 And welcome to me pulling my microphone closer so the audio gets better. I like this how it works It is a another wonderful vlog Thursday, and I forgot to pull up the number. Oh 285 it's at the very top of the screen. I should read that welcome to vlog Thursday episode 285 Cisco testing that's what I've been doing. How about you? What are you guys working on? How's the hundred days of homelab going that's actually I've been tagging as much on I should Because like every day is something constantly being worked on But nonetheless, I really love what Techno Tim did and everything else So it's always cool like I I like when people tag me and Twitter Twitter talking about all those things and that's been Certainly generated a lot of interest. You know, it's just cool seeing all the different awesome homelab projects and stuff like that But the Cisco testing I've been doing has been Less than pain-free we'll just say I don't even know what change and it wants me to save again, but you know, I'm doing these Cisco reviews and I Don't want to cry. I'm not like I'm gonna be honest But I just don't understand some of the Cisco stuff of how they do things like they just I don't like this is the Access points and I'm I got to talk to them to make sure I'm not the one who's wrong But it looks like because this is the Cisco Zoom in a little bit here 140 ac access point. They also sent me a 150. I assume they would work together But they don't and I think that's weird. They actually say something along lines I and I got to confirm. This is all in the documentation. This is like the testing process I got to go through make notes So I can do the review because I don't use these all the time, but one of the things I can point out for sure is Like they have mesh extenders in here and then they have mesh, but you need the mesh Backhaul in order to get the system to talk to other devices But the other devices they sent me for review. We don't apparently show up in the mesh here But yeah, so I'm gonna turn this off because it doesn't need to be Save configuration But it's just not snappy or fast at all. It doesn't the UI experience isn't amazing, but then It's reasonable. I think that's as long as it's usable but I I got to figure out which other devices work with it because I want to understand how this controller works and I'm doing this in real time folks. It just kind of pauses going through some of this stuff. It's just not I'm not blown away with it. We'll just say that actually Cisco lab I Wonder if I've been tested if this will work. I'm setting up VLANs on it Getting that to work editing this will break it. Yeah, we know I Don't remember. Oh, do I have the password noted? I do So I can actually attach my phone to this so we get some stats, but Enterprise or SMB Cisco, this is SMB Cisco stuff This is some of their small business line that's supposed to be relatively affordable Allegedly, let me see what this goes for Just go 140 AC Wow, that's actually pretty cheap We'll Pull this I wish I could just switch sharing to another It'd be so easy if I could do that. We're gonna share my Amazon Amazon page now. I like it to if I could switch or tune them faster But no, they're um, this is their starter kit. So this is one access point plus two extenders What is the model on these extenders because I have an extender, but I don't know which one Which extender do I have and it's in the other room. I'm not gonna go get it I got to start that out. So yeah, they sent me an extender I don't know what the extender came in Same shipment as the 150 model But the 150 doesn't work with the 140 and I didn't see a good product matrix for these So that's gonna be a another thing. So three devices for that But if you buy the four That's a really good price, too So here's the 140 AC. I mean 97 bucks. That's the one I'm logged into is this model right here. That's not bad Um What I think and this is the part it's not a hundred percent clear See say a water whiskey or beer hmm all the above I don't think this is based on Linksys it doesn't look anything like It doesn't look anything like links when you're looking at how it works It's not a linksy style interface at all. I mean, I mean they absorb links So is there some links is, you know in there maybe But you know limited lifetime protection, it's got all kinds of you know, the bells and whistles performance enterprise memo two by two Set up in minutes. I gotta admit this setup was relatively easy. I mean that was not hard to do in this So jump back over to here But as someone said though the product matrix. Yeah not Not really sysco strong point Because if you just try to google what ones work with these because You can if I understand this correctly, maybe it only is the mesh ones Uh, let me find sysco's 140 ac page So here is the page on it simplified management mesh support sysco match Uh business extenders access point Mish extenders or access points. So I guess you need more 140s I'm not sure which models does it work with system Compliance and safety ceiling access mount points Yeah, I guess it works with the extender, but what's the model number of the extenders it supports These are those little details that would be great if we