Summary: Tim, Gordon, and Roy struggle with coughs and connection difficulties and yet manage to produce another episode filled with news and discussion
TODAY'S show covers many topics including the new Linux release, Android, Microsoft's latest departures and failures, and of course Wikileaks. This is the first episode in about a week due to lack of time for the three of us to regroup and record. Our new IRC channel and new official Web site will be announced quite soon. [Update: the show notes are up]

Have fun digging into this :-)

I just noticed the wget error messages are exactly 10 minutes and 4 seconds apart. So look for a 600 second limit in your server settings somewhere.

Thanks. Someone brought it up right after the first few shows and we checked with the host. The main issue we have is the use of Varnish, which overrides some server settings. We'll try sorting this out again using the information you gave.

Excellent, thanks, I hope they find the 600 second bug :-)

Yep, the 600 second limit is still there.
I've now managed to download this ogg-cast over a slightly faster connection (8000kbps in stead of 5000-ish kps) in 9 minutes and 47 seconds: yep, that was a close one :-)

We're setting up a subsite to dodge the issue caused by Varnish timeout settings.

I've always had niggling problems with downloading the audio files from this domain, but retrying a second or third time would sort it.
The download for episode 24 seem to be an exception to this: Firefox can not complete the download, it fails between 19 and 30MB. Also, your server does not seem to support a download restart, i.e. Firefox keeps having to start from scratch. I suspect a bit of tinkering with enabling restarting, or dealing with partial downloads, might save you a lot of bandwidth :-)
I'm just trying with wget, and it's having exactly the same problem: the first download was interrupted at 33MB for some unknown reason, and then it restarts from scratch :-(
I can download reliably from many other sites with much bigger files, so it ain't me :-)
Cheers,
Wim
P.S. I like this show a lot, keep up the good work :-)
IBM basically laid off almost 1,000 people last week [...] At the moment about 75% of the 'articles' we see about IBM (in recent days) are some kind of slop
Very ill-prepared for the deteriorating situation caused by their clients' past behaviour towards many people, including high-profile figures who offered to testify
Last week IBM laid off almost 1,000 people in Confluent and the media didn't write anything about it, so don't expect anyone in what's left of the media to comment on Fedora's demise and silent layoffs at Red Hat
In an age when ~1,000 simultaneous layoffs aren't enough to receive any media coverage, what can we expect remaining publishers to tell us about Microsoft layoffs in 2026?
Is the "era of AI" an era when none of the media will mention over 800 layoffs? [...] There's a lesson here about the state of the contemporary media, not just IBM and bluewashing
