Episode 1: Let's do this, then.

What we cover

• MacBook Neo

• Huntarr fiasco
• The right way to run Proxmox, LXCs, and docker does not exist
• Vibeslop and AI existential crisis

Welcome to the first episode of the BitFlip Show, a new podcast about self-hosting, Linux, homelabs, and open source technology. Host Alex (formerly of the Self-Hosted podcast and now at Tailscale) is joined by Adam Morales from Lime Technology (Unraid), Stephen (an MSP operator running real-world infrastructure), and Geoff, a lawyer-by-day and passionate Linux homelabber. In this episode, the panel introduces the show, shares how they each got into computing, and dives into Geoff’s journey from building an HTPC NAS to running a fully Linux-powered homelab with Proxmox, Docker, and automation.

The conversation also explores some of the most interesting debates in the self-hosting community right now: running Docker on Proxmox, homelab best practices vs pragmatism, the new MacBook Neo announcement, and the rise of AI “vibe coding.” The hosts break down the recent Huntarr controversy in the self-hosted ecosystem and discuss the risks of AI-generated code, open-source responsibility, and what the future might look like for developers and homelab enthusiasts.

If you're interested in homelabs, Docker, Proxmox, self-hosting apps, Linux infrastructure, and the future of open source, this show is for you. Subscribe for new episodes every two weeks as the BitFlip team explores the tools, debates, and ideas shaping the modern self-hosting community.
