Unfortunate news for those of us who have been following this podcast, its been a very entertaining and educational podcast. Unfortunately it ends in three episodes. Here are the podcast details for those who want to hear about it - its at the beginning of the episode.
Self-Hosted: 147: The Problem with Game Streaming
Episode webpage: selfhosted.show/147

Aww, man, I’m conflicted here. On one hand, they seem like good dudes who deserve to eat and whose work I’ve enjoyed for years. On the other, they’re AI enthusiast crypto-bros and that’s just fucking exhausting.
I use to follow them, until I got bored of long stretches of bitcoin and tailscale promotion.
Tailscale deserves it, bitcoin absolutely does not
Selfhosted was their one podcast I still listened to was it wasn’t all crypto and NixOS.
Didn’t perceive the AI enthusiasm as too bad. At least they also covered self hosted LLMs and don’t seem like they fell completely for that hype.
The crypto stuff is difficult to stomach though. More of an issue on their other podcasts though.
Dammit, that’s one of my favorite podcasts.
Support had been dwindling and ad revenue is nearly non-existent for Linux podcasts, so I totally understand why. Still, too bad. I guess I’ll bump my donation to Late Night Linux since I can’t really find another self-hosted podcast that’s worth listening to.
They did mention that Alex will join Linux Unplugged podcast occasionally to talk about self-hosted relevant things, plus they tend to all be talked about their experiences around self-hosted - especially in the bootleg edition.
That’s good to hear. I think self-hosting is one of the strongest use cases for Linux. I am a big self-hoster myself so I am glad to hear he’ll still pop in every now and then and give us the latest news in the space.
I’m general I heard the podcast ecosystem is in a dire state, post covid numbers dropped a lot seemingly.
It’s funny because I used to listen to podcasts way more frequently before covid, but I’ve sorta transitioned to long form videos instead of straight podcasts.
Commute gone down?
I listen a lot because I’m either working where I need ear defenders and so I listen on BT headphones, or I’m in a combine/tractor. I’d be bored AF without podcasts.
I discovered Linux Prepper a week ago. On most of the previous episodes he talks about tools and self hosting, just not exclusively. The last episode was an interview with a nextcloud employee. You have to find the rss feed, because I can’t find it in my app using search.
Eh. I haven’t listened so much lately anyways since Chris started obsessing over Crypto.
It’s mainly Linux Unplugged where that stuff leaks into it. I haven’t heard it on “self hosted” very much.
Yeah I dropped that one entirely.
I’m really going to miss Self-Hosted, it brought a community of us weirdos together. I hope someone fills the vacuum left after ep. 150
Ah just another reminder as I get older and that all good things must come to an end.
Some people hate on them but they didn’t have to make this show. It definitely spurred conversations and projects to be better rather than some corporate overlords saying use our ecosystem.
Definitely gonna miss it and guess I’ll check out Linux unplugged every now and then
That’s a damn shame as it was the only real quality podcast focused on self hosting.
Thanks! I wasn’t even aware of them. I’ll check them out. Too bad they are ending though.
Huh. Didn’t even know about this. Maybe I’ll browse their episode list to see if there are some episodes that are interesting.
You’re in for a treat!
One of the few podcasts I listen to sometimes. Wishing them well and thanks for all of the hard work.

Life rears it’s ugly head again. It happens tho. I myself, have had to scale things back over to where things are more manageable in my declining years. It wasn’t a podcast that I frequented on the regular, but I did enjoy the material presented.
