Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

  1. Can I contact you?

    2. Of course! I generally respond to all DMs/emails since I don't get many of them, just note that I might not be able to respond straight away.

  2. Are you down for a collab?

    3. Yes, in fact I've done collabs in the past. Just shoot me an email/DM pitching your idea.

  3. Why didn't you reply to my YouTube comment?

    4. I get a lot of them. A lot of the comments I get are big paragraphs or phrased as a question that I can't always give a simple yes/no answer to without elaborating.

  4. You made a video about Windows! You're a fencerider!

    5. Fenceriders act neutral to avoid controversy. I'm honest about the fact I don't like Windows or proprietary software, but I don't flip out every time I see it because that's just silly. Also, talking about Windows doesn't mean I'm endorsing it because context matters.

  5. Why is there no RSS feed for your blog?

    6. My articles page isn't a blog. The articles are on a whole range of subjects so you probably don't want to receive articles for things that are irrelevant to you.

  6. Will you discuss politics?

    7. Unless it's relevant to my channel's theme, the answer is no.

Site Questions

  1. Why is this site so dull/ugly?

    2. It's designed to be minimal and somewhat privacy-respecting. I don't use Google Fonts which means the site will likely look different depending on your OS. Also, only one page on this uses JavaScript (TazSearch). I have another web design in consideration... here's a sneak peak (contains proprietary Google Fonts).

  2. What VPS provider do you use?

    3. I use Contabo. Prior to Contabo, I was using Vultr.

  3. Would you host anything like a public Nextcloud instance, Email, or Git Server?

    4. Probably not. Storing other people's data means I'm personally liable for it.

Sponsorships

I get quite a few sponsorship emails for a small channel. I advise you read this before offering to sponsor a video. I'm quite picky about sponsors, which is why I haven't accepted any yet:
