 Welcome to vlog Thursday 341 the crashing refers to me case you're wondering what's crashing I'm in a sling. I'll stand up here. So as people can see it that thumbnail is not clickbait I'm a slinging it I have lots of you know injuries on my left So I'm uh, but I'm all right, you know, I gotta make a few jokes about it But I have I crashed my motorcycle off-roading my fault because I'm the only one driving there was mud and I miscalculated the Peanut butter consistency of the mud and the speed and velocity at which I was traveling and then I hit the ground So there you go. So that's uh, the that's it's not really any more complicated than that The I don't know. I've got several broken ribs and a broken clavicle So that's it takes some time to heal. I'm gonna be in the sling for a minute. There you go. Now. We got that out of the way so let's see Hopes you didn't go by your first ever motorcycle with the sale proceeds ha ha ha Great video. No, I've been riding motorcycles for 30 years. It's actually um, I Talked it's fun. A few people said as many times as you've crashed. I'm like, yeah I've always crashed well and because you off-road you crashed if you're not crashing You're not trying and I'm always trying new things. I've Filmed my crashes, but there's times when you miscalculate and you're like, I thought I was gonna go into a role to go The goal is the physics problem you There's an amount of kinetic energy that you have and as long as you and the bike are attached That kinetic energy is going forward. You're fine but when the bike goes a different direction than you because the tire slips and that kinetic energy is then left with you And you're going in that same forward velocity You try to go into a role to dissipate the injury or to dissipate the energy, but I did not go into a role I I whacked the ground. So I always wear my protective gear. So no head injuries No lacerations, you know, I got no cuts on me. I got lots of bruises But all right enough about that. Let's get to tech Well, let's see tech is what Tom did say something about filling one's life experience didn't expect broken bones to be part of that life experience by the ticket take to ride It's a quote from Fear and loathing so, you know fun fun stuff to think about I'm very much a doer. So Where their choice words said actually if you're curious what actually happens because I'm a Preparedness type person is I crashed my motorcycle. I landed so hard I thought I had possibly punctured a lung because one lung wasn't working and I knew there was moments that I could be Conscious from the adrenaline but unconscious shortly and because I was in the woods I actually took the time to call immediately and Whisper because I like it really is whispered to my wife that I'm in a crash Keep an eye on my location. I will I will call you back and I hung up and then from there she was still talking But I was like I couldn't really get any more words out and then I messaged her real quick Then I took all my gear off try to figure out if I had a punctured lung I was feeling around I felt the broken bones and said, okay, this is bad and then I you know Move not so yeah, it's a I go into like a preparedness mode of what needs to happen next What are the next few things that had to happen? How you know if I'm really injured if you puncture a lung it could fill up, you know How am I gonna mitigate that? Should I lay on one side? Etc. Etc. You kind of work through those things because I don't I don't panic. I Process so turns out though with broken ribs. I rode out of the woods That's so they happen so yeah Yeah, I rode completely out of the woods myself. Um, I Drove it was nine mile 9.8 miles Very torturous miles. So I had the adrenaline going I had my jacket off because it was I had to jack it on It's just protective jacket, but I took it off because I didn't want a double injury arm and then I wrapped the jacket around the Rear of the bike with a bungee cord and I one-handed rode it out It's a 125 that has an automatic clutch and because if it wouldn't had an automatic clutch I would not be able to get out but I had an automatic clutch and I rode it out rode it out of the woods wrote it down the hill To where I was and made it to the main road and rode to the other few miles It was back to my house. So yeah, it was uh, that was an interesting ride I figured the fastest way to get to the hospital was not waiting in the woods where you can't get a car You could not get a vehicle where I was and I didn't want to walk out of the woods One I didn't like leave my motorcycle but two walking out of the woods would have taken a while and then Someone coming to get me. So I said, hey, I'll ride and once I got out of the woods I was gonna stop but I went further because I'm like I can still breathe Things are still going and I made it all the way home. So yeah just kind of uh You know, it's just a thing where I kept focus I think I have a picture because I came out of shock by the Adrenaline was lasting a while and I think it was in the hospital I took a picture of myself because I was noticing how dilated my eyes were so there's uh But I was at the hospital within about 35 minutes and I was I was taking some selfies. My wife was laughing at me. Um But yeah, then they sat me down and I realized how many bones I had broke because they started moving around and I'm like, okay I got some broken bones. So Which hey, why not we can share those two when we can throw those up there There's one of the pictures. That's the there you go for those. You don't know what a broken clavicle looks like All right So that's my story That's that's how it goes sometimes Things happen Things happen things happen worse when you're pushing. I'm uh 47 so But nonetheless, I still got in my uh 9000 steps so far today according to my watch. That's why I'm late. I was getting ice cream with my son We walked over to 7-Eleven to get some ice cream Oh, let's see The cost of having fun Uh, did you get an operation? No, I'm waiting to see if I heal up without it. I don't want any hardware in me I travel and I don't want to deal with tsa going. What's that in your arm? I have enough problems with the tsa They they they just don't like well, I you know, I got a belt I wear and things like that I got tsa pre, but I'm like, you know, it'll be a stupid problem. I don't want to deal with it. So Um, I'm fine not getting the surgery also I've never had surgery and this was the first time I've ever stayed in the hospital I've never stayed in a hospital before since I was born So well, not I I think I stayed overnight when I was born probably but that was the last time I stayed overnight in a hospital As a patient my kids were born. I was there, but that's different Oh, really? I didn't allen has a uh Okay, yeah So I'm doing the right choice Jason's telling me because if you have an artificial knee apparently they don't like you either So I I'm fine living without extra metal pieces in my body. I mean normally that sounds cool Make me enhanced with metal reinforcements But also if you travel like I do you're gonna go the tsa is like you You just became our special person of the day The um my the people who work with me jason slagolas, he's learned uh, I don't stop and even though I was in the hospital I you know sun stay in the hospital Next day I was still messaging people and telling people what happened and we're applying the emails and doing The things I do because I I don't I'm stuck. I'm a captive audience Stuck in the hospital. So I just kept working and then I even did a video already in the sling I've got a few others that I'm kind of in the process of uh finishing up. So What are we gonna do? It's the only thing that's really hanging me up is man How do people function as typers who do this? Like I realized that their interaction with technology is a lesser experience than mine I type relatively fast and typing with one hand like this has made me go. Well, that's why they hate computers They're they're interfaced with the computer is painful. It's it's a unpleasant experience Oh, you always get to have the millimeter scan no more metal detector uh All right, we'll start let's uh Oh first I wanted to mention this before I got off topic I want to bring up this topic because one you guys have been following uh This was a great video. Uh these this is jason slagle and brett And I'm going to post some videos under two. I've been I've been trying to catch up But I have a couple ideas. I've been starting to really write things down and focus now the mergers So much more complete Thanks to the hard work that jason slagle and matt and brett and everybody on the you know That we're all one big team at cnwr are doing. We're getting integrated quite fast Some things are going faster than expected, but there's some things that were Unexpected and we have a video on that over on business technicalities. I'm going to drop a link for you Right here in the chat So if you guys can watch that later subscribe to the business technicality channels But it's called things we didn't consider in a merger Now we both did our due diligence and we knew all the systems and the differences in the systems we used And we thought we knew how to integrate those systems turns out we didn't but we figured it out And we got them integrated still and I think a reasonable amount of time. So the uh, it is 20 we merged on july 1st. It is now dended july here at july 27th and uh You know, so we we have a lot figured out But they we have a good discussion between brett and jason about what what those challenges were how to overcome them So if any of you are thinking about any of that and by the way Follow the business technicality channels because we talk about the tech business over there and uh, it's great So And yeah, tom crashing was not considered. There you go. There's uh, that was definitely an unexpected piece of the merger Definitely something extra For one hand of typing you should get a 10 11 inch laptop with the keyboard size It's slow, but we can reach the control all at once. It's easier to type one handed. Yeah Yeah, so that's definitely a thing What you're gonna do Yes, share this tab instead so i'll answer someone's question right away I did not patch because they're only an hour old but tonight I will patch xcp and g machines. So yes, the security patches have been released for the Uh, tavis ormondy's incredible work If you haven't heard of it if so I always go past the headlines I always try to read the write-up from the researchers and i'll admit I have not read all of the write-up from tavis um But we'll pull that up So tavis ormondy and we'll drop a link for you guys so you can bypass the news and read about it But um, yeah, this is the zen bleed write-up By the way, and uh, tell me which one of you can I mean you're just gonna google it So I don't even I don't even know I want to say this someone's just gonna google it But I do like the fact that, uh Tavis's this is tavis's website cmpx chg8b.com lock dot Look up what that means Kind of funny Ooh, I like it help my sysad men crashed Yeah, I like that. That's I did not use that Hmm what what I can say is my right arm is fine. So I'm just left with these injuries There we go Uh Didn't that roll on an atv that has happened before I have crashed I have crashed I've never Exactly crashed a car. That's a story for a different day. Um, I I've I ripped wheels off of cars But they were hot rods and that's the thing Kind of a crash. So Yeah voice dictation So nonetheless, uh, the heart the zen bleed Is in the same class of bugs as some of the ones that were You know from intel is being able to get some of the what is it? Ghost and the other one what how what was the name of the one from intel? Someone will type it in here The brain trust of people who watch my live show will remember which ones i'm trying to think of here But it's the ability to break the boundaries that the cpu's have set up the pursuit of ever faster processors and caching Um specter meltdown. There we go. I want to say ghost, but it's a specter meltdown We're the intel versions of this and you know, it's just kind of an expected thing There was actually a really old paper This was brought up a while ago and I I talked about this and it's a really old paper from the 90s that Did not predict Well, it did not call out a bug. It predicted that these bugs would happen As processors went to a multicore architecture and things like that that pursuit would lead to this And uh, so someone wrote the paper, but of course, this was in the late 90s So no one was really paying attention going that's not a problem That'll actually happen get these faster processors out there and uh, you know It took certainly longer than expected to get these problems out there, but there's mitigations This is part of it. You have really really off the wall smart people named after processor codes um what the assembly that is a um Um Yeah assembly code for x86 processors, but it's the name in in tavis or midi's website for these who didn't figure it out the uh cmx exchange 8b uh dot com at tavis or midi's website where he has this write up the it's Breaking those boundaries is something that it takes a really