one of the reasons i try and remember to download playlists or all videos from a channel in at least 480p dates back when a zen landscaper/lawn maint/mower guy's videos got wiped because people doxxed his clients. He was, to us, the audio-visual equivalent of an anti-anxiety medication. He had a "dingo" style mower, where you stand on an articulating platform; behind something that looks like the things they use to wax/clean floors in markets with tile floors.

I hadn't seen many (if any) videos, prior to his, where someone would go "clean up" around either abandoned or neglected properties (like a rental off season or something) - weed-eating the sidewalks and shoveling. It's more common now, i see several different creators doing similar videos now; and things like powerwashing driveways, the carpet ones (those are pretty zen if you like gross, unidentifiable liquids), and a few others.

The closest thing i've found to his stuff is Andrew Camarata (@ on YT), but their videos are much louder in general.

anyhow, all this to say - it spurred me into action. I started using "home server" stuff shortly after.
