Oxide builds servers as they should be [audio]

Twitter spaces are awful however and are also not easily recorded and can't be used easily on any device. (You need to go to some kind of youtube link from one of the participants to listen to a recording.) Also their twitter talks are more unfocused rants by the participants with little focus. So it's hard to listen to. I'm sure it's more fun for the participants, but not so much for the listeners. You also lose the comfort of consistency of participants.

Some of them have even been delving into some of the participants personal politics as well which is just something I'm not interested in hearing.

We've turned it into a podcast as well, so you should be able to enjoy it wherever you consume podcasts.[0]

While there may be some unfocused rants in there (sorry, I guess?), there's also a lot of extraordinary technical content -- certainly, if anyone else has described their board bringup experiences in as explicit technical detail as we have in [1] and [2], I would love to be pointed to it!

Thanks for the link for a podcast version. That's helpful. I did listen to those two talks earlier and those were probably the most interesting. I did dislike that there seemed to be a constant process of interrupting each other in the middle of someone telling a story so the story became quite fragmented as it took some time to come back to the topic (or the topic was forgotten entirely and never elaborated on after the interruption).

Another thing that ended up being frustrating is repeated references to some image and I had to pause and go digging through people's personal twitter accounts to try and find the image that was being talked about. There seemed to be an assumption that the listener follows all employees personal twitter accounts.

There's also audio quality issues in general as it's not nearly as good a quality of media equipment as was used for the original on the metal podcast. (Maybe it's similarly cheap equipment, but it was better quality before regardless.)

I love those little interruptions. Like when a guest is speaking on a topic and they bring up a name or company of the past. And that segues into another bit of SV lore.

If you haven't already: Maybe an "episode" directing listeners to the new stuff?

The audio quality seemed a bit rough on the few I checked out, but I'll try again.

The Oxide Twitter spaces are recorded and distributed as a podcast [1]. If you're not a fan of the content it won't help but it's at least more convenient to consume than through Twitter.