smart security researcher This is not something that was actively exploited. This is someone who is far above average tavis at finding some of these type of bugs So he's heading us off and doing the right research and getting these patches out. So definitely pretty cool Yeah, I had a friend that uh lost a foot and uh, you know, the first thing I said Cheer him up at the hospital. I was like, man, you're a foot shorter some last time I seen you You know, gotta definitely gotta have the humor in there whenever you can Gotta try to do something like that But uh zen bleed check that out definitely interesting and yes, there's patches for all the systems I'll patch I'll patch my systems tonight. I probably maybe in the morning. I probably do in the morning Uh, I'm not worried about that. It's not like there's someone on my systems. That's going to there's no concept exploit that's going to occur between now and then so Uh, our unified chat tomorrow Uh, is that at 8 a.m. I think Um, I may look at my calendar probably if it's in my calendar. Yes I I live by whatever is in my calendar. So the answer is Yes I forgot that I know I you know, you should change it to your uh, the bearded IT dad I forgot your real name. But yes, now I there's this this thing. I'm like, I have someone else today No, I have you at 8 o'clock a.m You just your name as it's in my calendar is different than I know you as here. So yes Oh, that's right. It's uh Yep Yeah, so I was going to say I don't have a meeting with you at 8 a.m. I have a meeting with dakota at 8 a.m. So Yes, we are good for it. I am a very early morning person myself. I'm a 5 a.m. kind of person myself. So Definitely, um, there. Let's let's talk about a couple emails here. Uh, people sending questions And someone had asked and I this is the challenge all the time I really like that neck gate has a list and are asking which neck gate device should I choose This is a neck gate 1100 uh good for my home use The answer is yes, it is but because it's always a but with technology but that but is What is the speed you're trying to achieve and what's the vpn speed you need if you go? Well, I'm not using vpn awesome And you're going I only have a 40 meg inter connection awesome Great. So will the neck gate 1100 work? Yes, but it'll only work up to a certain speed All those speeds of all the devices are specified On the neck gate page. So you buy it more based on speed first You know Do you need the vpn's performance because the speed gets over to the gig side really quick But the vpn performance does not get a gig until really far down the line of ever increasing cost But this comes down to you know, which way is the Uh, way you want to go. So I think the 1100 is good. I think it's a it's a good device I think the 2100 is probably worth it to go a little bit better The 4100 steps you up. I think even faster than that but now you're talking a lot more money Um, and it may be overkill for what you need. So it kind of comes down to budget budgets are Rarely unlimited. Um, so go with the one that matches the speed and if the 1100 fits Yeah, if you know the one thing about the 1100 is it feels a little sluggish when you go through the menus Which sucks, but the other side is it's how often are you in the menus? So I I ran 1100 myself Because I wanted to really put it through the paces Before I got faster internet and I never had a problem with that. I thought it worked great I was slow in the menus, but it's whatever. It's 1100. Um, I don't I'll spend once I had it configured I don't do much with it after that All right, this is another question that I don't have an answer to and I haven't looked at it recently to see if they fixed this but this was a problem Just an idea s3 min i o being removed from true nascale a lot of people are starting to use min i o in apps But a lot of people have problems with the getting the ssl to work. You are correct Uh, I myself getting problems working through these guys Uh working through these guys and other stuff helping out so many people and change. Um There's just some bugs with it. I see I I don't understand how they worded the last one I think they're I think they're thinking people who take the time to do these write-ups on there I haven't looked to see if they improved it But I don't know why and this confuses me the folks at true nascale put it in as an app So now we have the ability to Pull it up real quick. So I want to show you what it looks like But I think they don't have an option for certificates, which is stupid Like why bother? Why did you bother with the app if you're not going to put a certificate option in there? So we're going to go over here to the apps available applications Pretty sure it's in the list now sure is benio and uh Yep, no cert If you don't have why they don't have an option for a cert here I don't know the problem you're going to run into is lots of things that use s3 emulation, which is what benio is Need a cert. So I just don't use it. That's my answer. I think it's dumb that they Did this because you could you can still use the other one and use a certain error And if you look at other applications and we'll use, you know, like next cloud Where's the next cloud out? Here we go. Oh, cool. It's an update. But if we go to edit my next cloud This is already a web ui option certificate configuration This is a feature of their ui inside of true nascale They they choose when they build them when they build each one of these apps and they're building the template for it Whether or not, you know, you have certain visibility into certain options And why they don't have a certificate configuration option. I don't know. Maybe I can do a pull request But that seems like an obvious one. So I don't understand why it's missing. So benio Not having that makes no sense to me because most applications require Even if it's self signed you can usually bypass like the check self sign cert So I don't know. I don't have a solution for you. I'm sorry I have the I will complain to the true nascale people ask them why it's that way because it makes no sense And if their answer is like set up a um, I think there's a couple reverse proxies in there But I'm like, why would I want to set up reverse proxy? I just need a certificate for my s3 So it doesn't make any sense Speaking about vpn speed and a long missing support on ubiquity for easy site to site It looks like they finally get it done calling it magic vpn. Will it convince people to finally choose it over pfSense? No, but here's the problem. I'm going to do a review and the magic vpn is novel I think it's a cool feature. I I thumbs up it like hey, uh great idea You invented overlay networks cool, uh, I mean it's essentially an overlay network coordinated via the team at ui because it uses their website so As long as you're fine using their website By the way, and I'm going to be a little bit of smart ass when I do the video going cool. You hired actors Where's your commitment to the product? Where's you're telling me that this product will last for how long will you abandon this product? You can't because here's the problem. I'm relying on a company that doesn't have a roadmap That is incredibly clear on their cloud services to tie it to their cloud service That I hope they continue and hey, this is a company that burned us on some Cameras without warning. This is a company that burned us on phones without warning And so they did they have a couple product lines. They dropped they put things I granted things in the ea store may not ever come to production But without a clear product lifecycle I wouldn't build my business on that that can be a challenge now overlay networks on the other hand So if you go hey, I'm going to set up tail scale. All right. Well, it's a paid service I know their business model. They take money from me to maintain the coordination server Also, you can run head scale to run your own coordination server Awesome And if tail scale decided not to do things we could switch it to another service But tail scale I would say is pretty solid my preferred way I you know if we're going to do a setup and we do site to site setups You know, we do like setting up things where we use wire guard and build site to sites manually That way you're not relying on a third party To coordinate your server connections. So that's just something To be aware of is how that works so I don't like how they obfuscate a wire guard that works. Well, I don't care if they obfuscated it because that's all tail scale So a matter of fact, I'd rather them tell me they're using wire guard on the back end than obscure it I hate companies that try to in one invent their own crypto That's a recipe for stupid problems because unless you have a bunch of cryptographers Why would you try to invent crypto wire guard is well audited and well vetted just use it That's what tail scale did tail scale didn't reinvent the vpn tail scale built a coordination system for wire guard vpns That's the smart way to do it. So I think ubiquity did it in a very intelligent manner But you have to look at it from the perspective of if I sell a product I want to know what the support for that product looks like what if they go, you know, what we decided We're going to start charging for magic vpn, but you weren't before or we're going to cancel magic vpn Okay, I have a bunch of people using it. What's my alternative? So those are my problems with magic vpn is Is understanding unifies commitment and by the way, do you know how easy this is? It's just the same problem with google if google took the time to say We plan to support this at a minimum of seven years from today And every year they update that and commit tell us that they have a seven year five year five year We'll just say five years Just say a commitment that you renew each year for how many years you at least guarantee support and then When we quit seeing that renewal we go. Oh, I got a few years left But uh, I'm gonna have to solve this problem over the next couple years How hard would it be companies to do that? Well, they would have to actually Not just rake in the money, but actually put a product timeline together and that would be amazing But you know companies don't like to do things like that. So they could completely solve this problem This is not an insurmountable test. This is a management problem. This is you know The way they want to behave by choice. This is yeah nothing I'm just gonna stop ranting right there about it like I like it But this is my problem in general with many of these companies is we don't see good product commitments to their cloud product we only see prices go up despite compute costs going down and Yeah, their goal is to generally get us in product lock-in, which I'm not a big fan of the other problem with the um The lack of flexibility if you will When you do a side by side feature comparison when it comes to the extensibility Pfsense still has extremely like a way broader feature set than you're gonna get with unify I don't think unify is a bad product for home users Matter of fact, I'm going to do a new review where I say small business like Basic small business users and home users go for it man. I think it's a great product I'll put the prerequisites of as long as you don't need in certain names of services And you're good. Awesome. There you go. But you know, these are things that are missing Commitment to the product as far as life cycle. How long is the update supported for? You know, they seem to have a pretty good, but that should be laid out like you You know, this is something for better or worse. You can look at sysco You can complain about a lot of things, but sysco has got a good job. You know when end of life is on sysco product And that's how it works. So Oh Hey, chris from cross talk solutions. Good to see you here I don't understand ubiquity. They make rather random new product in a saturated market Then basic features They kind of bounce around a lot. So Can you achieve ha using trunet scale in a home setting trying to Imagine a proxmox where you know clustered it needs permanent storage. No, there's no ha available for trunet scale right now In beta They have a clustering option with two trunasses in beta. I've not used it and it's very beta How safe are os rollbacks to encrypted zfs datasets at trunets? Uh How safe are os rollbacks to encrypted it's well as long as you don't change the keys you can roll back So the keys are saved in the os boot or you have a pass raise I think i've done a video Maybe I need to do an updated one because they've changed things They've changed things to how the encryption works But i'm pretty sure my video is still probably a hundred percent accurate that i've done on zfs encryption So As long as you don't change the keys You can go to a new version You can roll back to the old version as long as you don't do a features upgrade on your zfs So if and only if it's not always but when there's a version update sometimes that version update has a zfs version update now This doesn't do anything to your data, but it will bring the zfs on your datasets to a newer version And if you want to roll back to the previous version of the os it may not work properly