About the Show
This is a wide ranging weekly show with lots of topics that are directly and indirectly relevant to Linux users. There’s lots of coverage of security flaws, backdoor problems, the importance of using 2 factor authentication, new technology without clear rules, and a real world view into how to secure our devices. Occasionally, shows include a guest speaker. Recent guests include Steve Mayzak talking about buyer training, and Rami Saas, the Chief Executive Officer of WhiteSource, an open source security and license compliance management platform.
There are show notes published on their website for each show, but they are fairly basic in detail, and don’t offer any timestamps.
