Why you should #pivotfromvideo back to text:

Text is easier to make. Text is easier to maintain. Text is at least an order of magnitude cheaper to host. When I screw up, I'd rather edit a text file than re-edit and re-upload a video, or have to add "PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION."

Text is more accessible. I'd rather prepare text and alt-text for images than transcribe a whole video or podcast (or drain a few more gallons of Earth's water for AI to do it).

I have been a proud user of landchat.net, the best guide I have found to setting up a basic web server. There are a few additions I would make, such as disabling ssh access for root, so I am writing my own guide.

A few people on Fosstodon are tired of video tutorials, a feeling that I share. My guide, just like landchat.net, will be text. There may be a few images with alt-text. Call it a #pivotfromvideo
