Oxide's "On the Metal" podcast is an incredibly fun deep dive into technical issues no one should have to deal with as told by people who lived them. "Deep" as in: software DRAM drivers, Ring -1 security, bespoke motherboard designs... I only wish there were more episodes.

I just noticed they have a second podcast. I'll assume it's just as good.

- LoganDark 3y agoAre these available in text or article format?
- gorkish 3y agoO+F is posted to youtube, I get the auto-generated transcript from there. It's unscripted/unstructured, so if you are primarily wanting to hear discussion of the oxide hardware/software/progress it's pretty difficult to consume as an audio program. This is not a dig on the program at all; I'm glad they are making the time to produce it, and I'd rather they spend their effort getting racks out the door instead of generating marketing hype.
- realitythreek 3y agoI always miss the live Discord call and never realized they were published to YT! Thanks for the notice.
- ahl 3y agoClearly we need to do much more self-promotion!
- helf 3y agoThis sounds like a great listen. Thanks for mentioning it

- usefulcat 3y agoFor that one comment, probably not, but maybe for dozens of previous flagged and/or dead comments
- howinteresting 3y agoOnce you're shadowbanned your comments start off as dead by default and have to be vouched to be visible.
- usefulcat 3y agoAh, I wasn't aware of that--thank you for the clarification.
- mburns 3y agolooking at his (recent) comment history, I can’t imagine this is the one in particular that got him shadow banned.
- dang 3y agoWe didn't shadowban them, we told them we were banning them: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34916347 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34916347, we told them why, and it wasn't the reason you've presumed. When people presume things about moderation, they almost always get it wrong. That's a pity because all anyone has to do to get the correct answer is ask us. If you see an account that's banned and you don't think it should be, please let us know at hn@ycombinator.com so we can take a look. We've unbanned quite a few accounts that way. In the meantime, you can vouch for their good comments (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#cvouch https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#cvouch). But please don't divert the thread with offtopic noise that is likely to be incorrect.

- bcantrill 3y agoFor whatever it's worth, I think the reason the doc site was submitted to HN recently is in fact because of our recent episode on the frontend.[0] We have really enjoyed doing Oxide and Friends, and if you're an On the Metal listener, we think you'll find a lot to like!

- rtpg 3y agoOxide + Friends is very good. It's very motivating to listen to and gets me excited to try and build new things. Way more positive vibes being put out there than a lot of stuff.
