 Whoa, we're streaming note. I say streaming not live streaming. I'll make that clear, but I'm gonna try to stream all day today Number of hours. Hopefully maybe eight or more. We'll see how things go. I hope that you enjoy it It's gonna be a little different than what I normally do because normally I you know if I'm on camera at least I edit it I'll you scream most of my videos or screen casts But when I edit when I film with a camera, I tend to edit out stuff and just get to the point So you might see me fumble around a bit today, but hopefully you'll stick around for a while I hope that you'll find at least some of what I do today entertaining or it's gonna go through a day of You know stuff I do on average Most of it will be tech related, but you know part of it will just be me talking about different things tech related and Else other things, you know might be me Mumbling and bumbling like I am right now But I'll probably do some silly things for you if you stick around might even dance for you hmm Something I got to work on today is my water pump on my well water and there's a little project with an ESP 8266 chip That I hope to get done today. It's something I haven't mean to do for months but since the last problem I had but currently was having another issue this morning where my Air Raider tank was overflowing because the pump in the ground wasn't turning off Which is bad because those pumps are expensive. I just replaced it a couple months ago because it was running and running and broke the pump and Yeah, it's like a thousand dollars to replace. I mean the pump itself is six or seven hundred dollars easy probably more Plus labor for someone to come and install it But we're going to you know monitor it with an ESP 8266 Hopefully I have it all thought out my head. I have the code written out Just need to test it out and you're here with me today to do that I do thank you for that So again, it's just gonna be me today with you talking for a while You can come you can go you can chat you can come in I'll probably release at least some of these clips if not all of them You know for people to view later on but I don't do streams very often But I thought I'd see how it goes see you know what you guys think again I've been cutting back a lot on my videos recently. You may have noticed I've mentioned it Which is fine because all the reason I'm coming back is just Putting forth the time to make videos, you know, it takes a lot of time Not just recording the recording them is actually pretty easy, but you know, I got to learn the stuff I got to test the stuff. I got to think about how I'm going to explain it And you know it takes time and I actually recently did a video letting you guys know, you know Like with my YouTube AdSense which is where most my income comes from as far not most my income but my for my videos that is You know, I still have my full-time job as a firefighter wish I might talk about a little bit today Maybe some of the technology that we have But What was I saying see streaming that's that's what happens I lose my train of thought but I was talking about Wow, I'm getting old when I can't remember what I was talking about two seconds ago talking about oh Add income. So yeah, I got my patreon. So what you guys are awesome, you know, I Make some money there not a whole lot. I appreciate every supporter. I have there But majority my income for my videos not my income total. I don't make very much doing videos Which is the point of my other one of the points of my other video it's kind of up and down and The whole point to me making that video is kind of showing you how that is and hopefully I was hoping to get a little more Stay and maybe get some more supporters. I understand that everyone could support but some of the comments were like, yeah You can't depend on on YouTube ads for constant revenue. I go yet. I'm thinking that's my point My point of talking to you was to get you to support so that I do know I can project out What's what the income is gonna come and and in that way I can decide whether it's worth putting more effort into the videos You know with the ad sense. It's not worth it. Anyway, I don't want to go on and on about that I just wanted to bring that up because I find it funny that people didn't really get the point of the videos I was kind of nicely asking for more supporter support viewer support. I should say anyway Other things we're gonna look at you know here shortly. I'm gonna show you my website I'm sure a lot of you have been to my website. Hopefully films are chris.com Chris the caters link in the description I say at the end of every video. It's there. It's a very easy way to search through all my videos and Again, I'll show you it here in a moment But I'm also gonna show you a few months ago I added some functionality if you are a shell user Where if you don't want to use a GUI interface to interact with my website you can use a text-based web browser such as links or Was it W3m or even W get and it functions differently if you're using W get or curl and you can search through my videos easily that way So we're gonna be going over that What else might I talk about today again, I'm gonna be talking about a lot of things at points I'll probably just take a break from sitting here and go outside and You know lay in my hammock, which is my thought place and you know We're getting into the hotter season here in Florida So I won't be able to link it much in the coming months, but the weather's still decent right now and And I like to lay out there and think and I've done some videos talking to you guys just talking about stuff So it's gonna be like a change up not just tutorials. I'll do some some functional stuff here But a lot of it's just gonna