Reviews TCP over carrier pidgin

in Apple Podcasts by Welsh1lad from United Kingdom on
February 28, 2020 


 


The show continues to improve , even more so since the host has
joined red hat and we are now getting more hosts on the show than
before. Sysadmin is a good place to listen to real world news and
issues that are brought up in the news slot. The two hosts bounce
off each other pretty well and seem very clued up on the subjects
that they bring up. It’s a good show. Keep up good work
