All immediately following Internet Archive's massive court loss which could destroy them as an organization. And that's just for starters.

Something smells very, very wrong. Did the Internet Archive allow themselves to be hacked? Or... did they actually hack themselves? That's crazy... right? It's not as crazy as it might seem.

The nerdy questions asked in today's nerdy show:

How many times over the years have you said to yourself. "Wouldn't it be cool to have a retro gaming cabinet with MAME and a whole bunch of emulators, I can play any game I like on" only to never actually get around to doing the hard work to build a cabinet, set up the software, hardware, input controls etc?

What do you think of Nextcloud and other self-hosted cloud options?

Regarding the wave of hyper-political malevolence making its way through tech over the last 3 years (much of which, you've reported on), having done quite a bit of research and reporting on it, do you have an assessment as to its nature/origin? Do you think it's a fad (albeit a lengthy one)? Or, do you think this is something more endemic, and perhaps permanent?

What are some of your favorite software applications on any platform?

What is a solid laptop and OS choice for a pro videographer that I won't feel gross for using?

Which is the most evil between Snap, Flatpak and AppImage?

The elephant in the tech room is that Windows 10 goes EOL next year. And we all know how windows 11 adoption seems to be going. Considering we seem to have 3 choices: Win 10, switching to Win 11, or switching to Linux. What do you think we will be seeing come this time next year?

For you, how important is the lack of wokeness of a software's company/developers when deciding whether to use it or not? For me it's somewhat important but other factors such as viable alternatives and privacy concerns matter to me as well.

What's the best homebrew console of all time? Most of them do emulation only, but others also have own game SDK

dbase, Clipper or Foxpro?

What is the first Unix (or Unix-like) OS you used at a job? Impressions? Comparisons to systems you use today?

Out of modern hardware, what hardware are you most interested in and why?

With so many projects hell bent on self destruction of one kind or another, what projects are taking steps to protect themselves from hostile take overs? Or what new projects will replace the staples that have started down objectively bad paths (Debian comes to mind as the most recent example)?

Considering you've been banned from numerous Mastodon servers at this point, what's your opinion of NOSTR?

The core Mozilla business has shifted from Firefox and search engines... to AI, user tracking, and advertising. All while pretending to fight against the evils of "cookies" and "paywalls".

The Open Source Godot Game Engine enacted a mass banning for political reasons. Redot is a "non-political" fork. Let's find out their plan in their Twitter / X space they held to launch the project. The Lunduke Journal was there with lots of questions (jump to the 39 minute mark for the Q & A).

Questions touch on a wide variety of topics, including: Being seen as a "political protest project", preventing a "woke take over" as happened with Godot, feature goals, keeping momentum after the initial excitement dies down, and more.
