Joining the ZIP code trend. Linux enthusiast since 1993 (a.k.a dinosour). Daily Gnome user. Tried Xfce - it was ok. I have not touched KDE for ages (since 2004ish) finding the design mindset a bit too dated at the time. Pls convince me to find time to play with KDE :-D

yay for more technical content! I have implemented so many things based on your excitement on projects and solutions! maybe a show note link to a guide for more newbies. keep up the great show guys!

@Dark Year Leet in Odense (5240). It is really a series of numbers and not codes. Fun fact, this postNummer in Denmark, directly translated into English is: Eel-Castle East. Although the citizens of this town never think about as such.

cashing out of fountain, also ignore my previous boost about the wrong amount, didn’t think of fees LOL. finally once again thank you guys and sorry for the spam :)

Greetings from my sats-zip-code! Love all the work you guys do! Glad for the mention of Castamatic a few episodes ago (maybe on OO?) because I also see Fountain timestamp issues and Podverse can't queue RSS-Feed episodes so none of the member feed :( but Castamatic works and I figured out Alby, so here we are! Love you guys, hopefully see you in my neighborhood one day! (Noah + JB combo meetup???)

Loving that you brought back the long intro/outro music, brings back the old 2-digit episode nostalgia

This may be a boost better suited for Office Hours, but I wonder if there is/could be a way to use Nextcloud as a source of truth, or backend CMS for your RSS feeds & JB Website

Sir Boosts-a-lot here again. I have to tell you how much I loved LUP 503. The AI tech in NC is cool & the ethical approach is VERY MUCH appreciated. However Brent being Brent, the human story behind Nextcloud and the meetups with Ber-listeners was great! I love both thhe tech and the human story.

Oh my god the Bitwarden ad read on the live stream was hilarious! You need a low-orbit ion cannon? I hear Lolsec has some old surplus DDOS-gear for cheap. Those spicy SOBs... at least they're good for inspiring great content!

SO I got a laugh out of my last message talking about tiny imperfections because I meant to send leet sats, not 1333. My point was, or is that these tiny imperfections make us human and relatable. So as a podcaster who cares about his product, my feedback is that the rough edges add character.

FWIW I notice the slight mis-alignment of the "terminal windows" you use in the OBS matte when showing all three video streams at once. Wes is just a couple pixels too low man. But it make me smile because I always think back to LAS and Noah's tryptich. Tiny rough edges like that are... endearing!

Noah's trptich (trip-tick) refers to his three-panel painting that was behind him in the video version of LAS. It was obvious to me and several other watchers that the paintings were meant to align together in a certain orientation. It was brought up in feedback but Noah never re-arranged them.

No, Chris, we have never met. Never been to a meetup or fest. I don't drive, and live in a remote town. So travel takes planning. One day though it would be really cool to make a meatspace meetup. Maybe share a brew & some barbeque... For now, it's cool.. we can all be slightly imaginary friends!

So that's my zip code but you already knew that But alas its time to have fun! With numbers First off diving my sats by itself is the current temperature outside in Celsius however if you take that sat amount and divide it by the number of hosts, thats approximately how much I spent in boost attempts trying to figure out how to send one. In the end Im still not sure on alby and podverse bad UX imo

Enjoying the show as usual and nice to hear from Brent in Berlin - a few days late. He is half way to Bangalore, India, where I am. Any plans for visiting this part of the world? Thank you for the show and hope Brent is enjoying Tumbleweed as I am. Take care all.

I’m so glad someone else got my Internet Explorer joke. I had been looking forward to making it for almost a year. I wanted to wait longer to make it, but I had to balance waiting with the risk of someone else doing it before me. As for touching some grass, we got 6” of snow over the weekend so I can only just go back to browsing memes and listening to podcasts.

I totally agree with the comments about keeping it technical. The healthy stream of humor and technical is the reason I keep coming back. I am fairly new to Linux -- I came over to LUP whenever Tech Snap was archived and have been learning a little more and a little more each week. I've been dabbling and finding ways to leverage Linux at work the past several years. Keep up the great work and never be afraid to go deep. We love it!

JB Presents: Brent Worldwide!

On the basic vs. technical stuff, a mix is nice. I'm still learning and appreciate the simpler stuff from time to time. I get great knowledge and ideas from the more technical shows but if that was all you did I'd probably burn out. Damn it Spock, I'm human not a machine!

Ok I'll let you all in on the joke, internet explorer (the browser) had a reputation for always being slow, so much so that a month after the Oscar's a meme came out with the IE logo saying "great news guys, Leo won an oscar!". Someone please boost in and say you know what I'm referencing so I don't have to go outside and touch grass.

