Podcast cover

LINUX Unplugged

The podcast explores self-hosting solutions and hardware configurations for improved digital living. Chris introduces Keeper.sh, a self-hostable calendar syncing tool to consolidate multiple calendars into a single feed, resolving scheduling conflicts. The hosts then discuss repurposing a PiBox KubeSail, a Raspberry Pi-based device, into a portable media server and Wi-Fi access point for travel to solve the problem of poor internet and media availability in Airbnbs. They consider using CAGE kiosk or Plasma for a streamlined user interface. Finally, they address the growing trend of age verification requirements at the OS level, questioning whether distributions should adopt the proposed SystemD birth date field and asking listeners for their opinions.
