Hey guys, welcome back to my youtube channel Daniel Rosell here bringing you this video today on Halloween spooky time And also on the eve of the elections in Israel. This is gonna be the fifth time Can you believe it? That is radius have gone to vote for a new government in four years Who would have thunk it that a country the only Jewish country in the world? It could have so many opinions and so many political parties and so much indecision about who's gonna govern them Anyway, I want to talk about a pretty serious subject tonight Change the tone a bit here and that is mental health now the last time I recorded a video regarding mental health or anything connected to it Was in the summer when I talked about the culture of silence among men and particularly among young men when taking SSRAs and I just made that video I think it was Back in August lovely sunny day, and I just kind of sat on my roof and recorded a video And I just wanted to say I am a young man I hope 33 is still considered young and I take an SSRI and if I had known other young men in my social circle who were taking SSRIs or antidepressants and more common Terminology it would have made a big difference. I would have been a lot less scared to get on them So when I made that video was pretty much saying look if anyone draws an ounce of comfort from this video It was a success Now to two nights ago I was watching YouTube because in addition to being a small-time YouTube creator I'm also an enormous fan of YouTube. I probably spend a good two hours per day watching YouTube videos cooking videos Cockpit videos as in aviation videos are my favorites, but I watch documentaries I watch everything on YouTube and I came across this video on my home page from a lady called Hannah Chung and she posted a two-year update about being on Lexapro and I decided to watch it because I've been on Lexapro for going on a year myself 20 milligrams as you can see here in the packaging that I'm holding up to the camera here Minus the Hebrew and Arabic script. It probably looks pretty much the same wherever you go in the world And Hannah's one of those people who you know when I was right now I might I just clicked into it because I'm like oh Lexapro. I take Lexapro I'll watch this video But when when I was looking at taking Lexapro, and I was at a point of absolute fear and Terror of the possibility of taking SSRI videos like the one Hannah put up made all the difference It literally gave me the courage to start taking Psychotropic medication for the first time in my life and by the way every time I sit down to record a video about anything related to Depression or anxiety or mental health or an SSRI There's a very strong voice in my head saying don't do it Daniel. You know don't no one needs to know this and As I've explained before as I've explained before the reason I do occasionally upload videos like this is because You know, I can tell you that when I was at my lowest point Videos like this were what got me over the line and said it's okay to not be okay It's okay to to see a you know to be on mental health medication It's very normal one in ten people. I believe in the US are on an antidepressant ten percent It's not uncommon if you go into a subway on a random day And there's more than ten people in the queue one of those people is taking an SSRI in all probability so In any event I did want to say something a little bit more specific than just these opening remarks in this video Something Hannah said in her video was that she kind of torments herself With these thoughts about do I still need to be on an SSRI medication and I wrote a couple of comments I don't know if she's ever gonna see them or Respond to them, but I wanted to sort of say them anyway to whoever might watch this video Something Hannah said was you know, she's been two years on Lexa Pro It's been life-changing and she can look back upon the life-changing journey that she's been on and see how much has helped her But every time and you know that she Whatever time she takes her medication she Says I have an app on my phone called Medisafe and it really has a sound effect that goes like this Like shaking a pillbox and you get that notification and there must be a thought for millions of people who say do I need to take this medication? Now per the disclaimer that I'm gonna add at the start of this video. I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm not a Psychologist I'm not any kind of mental health professional This is purely the perspective of a patient, but I did want to throw my own experience into the kind of debate or conversation about this so to speak and The point I want to make is as follows my journey to Mental health was a bit circuitous. I first went to a psychiatrist because I found that It's kind of a weird story, but if you want to hear it again, if you haven't heard it before here it is I had gallbladder surgery not many people's mental health story starts with gallbladder surgery, but mine did and I had a lot of stomach problems afterwards and I was trying to get to the bottom of you know, how to feel better and I was looking at everything on my diet and one of the first things I said was I drink a hell of a lot of coffee and When I delved into why he was drinking coffee. I realized it was kind of beyond The reason that most people drink coffee, you know Most people drink coffee because they need a bit of a boost. They feel a bit better taking coffee and I realized that for me it had taken the place of It was something beyond that I couldn't stop drinking coffee not beyond the kind of You know withdrawal period and you get through some headaches and you kind of get off coffee for me It was way way way beyond that. It was like can't live without coffee. I can't summon up the motivation without coffee I can't focus without coffee So I put this into Google and I think a couple of searches led me to ADHD Very very common for people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, especially adults to self-medicate with stimulants including coffee Caffeine's probably the only stimulant that you can get over the counter So I enter psychiatrists and said look I need to clean up my diet I need to get rid of I'm drinking so much coffee and I know it's there's some reason for us Is there any chance I might have ADHD? Psychiatrists said Maybe do you want to try an SS or higher? Do you want to try a stimulant? And I'm actually not kidding that was literally how the conversation went down. It was like red pill blue pill in the matrix Everyone's seen the matrix, right? So I went for the blue pill. I went for the asset. I went for the stimulant I went for Ritalin. I took the ADHD diagnosis and probably two or three months after taking Ritalin. I Was at the lowest point I've ever been. I was literally my dips in my depression I'd gone from being kind of moderate dips with