What happens when cybersecurity meets artificial intelligence? In this episode, we dive into the wild world of PHP vulnerabilities, security mishaps, and the growing power of AI to reshape how we protect our systems. From generating surprisingly sophisticated Bash and PowerShell scripts to identifying weaknesses and automating defenses, AI is quickly becoming the ultimate IT sidekick. But can it actually make our digital world safer, or are we just giving hackers better tools? Join us as we explore the bugs, breakthroughs, and occasional absurdities of modern cybersecurity, and ask whether AI might finally help us stay one step ahead of the threats.

AI is moving fast enough that even a Windows update can feel like a technological time machine. In this episode, we take a look at Microsoft’s latest and greatest moves in artificial intelligence—from Copilot and AI agents to cloud services, productivity tools, security, development, and the growing role of automation across the Microsoft ecosystem. What is genuinely useful, what is mostly hype, and what could fundamentally change the way we work with technology? We cut through the buzzwords, explore where Microsoft is heading, and ask the obvious question: what exactly happened while we were waiting for Windows to finish updating?

What happens when you throw servers, datacenters, 40G Ethernet, and artificial intelligence into the same conversation? Things get hot, fast, and occasionally ridiculous! In this episode, we dive into the hardware that powers our digital world, explore the evolution of high-speed networking, and discuss why AI is making datacenters sweat more than ever. From massive server racks and bandwidth bottlenecks to power-hungry GPUs and the never-ending race for performance, we connect the dots between yesterday's infrastructure and tomorrow's intelligent machines. Expect technical insights, geeky humor, a healthy dose of nostalgia, and plenty of reasons why the cloud is, after all, just someone else's computer.

AI is everywhere. In your software, your browser, your phone, your car, your toaster, your strategy deck, and probably in the meeting where someone suggested adding more AI. In this episode, we talk about AI, then use AI to explain AI, while discussing how everyone else is also using AI to build more AI. Somewhere between genuine breakthroughs, questionable marketing, hallucinations, automation, hype, fear, and very expensive GPUs, we try to figure out what actually matters. Is AI transforming everything, or have we simply reached the point where putting “AI-powered” on a product is the new “cloud-enabled”? Welcome to We Put AI in Your AI So You Can AI While You AI—an episode with an entirely unreasonable amount of AI.

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 interpretations, and researchers keep learning just how unpredictable powerful models can be. Welcome to AI Jailbreaks, Hugging Face & the Great Escape.

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 is dark, deadlines are darker, and apparently EVERYTHING was supposed to be finished “before the summer.” Grab your wand. We’re going in.

Recording a podcast should be simple. Two microphones, two people, one conversation. Unless, of course, Windows 11 is involved. In this episode, what was supposed to be a perfectly normal recording session turns into three attempts, unexpected troubleshooting, increasingly creative vocabulary, and a practical demonstration of why operating systems sometimes deserve their own swear jar. Jasmin’s Windows 11 machine, naturally, works SUPERBLY™ — provided your definition of “superbly” includes making us record the same podcast three times. Somewhere along the way, Linux enters the conversation, Windows gets the appreciation it richly deserves, and an episode about technology becomes an episode about surviving technology. Welcome to modern computing.

Sun, sea, boats… and IT. In this special summer edition of ThatITShow, we prove that technology doesn’t stop just because someone is on vacation. 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 co-host who clearly understood the assignment when it came to choosing his remote-work location. Grab a coffee, a cold drink, or whatever suits your summer mood, and join us for a few minutes of technology with an Adriatic view.

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, spectacular near misses, and the occasional questionable decision that somehow worked. Whether you're planning a migration or simply enjoy hearing about large-scale IT projects flirting with disaster, join us for a technical, honest, and humorous look at the art of unplugging things without crying.

Jasmin went to a ham radio fair in Germany and returned with stories of antennas, radios, transceivers, cables, connectors, frequencies, and other objects that apparently deserve emotional attachment. In this episode, he bravely explains the mysteries of amateur radio while the rest of us pretend to understand, nod politely, and slowly lose the will to ask follow-up questions. Expect passion, technical details, questionable excitement about hardware, and enough antenna talk to make 3.5 MHz feel like a lifestyle choice. Somehow, it is informative. Unfortunately, it is also Jasmin.

We'll keep it short this time - in this shorter episode (35 degrees while recording), Jasmin rambles about electronics and his small gadgets... a bit.

NVIDIA calls it the RTX Spark. Some call it a portable AI supercomputer. We call it a perfectly reasonable excuse to spend an hour wandering through completely unrelated topics. In this episode, we take a look at one of the most powerful AI-focused laptops currently available, discuss what it can actually do, and ask the important question: does anyone really need this much computing power on their desk? Along the way, we dive into programming experiments, development workflows, AI tooling, hardware realities, and several detours that absolutely nobody planned for. The result is a classic technology podcast experience: a cutting-edge piece of hardware, a handful of code, a collection of opinions, and a conversation that somehow ends up everywhere except where it started. Fast hardware, questionable focus, and plenty of geeky discussion guaranteed.

Today’s episode is dedicated to one of the greatest technological achievements of the modern era: running an AI model on a CPU because GPUs now cost approximately the same as a midsize apartment in Zagreb. We discuss the breathtaking experience of waiting 14 minutes for a response that confidently explains facts that never existed, cites imaginary research papers, and occasionally forgets what year it is. Naturally, this leads us into the philosophical debate of whether an AI that takes half an hour to answer is actually “thinking” or just emotionally processing its own poor life choices. From thermal throttling and swap-file abuse to hallucinations so convincing they deserve political office, this episode is a beautiful monument to patience, bad decisions, and the unstoppable human urge to run enterprise AI on hardware rescued from a student lab.

Welcome to The datacenter will be ready right after the roundabout, the only podcast brave enough to ask the important questions: can a hyperscale datacenter survive Croatian paperwork, three ministries, two environmental studies, and a mayor who still thinks “cloud” means rain? In this episode, we dive into the glorious collision of AI ambitions, megawatt fantasies, land permits, power grid realities, and the sacred regional tradition of discussing infrastructure projects for roughly twelve years before pouring a single cubic meter of concrete. We talk cooling, fiber, geopolitics, NIMBYism, diesel generators the size of apartment buildings, and the magical belief that “digital transformation” somehow works without electricity. The future is here — just as soon as somebody finishes the access road.

Somewhere along the way, “learning virtualization” turned into running a miniature Fortune 500 datacenter next to the washing machine. In this episode, we dive head-first into the glorious madness of over-engineered home labs: redundant power supplies for one user, Kubernetes clusters hosting absolutely nothing important, backup strategies more detailed than our retirement plans, and the eternal justification that “it’s for learning.” We talk about the slippery slope from a single Raspberry Pi to racks full of servers screaming through the night, why every homelabber eventually discovers VLANs at 2 AM, and how disaster recovery suddenly becomes deeply personal when Plex goes offline. If you’ve ever convinced yourself that a 100-gigabit upgrade was “necessary,” this episode may feel uncomfortably familiar.
