In this episode of Linux Unplugged, Chris, Wes, and Brent discuss the upcoming Terminal User Interface (TUI) challenge, detailing the rules, point system, and how listeners can participate. They then dive into a risky live update of their production Nextcloud instance, celebrating a surprisingly smooth upgrade. The hosts explore the concept of disposable servers, particularly for self-hosted applications like Jellyfin, and present their individual solutions for creating such a server with persistent storage, with Brent judging the cleverness, reproducibility, and functionality of each approach. The episode also includes listener boosts, a discussion on Bluefin Linux, and picks of the week: WS4KP, a retro weather display, and YTDL-sub, a tool for automating YouTube downloads and metadata generation for media centers.
