 So oh good welcome to vlog Thursday Hoppin jalapenos good the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast every nutritious breakfast is starting jalapenos I notice he grabbed the smaller one Big one might be better We like jalapenos we do We had a lot of jalapenos habaneros and ghost peppers at our pork extravaganza Thank you to everybody who showed up made it a big success Thank you to Ernie who brought us these out of his garden. Oh, yeah He was cutting them up and putting them in his pork yesterday. Yeah, they're good They're good. So yesterday we had a pork event We had a pork moment, we'll just leave it at that Yeah, when the cameras are off we'll say all kinds of fun things jalapenos and coffee. Mmm. Delicious. I could probably do that I'm gonna finish my jalapeno now Good Gets the blood flowing, you know, mm-hmm. It's so every morning. Just start to eat a jalapeno Mm-hmm. We have pickled ones too. If that's your we have pickled ones pops drop that off for us my dad. So yeah, yeah Okay, back to work. Mm-hmm. Why we're here today I'm doing a talk today. And so this is my preparation for the talk eating jalapenos Inputting slides got everybody's a talk called protecting the digital you and I'm gonna talk about protecting the digital you and the concept is in We have such a digital footprint that we leave and It's tips and tricks of how to protect that digital footprint from attack from discovery from Well, just I just trying to create an awareness for people of what is out there how the companies are tracking them and It's a talk I'll probably put together as a YouTube video as well because I generally do with my talks I'm gonna try and record this particular talk. I'm doing at this conference later today But I try to take and my giveaway or takeaway is a post on our website So they can rewatch have my entire slide deck and rewatch the whole video over again If they'd like that way they have all of the content as I put links in there And I've got a website that stalks you on Facebook. That's pretty clever. I include in the talk. Okay, so That's gonna be kind of fun Oh, one things that people always think about is the way you can aggregate data on Facebook and use it for data Mining to learn stuff about people and you know politicians have learned the hard way Unfortunately, they had one everything on the internet is always on the internet Even when they don't want to be on the internet, it doesn't go away And those secrets that you've revealed in an interview that didn't seem like secrets like hey, where were you born? we love to learn more about you person of in politics and that sometimes leads to the Question of let's reset password. Give me some information. Where were you born? Well, I just watched an interview and they said they were born here or You know, some people just simply put these secrets right out there because what are some of the questions that are asked like hey Uh, what school did you go to? What was your elementary school teacher? Well, people fill that out on Facebook sometimes. Yeah, sure Yeah, and it was your first pet. What was your first pet? And you'll find that information frequently on just reading through people's facebook The other thing is I have a slide that just says don't and If you don't want it on the internet, you don't put it on the internet No, like in terms of especially social media sites people think that they have the Privacy settings set to something that just doesn't work I know facebook's supposed to follow if I don't put it to public. It shouldn't be public Trust me stuff ends up public if you post it to facebook. It sure does people take a screenshot out. They repost it Um facebook, you know, they try to follow rules that they have but people don't care about those rules And this has led to many social media gaps for people who decided to put things on there And employers are really looking at this. Yes, they are I want to say and I have some statistics, but it's got all the reasons that it was a survey done by careerbuilder.com and it's a survey of all the reasons people didn't get hired. Oh Oh, that's got to be good And some of them are just the way they talked about their previous employer And slandered their previous employer which makes the future employer go. Hmm Yeah, I actually really laugh because my uh, one of my friends's daughter got fired from her job Oh boy, they have a very strict policy. You can't she was a delivery driver Uh for a company and they have a strict policy that says you cannot post on social media during work hours Especially because you know you're driving, you know what I mean? Sorry. So they're like look your phone You're not supposed to be using it or anything and while she was driving she ranted about her boss and what she thought of them He simply replied and took a screenshot of it but replied to the branch and said did you forget that you friended me? That's all he put She uh, she was fired that day then went to daddy and it was a friend of mine It's like dad. They fired me and he's he's like why and he's seen it and he's like I would have fired you but I can't defend this. No He screwed up Did you forget you friended him? She goes yeah He goes I don't know what to say. Were you texting and driving? Yeah, he goes don't do that Lesson learned. Oh my goodness Speaking to lesson learned. I gotta comment on this because it I can't help it. It was funny and it's wrong, but uh people who Try to make absurd claims to the police like locking themselves in the car Moving over to the passenger seat and claiming they weren't the one driving when the police was riding next to them Trying to get them to pull over they finally pull over and hopped into the passenger seat This happened right in our city our neighboring city of windot I like the way the news article put it the the police gently broke her window because after a 20 minute standoff She refused to get out of her car and she insisted she was not driving. She was traveling And that there was a difference between those now for those you don't know and I what is it? Thompson versus smith. There's actually