my daily coffee habit to Very very far down. Just to say that so I went back to a new doctor because this guy retired the first guy I saw and He said you know what you have ADHD, but if you want to continue with treatment, you're gonna have to start an SSRI because What this drug has done to you is not okay, and you know, it could be dangerous. You could be suicidal, etc So I started an SSRI and I felt amazing Unfortunately, I When I was able to go back on ADHD medication Vyvanse After a few months, I was convinced that Vyvanse was the answer Vyvanse was amazing. I was like I can do anything on Vyvanse. So I said what this SSRI? I don't need this SSRI. It's it's doing nothing. All I needed was Vyvanse I just needed this other stimulant drug and it all works and You can probably guess how the story ends. I hit again another another horrible horrible It actually scares me that the hairs on the back of my neck stick up thinking about this low point How bad it was when I just when I came off Vyvanse and I told my doctor that's it. I'm done I'm not taking Zoloft anymore. Sorry Zoloft. I got all these drugs mixed up so Long story short after all this I went back to my psychiatrist. We tried one more drug which is well buterin, which is a Drug typically given it's kind of an off-label depression drug not SSRIs It's got very stimulate stimulating properties and the exact same thing happens again. I was convinced this was The answer. I was amazing. I didn't need coffee. I had all the energy and then my depression got Just as bad as it was on Vyvanse So I finally went back to my psychiatrist And I said I'm done with stimulants. We've tried five different stimulant medications They've all had the same effect. I feel amazing that I feel terrible and the only thing that's actually helped me Consistently has been an SSRI. Can I go back on the SSRI? So the psychiatrist said no problem. We'll put you back on SSRI I don't know if this is how it's supposed to be but this is how it happened for me Anyway, the point of all this story that I'm kind of building up to is as follows What I told my psychiatrist is what I'm gonna tell you when I was on a The various stimulants I was on Vyvanse, Ritalin Well buttern I put in the same category Subjectively I felt amazing Objectively my my wife who I live with who sees me more than any other person Didn't say I was going crazy, but she was like I could see it was not good for you It was exacerbating all your kind of slightly obsessive tendencies and it was just not a good medication for you and I said to my wife Hannah I Feel of all the drugs I've tried that I was the nicest person the best person the most compassionate person The most sociable person the most relaxed person the most happy person on an SSRI and she said yep That would be my opinion too. So what I would say Hannah and I'm the other Hannah and all my wife Hannah the Hannah the The YouTube Hannah I mentioned at the start of this video to draw it all back to this She kind of beats herself up. She says, you know, I've been on Lexa Pro for two years It's been a game changer but she has this daily moment where she says do I need to be honest and What my experience has taught me is that I'm a very very bad judge of How much an SSRI helps me? I Overestimated to a Crazy degree how much stimulants were helping me. I thought stimulants were unlocking all my Latent potential and that's all I needed and they were really not that actually really not helping me and SSRI was keeping everything together and I said and I must took that for violence and said I don't need it so When you go to a psychiatrist and they ask Questions like what does your wife think of your behavior or what does your husband think of your behavior? What do your co-workers think your behavior? There's a reason that's a common line of questioning when you're talking to a psychiatrist and that's because Are some as psychiatric patients whether you have anxiety Depression ADHD bipolar schizophrenia whatever mental health problem you have It's not a good idea to trust upon your subjective perception of how a medications affecting you The the the process that seems to work for most psychiatrists is some combination of here is your subjective the patient's estimation Here's an objective estimation from the love from the people close to the patient and the composite of those two perceptions is a Good estimation of how this drugs actually facts in the patient So what I said to Hannah, I don't know if she's ever gonna read my comments or my comments on her video was you know I completely empathize With where she is because I'm one year Alexa pro and I have these daily thoughts of Do I need to be taking this pill as a time to get off that I can imagine after two years those thoughts only become louder but I have a periodic reminder two things I remember the fact that How grossly I underestimated how much my accessory was helping me When I chose to come off it foolishly and went back on it then I Remember how much I overestimated the extent to which stimulants were helping me and Finally, I guess if something is helping you if you can accept that finally that you know your brain might need a Selective serotonin we uptake inhibitor to trick the brain to keeping the serotonin around Debusting the serotonin and we know that depression isn't actually cured by serotonin It's it's that the serotonin hypothesis has been sort of debunked and it seems like it's some downstream effect The truth is no one really understands the brain But when I think about the kind of negative of negative negatives to come as being on an SSRI You know, perhaps you're experiencing weight gain perhaps your experience Experiencing sexual dysfunction perhaps you're a bit more tired Those are things that people rarely forget about but what people Commonly forget about is the risks and the experience of not being on an SSRI of not being on medication if you have depression the very real risk of Your depression ending in suicide God forbid or a suicidal attempt God forbid or on a less dramatic note just maybe loss of employment and general day-to-day misery something more like Dostemia persistent depressive disorder, which was more my depression. It was a very very low level but very very sticky depression that kind of didn't budge and Occasionally I'm pretty good about taking my lexapro on time. I attribute that to Keeping a pill Dispenser on my desk and I also use a great app called Medisafe, which I highly recommend Everyone take a medication install this app on their phone. It's free and it gives you dirty reminders There is a sound effect like this of a pillbox shaking of when to take your medication So I think I've rarely I don't think I've ever forgotten on almost a year to take my lexapro Which is pretty good if I can to my own horn a few times. I have taken it late due to not bringing my lexapro