had those but I don't know. This is what makes the review tricky is getting all this information together I google it and it doesn't it doesn't just land me on the page. So Hey, we could be sure to make all their products look like the best ever instead of just giving the matrix so you can Make it educated. Yeah, having a matrix of the products is just I just want to know what features it supports. What can I pair it with that seems like an easy question That should be answered What does it work with because I found through some googling it doesn't work with the 150 Which is the other one they sent me is the 150 But the 150 doesn't seem to have a web interface Um, the 150 wants you to download a phone app and use your phone to configure it. So I'm not I'm going to review that one separate because it's clearly a different product But you'd think 140 ac 150 would be in the same they look the same Um, like physically dimensionally I I just got that one in a box plugged it in thought. Hey, it'll adopt or something and it didn't so There we are But yeah, that's the testing I'm doing with that Like I said, it's not I don't hate the product yet I'm still reviewing it. So, uh, the jury's still out on it. But yeah, having a nice You know where these are updated, uh, they're Updated April 1st, so it's relatively recent product. This documentation serves, uh, to use bias free language for the purpose documents Set in bias freeze to find the language What does that mean bias free language? So I'm going to reach out possibly to the people I talk to I want to make sure I have a clear understanding I don't I I don't want to misrepresent any of the Cisco stuff at all, but I am reviewing some of it. Um It does have some maximums I think this is a weird statement here Maximum of 50 access points, but only recommended 25 Why Why what if you can do 50? Why wouldn't you just say only recommended 25? So, uh Does the 150 this is what I'm not a hundred percent sure of So let's try and find it real quick. Cisco Pull that up you can find the Cisco page on that So here's their 150 page product overview AC dual dual radio access point cluster of, uh, ap's Features supports 1.2 gigs Single-point controllerless technology simplifies the deployment multiple access points without recording additional hardware I the only thing I seen was it I plug it in a network and it needs it seems to need a phone app I didn't see a way to get into the interface on it Maybe i'm wrong or maybe there's something i'm missing Number of access points for cluster four so it clusters somehow Maybe there's some controller software That I need is that in this list somewhere? Broken page so for more information click on this link down here For more information on Cisco small business products video Cisco small business Forbidden pager application nice so 403 sysco really I this was some of the problem I had and why I thought about emailing I'm like do you guys know your small business page is a 403 like I don't get it um That's not even true anymore I no one got fired for sysco. I actually um very large company. They fired the people that bought the sysco Then they fired sysco Sounds like an exume call with David. Yeah, I Like I said, you can see how challenging this is from I'm like If i'm someone who's experiencing this and having trouble finding things like, you know Sorry, we can't find that page report this broken link. I did already before we can report it again Thank you for reporting it. We'll look into it You know, it's all it does I don't know though how i'm supposed to Like review these products that don't have good documentation. Maybe I can find the book for it a manual per se The quick start guide says use a phone app. So It's yeah Seeing you live in uk do you do finish current summer at one of your studios? Uh, you had a security camera behind you Uh, what's the setup mini pc? What's setup mini pc? I don't know. I don't have any pc. So I'm not sure I don't understand the question um In my shoes you had a security cameras behind I use synology for security cameras. Maybe that's the question you're asking so So Yeah, so um, we generally all the security stuff is uh, synology right now That's oh, I mean we do some ubiquity as well. It's just harder to get that in stock Cisco is bad Is del I yeah, maybe The product doesn't have enough license fees. Therefore we're forbidden to learn about it. We'll go with that as an answer That is an answer If the if you don't have a product if you don't have a license fee You can do that. You can uh, you can't learn about things about license fees. I I don't know um For reference And people will probably at least ask to some extent This is um Our lab going in I posted this. Uh, I watched a picture today There's certain a rack everything together. We're going to move all the servers Uh, we have some new ups and I will be doing a review of these ups and just talking about ups stuff So uh, that is definitely on my to-do list I know a lot of people have asked about it and uh, we're going to work within our company that help provide some Uh, looking we have a partner that's going to help us provide a lot of knowledge On ups so we can answer some questions on there