I AM AWARE that I held up a CFL light bulb and not an LED lol. I had it in the script and then realized that was the only bulb I had on hand and went with it thinking I one would care. I was clearly wrong haha. That being said, I appreciate when people correct me on things. Just figured I would clarify since I’ve gotten so many comments on it. 😂

No need to use sudo for passwd, unless you're changing other users' passwords. If you type just "passwd" it'll just assume you want the current user

[markaphillips]

I’ve only been following you for a little while but I’ve enjoyed your honest approach to these videos. Tinkering with what you have and buying cool tech to improve our lives has been a lot of fun! Thanks for the content

[Rgant]

Just wanted to thank you for the time and effort you put into when making your videos. I really enjoy watching them and the detail you go into is super helpful.

[lgnakajo]

Thanks! This video is so good. I've watched it many times while configuring my zimaboard. This should be the official tutorial of the product, and they should pay you for the support they do not provide enough of! Thanks again! 🎉

I'm using a PC with clean OpenMediaVault Instalation and after that, installed CasaOS and Portainer for management, its PERFECT

[darthkielbasa]

Your production skills are top notch, bud. I like the direction the channel is going.

[thespencerowen]

Just discovered your channel today and I'm super impressed. You are well versed in so many different tools.

@3:35, "That's less than a standard LED light bulb." As he holds up a compact twist CFL bulb Lolz!
We'll just call it a "placeholder". Keep up the good work, always informative and entertaining while striking a good balance of techsplaination that allows novice to expert to understand and learn.

Perfect timing, I m going to do this with my deskmini x300.

BTW I love the intros. They are so chill.

[TheRealEstate]

Totally Happy to see how far you have come since i started looking at your channel last year. I though I was subscribed, but I wasn’t. I am now. Congratulations!!!

I am using OMV on a laptop with a few attached external HDDs and learning a lot of new tricks watching this video. Niiice!

[Elemental-IT]

this is incredible. Thank you for being so thorough and easy to follow. I have so many ideas for this.

[jimlynch]

I'm probaby not going to be running CasaOS any time soon, but this video solved my tailscale exit node and subnet problems. It now works as advertised (pun intended). Thanks for that.

[AmbientTonez-frpw]

You are amazing and you teach so well, you actually give detailed information and want to help! THANK YOU !

[KrzysztofLetki]

I've been watching your videos for some time now, thanks to you I bought a slim PC AGAIN just to be able to play with it xD Casa makes the fun turn into a real deployment so thank you with all my heart for showing all of this, I got into it seriously which made my your wallet hate you, but I'm having a lot of fun :D

[Catge]

Great tutorial on securing things and explaining in simple terms

[bashman]

Fantastic guide for beginners like me that have little knowledge. I went out and bought a ZimaBoard and managed to get a Jellyfin server up and running from your very comprehensive guide. Be good if you could do more step by step guides like this.

[rohanthorat]

I just got my Zimaboard and this video was very helpful. Thank you!
