Analysing MQTT data, getting domains unblocked from Cloudflare DNS, making ASCII animations, and why Joe is drawn to Linux Mint. Plus why we don’t talk about Vivaldi even though it’s quite good, why Félim was wrong about right click in PuTTY, and Will doesn’t seem to understand Lemmy.

There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens when tech enthusiasts get together after hours, and that’s exactly the vibe you’ll find on Late Night Linux. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair with Joe, Félim, Graham, and Will as they dive into the week’s developments, from kernel updates to major shifts in the open source landscape. Their discussions go beyond just the headlines, digging into the implications and trends that actually matter to users and developers. This isn’t a sanitized, corporate overview; it’s a genuine, often unfiltered exchange where strong opinions are welcome, the occasional drink is had, and the language can get a bit colorful. A recurring theme involves giving Félim a hard time about his views on AI and cloud computing, which always adds a layer of playful camaraderie. If you’re looking for a relaxed but insightful take on Linux and the wider tech industry, this podcast delivers that unique blend of expertise and informal banter week after week. It’s the kind of show that makes complex topics accessible and reminds you that the community behind the technology is full of real, opinionated people. The Late Night Linux Family has built something that feels less like a broadcast and more like a regular gathering of friends who just happen to know a tremendous amount about free and open source software. You come for the news and stay for the personality.
