2/2 You may find parts interesting as it is hosted exclusively on IPFS Podcasting and I hand edited the RSS feed. Also pretty sure it was one of the first shows to use V4V music as intros and outros.

210 Came for the Bitcoin, stayed for the FOSS.
There are so many Linux distros that I believe anyone can find the one for them. You can find tiny ones that will run on super old hardware lime Tiny and Puppy. Others like Linux Mint come loaded with Office suites and other useful programs. Once a person dives into Linux I don't think there is any going back.

Great episode guys. Shannon was another great guest. How is it that all Bitcoin Meetup organizers are so articulate. I would imagine they are good looking as well.
Shoutout to the Comox Valley Bitcoin at the Beach meetup. The venue was the beach and it went swimmingly. There were burgers, baked goods, tallow and lard, plants and freeze dried products for sale for BTC. I think it is a beautiful beginning to a Bitcoin market.