with the updated zfs feature sets But the encryption keys are a separate item and as long as the encryption keys are not changed should be fine Could be worse. You could be rocky and have your entire network dies if you miss the license renewal. Oh, yeah Yeah, you're held hostage by them for sure My unify sensor started tingling when I talked about them in ranting about them. I wasn't talking. I was ranting at that point so I'm gonna go with that was a rant Hit the wrong button scale 2213 borked my boot pool and I have a working boot environment for 20 and 2 Auto cucumber hates you today. Yeah, that happens That does happen. So that was my rant on them. I have one more question to answer Um, I don't really have a strong opinion on this Um, how do you feel about a bunch of base distros with their firewall disabled by default? I think you should turn it on because if you accidentally do things now you have two steps You're like, uh, I accidentally bound something to my ip address then left it open And I'm on a network. I connected to some wi-fi at a taco bell and now people could connect to my computer So I think it helps mitigate the risk. I do think they should be on by default but You also shouldn't be monkeying with services and binding them to your system unless you know what you're doing And uh, that's often not the case a lot of people start just turning everything on And the people who don't know what they're doing don't turn a firewall on anyway So we're all in danger, but I think it should be on by default but How likely are you to load a service and open it up and expose yourself to a potential problem? So Better on and off but I don't it like from a default install where there's not even ssh running I think you're good. You know, honestly, you don't know What does a bunch does a bunch to have ssh turned on by default when you load the desktop version? I want to say no, but it could be wrong Uh, I don't I haven't looked at the default services a bunch to has loaded But I think they don't enable ssh by default. Someone will chime in here Brain trust of people if jay from learnletics tv was here. He would know for sure Jay's got quite the encyclopedia of information on that All right, we've answered the questions. We talked about some unify What else do we got? Cool, make sure I got I'm caught up with everything now. You guys can just fling questions at me or I'll just rant about things matter of fact We should up it's six o'clock. Let's just update us to update one of my hosts here So I can switch this tab or just start updating things We'll update the lab first, right? Can you do physical encryption keys with your nascale if someone steals my nascale without the key attached? Only use reboot and encrypted stuff from readable You do it differently. Let me show you this this is something I've talked to this is what I do cover in a video is how this works This is the part of the video that's going to be very accurate data sets Sync thing Unlocked let's look at the encryption for sync thing Do I have this on the screen? Yes Sometimes I'll forget to hit the share button but uh If we hit edit here, look, it's got a passphrase on it You have to type this passphrase in so edit encryption option for syncing data I got all my goodies in there. I got a lot of stuff that I'd prefer not to be elsewhere and So this sync thing is encrypted and every time the computer boots I have to go here and I have to type in a passphrase to unlock it and then all these files are accessible So if someone were to come in physically take my nas They would unless they kept it powered on seems unlikely This will lock so the moment my system powers off the lock kicks in and uh, yeah That's it the data becomes locked until you have the passphrase So that is the solution to don't steal my nas physically Now there are ways you can set up. I don't think it's officially supported but you there's people I mean, it's linux so you can script this. I mean, there's ways you could have on boot your server Reach out to a key server and pull the keys and drop them in and the way that works and there's people who set this up There's um Different methodologies, but essentially you would put a key server somewhere on your network And you hope no one steals your key server because your key server has the keys And it will answer the request of keys and unlock the server But if someone physically takes your nas And they don't take your key server they try to boot it up and they're unable to so there's ways to mitigate it like that but that's obviously you know as long as they don't take the key server and Most of the attacks are not physical. They're they're less frequent But I still even though they're less frequent. I still encrypt everything. So whenever you power cycle these they Prompt for a password I think it's on by default. Okay Pretty sure I had to assault open ssh on my 22 desktop. I started working a few weeks ago I think so too So we all know free radius and open vpn a pf sense. What's your experience thinking open vpn with ad People hire us to do it all the time. You can um go to pf vpn Where's it at? It's in our documentation But yeah, there's a whole write-up on this If you I've never done a video on it. It's been on my to-do list, but you know really low on my to-do list Uh, but there comes a point where I do things that home users would do but I don't necessarily do everything that the business people would always do sometimes I do Um, I just don't like dealing with windows. I'm not the best person at it As a matter of fact, if you hire me to do it me as in the company me not me personally You won't get me doing it because that's not a me thing. Can I muddle through it? Absolutely. Do I want to muddle through it? Absolutely not I don't I'd have to use a windows computer and I want to deal with it So, uh, it's something people hire us to do tom hasn't done a video because Tom doesn't usually do I'm not the doer of this task Uh, so it's really not my thing If you install it ask if you want to turn it on. Okay Cool When your life before you flash before your eyes were you happy with what you saw where you forced to re-examine what you did during your life? um No, I life did not flash before my eyes none of that happened So I never I don't really the past is immutable You can't have something more immutable than the past. So I never dwell on it I just don't spend time thinking about the regrets what I should have or could have done Uh, that's something that's you know, the closest I've come that was a question I was asked when I did a talk of you know, what could you change about things and I'm like The only thing I'll ever say is maybe I should have been less of an ass when I was younger But that's about it. Like I don't spend time even dwelling on The the things not taken so I always try to look forward on stuff. So it's not I don't that's not a question I dwell on very much at all I see how your host update Oh, see how your host update before I do mine. Sure fair enough I will still hear nasz emotionally Lock your key server to require ube key on boot. Yeah, there's an option too Open vpm with ad for some clients that support. Yeah, it works great I have done ad with open VPN works. Yes lots. We know we lots of people use it Um, I think we've done LDAP as well for some people as well I I'm not positive. I think we may I don't know I'd have this is a technician question I know we make it work because people start with I want to set up pf sense open VPN and high-tech directory And we quote them and we do it I actually that's not a detail. I've thought about in a while Yes Terry Pratchett. Yes, it is often said before you die your life passes before your eyes. In fact, it's true It's called the living Absolutely. I like that I like that Where do we go? patches Yeah, let's see how these go Install patches. We're gonna do it through the web. Well, do I do it? I I usually do it from the command line But for all of you and the fact that it's a like seven clicks for me to share a Uh, what do you call it to share a window with a terminal in it? So Yes We'll let the patches ride. Let's see if the system explodes. I should probably have backed things up before I did this This is our lab system. That's why it's called lab art So I clicked install patches Their patches are installing We're doing it live I didn't even try to back it up first Patches are spinning Loaded sir loads are going up. Look at these. We're using nine percent of our cpu to get these patches done Oh, no, we're up to 13 percent cpu So, yep oops Uh-oh, that didn't go good at all well Server down That's interesting Can I ping it? Well, it's still up, but it ain't responding to uh zen orchestra anymore. So that's interesting uh Well That's gonna be fun What's the worst could happen? Mistakes were made. I hope no one was using the lab server today Because no one's using the lab server now All right, let's go in here and go to Uh Intermission technical difficulties here Oh, look, I didn't have to do that I didn't do anything. I did nothing and it fixed itself. There we go It says reboot to apply the updates cool Hasn't been rebooted in two months. So I guess we can reboot it now Is your zen orchestra compiled or a paid one? So the videos I do are always with the compiled one because This is how I mess with the haters um The haters try to tell me the same stupid thing all the time. They're like to them, you know Please note. It says no support down here, right? So the ones that I share here Are always going to be the free ones because I know homelab people watch this I want to get more people into homelab and I want to make sure that the tools I talk about was zen orchestra And xcp and g are available to you. So every I mean not every I think except for the one where I specifically talked about The zen orchestra appliance all the videos I do and I started out going this is all free and open source This is all something you can compile yourself I have a video on how to compile it and there's always some moron And I'm just gonna flat out call the person a moron someone moron the other day. Hey tom You're promoting some, you know sass enabled company that there's no way you can do all this for free I have to buy a subscription to work. I'm on subscribing from your channel. They left me a You know, I get these weird messages. I'm like, dude, did you even watch a video where I said there's a link where you can do this? You can compile it yourself. So yeah, I It's one of those things I'm like, I get it if someone asks, hey, how do I get this myself? And I'll say, hey, here's the video. I I'm more than willing to be helpful But when someone, you know, starts calling me a shill and things like that, I'm always like, really? Did you even watch the video? Ah Funny Is this uh lose communication with the with the hypervisor? Maybe I don't know. I never tried and I never have it lose communication with the Very minor of exception what you seen right here when we were pushing an update So pushing the update did cause it to uh, You know do that so uh, but it without me doing anything it also gained a connection back Is it not going to show an entire operating system or is this an application to install on an operating system? Uh, it is an application that you install on Debian Ubuntu Uh, the distro it probably works in most distros But I I happen to like it on top of a Debian distro because I like Debian But uh, you can put it on whatever distro you'd like Or it's all it's all built if you look at the source code if you go look at the source code You could compile it completely yourself so you can make whatever modifications so it'll work on whatever distro makes you happy But yeah, let's um Let's go and figure out the hosts here. So All right. Sorry guys. We're gonna shut off your stuff. Are they doing anything? Eric's not even logged in What about kyle? Nope. Kyle's not doing anything either. Cool So we will Shut these down Actually, are they set to auto restart? Let's go ahead and find that out Yes auto power on And auto power on cool. I want them to restart automatically. So now let's just go ahead and stop them And once these are stopped we will um We'll go and uh reboot it and the updates will be complete. Let's see I had a power failure with one of my servers and it would be nice if I got a notification. Uh, I use um Uptime kuma So for me Uptime kuma is my notification for things so If it's red, it's dead. That's what it said. I don't let me make that bigger There we go. So as long as it's all green here We're all good. So let's go ahead and reboot this Reboot Cross our fingers Somewhere in here is the lab server There we go We'll watch this one go red. Um, yeah, we have ipmi and the lab ones too I don't use proxmox. If you like proxmox go ahead Just not my thing There we go Is down The best part of discoverdex over you see being able to have limited Users for my text that can only access certain VMs, etc If you're restarting them and they're not using sr Iovv td Why not just live migrate the host to a different server and even configure them to automaker and shut down Because I only have currently one server in my lab pool So my resource pool for my lab has