Sorry, not enough text. She had Four displays, but I wondered how you got them projecting. Oh that one um You can get them projecting with this analogy, but in that particular one in my old studio Uh, that was done with the unify system the unify has the We it's it's a tube. We call because we we just keep calling it the video tube um, but There's a if you go to the unify page. They have the video tube thing I did a review on it. You can find it, but it's the ubiquity It's only for ubiquity by the way, so it only works with the ubiquity camera system Time to use a guest portal and unify equipment. Uh, the experience issues I hate guest portals because they're always issue in certain AMA company and you can have problems with guest portals I don't like using them. So if I can avoid them, I'm completely happy with avoiding them. They all have issues Cisco enterprise is decent. Cisco enterprise comes with so much confusing licensing Um, does the hardware work? Yes. Does the licensing work? Um The licensing is such a mess and this was I I really wish I could tell this like the full story publicly Because it gives some context to the company, but uh, one of my friends works at a large company and My funniest story having to be with them was basically how Cisco tried to repeatedly redefine what the word Perpetual meant like they just had a different dictionary term for it Because they sold perpetual licenses on some of the stuff that they had bought at this company we're talking millions of dollars spent and Cisco just wanted to redefine the way the license terms work. So those aren't perpetual. Oh, yes, they are right here We paid this much for a perpetual license on this hardware Well, we'll need to renew that and it was this a stupid Stupid problem Uh viewport poe. That's probably what it's called. Let me find that. Um We'll pull the product page up Throw it in the window here. That's the box viewport poe So Sold out not in stock. This is a lot of the ubiquity stuff has been hard to get. Um, lots of stuff's hard to get I mean, it's not just a ubiquity thing, but yep, that's the thing I would say time your videos are always uh, as always, but can you use your invidious shield You can use your invidious shield and solve the protect app. Look at your cameras and cycle through them and stuff through the app Uh Oh, you can use I I've never tried don't have one I mean, I I don't know how well that works Uh, no, these are, um, not eaten these are Pull up the I don't have I don't have a model number I will I just don't have it in my head right now So and these are a lithium. So Yeah sold out extreme power conversion P91 2000 li let's pull those up. I didn't want to pull google being stupid stream our conversion Model number is someone put right there p91 2000 li Let's see Oh all right I got my uh friend jordan here Here we go. We'll go heat through me the link. So I'll throw it in here Throw the link in here There we go bees This is what you're looking at On the page. There we go fancy So this is the one we're looking at through a link in there too. So yes, this is what it'll be running in our rack there It's pretty slick so thank you and Yeah, ladies out Jordan is a friend we'll be uh working together to talk about ups So answer all your ups related questions because there's a lot of them that people seem to have about things so Do you have an acrobat? Sorry. Hi, Tom. Do you have any recommendations on what os application to use and a cloud? vm for port forwarding at home network over vpn not really Not really I mean you can use proxies and things like that. There's but it's not something maybe one day I'll do a video on it. It's not something we really use Can a Cisco rocky a pb usually configure registered before have a location was sold in a new tenant and doesn't have any details I don't know real fuzzy on how that works so Not a hundred percent sure if that's going to be a supported feature I I have never had to take any over that we didn't have access to We've had to have you know, we've had a couple clients that had them and the accounts were transferred over from the old it company Um, but we never lost access to them. So they were just shuffled around Planting switch for me. We could be edge routed a pf sense 200 plus network devices 15 vlands in a hospital Hey, sounds like fun Lots of fun doing all that um The other thing i'm reviewing the other cisco thing Is this here and we'll log into it Now the cisco switch is Not as slow as the access point um But it's pretty slick. I i'm i'm not unhappy with the switch yet Um, they actually have this I think this is cool. You have the Vlands here, but you also have configuration wizards So you can actually just run a wizard creature vlands It's not in it. Yeah It's not super fast There we go. I forgot I didn't have it pulled up. You can launch a wizard And define new vlands here choose the trunk interfaces Choose the vlan id next and yes and Yeah, so that's um Kind of neat Oh, let's see but As I do the testing with it, um The thing I kind of think is weird. So they have that wizard that shows you the dashboard and let you click on the ports But when you're on the dashboard itself It doesn't show the screen in the