Still been going with multiple shows. I don’t think it was “dropped”, if I recall Chris bought back the rights to his own shows, so he could manage it himself. There was some controversy when the head managers let Joe ressington go, bypassing Chris (as Joe’s Manager). Seemed things got set in motion to go independent after that.

What ever happened to that network? I stopped paying attention when digital ocean dropped them all

Jupiter Broadcasting? Still alive and kicking. Not sure what you mean by digitial ocean, the had merged with Linux Academy, then A Cloud Guru bought LA, then Joe Ressington got shitcanned for using a very british slang in a meeting and seemed like right after that Chris took it back independent and they kept on with LUP, Selfhosted and a couple others I don’t listen to.
Ressington has gone on to make what I think is a very successful Linux podcasting network, Late Night Linux, certainly enjoy their shows. I’ve been a patron of his stuff for several years now, and there’s a good bunch of people hosting those shows these days.

Irish person who swears a lot here (to the point of being reprimanded by US-based HR at work), you’re taking a massive risk saying “cunt” in a professional setting. Getting fired rather than reprimanded seems pretty harsh though.

It’s unfortunate, I’d have an issue too, I have Canadian farmer levels of swearing I don’t even notice myself doing it. And some of the sayings are probably racist as hell but it’s not meant that way, it’s just carryover from the old days.
In the end I think it worked out well for him, but some understanding that not every culture is as uptight and puritanical as America would have been in order.

You missed the part where Chris struggled to continue to get ad revenue in ~2023, so went hard on cryptocurrency.
Mike bought out Coder Radio this year and now it’s independent from JB.

So far it’s been an interview show. I have enjoyed the interviews so far.

Ah, I did not know that, but that’s one of the shows I don’t listen to. I listen to the Changelog shows for much of my dev stuff.

2.5admins is a great show even if you aren’t an admin.

thanks for this bit of history. I had no idea joe was involved with Jupiter previously but it explains how he and Alex seemed to know each other.
I’m glad that Joe’s podcasts are still going. I find Chris and the Jupiter crew insufferable to listen to. the episodes feel like a mix of ads and cryptobegging between brief overly animated bits of content.

They seem to go in spurts on the cryptobullshit. Sometimes you go for months without hearing anything about it, then it’s part of the next 5 LUP shows. I can certainly do without it, and I think he gets emails shitting on him for it and he tones down for a while.
I did walk away from all his shows for a couple years there because he was on and on about how anyone that’s still mad at Microsoft is stupid, and I couldn’t take it. It was like he was on the payroll there for a while.

maybe the reality is somewhere between them marketing things but also being really passionate about something. good observations.

Sorry yeah, Linux academy. Don’t know why I thought it was digital ocean
