 Hey everybody, welcome back to Linuxcast. I'm your host Matt, and I'm joined by, wait a minute, hold on a second. I do this fucking different every fucking week. It's fucking stupid. I'm including this. I'm joined by Tyler. He normally says his own name, but he can't do it today because apparently, I don't know. This is dumb. This podcast, Tyler, between the two of us, almost never happened, okay? Yesterday, Jackass over there was sleeping. Yup. So I'm here, as he says, it's three o'clock and then it's 3.15. I'm like, Tyler, where are you at? And Tyler, where are you at? And I never did get an answer till like six o'clock. I was sound asleep. Shit happens. So I recorded a solo one yesterday, just on my own. I'd done that before Martin started with me, and it was fine. And it turned out well. And I went to edit it last night and the damn thing, I realized that I deleted the video. Like I had the audio, but I deleted the video and I did that. So for months, I've had people asking me to do a Rofi theming tutorial. And I spent over an hour working on that yesterday and it just would not come out. I was so pissed off at the end of it. I deleted every video in my video folder because usually when I'm done with a video, I transferred over to the other hard drive into a proper folder, but OBS always puts them in the videos folder while they're recording. And I was pissed off at the Rofi one, so I deleted all of them, not even thinking for a minute that my podcast one was still in there. Yeah. So that podcast, that solo podcast is up in audio form only for patrons, if you want to listen to it. Because I bitched about Tyler for 20 minutes. I didn't actually do that. I did say some things like maybe he got stuck on a wagon. Perhaps there was a sheep or something. Maybe he got attracted to a sheep. Breeding. I'm pretty sure I also mentioned something about breeding like rabbits. You say you're going to do rabbits. Yeah, there was many insinuations of you having intercourse with your farm animals. Yeah. So the reason why I'm not prepared for this podcast at all is because now it's a day later and my mindset is not in podcast mode. So what we've decided to do is talk a little bit about our week in Linux and our week in general because we both have things to bitch about. And then we'll move on to the main topic, which is something very, very easy because anything of difficulty would be well beyond us at this point. So Tyler, after all that, what have you been up to this week? Well, to be honest, I well, I've been working on the wagon for most of the week. And then yesterday or the day before yesterday that night, I went over and hung out with a friend. We watched movies pretty much all night into the morning. Then I came back and did a little bit of stuff on the wagon. And I sat down in a recliner, which was a bad idea, and passed out and slept like a rock. Woke up was like, oh, shit, Matt, I'm sorry. And that was how yesterday went. Yesterday was I really felt bad yesterday, not only because I left you on your own, but also because I sort of stay up all night, ruin the day. I wasn't able to put the wheels on the wagon, which I have those. I'm going to do that at some point this afternoon. But then today was an absolute nightmare. So I said that I was going to be here at three. And like we are recording this at my time, it's a little bit after three. So we're recording. I was supposed to get off at work at two o'clock. I went in this morning, the truck got delivered, so I had to do all that. Then we had an inspector surprise inspection come. That was hectic. And then we had our busiest lunch we've ever had. We almost did a $500 lunch. It was an insane rush. And I mean, again, you got to think of it like this. We're selling mostly $6 sandwiches. So a $500 lunch rush is within an hour is insane. And then after that, we had apparently all of the band kids came into subway. So I was not able to leave until like almost three o'clock. Luckily, another kid came in and I'm like, look, I've got to go. You take over. I'm clocking out. Peace. Then I got stuck behind a bus getting here. Well, it sounds like you've had a very, very good day. Yeah. Yeah. So other than my recent, you know, deleting things that shouldn't be deleted. I've made the decision to use Emacs for a week. I saw that. I'll be 100% honest in saying that the week has not started yet. I have downloaded it, but I haven't done anything to it yet. Like I haven't had a chance to sit down. It's been my own very long day. I don't even really want to get into it. But just Emacs is going to be an interesting experience. I think that from the little bit I've looked at it like last night that I'll end up going to do Emacs because I'm going to miss them binding so bad. But that's going to be a thing. Well, actually, I think one person commented on your short and was like, to be like being completely honest, I think it's, I think he said evil mode or doom. Both are like pretty much necessary for them users. Yeah, I saw that too. There was only one person who said that I think it was Schmoyg or whatever the hell his name is who said I had to use vanilla. Otherwise, I won't be using the doing the true vanilla or Emacs