Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if “runk” was real, which I assume not.

Sounds like the open source security podcast. Specifically this episode: https://opensourcesecurity.io/2024/04/01/xz-bonus-spectacular-episode/

Kurt and Josh are great, one of my favourites.