a supreme court case That was heard on this and it's the concept that um because of the way it was worded back in the earliest days of driver's licenses that you um Were traveling if you didn't have cargo Was the way people perceived it you were just traveling so you didn't need a driver's license unless it was to cargo As in you were hauling something. Okay, early days of licenses and it was interpretation So the supreme court, you know, this is like some supreme court is going i'm supreme court Just and I have to decide whether or not driving and traveling are two different things We got to make statement on this because people were saying they don't need driver's license There's a bunch of people that claim i'm sovereign citizen of something. Yeah But this lady made all the right made all the wrong claims and tried to play lawyer in it and just don't play She the only person in the car. Yeah Yeah Well, and she was texting and driving and she refused to stop like the police were behind her and they got It next to her and they couldn't get her attention because she wouldn't stop looking away from her phone driving down the street So they're waving at her they're hitting the horns She is real whatever she's doing on her phone while driving Is way more interesting than the police. It was very important. Yeah, my guess is she was looking up the statutes and laws on being pulled over so that she There is a good chance of that, you know, that would be great. What were you doing? I was reading the law so I could become a lawyer immediately on being pulled over Uh, yeah, they gently broke her window That's the part that I thought was so funny I'm like the news is just trying to be nice They gently broke her window and then I posted on facebook and then someone had to make this comment of Well, the police didn't have to she wasn't committing any violent offense. I'm like, what just let her go like that's our solution I'll lock myself into the car Until they leave. Yeah, right like oh you got us Dang it. You got us. We're not allowed to break your window. You're doing anything violent And someone's like well if they were trying someone tried to make the Complete her argument which failed with the police you make the argument in court if you really want to do that but the court Is aware that the supreme court ruled on this at least and this person was not there's a lot of social media stuff on it But I don't know it was it was way more amusing than I thought it should be But it did make me laugh and it has like I don't 200 comments and a few hundred likes on it Nuts like people are debating this out. They're hashing it out of how you shouldn't have to have a driver's license I'm like, there's some things I will argue with the government about That's not one of them. No, you would you need to at least prove to me that you know how to drive a car And there it's like the Wesley Snipes and he got caught up in the group of people that were convinced You don't have to play taxes and he went to prison for it. Yeah It's like dude He was really convinced right up until the sentencing that you could get away with it Like he was really yeah, no You need you need to you need to own a large corporation if you want to get out of paying taxes Yes, there is ways to do it not being not just not paying it was not the way being passenger 57 is not how you get out of paying taxes That is very true Anyways always but on the ir I did tweet a hint for something we get going on We got the big free nas magical box that thing is amazing. I know it's like We had on a table we put it away and it's too heavy for me to carry back in here Right now. Yeah, and uh, because I don't know we cleaned up the office for the pork party So we didn't feel like messing it up just yet. We we asked we didn't want to get pork all over the Yeah So we're going to be doing a bunch of torture tests to the free nas box one of them was not Will it survive barbecue sauce? On fact though it probably would because This free gas x10 system the true nas x10 system They sent us actually has not just redundant power supplies But through the magic of things that they did I got to get some white papers on this to make sure I understand it better It has dual redundant motherboards that run independent operating systems on it And let's go a step further both of these independent motherboards share the backplane that controls the hard drives themselves Therefore if an entire motherboard fails the other one is the failover for it So it's not just high availability on your nas box. It's high availability at the node level So each box each rate array actually has two controlling boards that can both see The array and it's really I'm it's pretty neat. I'm learning about how it works So I can make sure I explain to you guys better I've read through some of the documentation But one of the things we're going to be doing and we have a list of some of the fail tests We're going to be doing which is going to be showing how when you shut down a motherboard You can switch over to the other motherboard And that's it takes a little bit of work to set that up, but It can be done and that's a cool feature about this system Can you just drop a paper clip on the motherboard or something and watch it just Yeah Yeah, it failed The price tag on this thing is a little hefty. We will not be dropping any paper clips But you know just trying to make it easy Yeah, good news is we can actually just unplug it To produce the same effect We're not allowed to physically destroy this thing because we do have to ship back What is that I know we we have a we have a transformer that cranks out 30 000 volts Speaking of which we realize something we have not zapped anything with high voltage It's true. So on our to-do list is zapped something with high voltage So we uh, we should have tried cooking the beef or the pork yesterday with it We did cook pork in a rice cooker. Yeah. Yeah, that's something we learned New info for you new info new info available. You can cook pork in a rice cooker Yeah, yeah, or reheat it. I should say we didn't yeah, yeah, and it