[Pre-show boost] I like this visual I have of Brent going to Germany and starting a bunch of protests

Some amazing on-the-scene Nextcloud coverage by Brently. With everything in Hub 4 and beyond, I'm even more excited than I've been in a while for what's become a critical application in my home environment. PS, my boost is my zip code with extra steps. You can't throw a leading zero on a boost, so I had to lop it onto the end. Hope you make it up this way one of these days. I would love to meet you all.

Yaaaarrrrrg. Lovely. I earned that nick cuz it's my name backwards(ish) + I had a VW R32 car I loved so much. Bonus that it's a call back to all things 32-bit, and sounds like of pirate-y and is fun on TLAP day. FYI Folding@Home is a legit citizen science project from Stanford that helps research diseases like cancer and anyone can pitch in to help. Better use of my GPU than SETI@home was, I think.

Chris: I’m pretty sure you just mentioned a cookbook mobile app for Nextcloud… if so, so share. Like your family, I’m an iOS user 😉

Nextcloud AIO... Enough said 😜

great show. here's a row of ducks I've finally collected on fountain.

My Nextcloud install has been running for six years and has gradually replaced more and more cloud services, while teaching me systems administration in a friendly way. Truly a remarkable open source project.

Had a great time at the Berlin meet up. Boosting some sats back to say thanks for organizing it and for the stickers. It was great to meet some other listeners and of course to meet Brent. Thanks to nextcloud for hosting too!

PS - My last boost amount was my zipcode

Happy belated 500! I think TechSnap was the first JB show I found maybe 7-8 yrs ago with Chris & Allan. I quickly found LAS. Noah never fixed his tryptich. Good shows come ang gone. I've been lurkin' a long time. I've loved all the great JB content. Thank you so much. It's better than Star Trek!

Keep up the linuxy nerdiness. Drop the least significant digit for the zipcode.

hey guys! this boost is meant for Coder Radio because fountain says that podcast still doesn’t accept lightning payments. I’m boosting in my boring zip code. It’s a tech desert and shrinking home of the failing Rosetta Stone. I just want to say I’ve been loving you guys’ takes on SVB and the TikTok mess. Hope you guys are well.

Awesome show guys, keep it coming and keep it insanely technical! Loved the nix challenge. I've been trying to install Nix on my Pine Rockpro64 SBC for while now, booting ARM is always a challenge. Maybe one day I'll get it working!

Here is what I've learned on my GrapheneOS Journey. If you are on GoogleFi, consider looking for another cell provider first as you have to have the GoogleFi app and the Play Store logged in for Text Messaging to work. I'll probably move to Mint Mobile soon but i'm open to suggestions for providers. Next, having either Nextcloud or Proton for your backend (or in my case both) is a must to keep data synced up and backed up from the phone. I use Nextcloud for my Notes, Contacts, and File Backup with Proton for Mail and Calendars. Sees to work really well for me so far.

I wanted to boost to thank @cg_bassplayer for all the assistance and training on contributing to JB's Github!

I'm not sure if the international postal/zip codes really work. I remember hearing some before, but when Chris looked them up from the US, it looked like somewhere in the states. I'm curious if you can find me based on this boost. Canadian codes also don't work because they have letters and are 6 digits (so a lot of sats). It's not because the rest of the world is afraid of sats. Anyways, looking forward to meeting Brent and other listeners tomorrow

okay that was embarrassing. Google keyboard decides what to change in my words. let's try again. i just wanted to boost in since it's a long time ago. and to make this thing exciting. this is my zip code. or more precisely it is in may language to English translated to either "post code" or "post number". what country and what city do i live in ? best to you all. enjoy every day listening to the many podcasts from JB and 2.5 admins.

i just wanted to boos since it's a long time ago. and to make this thing exiting. this is my zip code. or morer precisely it is en may language to English translated to either "post code" or "post number". what country and what city so i love in ? best to you all. enjoy every day listening to the many podcasts from JB and 2.5 admins.

greetings gents. I wanted to boost in because episode 502 was a banger of a show. really enjoyed the deep dive into the topic. I didn’t feel boosts over shadowed the main topic. I appreciated the higher level overview in LAN followed up with a deeper dive in LUP. keep up the good work. PS: Welcome to all the new listeners. do yourself a favor and become a member as the member feed is awesome.

Well crap I forgot about the 2000 sat cutoff, 16 added on to this one to fill in the previous boost. Also what did I unleash on Chris.... I'm like Dr. Frankenstein, I've created a monster and lost control of it....oh well off to the Winchester till it all blows over.

Just wanted to let Internet Explorer know I got the joke. Though it would have been funnier if you had waited a few more episodes.

I'm setting up NextCloud for myself and I might just do sqlite with some backup strategy. Its so simple!

They also have a page on alternatives: litestream.io/alternatives

Chris might want to check out litestream.io to continuously replicate a sqlite db instead of switching away from sqlite

Obligatory bad gateway error boost

Its disheartening to hear that Docker is doing this. but, i suppose money has to be made

Can you play CODM or similar multiplayer games or does the anticheat system trip up with GrapheneOS?