a single server So I don't have another one to migrate with you on my production systems I do so these I can just migrate and reboot one at a time of which I do That's why I'll do it in the morning because I probably feel like doing other things tonight But I'll just migrate these to another system. So that that part is Like no problem for me. Um, I can just do migrations and matter of fact, if you tell it to do rolling updates I believe it'll just do these for you. You can configure it so it auto Puts everything where you want it to be That that is an option to do auto rolling pool updates And manage all the resources and everything else Uh exosan Is your vSAN equivalent? Um, it's not out yet. They exosan v2 is what they're calling Uh motorcycle crash in the dirt. So that's what happened my arm Do you have any production use cases with true s3 or street panel backups? Including black blaze to personally have a backup wasabi, but not sure how reliable it is in production Um, we like back blaze. I don't have any current. Well, maybe we do I'd have to ask the team at uh cnwr since the merger I don't think we have any wasabi people. Uh, we still have people on back blaze We are probably because um things I haven't talked about CNWR has a data center. So, uh, they they got some they have stuff and so we haven't even covered that So we might start running our own backup servers. That's actually on our kind of stuff. We'll do in the future roadmap Shout out to time. You're awesome. Well, thank you very much. I don't know if I'm awesome or not But I'll appreciate I appreciate people saying I am Uh, do you configure ldap connection? Where in xo? I don't think you do configure ldap connection Uh, I think there's an option for Hold on Somewhere let's find it. I feel There's a config for this Hold on. I'm looking for something. Let's see if I can pull it up somewhere where it is because we I don't have anybody using it Well, no, I take that back We aren't using it, but that does not mean we don't have other people that are using it So what you have is the ability to use uh off ldap. It's right here is where you would set that Um, you can actually do a few different ways. So you can use open id ldap google authenticator github Or saml authentication. So there's a few different authentication options in here That you can use I'm not using them. I think I have a couple clients that might be using them, but not me so, um, it's no one's ever asked us configure it the people that had I've got one um One client that I think uses it because of the scale of the company. I'd be shocked if they didn't Um, but we just consulted on architecture. They got the details set up like they're They're a big hosting company Their first resource pool was 25 servers all with you know Um, I think they have hundred good connections on all of them uh, it in their each system had um I can't remember they it's all amd epics. It was really nice equipment. So it's yeah, definitely, um We've we have some pretty high-end clients using it at scale with thousands of vm and lots of users So I pretty sure I'm going to Probably I never asked them how but I'm pretty sure they're using one of these all authentication methods because Why not? Managing that many users would be hard uh I don't know. I'll figure that one out. Those are always hard because there's a lot of customer equipment in there um I don't know where that that's yeah, maybe A lot of it I don't even think you want the stuff that's out there. I know where some of it is It's um, yeah, is an orchestra more performant. Is that what you like it better? Uh zen orchestra is more enterprise focused than proxbox. It's more scalable than proxbox Uh, that's why I like it. It just has a lot of really solid features proxbox is um, very flexible. So it's a pretty neat product I don't think you can get the same level of support and sla agreements with proxbox. You can with xcp ng so um There's a lot of enterprise reasons we like xcp ng I remember zen back before zen was in os back when it was just kernel patches You had to install debian old two core system back when dom you shared dom zero kernel. That's been a long time Yeah, data senator nda reach speedrun. You got it Your systems are probably newer than medel emc servers. Yeah, there's some stuff that um, it's one of the things ain't broke don't fix it and it's Especially when you just have redundant things in there like yeah, it's a backup thing We've been replacing some stuff but because I know because we um, I did a I did a video about the tornado and that was actually a um cnwr Backend server now. That's really high speed. Those tornadoes are fast So but oh, uh, by the way, let's go back over to the screen here hosts Look, they all booted back up. So for those of you wondering did the patch work? Yes. We did it live And it works. So here we are with nothing on fire Oh, well, something's on fire because look at that all these VMs Oh, there's too many of them running Oh, there's two of these That's an eric problem It's kyle not have his labeled lab He has this one set to auto start Hey, whatever they started them all they can turn them off We're we're putting the system through its paces. See if it explodes Actually, what are they using for storage on those? There we go. They're just hammering the storage Good news is we got plenty of storage I'm migrating from the r6 20 to an r6 30 to an r6 30 xd So whatever you're running is newer than what I'm running. Hmm I don't think this is what they mean when companies advertise live patching. Hmm. Maybe not Remember when you shared the fancy 3d printer at LTS logos and racks as stlville available want to add one to my rack uh Somewhere I that's a That's an I don't know Any recommendation for proxmox hardware? Sure one second the proxmox stuff Should run on so I take that back. I have not tested proxmox, but I know it works fine with xcp and g And that is the come on one-handed problems that is these um What are these called? There's a qr code somewhere. Come on Ace mini. What's the box called? ace magician Silly name. I'm reviewing these. That's why they're here on my desk And uh, so these are actually um our nice little compact boxes for building your little home clusters on so Doing some videos on these I might if I feel inspired I might load proxmox on it just to see if it works Right now it has xcp and g and it works on there, but there you can find these if you look for ace magician On amazon you can find them Uh Whatever your budget allows though. I mean if you're looking for used hardware I mean that's going to be a better deal so to speak But it's usually going to come with the fact that's going to have more power What would you recommend for home use one gig speed home use for what? It's the knuck wasn't that great anyways The knucks were a little goofy. So I don't they weren't they weren't amazing These are not going to have ecc memory. These are your cheap cheap computers Um, so good for home use not going to be ecc use. I'm going to grab one more Because this is the other thing i'm working on the review for Gotta pull sticker off There we go One-handed problems I'll do a video on this as well the the zima board is just cool And uh, so yeah, I'm working on some zima board videos to talk about this I've actually got a if you can tell A controller card in it for doing sata and um, yeah So this is actually got a true nestscale on it And then you know, I've been running it. It runs fine. Uh, I brought it here to my studio to do a video on it So the the zima boards are pretty cool. I think they're a pretty neat product They're not very powerful, but you probably don't need powerful for a lot of things, you know um Counted in one of the use cases. I really want to talk about is going to be Pull this up and bring it over here I do like the Uptime kuma There's there's the couple minutes. It took us to get rise and labrette back up But anyways the um home assistant definitely an awesome use case for it. So Could you say that zima board is pretty? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah small scale I mean, this is my small scale server. You guys just help write these jokes now I know exactly how to intro the video I'm going to show you how to do a small scale server here a small true nestscale server I mean it works I even 3d. This is all 3d printed. Look at how cool that is Novel Uh does the pc i card mount to the 3d print it certainly does So you can see we that way. It's not wobbly you can I don't want to hold it from it, but I will there we go So it doesn't slip out you bolt it right in there and the zima board Also bolted right in definitely a really cool Uh a little setup here Two proxmox servers on a rise and five 5600. Yeah, uh, can you do it? Yes. Do I do it? No, but you can I've got a video talking about how to get pf sense on xcp ng I just don't do it. I prefer to run pf sense bare metal Because think about this if I would have had my pf sense running on xcp ng Then my internet goes down while I reboot my pf sense or reboot my xcp ng and if my internet's down And I need a troubleshoot well now I have another problem And hardware is not I mean it depends on your budget Hardware is not that expensive like to have an inexpensive pf sense. It's a couple hundred dollars So to me it's worth it to have a dedicated piece of hardware that runs my networking Do you plan a small scale true dance vm web server setup video? vm web server I don't understand 56 gig you can't do 56 gig on it. So I don't understand your question What pca car is it I found uh I found one that did not have m2 This one doesn't either um Look closer. It has solder marks, but not an m2 So no, there's no m2 going on this. This is the one from them. I ordered all this right from the zima board people This is not a sponsor. They I think they reached out to me, but I I just bought it I didn't even want to deal with the implied bias. I'm like, let me just go buy this thing It's not expensive I've already done a video about running virtual machines inside of true nas Home assistant is neat made automation for a light bulb that changes from green to red when the electricity is cheap neat I've got a lot of automations Um, my whole studio in my house all runs on home assistant. Oh my finger is over the part. Okay. Makes sense Got it Yeah, if you type in like true nas virtualization I did a video on how to use it. I'm not a huge fan of it. It works I don't think it's great though I think they did an okay job on it. That's that's my opinion They are okay at it and here's my um a bunch of server So it works You can even get to the terminal on it, but Yeah, there's nothing it's not special Not to me at least I watch your fresh rss videos wondering what are some of your tech related subscriptions You can find them all and if you on that same video There's a link To all of my subscriptions so you can you instead of having some of them. I actually exported my Is it called an opl file? I exported the whole file so you could just have a copy of it but Yeah, this is um all my fresh rss stuff right here. So As far as like where I pull the news from It's let me change it so it shows all That's it. Yeah, there we go There's the news sites I pulled from but that list inside like I said, you can go grab that list And just import it so you don't have to type all these or try to screen capture them I try to make it as easy as possible. They're in my forums Free to download So if you have a zboard just sitting here does that mean your video for true nas is done? um no No, I've just moved it here to record this part of it It's not done until I edit all the video And uh for it so I and I wanted to have some b-roll of the device And I didn't feel like dragging camera gear over to my office So in my studio is where all my camera gear is so I can just do it all here I use proxmox. We want to dive in xmgs. It's dumb to run that inside a proxmox I mean if you want to try it nested virtualization is a fun thing I've used true nice virtualization and it works Can even do a piece that I passed you but doesn't seem to be missing anything important for the basics. It's fine It's just not particularly amazing Got some homework this weekend play around with fresh rss Yeah, the um other things you can do And actually one of them broke actually is reddit broke. No, this I don't think reddit's broke. Is it nope? It's not Um, you can still point it at subreddits and it's able to pull all those the reason I asked is it broke is because um The reddit changes to the api and the giant in shitification of reddit, so Matthew, hey tom machete nation is cured. Hope all is well. Thank you And uh, yes all is well Can we get the 3d print file? If you type in zima, I this is like the first search result on typing in like 3d print for zima um When I when I I'll find that link Uh, because I have it somewhere and when I make the video I will include the link for it I wish sure next scale will use lxt on the back end to the vm and add support for lxt containers I wouldn't hold my breath on that math martin gonzalez. Thank you for the donation awesome tom is not easily tom is not easily amazed sure I am Huntress and just defender or huntress plus set