ask about the finer aspects of the FLOSS in the adult entertainment business, this is the show you don't want to miss. Plus: bonus content on the use of FLOSS in the general movie business (the focus groups insisted that this has to be part of the episode due to "political correctness" and other concepts hard to comprehend:-). And of course this episode would not be complete without the acknowledgment and celebration of Martin's favourite subject: Amish Porn Websites. So don't miss this episode!

In this episode a high-speed queuing system is the center of the discussion. No, we didn't manage to unearth the corpse of Kafka or some other long-forgotten queuing system but focus on something very fast called LavinMQ written in - wait for it - Crystal. Crystal you may ask? Aren's decent queueing systems written in Java (a joke, I know :-), Erlang or C? And does the world and dog have not enough queueing systems already? All mysteries will be revealed, so don't miss this show!