thing, but I don't know. I'm very worried about it because it's going to be so different, but it'll also be an interesting experience. So also my next long-term review is going to be Fedora. So I got to install Fedora here pretty soon. So I may end up doing my Emacs and Fedora both at the same time. I should be doing. That's going to be interesting. Emacs on Fedora. That'd be very interesting to see how that goes. If everything goes well, I'll be recording the podcast next week from Fedora. If that doesn't. This is going to be interesting. Obviously, if I can't get everything to work, Wayland, I will be logging back into my Gruda instance because I guess I should talk about that because we didn't have a chance to talk about that. Last time we did a podcast, I was talking about how I was going to switch from Arco to Gruda to try to fix the keyboard issues. Turns out that is a hardware problem, not a software problem, which is very disappointing for me. It doesn't do it as often on Gruda as it did on Arco where it just randomly disconnected. And now it seems to be on first startup, like when I first boot up into my computer or when it comes back from sleep after a certain amount of time. Those are the only times it does it on Gruda. And in Arco, it did it like randomly, like all the time. So I don't know what the hell is going on there. It's really, really weird. I've tried literally everything. I've tried plugging into a different spot, tried different chords, tried different keyboards, and it still does. So it's obviously something wrong with the computer. But I'm honestly quite happy with my Gruda experience so far because everything just seems to work. It's almost like I'm using Arco but with much brighter colors. I'm using the dragonized version. So it has those ugly candy icon things. Those ugly icons that you're learning to love? They're fine. I switched out of them. I switched away from them though. It doesn't really matter because I don't use the KDE session anyways. I just installed DWM. So I'm still using my Dracula thing because I can't get away from it. It's so good. It's just so good. You're not wrong. I thought from it there because I'm still going to do that script where I can switch back and forth between things. And that script keeps growing in ambition. But I haven't started it yet. Maybe I'll do it in Emacs. Now I'm moving it into a D-Menu script or a Rofi script where I can just go through and choose a rice and then it will just switch. If I can manage that, it's going to be so cool. But I haven't started yet. So I keep talking about it. Like I'm going to do this eventually. So anyways, that's it for it. Oh man, I wish to move on to the contact information. I'm going to have to go back to this so I can actually look at it because I'm not going to remember shit. If you want to get in contact with us, you can do so at the Linuxcast on Twitter. You can subscribe to all of our feeds and stuff like that, including audio and YouTube from thelinuxcast.org. There are links to all the stuff right there if you want. Eventually, yes, there'll be a website. I say that every single week. Someday I'm going to just shock the shit out of everybody and say, hey, here's a website. It's all. Yeah, that's not going to happen. Anyways, you can contact us via email at email at thelinuxcast.org. You can support us on Patreon at patreon.com slash linuxcast. I'll thank our current patrons at the end of the show. You can find Tyler, who's getting, I mean, you're like 100 away now, right? Very close to 100 away from 1,000 subscribers. You can find his link to YouTube and Odyssey in the video description or in the show notes if you're listening to this on audio. And you can subscribe to the Linuxcast at thelinux... I missed this up yesterday, exactly the same way. You can subscribe to thelinuxcast... You can subscribe to thelinuxcast on YouTube at youtube.com slash linuxcast. We surpassed 5,000 subscribers this last week. So that was really exciting. Congrats. Yeah. Also shocking as hell still continues to shock me. Anyways, that is it for the contact information I managed through it even though I still fucked it up. Imagine that. All right, so we're skipping the news this week. We are not going... Usually we do news at this point, usually the news is the section that we bullshit the most on. So we're going to bypass that and we're going to move right on to our main topic, which is kind of two-fold. So we're going to talk about our favorite color schemes and we're going to talk about five apps that we absolutely can't live without. So that's our task for today. So we're going to start with color schemes and the rules here are that they have to be like named color schemes like Solarized. I don't think either one of us are going to choose Solarized, but I use that as an example. We can't just use one that we created because it, you know, that's not an official color scheme or whatever. I don't care. All right, so Tyler, what is your first color scheme that you really like? My first one, which I have a feeling both of us are going to at least say this. If not, this be our top favorite one for both of us. Mine is Dracula for my top color scheme. I think it's gorgeous. It's highly readable. It's just, it's so good looking, man. It's so good. Totally agree. And if you wonder what I'm doing on the drink, I got this gigantic water bottle. It's the most... Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. Is there a water in it? There is water in it, yes. Okay, because I watched Two Bears, One Cave in your mom's house and there's comedian Burt Kreischer who walks around with one of those and for the first time ever someone asked him what was in it and it was Kool-Aid. He had been walking around with that with Kool-Aid for forever. Everybody thinks he was healthy drinking water. It's water. It's okay. All right, so I ordered... I had a smaller one, but it started leaking. So I ordered this from Walmart and my dumb ass didn't realize that 64 ounces meant fucking huge. So this thing is the size of my head. Anyways, I totally agree with you on Dracula. It would also be my top choice probably. God. So I will agree with you on Dracula, but I won't use it from one of my... Oh, okay. I will say Grovbox. Grovbox is a very weird color scheme for me. I didn't like it at first. I just absolutely hated it. I'm not a big brown color guy. I don't care for the color brown. But then I tried it. I think I tried it on a stream or something like that, and man, it is gorgeous. It's so good. To be honest, I think you're the only person that's made Grovbox appealing to me. Before you, I tried it. I don't like it. Yeah, it's really good. You got to stay away from the yellows and stick with the darker colors. And the light version of Grovbox is just fuggly, so... I've never even looked at it. Yeah, it's not a good-looking color scheme. Anyways, your second one. My second one would... Now, this one might be weird for a lot of people because I don't normally use it. I haven't used it in a long time, but I do very much like it. It's the Nord color scheme, or the Nord theme. It's very simple. It doesn't have a lot of colors in it, but I do very much like the blue aesthetic of it. It's very nice. Yeah. If you don't like blue, you don't like Nord. Absolutely. The only colors they have, their variations are blue. So my second one would be One Dark. I like One Dark quite a lot. Even if it did originate as a... like a VS Code theme, that would just fine. I like it because, again, it's one of those blue themes, but it does have several other colors that just go really well with it. So One Dark is a favorite of mine as well. So your third one. My third one is actually going to be similar to... It has a similar type of aesthetic that Grubbox does, but it's actually the Minoke M-O-N-O-K-A-I theme. You can... If anyone isn't familiar with this theme, you can find it on terminal.sexy, but it's a great theme. It is brown sort of theme, but the colors in general, I really like them. They make reading terminals really, really good. I just don't like... Minoke is not a theme that I would use system-wide. I think it works really good inside of terminals by themselves. That's typically where I like to use it. Now, what about your last one? Okay, so my last one's going to shock some people. My last one is called Google. Google? It's called Google, because it has... All the colors are Google colors from the logo. Yeah, so it's called... Again, if you go to terminal.sexy and you choose the Google... It's the Google Dark color that I particularly like. It has the dark background, but all the rest of the colors are bright Google colors. Now, it has nothing to do with Google. They took those colors from Google. It's really good. I don't think that I would make a whole rice out of it, but it'd be an interesting thing to see what it would look like as a whole rice. It works really well in the terminal because it has the pure dark gray background and then uber bright colors. It just works really well in the terminal. It also works well with transparency because a lot of times, with Nord, if you have Nord, a lot of those softer green colors don't really work well with transparency. With the Google ones, they're all really bright. So it works well with transparent backgrounds. So it's good. All right. So I didn't want to... I don't think we could spend a lot of time on color schemes. We can only say so much about color schemes. That's why I chose only three and wanted us to just, you know, kind of fly through that section. But before we move on to apps, I've had an idea. And you know me and my ideas. Now, our next challenge is going to be next week where we talk about the GitLab thing. But the challenge after that is going to be a live challenge. There's going to be no preparation for that whatsoever. And what we're going to call it is the Rice Wars. And what we're going to do, I don't know if we'll be able to do this live, but we'll see. I don't know how we would do it live. I think we're going to have to try to figure out how to do it and just record it. But basically what we're going to do is we're both going to take a vanilla window manager. We'll choose which one later. It has to be the same one, but we'll choose whichever one. It can be DWM, it can be QTile, BSPWM, whatever. And we're going to rice the whole thing from beginning to end. Whoever does it fastest