Sysadministrivia r00t^2 We podcast all things system administration/engineering/infosec, with a strong focus on GNU/Linux. We use F/OSS software whenever possible in the production of these podcasts. Please be sure to view the full show notes on the site! Explicit Well There‘s Your Problem WTYP is Justin Roczniak, November Kelly, Liam McAnderson, and friends. This is a podcast about engineering disasters and systemic failures, from a leftist perspective, with jokes Explicit Boiler Room Alternate Current Radio Boiler Room, custom designed for media maniacs, savants, bar fly philosophers and otherwise lovable political animals. The show that straps itself to a rocket like Wiley Coyote and lights the fuse every Thursday night, ready to blast off into the media sphere with news, pop culture, music, movies, deep state politics, false flag research, pulling the threads on phony stories and propaganda where we find them. Science, tech, philosophy, social engineering, the degeneracy of the progressives, the falsity of the right left paradigm… you name it we’ve probably threw up on it during one of our parties. Explicit Friday Afternoon Deploy: A Developer Podcast Lofty Labs Episodes and show notes available at friday.hirelofty.com. An unapologetic show about the culture and chaos of software engineering from the makers and breakers of digital products at Lofty Labs. We build software with Python and Django, Ruby and Rails, Golang, whatever frontend framework we're forced to use because it's popular this month, and anything else to get the job done right. Then on Friday afternoons we have a beer and talk about our regrets on this show. Explicit