cooked it quickly too I mean it heated up very quickly Oh, we didn't get one of the guests that came over to try our flashbang sauce. So that was great Oh my god, there's a video of it actually very and me all the faces. Yeah, it's on the face basis It's got profanity in here. Oh, um Speaking of which any time you eat flashbang, there's profanity profanity. You just can't help it. It's good stuff Um speaking of which I we got our butts got us demonetized What I know so We finally happened to me and I know everyone's been complaining about this and uh, youtube has some answering On this they should really do which is some explaining with the whole demonetization thing, which has been a great level of confusion Uh, I've seen a lot of people posting about it. I have not been really caught up in it And then all sudden we it gave me a notice at a video we did months ago about the cigarette butts It says this is not eligible for ads And I'm thinking it's because it's got the word butt in it, but it's cigarette butts There's just more than one tea I know Yeah, this facebook letting us know we demonetize your video and they don't really give you much of an explanation why Which of course i'm not I don't need to rehash this but if you watched the comments from Uh, was it philips franco did a great video on it and a couple other people did too On the absolute utter confusion of demonetization by youtube because youtube we understand There's got to be policies for things but those policies are not uh, universally applied And uh, you know, I'm I have a very small youtube channel Thank you for all the subscribers, but by comparison to some people out there very small But the big channels have the same problem They're like we have no visibility just because we have seven million people subscribe to us youtube goes Yeah, we're not telling you anything. We're just kind of going We'll give you as much information as I'll give the guy with the 10,000 subscribers I don't know that's kind of an aggravation because I generally think of uh, google as a company that has some commitment to transparency Uh, youtube being a subsidiary of that you think they would have some commitment to transparency But they seem not to have much of a commitment to transparency. It's kind of yeah Do you think it's to so that That people don't then try to circumvent it like if we know how they're Well, it's a good concept That's so people don't circumvent it but the policy based on what youtube it does share with us Yeah does appear to be very arbitrarily applied And that's what there's a lot of example videos out there and people commented on uh, the vegas tragedy That some people got demonetized others did not and youtube says we don't allow you allow monetization some videos about tragedy Okay But there's monetization on some of them. Why and not just like some small channel with a couple views like very large Like million view videos that have monetization that the title is lost vegas shooter So it is you know, I I'm not going to put that in my title And it may be even pick up me saying these words and we'll demonetize this particular video anyways, so Yeah, definitely Mass confusion related to all that so that's uh, yeah Anyways back to uh relevant topics to us No, that's relevant. That's relevant. Stop demonetizing us. Stop me. Yeah, stop me thousand years. Yeah Um, the zen server project is really close to completion. I've already got the first part as zen First part of the video completed on that For those of you on the chat stuff, uh, I got a nice e-mail from a guy. I said they really liked a rocket chat I did reply back. I we really thought it was cool for the web interface But we decided rocket chat was disastrous on the phone and because we do so much communications on phone Uh, it just didn't work. It was not a uh good. Yeah on the android phones On the iphone it worked fine, right just saying Yeah, well, I'm not going to say it worked fine. It did work better. It worked better. Yeah, but fine fine is probably too far But it did find it's probably too far and it's not just over the cellular network even a local connection Um, the app just randomly won't give you messages It won't let you change the channels until you log out log back in after you've been invited to a channel Sometimes it wouldn't do we had all kinds of just crazy problems with it So and I think that's one of the problems of some of these other open source apps and slack competitors is the apps are just Not as well written. I don't know. I don't know the details What went on behind the scenes to not have that app work? But it's definitely a challenge because a lot of open source projects do not have wonderful accompanying apps Whatever the reason is the programs themselves are wonderful and work really well, but we can't just use a web interface We really need uh because so much of our work is done out in the field That's where we use a lot of that's actually our biggest use case for slack is when we're not in the office Because we're not that big of a building. We can use is yell at each other. We probably should type C for first yell So we are out in the field We need information about something that we just don't have access to like hey I need the info for this or that and uh, but never passwords And never pass but we share that information via slack and that's an easy way to do it So that's a yeah, that's it for the uh Communication so that's like the follow-up on it. We stick him a slack That's what I'll title that we're sticking with slack. Stick him a slack. Yeah, it works. It works So it's a good product. I haven't had a problem with it. Um, does it does his job? Other than that, uh, I I'm gonna get cranking out on these other videos I have so many started and that's always some of the videos you knew if you ever want to know Watch the clock if there are any clocks in any of my videos and you'll notice You know like hey tom started the video and now he's wearing a different shirt. Yeah, it was recorded a week later I compile these uh because of the methodologies that have to be used especially with the zen