Most of the “tech” youtube world is based around presenting mostly useless consumer products as it was technological advancement.
Most of their SAAS advertisers could be replaced by a “docker compose up”, hardware ones, most of the time are just regular tools with one or two gimmick.
The way to get money advertising on linux is by misleading business people into getting useless enterprise services.
In my experience almost no outage happens because hardware failures. And most outages happen because bad configurations and/or expired certs, which in turn are a symptom of too much complexity.
Is there 🤔? I’ve seen things in production you wouldn’t believe. Rigs from the stone age, a 30+ year old DEC still running their version of UNIX and people saving files on tapes. Why? It’s how it has always been done 🤷. A firewall/router configured back in 2001 (no one’s touched it ever since). An Ubuntu 12.4 install running a black box VM that no one knows what it’s actually for, except that it was needed back in 2012 for something related to upgrading the network… so don’t touch it cuz shit might stop working.
Trust me, I’ve seen homelabs that are far better maintained than real world production stuff. If you’re talking about the 0.2% of companies/banks that actually take care of their infrastructure, they are the expection, not the norm.
Homelabs will always be better maintained. In most cases it’s a one man show and the documentation can be slight hints that will help you remember the process when you need it.
Most of the documentation for my homelab server is a README file in the folder next to the docker compose. At work I’m forced to write a lengthy explanation as to why things are the way they are in Confluence.
SAAS is a scam developed by venture capital to make their otherwise nominally profitable tech gambits able to bilk clients of cash on a scale not even Barnum could fathom.
Hidden? It’s pretty fucking opaque. The point of most videos is to explicitly talk about whatever item(s) is about (CPU, GPU, cooling device, chair, tons of accessories, etc), he mentions lttstore at least once per video, and explicitly calls out sponsors.
A “Ubuntu LTS” option would be great here, yeah. It’d be next to impossible to support every distro and I get the feeling linux users who have distro preferences are also the type who would prefer to do it themselves.
Source: Me I guess. I’d rather setup Fedora myself
That’s good for workplaces at least. Everywhere I’ve worked, Ubuntu LTS is the standard with everything else being “good luck, just don’t let it get in the way of work”
Those are the exact words my first boss used when on my first day, I asked if I could use linux mint instead haha. That’s pretty spot on.
For good reason too, it has waaaay more support for your basic workplace apps than anything else (not that other things don’t but it’s easier to find a .deb than a .rpm)
I’ve blocked his channels, so I can’t give recent sources. But it was VERY clear he ignored AMD graphics for years around 2014-2018, until when they began to advertise, they suddenly got attention. Also it was very clear that when Intel stopped their program to support reviewers, he did a 180 and was suddenly VERY EXTREMELY negative on everything Intel. Coinciding with when AMD began to advertise on his channel.
Just pay attention if you use his channel, and I bet you’ll see it very quickly too.
LTT is hidden advertising, and there is no money for that in Linux.

Entreprise services are there so client companies have someone to blame contractually if there’s an issue instead of themselves, that’s very valuable.
Plus, support is pretty nice to have.
You are off your rocker if you think most saas products can be replaced by docker 🤣
There is a big gap between you running jellyfin in your basement and securely and reliably maintaining services.
it’s funny that you use that as a selling point.

Imagine thinking availability is all you need to do.

So you’re telling me all those products built on top of docker are !!MILITARY GRADE!! ?

👌👍
Hidden? What else is there to get from a tech illiterate channel?
Even his build guides are awful

Which advertising is hidden?
windows don’t pay him too
Everyone else does, why does it matter if MS doesn’t 🤷.
He has stock in framework laptops so Linux should be nice for him.
?
Seems unfortunate that there’s no “pre-built ready to use with Linux pre-installed” option starting at ~$1499.
system76 makes great desktops

I missed the part where you provide sources/reasons for your allegation of crime?
