Anyone watching LTTs server videos hopes it is only for entertainment as following what they do other than for your home lab would be a disaster.
However they are building up the LAB and are selling it as serious detailed reviews.. This would be a shift from their current content.
Flip side Gamers Nexus is hard core serious and I always have to skip through their videos as they put me to sleep.
As someone who's been running unRAID out of a tower and like 5 drives; it's weird watching like four people who are definitely more tech savvy than me just bumble fuck their way through all this server stuff with enterprise level gear. Like I do more research for myself and I'm not jumping on video. Ultimately I like the videos, I enjoy seeing the approaches, but they try to come off like authority figures. Then they don't even know how to properly parity swap and make unRAID look harder than it is.
As someone who is very technically savvy, let me assure you that these guys are clowns. They are tech entertainers, not experts. Give yourself some credit.
They have people knowing their stuff, it's just Linus playing around and figuring out. Anthony with old hardware and Linux and Jake does know a thing or two about server stuff
Anthony isn't with LMG anymore. Their name is Emily now. Also, while Emily knew about Linux, having just a single person knowledgeable in that topic isn't enough. In any case, it's moot because she isn't there anymore.
Have you seen the storage server video? The one where they lost petabytes worth of data because they had zero clue how to configure a ZFS storage pool for proper redundancy? Even before this whole thing went down they've been heavily criticised for how they set it all up. As though it was done by an amateur who never configured a ZFS system before.
Edit: NM, Emily is on vacation, she didn't leave.
