Al, Andrew, Dave and Kevie come together again to find their way through some FOSS pickings sprinkled with creative common tunes. They start as always with a round-up of recent releases found on distrowatch.com.
Dave and Al have taken a look at cluster of tools named after burrowing animals – Pangolin, Gerbil, Badger and Newt – which provides solutions for tunneling, reverse proxies and authentication. The collective noun for such things is, apparently, a fossorial 🙂
Going from the complex to the simple, at least for the end-user, Kevie and Andrew try out Deku SMS which describes itself as “proof-of-concept for secure SMS messaging, SMS image transmission and SMS-Cloud communications”.
Podcrawl Easter 2025 will be on Saturday 18 April 2025 from 5pm UTC (UK time). All our welcome with details of how to join being available here.

Regarding Deku, I must admit to being a poor American Geek using Google Messages for SMS, MMS, and RCS.