be me talking to you guys as well Again, we're gonna be looking at the ESPA 266 chip Which might be a disaster because I'm doing a project Which I thought out and wrote the code for and I've done a test, but I haven't actually hooked it up to the system I'm gonna hook it up to I'm gonna do that for you guys and Hopefully it works and hopefully it's not just a whole bunch of me fumbling around if it is please put up with me for a bit Later on I might get together with ember and on her computer And have her show you some stuff because you guys seem to like last time she did a view we'll see how she does live And oh and of course almost every day I play some some doom So maybe at some point I'll just play some doom Just because and yeah, I pretty much every night after the kids go to sleep Have that an hour my wife does her stuff She showers and stuff like that and and then we we get together watch TV after that But I had like an hour and lots of times I spend that hour relaxing and I use part of that to play a level or two of doom original doom original doom and doom 2 and Speaking of doom So this is a 3d print a buddy of mine made of mine a 3d print a buddy of mine made It just says dooms supposed to be a keychain although it's the hole is not big enough He said it was originally a bigger thing He shrugged down to the keychain side just cuz he has 3d printer want to play around and he knew I liked doom He's way too young tree member doom. I think he was probably born around the same time doom came out So Also with this life is the streaming you might hear my kids and stuff because this is going throughout the day So my family is doing stuff. I'm gonna be doing stuff I might have to stop and walk away from the camera for a bit and just leave things So to see how it goes but yeah, I'll play some doom and as I was saying I play doom all the time, but Even before doom was open source I've said this before because the the original doom code is really some dirt gpl license The code itself that is even before that it was a very moddable game Which I'm not much of a gamer at all really I in fact can't stand most gamers I think they're like the lowest level of computer users in general. I'm generalizing I don't want to insult people, but you know a lot of gamers are all about the games and again the big rig You know and they don't don't really know that much about computers They just know what graphic cards are good and But people turn to them for help and they really don't know anything about software other than how to install these games So if I just insulted you great But yeah, the what I was saying you see I get sidetracked a lot I play doom all the time and even before it was open source There were tools that you can modify pretty much every aspect of the game You can create levels change the artwork sound all that stuff You know modify the wad files which contained all that that stuff And then there was also back in the day before the source code was available de-hacked. I think it was called I haven't used it in 20 years, but sometimes I get the mods they have those Deh files and that actually changes you can actually create whole new Characters you know objects for the game or modify how they work Without actually getting into the source code nowadays you can get a source code and change it It's probably easier if you you know know a little bit of coding But there it was so Malleable you could change that game so much even before it was open source You could change pretty much every aspect of it. It was amazing that over the last you know It's you know 25 years now dooms been around There's just so many mods out there that I play almost every night or at least a few nights a week and Haven't had to repeat and right now. I'm just doing basic Level mods that might have new sounds and some some new artwork But there's actually a YouTube channel the doom. What's he called the doom game? Let me look up. Let me look it up. Let me look it up. I'm actually subscribed to him Mod mod madness doom mod madness is what his videos are called. Let's see. Oh, that's my my videos I want to go to My subscription feeds Go through here till I see one of his videos and he puts out a few videos a week. Here we go Icarus Icarus live Icarus lives, but his lives is Liv3s He does these videos sometimes live streams called doom mod madness and He plays these mods that are that are completely new games and I've seen examples of Him playing like Donkey Kong Country where someone completely mod doom to run like Donkey Kong Country It looked like Donkey Kong Country. He said it handled horribly But it's just amazing how many different months and I haven't gotten to that aspect of the game Because I haven't had to because I'm still playing just new levels that people create and I can do that a Few nights a week and still I haven't gotten through the list from one website yet and So again, this is just me talking For those of you who aren't joining or just joining I'm gonna try to be streaming all day today We'll see how that goes and a lot of it's just gonna be me talking and babbling and stuff like that Probably boring stuff. Maybe some interesting stuff Me coughing Excuse me But doom has been my favorite game Before you know since the 90s before I knew I knew what Linux was But I didn't never had used it didn't care About free or open-source software and it's so great that my favorite game from back then Has been open source of it under the GPL license and that that doesn't mean that the game is completely You know the developers can't still make money You can still buy doom because the artwork and the levels and the sounds are all still copyrighted and and proprietary But the code itself, which is the most important part