I really appreciate your videos for my MSP job, as well as my own personal home office / home lab. You’ve encouraged me to learn more on my own and I’ve enjoyed it more.
Thank you Tom, not only for the great information but the willingness to share it and enthusiasm you have for it. Not too common in this industry, so I definitely wanted to share my appreciation. I’m 1 year into starting my own IT consulting company next month, and been in IT for 15 years prior to that. Your channel along with Chris Sherwood’s have been my two go to sources on RUclips. I watch every video I get a chance to, even on products or topics I have never worked with. You make everything interesting and fun to learn about. Keep it up and thank you again!
Hello! Fellow small business IT firm operator here and thank you so much for this video! Great content and really helps spread an important message to the community about the power of community and sharing and what that means for the IT industry. Keep doing great stuff!
Yep content marketing is still under-rated. No better way to show people you know what you're doing than literally showing them what you do lol. For a lot of customers I imagine they care way more about trust and getting quality service than just the lowest price from some random ad.
I found your RUclips site 4 years ago when I started my first home lab. You are still my go to channel for reviews, opinions and guides and I trust your advise. Keep it up! 👍
I have enjoyed your content and it has helped me figure out my own personal PFSense and Ubiquiti networks setup at home. When the pandemic started and I had all the family home, my network was able to handle all the devices that my 4 kids, working wife, and my own working needs all at the same time without any down time or issue with bandwidth or connectivity. Thank you for producing such valuable content!
I retired as the Senior Technical Team Lead and PTA for a fortune 10. You help keep me current on the prosumer market without having to attend all the BULLSHIT budget meetings.
To echo the earlier comments; thank you Tom. We can feel your passion, we can see your trustworthiness, and we really appreciate the sharing of your knowledge!
Your channels content has single handily helped me shape my network setup. The attention to detail was the single most attractive point to me continuing to come back to every video including live steams. Thank you.
Little do outside people understand the IT space is so large and complex. From digging into a complex exchange server issue with a corrupted 348gb data store. To simply setting up a simple server. You never stop learning and expanding your knowledge.
I have learned so much from you and even bought my first Ubiquiti system because of you. Because of you, my wife doesn't complain about our old crappy Wifi dropping out, and my son can watch Mickey Mouse daily without it buffering. (True stories BTW). You da man and I thank you.
We're about the same age, Tom. You can't retire from your IT job until I retire from mine. Seriously, I enjoy the videos very much. Keep up the great work!
Experts give their best away for free because they understand knowledge isn't what's valuable: it's the wisdom of knowing when and how to apply given knowledge that makes money. ideas are cheap. Execution is almost everything.
Watching this video while my internet is routed though my pfSense firewall. I've been aware of pfSense for a while now, but Tom's tutorials are absolutely what I used to get going.
I found the channel from the Pop!_OS videos and the channel was one of the reasons for me switching full-time to Linux for my laptop last year. As a software developer, freelancer, and past full-time IT support/networking I enjoy the mixture of technical and business content.
Tom, always enjoy watching your videos. I stumbled across your channel around the time the virus shut the majority things down. It was at that point that I was determined to expand my knowledge in networking. I've been in IT for way too longer than I'd like to admit. But because of the passion that you have with sharing knowledge, it has opened so many doors for me to improve on. So, thank you for creating RUclips videos.
Hi Tom, thanks for all the effort you put into your content, it is beyond helpful on so many topics. Could you put a link to the video switcher you are using that you mention in the video. I don't even know what to call it, but I am curious.
I really like your videos, and you convinced me to look at Synology for my NAS solution. (DS1621+ most likely, with M.2 accelerators and a 10G expansion card) Along with using it for surveillance monitoring and whatnot. Good stuff, and I'm glad it's working out well for you.
I would syggest to make IPv6 content too, like for example, how to use Wireguard for P2P links using /31 netmask for IPv4 aswell /126 prefixes for IPv6 and things like that. P.S Please enable IPv6 support on your website. I can see that's hosted on Digital Ocean so that means, it should have IPv6 support too.
You, level1techs/linux are two of the more technical in-depth channels so is Rossman's channel too and there are plenty others I just want to say thank you for uploading and actually wonder how do you get yourself a team together been trying to get some projects off the ground and would like to find some help with people who know more than me or are just willing to help, do you have any advice?
I am curious about the economics of what you get paid from RUclips for your content? You don't have to be specific about numbers but I am curious how that contributes to your business revenue and whether it is sizeable or just icing on the cake so to speak?
@@LAWRENCESYSTEMS I know some content creators their sole revenue comes from RUclips so I've always wondered what it takes (# of followers, views, etc) to get to that level.
we need an other RUclips free, open, and premium for 1 dollar, made from the people for them, to show whats going on behind the scene, maybee with a marketplace
I swear I'm not making fun of you, I hope you don't hate me for this! I watch a ton of your content, i love all of it! Your sign off.. lol I don't know why but I love how you basically just drop the mic and sign off. I was watching you on the family room TV once and my wife goes "Someone needs to take a sh!t". lol, I honestly think it's awesome, don't hate me man!!

