This episode introduces a somewhat brand-new concept: an off-topic subject. As in: How to excel in the beautiful and ancient art of Origami (the Japanese fine art of paper folding, going back a few centuries if not more). Still reading? Excellent! Jokes aside, in this episode Martin and Chris will shed more light on one of their dark sides of their lives. To be more precise: podcasts the Inlaws (as in: we) listen to. Apart from the most famous one called Linux Inlaws (and if you believe this, you'll believe anything :-)). But stay tuned: If you are longing for more details of the very private life of our two ageing heroes, this is the episode you do not want to miss! Especially if you're into our time-travelling episodes...

LI_S02E49_Halloween_2025
In this scary Halloween episode, Martin and Chris touch on a horrible subject indeed: a 100+ years o life experience. Be prepared for the dreadful details of more than a century of combined wisdom (really?). And, yes, FLOSS maybe involved. Plus: More from another dark side: our beloved Tech Support makes an appearance once again and helps a certain Transylvanian countess with their movie problem. And more bonus content awaits: a primer on floppy disks. Confused? You should be! The answer: Listen to the episode!

LI_S02E48_GNU_Taler
The focus of this episode is Gnu Taler, an answer to the questions that Diem, various crypto currency shenanigans and other attempts at world domination via money pose to wider audience. Martin and Chris discuss the ins and outs of this approach with two of the main people behind the project, Christian Grothoff and Leo Wittman. So if you ever wanted to know about a totally legit alternative to any dubious currency monkey businesses, this is the episode you don't want to miss.

LI_S02E47_Tied_up_and_shackled
Tied up, shackled and then some: In contrast what you may be thinking after this intro, in this episode Martin and Chris take a closer look at an obscure concept known not only in esoteric circles as the software supply chain (chain being the keyword here). Once only appreciated by the inner circle of a small group of level-eight magicians, this concepts has now entered mainstream and is considered instrumental not only in the area creating and maintaining large scale codebases possibly clocking up a few million lines of code. This especially becomes important when a codebase largely relies on FLOSS components commonly downloaded from the internet. Relying on these components may cause a security issue if not handled with caution as not only the recent xz-utils incident (where possibly a nation-state actor) managed to infiltrate a popular compression library virtually used everywhere. So if you're interested in the security of your builds and applications, this is another episode you don't want to miss.