wins. Yeah, Rice Wars. I like it. We can also add in, if you want to make it a little more complicated, not just whoever gets to the end wins but also whoever makes the best looking rice. All it has to do is be the same window manager. We can choose different color schemes. Obviously, I think we'll say it can't be black and white. It has to have at least five colors. That way, you can't cheat and say black and white because then you only have to enter two color values for everything. So we'll have to come up with some rules. But I've been thinking about this for a while and I'm still not sure how we'll go about recording it and timing and stuff. We'll have to play around with it a little bit. But man, it sounds like a lot of fun. Dude, that does. I think that's going to be a lot more fun than the GitLab one that we're doing. That one's good. But Rice Wars? That sounds pretty fun. It's going to be one of those things where if it goes well, we'll do that again because it just sounds right up our alleys. We're both always doing rice streams. It's going to be I don't know how we'll record it. Maybe we'll simultaneously stream it on our channels. We'll start simultaneously. That'd be hard for people to watch both of them so I don't know. I'm not sure how we'll go through recording it because we're going to have to figure out how to record it for the podcast as well. So that's going to be a lot of PC power going into that one thing. So true. Anyways, now that I've had my idea time and my brain can go back to sleep let's talk about five apps that you could not live without. So, your first app. My first one is FFF. It's the Fucking Fast File Manager and I used to use Ranger then I used in and in for a bit and before all that I was using PCman FM. Now using FFF I genuinely cannot live without it. It uses VIM key bindings for everything. It's, I mean, the name is not wrong. It is fast as hell. And as far as I know most now I'm talking off memory here. I can't remember this. I might be completely lying but as far as I know it's written in primarily if not all bash. So it's it's just the best file manager I've found. I love it and that's my first app. Okay, I've never tried FFF. Now I've tried in and in. I didn't care for in and in because you do all the configuration stuff through environment variables and that always bothered me but yeah, I still just use Ranger. And it works. It really does. I have it pulled up in a scratch pad because of course I do and it just works. Anyways, my first one is going to be Rofi. You probably couldn't count the number of times a day I bring up Rofi in various different situations. Whether it's to bring up like the Rofi emoji thing where I can go through and choose from emojis or I bring up a couple different scripts that will lead me to different configuration files or literally just tons of different things that I use Rofi for and they're all amazing. I even when I was using desktop environments or whatever, I would want Rofi there because it's the best menu system bar none. Now I understand a lot of people like Dmenu and there's nothing wrong with Dmenu but I really don't feel like going through and patching Dmenu. I have no interest in going through and patching that so Rofi is just the way it is. Now as I talked about the beginning, like I think I did it after we started recording theming it I can't do a tutorial on it because apparently it makes me delete things unnecessarily so Rofi is my first one. For my second app I have to be completely honest mine is Flameshot. I know we've talked about it before but just in case anyone hasn't seen those or hasn't heard us talk about it, Flameshot is a great GUI application for taking screenshots taking annotations drawing arrows on screenshots. You can take a screenshot using Flameshot and then edit it up and save it very fast. I really like it. To be honest it is one of those tools where you start using it you forget that you use it all the time like you genuinely do but I will go ahead and say Flameshot is one of those programs where if you're going to use it you probably want to have a sys tray just saying. Yeah I don't have a sys tray and I use it all the time so. Again you don't need one but it is nice because it will keep running in the background and so. That's true but also if you want the other functions of Flameshot where you just take a picture of a screen or something like that the sys tray really does help but if all you do like for me all I ever do is the exact same thing over and over again where it takes the screen. Yeah so I have that to a key binding and that's how I do it. Now I understand that it's probably running in the background without me knowing it but I don't really care. Then again it's also Flameshot it's a screenshot tool so like it's eating up RAM in the background. Even if it was I probably still use it because it's really really good. When I was doing the OpenSUSA review a couple of times I needed to take a screenshot and I kept because my key binding for Flameshot is CTRL ALT and S and I kept hitting that like Flameshot where the hell are you at? I forgot that I didn't have the key binding for it or I didn't even have it downloaded and it was like