Enterprise Linux Security Episode 71 – Internet DRM

In this episode, Jay and Joao talk about two recent news developments that may have important implications on the overall industry. First, In response to Microsoft’s recent Azure debacle, a US Senator calls for a probe to look into the matter. Second, our main story is yet another facepalm worthy idea from Google that aims to add “integrity” to our browsers, but it’s oddly lacking in said integrity and almost completely devoid of common sense.

The Homelab Show Episode 99 – Secondary Distro

What would you do if your daily driver distribution becomes something else entirely, and no longer fits your use-case? What would you do if your chosen distro all of a sudden went away? Although it seems unlikely, historically – this has happened. And given the fact that the Linux community is going to see a lot of changes in the near future with decisions from upstream distros – it’s never been a better time to choose a secondary distro (just in case).
