The linux stuff is directly from Linus, just watch the Linux gaming rig challenge he did with Luke, the guy is a fucking moron. And on the server stuff I recollect from Linus when Jake was trying to get Linus to use TrueNAS instead of UnRaid and Linus kept making fun of the way TrueNAS did things because he didn't understand it. Literally, only because it's not like he is used to doing it in UnRaid... which honestly is par for the course because that's the reason he doesn't like Linux too. Simply because some things are not done the way he is used to doing them. It's pathetic. Linus always bangs for the most pleb software like UnRaid or WIndows... which is fine, but then disparages anything else because he simply hasn't taken the extra step or the extra time to understand it. He only wants to understand tech on a very basic and surface level because he's nothing more than a hardware enthusiast gamerbro douchebag. He doesn't actually understand any of the tech he talks about.

Jake might not know how to use the tooling, and he absolutely bumblefucks around with it, but at least he's trying to use the right tooling most of the time.

    I really should have said "His bad linux/server stuff knowledge comes, amongst other factors, from jake"... Ofc, the man himself is an idiot, too.

    The fact alone, that he lets a writer, who is a hobbyist server/linux enthusiast with no professional experience in the field whatsoever, maintain that kind of infrastructure, should tell us a lot.

    Also, you are correct in saying that Jake is trying to do the right thing.

    Yeah, I agree that Jake is just in over his head, and he should have someone with more experience taking care of those things. It's one thing to be setting up Linus's home with some selfhosted shit, but it's completely another story to be setting up the company's systems. One of the podcasts I listen to had Wendall from LevelOneTechs on... he talked a little bit about going over to LMG to help them. And he didn't say it directly, but you could tell that it was an amateur hour clownshow over there.
