We'll Bootc About That (Season 7 Episode 2)
In this episode we start out bantering about Gentoo and how it's not ebuilding/packaging Chromium anymore!
Then, in the meat of the show, we open with Firefox and its new 'facelift' which really just turns out to be a theme you can disable, a little more on the Chromium/Gentoo front, and Orion is now DEAD?! Why?
Next up, Cloudflare is diving into the ACME protocol business and directly

Vibe Coder in the Loop (Season 7 Episode 1)
Today in User Space
We end up covering quite a range of topics. First up, a question. When you want to use Caddy from the distribution's repo, it can't really be Ubuntu because it's old and crusty. We talk through a few options, but want to hear from you! Fedora? Arch? Alpine? What do you recommend?
Then, three months of pent up rage, aggression, worry and ethical concerns in and around

Episode 6:02B: The Cosmic B-Side
This past week, as we were gearing up to record an episode, life had to just get in the way. We had a little wiggle room mid-week, so we decided to get something on tape anyway. Just something a little less structured. And so, this B-side was born.
