Linux! Open Source! Nerdy Toys!
You're probably here because you ran across one of my training videos. I try really hard to stick to what I know, and teach Linux stuff and technology adjacent stuff. But... sometimes I can't help myself and I post videos about whatever super nerdy thing I'm doing or playing with. But if you like Linux, you might like the other nerdy stuff that occasionally distracts me. You'll only know if you subscribe!
I do lots of others stuff too. I even have a web comic! If you want to see my other stuff, you can find me here:

    Thank you for the video, for the record, netplan uses systemd-netword in headeless system (you can for example check with systemctl status systemd-networkd)

    Yeah, I'm completely lost with how fast you're going through everything. It seems like you're assuming I know what all this stuff is already which is fine. I just thought this was an introductory course. For reference I'm doing this for my degree but I don't know anything about linux so when you talk about an OS over a kernel and just don't explain what any of that is, I'm gone. I'm sure it's helpful for intermediates already in the field though.

    Not true about polarity always needing a multimeter…A lot of times the wire will have a white on black line or one of the two adjoined wires will be scored to delineate positive and negative. A lot of times I’ve found that if the wires go into the converter, they do not twist or go different directions, so the side of the wire corresponds to the wall prong it lines up with.

    Windows, turn on WSL, it's a great transition for learning on Windows. You can boot and use several different distros all with it connected to Windows. I run Kali Linux and Ubuntu. Mostly for cyber security aligned stuff and learning about servers. Arch and Mint are quite popular in the user space.

    Your 120 volt a/c to 12 volt a/c adapters are for low voltage garden lights. The reason being is if you run d/c voltage through the underground wires you will cause the wiring to corrode.

    Since they kicked Wally out of The Bronco's and did not allow him to play for Australia because he'd beat Reg Gaznier's record, I never watched Rugby League again. He was flying into Training in helicopters 🙄 Teammates should had recognised that is how quickly "get things done people" get things done. "You will not believe this! but Wally has gone in for a try during the break!" When those blokes walked out shouting, "Queenslander!" it was like the Maroon from their Jersey's thundered through the turf of Lang Park and straight up into your own Nuts! These days, it's all quite meaningless. Garry Jack, Ben Ellis, Wayne Pearce, Des Hassler, you would watch the weekend games just to know who'd ya'd be up against in Origin. "Hang on, something went on in the background... Lindner just got flattened by Roach!" "Oh! ya don't do! take your eyes off a Front Rowwer when he's got you linned up." Then! "Goes to Bobby Lindner! Try to Bobby Linder!" I carried a cd copy of "Bring Back the Biff" with me into Western Europe. They stole everything I had. All I wanted to do was visit Meteren to Honour Poppy's WW1 service. Cousin Clem sails a Beer Can raft from Darwin to Singapore to Announce Darwin is back on the map! 😅 and calls it "CanTiki" 😅 Andrew Johns was so funny that I was calling him the next Paul Hogan. I was in Darwin 3 years ago and had to drink water from bottles people threw out their car windows. I thought to myself, "It's pretty decent that they take the effort to replace the cap" I saw a dead Canetoad on the highway, raised my fist, and shouted, "Queenslander!" I must say all my life all Mum would say about death is "It would be a blessed bloody relief" She had plenty to 'complain' about, but just got on with the job.

    you might be able to use buck converter spliced in if the voltage of the device is lower than the brick or a boost converter spliced in if the device needs more volts note you may need more amps if using boost converter these buck or boost converters are usually configurable so you should use a volt meter to make sure the output is correct for people that have the nes (even though it says you shouldnt) (you can use a dc adapter as well with a range of voltages): kzread.info/dash/bejne/rIilxcRxmM-eiaw.html

    Not sure if you mentioned it or you will later in one of the videos but are the terminal commands (eg. ls, mv, touch, etc.) universal for all the distributions of Linux (eg. Debian, Red Hat, Arch, and/or SUSE) or does it depend on the terminal emulator also? (eg. Gnome Terminal, Konsole, Guake, etc.)

    Mr Powers, I know this video has been around for a while now, but I've been going through some college courses on LInux the CLI. While I've generally advanced past these basic commands, YOUR WAY OF EXPLAINING AND GET COMFORTABLE WITH THE COMMAND ARE SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you. At the end of your video, you said to throw out some ideas for a different video. Could you at some point create a video on the | (pipe) command? Maybe you already have and i just haven't gotten there yet, but one of the biggest issues I've found is not knowing which commands go together well when using it.

    I am still very new to LInux. So, there's probably a million different things a person can do to make it easier for them to read, but how in the world did you change the font color? When everything is just black and white, all the different lines run together. I love this color scheme you're using.
