I remember him best for his participation in various round table discussions, including the podbrewers podcast, as well as hpr's own audio bookclub and new year's eve shows. He'll be sorely missed. - Laindir ___ Hpr mailing list Hpr@hackerpublicradio.org

So Fifty's frat brother Randy Hall had let me and the Linuxlugcast group on MeWe know about his passing. He also joined us on the lugcast this past Friday night.

5150 will certainly be missed. I never met him in real life but from talking to him on #oggcastplanet, he just seemed like a genuinely nice person. C:\ On 9/8/19 5:26 PM, honkey Magoo wrote: > So Fifty's frat brother Randy Hall had let me and the Linuxlugcast group on > MeWe know about his passi