Here's a bump for the post-500 slump. I got these sats by trading Curecoin that I was rewarded with doing Folding@home, of course, on Linux. Cheers from NorCal bay area. Keep up the good work.

Been listening since around episode 300 and love the show. Just wanted to get in on the whole Zip code thing and show my appreciation. Can't wait to see where y'all are in another 500 episodes!

Hi Chris, Wes and Brent, I just listened to Office Hours 9: We hate crypto too. And I must say it was a great episode, and not just for the Boosts discussion. Great discussion around RSS and around technical dept. I highly recommend this to all Unplugged listeners. I like the boosts, because it enabled you to read all the feedback. I remember a time when Chris didn't want to open his e-mail inbox anymore because of the backlog. I also like the interaction. Best regards, Martin de Boer

Congratulations on the great milestone!

Here are all my stats I’ve earned on fountain. Sadly I’m going back to pocket casts because fountain keeps restarting podcasts I’m in the middle of as well as some show feeds just not working. I first found self hosted and now listen here as well. I love everything you do and keep up the great work. You might even see me at Linux fest northwest.

just boosting in to keep the feedback coming. Ive been listening for almost 4 years now and would love to see you guys stop by here, 89012 sometime soon

In re: flatpak- I love it, I already use it, and it kinda already is my cross-distro App Store. I’m totally fine to pay or donate for apps; however, good god no subscriptions please. Subscription software is one of the main reasons I left the OS X ecosystem.

Hey again made a typo last boost. Here is a few more. Keep up the great shows!

Hi team, I have been listening Jupiter Broadcast for at least 8 years. First time booster here as well.

Happy Episode 500!

Hello! Using nixos on my odroid h3+ plus and I am loving it. Installing Plex with intel quick-sync was only four lines of config. I started my config in a vm before copying my configuration.nix to the real hardware. Everything just worked on the new hardware with almost zero effort. I’m sold!

I've come to the conclusion that 2/3 of the JB community are Canadians. hello from Vancouver Island BC. the even more PNW to your PNW.

my recommendation for the It's been a long road boost is the date of the nx-01 launch 16042151. if someone does boost that I think It's safe to say they earned the whole song.

Started playing with distrobox after hearing about it in episode 496 on OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I defiantly see the advantage of containerization and being able to pull software from other distros. Was wondering if you guys got any deeper into it and what you thoughts are on it.

PS,... the AI clip from 500 genuinely made me feel uncomfortable. That was an uncanny valley moment for me but also pretty incredible. If you're ever Midwest bound, my driveway is big enough to park two full size RVs and you're welcome to a spot.

(part 2) I was working at -64.77, -64.05 (longitude, latitude) and spent most of my workdays discussing tech and Linux especially with my network engineer office mate. I haven't missed any episode since. I'm excited about LinuxFest and shared the announcement my company's Teams Linux channel. Prior obligations will likely prevent me from attending this year so fingers crossed for a blowout so I can do the next one.

(part 1)Belated congrates on episode 500. I'm sorry I missed it live. A zip boost for my show and Linux history. My first Linux experience was in 2001 in my high school PC repair class. I installed Mandrake on one of my lab machines. Unfortunately my career path has me mostly stuck in a Microsoft world. I didn't start back on Linux til 2019 when I started listening to your show.

i just discovered this show about a week ago in the fountain app. it is a good mix of entertaining and educational for this linux noob, even though i dont understand much of it. over the past year i have been working on removing microsoft and google from my life. i am running ubuntu and graphene. both of these have been easier than expected. getting chickens is a great idea by the way, stop eating shitty grocery store eggs. getting chickens has been just as liberating as changing to linux

Re: All charged up for linux on a monday - Let me tell you guys, this show is the best part of my Monday morning workflow. Along with possibly getting to listen to Coder live? its a really solid way to get the day DONE!

Since i dont have enough sats to send in my zip, im sending in my area code! The first three are my A.C. Hope to see you guys out near here some day!

Just finished episode 500 and wanted to give some value back (although a bit late) as a little thank you. I really like the concept of ZIP code boosts, it nicely puts into perspective the variety of all the lovely people that listen to the show. Almost makes me wonder about a possibility of having some kind of a map that would display them all. That being said, I feel the boosts so far have been too american-centrist, so step up your game rest of the world! Sent from 779 00 - Czechia

First-time time Booster, watching live - Boosting via the Podcast Index web page. Thank you for asking Rob the questions on my mind. I feel like they have a realist approach that could actually work. Exciting time to be a Linux user.

Just because 🙂

Hey team! This is my first time boosting, but I have been a listener since 2008, and a Linux lover since 2004 (my first was Warty Warthog). Thanks for everything you do for the community, and for giving it your all even when times get rough. It has been amazing to see JB blossom into what it is today. Also, congrats on 500 and 501! missing watching LUP live on Tuesdays, but understand why your journey brought you back to Sundays.

