Gary’s Videos: A Relatable Journey of Discovery (and Frustration!)

Ever watch a tech video and feel like you’re looking in a mirror? Gary’s videos perfectly capture the real-world struggles and triumphs of exploring new systems, making them a must-watch for anyone who’s ever debugged their way through a late night.

Every time a new video from Gary – @garyhtech – comes out, regardless of the topic (which is mainly about BSDs, but not only), I already know I’ll have to take the time to watch it. The reason is very simple: his videos are fantastic. He records himself and comments while doing things, and in many situations, it feels like I’m watching myself. I tackle something new, and it doesn’t work, or I realize I’ve made a mistake and start reprimanding myself. Gary does all this on camera. Sometimes he succeeds, sometimes he doesn’t, but that’s not what matters… what really matters is the process and how he approaches it.

The latest video, published yesterday, is “FreeBSD User tries NetBSD! Is it much Different?”. And, in my opinion, it’s worth watching just for the title alone.
