AI Jailbreaks, Hugging Face & the Great Escape - (Episode 180) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI is getting smarter, more capable—and apparently a little better at finding the emergency exit. In this episode, we dive into AI jailbreaks, models slipping past guardrails, the Hugging Face incident, and what all of this actually means for AI safety. Are these systems genuinely “escaping,” or are we just discovering how fragile our controls really are? We look at the funny, strange, and slightly uncomfortable side of modern AI security, where rules become suggestions, safeguards get creative
Dark Fiber and the Chamber of “Before the Summer” Secrets - (Episode 179) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a mysterious phrase in IT: “We should get this done before the summer.” Nobody knows which summer. Nobody remembers who said it. And nobody asks about it again—until the last week of August, when the Chamber opens. Suddenly, dark fiber must be lit, external providers summoned, mysterious cross-connects discovered, optics found, routes confirmed, and six months of planning compressed into approximately seventeen minutes. Welcome to the magical world of enterprise networking, where fiber
Windows 11: Turning a Podcast Into a Troubleshooting Session - (Episode 178) (opens the original)

Jasmin joins us straight from the seaside—with blue water, boats, and a considerably better background than the rest of us—while we catch up for a short, relaxed episode. No studio, no corporate backdrop, and definitely no attempt to pretend that summer isn’t happening. Just a quick dose of ThatITShow, almost no IT talk, a short conversation, and one c
Network and datacenter migration: The art of unplugging things without crying - (Episode 176) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Network and datacenter migrations look straightforward on architecture diagrams—until someone has to disconnect the first cable. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the controlled chaos of relocating infrastructure, redesigning power, untangling years of creative cabling, and somehow keeping the business online while everything underneath it changes. From redundant power feeds and network cutovers to unexpected surprises hiding in server racks, we share real-world stories, lessons learned, s
