592: Chris' Netboot Nonsense

Let's raise those sat totals!

I have a nearly four years old Huawei smartphone. The battery still lasts two full days, the camera is great and the form factor is just perfect. Unfortunately, it no longer receives Android updates. Being stuck on Android 10, apps like Slack started to nag me about the end of support in a few months. So what does it take for me to change my phone? Probably just a few more decisions by tech leads, about how much time they want to invest in old Android versions. It's a shame that we live in a world where software dictates when my phone is "broken" and not the actual state of the hardware.

You mentioned the JB website in this episode, and it reminded me of Office Hours. I know it's on hiatus, but it would be awesome to have a new episode that talks about how the websites doing, and how features like self-hosted RSS is coming along! Maybe there could be a "Office Hours Tax" on each JB show, were a small split goes to the Office Hours fund? (Also, this is a Star Trek boost, since the original is under the sat limit)

Surprise surprise, I'm still making my way up to the current episodes lol. Lesson for everybody, do not ever get behind! I think I've been catching up since The Bitcoin dad pod. It's been a while since we had a good old-fashioned Chris soap box! I enjoy them for no other reason than you are clearly passionate, and in this case people are actively (while maybe accidentally) advocating to keep podcasting stagnant. Keep up the good work!

I love the new Members Stream! Getting further insight into the show's topics really completes the podcast experience.
