BitFlip is an independent podcast about the pragmatic side of infrastructure. We talk about self-hosting, homelabs, open source, and the real-world decisions engineers make every day — without the enterprise fluff.
The crew breaks down everything new from Framework's big announcement week, Kasm's new Proxmox autoscaler partnership opens up self-hosted VDI for the rest of us, and our thoughts on the pricing of the Steam Controller.
Alex tells a sad tale about releasing the magic smoke from his Minisforum MS-01 and the rabbit hole of high availability, and we discuss the wonders and current state of 3d printing, including the new Bambu X2D and Snapmaker U1.
Stephen shares his road from childhood PC tinkering to running his own MSP, we trace MinIO's slow abandonment of its open source community, and Geoff explains how a new API in his email provider made his SimpleLogin subscription redundant.
We dive deep into Adam's background and his journey to join the Unraid team, talk about headphones and the rabbit hole that is in-ear monitors, discuss the sad decline of the Nvidia Shield, and close out by talking about the drama surrounding Booklore.
