Hello,

I just submitted a link so that I could listen to your live radio stream on my internet radio (a Grace wifi internet radio). Many internet radios use reciva.com to manage their list of stations, so you might want to plug it a bit on your shows, and you should see some new listeners.

I used the title “Jupiter Broadcasting Live Stream” and used the url https://jbradio.out.airtime.pro:8000/jbradio_a

If you want to change the name or url I suppose you could contact them. I was surprised it wasn’t there already.

Take care

Hay Chris,

I watched Linux Unplugged yesterday and I am just as furious as you are about their “Steam Box.” So I quickly made this desktop wallpaper up. I call it die alien. I would like to know what you think of it.

Hello,

I am a supporter of the Unfilter show via Patreon. Is there an RSS feed available for the Supporters Show?

Love the show.

Chris and Ange,
Listening to your BBQ talk did make me hungry!. When you were talking about the tablets that start your coals, you said they are better than lighter fluid as they don’t use nasty chemicals. They are usually made from Hexamine (or similar) that burns hot without leaving an odor or residue.
My personal preference is to use “newspaper bon-bons”. You take a sheet of news paper and gather it up along one side so you end up with a ‘band’ and then tie it in a knot. It now looks kind of like a bon-bon. putting several of these under your coals makes good kindling that is easy to light and the knots nake hot spots that help get your coals going. This is a good, cheap and easy way to start any fire since most people have some newspaper lying around somewhere!

I managed to find a website that kind of depicts what I mean: https://www.woodheat.org/newspaper.html

Hey Chris,

I just wanted to share my Ting success story. I got a Netgear mobile hotspot a few months back and I’ve only used it a little here and there, but it’s saved my sanity this week. I started noticing about 10% packet loss on my home cable connection last Friday. After doing the modem reboot dance with Time Warner, they scheduled a tech to come out, but the first available appointment wasn’t until this Friday!

I do almost all of my work over SSH connections and frequently work from home. If you’ve ever dealt with SSH over a spotty connection, you know the random lagging and slow screen redraws get to be as annoying as the sound of a mosquito in your ear. I hate going into the office, but I almost sucked it up and went in, but I remembered I had the hotspot and was able to keep my lazy butt at home.

So far, Ting’s LTE service has been rock solid. I can barely tell a difference between it and the cable connection in my typical day-to-day usage. I really couldn’t be more pleased with them. Thanks a ton for turning me on to them!

Cheers!

Daniel

P.S. I almost rolled out Mosh, but it won’t work with the way my network is setup. This was the perfect use-case, too.

When you mention DigitalOcean, please talk about the community site.
There are so much good stuff inn there related to hosting setups, they even have docker tutorials now.

Hey I emailed Chris about 2 weeks ago about spreading the word on a weekly watch party im setting up for LAS. I have a local restaurant that is willing to let us commandeer their tv’s to watch the show live.

It would be in Saint Petersburg FL and we need a minimum of 10 people. I setup an email address for people to RSVP. LAS@ryancarter.info

Thanks for the Great Shows!

Hello I just want to say that I love the work you all do and I love several of your shows. If I could I would love to help in some way other than donations (due to personal financial issues). I was also curious as someone trying to start a career in IT specifically Linux I was wondering what type of suggestions you might make. Currently I am a computer repair technician and sales consultant at a retail store in the US and I want to leave the sales environment.

Someone writes:

Hi,

Do you still check your bitmessage account ?
Or is there another secure way of communicating ?

Please reference to this in the show please.

Ran across this just a little bit ago, by Nixie Pixel:
https://youtu.be/0zJftAnrSNc

Thought hit me. She’s looking for a new way, you’re looking to add content, so maybe this is something that could work for both. She creates content, you provide the air time and space.
She already has a following, more eyes being brought to Jupiterbroadcasting. She can create her own content, which frees you from having to do it all. Don’t know if it’s something you’re looking for Chris, but knowing the following she has I thought it might be sort of a match made in heaven.
Just passing along an idea.

