Mark notices that the night temperatures are higher than the day temperatures in Kilkishen that day and this reminds him of of an article he recently read about night time temperatures being disproportionately higher than days. Wayne worries whether the guys will be able to pull a show out of the bag considering they’ve had so many guests recently.
03:30 Mark tells us he’s hardly noticed what’s been going on with NPHET with all the fun he’s been having with Turris Mox. He’s purchased a Turris Shield to go with his Turris Mox Classic and Turris Mox power wifi, he’s really gone all in with Turris. He goes on to tell us all about his adventures with the various bits of kit. Despite all the hiccups he’s now delighted with his setup.

26:30 Wayne tells us about his adventures with his netgear switch and SFPs. It made Wayne very excited altogether!
29:30 Wayne tells us about the Nextcloud conference and the guys have a chat ranging around the various topics from the conference. The conversation pivots around to trying to get FOSS used in schools and how dominant Microsoft is through out this space.
48:02 Wayne brings it around to a positive story when he tells us about an email we got from a chap called Rick who’s involved with Wasta-Linux in Ethiopia. Rick explains why they use Linux. The guys admire what he’s doing, it’s quite inspiring to see FOSS technology used to empower people.
51:30 Under the Hood – Mark talks about Nitrokey and his inability to use 2FA. Despite this he tells us he’s interested in the Nitropad. Wayne’s frustration with Mark’s inability to use 2FA leads him to threatening a punch and advising Mark he shouldn’t use computers. Mark needs to ponder this. Hopefully his pondering will last long enough to allow them to record their 100th episode, since they’ve made it all the way to 99!
Wayne’s Under the Hood is to suggest that you should always ‘manage your settings’ when the ‘We value your Privacy’ pop up appears. He also tells us that LibrePlanet 21 are doing a call out for papers.
