But the software for other SBCs is extremely bad, I've never heard of any Pi on release or after that has any software or hardware bugs.
Proprietary blobs aren't that bad with Broadcom...

#12This is the guy who kicked up all the dirt about Red Hat, which IMO was entirely overblown. Not to say that he's a bad dude...but be careful of who you listen to on the Internet.
Gotta admit that the writing is very good and his content are entertaining, regardless of the content or (mis)information.
Re: Interview with Jeff Geerling
#13I love all Geerling's projects, writings, and videos over the years. I was actually concerned that based on the brevity of the title that something tragic had happened. Glad that's not the case!
Same reaction here, when I read the title I reflexively yelled out "No!"
Geerling's an excellent trailblazer, explainer, and all round lovely guy, and his specialties are much broader than just R-Pi.

#14Utterly wholesome is the perfect description. It's an instant click from me any time his videos (or hn posts) pop up. I get the same feeling from Jeff's videos I did when I watched PBS as a kid. That's not a dig; I find his videos extremely calming, informative, and well produced. The man radiates positivity and kindness. That's a rarity these days on YouTube. Presumably "high energy" content does better algorithmica…
Maybe a minor thing, but also interesting to highlight Raspberry Pi blog layout, not polluted with "subscribe me please" crap. Quite reassuring that there are still nice places on the internet.
But it still has cookie popup crap right ?

That is legally required in some places, I guess.

#16I remember when geerlingguy was just the author of all the ansible roles I happened to use, crazy to see how much of a "personality" he is now.
I remember when he was just midwesternmac and explaining tricky Drupal stuff. He's been brilliantly intelligible with everything he covers.

Jeff is awesome, and only mentioning it because I have the same experience with Adrian Black's videos (Adrian's Digital Basement.)
I would have killed for this kind of content as a youth.

Probably the headline auto "correcter" lopped off the "Meet" part of the original title. Yet another example of that piece of software being too clever by half if you ask me.
