Hi Cheryl I swear that kid sits in there on the zoom with his classmates. I need to sit up straight and He yaks and yammers and I hear him laugh. Haha. My lipstick So I'm just losing my mind like I started to say I can't just sit and watch TV I have it on while I'm doing stuff and you know, I'm not only my board, but I'm really lazy right now There's a million and one things I could be doing Namely that kitchen floor is the worst kitchen floor. It's white Tracy, don't be at yourself friend, please Please please do not be hard on yourself. Now if we were in normal times and You're like it's just you can't let We have enough we have enough we're carrying enough on our shoulders right now. We all are and Some folks like to say well, we're not really doing anything. How can you say that doing nothing?   We know how to do it Cheryl did I say hello? Try clean, but I'm outnumbered with messy people Say good for you. You got some nice son out there. The struggle is real Judith It's real and we can't we can't get down on ourselves. It's two pounds We all know how to work the program. We know how to get it off Like I said, I'm right now. I'm just maintaining even though I am totally on track So funny last night Steve. I don't So when Steve and I if you guys haven't seen my video from yesterday, I was like Interrupt and I said we gotta go for a drive So we drove down sit up straight.  Um, we drove down to the ocean We went to Malibu and we went to a place called Neptune's net and we got some fish tacos and he got some fish and chips and We went for a nice drive and we ate in a truck. And why did I start to tell you guys this? Oh, oh, oh So I was perfectly on track. In fact, the tacos probably all But end up be about five smart points because the tortillas they did not hold up. They were too they were too limp So I scrapped the tortillas and I ate my tacos with the fork and all it was was fish Some pineapple slaw. It's very small amount of avocado sauce no cheese What else pico de gallo so, um When we got home casey case we were allowing casey to come over and hang out with oliver because he hasn't been working So he hasn't been around anybody So they ordered a pizza and they also ordered a big box of brownies from dominos So last night I was sitting here feeling farting around doing something I don't know what and those Pete those brownies were calling my name In all of his voice nana come eat us So I picked up I took him to steven the bedroom. I said you need to do something with these Because I'm gonna I'm gonna eat them. I'm gonna eat them all. I won't stop at one I could have eaten one attracted. I had the points, but it just for me. It doesn't work that way So even though we are in this time of nothingness did anybody do anything different? Or visit with anybody you'd love over the weekend or any such thing Folks live with you. I don't think I know that for sure Hi, hope Man, I'll tell you I picked I picked one up and I had like this little I don't know what you would call it dance. I was like, okay And then I was like no don't do it.  Don't do it now. So I was able not to oh ester I'm sorry. I wish there was a way we could talk. We need we need to figure that out Two pigs and a donkey hope wins Hope hope wins for this weekend for getting the most Uh Different thing going on even I think she's on a farm. So it's I know I I was trying to Parlay that to you because I know that you know I know And it says my husband kept three little ones occupied so I could get in a great workout Oh nice and you clean the bathroom. Maybe I'll clean our bathroom. That's it's so weird But that's the the one thing steve notices or Verbalizes when it's got a good clean. He mentions it. It's like, okay I'm your wife. I'm at home all day You don't have to thank me for cleaning the bathroom So maybe I'll let him come home to that after he treated me as such a nice day yesterday and you know what it helped Look at my mood. It greatly helped to get I mean I'll tell you the the toughest parts As you guys know, I do the reason I say drink your water and know where your bathrooms are is because I do drink my water And I do know where all my bathrooms are And I forgot on the drive down there. I was sipping away at my water just being such a good girl, right? I forgot there are no bathrooms To be had to be used down there on the way home Steve was kind of looking around at things and talking about jobs He's worked on because that's basically where he works down there And I said babe We can't be going on another three hour tour because I got to go to the bathroom And he's like, oh, we'll just stop at the gas station. I'm like, no, we won't babe. There are no bathrooms to be had They want us to stay home. So by staying home, they do not allow us to use public restrooms That's why all the restrooms on the strand were closed and he's like, oh my gosh, right? So that was hard And being the california southern california girl that I am not being able to get on the sand I put my tootsies in the water Was really hard. I mean