youtube VS serenity

I've never seen a dime from TrueNAS, but I can't speak for other content creators. I am explicit about my sponsorship, and will always mark a video and add information in both the video itself and the description disclosing exactly the relationship I have with any sponsoring vendor.

See: https://github.com/geerlingguy/youtube#sponsorships

Jeff Geerling, this guy does cool stuff with raspberry pies: https://www.youtube.com/c/JeffGeerling

COFFEE

James Hoffman: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMb0O2CdPBNi-QqPk5T3gsQ

Deep dives into coffee machines, grinders, techniques, beans, roasting, etcetera with a healthy dose of scientific discipline to each.

Lance Hendrick: https://www.youtube.com/c/LanceHedrick

As above, only WAY more detail. Sometimes more than you need. I found his reviews of low-priced (yet high quality) coffee grinders to have almost too much detail, but when I slogged through it I eventually worked out the perfect grinder for my needs and only ended up spending around $300-400, which frankly is amazing.

FOOD

ThatDudeCanCook: https://www.youtube.com/c/CookingwithSonny

High end chef techniques that are explained in impressively accessible detail. My only problem with this channel is I now am always disappointed when I order steak out anywhere because I know I can cook it SO MUCH BETTER MYSELF. If you take nothing else from this list, watch his video on cooking filet mignon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDrkI9_EEe8 If you follow the technique your mind will be blown.

How to Cook That: https://www.youtube.com/c/HowToCookThat

Food scientist esoteric cooking techniques, ingredients, weird stuff, and quite mind-blowing investigations into the Russian content factories that pump out fake "5 minute life-hack" media.

Chinese Cooking Demystified: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChineseCookingDemystified

American + Chinese couple living in Guangdong exploring authentic Chinese regional specialties. They do a great job of explaining the techniques and testing realistic alternatives for the more obscure ingredients that are simply unavailable outside of China.

Blondie in China: https://www.youtube.com/c/BlondieinChina

Aussie girl fluent in Mandarin, living in and exploring China's regions, cuisines and discovering all the things about day-to-day life that we just don't see from outside. Always entertaining, informative and interesting.

Tasting History: https://www.youtube.com/c/TastingHistory

Recreating famous dishes from history and taste-testing them, with detailed backgrounds of the why, where, how, when and who for each.

Xiao Ying Cuisine: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJJDD-Hy76jvUMRG-dpFkcw/fea...

New recipes almost every day. Dunno who she is, but they're always interesting dishes and mostly stuff I've never seen elsewhere.

SCIENCE/NERDY STUFF

Up and Atom: https://www.youtube.com/c/UpandAtom

Physics, Quantum theory, Maths.

Tom Scott: https://www.youtube.com/c/TomScottGo

Really hard to categorise, but he does a great job exploring all manner of obscure things in detail.

Julian O'Shea: https://www.youtube.com/c/JulianOShea

Industrial design, architecture, city planning, Melbourne, obscure stuff.

HARDWARE

Jeff Geerling: https://www.youtube.com/c/JeffGeerling

Great projects in and around the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, maker electronics spaces.

MUSIC

Dub Monitor: https://www.youtube.com/c/DubMonitor

Far too much detail about Dub Techno, minimalist techno.

VISUAL

Max Cooper: https://www.youtube.com/c/MaxCoopermax

Thought-provoking and mind-bending visuals and excellent music.

Max Hattler: https://www.youtube.com/user/maxhattler

Not that active any more, regrettably. But similar to above. What is it with people called Max and visuals?

I highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/c/JeffGeerling and his book "Ansible for DevOps" and https://www.youtube.com/c/TechnoTimLive among other youtubers. Learn from other people's fails before you invest a dime.

Last but not least, before we get started, I used the following guide from the brilliant Jeff Geerling when I was trying this out for the first time on a Raspberry Pi cluster I built (maybe that will be the basis for another guide!). I urge you to check out Jeff's page and YouTube channel, he makes great videos.

Technically, they didn't pay... but they did offer the display as compensation (I'm going to be integrating it into a new studio build—if I can get that to happen!).

A silly distinction in some ways, but a distinction nonetheless. I explain how I accept different types of sponsorship / review samples in my youtube repo: https://github.com/geerlingguy/youtube#paid-videos--product-...

SerenityOS replicates that look and feel. It is also implemented in a dialect of C++ that adheres to some of the good parts of C++98: https://serenityos.org

One example of a useful technique

https://serenityos.org/ apparently only makes source code available. There are no binary images of the OS to install

I think Andreas said this functions like a little test -- if you're not willing to build it from source, then you probably wouldn't be a good contributor anyway.

---

Likewise, my shell project provides source tarballs only, right now - https://www.oilshell.org/release/0.21.0/

It is packaged in a number of places, which I appreciate. That means some other people are willing to do some work.

And they provide good feedback.

I would like it to be more widely available, but yeah I definitely see that you need to "gate" peanut gallery feedback a bit, because it takes up a lot of time.

Of course, it's a tricky balance, because you also want feedback from casual users, to make the project better.

Indeed, given the existence of `JS::NonnullGCPtr`, `JS::GcPtr` intentionally corresponds to a nullable pointer, so it seems dangerous to convert one to a reference without a null-check.

That said, a naive code search finds what *may* be more cases of this pattern:

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ASerenityOS%2Fserenity+%2F...

Eg: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/a68b134e6dea5065... -> https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/a68b134e6dea5065...

In some of those search results, it is fine because there is a preceding null-check, and obviously I know nothing about this code other than this naive search result, but perhaps it would be prudent to vet all of them.

It is a SerenityOS project. You can find the answer to that question in their primary project's FAQ[1].

https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity

The best way to write proper exception free C++ is not to use the C++ Standard Library.

I initially confused it with Serenity OS prior to watching the video: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity

My contributions to SerenityOS[0] helped me get my current job. My team lead (who was also my interviewer) was interested in what I did since I listed some of it in my CV, and I showed him some PRs I made and explained what went into each of them. It was really exciting because I didn't have professional experience with low-level development, and basically got the job due to hobby programming.

Definitely not "literally impossible", just a great deal of work. https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/tree/master/Ladybird