one because it uh Different hardware was used to start it and then different hardware to use to finish it because we had a problem And I ended up blowing that whole hours. I talked about before but I also had recorded video I can't use it because the way the it just didn't work right so I have started over on that so More youtube stuff coming more. Uh, I published a video of me talking sequel server So check out smlr.us for our content if you're interested in the podcast stuff That we posted we got the video link on there. We're also in november going back to microsoft We sent the confirmation. We sent emails were waiting for the actually the confirmations of the um of the event It'll be at the microsoft connect event. So Uh, I mentioned it last time and I'll mention it again if you I someone did message me I got a list people if you can I'll let you know once as soon as I know the full dates I'll be in new york if someone wants to say hi or if I got time to meet up with you I'm all cool with that show me around the city and have some fun and I love talking tech with people so Which is why I'm going to microsoft. He really does I don't shut up about this stuff I'm excited. I gotta talk around where I get to talk about things And I get to include my that slide I showed you so so wonderful. Yeah, it's so when you'll see it Yeah, I'll put it in the video. It's up. It's just It's it's it's a tweet from the the golden sacks elevator Uh twitter account, which it has some awkward moments in it But it basically says you really want to get to know someone at first date Ask them their first teacher's name their first pet's name and then go read all their emails. Yeah But that's really true. I mean you that these are things you can do So it really is I remember seeing a facebook thing Not too long ago that was one of those like it was you know, the questionnaires But hidden within them was the like what street did you grow up on? Yes Like what was your mother's maiden and people were filling them out and I'm like, oh my lord Yeah Yeah, and I you know and of course one of the things I talk about in their video is why you shouldn't answer with the Real answers you can give the real answers on facebook But then you set up the different answers there And this is how we can use last pass to help you remember what those different answers are Because you also then give different answers to different websites And these are this is a lot of what my talk is about these are all these little things you may not have thought of But it's also even things like My email address is timetlauren systems.com. I don't hide that. Do you know what I do hide? Do you know what email address I'm using for last pass? I'll give you a hint. It's not timetlauren systems.com Matter of fact timetlauren systems.com in some places is a honey token Oh really you're with what honey tokens are. Um Honey tokens are things you set up that you expect people to try to hack. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah So the day for two miss honey tokens So I set things up like I created But don't use an account at last pass timetlauren systems.com that way I see how many times a day people try to issue password resets and things that it's actually I get a lot of these my email address registered for facebook is not timetlauren systems.com But there is one registered timetlauren systems.com so I can see how many password temp resets that gets So I'm like look which is only justifying my reason for not using that You know, and I don't believe in security through obscurity, but not having a common email address like that registered with every account that I ever set up Is important sure it makes the attack vector a little bit harder So the obvious stuff, you know At anything I can do to help slow them down complicated passwords to factor authentication Not using timetlauren systems.com for every major account like, you know, bitcoin and everything else. So Yeah, oh, we still gotta do a bitcoin talk at one point and I maybe think that because someone sent me some bitcoin And oh, yeah, apparently they like to post I did on reddit and they sent me bitcoin. I was like, thank you kind stranger that's me between A bitcoin they send you a bitcoin. I wish I was gonna say isn't that worth like a like no they sent me Um at the time what I was treating it was five dollars with the bitcoin. Okay, so fair enough. I'll take it Absolutely, but like if someone wants it to send me a bitcoin a bitcoin Isn't it like it's like is it close to a thousand bucks or something like that? I think it's like 1600 I don't know. Oh, is it 1600? No, you know what we have If only there were some kind of device device to get on current bitcoin price. Let's call it an information super highway Holy crap $5194 as of right now in october or something something of 2017 So yes, I wish they sent me a bitcoin. I gotta find some bitcoin. You know what I need to do I'll start putting a bitcoin the qr codes and stuff so you can send me bitcoin I'll set that up. It's a project for today. So As if I don't know projects. Yeah, right. Yeah, of course. Yes. Yes So fun times and uh, we're gonna get back to work because things have happened and uh, oh I'm also gonna do a video on what happens when you break your google 5 phone. Not that I broke mine But one of my staff did we know somebody who did they broke theirs We know a guy we know a guy so we're gonna follow through and walk you through the process of what had to be done to make that happen because Turns out there's things that didn't go right and not because of google This is things that we had to plan and why I planned things different and why he did something different And how we had to solve that problem is going to be a video problem solvers problem solvers And it took them it took a second five phone to make this all work. So we're gonna talk about that All right. All right. Thanks for watching like continue to like and subscribe. Well, thank you for all 10,300 of you and this morning That's what it's awesome the stats. I'm happy about that. All right. All right. See you next week
