what movie has the greatest turnaround. Like all hope is lost, people are fleeing or whatever, and something happens, then everyone rallies and of course wins the day....
If I had a time machine I'll just go to the past and tell them: "I come from the future to tell you that we have built a web that allow us to immediately share our thoughts across the globe interconnecting humanity, and We all think you suck" then jump onto my machine and disappear into another time to spread the message.
Sorry, I don't know if it is documented anywhere, but in summary the project started with bcache (block cache) from a single developer (Kent Overstreet A.K.A Evil Pie Pirate) in 2010 that explained he was building a module for the Linux Kernel.
Bcache is a method of using a fast ssd drive as a caching mechanism for slow but large hdds. As is, the project was quite ambitious but then, when the developer was working in an evolution of bcache (kind-of lessons learned re-implementation), the project grew into a general-purpose POSIX filesystem.
Considering the origins of the most popular file system implementations, expecting a single individual being successful creating a general-purpose one sounded over ambitious.
Then in 2013, out of the blue, Kent left Google to solely work in this project. (In reality though, he spent two years later in Datera as well.)
Then, how do you finance a single developer for a file system from 2013 onwards up to today, when it finally merged into the kernel?
Patreon. The whole thing was financed through it.
That said, there are other collaborators like Daniel Hill, Dave Chinner or Brian Foster, yet what's surprising is how this started as a side project and eventually became the main competitor of corporate-developed file systems by Patreon funding.
Note: A bit of hype-control here, btrfs which would be the main "competitor" was merged into kernel 14 years ago, so bcachefs still has a long way to go before we can trust it with our data.
Climate Town - Does a decent job explaining climate-related topics and still makes them interesting.
Jay Foreman - Very funny map trivia.
JerryRigEverything - A bit too much promotion on some stuff, but really comprehensive tear downs.
MIT OpenCourseWare - learn good.
Pop Culture Detective - Deconstructive pop culture tropes that make you think a lot.
SNES drunk - retrogaming (not just SNES) but well done, 0% additives just prime content.
stacksmashing - electronics trivia and hardcore reverse engineering.
The National Gallery - If you're into history, this is an excellent channel about art trivia. I'm not much into art and this is always top quality for me.
Tom Scott plus - Tom Scott does British telly stuff like playing board games or chasing people on the streets with an apple tag.
Voices of the Past - This is slow, exhaustive history for nerds. Worth it if you want to let the story wash all over you.
Vox - slightly left leaning great journalism, albeit sometimes too brief to explain complex topics.
Weird History - They get some stuff wrong, but it's still entertaining.
Project Farm - Wanna buy an angle grinder? Now you do.
Insider - Had a series of "How Real Is It?" videos that let professionals describe stuff seen in movies, and it is both entertaining and a learning experience.
Corridor - Some stuff of dubious quality but if you're interested in FX, it's good.
LegalEagle - Law is hard, but is law fun?
brian david gilbert - Existential horror camouflaged as comedy.
PBS Space Time - Good but hard space science.
BurtBot - Orcs with normal voices.
Joel Haver - Neat if you're into deadpan humor.
Taskmaster - Probably some of the best british television available in YT.
Bonus round:
Practical Engineering - How stuff is built but explained well enough that even I can understand it.
Plus, use FreeTube, not You Tube. Don't be a slave of their terrible algorythm and all the recommendations will turn out to be of your taste.