with me staying out late at a concert whatever life happens and I have noticed if I'm more than six hours late taking my lexapro I can hear that voice in my head not literally a voice in my head, but that kind of that kind of thinking pattern of negativity of You're not good enough of low self-esteem blah blah blah. I can subtly feel it Coming back to the four of my consciousness and That's when I realized that's that always wakes me up. It says Okay, this is a reminder that you still need to assess us alright And by the way one last point because I realize I've been talking for 15 minutes now I'm gonna wrap up this blog post some of the content. I really enjoy in YouTube. I try to keep up with different psychiatric channels talking about you know research into Psychiatric illness or a mental illness and that kind of thing and there's a few great lectures I've watched one of them that really caught my interest I was talking about brain scans of depressed patients untreated depressed patients Treated depressed patients and controls and something I find fascinating was that when they looked at the brain scans of Treaty depressed patients versus untreated depressed patients. They found a lot of similarities Don't ask me for the link or if you do I'll dig through my YouTube history and find it but the What the kind of finding of that neuroimaging was was that basically When you're a treated depressed patient, don't be tricked into thinking you're fixed your brain is pry is still very much primed To relapse into depression and the fact that you're staying at a depression is thanks to the tremendous advances of psychiatry With less you need to remind you the first psychotropic psychotropic medication Thorazine only came onto the market in the 1950s before that if you were schizophrenic or Severely depressed or severely anxious you got thrown into a mental asylum And I say this not to scare monger, but rather to say that stop for a moment and appreciate the Advancements in psychiatry that have been necessary to just get to the point that you could take a Pill every day and have your anxiety or your OCD or your depression Controlled yes, we haven't got to the point where there's some kind of a magic pill We can take that'll forever vanquish or depression anxiety or OCD But this is the best we have right now and I think my final comment to Hannah This is what I'll end the video with was I'm waiting for that magic pill or for that magic perhaps TMS or for Psychedelic therapy to advance Some kind of reliable and safe Intervention that will take place that will Permanently indefinitely cure depression and anxiety until then I think I would be insane To stop taking this medication only because I didn't like the fact that I have to take a pill every day to To feel good, you know what I have I have asthma here's my asthma inhaler just happened to be on my desk now I don't love the fact that I have to take this thing every day to breathe But it is what it is I don't think about it anymore and that's very much after one year on Lexapro. That's kind of the way I'm starting to think about Lexapro Keep one in your pocket pop a pill by one of those pill holders from Ali Express or from eBay or from Amazon Have a spare pill put it on your keys. Keep one in your car Just don't so just so it's a no-brainer You always have it put a reminder on your phone and meta-safe that you have to take it at a certain time and try to take it within either on time or within an hour of the alert going off and versus being untreated depressed and miserable and horrible and Spiraling and potentially God forbid feeling suicidal from time to time or increasingly so It's a good trade-off even though there are side effects. I won't go on anymore I hope I've got some cogent points across in this very stream of stream of Train of thought consciousness. Thank you guys for watching Periodically, there will be videos like this popping up on this YouTube channel so if you do want to get more now and again do stick around and Wishing everyone struggling everyone out there struggling with any mental illness whether it's depression anxiety ADHD bipolar schizophrenia success and please Just as a patient not as a doctor Don't beat yourself up over the need to take daily medication because there is enough beating up going on Without you adding to it for no reason and it's a blessing that in the year 2022 we have Effective albeit imperfect drugs available for treatment and don't spit in the face of science really it's taken all this time to get here use every Advantage you can get Including medications like these. Thank you guys for watching. Have a great one and stick around if you're gonna get more videos


Alright, here's a quick follow-up video to last week's design where I showed my approach to creating this print-in-place hinged phone stand. So if you haven't checked out that video, make sure to go check it out. I show my design approach to creating this hinged phone stand and it's a print-in-place model which means no assembly required. You simply pop it out of your build plate and it hinges and allows you to fold it and unfold it. Really neat 3D printing technique here that you can apply to so many different projects. So today what I wanted to show was how I printed it and as you can see it's got this really neat pattern here and I didn't design that in Fusion 360, I simply took advantage of some slicer settings to bring out these really neat infill designs. So alright, we're going to start here at the Fusion model and one thing you want to know is that this design here is made up of two separate bodies and the thing is they don't touch. These two bodies do not overlap. If I bring in our section analysis here you can see that we have a little clearance gap between the two bodies. So we're going to have to send two bodies to our slicer and the way we do that is we simply right click here right under our browser and where it says the name of our file. Right click there and go to save as mesh and basically whatever model you have toggled on here it'll go ahead and send. So if you have the little visibility on it'll send that to your slicer. You'll get this dialog box here and basically you can choose the format you want to send it 3MF or STL and if you want it to go directly to your slicer just make sure you have this button checked send to 3D print utility and you can tell at which slicer you want here and it'll go ahead and open up your slicer and send it right to it. If you do just want to save it as an STL or 3MF as a separate file just uncheck this button. But I have this set to go to my Prusa Slicer and I just love this feature in Fusion 360 because all I do is click OK and Fusion will automatically open up my slicer and throw the model on the build plate. So let's take a look at this. Right now I have my settings here sent to 0.25 millimeter layer height