LinuxFest Northwest 2025 Day 1

We catch up on our OpenCode workflows, then dive into listener uplinks to explore projects, answer questions, steal good ideas, and suggest a few unnecessarily complicated improvements. Plus, a look at what we've been building since the last Clanker Therapy.

Live from LinuxFest Norhtwest 2025 Day 1. Exclusive coverage, chats, interviews, and more. Catch day two in episode 612 of LINUX Unplugged.

Texas LinuxFest day two live from the floor. It's a busy one, and we have some great guests sit down and chat. Then we send out Brent to walk the show expo hall.

Live from the floor of Texas LinuxFest. We capture the structured chaos 1 from Austin Texas.

Our Nostr workshop. We’ll help you get your Nostr identity and answer any questions. Plus, where we see this protocol going and features coming. The protocol is very promising We're finding new use cases for it every week. It's based on simple and flexible event objects (passed around as plain JSON). A public key identifies every user. Every post is signed. Every client validates these signatures. And, of course - it's open source. How Nostr could be useful for Podcasting One of the more compelling usecases emerging is decentralized realtime chat. Because everything is passed around as plain JSON, the ability to build cross-app and platform apps is built in. Create one identity and use it across all the apps and sites. Taking your identity with you is as simple as bringing your key. Help us test, learn a little Nostr. Fountain.fm is building a new live experience, with an embeddable webchat built around Nostr. The chat can be pulled into any app or website. And it will be easy to build tooling around.
