As part of the effort of turning the planet's premier Rust marketing podcast into a full-blown NoSQL show, in this episode Chris hosts some of the key people behind a NoSQL database called TerminusDB (Martin couldn't make it as he was firing, um, re-organising the Inlaw's marketing department once again). Luke (the CEO) and Gavin (CTO) of TerminusDB spill the beans on the history of the project, ontologies and why they still matter not only in a mobile-first world and why a website called DB Engines simply doesn't do the trick (putting it very diplomatically). Never mind the road ahead... (including quantum AI and some other fancy stuff - you heard it here first!). And also next week's lotto numbers (perhaps).

In this episode, Martin and Chris shed more light on the riveting subject of non-profit and not-for-profit organisations especially in the US with a special focus on the all- important topic of tax implications. Warning: Due to the fast-paced and gripping never mind explicit natur of this topic, people with sleeping disabilities or who are easily startled / offended by graphic content should consult a member of the medical profession to ensure that they are capable of handling this episode.

In this episode Martin and Chris host John Hawley of kernel.org fame. The discussion centers around Python, the royal British family and other FLOSS topics such as some break-away colonies like the US, version control systems, wireless wikis and containers. Never mind Python. Did I mention Python? :-) And perhaps VMware. Ever wondered why early versions of git just gobbled up your main memory? You may or may not find the answer in this episode.

In this episode our two ageing heroes explore the inner workings of a podcast (or podcast hosting platform depending on your perspective) called Hacker Public Radio. Yes, the platform that the Inlaws have been using since the very inception of this rapidly growing FLOSS podcast content. Wondering what the heck this episode is all about, why exactly Martin and Chris are talking about this now and the importance of statistics, lies and damned lies? Then just listen to this episode. You may also find out the difference between mere caching and content syndication. Never mind HPR's inner workings.

A counter point to this show is available: hpr3648 :: A response to tomorrows show In this episode, Martin and Chris take a closer look at twenty years of Linux Inlaws history. Why, you may ask, given the fact that this podcast has only been in existence for roughly over two years, are we reviewing this history? The answer - of course - is straight forward: by sheer coincidence our two heroes got hold of a future episode which traveled back in time from the future. If you ever wondered about time-travel, the paradoxes associated with this and what the next twenty years have in store not just from a Linux Inlaws perspective, this episode is for you.

In this episode, the Linux Inlaws interview a potential new recruit :-) call Kris Jenkins, from Kafka, an Apache project implementing a scalable distributed event streaming platform (don't know what that is? Listen to the show! :-) . A cautious warning: This episode contains strong philosophical / political views, language and insights which may change your views on messaging systems in general and Kafka in particular. Two hints: Chris shares his view on what a database *really* is and Kris Jenkins tries hard to convince our two aging heroes that he's the man for the job (teaser: he decided to stay at his current position as a dev advocate at Confluent after all). Plus: More on love, death and robots. Interested in the details? Then don't miss this show!

In this episode, Martin and Chris interview Eric Rescorla, the CTO of Firefox at Mozilla. After discussing the weather situation in the Kingdom formerly known as the UK, our two aging heros go right into browsers, programming languages, the Mozilla ecosystem and internet history and future alike. This episode again is not for the faint-hearted as none of the gory details are spared: We learn about Chris' t-shirt situation (and how you can kidnap apparel), why Google is so sucessful, data privacy and Internet monetization. Never mind rendering engines. Plus: more Rust marketing (Rebecca Rumbul: Take note :-).

In this continuation of S01E57 our two chaps discuss how you can take containers from single instances to production-ready, scalable deployments handling large app stacks and that new-fangled hipster concept called micro-services. Using the once Google-owned project called Borg which later evolved into something now known as Kubernetes (k8s) as an example, Martin and Chris discuss typical challenges when using containers as the main infrastructure to modern workloads. Including such gory topics such as what happens if a container dies and doesn't go to heaven, contradictions in terms such as ephemeral storage and why many k8s developers have defected to VMware.
