Hi Brian, sorry to hear that you recently lost your job. With luck, it will be the final push - that you didn't know you needed - to be successful with your MSP company (or as a Writer). I just purchased a hardcopy of your novel (Canada). Impressive! Will let you what I think of it :). A small way for me to say THANKS for all that you do on your YouTube Channel. Been following you for 3-4yrs now. You taught me Docker while increasing my daily use of Linux & opensource solutions. Including at my work. Keep 'em comin'!
I always enjoy seeing your "what I'm using" videos each year. I've learned so much from you over the years. Best of luck on the job hunt!
I don't often sub to a channel on their first video, but I like your attitude. You've got that "I'm bringing everyone else up with me" vibe and this world is tough enough. Hope your business ventures treat you well. Now time to surf your channel.
Well presented, found a few I'd never heard of. Surprised to find, I'm using over half of these, great choices all around.
In Slovenia (and most of EU countries) we just use the Europass... It's a standardized Resume system, that creates resume PDFs: standardized formatting, all person infos are in metadata (so you just import the PDF resume in a program and compare all candidates at once)
Been tinkering with Linux since 2000 or so. I haven't had windows on my machine since 2018. I just started a new job and they use windows 11. What an utterly [string of colorful epithets redacted] operating system! I couldn't take it so I shrunk the partition and installed Linux. Which totally borked the windows boot loader; now I'm waiting for IT to come give me the Bitlocker key. There's like one application (Atmel Studio) I need windows for but otherwise I'm going to run Linux. Thanks for this video! Neat tools I'm going to check out :)
Until Linux creates a UI that's as easy as using Mac or a Windows, i bet people will move, but as we're more technical people its easy for us to use and we can make it happen... an average person cannot make it look like windows machine... i think we need a community to build an easy to use linux first before we can say an average person can start using it.
Oh man, I can't express how happy I am that you made another one of those types of video. I come back to your channel every year to see if you made one. Time to binge watch lmao
Thank you for this list.
Hi, first thanks a lot for your kind videos also I am still waiting for a video of Paperless-ngx
Great list of services. Netbird seems like a perfect replacement for tailscale. PS: Regarding purelymail, i hope you are aware of the ownership change.
Oh yes, sorry to hear dude, i hope you get back on your feet. You seem to be a very talented guy so I'm confident you'll be alright :)
Small correction, VSCodium is VSCode, the difference is only the branding and telemetry. Microsoft did NOT base VSCode on VSCodium, VSCode is fully open-source and the people behind VSCodium just build it such that it doesn't include Microsoft branding and telemetry.
My issue with Minarca is you are logging into the UI via HTTP not HTTPS, and unable to configure it out of the box with a selfsigned certificate+https. :( i like it generally though.
thank you for the introductions, and I'm sorry to hear that you lost you job months ago, I hope you get a good job soon/already
Hey Brian, thanks for the love💙! Pumped to see Metabase making your data life easier.
Thank you Brian! you're the best! (From Canada)
Very excited to watch this tonight!
RxResumes is exactly the type of resume composer I was looking for a year ago and couldn't find. Putting this to use right away!
Hum. Standard keyboard... I just always imagined you'd use an ergo or split... Slightly surprised... Great video!
