This week, we start by talking about the Raspberry Pi memory price increases and bemoan that it's a tough time to be an enthusiast. Then we help ourselves feel better by covering all the new Betas and releases of our favorite software. There's a new LibreOffice, a look ahead at GIMP 3.2, and the Krita 6 Beta. Toyota has announced Flourite, a new game engine written in Flutter and Dart. And Ardour 9 and Shotcut 26.1 are out. We talk Debian, and spend some time looking at how AI has changed the Open Source landscape. For tips, there's another look at systemd-analyze and then a quick intro to gpioget for reading gpio lines. You can find the show notes at https://bit.ly/4r3PmZn and have a great week!

It is widely accepted that over time, humanity will need to expand its presence into the solar system. What are the challenges? Well, space and our nearby worlds have proved to be a much greater challenge than we had long thought. While the rigors of zero-g have been well researched on the International Space Station, the challenges of living in lower gravity, such as that found on the moon and Mars, has not yet been explored. And human reproduction in space, along with genetic challenges, is a complete unknown. Rice Univeristy professor and researcher Scott Solomon joins us to explore these topics in depth, and to posit possible solutions.