I lost an arm or something because I mean I just off topic for just a minute but do you have a folder where you keep all your screenshots? Yeah. I'm pretty sure everybody does Linux and stuff like that because you're always taking screenshots. I mean that thing has to be like 10 gigabytes full. It's just a crazy number of screenshots. I did go through and organize them by year so that you are real organized over there. My file structure dude is anal retentive in terms of organized. It's the most organized part of my entire life. So stupid. I have to have everything in its place on the file system. That's why snaps drive me so bad because they put the snap folder in the home directory like that just goes against everything OCD in my whole brain and just freaks me out and immediately have to delete it. So every time I do the apps of the week thing we're totally getting off tangent but whatever. Every time I do the apps of the month thing there's always one that I have to download as a snap like the last time there was one app that was only available as a snap. So first of all stupid fucking developer. I hate you so damn much. Second of all so I had to download snap use that, record the video and then immediately uninstall snap because that fucking stupid goddamn piece of shit folder in my home folder home directory. God I'm so mad. Speak it. Anyways so Flameshot is great. So my next one is going to be God it's really hard to choose. I should have I should have had these written down just chosen beforehand but my next one is going to be VimWiki I pretty much keep all my notes now in VimWiki. It used to be ZimWiki. ZimWiki is a gooey version of VimWiki. It's good but I decided that because I want to translate everything to Vim I decided to download VimWiki and it's just fantastic for organizing notes. Now again, it's another place where I'm just Uber organized That's okay. I like how we both smile. The one week we forgot to silence the phones. I'm going to do it now. Anyways I I remember what I was talking about. VimWiki just has a ton of features and if you're into Markdown at all you can go through and keep your notes in Markdown and I just love the linking structure like you can go through and link to different pages it does have some flaws like if you're in the same VimWiki and you name two different links and two different structures the same thing the newest one will link to the oldest one so that's a big bug and it really drives me nuts side of that it's fantastic so that's VimWiki it's a plugin for Vim anyways your third one my third tool or app that I use all the time would have to be MPV and I bring up MPV and most of us already have a video you know player audio player whatever most people are probably using VLC and I use VLC for the longest time but I just I was talking to giving MPV a try and it really is a night and day difference between VLC it's much better it just is it is much better however VLC I mean it's got it it's got its own pros like look everything's got pros and cons but if you haven't tried out MPV and you need something to play music play videos MPV is most likely going to be the thing for you it is rock solid yeah it's good alright my next one is Nemo now Nemo is a graphical file manager and it is by far the best one and I will fight anybody who says otherwise it is so good now I would make the argument that Dolphin would give it's a run for his money if you didn't have to download the entire fucking KT stack in order to use it now it won't be that big of a deal for me because I have KT installed but if you don't and you want to use Dolphin you have to have literally almost all of KT in order to I mean use Dolphin so Nemo is the best one where you don't have to do that and I love it because it has a ton of features it's fast so it's not going to be like Nautilus where literally eats your entire ram all your ram and it has dual pane mode now there are several file managers out there that has dual pane mode but I use dual pane mode literally all the time my Nemo never goes out of dual pane mode and almost all the main one have Dolphin I think has dual pane mode I know PCman FM does but I think PCman FM would be really good but when you have it in dual pane mode it's this stupid thing where the pane that's not focused is highlighted and the thing that is focused isn't highlighted and it's not just like highlighted around the board the whole entire pane is highlighted it's the dumbest thing ever so yeah Nemo is fantastic I really wish that Linux would allow you to let have a system wide file picker where we have like an open dialogue in like Firefox or whatever your chosen file browser would come up that'd be so cool unfortunately you can't do that so it means that every single file every single application has its own file picker so some of them are going to be GTK based some of them are going to be Qt based and then there's going to be whatever the gimp uses because nobody knows it's so fucking stupid I mean it's literally the only app that uses one that looks like that and it's trash anyways Nemo is my third one your fourth one my fourth one is going to be Dunst Dunst is a notification out it's for well giving notifications