no one complete plus vigilance Uh, pretty easy answer what we do today and what we have continued to do even after the merger is sentinel one full the complete vigilant, um Is it vigil yeah vigil the the where they have the back end? I don't want to mix my words up. Yes, we use the Sentinel one with their people the vigilance people and huntress that's still our stack Uh, what do you recommend for home users that wants to do smb and web server on one machine? I Well I don't Run a web server. I don't understand the question exactly like if you want to run it in a vm on true to ask you can Open vpn or wire guard for small business. Yes, they're both great But they have two different very very different use cases. One has user authentication. One does not You generally businesses would like to know what users are logging into their vpn So if the goal is to get users logged in you're going to go with open vpn If your goal is to have a site to site wire guards a good choice It's nice. It works. Well, but if you need user authentication You generally go with open vpn because there's no user authentication with wire guard Do you have hd heated shoes with moving large files in a z of our true nas my drives get hot Well drives definitely get hot. Um, that's a problem But you got to bring these over here These drives don't get too hot. Wow. This is all attached Um, because they're just ssds. This is the SSDs that I'm using for the zima board. I can move that over here now This is I've kind of made a mess All right, I'm not messing with that no more There we go So hopefully that made sense. What am I doing over here now? Share this tab back over to here. Uh, I do run fresh rss Right here. Let's update next cloud. I'm using next cloud. Let's update it while I'm here upgrade I've been happy with true nas scales been Much more stable than it used to be so I'm pretty happy with it overall and let's see if next cloud works Going going going maybe Oh back over to here, you know, we never talked we talked a little bit about this I do have I'll go back to the main screen here So I am working on the review of this. I just got delayed with the merger getting a lot of things done uh The merger is mostly done, which is great, but There's still like been a few things it's to sort out. So it's not been terrible Um, but I want to get back to like my longer form reviews. I've been I knocked out a few videos, uh You know, it's it is kind of a time management and of course I managed to go ride my motorcycle and crash So that's the thing too Have they fixed the issue and it only used a single core with the If you're talking about the encryption problem Or I guess I need context for that Work getting in the way of work. Yeah And in the summer I like going on things that are outside bicycle rides and stuff like that. So I just found out about your merger last night in a video about it. How's it going? We'll be making videos about the merger. Uh, if you head over to our Business technicality channels, we've made a series of videos about the merger so if you Go to and I'll throw that link up here again for people Drop that down here. It's really simple. It's lauren stop video slash biz And that will bring you to the business technicalities channel And we even we've got several videos about the merger You know week before the merger week after the merger Hey, it's rush to them and uh, this video is the things we didn't consider in a merger So yes, we we are making sure to cover it because I know people are interested and we're very Jason is too. So it's not just me Jason is also very similar to me. That's why we merged and he's very open to talk about all the stuff Just like I am so lots of Questions can be answered there For an all-in-one eggs in one basic system I thought of a type one hypervisor running true nas virtual storage instead of true nas being the vm host itself I think that's a disaster if you virtualize true nas you just end up with a different headache for the most part You know running true nas with a few apps Works pretty good I don't have a separate hypervisor at my house because all the apps I really want to run are right here And available applications. So I've been happy with this But it comes on to is the app you want to run in there not the one tom wants to run So you got to think about your use case first Uh, do you have any experience working with devices that use two and a half gig until network adapters apparently are known for having random Disconnects have you seen that before the neck gate devices we have have two and a half gig in them? They all seem to work fine I mean Here's the problem if you buy some of those I don't know lesser quality devices. There may be more problems with them, but I haven't I I don't sell or deal with a lot of the lower quality devices I think some of these mini PCs I have sitting next to me have two and a half can two and a half gigs in them um And those never had a drop or a disconnect You demonstrated an issue true nascale at only using single core full disk encryption was enabled it slowed down a lot of things Do you know it's a fix yet? No, that's not fixed It still has that single core problem. Uh, I don't have a solution for that one Wait, you're giving you dm another chance. I am loving my setup and uh surpassing resources soon Important business things like what brand coffee that's you know, that matters The cnw name of the two companies or original name of the company so That for simplification reasons we kept Lawrence systems Lawrence systems because it's the youtube channel And cnwr was an existing so we took all the it contract work the managed service fighter work and we moved it Over to cnwr. We did not try to establish a new company or a new brand or there's no point in doing that So I now I'm a shareholder in cnwr So I'm part of the group of owners, which there's there's four of us They don't that company So there's the owners which is us there is all the contracts that went over but Lawrence systems kept the youtube channel And technically Lawrence systems has like a non-compete not to do it services with cnwr Which it wouldn't make any sense for me to do things in the Lawrence systems because I own part of cnwr as well So I don't the goal was for me if I wanted to keep it. I wouldn't have merged So it worked out really well. That's the best way to describe it cntwr well no because cnwr stands for computers never work I don't know what cnwr stands for clnwr I look they have a four-letter domain Do you know how much easier it is to tell people to go to a four-letter domain? I I enjoy the four-letter domain. There's uh, someone says I don't think they're brandings as good as yours I'm like, I don't think it matters because it's a four-letter domain I just like that it's four letter and it's not named after me The only reason my company's named after me is because I'm not clever at naming things I gotta log back in Did it update a look it's up to date Does it work though? Did the update kill it? Oh look Next cloud still works. Welcome to next cloud Oh, I need to update my collaborator server now. Is there an update for that? No Whatever says I need to update it, but here it is not up to date. What are you gonna do? At least it works Uh, when it's seen to be you're gonna work in california. We already do we work in all 50 states We work in canada. We work in, um france england netherlands I'm trying to remember I got to make a list of everywhere we have clients now. We only do contract It work for legal reasons Contract It is done inside like your managed services are done inside the united states The consulting though we do outside we do inside and outside the u.s. So consulting globally Contract because of the way the agreements have to work. Um, there's a lot of little quirkiness and so we have not taken on a Managed agreement and contract with someone outside the u.s. Because the legal reasons are there where You you have to when you do international You have some governance problems you can run into now canada is not that bad. We understand canada But once you go outside of canada, you just have to have lawyers that review the agreement You have to have lawyers that are familiar with the law is like if I was going to do work in germany under contract Outside of consulting well, then that would be Those agreements would have to be specially drawn to comply with german law residential wiring Yes, no kind of the problem is There's a minimum we'll come out and do residentials Sometimes I think the minimum is going to be like 10 grand to get us out there Uh, that's it's they're not worth it for us that they're not if it's not that big of a project So if it's like a 10k plus wiring project for a home We've done homes, but the homes are a real pain uh, so You know as long as you're willing to you know pay the day rate Of the travel and per diem and getting people out there Which is going to start at probably around 10 grand to get a crew out sure So it's not that we won't do it. It's just probably not worth having us do it That's that's what it comes down to we do projects all over the place. We we flew we've done We did a couple of big projects out in texas, but I mean these projects were 60 70 000 We did an entire school district out in minnesota. That was over 200 It was like a quarter million dollar project. So it's not that we won't travel It's just not worth it for us to travel to go put a wire in your house Um, that's just there's it's just no reasonable way to take a technician from here and get them to there for a reasonable price But yeah, I mean we we drive places and go places What is your go-to workstation brand probably a lot of the novos for workstations. We just like those German vpns legally required to come with free pretzels. Okay I might be a law. I I I like germ a good german pretzel sounds good with really good german mustard Um, you know residential we get calls for it, but we just tell people what the minimums are and they go Oh, I just want someone to come out to my house and run a wire upstairs and I'm like, well, I mean Here's our minimums. It's residential is harder to do than dealing with uh business. So I want to I want a german pretzel vpn That's those combined these all together Do I love manage? No No, I do not love manage. You know what? I love that. I don't have to spend much time and manage So the only thing I love about manage is that I don't have to do much about it. There's a love hate relationship I realize everyone has with connect wise manage uh connect rise manage does a lot of things connect rise manage is uh a lot of things Intuitive not one of those things. I have been figuring it out and getting better at it So I work within the system. It is the structure by which they operate and they operate very efficiently within it So they use it. Well, they have it well configured uh, but But it doesn't mean I love it because that stupid save button got me when I first logged in. I'm like, where's this stupid save button? Why does this ui look like this? Fun, you know, let me try to get my son Uh Can you bring me water? I'm thirsty I've been talking so much If I can get my son, actually he's not usually bounces into the live stream Ha No matter the ticking hr system to your mind or it could be worse. It's always could be worse. So at least it's working Evening from Jamaica. Oh, you're traveling. That's awesome Enjoy your vacation, Cody Great to hear about Lenovo's. I used to be a del shop and using lately a lot of logos Any thoughts on think senator neo versus thinks and 70 I have no idea because I think zero about it I The team or you know, this is one of the things I will work on is there are 30 of us now So with 30 people working there, um about You know, I actually I can't answer that honestly. I know I'll just say about 30 because I know that's about how many people are there um somewhere around there, uh I will Have time to ask more of them what they like There's people who who work there that have preferences on these things So they can guide me and my making videos about that as a topic And I want to do an office tour. So Yeah, but not drilled through. Yeah doing home stuff sucks Cody's everywhere. I like this. He's ubiquitous very cool Yeah, the um Industry is 99 Percent del. Yeah When it comes to servers most of the stuff we run into is del del's definitely the most prolific servers out there We see we see hp sometimes, but they're always like way every time I think every client we have with hp should have thrown out that hp four or five years ago I mean cool that they're still running, but not cool that you're still struggling having those run because they're way out of service Thank you, sir Goes on a desk. So we don't drop it. Thank you Hello people Uh, my son says hello people uh What are you playing games upstairs? Yeah, okay cool. Thank you for the water. Yeah Is this cool? What is it? It's a mini server motherboard That is pretty cool. Is it 3d printed? Yes, of course We gotta do cool things like 3d print stuff That's pretty cool. I thought it was pretty neat All right, well you can go back to being playing dib low dib low four dib low four dib low four Goodbye people. Yes. So this is