New on Veronica Explains - Word of the Week!
This week, we'll be defining "backporting".
Backporting is when an older software package receives an update from a newer version of the same software.
Software developers frequently backport important fixes from new to old versions of their work- it's vital to understand for any Linux sysadmin!
Oh, and if you want to help me make more videos, please check out support.linux.mom. Thank you!

A short video, without being a YT Short. I like this much better because you can't cast a Short and I'm not always watching on my phone.

@VeronicaExplains Жыл бұрын

Yup, that's exactly the scenario I was thinking about when I decided to do it this way. Plus, Shorts seem designed around being ephemeral and disappearing into the timeline- I wanted to make something a bit more... bookmarkable? That way I could refer back to it in future videos.

I find shorts annoying because they loop and stuff.

@kenzieduckmoo Жыл бұрын

the weird thing is it wont cast shorts, but you can watch shorts on the tv app just fine. shouldnt have to matter if i used the button on my phone or remote to make it play

I love that example. It reminds me of the Buick our family had. We had an 8 track to tape adaptor that we plugged a tape to 2.5 adaptor into and hooked that into a CD player.

Man you deserve waaay more views and subs! You are AMAZING both at being in front of a camera, explaining things in a way all can understand and have a charisma!

I love your visual example, specifically the iPhone section. I also noticed your boombox appears to also be a TV. I tried using some smart TV apps on a 1940s TV (coincidentally also an Emerson) and ran into some slight issues.

My boombox is a TV! I'm planning a video on it someday- I always loved these things growing up and found one at a thrift store a bit ago.

A non linux example: (when itunes existed in macos) Apple updated itunes for older versions of macos to be in line with the latest macos (for a few years). the version of itunes in macos 10.7 (2011) was updated with all the features and bug fixes of newer macOS versions until 2015

I had 8 track to cassette adapter with a cassette to 3.5mm jack hooked to a portable CD player...those were great times. Lol

Thanks for that explanation.

Just purely excellent, as always!

+ I also really love that this is NOT a YT Short...

Thanks David! It was fun and pretty simple to work into my existing video routine. Doing it as a short felt like it was going to make it harder to bookmark- I'd prefer these videos to be a resource that works outside of the typical social media "just keep your eyes glued" context. :)

Way too simplistic explanation. Do tell them that back-porting is not simply recompile or just a few changes. Sometimes back-porting is hard, slow and a total pain if for example, the language, tooling, versions or environment are different, etc.

@VeronicaExplains Жыл бұрын

I don't think I said backporting was a simple task? It's a "word of the week" definition, not a full tutorial or anything.