as my resolution. So that's that draft mode and if everything else is pretty much default. So if I click slice now you'll see that we get this situation here. So normal defaults you get a few layers of bottom solid bottom layers I believe that's four layers there and then it starts doing the infill and then it does the four layers of top infill there and it does the same thing for the hinge there. So first thing we'll do is let's get rid of that top and bottom layer because we just want to see that infill pattern there. So to do that we go to our print settings here and we're going to go to layers and perimeters and then that's the first tab here. You'll see we have a section here for solid layers right under horizontal shells and we're going to take the four for the top make that zero and do the same thing for the bottom. Now if we go back to our platter here and then we re-slice it we can see we just have that infill there with no top or bottom layers. So let's go ahead and change the pattern here. This is the grid which is cool but there's some more interesting ones there we can take advantage of. To do that we'll go to our infill tab here and we'll see our fill pattern here we're going to change that from grid to the gyroid. I really like the gyroid but there are other fun designs here you can definitely experiment with. So I'll select gyroid go back to the platter and then re-slice it and now we get this really cool pattern there. So a lot easier to do it here than to try to design this infusion. So with that we can then change our infill so that's 20% if we wanted you know less dense of an infill here we can just highlight this change that to 5 and then re-slice that and we can see we get this situation here which is definitely too sparse there. So we can change that let's say I think 15 was a good infill pattern so we'll slice that at 15 maybe even like 10 bring that to 10 but this is something you can definitely experiment with just make sure every time you change the number here you click on slice not to re-slice it. So I like the look of that but I'll show you a problem here so if I bring this slider down note here actually note that we've got two perimeters here so that's again the default it does two solid perimeters which may be okay around the edges there but if I kind of go up here if we look at that hinge and I bring this slider up notice that it doesn't end up closing it completely we've got a little gap in the middle there and so as it starts to go up if I go one layer at a time that's kind of how it ends so just kind of not enough material around the outside and so what we're going to do is we're going to increase the number of perimeters so we'll go back to print settings go to our layers and perimeters our first tab here and then we're going to change that perimeter which is bring it up by two more make it four instead of two go back to our platter and then we'll re-slice that and you know first thing we'll notice is now we have you know four perimeters here instead of two which is going to make our design quite a bit stronger but the the great thing here is we now fix that issue with this part the top here not closing so if I bring the slider down and then we go up again by layer you can see now it fully closes and it has another layer on top so that fixes that issue so basically just some quick setting changes that you can do here to get this really neat design is go ahead and remove your top and bottom layers those solid layers and then increase your perimeters and that's basically it and then you can play around with your infill setting to get the look you want and change the infill to whatever pattern you like but here's an even more beautiful thing about this is that this design prints in under 20 minutes look at that 19 minutes to to print this so you can just have like a bunch of these and just pop them out of your build plate and give them to friends and family or maybe at an event and people will love these because it's they're they print quick they're very practical and they look really nice you can just kind of fold this put it in your pocket and you've got this little phone stand with you wherever you go that's kind of what I was going with this I wanted sort of a minimalistic quick print you know phone stand that would allow me to show a print in place technique here that you can use so all right that's it go ahead and try this out experiment with the settings and take a look at again creating this design the tutorial that I have you can follow that to create it and then come back to this one to go ahead and 3d prints it definitely let me know if you try it out let me know in the comments below how it comes out and if you have any questions on my approach here leave those in the comments as well also make sure to check the links I have below in the description I've got some really great resources for you if you're looking to learn how to design your own models with fusion 360 I will see you guys in the next one


So, according to my clock, it's 11.50, and we have now the pleasure to keep you away from lunch as long as possible. So we'll do our very best to make a very long session so that lunch is actually empty when you leave the room. So Matthias and I are going to talk about observability in OpenStack, and going to present the learnings and building blocks from the special interest group monitoring at CSCS project. The special interest group monitoring is a group of people from various CSPs that meet once per week, where we actually exchange ideas on how monitoring and observability should be done. So who are we? To my right, left is Matthias. Matthias Fechner works at OSISM, which is one of the companies that are part of the SCS project, and who actually develop a good part of the reference implementation of the sovereign cloud stack. And Matthias has a fairly long history in infrastructure, and he previously worked at Noa's cloud, and it's also one of the guys who built up the plus cloud open that is based on SCS. Yeah. Felix has been building infrastructure since the late 90s. He's been a part of various open source projects such as OpenBSD, OpenDaven, the last years before joining to SCS project. He was responsible for the technical part of GridSquare. He has been a long time member of extended board of the OSB Alliance. Thanks, Matthias. So before we dive into the learnings and building blocks from the SIG monitoring, I'm actually going to quickly explain what the sovereign cloud stack actually is, and what the project is about. So the vision is that the sovereign cloud stack is a federal cloud technology built entirely with open source software, putting users and providers in control. Since we think that only open source guarantees digital sovereignty by interoperability, transparency, and independence from unlawful claims of certain parties, and thus from any