Louis Rossman is a good one although it’s pretty focused on MacBook repairs.

Also I do appreciate the feedback, I have tamed down the ads on the site- I’m usually behind my pihole so didn’t realise quite how annoying they were.

Whilst the ad revenue normally doesn’t even cover the hosting costs of the site - which isn’t even expensive! It does give me the motivation to write more content. If you don’t like ads feel free to use an Adblock - I use https:/&#x2F

The board already has spi flash but it’s only 8 or 16mb. Enough for buildroot or maybe openwrt but Debian ain’t going to fit in there.

It doesn’t, it’s Linux only for now. Unless someone builds uboot for bsd. Even then there would be a huge amount of work to do to get it running stable.
