Here are some channels, music, and other videos that I like a lot. I don't know how much I'm going to update this, YouTube sucks now, and not just because of the dumb shit ID verification thing they want to do. You should probably give up on YouTube, even if I think the channels and videos on this page are quite good.

You may want to look into yt-dlp to download videos.

Updated December 10th, 2025.

Channels:

clabretro - tech Youtuber that messes around with a lot of cool enterprise gear, stuff like Cisco, IBM, and Sun hardware. I think the only videos I haven't liked from him were when he messes around more with consumer gear since he's surprisingly unfamiliar with it (to the point where he has far more SCSI disks than IDE ones, which has been an issue multiple times). I really like his videos on setting up the Sun thin clients like the Sun Ray
Usagi Electric - VERY cool tech Youtuber with some incredibly rare and old systems, most notably a fully working Centurion minicomputer setup. I remember starting watching him around when he first got the thing, and I never actually expected it'd be fully functional to the state that it's in. Incredibly impressive all around. He's very into vacuum tube systems too, having built his own 1-bit vacuum tube computer, and he has restored a Bendix G15 vacuum tube system from the 50s. Incredible stuff.
Tasting History with Max Miller - food history channel with stunningly good presentation. Probably my favorite cooking channel of them all.
いろいろな日本語 (iroiro na nihongo) - Japanese immersion learning channel that gets you into things fully in Japanese. Everything, with very few exceptions, is taught in Japanese. I particularly like his videos on reading the Yotsubato! manga.
OLD SCHOOL HARDCORE - absolute legend of a channel archiving hundreds of classic hardcore and other techno sets.
ATARIHAZURE Omoshiro TV II - Japanese retro game channel (enable subtitles) that showcases cool, sexy, and dramatic things in classic video games. Just someone who loves games and being a Japanese channel that has English subs, documents a few things that might be better known in Japan but aren't really talked about outside the country.
Sandwiches of History - fun channel where a guy makes various sandwiches and tries to plus them up a little. Lots of weird sandwiches here, a surprising amount described as tasting good but I haven't been willing to follow along with him and try them.
blurtic - Very good rhythm game player. I mostly watch for IIDX/BMS stuff, but he does a lot.
leonid - Extremely good Pop'n Music player. It is both inspiring and terrifying to watch someone who is very skilled at Pop'n.

Music:

Toki pona cover | 少女A [Young girl A] - very good cover in Toki Pona. I kinda forgot how depressing the lyrics in this song are until hearing this cover, since I'm not yet able to understand very many songs in Japanese.
RAINBOW GIRL （ver.棒人間） w/eng subs. - ridiculously catchy song about a 2D girl falling in love with someone on the other side of the screen.
HIDE/SEEK - song by tart using SynthV Teto. Very good stuff. I really want to buy Teto now, but I'm cheap and have spent too much money already.
if incubus wrote "AERIALS" - cover by mac glocky that sounds absolutely perfect. Check out his other stuff too.
Megurine Luka - Tako Luka Maguro Fever (Project Diva 2nd) - this song has been stuck in my head, and it should get stuck in yours too.
Bad Brains - House of Suffering - absurdly intense stage presence by the legendary H.R. Honestly, everyone there is killing it, Bad Brains kicks ass.
Scanner - Terminal Earth - cool-ass speed metal song by Scanner. Most of the other songs on album are decent, although generally not as good as their previous album, Hypertrace.

Videos:

[IIDX] How to play 革命 (DOUBLE ANOTHER) - really impressive IIDX play, using 7 keys and 2 turntables.
Old man parks his car - imagine doing this every time you came home, lmao.
Doom Deathmatch - decino versus John Romero - kick-ass duel between decino and Romero on Doom 2 MAP01. Romero proves he's still really legit in deathmatch, but decino also proves that he's way too good at Doom.
Pokemon from the NPC Trainer's POV - a hiker on the mountain encounters the player character, and knows that kid is trouble. Pretty funny.
Pushing Dial-up Modems Further Than We EVER Thought Possible - extremely high-speed multilink PPP modem setup that's fast enough to stream YouTube at 240p by using a ridiculous amount of dialup modems.