unauthorized interference. Those two actually quotes from our website, and I like to include them every time I present a project because they are very good to describe what we want to do. We have five goals with SCS, which are standardization, certification, transparency, sustainability, as well as federation. So if I say SCS, the sovereign cloud stack is both a reference implementation as well as standard that we are building. Who is behind the project? The project is a project of the Open Source Business Alliance and is supported by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Economic Affairs and Climate Action. The Open Source Business Alliance is a non-profit organization to sanction open source in Germany. We have roughly 190 companies as members, and it resulted or was funded as a result of a merger of two previous organizations that also tried to work on a political level for Linux and Open Source. The SCS stack is actually comprised of a compute storage network, the container layer, and further services. You see on this slide, I'm actually going to move my head out of it, that you will see a lot of familiar things in the reference implementation coming all from OpenStack, and the container layer here is what actually then is the standard that we built. The infrastructure layer is actually what we call an optional standard. So basically, one could also use the container layer on a different foundation than OpenStack. And you see here a lot of the projects that we use and that we build on. In the description for this talk, we actually have that the sovereign cloud stack is built on the shoulder of giants. So basically, we take a lot of these projects, we build up on them, but SCS is not a fork of OpenStack. We actually work as much upstream as possible. So we actually make sure that the companies that work on sovereign cloud stack don't work on sovereign cloud stack by forking code and having it in SCS. But we actually make sure that the people work upstream and that all good stuff ends up upstream and then just trickles back down. By that we actually want to strengthen the Open Source ecosystem and want to make sure that actually the project that everyone benefits from, that those are actually healthy instead of having it somewhere else forked. So that was a quick dive through SCS and with that, I think Matthias wants to talk a bit about observability. Sure. The definition of the expression observability, what kind of expression? Observability is just modern monitoring. Wikipedia say this sentence to this, observability is measure how well internal states of systems can be inferred from knowledge from internal outputs. Felix, what is this picture meaning? Well, actually what you see here is what observing and monitoring of a simple web server could look like. So you have one very simple service that you observe and that you can monitor very simple. And if you actually talk about observability in cloud infrastructure, it looks more like that because it's a whole different beast that you actually have to tackle because it features all sorts of things and not just a simple service. Matthias, why don't you explain why that is the case? That is the case. OpenStack is a hard to monitor because it's like an iceberg from a monitoring perspective. Too many infrastructures are under the watermark. Let us deal with the SCS stack itself. Let's take a little journey from the past to the present into the future of the observability inside the SCS stack. In the beginning is to how build this SCS stack on a green field and the next question, how to monitor this? The answer in the most companies are the existing Nagios, ICI, or fancy solutions. They are well-proofed. In the most cases, they are flexible, customized, and in the most cases, they are far away to be standard. There are limits. You will be informed, but the observe of the complete environment and the foresighted events will find difficult. So what is the manner to design this? In the SICK, we discuss about the best practices we have collected since years. If talk agile as an operator, we want to observe and visualization of our infrastructure and services. If we talk as a customer, we want to observe behavior-based observability. One proof, the putting is to eating it. Open metric systems like Prometheus has a benefit to create it much easier. With the available exporters for every needed task, you will observe about all information of our environment. You are able to combine metrics with the Prometheus queries to create alert rules. With metrics, you are able to get a whole picture of the environment. If you need an exporter, which does not exist, of course, it is possible to read it on your own. So the declaration for the decision for our SICK was very fast clear to use open metrics as a base system for the SCS stack as the first iteration Prometheus. And as an operator, we are focused on infrastructure and as a customer, we are focused on behavior-based observability. Let's focus to the infrastructure parts. We have here from the operator side, we have from the integrator side, and we have also from the vendor. And if we switch the software components, we have Grafana, we have Prometheus, and all our needs we have. So in the community, we discovered that the most companies are the same. So StackHPC and PLOS server had a good base of alert rules, Grafana dashboards, which based on the awesome alert rules, so we begin to integrate it to our system. So one of the things that Kurt and I already mentioned yesterday quickly in our talk on open operations is that we do behavior-based monitoring of SCS clouds. We do that through the public APIs that are available, and through that we actually create workload and measure the time that takes to create the workload until it's fully available. So by that we not only monitor availability, but also get a very clear view of performance delivered to the end customer. And when I joined the SCS project, the OpenStack Health Monitor has been existing for quite a few years since Kurt wrote it back when he was at OpenTelecom cloud, and is actually and that's not a joke, it's a four thousand line shell script. And in one of the first sessions where I was in, we actually discussed how we could extend that and quickly came to the conclusion that while the OpenStack Health Monitor, the way it is currently works really well and is awesome, hardly anyone of us can actually maintain it in a good manner without keeping sanity. And it's actually the OpenStack Health Monitor is what we call, you need to measure what you manage and basically with that we can graph out all the details of the SCS clouds. So the other way, we have the Grafana dashboards for the OpenStack and also at the next page we have the SAF dashboard. But here we see the states of OpenStack like the course, the run, how many instances run at the moment. And