ports. I just thought it'd be kind of neat if it showed that but it doesn't um But it's got statistics and it shows it here under a system summary And you can click on each port this way give it descriptions and stuff like that. I mean, it's not bad Um, I don't think can you edit? No, you can't edit vlan from here But you can give it descriptions. She still has a different spot for vlan at it But being able to click any of these I haven't tested but I already know the answer because it's cisco I'm willing to bet these ports do not work with anything other than cisco sfps That's kind of a given with cisco though with the way they design them Um, they're pretty strict about that. I did my review of the cisco 1000 series and Yeah, that's another silly thing that the cisco does is on 1000 series is They're like, yep, you're locked into this you're going to use only ours and everyone says but there's a command You can type and that command has actually been removed from that uh cisco system. So Yeah, this is like they're small business stuff. This is the The exact model of this switch is Let me pull it up and uh drop a page for you The idea I think cisco has is making some Um reasonably priced switches Um This is a similar version of the switch for Like 350 on amazon right now. This is not the exact same. Is this um They don't seem to have The exact model is it not in stock That's that one I'm looking for This model the eight port model with poe. Yep So 299 Not not a terrible price limited lifetime protection. So I mean, that's not a terrible price for a switch I mean for the small business market. It's not bad Are the lower cost 40 gigs worth considering over 10 gig hard to find 40 gig switch Uh to use on my desk. I mean, do you need 40 gig? Do you have drives fast enough to sustain that data transfer rate? That's where some people will find that if you don't have the faster drives then You cool. You got a fast connection, which is great if you have something that you need to traverse that fast Um, but 25 gigs become a lot cheaper. Uh, this the ubiquity stuff's become We have one of the ubiquity switches. We've been trying to buy some more but they've been out of stock pretty consistently lately um The 25 gig ubiquity switches. I like those. They seem to work really well. Uh, that's why we want more of them We've installed summit clients and we're you're upgrading our lab at my office. We're thinking why not go 25 gig, you know You're uh, you know, just keep making it faster. Um, some of you may have seen I posted I think this one Is it this video probably I'm gonna go with this one So fill it up in here That slides really well Yeah, they're rolling the racks in and my old studio is becoming a lab So new rack coming into place Yeah, that's what's that's what's going on at the office So they're moving things around Uh, but we're probably we're just going 25 gig for us Yeah, the 40 g was out, uh before the 25 So you can find the 40 g out there for um that in between price So hopefully that makes sense there. Uh, what was your thing I wanted to talk about here? So I've mentioned ups stuff. Oh, there's a new version of true nas out. So let's uh, log into that. Um, it's the new 13.1 update So go ahead and log into this But uh, yeah, I did update to this. Um the You know update as kind of expected all the machines updated so far had no problems at all doing the update So, um, I may do I don't know if I should do a video on it or not. I mean, it's just it's just an incremental update. It's the 13 Uh, you won update, but they you know, the icing is and uh true nas had said there's some good performance gains out of it So it's a little bit faster not substantially, but you know a little bit faster. Um So it's something worth noting But there's not a reason not to upgrade that I could find so far. We've only done A few systems and they all went really really well. So yeah Any thoughts in going 220 on the racks over 120 if you can go to 20 There's some some of the stuff's more efficient at 220 than it is at 120. So go go for it Yes, we're gonna do a whole video on the lab once we get it built I'm filming pieces of it as things get done. Uh, but when we start re-racking and redoing all the servers That's when I'll actually take the time to do the uh, filming of it Problem with unify switches is a lack of proper layer three Do you need layer three if you do don't buy unify? That's my that's my answer on there. So Yeah, in other countries, you only have the 220 options or 400 But the unify switches, whatever someone says I have a requirement for layer three. Well, then don't buy unify Not everyone has a requirement for layer three though Uh of the routing I should say that that if you need routing on your switch, don't buy unify They're terrible at it. That's not that's not the ideal situation Also, sometimes you don't really need routing when you think you do because you can architect architect things differently Um, because switches that can switch and do routing at high speed are expensive It may be cheaper just to re-engineer things a little bit to put things on the same subnet. So they don't have to be routed Can you video on how to download pf sense backup from