hello tom's son Yeah, uh hp putting their firmware, um He put their firmware on uh, they put their firmware behind a paywall and you write that definitely makes a lot of homeland people less than thrilled Um, cody. I did talk about it. Uh, I seen your video on it Which is great thumbs up if you haven't watched it cody's got a video on it It's neat But my complaint, you know, the too long didn't watch so you don't have to go back and watch this My too long didn't watch and I'll do a video on it though is basically the magic vpn is cool What's not cool is unifying not having the clearest roadmap and commitment because it has a dependency on unifies cloud to work Which is fine, you know, you need to be able to do what it does it needs something like that Except what's their commitment to the cloud? When's the end of life on the cloud? Those are the questions that kind of matter so You made a video recently and said you were going to tell us at the end of the video what happened, but you never did I don't know I I'm gonna need some context on that one Just note. I work in construction industry 3d render modeling design site. Oh cool 3d rendering and modeling stuff is cool hp paywall What happened to the arm and a sling I that I well I crashed on my motorcycle off-roading So that's what happened and I did say that in my video on true nas So I said it in this video at the very beginning and I said it at the very end in my true nas video Yeah, this is the one thing and So I hope the roadmap becomes more clear Is a problem not insist not just unify. I mean i'm calling out unifies as we're talking about But if there's a company that has a absolute garbage roadmap Um But is worth more than you know, this is the king of garbage roadmaps But which company what I be talking about that is the absolute worst of All of them what what company could I possibly be pulling up to share? That has the worst roadmap of any large company like they make the dumbest We don't understand it decisions and just you know kill products without warning without even A hint of what's going to happen next and that would of course be Google google and their google graveyard you know like They just keep killing things and killing things They also I don't know here's this one's better because it scrolls better without me. It's not paginated 288 products the latest one google domains But yes killed by google. This is such a cool site if you are curious for just how often google kills products There there is like google Is next level at this and you don't even know when you're gonna do it so microsoft They are um They just like to name things stupidly, but don't worry google does that too Um, they're they they don't want aws and google to be the only ones that have dumb names for products So they just renamed products because that way the marketing department can go We're still relevant because we renamed a product. What'd you do? Why'd you do it? Was it confusing? No, but it is now So look people are talking about us I have domains at google. I haven't heard about that yet. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they cool. They're they killed their domain service I mean And they're selling it all they're migrating into squarespace. So I'm sorry. You just became a squarespace customer Surprise Uh, I mean, yeah, this is what we all want. No one wants to spend the money on it So, yeah, if you could greenfield a new network hardware company, what would your ideal be? Yes, we're gonna build it all open source. We're gonna have a locally hosted controller and uh Someone's gonna give you money for that, right? Not likely They just killed 20% thing and brought uh that brought us gmail the best email except lava. Oh lava Yeah, entre Who do you have your domain shoe? Uh hover I've always liked hover. They're simple Worked on ms 20 years seriously About to stop kind of hate it now constantly naming and rebranding. They just do it to do it I don't even think there's a purpose I mean, maybe they're taking their cues from uh, you know, the the dumbest re I mean They want to be relevant and renaming things stupidly is currently a trending topic. There's there's at least one other person Stupidly renaming things. Um You might have heard of the guy. I don't know. He's not my favorite subject Uh, because he just does dumb and he he does dumb to get attention and uh You know rebranding popular sites that have one of you know, strong brand rec recognition. Yeah, cool Uh, you've never heard of hover Hover's been around a long time. I miss now in the beginning when I used hover They were cooler than they are now because they uh used to have a concierge service Where they would just take over and take care of the domain transfers for you It was nice. Um I remember when they got rid of that we've been using them for like 10 12 15 years. It seems like forever. Um, so They I think they were the first domain company I used after network solutions So I don't remember exactly but we migrated out of network solutions over to hover Still shocked google voices alive. Yes yeah The um how they haven't killed google voice mystery Uh, because they've renamed, you know project fi google fi. I happen to use that. I like it Um, I hope they don't kill it Because I'm really not looking for um replacing my phone service. It just works I'm happy with the service. It works really well So please google don't kill that but working well Even if you love the product and it works great and you're willing to pay for it Doesn't mean google won't kill it randomly because it's freaking tuesday or something You know, they're like, oh, we we're decided tuesday at the manager meeting. We're just gonna kill a product. Why? Uh no reasons No reasons. What are you gonna do? We're gonna start closing tabs. That's what we're gonna do. There's a lot of tabs. Why don't all these computers grinding over here Something's really Oh, I bet I know what it is Something's doing updates One of these is probably using a bunch of io for updates. It is I don't know. They're probably fighting with each other. Is that what this is doing? So i'm using a lot. I don't know. I'll let them just run What are you gonna do? All those servers running Has someone working with azure actual director ad the amount of people That is confusing. You should actually just have a go with it Yeah I don't know. I don't think it's really gonna help. Maybe they'll get things right Uh Close that close that Close this this this this this We're done looking at the google graveyard And do I have anything else worth sharing? Not really So see if I had some uh other photos Worth bringing up Nope nothing. All right, cool true. They're both identity services. So yeah Oh, yeah, well, this is one thing about that This is the other problem Uh the Though the way they handle it is Security's an upsell like oh you need logs. Well, here's the service, but you want logs for that service. That's an upsell Um, uh, I'm not a big fan of the way microsoft does that But you know, it is what it is and it's one of the reasons i'm not i'm not a fan of any of these proprietary cloud Companies to try to lock you into their ecosystems There's a bad idea. I'm seeing things ding. I'm making sure nothing's important to me So far no These are not tom things All right, cool. Make sure I some people DM me with the stuff I can answer tomorrow That's what that's what matters. So I have to do this today Uh, what's the biggest thing that's coming, you know, I'm using xcp engine. So how's it compared to vmware? Uh, I think we have a company with three or four thousand virtual machines. Um, running on it and it's Different than vmware. I mean vmware offers more features, but The question you have to ask isn't does it have more features? This is the same question people ask with sysco It's are those features you're going to use If you have a use case that goes beyond xcp and g then you have a problem. I think it's much better than vmware I think it's got a much better support system. I think it's got a lot of you know better management tools And it certainly has better pricing and being that it's open source. You're not getting into locket So I think it has a ton of advantages over vmware But if you go, oh, no, I want these particular features that only exist in vmware that don't exist in xcp and g You you start choosing products not by the product You don't let the product choose you you start with your use cases And then you see once you've drawn out your use cases Is there a product that fits my use cases? That's that's the better way to do that No vtax to start So what would you use for windows cloud hosting? I mean azure's fine for windows cloud hosting. It's not bad I generally I don't think we have anybody using that we host any windows stuff in the cloud though Even azure most of azure's workload the the bigger majority of it is linux servers You hate vmware use it for your company. Yeah Any good tutorials set up in tune and autopilot for the first time would like to start playing with it You're not going to get one for me because they're not things I use. I don't know anyone who's got a good tutorial on it Um, I'm not seeing any. I'm not seeing they don't exist, but also I don't spend a lot of time looking for them So I don't know Azure is expensive to host a vm compared to other providers. Yeah Windows server without a gooey is unusable. Yeah, I'm Like we used to do some quick books hosting. I hated it. I'm glad we got out of it Like it was always stupid in a pain. Um, it was I was happy that client went away like we we told them to switch a few times because they bitched about us Um, and he bitched about the price and I said go ahead and shop around buddy And they did and they said, oh my gosh, you're actually under charging I'm like, yeah, I underbid this so to speak because we were doing it for so long and we never We slowly increased their prices and they kept complaining But the number of support problems they have are always dumb and they didn't like paying for all the support I was just happy to kind of make them go away Um, so I was like go somewhere else because they're like, well, we're gonna go somewhere else. I'm like, okay When do you want to do that? They always thought we would have pushed back and every time they would threaten to leave they wouldn't It was a threat. They just thought they could get a lower price but Yeah, I don't I look I don't think we really have people Right now. We did have a client. Um, a couple of them We had a what was this silly database application I don't know if that got replaced. We just did some consulting with them And got some stuff spun up in the cloud and the client was kind of a disaster client Um, we never pushed them for any type of contract work We did the consulting and we're like, you know, we I take that back We have we do have another one. Um, another client that's got A mess we cleaned up some of the mess But we certainly don't want to manage the mess because they want to do They he want to put band-aids on it and not actually Rebuild the stack the way it should be built their budget was uh for a band-aid But they needed some real surgery to fix it. We're like, uh, we got it as far as you got it Since you're since you guys are ready to do that, you know, it took 30 hours 30 something hours of consulting to to get it working better But it didn't work like it we did everything we could and actually worked substantially better and then it did but it was like they're using windows, um It's the I don't know what it's called very well, but it's the windows uh, h8 database stuff We we had to fix the storage server, uh to get it working properly. It was all configured wrong Glad you got this live. Yeah, it's fun doing the live streams 153 people We'll see how long time can go I'm a little winded with the broken ribs, but You know, I I'm able to keep talking for longer than expected Of course this happened on saturday, so I feel like I I feel like I'm healing faster. I don't know this to be absolutely true, but you know I feel better than expected Oh, someone asked earlier when I got my crash about flash life flash before eyes That didn't happen But what actually did happen is the realization of how long will I not be able to do the things I want to do? And that that came later. It's not like an instant of the event But that is what I dwelled on a lot of the hospital was how long will I not be able to do the things I like doing that? There is like where my concerns definitely had gone Oh man, yeah You probably noticed enough for my channel though. I'm much more of a linux person than a windows person So you're not going to see a ton of windows. I will do I want to do this Pull this up Actually, I want to pull something else up. That's interesting that I want to talk about so I'll pivot to the next topic while you guys come up with more questions. I keep throwing at tom Net data. I've got a facelift and it's pretty So this is cool Anyone have experience with azure arc maybe someone from the crowd, but it's not going to be me I don't really I'm not the azure person either but no net the facelift here is Cool, I like the little you know ways you can expand things in here Definitely. I