pewdiepie is one of the modern celebraties that it kinda annoys me that I recognize the name. I feel like if I had not been a nerd and somehow I knew who captain kirk was even though I did not like sci fi. if I was not a nerd. I certainly like sci fi and know who captain kirk is.

I think most people in the native English speaking world recognize Kirk regardless of their opinion on sci-fi.
I mean now yeah but like in the 80's and even 90's not as much. wrath of con and 4 did relatively well and with blockbuster likely more people saw it. Despite that sci fi was really niche back then. How about like knowing who captain picard was in 1995.

Good on him for this. I started self-hosting a couple years back, so my "tech fence" is already fairly complete, with a few glaring omissions, still a WIP.
I do wish he got someone to provide links to guides or wiki pages, but I understand that making people go out and search for things is also important, even if it's a simple task to search on google/github for open source projects.

Could swear I saw that last year or the year before
I have no idea who this guy is. I've seen his name float around on the internet but never knew what he did.