an automated backup system? Uh, sometimes you just need to configure prior to replacing hardware. So we need to grab it from ftp from netgate No, you have to do it through the netgate interface with your password. So there's no There's no not much of a video to be done on it. I've talked about it But the restore process is load pf sense plug-in password and id and away you go Have I considered 40 net I can figure I consider 40 net garbage Uh, that company has had a they've gotten better But they've had a bunch of terrible security problems from bad coding practices. So I'm not a big fan of 40 net Um, they have a big marketing team behind them that will keep the sales engine moving And get people excited about it, but I'm I'm not thrilled with their product. It doesn't wow me in any way As a matter of fact, their past security problems are just stupid Yes, this is a really good point and point right here 220 vac is typically more efficient and doesn't require as much copper to move The equivalent wattage when compared to 120 vac typical us households use 230 240 and commercial use to a If you actually want a fun video to watch the um, what is his Uh at the poem up on youtube Uh technology So this guy I'll throw a link down below. Um for people who don't know this video has had something like seven But he's got a great Uh video on the whole topic. So it's The u.s. Electrical system is not 120 volts Uh, he breaks that down and there's a lot to it. You can it's a rabbit hole if you want to get a better understanding of how electricity works Um, and why things are like that. So See go back here one of two true nasty question I have only I have core three axon metal and no docker Uh, yeah, but would like to run true command put scale on my old machine. Maybe um Okay, what's the question I guess If I can I only have core trinus core three axon metal with no docker Just you can still run true command. Um, you can try to command a core or scale So is that is that the question is can you put scale on any old machine? Maybe I yeah You can put scale on any of them It runs on debian. So as long as debian supports it, um The generally speaking true nasty scale should support it as well Do I think a j Is it enough to run it? It depends on what you're trying to run This is the problem is I can't tell you it's kind of like I don't know what you're running. It's kind of saying can my computer run games I don't know what game if we don't know what game Then we're not sure what game your computer can run. Um, So that's not an easy answer Like this particular true nas that i'm logging into I need to get updated ignore that. I forgot I forgot until I logged in. I didn't update this one This is an intel atom So This is really slow at 1.5 gigahertz and two Two threads. This is a sadly slow machine Um, but it works works for what I need it for so I can't really answer Will it work? Probably will it work for what you need it for? That's a you question Yeah, technology connections rocks. Absolutely. He's got a great channel I I figured there there's a crossover of people who like watching technology connections And my channel like there has to be I he's one of my favorite people on there All electro boom is good too Does this true nas is specific to certain appliances? No, you can run sure nas on x86 hardware Sorry, I didn't know true command admin console the thing view all machines could run on core Yeah, it well it doesn't run on necessarily core It can control core So, uh, and thank you again for the donation. Uh, by the way, uh each time but the um, you can You run true command generally in their cloud But I think they have a I think they have and it's been a while since I looked A spot to run it locally Um, but generally you run it in their cloud Because it's a subscription service Yeah technology connection very interesting. We'll go with Plus one for that Yeah usm's have 240 line line. Uh, europe has 240 line to neutral Yeah, earth is the extra pin It's yeah, our electrical system is a little different Different than the rest of the world. I don't know I don't know Do we electrify first? I never really thought about that. Like it kind of happened simultaneously, but I don't know who had the most population electrified first. I'm not not an expert at it. So Yeah, two eight is getting more popular. Like my tesla is plugged in At um the 220 So I can run a cloud. I'm sorry again. I didn't have more than 50 drives. So I thought it might be Cheeky user for free I'm not I'm not sure. I don't know what their licensing is now on it. I think they changed it, but I'm not positive Uh, we can look it up though. We have the internet so true command Somewhere we'll find the details that we're looking for Manager true nasty fleet all from one place Um, but where is the licensing? by license That didn't help Where do you I just want to know how much license is hmm uh True command software is free for fit update employee in dock container or as a vm So, yeah So true command software is free to use manage up to 50 drives So that's still that's still how they do it up to 50 drives is free Uh, you can run it in a vm Imagine you'd have to run it in a vm because they don't have a jail for it. They