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’m gonna take a shot in the dark and say orange.

Did I get it?!

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.

I took a picture of one mid molt the other day!

Nature is fucking metal.

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

Lol, I thought so too.

Made me think of the arrested development license plate, A new start, ANUSTART .

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 love this lil’ thing.

The simplicity of it is absolutely fantastic.

Heya there all!

I have a lil project with a customized build of openwrt and I need about 4 of the compute module 4’s, one with about 4G RAM and ideally at least 8GB eMMC.

I was intending to use them with the DF Robot IoT router carrier board for the sweet 2x1Gb interfaces.

I filled out the notify me from pishop.us and a couple others, but does anyone happen to know either good alternatives with about the same RAM, on board storage, and performance or a good place to pick some up?

If it’s an alternative, ideally a literal alternative since I already have the DFRobot interface boards. But, if it’s a reasonable price, performance, and it’s compatible with openwrt in about the same form factor I’m still open to it!

Oh and I’m also open to purchasing used ones even at MSRP, but I won’t give someone $200 for it like most scalpers want, lol.

Anyways, appreciate everyone’s time! Hope y’all are havin’ an awesome day. :)

It’s all completely fiddly, lol.

It’s neat! But there’s a definitely a lot of things that aren’t quite that intuitive.

Glad I was able to help though!

You actually can already.

If no one has done it already, you’ll take the full URL to the “magazine” on kbin and pop it in the search bar.

After a few moments it should pop up and you should be able to navigate to the channel and subscribe.

An example of a kbin community on my instance: https://lolimbeer.com/c/mechanicalkeyboards@kbin.social

Worked for me!

Appreciate the link.
