Believe it or not, there's more discussion about ZFS in this episode. (Klaatu has, oddly, completely forgotten that he's actually running ZFS on OpenIndiana, and has been for months; more on this next month).

Linux has lots of creative apps, but how do they all fit together? That's obviously a big question with lots of different answers, but in this episode, Klaatu provides a real world example of the different applications involved in publishing a tabletop card game. shasum -a256=681a8b46dbae5114743e774ae79ad6b6805a1863584a0e97cec005e1e856e087

Some tips about gamepads on Linux, plus an overview of Antimicro. Also, Microsoft joins the Open Invention Network and brings its 60,000 patents along with it. Could this mean fancy things like native NTFS and exFAT support? the end of patent trolling? Klaatu speculates. shasum -a256=c541fdba7b86b46c20c2fbf7583b22250e6e1637632e137a596435a161d26184
