The Networking Showdown | Linux Out Loud 115
This week on Linux Out Loud, the gang gets totally rad as they dial into the mainframe and get down to business! Nate and Bill go head-to-head in a network showdown, discussing the merits of building a custom, open-source network versus the "set it and forget it" convenience of prosumer gear. The team also tackles Nate's Framework Laptop firmware woes, Wendy's "Robot in 7 Days" build, and a deep dive into UPS power monitoring.