the great thing about Dunst Dunst I really like it because it's very easy to customize to get looking exactly how you want it to look and to be honest when it came to using like tiny window managers if they didn't have a notification thing system built in which again most of them don't I don't really know that there's more than maybe one or two that do have one I think awesome has one but most of them don't and so I didn't use one for a long time and I gotta be honest I can't go back to living without notifications and I can't go on and use something that's going to be less intuitive to customize than Dunst is good I haven't customized my Dunst in a while I think it's still using the grubbox theme I kind of forgot about it alright so my next one it's going to be between two alright I'm going to go with Pulse Mixer now you wouldn't think that an audio choose your application would be all that interesting but if you know anything about Linux and audio you know that when you deal with a lot of sources Linux sucks in terms of audio like every time you plug in a new source or you need to change source or something that it's not a good experience because Pulse Audio randomly chooses different sources when it feels like it I mean it's just the dumbest thing and it doesn't happen all the time but every once in a while you'll notice at the beginning of the like if we do a live show Tyler will notice that I tap my microphone to make sure that I'm actually recording from my microphone because sometimes Pulse Audio has switched to the microphone on the webcam which is just I mean first of all why do webcams have fucking microphones thank you I mean if you're not going to do something good don't do it at all let me save 20 bucks by not having microphone you know it makes so much more sense anyways Pulse Mixer is a terminal based application allows you to control Pulse Audio not only volume but also default sources and I have it attached to a scratch pad because of course I do so I picked I super brings up Pulse Mixer and I can go through and change to the source where I can make sure the source that I need is automatically there I don't have to worry about having a GUI back end to Pulse Audio which is was that P-A-C-T-L control or something I don't know that's what I used to do it and I had to open up Rofi open up that thing hunt through the tabs to find the certain place that I needed to search for Pulse Mixer just has that in the terminal and as we all know anything in the terminal is automatically better yep true story facts anyways your fifth and final one I think I think we're in the fifth final one yep so my final one is actually going to be a very simple program that again I think we've talked about before if we haven't most people know about it see must if you're looking for a music player a dedicated music player and you want something that's customized it's I wouldn't say highly customizable like I know some people would debate me there see must is pretty customizable but I don't think it's it might be very customizable but it's not as easy as something as a lot of other things like Ranger is a little bit more easy to customize get do a whole bunch of different things with but that being said SEMA it won't for one Ranger and see must are two totally different things but either way of see must is a very good music player and it's honestly surprised me with how fast it can pull in a large music directory I thought that it was probably going to have a little bit more issue but I've used it my music library is not massive but I've had friends have much larger music libraries than me and it does a good job of pulling it in pulls it in really fast so yeah if you're looking for a music player see must is my favorite one see must is not my favorite but I think it's because I fought tooth and nail to set up NCMP CPP I think I got that name right and that's a that's a front end for MPD which is good but it's harder in hell to set up because there's no good tutorials out there and I probably should take care of that and make it actually a good tutorial but I have no clue how I got it set up right I did ages ago now just a matter copying my config files over but yeah that's the one that I use it's like I think it's better because it is uber customizable like way more than see must is and you know me in racing so anyways my last one is I don't want to choose a not a proprietary one but I'm going to have to so my last one is get cracking now I don't use get as prolifically as like a developer would but I go through and have a ton of repos that I have most of them dot files and stuff like that and I'm also not the most proficient at using get in the terminal I couldn't tell you how to set up an SSH key for get I figured it out one time and then I distro hopped and could never figure it out again so I I'm sure it's easy I just don't want to do it because laziness why so I was looking into front ends forget and there's a couple of them one of them is called lazy get that's terminal based and I use that for a while but it's not intuitive like at all and so I looked at get cracking get cracking is proprietary but it's also really good I mean it's like literally the most