love net data. I've done videos on net data. It's just such a nice system for when you're trying to sort out what's going on with cpus and loads and Looking at this they've just done such a nice job with it and It's a project that continues to impress with how easy it is how it's able to see and have such visibility So if you haven't checked it out Check out net data and I've got a video on it tells you how to get it set up and how it works and things you can do in the back End It's got really cool anomaly detection stuff and uh, yeah, just I wanted to bring up the whole facelift they got Let's head over to their And they have a cloud version connecting the data Oh, actually, can I huh? Because I have to do it this way Share another tab There we go. So I can see all my nodes There's my gray log server My docker portainer my You can put your xo. So here's the xo server running inside of here It's just such a cool. It's just a cool thing to use Intune autopilot is the setup a proof of concept to start learning and playing with it realm Not a lot of step by step guides out there mainly just random issues and feature Or feature spotlights and google oof hours Yeah That anyone I know that's got it set up like they've never taken the time to a tutorial and it it's it's like building this weird house The cards and then something breaks and you start googling again why it broke and you find out it broke because microsoft changed something Um, I don't know anyone who does it that loves it. They're like, oh, it does it and it you know fix that so Uh find someone to code your videos yet. No, I'm looking for people for that still Uh cloud hosts are local. Can you add more nodes? So they recently Hey brett hello from houston cool to see you jumping in here Um, I recently uh was reading your blog post. They have an ability is this is locally hosted So what you see here and we'll show you this one This is the individual view of the locally hosted ones that you have so you can Oh wait, I'm on the wrong one again. Let me pull up the web portal again The non logged in one whoops because I closed that window This is the non logged in system overview. So you don't have to Connect it you can see it locally But if you do connect it to their council, you can then have all of your nodes in one place so you can get To these six nodes and it separates them out They have a free cloud council so you can put all the data in one place and then all of them stream it But in a recent blog post, and I haven't really explored how to make this work But you can set up what they call like parent child relationships with them where If I'm not mistaken, that's how they reference it But it's where you have a single server that collects data from the others to do it The other option to be just go to the url for each server that you have installed so But I have a whole video on it Yes, it's a very per client setup. That's another thing too Um, what would you check on unify when windows laptops drop from a five gigahertz only networking time to time with no apparent reason um go through and If you use something like I do like gray log. I pump all my sys log data from all of my Unify access points into gray log and then from gray log You start looking for the names of the devices and you start looking for why they're disconnecting But it could be some weird compatibility. It could be something else in the five gigahertz range You know, I remember a long time ago and it was an old doorbell the doorbell system Now this was a commercial company by the way So this matters because what they had done is they had a really powerful doorbell That when you press it at the front of the building Sent out a signal to ring a series of bells all the way out in the warehouse That was cool Because it worked But what was not cool and they would call me out there for wi-fi problems that were hard to troubleshoot Everyone would disconnect at the same time. It turned out that powerful Bell system they had was infrequently touched except for when deliveries would come and no one had correlated The fact that when deliveries would come is when the whole wi-fi system would go down in the front office because of that so wi-fi is prone to interference You can do scans on it, but when it's very intermittent It's very hard But you can at least start by looking at all the logs to try to determine if there's a commonality For when these events occur and a commonality in the logs When are we going to get a hot sauce of the day merch? That's true. I got to work on some merch Net data and xamics are completely different products net Net data does not do any notifications to tell you things Net data just gives you really cool real-time graphing information net when you use xamics xamics can Do More in-depth about the services and then you can create alerts within xamics to tell you like hey a thing is happening If an intel wi-fi occurred update the drivers there's qualcomm throw it in the garbage and buy an intel card That's true too goofy wi-fi cards are just a headache and There's not I there's not an answer when you're dealing with some of those those are just unfortunate problems I've actually um It was the sysco ones were a real headache which by the way the sysco died So I can I never finished a review of my sysco wireless access points because it just fried itself When I was reviewing the sysco though I We I have a couple of novel laptops though. I have a at the time I had two Lenovo's and one Dell One of the little nobles which these are all different models So they and they each had their own ones, but they all had the intel I believe they had intel cards in there If you set wpa3 it would not connect to the sysco But if you set wpa2 it would Uh, don't know it just wouldn't connect. It'll go into a loop and I don't really know why so wi-fi It's just sometimes a headache And in going through the logs wasn't helpful because sysco logs they weren't good sysco wasn't even helpful on that Trying to say zbacks and check mark. What's your opinion? Well, I've used abix. I've never used check marks So I don't have an opinion check mark looks check mark looks cool, but try both and whichever one works for you But I've never used check mark. So I don't have an opinion on it. I don't I don't know a reason to or not to use it Media tech. Oh media tech are terrible The terrible local dashboard. Oh, so I have I am going to do a switch review because I I kind of forgot about them And then I got them. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right. I still have these sysco switches Um, I might do a review on the sysco switches, but the sysco dashboard software turned me off because it's so bad It's just garbage Um, so I did make a video about how garbage their dashboard is that's supposed to tie all these things together But yeah hot tips calendar with hot sauce recommendations and tech tips supports sure Uh, nope the elta labs are back in a box because I even heard a word out of them like other than them telling me. Oh, yeah Yeah, we plant we plan to have a local controller awesome And never heard back. So I don't they they said we're putting it on our roadmap I said cool. Let me know when you get there. Let me know how that drives going And didn't heard back from so outside of we're putting it on a roadmap I don't have any more communication from them and there's not a reason for me to do another video because The non local controller thing kills it for me because what am I supposed to do if I mean, I wish them the best I I think they have a great start to a great product But if their product fails I can't support it anymore and I would be stuck So if I buy these which by the way they cost Similar to what ubiquity costs And if the company goes out of business, I suddenly have a problem I have to out of my own pocket replace whatever I sold to a client. I'm not taking that risk Um, that's just not a risk we're taking so we stay with stuff that we can have a better future with Ubiquity may not have the best roadmap But I feel confident that even if ubiquity for some reason decided to stop supporting their ap's Because I have a locally hosted controller I have some time that I can continue with that controller working And uh, that's a good thing Uh, Xabix does have pre-configured templates What what Synology NAS would you use with about 20 or 30 amcrest cameras? uh, which I would use a Synology NAS selector and I would decide based on all the questions that the Synology NAS selector asks which When you should use because it's not a question of 20 or 30 or 50 cameras It's 20 or 30 or 50 cameras at what resolution and frame rate So, uh, that's the question that they ask and then the next the final question is and how many days do you want to Do you want to store all the camera resolution and frame rates? Also labs you had another company in a very busy market segment when If they fail brick, yeah Like I don't get the what they're trying to do at all to the labs or like of companies I would start like if you say here's some giant chunk of money, tom. You're gonna start a company I wouldn't go well that Wi-Fi thing doesn't look like it's solved Let me uh, let me sink some money into that because the offerings they have are pretty good and I don't see also labs was good, but they didn't like Blow me away an innovation to say that uh, yeah Installed I just sold an aruba 2500 in my home lab. Uh, what's a parrot with? Um, I don't know it aruba support standards. So you can pair it with whatever you want I don't have enough information to give an answer Every company that runs a live service of any sort should be queried to store their code within a code escrow company And it's supporting. Yeah, that's a pipe dream I I'll agree with you an idea, but I don't see that in any practical way happening Synology is a good replace for 30 plus 6 vision cam system where the client doesn't want to replace cameras yes buffering Synology nvr calculator. It's a Why don't we just pull it up? We got the internet here We have the internets we can talk about these things and actually put them on the screen But yeah, the nvr selector number of cameras 30 Beasts to store. Oh, we need I need we're going all out here Porting hours hdmi video format sure. Oh, but we want we want the 4k and we want to go 30 frames a second. Let's recommend that You're gonna need some big boys here. I like these. I did a review on these before Ds 36 22 xs plus cool name works well That reminds me. Where's your preferred place to self host your big kitty controller? Do you host it on the client site and vpn and something else? Uh, I prefer to host it on xcp ng in my hosting environment I have my own servers With redundant connections and fun stuff like that. So I self host it La note is a good choice if you do not have the ability to do that Yeah, you can technically do net data notifications via their cloud Um, but I think someone was asking more. It's no and it's not the same They'll give you notifications on anomalies Xabbix can give you like services notifications and Xabbix is definitely like a way more Extensible product than it. So they're not exactly the same comparison Yeah, you can get some alerts in that data not like I said not the same level of alerting that you would get for something like Xabbix I'm almost comfortable enough to solve xcpg or cusper. Thanks forms awesome So you weren't one of the many people who? Asked ui for the cloud key enterprise. Yeah, I don't know I I seen the cloud key enterprise and I'm like, yeah, I don't okay That's neat It seems pricey. How can I do here in gray log gray log is cool because let's do Think I was using it earlier. That's what I want to do Last day, there we go apply Can tell when tom was updating things Hey, I know it's let's do this. I go back over to nodes if we go to We do the same thing here. We're just going to go the last 12 hours Uh, yeah, that sounds right You can see when I was running the backups. So you can see how it's doing nothing nothing nothing backups So the backups are running so you can tell but most of the time it's doing very little It's kind of cool to be able to do that. So you're like, oh, wait, here's an anomaly You know, let's slice into this anomaly and zoom into it and try and figure out what's going on I think you know shift. Yeah shift Then you can start going. All right What else is in use? Uh, probably like memory disk file system How am I sending it over nfs? I can't remember probably There we go nfs RPC statistics How much data was being sent or we can look at just the network Uh system. So if we see the networking stack Now we actually want the ipv4 There we go sent received How many kilobits we were sending? I don't know. It's just kind of a neat need to play around with this Uh, what do I use to notify I use slack notifications That's been my um My go to is sending everything to slack because I'm in slack all the time But email notifications work too. I have a video talking about like pf sent sending email notifications Uh, mostly though, I send everything to gray log and gray log then parses it and sends me notifications Back to slack. Uh, but gray log can email things. Um uptime kuma. I have that tied to slack