TuxJam 112 – Dillo Dally

tuxjam image

Don’t dial 112 but deign to digest our dalliance with Dillo and entertain our engagement with Entroware. Kevie, Dave (aka thelovebug), Andrew and Al are back with another helping of free and open source software peppered with Creative Commons musical goodness.

As ever, we begin with a nose around recent releases on distrowatch.com with a few having a distinctly ARMy aroma.

Dave and Andrew then discuss there experiences with Proteus laptops from the UK company Entroware. Andrew’s laptop was purchased earlier this year and Daves’ a couple of years ago and so the chipset revisions and specs do differ:

Andrew’s Proteus in action with his old Asus Zenbook displaced to the right.

Andrew’s 15″ Proteus £1648.96 including shipping and VAT

  • Processor: Core i7-1360P, 13th Gen 12 cores
  • Memory: 64GB DDR5 4800MT/s
  • Storage: 4TB PCIe NVMe SSD

Daves’s 15″ Proteus

  • Processor: Core i7-1165G7, 11th Gen 4 cores
  • Memory: 32GB
  • Storage: 1TB SSD

Al and Kevie then take a look at venerable no-frills, and somewhat retro Dillo web browser which has had a release after almost a decade of inactivity. Note that the official Dillo website is not dillo.org at present but dillo-browser.github.io for reasons explained here.

We finish with a review of the recent Podcrawl and a round-up of feedback since the last episode.

Creative commons tracks played in this episode include:#

#807 D-Day+80

TuxJam 111 – Making a Meal of IT

tuxjam image

Our quadriga of Al, Andrew, Dave and Kevie begin with their usual round-up of recent releases from distrowatch but then go off-piste from our usual format. There’s no distro review in this episode but we split into two teams to look at the Mealie self-hosted service and the unofficial Android client for it called Mealient. We finish up with a round-up of feedback received since the last episode.

Along with the usual mix of Creative Commons music:
