45Drives hasn't sent me any hardware and I still think they're neat

Let's talk about 45Drives, why I like their open source Cockpit modules, as well as their tutorials and documentation about open source projects. I think it's rare to have a corporation care this much about open source. From my outsider view as someone who has never been sent anything from 45Drives, I think it's refreshing. And I want to talk about it! This video was not sponsored, 45Drives has not only (to date) not sent me any hardware, but we've had no business dealings at all: no money changing hands, no free trips to see their factory, nothing like that. Again, this is as of filming: can't predict the future! :) Patrons and Ko-Fi members make Veronica Explains possible: - https://patreon.com/VeronicaExplains - https://ko-fi.com/VeronicaExplains Links referenced in the video: - The 45Drives website: https://www.45drives.com/ - And @45Drives is on YouTube (it's a great channel). - Their file sharing Cockpit module: https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-file-sharing - FTC disclosures for social media influencers: https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/disclosures-101-social-media-influencers - The older of the two ZFS modules from 45Drives: https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-zfs-manager - And the newer one they're building from scratch: https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-zfs - Friend of the channel Tom gave me permission to share his clips here, go check out his channel if you're not already subscribed: @LAWRENCESYSTEMS - My blog post where I go into a bit more detail about how to install these modules: https://vkc.sh/45drives-cockpit/ Chapters: 0:00 45Drives hasn't sponsored me in any way... so far 3:00 What is Cockpit anyway? 4:54 Looking at two 45Drives modules for Cockpit 6:17 But...
