Yeah I think a lot of those tech instructional channels use it to get around the language barriers.
The hardest part of making my videos is talking into the camera, hands down.
It's the part I dread the most too, but that's partially because I do it on the 2nd computer in the studio and every time I do it there's a whole process.
It also matters which camera I use.
But second hardest is simply recording the dialogue itself because it can come across too flat or like reading which I often am doing.
There's a long-running joke that having a British accent is a major positive for doing dialogue because so many Brits have major gaming channels etc.
And the sound of your voice is definitely a factor in the appeal of content like mine.
In the video I'm working on right now I used a website that lets you generate Keanu Reeves voice, but just so he can say "SystemD". Because I've edited in some humor based around the movie A Scanner Darkly which revolves around a drug called Substance D.

But doing it all these times, and realizing when it's not good enough is how I've gotten better. And everything else has improved with effort too. My thumbnails, my graphics etc. But I can edit and design more on a whim when I feel like it vs recording where I'm stopping everything to record.

What is HiveSQL for exactly?
I've done web dev before, and so I've managed MySQL or MariaDB and other SQL databases. Do you host your own Hive blockchain node? Is there a reward or payout of some kind for doing it?
And you mentioned figuring out Microsoft packages so does that mean you're needing to use Wine to run it on Linux? I'd think anything SQL-like would have a native Linux package.