intuitive thing you've ever set up you you connected to your github account has all your repos there if you want you can attach them to folders that are already on your repositories that are already on your computer it syncs them up you can go through and do everything you would normally do with get including track issues do like side-by-side comparisons and stuff like that the diffs so I mean you can literally do everything you do can do on get right in a gooey now normally I'm not a gooey guy but this is one of those things where I've attached to a scratch pad because of course I did and it's just it's there it's so good yeah so let's get cracking and you get all the features free like they have a paid account but you don't need it I mean you can do all the stuff I wish that it was open source but it is not sadly so that is it for our apps I'm going to go ahead and have a skip the pics of the week because well Tyler used his that's okay so we'll save those for another time we can end this podcast under an hour under 45 minutes probably for the first time in ever ever ever and now they included a couple you know a couple tangents but nothing you know I mean we can have a podcast without at least one I mean they'd be they'd be worried about us I mean there'd be obviously something wrong somebody would be holding us odds or something alright anyways before we go I should take a moment to thank my current patrons Devon, Chris, East Coast Web Gen 2 it's fun too Patrick, Ellen Marcus, Megalyn, Jax, Knife Tool, Steve a Mitchell, Arch Sinner, Merrick, Camp Joshua Lee, J-Dog and the BSTs Rock coming up next week is challenge week it's not going to be that cool Rice Wars thing but we're going to be we've been challenged by Tyler to install GitLab and host it ourselves I believe that was the challenge right so just a brief update have you started yet yes and no I have started getting a docker image of GitLab running however I have run into an issue on it and so I'm going to have to get rid of well I'm going to have to get rid of another docker image and then try and redoing it with docker and if that doesn't work screw it I just won't use docker I'll just set it up myself okay so I haven't even looked at how to do it yet so I have not started but that's because I've been cobbling together the hardware that I need to do it I was just going to do it on a laptop back there another computer like a desktop computer but I needed a monitor but I didn't want to spend money on an actual brand new monitor so I'm going to use an old 27 inch HP the problem is that computer the graphics card doesn't have any VGA board so I had to develop an adapter it came today so my evening after I edit the podcast and record another video will be spent pulling that laptop off from the standing desk hauling the monitor rebuilding that computer because it's going to need to be clean and stuff and then figuring out a distro that I want to use to put on there probably like a boon-do or something because I'm going to use it as a little bit of a server and then I can get started on the challenge now that you've mentioned docker I'm scared to death because I've never once in my entire life used docker before well I will go ahead and cull your fears because I was really scared about docker docker makes setting up stuff like next cloud and get lab very simple you install docker and then you will go to docker hub I think is what it's called and you'll get images from there and you just essentially use like docker install and then the whatever it is like there'll be a command or app that you want to get like you can go to docker hub search get lab and then it'll tell you like it'll have a command that you copy paste in the terminal and it'll have docker install get lab for you and then you can go through and learn how to run the docker image and then set up or interact with a docker image from there I'm less scared now but I'm still fearful of it because it just kind of it seems scary so I've never done that before so that'll be very interesting to see now we will have to talk before next week to see how we're going to actually are we just going to talk about it or we're going to try to go through and actually show this I'm not sure well I mean if you wanted to show yours we could do that I think it's going to be interesting to that machine or something and show some of the stuff well as soon as you get it up and running you should be able to go to like from your home network just type in that computer's IP address in the port and it'll probably be like port 8080 or something like that but you can actually go in there and you should be able to get a get lab website but it's just your dedicated repository over there yeah that's what we'll do then that'll be an interesting challenge this next week getting that set up nothing like saving it to the last minute as usual Wednesday night you realize I'm going to get on discord hey Tyler what do you think about pushing this back to another week you know that's going to happen right it's just it's just going to happen alright anyway so that is it for us this week if you haven't yet make sure you subscribe all that stuff and we'll see you next week bye