only have a docker image It looks like it goes back to teslan as someone who created a better network and the other one's better at getting ignored out Yeah, yeah, there's a whole the cold controversy between teslan as and it's interesting You're past and distant sales experience I still uh, maybe You have to log in to see the pricing Yeah, I guess for the pricing of what they have I have an account I can log in I think I have an account Let's find out We're gonna learn in real time. I'm logged in another page 60 day trial license 50 day license New subscription so it's uh 100 drives is 20 a month And 300 drives is 60 dollars a month And a thousand drives is 200 a month That's running it in their cloud If you run it self-hosted It's way cheaper. So if you run the self-hosted license 100 drives is 199 a year or A thousand drives is $2,000 a year. So that's not bad to be able to manage everything I have a nice dashboard for all of it a docker or put in a vm So, yeah, it's either run docker or build it in a virtual machine So that's those are the options on there The us did debate uh was between ac and dc. Yeah, tesla understood it better and tesla wanted ac That's um ac that was the superior form of transmitting electricity not dc That's why that's why we still use it Start converting vhs to plex. Oh, yeah, that's a project I haven't done anything like that in a long time Doesn't true nas not like to be run with docker in a vm. Uh, it's the true command software I wouldn't run true nas as a vm. You can it's just not recommended But the true command software which is a management tool to manage all of your true nas servers Even if they're all remote because they all vpm back in That works off of usually like a docker container The day prior docker eyes my zen orchestra My own docker file not as understood runs as a docker container on my synology freed up an extra gig of ram on the cluster Yeah, you can do that, uh for sure In this came up last time I mean you can run zen orchestra not inside of a vm It can be completely somewhere else. It can be a virtual machine on your desktop if it makes you happy. Um, so, yeah It's definitely pretty cool for uh being Be able to you know that way you can move around your infrastructure Or if you have to reboot your xcp and g or if you only have one xcp and g system You can manage it with and reboot it but not lose zen orchestra Oh, you're welcome chris for the true command help. I'll get another g 45 60 for a nice low power vm machine probably Using your preferred xcp and g I I love xcp and g that's still Our new lab is going it's actually we're building a ryzen lab. So uh or epic So amd lab I should say we have a ryzen it works so well that we want to go with some epic processors because they're just so much more power efficient um I did talk to Wendell did the forbidden router with one of those uh amd epics and You know the power usage on it's really low and it's just kind of impressive for the kind of power and processing you get out of it so Any thoughts on moving a well working vm ssd storage rate off a perk h710 mini and onto a zfs pool Uh four drive raid z1. Yeah four drive raid z1 should be fine. You're gonna have to reformat the drives I mean, there's not a you can't just convert the perk over to zfs Uh watch my video on uh doing backups and disaster recovery Once you've taken um Once you've taken all the Time to set it up. Make sure you have your proper backup of everything So I have a whole disaster recovery thing on it. So yeah Yeah, if you got a single node cluster that yeah, because you get through I mean what you do is um I'll show you real quick pull this up One thing that if you're running it like this is you just make sure it's got the Auto power on feature that way whenever you restart it it just auto starts back up and uh That that'll save you from that's how we do ours because we do have to reboot our servers They do run within there when there's a patch and that's the solution they start back up on there. So Uh xcbd really hated one of the systems they had on a j 3455 Well, excuse me yawning a little bit today Netgate question bought a netgate 6100 last year how to activate tech light So I usually start data shipping or start first time connect the internet I don't know that's a them question I've never used I don't think I've ever contacted their support for anything other than Images and to return a bad unit once So I never really paid much attention to that Since vmware got sold out. I make uh, I make new migration plans xcp and g might get all the vms Yeah AC only one because it was backed by westinghouse. They were massive company back and still big today Well, ac1 because it was it would have not been feasible to try to push dc Ryzen, guess it doesn't need ecc for you don't need ecc ecc's nice But yeah You know, it's not needed Nice epic rom system for the home lab. That's some power there. Well lots of compute power But not too much power power electrical power Well, there's always a conversion loss when you go from ac to dc That's how we get those fancy um power ratings when you you know, uh that you see on power supply. So our computer Like these here 80 plus trademark was a volunteer