Most people have never even heard of open source and have no idea why they'd use it or get involved and in this video I go into some of the reasons.https://video.davidsterry.com/videos/embed/8cb58ea2-5d51-4414-93ff-91fa2ecaf659https://video.davidsterry.com/w/56W6VUA3kqUYU6ET18pnKhhttps://video.davidsterry.com/static/thumbnails/b73a5dea-a4bc-4847-bf93-09b02112c170.jpgHow I Solved My Blender Audio Sync IssueOpen source tools may not be as easy to use as commercial ones but they are very powerful if you can work through the issues. In this video I talk about why I've switched from iMovie to Blender and how I solved my audio-video sync problem. Spoiler: Use Handbrake or similar tool to re-encode video at constant frame rate with no interlace detection (due to grey flashes using GoPro Hero 7 Black as source).https://video.davidsterry.com/videos/embed/21389d7c-17b3-46a2-aa75-5490c29b0d8ahttps://video.davidsterry.com/w/suGLEM7D2ACz6QrCrTrTBphttps://video.davidsterry.com/static/thumbnails/e1d0eee5-38f2-41a8-8c85-f28d1049fb30.jpgAre There Too Many Programmers?If you're thinking about learning to code you might be concerned that there are already too many programmers, that the market is saturated and that after you go to all the trouble to learn, there won't be a job for you. In this video I discuss the forces of supply and demand as they relate to the programmer job market.https://video.davidsterry.com/videos/embed/d68f8e64-2e4b-4be9-878a-1501885d2869https://video.davidsterry.com/w/3GDmN69BgkZxJMt7r94b46https://video.davidsterry.com/static/thumbnails/a889c638-2527-4ef7-9ddf-7fea82b28107.jpgGit Commit and Push - How to Commit code and push it to a remote repoWhat do you do after you change to a file and want to use Git share your changes? In this video I show you how simple it is to `git commit` and push your code to the repo from which it was cloned.https://video.davidsterry.com/videos/embed/15df0d16-eb7a-4e6e-b77a-54150f575db3https://video.davidsterry.com/w/uUYbKo5DTvQDUQXmiWe5JHhttps://video.davidsterry.com/static/thumbnails/595896a7-dce0-4977-8b87-1dccf2005817.jpgWoodside Ramble Trail Run Terrain (2021)Before I ran this I had a hard time finding out what the course was like, so I brought my GoPro on the run. Here's a short video showing what much of the terrain looks like with a quick view of the Start/Finish line and a few pictures. Enjoy your run! P.S. I ran the 10k (that's not me finishing 3rd) since it was my first trail run and found it to be over almost as soon as it started. So next time I get out into such beautiful territory I'll have to make it a half!https://video.davidsterry.com/videos/embed/ea252f17-23fc-47fa-9017-88fdb4f3bdc5https://video.davidsterry.com/w/qUdnmwSkmZDN1CK6CtYKdmhttps://video.davidsterry.com/static/thumbnails/7ccd5405-dddd-433a-bf19-048e47dc488d.jpgJourney to the Fediverse, Mastodon and Pieter HintjensRandomly talked to the camera for a while and edited it down to this, my journey that led to the Collective Code Construction Contract and forking Mastodon into Ecko.

Literacy is a big strength people! This came out of a similar kind of video journaling and a better process for getting stuff done that I'll hopefully talk about sometime in the future.https://video.davidsterry.com/videos/embed/0571632e-f958-4775-8974-e7f84372c94dhttps://video.davidsterry.com/w/8dtnQY9C9AKtYW5KnfuubGhttps://video.davidsterry.com/static/thumbnails/802c0831-dcf1-4596-9171-8b4b8ce8a817.jpgFediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEP) - What they are, how they work, etc.In this video I talk about Fediverse Enhancement Proposals, a fediverse-native standards process that started a couple years ago and is starting to thrive.

Here I show you where to make the time and date change like for daylight saving time on the 2014 911.https://video.davidsterry.com/videos/embed/bcc5dffb-73ba-4757-9166-7d115d98d158https://video.davidsterry.com/w/jiTni1ohuWWp2pB1NTWSnGhttps://video.davidsterry.com/static/thumbnails/5a400ffb-74aa-4437-8bc0-f60b596abe4e.jpgDriving in San Francisco - Golden Gate Bridge (May 6, 2020)Driving along 101N over the Golden Gate Bridge during shelter-in-place order. 1:09 Presidio 1:46 Golden Gate Bridge 2:40 Second Tower 4:30 Robin Williams Rainbow Tunnel 6:22 Sausalito Filmed May 6th, 2020 around 2:00 PM.

We make a right onto Santa Clara St. and pass San Pedro Square on our left followed by City Hall on the right. After downtown, we enter more of a suburban area with an old-style Wienerschnitzel restaurant on the right and Roosevelt Park on the left. The video ends just after making a right on King Rd. No music, no commentary, just natural driving and environmental sounds as the camera is mounted outside on the windshield with some sound protection against wind noises. Feel free to turn off the sound and enjoy the sights with your own musical selection. Filmed May 8th, 2020 around 11:00 AM.

Since getting the MyCroft Mark II a third-party operating system called NeonOS seems to be the future for the device. This is my experience of setting up and trying to use NeonOS.