Hello,
I was looking at your Roku app and I was wondering how you were able to pull your RSS feed into the app? An help would be great. Thanks

Craig worried about the forums writes:

Hello Chris, I do not see the confirmation number to register at the bottom of the forums registration page, i\’d like to register to inquire about a way to download the earlier episodes of TechSnap due to the issue with the download links, i\’ve been missing the newer episodes and if there was a work-around or if it was fixed then i am unaware of this, thank you

Craig. – A very techy fan.

Is there a chance you guys would mind mentioning www.GamingOnLinux.com in your next cast?

Christopher writes:

I was wondering if you would make an Opera extension like you do for chrome and Firefox.

Tom writes:

I have been put in charge of the Amazon account for the IT department at my new job and will be putting in the first of many (hopefully) purchases of about $2000 as soon as Finance approves it. I am one of the last Opera users out there but there is no Opera extension so I have to remember to use Chrome/FF for these purchases, any chance you could announce on air and see if there are any Opera devs out there that could tackle this? I\’m around to beta test if needed. Thanks for all you do, I don\’t miss a LAS or TechSNAP.

Hey guys,
I watched your latest FauxShow episode about milk and thought it was great. Thanks for the show! Have you ever looked into Raw / Fresh Goat milk? We raise goats and try to raise them as organic as possible, and have found that Goat milk is much better for you then Cow milk. I haven\’t heard of Hemp mild before, I will have to look into that. Thanks!

Hello Jupiter Broadcasting family!.

This is Hammy! I\’m an IRC addict and a huuge fan of the JB live shows and personalities!. I have been on geekshed for a very longtime. Actually from its birth!. I was there as Allan, Phil and Corey gave birth to this fantastic IRC network! I have been idle at #jubiterbroadcasting for a long time, til maybe 3 months ago.

I want to say you guys are the best on this here IRC network! The content on the different JB live shows are fun and very educational. I have learned alot and actually chris and the linux people in chat are really convincing me to get back to linux, once again. I left linux back in 2007, but i think because of LAS, i want to return to it.

The Fauxshow is not a real show, its a fun and crazy show! I learned so damn much about balls and other things, you couldnt believe it! Its great to see a fun and crazy couple such as yourselves tell us about things we wouldnt really go and research ourselves. I love the atmosphere of the Fauxshow, still getting used to the date change….heck i almost FORGOT there was FAUX tonight! gah!

Keep up the great job you guys. You guys are alot of fun and i shall see your nicks in chat! Go #jb and geekshed!

PS: bunny can i haz bacon?

bye you guys!

Coder Radio

Hi guys!

Straight to the business: I\’ve made a Pomodoro app (I know you like it) in QML and little bit of Python for Ubuntu desktop. Apart from Pomodoro it also has stopwatch and timer functions. And it looks great!

I\’d be more than happy if you could test it and give a mention in the Coder Radio or LAS.

The app name is Zeegaree (I don\’t mind how you pronaunce it). Link to the app: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/zeegaree/

Take care!

Hi. There seems to be a problem downloading the MP3 version of the show. I get a 404 error when it redirects. I\’ve been shaky since Monday because I haven\’t had my LAS fix for the week. Keep up the good work! Jonathan

Evan writes:

Just wanted to say thank you two for the hard work and the extremely informative information that you provide. I recently subscribed to Unfilter due to the price drop you had (poor college student here), but I wanted to show my support for this show because I believe the information that you provide is very valuable. I\’ve been listening to Jupiter Broadcasting for about 6 months or so, and it started with LAS, followed by Coder Radio, and then recently, which is my personal favorite, Unfilter. Keep up the hard work guys!

Benjamin writes: Hi guys.

I saw something today that I wanted to get your thoughts on. I went to a job fair today, and I was surprised that there was not many people there looking for jobs. We keep hearing how the unemployment is up, but then where are all the people looking for jobs? Thanks for the great show guys.
