This week we're contemplating an Untitled Ginux Show -- or at least that's the bit, based on the completely vibe-coded Linux replacement we talk about. Then CachyOS has a surprisingly underwhelming benchmark performance, with some details to unpack. OpenEuler keeps the AI hype train running, System76 has an impressive desktop announcement, and it looks like a new Raspberry Pi is finally coming. Floorp is an interesting take on the browser, Omarchy is coming for BSD, and Ubuntu has lots planned for Tenacious T-Rex. For tips, we have kernwatch and filelight for system monitoring, ebook-meta for more library management, and vt-cli for Virus Total access without the browser. The show notes are at https://bit.ly/4sCpoh9 and Happy Halloween!

Host: Jonathan Bennett

Co-Hosts: Rob Campbell, Ken McDonald, and Jeff Massie

In our ongoing quest to develop a moon base, could we possibly utilize the area beneath the surface of the moon in order to make the moon habitable? In this episode of This Week in Space, Tariq Malik and guest host Mike Wall of Space.com talk with Than Putzig of the Planetary Science Institute about a NASA-backed payload bound for the Marius Hills Pit, a roughly 50-meter-wide opening that may lead into a lunar lava tube to gather more data about these formations on the Moon and the possibility of these lunar caves becoming the Moon's first living habitats for humans. Putzig explains how geophysical instruments on a rover could detect hidden voids beneath the surface and measure the size of these lava tubes. We also ask Than how these lava tubes form, what a follow-up robotic explorer could reveal, and how this research fits alongside NASA's Artemis plans for a south polar moon base. Join us!

Amazon unveiled a new Echo device lineup. Proton's AI manifesto. Understanding the PHP2Shell flaws, and Apple unveiled its first-ever touchscreen MacBook Pro!

Mikah looks at Amazon's new Echo lineup the company unveiled earlier this week, including the Echo Show 16, Echo Studio, and Amazon's first digital photo frame.

404 Media's Joseph Cox joins the show to discuss his reporting on Proton's aggressive AI push, including employee re-interviews about AI use and a CEO who called pen-testing concerns "loser thinking."

TechCrunch's Zack Whittaker talks about the recent PHP2Shell critical vulnerability that was discovered last week and how the coordinated patch rollout largely held, why a mass-hacking wave seems to have been avoided, and why millions of sites may still be vulnerable.

And D. Griffin Jones breaks down Apple's announcements of new hardware this past week, including the first touchscreen MacBook Pro and a new iPad mini.

Guests: Joseph Cox, Zack Whittaker, and D. Griffin Jones
