[0.00 --> 3.28] Episode 42, the title can mean only one thing.
[3.58 --> 6.24] Yes, it is a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference.
[6.64 --> 8.34] Oh, and I didn't bring my towel.
[8.66 --> 9.62] Oh, well, don't panic.
[10.04 --> 11.04] Hello, people.
[11.42 --> 11.90] Wake up.
[12.10 --> 13.34] Chris and the Badger.
[13.72 --> 14.20] Mornings.
[14.20 --> 15.94] All right, let's go, let's go, let's get up.
[16.06 --> 17.76] Or whenever you happen to listen to it, I guess.
[18.00 --> 19.56] On self-hosted.show.
[20.28 --> 21.52] Oh, we're bringing that back, are we?
[21.62 --> 22.28] Okay, cool.
[23.48 --> 24.52] I'm going in with this.
[24.58 --> 25.34] I love this.
[25.34 --> 25.80] We are.
[26.00 --> 28.90] I think you and I would have a great AM morning show.
[28.90 --> 30.70] We need to lean into that a bit more, yeah.
[30.82 --> 31.16] We do.
[31.46 --> 37.02] We'd be doing the traffic on the 15s, and we'd also be taking people's tech questions and
[37.02 --> 42.24] discussing the news of the day, and we'd have a movie review segment and a TV review segment.
[42.36 --> 49.92] I know you're going to give us a surprise TV review later in the show.
[50.30 --> 50.54] Yeah.
[51.22 --> 54.76] I might have interrupted an interview with an impromptu movie review, yes.
[56.80 --> 58.24] It just makes me laugh.
[58.24 --> 58.98] I love it, Alex.
[59.40 --> 61.28] But, you know, I think we'd have a great morning show.
[61.42 --> 63.36] And we'd have our friends on, right?
[63.44 --> 67.28] Like, we'd call Alan on and we'd give him a hard time about FreeBSD.
[67.60 --> 68.38] That'd be pretty great.
[68.82 --> 69.14] Yes.
[69.64 --> 71.76] That would be rather awkward at the moment, wouldn't it?
[72.00 --> 72.34] Yeah.
[72.52 --> 72.76] Yeah.
[72.76 --> 75.74] We'd ask him if he's got WireGuard set up, so that way we could do it.
[76.00 --> 77.50] We could do it over at WireGuard.
[79.58 --> 82.80] We should put a link in the show notes so people don't know what we're talking about.
[82.80 --> 83.42] Oh, yeah.
[83.52 --> 85.12] Quick too long didn't read.
[85.84 --> 90.52] WireGuard nearly got merged into the BSD kernel and the code was of questionable quality.
[90.78 --> 96.16] So if you have any questions about that, there is a link in the show notes to Jim Salter's Ask Technica breakdown of this.
[96.74 --> 100.26] You will probably come away rather salty with BSD.
[100.58 --> 101.90] Just full warning.
[101.90 --> 103.92] So, yeah, enjoy that.
[104.22 --> 107.68] But in the meantime, I want to say thanks to A Cloud Guru for sponsoring this here episode.
[107.82 --> 111.62] They are the learning in cloud, Linux, and other modern tech skills.
