That IT show

Jasmin went to a ham radio fair in Germany and returned with stories of antennas, radios, transceivers, cables, connectors, frequencies, and other objects that apparently deserve emotional attachment. In this episode, he bravely explains the mysteries of amateur radio while the rest of us pretend to understand, nod politely, and slowly lose the will to ask follow-up questions. Expect passion, tech...

We'll keep it short this time - in this shorter episode (35 degrees while recording), Jasmin rambles about electronics and his small gadgets... a bit.

NVIDIA calls it the RTX Spark. Some call it a portable AI supercomputer. We call it a perfectly reasonable excuse to spend an hour wandering through completely unrelated topics. In this episode, we take a look at one of the most powerful AI-focused laptops currently available, discuss what it can actually do, and ask the important question: does anyone really need this much computing power on thei...

Today’s episode is dedicated to one of the greatest technological achievements of the modern era: running an AI model on a CPU because GPUs now cost approximately the same as a midsize apartment in Zagreb. We discuss the breathtaking experience of waiting 14 minutes for a response that confidently explains facts that never existed, cites imaginary research papers, and occasionally forgets what yea...

Welcome to The datacenter will be ready right after the roundabout, the only podcast brave enough to ask the important questions: can a hyperscale datacenter survive Croatian paperwork, three ministries, two environmental studies, and a mayor who still thinks “cloud” means rain? In this episode, we dive into the glorious collision of AI ambitions, megawatt fantasies, land permits, power grid reali...

Somewhere along the way, “learning virtualization” turned into running a miniature Fortune 500 datacenter next to the washing machine. In this episode, we dive head-first into the glorious madness of over-engineered home labs: redundant power supplies for one user, Kubernetes clusters hosting absolutely nothing important, backup strategies more detailed than our retirement plans, and the eternal j...

At some point, podcasts stopped being special and became background radiation. Every celebrity has one, every startup founder has three, and somehow every conversation now needs microphones, RGB lighting, and a “don’t forget to like and subscribe.” So naturally, we decided to contribute to the problem. In this episode, we spiral through podcast fatigue, algorithm-driven content sludge, endless “th...

Welcome to The One Where Linux and AI Were Ready, but Jasmin Was Not — a title that, honestly, wrote itself. The plan was simple: brand-new shiny Linux machine, proper setup, and finally an episode recorded exactly as promised. Linux was ready. AI was ready. The hardware was ready. Confidence was also very ready. And yet, somehow, the actual recording part remained a distant dream. So naturally, w...

Welcome to Hallucinations, Hype, and Other AI Headaches — an episode about what starts to happen when artificial intelligence stops being just a tool and starts acting like a mirror, a therapist, a hype man, and sometimes a really confident idiot. We’ll talk about why AI people get uneasy when chatbots become too agreeable, too persuasive, too human-like, or simply too embedded in everyday life. F...

A simple packaging mistake exposes thousands of lines of internal AI code—and within days, it’s already being used as a malware lure. At the same time, a new model emerges that can reportedly discover zero-day vulnerabilities across operating systems and browsers, raising a serious question: are we building tools that are too powerful to release? In this episode, we break down the Claude Code leak...

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the beautifully chaotic world of modern tech, where nothing quite works the way it should—and somehow, that’s the theme. We start with Windows 11 and its ongoing talent for turning simple multimedia tasks into unsolved mysteries, then spiral into the usual driver-related frustrations that every IT professional knows all too well. Along the way, we touch on t...

AI just made a quiet but massive shift. One of the most impressive generative AI tools ever released is being shut down as it rethinks its approach to commerce. At the same time, enterprises are doubling down on sovereign AI, agentic systems, and context-aware intelligence. This isn’t random—it’s a reset. The industry is moving away from flashy, expensive demos toward systems that are controllable...

In today’s tech landscape, the middle is disappearing. Products are either premium, high-performance, and expensive—or free, open, and “good enough.” From hardware to software, customers are no longer interested in compromise. This episode explores the rise of the barbell economy and why “average” has become obsolete. We dive into how companies that once dominated the middle—like Microsoft—are str...