yeah, we have a good nutrient states and something else. On the next dashboard, we see the healthy of the SAF cluster, which it's okay for the size I think so. So now we, in our journey to the present, yeah, we now continuous contribution with the awesome alert rules, and the rules are shared on GitHub, we present in autism, we have here and some of the rules are a little bit from the awesome Prometheus alerts we grabbed too. And the other things a little bit from the experience of plus server and stack HPC. So we come now to the future in our journey. And part of actually what is what does it work is that the stuff that is being developed now in this color operations repository is then actually supposed to end up in the official color repositories. So bring it upstream, right. So and from my understanding, it was also discussed at some PTG, correct. So the future, which are the tasks we want to serve to their observability is more than metrics. We have capacity management. We have also aggregating accounting, accounting, aggregated accounting. And that's some challenges. Capacity management for the business case for every company. They want to know how growing up the clusters and the environment. And the other point, we want to build this. I think one of the topics we actually discussed in the last month, Matthias, was how we actually observe OVN. That's correct. We have an, it exists, one OVN exporter from Paul Greenberg that served our need. But the problem with this is in an OVN, open virtual network, SDN, we have such components they want to observe. But every component of this needs this OVN exporter, which are designed to really deliver the huge metrics. And there are some duplicated data. And that is a challenge to salute this in the future. Moving the behavior based monitoring from the shell script further, we ventured into looking at existing frameworks, such as Rally or Tempest. I'm sure both of those are known to you. And with Andre from Plus Server, we actually dove into Rally fairly far to see how we can make Rally work the way we actually would like it to work. And then kind of found out that by doing that with Rally, we would actually abuse Rally for something that's not meant to do. And then we looked a bit further, looked elsewhere, and then we actually found out that the guys at OTC actually in the last years developed what used to be the shell script into something that is really, really cool and is already pretty awesome. And as far as I know, it was presented at the last virtual open-infra-summit. The talk was called Yet Another OpenStack Monitoring Solution. There's also the YouTube link to exactly that talk. And what we will now actually do is see how we can actually take that and make it work in a way that it's useful for more than just OTC, but also for other open-stack environments, such as clouds based on SCS, and make sure that we collaborate there in a good fashion. And of course, if you talk observability, there's much more than just metrics coming from systems. There's also logs. And we actually looked in the ZIG monitoring, what do we want to do in regard to log analysis? Of course, if you talk logs, there come several use cases to mine. So we went through them and initially started with, OK, it's cool to use them for debugging, but also maybe to proactively detect certain error states that you can do something about it before it breaks, predictive maintenance. And the moment we started discussing the use of log and how we do log shipping, of course, legal aspects came to mind because all other sort of things came then. And then we kind of discussed, OK, if you were starting on a green field with an SCS deployment, you want to have a log analysis that comes with it. But in a lot of cases, you don't start green field. You already are in a CSP environment where you have some sort of big log analysis already running. So it also needs to be made sure that we actually ship those logs to an external place. And that's a good example on how we collaborate in the sovereign cloud stack project, because CSPs come together and actually talk how they would benefit from such a solution and bring in their requirements so that we can identify requirements that correlate between all of them and make sure to address them. And of course, you have a cloud. You have customers. And you want to write invoices for those. And then we started talking about the topic of metering, because if you have metrics, you can also do metering. And out of the special interest group, we had then a metering meetup that took part for a few weeks. We actually, a few colleagues from Cloud and Heat came together and discussed how they would actually tackle the subject of metering. And as far as I know, we're actually going to have a tender running for it, because the way SCS works is that with the funding that we have from the federal ministry, we are running tender projects that companies then can apply for and then actually can develop the stuff and being paid for exactly that. So that's something we're going to do with regard to metering. And one of the core principles is that we want to make sure that best practices for cloud stacks are actually shared and documented so that the difficulty to provide high quality cloud services is actually lowered. So no, what we covered for the technical aspects. What are the learnings from the SICK? Felix. Well, that collaboration over competition is actually the paradigm of the hour. So we want to make sure that all the CSPs that we have in our group actually collaborate instead of seeing each other as mere competition. Well, even though there are customers that move from CSPA to CSPB, I would actually like to see a whole lot of customers coming from the big hyperscalers over to all the small CSPs, because that's actually the cake that I see. And so I think it's time to collaborate instead of compete. So if this has somehow raised your interest, I would really like to invite you to check out these GitHub repos. The top is Sauron CloudStack and the bottom one is the GitHub organization from Osism. And I'm going to leave you, of course, there's going to be a recording, so you can always grab it. We have the QR code a little bit for the cover.  Thanks. And I would also like to invite you not to only look at the organizations on GitHub, but also actually join the effort. So there is an active matrix group that you can join. And every Friday at 12.05, we actually have our ZIG monitoring meeting. So show up and discuss with us, bring in ideas, help us, get some insights that you can take back to your company or organization. Yeah. And with that, are there questions?  I'm devastated. I don't have any questions. I'm a bit baffled. OK, no questions. So and there's, of course, the obvious end slide with the other contact information. Thank you to the audience. Thanks for listening.