as well Another thing to consider a analogy is you can't mix h264 on the same camera For instance really dual all these ports one stream at h25s can can't have you lower stream then Yeah, we usually don't do that. So um How do slack notifications go out if the wan is down? We have more than one wan Gray log has been so frustrating to set up. Uh for me. I've gave up like three times It's it's a little I mean I did my tutorial on it. It's a little bit of a bear to get it set up Because it's just a lot, but it's a it's a very very extensive logging server. So yeah, it's kind of a lot So the the good and bad is there's a lot too gray log It is what it is having dual connections is um, my solution to that problem How would you back up a server with 30 terabytes of data asology to 30 terabytes of data to asinology and s I mean, I've never tried using active backup for that. That's probably not the best way to do it. So Whatever backup tool you're using to copy the data from where it is to where you want it to be um, there's lots of different backup tools for that usually though Um, the nas has whatever functionality built into it That's my general solution Is to use what like, you know, what if rsync is built in rsync is a way to do it But once you start dealing with data sets that size I try to be Synology to Synology. So for example, we do have a client who's got You know 10 12 terabytes of data on a Synology My solution for their on-site backup is to have a second Synology now They have an off-site too because they're not creating data Faster than they can get it out. They just long term have a lot of data They need to hold which also means it's hard to get all that data back to them if their Synology were to fail I mean, we do the same thing with true nas instead of selling someone a true nas for the backup when possible Comes down to what your risk tolerance is. We will sell them a second one so we can have all that data on site How far does network need to be locked down in your pain? Is there part of tinfoil hat when anything is uh unencrypted even if it's between two machines in the same rack? I mean, I prefer to encrypt all the things but this is where people um Overthink it like I prefer to lock as much down as possible But I for example my fresh rss Turns out I don't have it encrypted. I never bothered setting up a certificate because I don't care uh That could be a problem because someone could get on my network and sniff the password for fresh rss And uh, that would suck I guess But I'm not that worried about it because I already gave away my entire news feed for free on my forums publicly So I it's it comes down to what what are you worried about protecting? uh I try not to expose things. I try to lock things down that are important and keep documents safe, but Uh, I don't know. There's not there's not like an easy answer for it. It comes down to what your risk tolerance is Didn't realize I'd be streaming alone. How you doing? I'm doing well My son brought me water and I still have some left How do you handle two wan and the d dns or do you static ip's? You know the ip's are um static So it's not an issue, but I don't have a static ip at home But my home ip hasn't changed in a year or longer The last time it changes when I swapped the pf sentence because I didn't bother copying the mac address because I didn't care Uh, so I just updated my dns But I don't my the ip address with my providers even when I don't buy static they pretty much don't change They it's a pretty rare thing in the um in my previous house my home ip Changed twice in the 11 years. I was there 11 years two ip changes So it's just not something that I have had to deal with much I installed true nas The webinar interface is not detecting my drives even though the command line does show them when I run Uh, I have no idea why it's not that's not a problem. I've encountered If it sees them With the ls block command, I don't know why it would not see them inside a true nas With more than one wan. How was the wan ip address handled? Uh, each wan gets an ip address Maybe you'll have to I don't know the question No, he's not getting time into diablo 4 My son's been I I don't know that I'm interested enough. Maybe well right now with one hand I can't play games very well anyways I work with someone from sprinter it and uh when I was talking to them about a video He gloated that he was in the old studio. Yes Yep, the people from sprinter have been over. Uh, chris tiffani is awesome and uh, just a great person I've I've always had like the best conversations with them. He's super smart and sprinter it is You know smart people over there all the people I've ever been really cool Uh, my I up changes every time I went he locks up for each of our reasons once a year um To ip change 11 years. Yeah, yeah, it just We I'm using wide open west It just keeps working. So I don't really think about it much I've been using wide open west forever I feel like for like 12 or 13 14 years I have found that ip changes more often with coax isp Uh fiber has not changed mine in four years. Yeah Yeah, I kind of like I was excited the day I talked about it and my enthusiasm for setting up an unreal server tanked So, um, it sounded cool ip changes depend on the isp some daily some never change Yeah, I think generally they don't want the tech support. Um, that may come with it so if They know swapping it there's even if it's momentary Any type of you know, because routers may not release dhcp properly or something like that that Swapping ip's frequently could be a more potential You know, uh support issue for them. So I don't think they want to change them frequently because they're like, oh, that's just You know, that's gonna be a problem Let's see here. All right make sure I I see a what I don't I don't know what we're wanting about Saves a lot of issues when the torrent police come knocking. Yeah What would you use an unreal server for or we were talking about the really old unreal tournament servers? Like that you can run yourself like getting some old school games going I think that's kind of cool, but I don't play games enough at all. I barely play games at all. I should say So it will not read them if they're part of an existing butterfessor a however, if I form a m2 e ht4 It does see them weird I always put them in blank. So I that's not something I would run into If the hardware upgrade 10 gig isp If I had the hardware, I would upgrade to 10 gig isp in a hoser. Okay strange publishing Back and forth on ip's, huh? A local fiber isp does dhp reservations don't have to pay for static, but it still gets the benefit. Okay Get well brother. Maybe one day I'll work with you. We have my company for two years slowly growing But love telecommunication industry. Cool. It's a total nightmare when I need to have permitted ip's on a client. Hmm My wow internet sold to breeze line now. I miss the wow. Yeah Tons of stuff as you can imagine. Yes, if you have ip's that are Bouncing around that's definitely gonna be interesting fiber optic magazines. I have no idea I don't know how to answer that. I don't I don't really follow any fiber optic news Oh, thank you. Yes, the um thumbnails not clickbait. Well, I have a different sling on so My leg is numb hold on almost fell All right, I'm sitting on my leg a little bit too long. I think Yeah, the sling is real Don't worry. It's only my left side. So I'm all right I don't think all the same people were here when I said the joke the first time You don't need 10 gig for hosting on real server. I used to pass with 10 mega upload It was more than enough. Oh, man. I mean I used to host my unreal server on a fractional t1 So I know you don't need Because I'm going back to the very original og unreal. So I love wendell shirts. Wendell's just awesome Now now that you're more youtube any future collaborations, you know, I was if it wasn't for the merger I didn't want to leave during the merger And of course now I can't for this but I ended up skipping going to the LTX thing But yes, I do plan to do some collaborations with people On some things I me and wendell talked a couple times.

Yep That's the remake I actually host exotic server if you guys still have around a fast-paced arena shooter inspired by the old quakings I like exotic. Uh, me and my son used to play that when he was a lot younger We'd play that together all the time. That's just a cool game That's just a cool game. You know, I've been doing this for over two hours with this live stream I think I might wind it down You know, um, jeff from craft computing me and him are talking And I didn't you know, I chat with him time to time. He does Uh, kind of a follow-up live stream in this discord. That's not happening today, but maybe I'll do something like that I I wouldn't mind doing some more interactive stuff chat with people. Um, but you know After two and a half hours, I am slowly Realizing that I'm going to run out of voice pretty soon So the water water drinker stream the water drinking selping But I am actually kind of hungry. I and my son probably is too. So me and him got to make food together So I got food. I want to make Shout out to fellow origany. Yes, jeff is uh, oregon Last game I played was wolfenstein. Yes Yeah, I don't play a ton of games. I knew when I was younger I did and somehow when I got older I don't know Remember I met you at deadokon this year and you talked for like an hour and a half probably Uh, I talk a lot Before you try chatting with us and after pretty you should let your clavicle healer improve your Single-handed typing. Yeah He's played a demo game called titans of steel when I was like 12. I don't know if it's any good Yes, jeff is building a new studio, which is pretty awesome Very cool You bought a gold brick awesome Yeah, I like jeff a lot and you know, I like what he's doing. He's just I Knowing him personally is fun. It's fun, too He's just he's as good and as nice in person As he is in the video as well. I haven't met him physically in person, but we we chat we talk about youtube things. He jeff uh from craft computing jeff gearling jay from learning Linux tv hardware haven which I forgot the guy's name that runs that There's a bunch of us that all have gotten together and created our own little group Where we all we're all just supporting and helping each other You know, it's just kind of a uh, some of the back end things that we do Jay from learning like tv kind of pushed and started it and we've all just kind of grown together as a community Because we all just want to help each other as content creators and it's been kind of fun I hanging out and that is where we're going to plan some more collaborations. Uh, lots of great people on that list Uh, the number of little services my family extended have started host makes me want to use ad But when ad and free people seem like nightmares for that are there smaller identity services No, it's just there's there's no good way to manage that. Um Because it most companies don't have integrations for it. That's where the headache comes in of dealing with identity management there's just the company's all kind of default to using like google or microsoft and Because of that, you know for their single sign-on systems, there's not necessarily There's not like this one system to rule them all that does authentication It's it's an integration problem. It's not that there's not multiple systems that can do this It's finding the integration with the product Oh thought control I get on the right, but uh clutch because If you're not familiar hold on let me find out a picture of it so the Honda one trail 125 and we'll go over here We got throttle and we got an automated clutch So automated clutch is the answer That's that's the solution You should also do a major co-lab series You all work together in parts of a project that each post videos you're part of the project It's harder to do than you think we all have the same thought and we realize the actual doing of it's really hard So it's the actual putting it together and and putting it is just a lot That's cheating. Ah, whatever. I wish it had a clutch Well, I wish it had a clutch except for when I crashed and I'm glad I could ride it without a clutch So Normally I prefer a clutch But that was not that. Yeah, nonetheless. I'm babbling now Thank you for all the well-wishers and thank you for all joining me. This was a lot of fun My voice is a little hoarse and I am going to go do some fun stuff Hang out with my son and we're gonna probably eat pizza because that's just what he lives on and that actually sounds good right now I'm hungry. I don't know what I want. But when I don't know what I want pizza if you just put it in front of me I'm gonna go pizza. All right. I can do that the uh Oh, I will make people laugh because me and my son Where do we go? We went and looked at art Somewhere I'll throw this picture up here We were just laughing about the dog This dog was just staring at us. We're like What is up with that dog? It's just kind of kind of strange. So that's over at the Detroit Institute of Arts So if you want to go see a strange dog, uh, go find that dog. You can take a selfie like I did so All right later everyone
