 This video is mainly for my Patreon supporters and as normally you guys get to vote on topics that are coming up and I'm going to give you three options and I'm going to tell you right off the bat that the first option is the one I'm hoping you pick, which is on home automation. Recently, I purchased myself a small smart plug, which is $15 to $20. I want to do tutorials on getting a root shell on this, customizing your own web interface for it and how to control it through your smart phone and give it more functionality than it originally came with. Also have a couple of these IP cameras, they're cheap little motorized cameras with night vision and microphones and speakers and I just want to do some tutorials again, getting a root shell on these and controlling them because Linux is everywhere and it continues to quietly take over the world as it invades people's houses even though they don't realize it and you as a Linux user or anyone who's familiar with Unix-like or Unix operating systems, you can control so much with a little bit of knowledge and I'd like to share that knowledge with these devices so the first option is home automation and not only will I go over these two devices, if I get a chance towards the end of it I'd like to get into using a Raspberry Pi and some relay switches on so you can create your own little smart plug to control devices where you're running a full system on a Raspberry Pi and you can turn lights on and off. So that's your first option, the first option is home automation. Second option is just some GIMP tutorials if you want to see a little bit of fun things you can do with GIMP that would be a second option and the third option is some Blender tutorials, I'll go over some tips and tricks with Blender. So three options, home automation, 2D editing with GIMP or 3D editing with Blender 3D. So go ahead if you're a Patreon supporter you shall receive a link to vote already so go ahead and check that out and vote and again I'm telling you right now I'm hoping you pick this one because it's quite fun being able to control these cheap devices at $15 to $20 for one of these plugs and it's a full Linux computer that you can control hardware with how great is that so go ahead make your vote if you're not a Patreon supporter consider becoming one it helps me create videos it helps me allow me to set apart time to make these videos and also gives you a little bit of say you get videos early you get downloadable videos without any ads and you also get depending on what category you're in you get to vote and those also occasional rewards and certain you know physical rewards they can get mail to you like maybe something like this so head over to patreon.com forward slash mail x1000 there should be a link in the description of this video if you're not a Patreon supporter and considering even if it's a dollar a month that's something so as always thank you for watching please visit my website film site chris.com as always I hope that you have a great day okay this is an introduction to filmsbychris.com I'm Chris that's Chris the K that's me right there my daughter ember and my wife Jennifer we pretty much live in the swamps of Florida I'm a firefighter by day as well as by night we work long hours but that's not why you're here you're here about the videos I put up on YouTube these videos are mainly about computers and programming which means most of my videos look something like this and if that's what you're interested in great if not that's alright I do videos on other topics too such as video editing special effects photo editing 3d design and music creation if you are one of my viewers and you enjoy my videos my patreon page is a place where you can go to help support my videos so I asked that you take the time to go to my patreon page and look at different levels of rewards you can receive for different levels of backing there should be a link in the description of this video if you were watching it on YouTube otherwise you can visit patreon.com forward slash metal x 1000 and I thank you for your time and your support have a great day
