Just taking a minute to share this podcast with y’all. I know it’s already in the sidebar here, but thought Alex & Chris deserve a shout out for their great show.

They talk about the week’s news and their own experiences hosting at home. Listening to them talk tech makes me more confident about my hosting.

    thanks for this bit of history. I had no idea joe was involved with Jupiter previously but it explains how he and Alex seemed to know each other.

    I’m glad that Joe’s podcasts are still going. I find Chris and the Jupiter crew insufferable to listen to. the episodes feel like a mix of ads and cryptobegging between brief overly animated bits of content.

      They seem to go in spurts on the cryptobullshit. Sometimes you go for months without hearing anything about it, then it’s part of the next 5 LUP shows. I can certainly do without it, and I think he gets emails shitting on him for it and he tones down for a while.

      I did walk away from all his shows for a couple years there because he was on and on about how anyone that’s still mad at Microsoft is stupid, and I couldn’t take it. It was like he was on the payroll there for a while.

        maybe the reality is somewhere between them marketing things but also being really passionate about something. good observations.
