This week on Linux Out Loud, we're plugging into the source! We kick things off with a look at the wild world of robotics competitions, from the destructive Norwalk Havoc Robot League to updates on our local FLL and FTC teams. Then, we dive into a heated discussion on the great Endianness debate shaking up the RISC-V community and what the 90-10 rule means for kernel support. Plus, we've got updates on a retro 3D printing project, a pro tip for backing up your SSH keys, and a horror story about Nate's poor Commodore 64x.

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.

We’re back from the break and diving headfirst into the chaos! In this episode, Matt drones on (literally) about surveying land with budget-friendly flyers, Nate finds his PIM jam again with Thunderbird, and Wendy wrangles Starlink + T-Mobile into a load-balanced beast. We also chat about AI-driven gaming, 3D-printing Framework laptop armor, and what to do with a growing stack of old Dell laptops. Spoiler: the banter glitches gloriously off-topic, as always.

"Linux is getting boring" — or is it evolving into exactly what we wanted? In this episode, we chat retro consoles, 3D printing beasts, Titan phones, curriculum with Pybricks, and a Linux experience so stable it's suspicious. Plus: Wayland wins, Microsoft Office woes, and Wendy’s robotics laptops ready for battle. Engage!