if you ask me there's different views on that and but for me There's a difference between code and artwork Where there's the functionality of something and the looks and aesthetics of something I think it's great when they're both free, you know art under a creative commons. It's compatible with the GPL I think you can actually release art under the GPL license I want to say the original artwork of tux the penguin is under a GPL license Let me see if I can look that up real quick Tux art GPL. I don't know Now some creative commons, but that's not the original I want to say I read somewhere that they're original You know the iconic tux artwork Type of tux art it just brings up tux paint tux Linux Maybe tux Linux Wikipedia wiki computing tux mascot GPL Sign-in file or sort of patterns for tux. Okay, so I was talking about files here Yeah, art files of tux the penguin are under the GPL GPL our license are no, that's the article tux mascot, which is licensed under creative commons Okay, so the article incorporates material from the synthesized article tux mascot, which is licensed under a creative common attribution share alike license not supported under the GFDL, okay, which is the the canoe free document license Anyway, let me get back to what I was saying So I think you can release artwork under a GPL license But some of the creative commons not all some of the creative commons licenses are GPL compatible And that's great personally as for when it comes to art and music stuff like that I think any of the creative commons license are great people can disagree But I think that when it comes to art music pictures videos, you know all that sort of stuff the importance is that people can use it and Not control. I mean, I live I live in America and here we have the freedom of speech I think it's ridiculous that we put restrictions on what we can hear and see Because they're copyrighted for for personal use. I don't think there should be really any restrictions I kind of sand commercial use when it comes to art stuff when it comes to software now We're talking about functionality and that's a big problem. You know, we got we got You know, it's kind of like they're in between Copyrights and patents. It's software is functionality. It's how something works and it should be completely free in my opinion artwork You know, I would love to see it completely free, but obviously there's there's different views on that and and whatever Not gonna get into that too much But it I would just love to see you know going off on a little bit of a rant here about video games or software in general But it's like how do video game programmers make money if you if you release your software under a free and open license like the GPL, you know a big part of the games are the the art levels the sound the music You can release your code and at least that way people can make improvements to it People can port it to other systems and it doesn't even cost the company's money Quake one quake two one of them. I think was quake one the source code is actually leaked at one point before it was poured to Linux and People in the community. I believe ported it to Linux Before it was officially ported and then when they decided to port it They used a majority of the code that the community already created from that leak code Which now You know quake one two and three are all under a GPL license, which is great But that just goes to show if you share the source code You know, it's it's how much money do companies put into porting worth the community would do it I want that game on Linux. I am going to port it You know But that doesn't mean that the game is free because the artwork still is and yeah There are projects like when it comes to the original doom as I said the source code is under a GPL license But the artwork is still proprietary well There is the a free doom Project which the goal of that was to replace all the art, you know all the sound all the levels all the music With free art music sound all that stuff. So you have a completely free game and it's great But when it comes to a game a lot of it again is art which is different opinion You can have two games just like original doom and free doom I much still prefer they're both great if if freedom was all I had that would be awesome But the feel I know some of its nostalgia But the artwork and stuff. I just like the original doom better and that's still pride artwork Luckily, I still own, you know all the original CDs from the 90s for doom one two and final doom Ultimate doom is actually the copy. I have the first one So you can release the source code and all it's going to do again with any Software development company releasing the source code is just going to help you because it's going to get you help from a community you're you're basically getting free workers if people are interested in your project at all and people Can't legally just copy your game if it has all the art stuff in there and Again comment below if you feel different than me. I completely understand but to me that's that's I Don't see why all games at least aren't free and open source Because people still you know, well people will copy it. Well people will copy it now, you know Will you get around DRM DRM sucks? I mean you watch any history of DRM all it does is slow people down and usually makes things harder for the end user Not the people who are pirating it pirating it. I hate that term by the way To me pirating and this is my own opinion pirating besides people sailing in ships are people who Make a copy a bootleg copy of something like they go to the movie theater and record and then they sell it I don't consider it pirating if you're just sharing it. It's called sharing not pirating. Anyway