Boosting in to say hi to all and make everyone aware of a new post in the Matrix room. https://matrix.to/#/!JZktAZAXgLKuaMxMUN:jupiterbroadcasting.com/$B9fXHzO0IZKslUFQgOxqd0WZQ9r93SiGhGBLycSFLXM?via=jupiterbroadcasting.com&via=matrix.org&via=linuxdelta.com

With episode 500, I thought I'd share my listening story. I started in 2021 when I found a good chunk of time to fill, and shortly was working the LUP backlog from episode 1. Since then I've started listening to all the current JB shows, finished my backlog, and LUP's production value has been the bar against which I compare any other podcast I listen to (spoiler: only the ones Joe Ressington works on come close). LUP has been a big inspiration to my love of linux, thanks!

Hi JBs! Greetings from Austria and thanks for all the great content over the last years! If you ever plan to be around Austria or Germany, happy to organise a meetup!

What's this about dicks falling off. I wasn't worried about til Chris mentioned it

Hi guys from Québec Canada, I have been listening for many years! You got me into the open source and Linux rabbit hole. Trying to use Linux as much for school and work, but it's hard to make it work when you dont have a choice, so it's only a hobby even if I hate Windows and I have to use it everyday... But I am trying to change that! keep up your amazing work 🦆🦆! Cheers 🍻

Congratulations on the big milestone. Keep up the good work.

Hello JB crew, Coming at you from London, Ontario, Canada. Congrats on 500 episodes! +1 for Castamatic , hoping to make more live shows in the future. Alby is all set up :) Kelds.

That AI-generated Windows Unplugged is so BLURSED. I loved it.

So we're doing zip codes now? Here's mine, I don't live there anymore, but that's where I grew up (hint: it's in the Republic of Moldova). Happy 500th,everybody!!!

The first 4 digits is my trip odometer! :D

Chris and Team- just wanted to say you all are doing a great job already. Greg McKeown in his book, Essentialism, would challenge you, "How can you do less but better?" Say no to more things and more shows and have capacity for the great things you've been dreaming of. Keep yourself young and energetic and able to hit episode 1000 by not trying to do it all. Rather than "more and subpar," always aim for "less but better." Keep up the great work!

Im really trying to convince my wife to take our business up there to LFNW, it would be amazing to meet everybody and be the best mascot i can be! Glad i was able to make it to 500!

You really got me with the new show thing. I was hyped since you "accidentally" dropped it in the pre pre show. That was evil

Congrats on 500 episodes! I love all your shows. Thank you everyone for your hard work. How about some 7 of 9 sound bytes? Maybe "fun will now commence". You should also bring back "there's coffee in that nebula".

5000 sats to apologize for the Enterprise boost on 500. Thanks for putting up with my shenanigans.

Have you all thought about having meet ups at some where other than a bar? I would have come to the 500 meet up but I can’t be around booze or drunk folks.

Hello! I'm a fairly new listener (within the past couple of months). I was digging through the Breez Wallet looking for some good non-bitcoin podcasts to listen to. I'm *quite* deep into the lightning ecosystem and have a lot of related podcasts I already listen to, so finding something outside that realm was my goal. Glad I stumbled upon your podcast! You guys finally convinced me to switch off iOS to GrapheneOS. Switching from iOS to Android is quite a usability downgrade for me, but the Gnome and KDE integrations with Android are making me feel a lot better about it. Out of curiosity, do you guys run your own node to receive boosts? I'm boosting from my own node via Alby! FOSS, peer-to-peer money for the win, baby!

All these “I stated listening” boosts made me finally look… it seems I started listening to LUP around episode 410 here and there and then got hooked… I haven’t missed one since playing LUP 416, LAN 197, Self Hosted SRE 52, and Office Hours 1.

Congratulations from Portland Or, on 500 episodes love the show and I'm look forward to the next 500. Here's all the sats I've earned from fountain. Sincerely CleverCompiler

I think the most interesting hardware I’ve run Linux on is when I had Yellow Dog Linux on an Apple iBook circa 2004. Second most interesting was likely when I had Debian on an old Sun Sparc box and used it to recover data from ZFS pools - the server was floor standing and about 12 or 15 U tall and load balanced power across 3 massive power supplies. It’s large number of drive bays made it great for the job. I’ve sent a picture of it to you via Matrix for reference

I missed the Live stream, but I still wanted to boost in to say thanks for 500 episodes and I’m looking forward to the next 500.

Congratulations on 500

Pure curiosity: was the sensor I sent one of the ones that got deployed?

For quite some time, I too thought Levi was a human child

Happy 500, keep up the good work

Happy 500! Congrats!!
