Linux Prepper Podcast

About This Podcast

Linux Prepper podcast explores self-hosting, FOSS tools, and good-natured DIY resilience.

This static fallback exists so the podcast skeleton endures, even when Castopod is offline.

Audio failover from IPFS to be added along with usual podcast feed (RSS).
