I'm going to leave the stream deck video here on Patreon for you guys, but it has been pulled from Youtube and Odysee. Apparently my zip code appears in it. And while it doesn't take a lot of work to discover where I live, I didn't really feel comfortable keeping that online. Though, admittedly, it was probably too late anyways.
Hope everyone has a good week,

On this one, Matt and Tyler talk about everything. We run the gamut from subscription fatigue to Mint being Mint to Gentoo to Telemetry and Audacity. It's a long wild ride, so buckle up.
Also, sorry that the audio isn't as good as normal. We had some OBS problems.

What would you like to see on the channel coming up?

I mean, I assume everyone here is probably a member of like dozens of servers already. Would you even want one more?
If so, I guess I'll set one up. I'd probably also set up discord roles for you guys, though honestly I have no idea how to even go about doing that.

2021-07-07 17:26:20 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the perks I have for those of you on the upper tiers is early access to some videos. It's not a perk that I've been very good at delivering recently, and I'm sorry for that.
What I thought I'd do is talk a little about whats going on and what's preventing me from delivering some videos early.
The main crux of the issue is that I've had so many computer problems over the last month that getting ahead has been impossible. I think I've got them mostly solved now, but I'm still...

The first thing to talk about is the upcoming Bash Challenge for the pod. I have two problems with it (Despite it being my own damn idea). I need an idea of what to do. That's the first challenge. It needs to be useful and not based on something that I've done before. The next part will actually ...

For anyone who watched the stream on Sunday night, you know that I'm very frustrated. It ruined that entire stream.

2021-06-16 17:55:16 +0000 UTC View PostI don't know how many of my Patrons managed to catch that last stream, but man did that take everything out of me.
I installed Gentoo. Or more accurately, I tried to install Gentoo. It didn't work, but I got a lot further than I thought I would. So I guess that's a win.
But goodness, did that whole stream just make me exhausted. I keep trying to think of a scenario where I would try to install Gentoo again, and I can't do it.

2021-06-08 01:32:12 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the things that I've wanted to do for a long while, is learn to code. I don't really have any ambition to code for a living or anything like that. I just want to do it as a hobby because it sounds like it could be fun.
As I talked about on the stream yesterday, I think that I've decided on Python as my first full on language (though Bash is going to be happening alongside it). Mostly, I chose Python because there are a lot of free courses out there and I don't really want t...

2021-06-03 04:00:46 +0000 UTC View PostFor the last year, or so, I've been using Zim for all of my note taking needs, and it has been great. Honestly, there's no reason for me to switch away from it other than I'm trying to consolidate my apps a bit.
So, I've switched to VimWiki. The only issue is that I really want to take all of my zim notes and put them in one of my vimwilkis, but it doesn't seem possible without copying and pasting them one by one into vimwiki. That is just not going to happen as I have like 1000 differe...

I don't know why other than I was really bored and was desperately looking for something to do a video on. The vid I ended up doing wasn't about xmonad, but I did end up logging into it and sticking around throughout the whole day.

My thoughts so far is that I miss Alacritty's auto update feature where you make a change to your config and it updates automatically. Going away from that is like going back in time and trying to update xresources. It's kind of painful.