How's yours? Okay Welcome back to the channel everybody Filming on an iPhone right now first time ever starting out a video with one of these. There's my hands. See not used to that We're wrapping up a googen week here, and oh, yeah, you know that really nice Awesome brand new boat smell with fresh carpet plush like Dr. Scholl's cushion stuff And then it's just pristine boxes everything's in its place. Yeah, that's not happening I'll let the rest of the googens borrow my boat plus Rob's boat. I think they fished in it the rest of the guys fished in it before you even fished This is kind of what Boats look like or any vehicles look like anything really After we just go hard filming videos all week So they need to buy us a great steak dinner or something white claws. There's a menagerie of Tackle the most the cringiest part is this The dirt The red dirt I can tell you Mike one rod. I know his footprints They're very erratic right here. It could also be Perik, you know power poles and half down Raise that back up Yo, no, you know, you have no motor toad.  So that's good Just want to say a big thank you to fun and sunboats for again for letting us borrow these vessels Promise we're gonna have these pristine condition after this week and Just got a little carried away. Apologize made it out on the lake with My boy flair We're gonna do some cranking and I want to try out some other techniques, but We're basically fishing the grass lines out here on the ranch I have cleaned up the boat. It looks quite a bit better.  She looks good offshore too. I gotta say flair was driving it. I was like That's a good vessel right there. There's a nice one there. Just called it just called it flair I'm having a real hard time filming this obviously guys because I don't have a camera on me, but I'm gonna throw this guy back. He was hooked right in the schnoozle right in the middle of his face And something I've been wanting to do is tell the story On these jigs the juicy and the thick jig Um and the design and stuff so when I get my good camera and stuff when I get back to the house I'm gonna tell you but we're just gonna look at some fishes faces and give a couple sniffs first with flair He's got to catch a flight soon head back to his just great farm with the animals Hold my iphone with my hand Working my jig I'm gonna get one or flair's gonna get one here in a second I've got a three eighth ounce Juicy on right now With a bandito bug Well, I should call this the one handed iphone challenge Just straight thumbnail view the entire time Just straight one rod one real thumbnail view That's what it looks like. Oh, yeah Oh, yeah I got me a little grass hole out here That is just it's it's producing bites every time Of course when the camera's on it was I not getting a bite every time crazy about this place It was completely dry five years ago. So all these fish are they are they're all less five years old Just imagine two years What that's gonna be mega fatty. Okay Let you go sir Baby juicy Thick I'll tell you about the names here in a second, but let me just first of all say I've Been in the fishing industry for quite a long time has always been one of my Dreams little small things that you know, I wish I could do to uh Create some jigs help help develop some great jigs That I could put my input in from all my years jig fishing I fell in love with jig fishing early on Help me catch some some of my biggest bass Still to this day, you know pb I gotta catch some of my biggest bass throughout the year on jigs We wanted to make sure that when we were developing these jigs with catch co That we were gonna do it right, you know, we didn't want to have like The jig where the skirt's kind of falling off and then the brush guards weak and you know The hook's kind of crummy like we wanted to do it right out of the gate. So it took some time It's taken a while to watch this hit the shelves in big box stores and online And this has actually been one of our best-selling skews Man, it means a lot to me. So I want to thank you guys first of all for everyone that has fished these Thank you. I hope you're not disappointed because put a lot of time and effort into these the catch co team guys was amazing Their design team their concept team And their go-to-market team is all really great. I can't say enough Great things, but to be able to to watch their design team Basically take the stuff that that we were drawing out and then bring it to life and digital cats And then samples and then us us fishing on the water and all just it went really well We had a few hiccups. We had a few hiccups on brush guards and You know hooks and things like that and we we got it all worked out But the first jig we wanted to create was the juicy jig and the juicy jig It's a casting style jig for all the for all that are not familiar Break one of these half ounce black and blues out real quick This is you know, if you don't have a half ounce black and blue casting jig in your tackle box We'll try them with you the head style on a casting jig Overall, it's like the the the rover of of jigs. I think that was actually one of the names We wanted to come come up with but uh, we came up with juicy just because it's so awesome You could kind of flip with this bait. In fact, I I have and I do sometimes when I've just got it tied on And you know, I'm in a pinch or whatever You can throw it into cover, but it's really designed To be able to cast out fish on the bottom fish light cover Maybe just fish on the sink like you know, if you're fishing around docks or something like that Pitching it you can swim it that the casting jig is just an overall You can literally do like everything with them. They're just not specialized in like swimming or Flipping in a heavy cover. So that's why we have other jigs It is a low profile line tie that is Offset of the hook point So you get a really clear hook set and having a low profile line tie also allows you To work it through the cover a little bit easier. You don't have that big line tie sticking up to get get you snag It has a flat bottom So you can sit this bait on the bottom and when you have your trailer on there So you have a bandito bug or something like that It's going to sit flat and then your trailer is going to pop up and give that nice Defensive crawfish or bluegill posture, you know that bass react to on the brush guard We developed a brush guard that already has sort of a fan to it. It's got an oval shape So it's not it's not just a circle. So you really it's ready to fish right out of the package Brush guard wise you can trim it up from there if you want to trim it down You know, I'll always like to flare mine a little bit before I fish it We went with a mustad hook This is like the the perfect hook for getting a good hook set without like fishing really heavy line You're