Look what showed up 🎉

Back when I went to film school in 2018, they asked us on the intake form what we hoped to get out of the program.

I told them I wanted to make YouTube videos.

Thank you to all who’ve come along for the adventure so far - very grateful to have reached this milestone!

PS. No new video this week, but I just finished filming the next entry in the Buy It For Life series, so keep your eyes peeled for that next Thursday 🗓️

We're back with a new Linux video folks!

This time I try my hand at installing Debian on my ThinkPad T480. Check it out and tell me what a debootstrap error is!

Huge milestone for the channel yesterday!

Very grateful to you all for following along for the adventures in low-tech and digital minimalism, and very much looking forward to the year ahead.

Away with family on vacation this week so no video tonight, but I'll see you all next Thursday!

Merry Christmas folks!

To anyone who celebrates I hope it’s wonderful. And for those who don’t - still enjoy a bit of time off!

There will be no new video this week but here’s a few photos of how I did my Christmas gifting this year.

- Boxes and papers for wrapping were saved from parcels delivered in mail over the last few months (the brown paper is packing paper)

- I always paint my cards which people appreciate for the personal touch. It’s just a cut up piece of watercolour paper for the stock

- This year only a small handful of items were purchased new (I believe 3 items). The rest were secondhand. This isn’t even to save money in many cases, but to have access to certain items that are less readily available otherwise (DVD copy of someone’s favourite movie for example)

I’ll see you next week with a new video!

No video tonight folks - Monday's AWS Outage video was the main upload for this week.

I do have a new video out on Patreon talking all about throwaway culture, open-source, and ThinkPads. These videos are bonus videos for supporters and are more long-form and loose than what I share on the channel. I don't mention the Patreon much but if you'd like to support the work I do on here, the link is below!
