Thanks! Yeah, I mean, it was really nice to run full servers. I actually have a couple of new ones, but with energy prices atm I can't justify the expense really. Ideally, I think I would like another 3 thinkcentres + a NAS-like system. Maybe a HP Microserver or something similar for the NAS. Then I would probably be satisfied. :)
Nice tutorial Brendan. Why do you put yourself through the torture of using MacOS as your dev laptop? I admit that when I was doing Openstack at Rackspace, I used a Macbook but I was young and foolish. These days my work laptop is Ubuntu, my home laptops are Fedora and Pop!_OS and my raspberry Pis run Debian. I cannot imagine voluntarily going back to MacOS.
I have a Gen4 P1 Thinkpad for work. It runs Rawhide Silverblue. But the main reason I reach for the MacBook over the Thinkpad is the battery life. The MacBook will easily go a full work day without a charger. The Thinkpad is lucky to get 3.5 hours. For the videos, if I use the MacBook, then I can record the video using my iPhone. I have an old DSLR that I originally used for this channel. But the difference in quality is substantial if you scroll back through some of these videos. :) My neovim config works the same on both of them. So the dev experience isn’t really too different. :)
I should say, I can use the iPhone with OBS to record the video. I could probably record the face cam with the iPhone on its own, do the rest in Linux and then edit the two together. But it just makes it more annoying to sync the audio and everything else. Much easier to record it all in one go with OBS and upload it.
Like Brendan said, the battery life on macbooks is insane. I've been looking forward to purchase one for myself just because of the battery life. It's a shame that other laptops have not caught up with Apple in this regard.
@@-NaniBot- Yeah for sure. I have the M1, the M series definitely got me back into the ecosystem. Prior to that, I was perfectly content with my Thinkpad and Fedora desktop.
Nice man, but for arm54 this worked for me: curl -O $(./openshift-install coreos print-stream-json | jq -r '.architectures.aarch64.artifacts.metal.formats.iso.disk.location')
Tiny PC for homelab is the way to go - thanks for the video and stay save this summer!

I'm sorry for what you had to endure with the storm and stuff. I am glad you're OK.
Hey, thanks! It was definitely a tough start to the year.
Wow