not using 65 pound braid. Maybe you're using 15 pound tests Kind of you know, clear water You've got a a thinner wire hook, but it's still strong enough to boat flip five pound bass in Four of my pet peeves always with any type of skirted bait is always the rubber bands You know, they're they're good first right out of the box Maybe but then after a while they get crusty and then your skirt starts to kind of slide down and it looks terrible in the water So really the whole purpose of having a skirt on a bait It has flair to it Um, and when that bait is flaring it looks like a bluegill it's stopping It's you know flaring out its gills and its pectoral fins or a crawfish that's giving that defensive posture Any fish that's about to get eaten. It's like, oh crap, you know, don't eat me man I'm trying to look big so you have that pulsating Look to it and when a jig stops in the water and then the skirt flares out it's just So what we wanted to do is make sure we're doing a hand tied skirt and bump that thing close Tight up to the head so that we're getting a good flair in the water The more you trim your skirt the more flair you're going to get. Um, and then lastly We wanted to go with a double Plastic keeper style, you know, that's another pet peeve of mine is putting a plastic On my jig and then I know I set the hook on a few fish or I miss a fish or whatever I swing on them and then the plastic sliding down and I'm having to constantly go back and You know, there's some that like screw lock on there and you can never get off But they're hard to get on there in the first place and I just wanted a double Hook keeper or a double plastic keeper. Excuse me. So this jig has it. It's got one on the top one on the bottom It's just an outstanding Overall jig all the jigs come in some really great colors But definitely want to have black and blue the paint jobs my gosh They are solid to y'all they are just so solid if you can't tell I'm passionate Right there on the bottom of the head Is half ounce, you know, if you're fishing at three eighths Half ounce three quarter one. You don't have to guess. Okay. Now.   So it's designed to go through cover if you look at the head on this again low profile line tie But it is in line with the rest of the hook just meaning that The line tie aligns with the hook that's for strength reasons And penetrating through the cover reasons It's not going to snag up on anything as it's going through because it's it's in the line It's the little path of least resistance the cover will just go around it and it's kind of got that bullet Uh teardrop style head to it. It's got a little bit of a keel on the bottom So when it's falling it could bounce off, you know deflect off a cover, but also punch right through again oval oval style Brush guard on there. Your weight is also listed on there. It's just off to the side It was kind of hard to do this one because of the there's not a whole lot of flat surfaces on this head, but We still wanted to put it on there. So it's just off to the side a little bit. Look at these paint jobs y'all You know, look at this color right here. It's called blue crawl What a what an impressive color that is you put a little blue baby Cracking crawl in the back of this thing. Oh my gosh It is sexual chocolate and versus the casting jig A flipping style jig isn't really meant to be worked on the bottom It's meant to be constantly working through a piece of cover. So when this hits the bottom It's probably going to roll over on its side just like that But when it's going through cover It's going to deflect off and go through and down and come back up through it And that's exactly what you want in a flipping jig and you want to be able to yank on them hard That skirt not come off your plastic not move We made this jig with that in mind. Let's just take a look at a few more colors y'all Really attention to detail. Look at the head color. Look at the paint jobs. These are these are top notch paint They don't chip. We've really spent a ton of time making sure you're getting the best jig for your money And the skirts they just they match the heads really great. So this is bluegill PB and J classic my personal favorite cowboy crawl there's Hardly a dagum crawfish or bluegill in the lake that doesn't match this color right here.  I'm going to put a green pumpkin trailer on that I'm going to put a natural Trailer on that I'm going to put blue baby on that I could put a ton of different colors on that It's going to look amazing mix and match. I just love jigs y'all. I love jigs I had a lot to do with these Because I'm super passionate about them and I hope you guys are going to go out there and fish them I will leave them linked For shopcarls.com Right here. You can go get you some If you sign up to be a shopcarls club member, you're going to save 30 off the entire site that includes all the jigs It includes the Googen baits pretty much everything on the entire site if you sign up to be a carls club member So it's really worth it if you're going to be buying any sort of amount of tackle over over the year and one little tip I'll leave you guys if you're going to fish the kraken cross, which I'm sure a lot of you are on these Take your kraken cross right here. These are segmented So what you want to do is you look at the segments take the top two off We did that purposely So it makes it easy for you to really line this up Then you take it and you're going to rig it all the way up thread it Right between the cross shell there And then push it all the way up double hook double plastic keepers Always split your arms your appendages And look at that y'all Look at the sexiness that is happening on that jig And craw trailer that is ready for the nearest body of water Once again y'all I want to humbly thank you for being a part of this channel Um, I've been on youtube 10 years now now. I'm just really having fun And I'm getting a I'm able to just develop great things working with catch-co Working with Guggen squad. We're just having a great time And really we're changing up the industry standard a little bit If you can't tell I think I think a lot of the the storefronts you'll see you're going to see a lot of green here in the future Thanks to y'all and Big thanks to catch-co too for just giving us a chance to Uh You'll work with them and listen to us and and uh, I just can't say enough y'all. I'm excited May the may the spirit be with you as well. I'm going to sign it off for the day y'all don't forget wintertime fishing jigs are good You can fish them slow, especially if you get a sunny day pitching them around cover What bam you pretty much fish jigs anywhere from 50 feet to dagum one foot of water. They're the most versatile Lure out there in my opinion. Anyway, enough about jigs. God bless you. I'll see y'all on the next day