Going back to which actually I saw Richard Stallman live once at a conference and he talked about that He goes he goes people ask me why I think about pirating I he said I don't think that people should shoot cannonballs at other ships or something like that Obviously in jest Anyway another example, I knew someone years ago this girl she was a photographer and Very big into the Apple scene and she spent months working with developers to create her own little makeup app So way this worked was it was for iOS You go in there you you would pick the color of your you know skin tone and all that stuff and the colors You like whatever like that and then it would give you pictures of a model With different eyes eye makeup and lip makeup and you'd be able to swipe parts of their face their eyes and their mouth To get see what different looks like and decide what you want great idea, you know Proprietary I think it ended up she didn't it was like a couple of dollars and that gave you support online from her She can ask her questions and stuff like that. I don't think she did very well I think she was very disappointed in the end project. She put a lot of time and money into that Well, she open sourced it. She could have gotten more help and the truth is that particular Program would have been pretty useless without all her photos that she took she took all these photos and line them all up so she can release that under a GPL license and then You know still had Preferably like a creative commons. I would say she make a proprietary proprietary photos. You couldn't copy this at all Personally, I don't like that. I like to see again personal use of art and stuff Fine. I can understand restrictions on commercial But that even if she released it under a creative creative commons commercial license The uh you know no one's going to go through the effort of rebranding it because they can't do that without Replacing all the the photos that the important part is the source code We can improve on it make it better and then you can you know add Functionality to your application again if it's popular if people really don't care no one's going to add to it But if people don't care no one's buying it anyway Uh, but yeah, she could have very easily open sourced that Um And it could have been ported to android as well, you know, someone might have said hey, I like that I'm going to port it and then she would have a copy of that and She can use her artwork in there. Anyway I'm babbling a bit There is some Things that I'm not clear on, you know, and I'm not a lawyer when it comes to licensing and I have tried to get answers from The free software foundation and that is when you create a program under the gpl You can use non-free artwork in it. They say as long as it's not Necessary for the program to run. I think they usually give an example of like a button You know if the button is proprietary artwork and the program won't work without that button You can't do that Which is very confusing because in really any program there is no artwork. You can't replace so I don't see that But one of my confusions is again going back to doom doom is gpl But all the artwork and stuff is is proprietary But obviously that's allowed to be gpl. Why are they allowed to keep their artwork? You know I'm again, you can say Well, you can replace all the artwork, but you can always do that So I've actually talked to people at conferences who previously worked at the free software foundation I've talked I've contacted the free software sound foundation and the problem is they are very defensive um, see the reason I was asking is because I might I like to make games every once in a while. I want to release someone other gpl And I can do some my own artwork, but it's nice to be able to use artwork That is under a creative common license That may or may not be gpl compatible Does that mean that I can't use that artwork in there? And they always think when people are asking like this, they get a lot of people From I've been told by people who have worked for the free software foundation who contact them who are trying to circumvent the gpl They're trying to find loopholes and they're actually contacting the free the the free software foundation to say, hey How do I get around this can I get around this to where I can lock it up? And of course they don't like that and that's not what I was trying to do at all I was trying to get clarification. Am I allowed to use these proprietary or not proprietary, but you know non-compatible Images in my game like a spaceship that's under a creative commons That has some restrictions that are in gpl compatible. Am I violating the gpl? And they and I gave doom as an example. I said how can doom be gpl if all the artwork and stuff is proprietary Obviously you can replace it but you can do that with any artwork in any project and they never really gave me a clear answer but I guess as long as maybe if it's not in bed obviously if you would embed The images like convert it to a base 64. I guess and embed it in the code Obviously that would be an example where it's actually part of the code and would have to be gpl compatible But if it's a separate file the code calls, there's no reason that you shouldn't be able as far as I can see Use proprietary images and music but keep the code open source and free anyway So We're at you know, almost, you know 25 minutes or so half an hour into this little stream here I hope you all are still with me and and that i'm not boring you too much Uh, but uh, we're gonna actually start looking at my computer here momentarily and we're going to um Look at my website. Actually, let me start bringing that up Films by chris.com Load this up. Okay So let's go ahead and switch over to this
