You asked for it, you got it. Here's what I think of Red Hat.
Sorry this video took a bit longer than I'd like, since I'm working on finishing my basement (future recording space) at the moment.
Anyway, I'm not planning on dwelling much on Red Hat beyond this- my plan is to move forward with community-driven distros in mind, and recommend those to customers in the months and years ahead. I hope Red Hat gets to a good place again. We'll see.
Supporters make this possible. Seriously, nobody's sponsoring this video except you!

So YouTube has a comment scamming problem. Lots of creators on this website have talked about it, yet YouTube hasn't fixed the problem.
In today's episode, I'm going to talk about the comment scammers. They've shown up in my comments section, and it has to stop. I have a few ideas about that. I also wanted to show you all what I am currently doing to try and tackle this on my own feed.
Big shoutout to LearnLinuxTV, Crosstalk Solutions , and The Linux Experiment for helping me confirm most YouTubers won't send you WhatsApp messages. :P
0:00 I say "greetings" and tell you about scammers 1:27 No reputable YouTuber will do this! 3:29 What can I, Veronica, do to stop scammers now? 5:19 What can YouTube do? Probably a lot? 7:46 My conclusion- YouTube can fix comment spam, and should.

It's easily self-hostable, too, which is awesome! So, should you stand up your own server? I'm not recommending it to most folks, and this video explains why. TLDR- build communities and not silos.

The modern web can be distracting, invasive, and slow. Luckily, there's another way!
Using an RSS/Atom feed reader can really help cut out distractions. Doing so from the terminal can enhance the effect, keeping you informed without all of the adtech and algorithms.
Enter Newsboat! Newsboat is an open source fork of Newsbeuter, and is a wonderful terminal-based feed reader. I even fire it up on my old Wyse terminal in the video!
In this video, I explain how to install and configure Newsboat on Manjaro, Fedora, and Pop!_OS. It's packaged up for other distros too, and non-Linuxes like macOS (via Brew) and FreeBSD.
Shout-out to Christian from @The Digital Life for helping out my pronunciation! This video also has some footage of @Techno Tim and @Learn Linux TV , both of whom are great.
If you want to help support the channel, you can join the Patreon at https://patreon.com/VeronicaExplains. For $10/mo, I'll print your name on my dot matrix printer and put it in the video. Super neat! There's also a $1 and $5 tier- any little bit helps me spend more time making videos!

The reports of the death of the dot matrix are an exaggeration!
In this episode, we explore the dot matrix printer, how impact printers work well with carbonless printing, and how you can connect to a dot matrix printer using Fedora Linux. You can even hook an old parallel, centronics, or serial printer up to a modern network using an HP JetDirect print server!
You might find this interesting as well- I don't have a fast enough camera to capture this sort of thing, but this video shows exactly how the pins in a dot matrix printer work, and it is super neat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk3iJJ9PpDY