certification program launched in 2004 uh, age unofficially at 2050 rated low power point nine load. This is um Kind of what we were talking about is your power efficiencies And there is a loss There's a conversion loss when you go from ac to dc But if you were to try to push dc to someone's house Then you have a different problem because dc has great loss over distance But you do have to convert it because dc is what has to go into these. This is why um, I think facebook had a rack like this Uh, hold on book server rack But one of the things they do Is I think it will pull it all up together If we're looking at the same thing Some of these liquid cooling manifolds, I think they use a single Rack and power design. Uh, it's not the one Too many windows, uh jumping around But they have a they started doing this so they're not converting as much because now you're doing short distances DC is fine for short distances and you want to avoid conversion loss But if you are doing longer distances, then you're going to want ac to get things on there So peek inside of facebook Next generation rack. It's kind of neat Uh, facebook opens up a lot of their hardware talking about it So it's kind of it's great reading if you just want to understand what a company You you could dislike the company like many of us do But it's fascinating from a technology standpoint how many servers they have to do to to keep everybody's social media running That gate question. Have you tried TNSR? Do you have any use case for it? I don't have a use case for it. It's slick Um, it doesn't have a UI by the way. It's command line driven. So command line and api driven So take that for what it's worth. I don't really have a use case for it. So I don't use it Most rectifier servers are astonishingly efficient even in dc system covered ac and back and yes, they We have gotten way way ahead of you know in the early days of simple bridge rectifiers things like that. We are really The efficiencies are there Engineering, you know to be able to create incredible things that didn't exist not that long ago I mean the the photos I take with my phone the video and everything blows me away for quality And when you think about it, I mean I I didn't just not grow up with cell phones in in the way They are now but like the whole concept of just a screen with a phone that technology went from, you know Futuristic to everyone has one in their hand now. So that yeah, like all technologies things have gotten a whole lot better Got the super micro md. I'm not saying the whole word many I take some other board from my home lab and my strategy is nice because you target cool What is your recommendation sitting up x o a with xcp ng? Do you create a x o a vm on your virtualization node or you compile in a separate machine? I put it in a separate vm That's uh, if you watch my getting started with an open source home lab video That's my recommended way to do it Even inverters took us a 90 efficient back to ac levels of power From cps in this rack is able to convert ac dc at a 95 percent. Yes, and that is the We'll actually pull back up That'll be something I bring up because it's I I find it really interesting how all these work. So we'll be Diving into the video. This is what's in our rack that we're using at the office And yeah, that's what he's talking about. That's the 95 efficiency because of the conversions. So Am I excited about the web telescope? Yeah, I like space stuff. So I like star trek. I like telescopes both are cool I often find people who like telescopes also like star trek in space stuff. So I'm not I don't hate star wars, but I I'm star trek over star wars just so we can have that debate and anyone who needs to know Uh, any plans to jump 240? We have 240 to our homes We just don't utilize it with the exception of certain appliances Like electric dryers electric stoves and electric cars like my tesla are all 240 Well, good afternoon, alexis. I did not I didn't see your other comment. I must I may have missed it. I did not pass it Uh, jwst runs zfs. I don't know Hard to say Well, this was I gonna cover I think that's all I had for today We'll we'll go a few more minutes if there's more questions. I don't think I have I don't have anything else on my agenda. I have some stuff. I want to get done today. That's about it See that's down that's down. Is there anything else? Oh Yeah, why not? Well, we'll throw people these people have asked about this. So we do have this as a comment hot sauce is um This is pretty good. This is the uh Habanero palm It's pretty neat and uh, there's one more in here. I didn't get a name of it though I'm gonna I don't know what to do. Maybe I'll tweet about hot sauces or bring them up in live shows. I don't um We don't really do the hot sauce videos because people would unsubscribe to us for putting those up So we just kind of stopped Can I guess what your favorite tv show is is it star trek? It may not be I don't think alexis it's gonna be star trek I could be wrong. I might be wrong Been out on my bike lately. Yes that I've been doing um so The um, where'd it go? I had a picture somewhere Yeah, I went riding with some friends yesterday. So Yeah, the uh, I have definitely