  • Do you serve things to a public? Like a website? Because unless you’re serving a public, that’s dumb to do… and you really don’t understand the purpose of it.

    If all you wanted was the ability to access services remotely, then you should have just created a WireGuard tunnel and set your phone/laptop/whatever to auto connect through it as soon as you drop your home Wifi.


  • And transferring huge video files for editing using Windows file transfer is equally moronic to using it as a tool to measure throughput. If that’s actually thier workflow, they are bigger imbeciles than I could ever imagine. And so are you for thinking that’s okay.

    When you run a new line, and you want to specifically test that line… which is what he stated, you use iperf.

    You can try and defend it all you want but all you’re doing is proving that you don’t know shit. You think a test that has more variables, is less repeatable, and less accurate is the best test… you’re just as incompetent




  • If you’re testing throughput of a network then you use a tool that tests throughput. Want to know why he didn’t? He’s probably never heard of iperf because he’s a fraud. Windows file transfer is not accurate and can be effected by drive speeds. It’s insane to me how dumb some people are that watch his videos. That now includes you. The brain rot his channel has caused is real, I can’t imagine saying windows file transfer is an accurate measure of throughput, lmao. You’re an imbecile. This is exactly why I say LTT has done more harm to the tech community than anything. He has you believing windows file transfer is a legitimate measure of throughput! Ahahahahaha!

    And the fact he would be running Windows tells you all you need to know about his tech expertise. Windows is a joke of an OS with laughable workflows and no customization. Dude is a warehouse employee that got a cult YouTube following from dropping hardware, he knows nothing about tech. Almost every video I’ve watched of his has me cringing over his incompetence, it’s insane someone that gets so much constantly wrong has amassed such a following. But I guess, most people are just really that dumb, and punchable face thumbnails with click bait titles are enough to gain subs.


  • My issue is he’s a large channel and their videos are consistently inaccurate. I’ve never watched a video of his on linux or android or android tv and couldn’t find numerous flaws. He is a huge channel with a lot of influence and he’s prioritized pumping out inaccurate videos instead of doing the due diligence and research. I feel with as large of a channel he has and as much influence he has, he has a responsibility. Instead he’s doing the tech community as a whole harm. Literally every video I’ve seen from him regarding linux or android was extremely inaccurate or missing beneficial information. I always wrote it off as he’s just a gamer bro and that’s more his niche but then the gamernexus video dropped and showed he was even getting that wrong. LTT has done more harm to the tech community on YouTube than any other channel.


  • He’s an imbecile and knows nothing about tech. I watched him interconnect buildings then run Windows file transfer to test it. You know, instead of a legitimate tool like iperf. He constantly gets shit wrong about linux as others pointed out. Videos I saw on Android TV boxes were also extremely inaccurate so he could push Google’s product. Like literally everything he does with linux and android is dumb as fuck. I thought at least he was accurate with the gaming industry videos as I don’t know enough about it. But then that gamernexus video dropped and I was like holy shit… this guy can’t do anything right.

    It has the most sane defaults out of the box, and can literally run ciricles around GNOME as far as setting keyboard shortcuts. It’s crazy you’re so in love with the most neutered, asinine, uncustomizable DE in Linux and even admit how dogshit it is so why are we still discussing. You literally admitted it.


  • A synced copy of data doesn’t protect against accidental file deletions… that is why RAID isn’t a backup, that is why snapRAID isn’t a backup, that is why syncthing is not a backup, that is why any kind of synced copy is not a backup. Let me know if you’re still struggling with this VERY basic concept… that has had it’s own little phrase parroted for decades, “RAID is not a backup.”




  • Why do so many people do this incorrectly. Unless you are actually serving a public then you don’t need to open anything other than a WireGuard tunnel. My phone automatically connects to WireGuard as soon as I disconnect from my home WiFi so I have access to every single one of my services and only have to expose one port and service.

    If you are going through setting up caddy or nginx proxy manager or anything else and you’re not serving a public… you’re dumb.

    What kind of shitty TV takes 30s to turn on? Ive never seen one take that long. Smart functions have literally nothing to do with how fast they turn on. In fact a lot of smart TVs, especially with Roku built in, don’t even really ever power down completely, and when you press power the screen is on and ready almost instantly.
