Podcast Confusion

At the end of the day, I have no clue what I'm doing with the podcast. I made a post last week about some changes, and then didn't really go through with them, though I tried. I wanted to edit out the pre- and post-show and leave it as a live stream, but that's apparently not possible, so it just ended up getting posted as a new video. 

Which did fine in views. Honestly, I don't care too much about the views, it was always the impact of the long video of the podcast impacting the r...

A Word About Some Podcast Changes

At the end of today's podcast I made an announcement that will have some effects on you, my awesome patrons. 

Basically, what's going on is that on YouTube, the edited video version of the podcast will, at least for now, not be posted. The Live stream will stay up.

I'm doing this because YouTube does not like me uploading a video that is over an hour long. But they don't penalize a  channel when there is a live stream that is that long. 

So here's a few things...

Going Back to i3

I've been of the mind that I need to change things up. I know, I know, I change things all the time, always trying new things. But what I really mean, is getting a change of scenery, if that makes sense. I love DWM, and I know that I will come back to it, but I need to spend some time elsewhere in order to appreciate it a bit more.

That was the whole goal behind switching to bswpm for those two weeks. I enjoyed that time, but bspwm isn't really for me. So, I've decided to go back to my ...

Early Access and Some Updates

Hey everyone! Hope things are going great for you. 

I just wanted to pop in and let y'all know that I'm still around. I haven't forgotten about my patrons. My plan is to get early access back going up tomorrow with the pod and continue on from there. I'm still ahead with video production, but I haven't had a good time editing video lately, so I'm working on that.

Other than that, life has been busy AF, and add on top of that I've got a cold, so #Winning!

Discord Roles

Hey everyone!

First, thanks for the continued support!

We have several new Patrons here, so I just wanted to put this out there. If you have Discord and are a part of our discord server, you should PM me on Discord so I can add you to the proper roles. The Patreon bot is utter garbage. Similarly if you move to different tiers, please let me know so I can fix those roles. I usually catch them, but sometimes I miss it.

Loving MX Linux

So, I started my MX Linux long-term review this past week, and I have to say, I'm really liking it so far. A lot of the built-in tools are kind of useless for me, because I don't need a GUI to help me with my bashrc, but some of them are quite awesome. I love the snapshot tool, and I plan to use that to install MX on my laptop sometime this week. That should be great.
