The Open Source software I'm using in 2023 - Part 1!

This is part 1 of a 2 part series this year. As my use of Open Source grows, it gets harder to fit everything into a reasonable length video. I hope you enjoy it.

I apologize, I tried to put everything in here from the show notes, but I don't get enough characters to do it, so I will simply ask you to click on the show notes below to find more information about any of the projects I talk about.

[scotty]

Dude wtf.
One can actually feel the joy and enthusiasm spilling out of you!
Liked and subbed. Just for that very reason.

Thanks for updating the "I'm using" series for 2023! I've been a long time user of most of these as well, and it's great to see how someone else in the HomeLAB space uses these apps.

[mohamedelwakell]

I haven’t seen such quality work in a long time. Great job

[NoTySir]

Dude this video was awesome at showcasing the variety and polish that open source offers. I am inspired and encouraged to dive into a handful of the new things you introduced me to over the next few weeks just to learn as I go…appreciate the upload! Easy subscribe!

[dhruv]

I can literally hear your enthusiasm and passion in your voice. And soooo informative. Loved the video. Subbed 🔥

[susisunkist]

Thank you, thank you. I really love the style of your video: content instead of showcasing blinking hardware in the background. I have been using Linux on my devices for almost 25 years but there are always new things here and there worth exploring... Looking forward to watch part 2.

[anibalandrade]

Great video. Just started my Home Lab and this gave me lots of ideas to use! Thanks!

[kevinhughes]

[concep]

Always manage to get 1 or 2 new apps from your videos. Thanks for all you do.

[bagette]

It's always good to hear passionate people talk!! This was amazing

[JuanHernandezV]

This is awesome! I stopped using Google searches a long time ago because everything is so SEO oriented that it always returns crap, making me miss on a ton of OpenSource stuff... and now, this list felt like a refresher that I needed. Thank you!

[igorristeski]

Wow, great man. You have good concept, wonderful explaining and sense for your public. I can not say how amazed I am of your video.

[himabimdimwim]

Very enjoyable video! Thanks for sharing all of this great info.

[lmaoroflcopter]

Oh man that dashboard is fire. I've been using heimdall on my setup here as a jumping off point for my network services but I absolutely love your dashboard!

[imsilsa]

I just loved it. Thanks a lot for your time and effort🙏

[jgiqkkr]

[anthroponymy]
