Jeff never made sense to me, his videos seemed dodgy, the first one I saw he was jumping on the linus screwdriver silly hype train, but his fans just adored him, to the point I assumed some of them were drooling. I didn’t see much more of him over the years, so my view is definitely limited.
After glancing at the manual, I now know I was previously correct stopping at the home page
I haven’t managed to get past their home page yet, it just looks like an inside joke.
Weird little guys is an interesting read, I was surprised to find Jeff Geerling there, I always thought he was just a really crappy youtuber, with really stupid fans. I was half expecting to find Linus SebastiDouche on the list afterwards.

“How did you react to Debian’s decision?”
I deleted it, debian was thankfully not my main, just a backup/something of interest.
The ‘vote’ itself seemed dodgy, every option was going to ai in some form, or another.
Multiple reasons at the time, most of which I don’t remember, one of them was wanting higher speed usb-c which wasn’t available on a lot of other boards, in hindsight it would have been better, and cheaper to get a pci-e to usb-c card. The board also has the error code read out, a thunderbolt add in card connector, WiFi 6E, 4 x m.2s.
There was/is also the potential to replace the cpu with an x3d. Although the 5700x was a very deliberate choice and I am happy with it. I was never planning on moving to am5.
- 5700x cpu $339aud (on sale from $489), now $310 on sale
- x570s gigabyte aorus master mobo $411aud (on sale from $522), now rare as hens teeth, on newegg for $700, on ebay for $900+
- ram 2x16 3200 $152aud, now 3 castles, both legs, and a pristine fully sealed snes.
mobo was a weird buy anyway though, but does make me wonder what the options and prices are like now for am4 systems. Maybe they will start releasing new boards, or rerelease old ones…
I only built my am4 system at the end of 2022, it’s new, not old :P
The way things are going it may end up with some of my sodimm in it by 2030
8 butt is probably more my style
