To add on, show us how to make the config backup you mentioned on the news. I used clonezilla, but that takes a long time and copys the whole disk. Maybe make a template git repo and leave instructions for how to dump a config then have a thread where the community can post their configs. Then a follow up reviewing anything that caught your eye

Suggestions for linux specific

  1. A review of skills and tools we need to contribute to linux or FOSS projects. Can also include skills ouside of programming.
    • Maybe soft skills such people management or delgating tasks for FOSS projects
  2. A guide for your thought process while debugging and solving problems. Elaborated with questions
    • Would love to see in depth how you restored LTT’s data or debugging a looking glass issue
    • How do you know which rabbit hole dig into? (I frequently dig into the incorrect rabbit hole)
    • What parts of error messages do you key in on and what parts you ignore?
  3. Bug reporting etiquette, how to save developers time when reporting issues.
    • Alternatively, a interview with gregkh, gnif or a project lead, getting the perspective of someone who had to review bugs to explain things they are looking for.
    • Alternative to a alternative. Get a expert to give insights to setting up a bug reporting system with best practices they’ve picked up maintaining large projects
  4. Interviews with rising contributors for how they got their start into contributing to FOSS projects
  5. Coverage of projects that need contributors
  6. Cool underrated tools people sleep on, like the powertoys video. Alternatively, getting a list of apps/config file you use
  7. A review of tools suggested in this thread

My suggestions for how to guides
A video simlar to this, but for storage

Updating home media server series. Is there better solutions? LTT did stuff with trueNas

Or pointing someone else’s series