been out on my bike. I went, uh, 270 miles mostly dirt. So, uh, I beat up on the bike pretty good Because I don't have enough content to actually make a separate hot sauce channel. So Not really on my agenda Motorcycle channel maybe That's a maybe Uh, oh this happened. So I rescued a bunch of frogs. So this is my um So you can pull it up here. This is my e-grass. So when I'm looking this way I'm looking at the monitor, but when I look a little bit this way I'm looking at my e-grass out of my studio because my studio is in the basement and uh, why does that matter? because Frogs or toads not frogs. Don't mix them up hatched in there. So I actually had to rescue a bunch of toads So that was fun Oh, the bike video was cool. Yeah, I did I posted a bike video on my twitter But yeah, so I did rescue toads. So that happened. Um Then I released them into my backyard where they Hopefully didn't get eaten by birds and are hopefully doing their job of eating bugs Love the bike. Yeah the um I spent a decent amount of time uh Out of my motorcycle that's that's my get away from tech is um, actually I have two motorcycles Well three my because I my wife has one but she doesn't ride it much. So I have three motorcycles She has a motorcycle. She doesn't ride. I ride my little Honda and I ride my big yamaha I like my little Honda too. This is a 72 Honda. So yeah, that's my other hobby Uh, any time you're going to review trust here another authentication. I'm just uh, still in the works. Yes, um I have it here. I've been using it. I haven't had a problem to use it for a little while See if there's any problems with it. It's Fido and Fido works wherever Fido works. So Yeah, uh, can you install driver updates to the client computers? If yes, so the easy to configure Um, not we install windows updates, but I don't think it does driver updates. No Not not for like but windows handles a lot of the drivers. So kind of because uh windows is doing it You need to have an electric bike. Uh, they don't make any good ones yet electric bikes are a little tricky Are your hands on the daily tech in your business client side or you leave it all to your texts? Uh I don't do I do architecture and design. I'm not the person is often doing the deployment. So it's not I do a lot of the work for the big picture stuff. I love setting up servers and things like that I don't like setting up like a bunch of users in ad for example. That's really not something I do anymore So it kind of depends. Um, my hands are still on the tech just not Not dealing usually with an end user. I usually deal with, um We do a lot of project work with other it companies like or internal it teams That's usually where the work is that I'll do. I don't have to pull in the wire either. Uh, so that's not my thing either You got two of these, uh, this is gonna be three Oh, uh, 3d printing or cnc. Um, my staff does I don't really do it Uh, whenever I need something 3d print, I just ask them to do it and my staff is good at 3d printing things I don't it's cool. I I own three 3d printers. I think or two They're at my office, but I never I've never used them my staff uses and they they like printing things Um, I was actually trained for cnc, but I don't do it anymore Like I that's what I went to school for in the 90s was doing Tool and die and machining. So Are you like chicago pd because of j. Halstead? Cool Uh make a Hot sauce series and bring other it youtubers it brands well percentage trying hot sauce will give the product sales pitch Yeah, we we actually laugh because we thought a cool pitch would be hacker hot ones hack things while you're eating spicy food Um, I mean, yeah, it's a complete ripoff of hot ones But it's so fun And it's not like we would hide it for like hacker hot ones just like regular hot ones, but we interview hackers like Yeah Used to fix cnc machines. Yeah, we um, we have a lot of clients to have them because we have manufacturing clients So they have all these fancy machines but yeah Uh, but that's about it. I'm going to wind it down now Thank you for everyone who joined. I will continue until I have some conclusions in my notes for all the cisco questions I had Looking forward to and I'll leave some comments on this video about the ups stuff Let me know what questions you want because I'll be covering that as a there's always the Probably questions and misconceptions that people may have about ups is and I'm going to be working with someone to bring them on the channel and Or help me put together a good talk on exactly What makes a good ups and all that fun stuff? So Yeah, it's going to be It's going to be fun. I I'm excited getting this whole lab put together and everything else as well So that's huge When we have all that done and yes, I'll be filming it and One of the reasons we're doing it is because I've got a lot more things to test and it's hard to test them Unless they're all lined up in one rack So that's part of the reason we're doing it. It's just to make it all simple To make doing videos easier. So yes You could get the brand guys to come set up and a device in uh what the hot sauce. Yeah Hot sauce keyboard. Yeah, maybe all right. Well, thanks everyone. Take care and see you next time