Little do outside people understand the IT space is so large and complex. From digging into a complex exchange server issue with a corrupted 348gb data store. To simply setting up a simple server. You never stop learning and expanding your knowledge.
And with technology being ever changing you really don't have a choice if you want to continue working in this field.
I have learned so much from you and even bought my first Ubiquiti system because of you. Because of you, my wife doesn't complain about our old crappy Wifi dropping out, and my son can watch Mickey Mouse daily without it buffering. (True stories BTW). You da man and I thank you.

You do quality videos, well presented, like a TV show. Keep it up.
thanks
Your videos helped me build a rack of servers and virtualize everything. It paid off since I'll be moving into DevOps at work.
Awesome
Thank you Tom, my go to guy regarding networking and servers 🤛
Glad to help
Tom and LTS always deliver
Thanks!

One can always sense your passion for sharing knowledge. Please keep it up!

Tom, because of you, I am back to pfsense. And i started learning more. Thanks for opening my eyes.
Because of Tom I'm on UDM Pro for the home and pfSense and MikroTik for the business as well as Meraki mr33.

Trying to learn pfsense and these videos are very helpful. Thank you.

We need Tom Fest, a celebration of Tom

Thanks Tom. I'm not a tech guy but I enjoy your channel a great deal.
Good to hear that 🙂
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching
Which movie studios did you implement storage for?? And what are they storing?
We don't have permission to give client names and they are used for editing. One studio in particular is remastering lots of older films.
And thank God you started and do such a wonderful job at doing these.
🙂👍

Not likely because I don't use IPV6
Great video Tom. Knowledge is power and I appreciate all your videos
Thank you.
I learned so much from you.
Now I have a goal to make my own business.
You, level1techs/linux are two of the more technical in-depth channels so is Rossman's channel too and there are plenty others I just want to say thank you for uploading and actually wonder how do you get yourself a team together been trying to get some projects off the ground and would like to find some help with people who know more than me or are just willing to help, do you have any advice?

More like icing, the big dollars come from the consulting side.
@@LAWRENCESYSTEMS I know some content creators their sole revenue comes from RUclips so I've always wondered what it takes (# of followers, views, etc) to get to that level.
it's not common to see a video with thousands of views and literally not a single dislike
we need an other RUclips free, open, and premium for 1 dollar, made from the people for them, to show whats going on behind the scene, maybee with a marketplace
I do sorta miss the hot pepper challenges you used to do.
We still might do a few more of those
i think this is a innovative and great way to support the Community Love your work and videos
🙂👍
Thanks for teaching us 👍 😁
Do you do network consulting for residential single family homes?
Yes
I swear I'm not making fun of you, I hope you don't hate me for this! I watch a ton of your content, i love all of it!
Your sign off.. lol I don't know why but I love how you basically just drop the mic and sign off. I was watching you on the family room TV once and my wife goes "Someone needs to take a sh!t". lol, I honestly think it's awesome, don't hate me man!!
Awesome i got to be number 666 for liking this video

@@LAWRENCESYSTEMS Always dropping knowledge.
Why buy advertising when you can get paid to advertise your skills? And do some education in the process.
Yup, moving from marketing to educating.
Nice!
Why www.lawrencesystems.com/ never load for me? I open it while watching this vid on the background.