AI has officially escaped the lab—and now it’s everywhere. But instead of repeating the usual stories about chatbots and image generators, we decided to run our own experiments. What happens when you throw AI at real problems, weird ideas, or everyday tasks nobody thought about automating before? In this episode, we walk through a collection of unusual, sometimes surprising, and occasionally sligh...

In a world preoccupied with productivity, optimization, and efficiency, hobbies often seem like a luxury or even a waste of time. But what if that’s exactly the point? In this episode, we talk about the strange, wonderful importance of doing things that don’t scale, don’t pay, and don’t necessarily make sense. Hobbies, whether they involve building model airplanes, learning guitar riffs from the 8...

Artificial intelligence is no longer a polished lab experiment — it’s a frontier town. In this episode, we dive into OpenClaw and what it represents in today’s rapidly shifting AI landscape: open models, decentralized power, GPU-driven innovation, and a race where regulation struggles to keep up. From open-source disruption to model autonomy, from enterprise control to digital anarchy, we explore...

We’ve all seen it. The legendary documentation. The sacred diagrams. The “fully updated” runbooks. They absolutely exist — until the moment you actually need them. Then suddenly they’re archived, outdated, in someone’s inbox from 2017, or living exclusively inside the brain of the one engineer currently on vacation. In this episode, we open the box and observe the quantum state of IT documentation...

For decades, robots.txt quietly told search engines where they were welcome and where they weren’t. Then AI showed up, read everything anyway, and called it “training.” Enter ai.txt — the hypothetical line in the sand where a website politely, clearly, and possibly angrily says: no scraping, no learning, no digital photocopying of my soul. In this episode, we explore whether consent still matters...

Once upon a time, audio quality mattered. We argued about sound cards, speaker placement, bitrates, and whether MP3s were ruining music forever. Fast forward to today: laptops whisper, Bluetooth drops packets, compression is everywhere—and nobody seems to care. Or do they? In this episode, we explore how “good enough” became the global audio standard, why convenience beat fidelity, and how compute...

Once upon a time, privacy meant closing a door, lowering your voice, or simply being left alone. Today, it means scrolling through settings, declining cookies for the fifth time, and hoping nobody is listening — while fully assuming someone is. We still talk about privacy as if it’s alive and well, protected by checkboxes, policies, and reassuring icons, even as our phones, homes, cars, and workpl...

There was a time when a photo or a video meant something simple: this actually happened. Today, that assumption is quietly falling apart. We’re entering an era where reality can be generated, faces can be borrowed, voices can be cloned, and events can be convincingly fabricated in minutes. Not as science fiction, not as satire—but as everyday tooling. This episode isn’t about panic or moral grands...

Working from home was supposed to give us freedom—flexibility, focus, maybe even lunch that doesn’t come from a vending machine. Instead, many of us unlocked a new achievement: being in three places at once and still disappointing everyone. One meeting overlaps another, a “quick call” eats an hour, and suddenly you’re nodding thoughtfully on mute while answering emails, Slack messages, and existen...

Most companies didn’t rethink their cloud strategy because of one dramatic failure. It started quietly: cloud bills that became harder to explain, contracts that felt less flexible, and data that suddenly came with legal and regulatory strings attached. Over time, those details added up. In 2025, enterprises began shifting from cloud-first optimism to control-first design. Hybrid stopped being a c...

Over the last three years, technology didn’t just move fast—it aged. AI went from a clever party trick to a fully employed adult with deadlines, responsibilities, and an alarming appetite for GPUs. Datacenters followed suit, transforming into glowing furnaces where power meters spin like slot machines and cooling became a first-class workload. Meanwhile, quantum computing is still “very promising,...

When we started this podcast, AI was a quirky sidekick—good for autocomplete, bad at facts, and mostly harmless. Fast-forward three years and suddenly it’s writing code, composing music, summarizing our thoughts before we finish them, and politely asking whether it should schedule the meeting instead. In this episode, we look back at how ChatGPT and other AI tools evolved alongside our podcast—fro...
