The recent criticism of Linus Tech Tips, explained
I find some of the stuff they do entertaining, but have always found the technical information pretty… lacking and sometimes outright wrong. Seldom do they focus on what an item is engineered to do and instead just slap something together for content.
The billet labs stuff doesn’t surprise me for those reasons, but i feel like the GN focus on it just brings their incompetence to the forefront and made what I already suspected that much more visible.
I’m sure there are plenty of great people that work at LMG, but this ain’t about people at an individual level. It’s about a company that is literally built to sell you stuff. Whether it’s through sponsor spots, float plane(services), or through their own store. I’ve always felt their message was high and mighty and rang a bit hollow.
For their sake, hopefully they actually improve on the technical aspects and are able to endure not because I care about them, but because I don’t think this will actually mean anything once the drama is gone.
I’m sad about the Madison stuff, not because I care about LTT, but because working in that type of environment and watching your “heroes” not only implode but actively harm you has to be one of the worst experiences I can imagine.
My heart goes out to her.

Fellow self-hosters of Lemmy, what is your domain name?
I stood up an instance on linode for myself and a couple friends.
We’re lolimbeer.com !
Which is based on an old meme that I still find hilarious.
But, then I got a registration application that was excited about “lolis & beer”.
I still like the domain and I’ve had it sitting around for a minute, but i never really thought about it or read it that way before.

I don’t think that’s much of a choice.

well ain't this something
Today was the day I started riding my bicycle to work too!
Part of the way is a small trail and I was in it when it started coming down hard. Most of the mud shook off once I was back on pavement.
I’m a bit drenched and muddy. Totally worth it.

I don’t think you deserved to be downvoted.
I think you just might have misunderstood what I was saying, which is fair because I have little context.
I just meant that the criticism isn’t levied at the individuals, but at a company that’s pushing content out to sell you things.
So, while I’m sure in many of these contexts an individual shared partial responsibility, the criticism is leveraged against the company as a whole in this circumstance since I’m not going to pretend to understand what’s going on internally.
Appreciate the comment!

That’s completely fair.
GN might be on a different level and can be a bit dry, so I can understand the appeal of the LTT videos.
I think you’re right with the “decline” since it doesn’t appear as though they consistently research the stuff at hand.

I haven’t looked into the orange pi yet! But, I’ll take a peek and see what it has to offer and if openwrt has support for it.
Thanks, cyberic! I appreciate it.

That’s freakin’ awesome.

That is just SO doap.
The 510 is one of my all time favorite cars ever.
And the 510 with that front end and that bad ass wide body kit? Absolute perfection.
SR20DET is just the icing on the cake. Usually you see those KA’s in the 510s, which are great engines and perfect upgrade for auto crossing and stuff. That SR20DET just turns it into another beast.
Friggin’ blows having the painter ruin all your hard work. You can tell from those shots a lot of care went into it.
Badass build. Y’all should be proud.
