460: Ditching Big Tech: The Open Source Startup Survival Guide
About this episode
The episode discusses the journey of running a media company using only Open Source software and provides insights into their technical stack.
Is it actually possible to run a professional media company using nothing but Open Source software? This week on Destination Linux, Jill, Ryan, and Zeb provide a massive update on their Open Source Startup journey. We break down the technical stack keeping Deviant AirWaves running: Infrastructure: How Nextcloud has become our "absolute savior" for RSS, Markdown notes, and document security. Production: The "superb quality" of VDO.Ninja and OBS Studio for remote recording without the monthly fees of closed-source alternatives. Communication: Moving the needle with Signal, KeePassXC, and our brand-new Mumble server. Web & Editing: Why we stick to WordPress and how Kdenlive and Audacity handle our heavy-lift editing. We also take a look at the Orion Web Browser, a WebKit-powered alternative that just hit public Beta on Linux. To wrap things up, we cover Zeb’s Quick-fire News, including a high-severity Snap vulnerability, Linus Torvalds’ thoughts on AI tools in kernel development, and a heartfelt thank you to Martin Wimpress as he seeks new maintainers for Ubuntu MATE.
