Last week’s guest, Jacob Cook sticks around for another show. You know what that means, quiz time! Jacob is the Mad Max of the Information Highway, who supports open source and decentralization with his amazing projects. Keep reading or listen for more on our guest from Montreal!

• Chris is inspired by Jacob’s passion for his projects, arkOS and CitizenWeb Project so he asks the tough questions, what’s in Jacob’s future? And, the old man question, what about retirement?

• Fearing the loss of Net Neutrality and crying in his toque, Chris wonders if Jacob has used any of the mesh networks that are popping up. For example, Hyperboria which is part of Project Meshnet.

• By the way, you should probably click that Net Neutrality link above. John Oliver will have you in tears.

• Check out GNU Social or use Quitter to check out a decentralized social network. It’s just as amazing as Twitter. Have a look at Diaspora as well.

• Paul & Jacob geek out about VPS providers, DigitalOcean and Linode.

• The greatest random quiz to date on Montreal Sauce: What do they know about Burt Reynolds’ mustache? Who will win? Paul or Jacob?

• Everyone has a Sean Connery impression.

• All the Burt Reynolds research led to an awful find, Skullduggery.

• The world needs more Dom Deluise. Enjoy some bloopers from Cannonball Run.

• We all fasten on our nerd badges and talk Battlestar Galactica.

• Intel will be selling a 3D printable robot soon.

• We need to have Jacob back on the show in the future so we can talk poutine. Find him at arkOS or on twitter, look for peakwinter.

This episode we chat with Jacob Cook who puts the Montreal in Montreal Sauce as he was actually in the city at the time of the recording. Jacob is the handsome brain behind arkOS and CitizenWeb Project. We talk the importance of open source, crowd funding and Big Brother’s sneaky mistress, Big Data.

• Jacob occasionally uses Tor so obviously he’s under surveillance by the NSA.

• Jacob suggests an open source real-time communications alternative Talky.io, which is based on the open WebRTC.

• Google says Hangouts will only support Chrome. Chris grumbles while Jacob warns it is only the beginning. He cites Google dropping the open XMMP protocol which has affected Chris in Canada land.

• Jacob shares a review on his new Jolla phone.

• The other alternatives are BlackPhone or the Android ROM Replicant.

• We discuss the evolution of developers from Nick Burns computer nerd to savvy designers & entrepreneurs building user friendly software and apps.

• Ease of use trumps privacy concerns every time. Thus, Jacob is working hard to make hosting your own websites, cloud and data very easy with arkOS.

• DRM does not move us forward. Jacob asks why wouldn’t we want the freedom to read an e-book, listen to a song or watch a film on any device? Open source collaboration means the creation of software we can all use regardless of our system.

• Jacob vows to never sell out arkOS as he never wants to take power from the users. Chris imagines Jacob starring in HBO’s Silicon Valley.

• Jacob has a great page called Free the Cloud and Chris asks how Jacob argues against the opposition.

• We all agree, every success is due to hard work. Kids, work hard and some day you can meet David Hasselhoff and have success like Angie Harmon.

• Paul and Jacob talk about Jono Bacon’s The Art of Community and the importance of building a community around an open source project.

• Advice from Jacob & Paul: Less is more, do one thing well and don’t insult people’s intelligence. Be at one with your time traveling hipster.

• Jacob & Chris talk about a recent survey of arkOS users and the idea of an arkOS data center for folks who have a poor internet speeds or are crippled by Comcast or another evil ISP.

• Jacob says arkOS will now have a SyncThing plugin as an alternative to OwnCloud.

• Jacob & Chris contemplate raising more money for arkOS with potato salad.

Montreal Sauce is not recommended by any number out of any other number of doctors.

• Paul and Chris discuss the previous episode with Justin Hall.

• Chris suggests the podcast, Supercharged by Adam Dachis and Len Peralta’s Geek a Week.

• Chris is using Podcast Addict on Android to catch podcasts, which he likes because it has Chromecast support.

• Paul has used Downcast and Castro on the iPhone for podcasts. Not released as of this recording, though, is his new favorite Overcast.

• Paul wants to be at podcast zero, like inbox zero. Thus, he shies away from the Nerdist network because they release new episodes daily!

• Paul is unsure about SoundCloud as he’s worried about losing the rights to his audio. (Though it seems he wouldn’t.) Chris empathizes, which is why he’s never posted his videos on Youtube.

Better yet, you can stay up to date & contribute to his work via the awesome service Patreon. In true Montreal Sauce fashion, we jump into conversation and don’t get around to introducing Justin until 49 minutes into the show. Being an amazing guest, Justin interviews us just as much as we interview him.

• We all quickly agree that we have no idea if the 300 sequel Rise of an Empire is historically accurate, but Wikipedia is the way to find out. Justin encourages us to edit, not just lurk on the free encyclopedia.

• Chris pledges allegiance to After Effects comparing it to a tool rather than service or box of filters like Instagram. Similarly, this week Chris shares that the way we interact with our phones/tablets isn’t necessarily intuitive according to some.

• Justin prefers using Final Cut & Motion for developing The Justin Hall Show.

• We discuss the age of the camera phone and sharing on the Internet. While Chris wonders if some folks are sharing because they’re self-absorbed, Justin rightly points out that “authenticity cannot be measured.” Paul introduces pre-parent Paul’s thoughts on Internet sharing vs. parent Paul’s opinion.

• We all love Helena.

• Though, Orphan Black isn’t a BBC show, Chris still included it in his blog, Why You Should Be Watching Brit TV Shows.

• Tina does foley of the Montreal Sauce splat when we talk Ben Affleck in Daredevil. The only clip that shows the Affleck scene Chris shares is from Cinema Sins. What a lovely coincidence.

• Chris says he was unimpressed with Marvel’s wanna be anime style animated films. Marvel’s Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher and Iron Man: Rise of Technovore.

• Paul & Tina keep attempting to watch Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows.

• Chris has yet to catch up with OITNB, but Tina & Paul just finished the new season of Orange is the New Black.

• Torchwood continues to torture Chris who gets revenge by confusing Mekhi Phifer with Omar Epps.

• Paul sings the chorus of Rockwell’s jam, Somebody’s Watching Me.