it's The beach and disneyland are my two happy places. So being right there Hi, honey You know what esther it's working because I totally wasn't thinking about it and next time because we're going to do this regularly now I'm going to Steve doesn't know it yet and don't any of you guys text him and tell him because I'm going to surprise him But it really helped to take that drive to not be responsible for shorty and just be adults and go and enjoy it and It was great. So I got a plan and and I sprung it on him at two o'clock in the afternoon He hates when I do that, but he did it anyways Let me go back and see What's happening On that note esther chelsea's doing really well And you know, I have a lot of you guys who ask because I don't really talk about her But we talk every night. She's doing super well Um For anybody, let's see. Hope says we're preparing for a meat shortage. Oh Are we getting a meat shortage? How do I like it?  I'm happy with that, but I just thought maybe if I had some caffeine I'd warm and sunny in pennsylvania And honey on that subject again, I don't think it ever was the size of a moment I you know, that's why you guys it's like People say that's kind of a weird thing to say. It's not when you drink a lot of water So when you get down there and you're like, oh Heck no Luckily, I didn't get to that point because there have been times in the original 35 remember the disneyland story When I was coming home at night by myself And I couldn't find anywhere. Do you remember that story yesterday? Yes yesterday yesterday The meat is the next tp. Oh no. Oh no The stores are half empty limit three meats total. Okay, we'll talk about that in a minute I don't want to get depressed yet 49 degrees in illinois. So many of you guys are in illinois. Really? Do I need to go stock stock up on meat?  What's that little? Oh, it's a toilet. I couldn't see it It's super beautiful here. What's the weather out there?

Um Let me see. I'm trying to think of who else would be helpful in that department Because I do a lot of talking, but I don't do a lot of cooking. You have to watch her. She's She's so great. She puts so much work into her videos you guys Who don't who don't film what she does not only what she's doing is a lot of work But setting up her camera editing and all I mean I have mad props respect for christie for the amount of work She does on her videos They amaze me Hi kim We're sitting here talking about nothing because I was bored. So I thought I'd call it all you guys in to talk about nothing with me I'm trying to think of something motivational Motivational Motivational and inspirational But the good bit Um Carrie has not been around sandy doesn't do a lot of cooking I forgot to eat lunch today. I don't think I've ever said that in my life kim I did too I still have time though Diane says I'm so ready to reclaim my life feel like invasion of the body snatchers allow myself to chocolate Oh entertain you I wish I could but I just can't it's not it's not on the schedule today I have other friends. I need to entertain Salty veteran. I don't know salty veteran Salty vet is that a typo or is that somebody's real name salty veteran? Um, I think she is I think she's okay. I think she's she's fine. She's not hurting anybody She's just bored like the rest of us. I'm assuming she's in lockdown over there Hey, honey, you guys are in lockdown over there. Yeah You know am I don't Because I never made them because I didn't care for freestyle and they're a big thing on freestyle And also with my hands. They were too sticky. So I never started making them But I'm sure Hi, Roberta Thanks, but um I'm trying to think Ando Lewis Just with D I guess I'm out of the w w youtube loop you guys you guys know way more than I do for whoever was asking It's because I don't watch You know with christie And christie even knows this I watch her Sporadically because I love her but I don't watch her for content because I'm not a food prepper And I'm a very simple eater. I'm a super duper simple eater And I don't mind eating the same stuff for three years in a row, which is pretty much what I do So that's probably why I why I'm not too um And also you guys you guys need to know that just because like we're all w w youtubers doesn't mean we're all ww pals We may have do the same content, but that doesn't mean you know like I'm friends with some people and some people I don't even I don't even know who they are when you guys talk about them Like salty veteran, which I guess I'm gonna have to look up Hi patricia Seventh week on lockdown I think carry made them too. I'm sure carry has an old video in there Because you guys are essential, right bo. I say bo when I know it's bue because in english It's that's how we spell bo What is the lovely lady with the parrot call? Oh divina. Thank you. Oh my gosh, honey. Thank you. Yes my Pal divina I completely She is a cook like nobody else. What's the name of her channel? skinny jeans for lifetime Please go check out divina skinny jeans for lifetime. Thank you so much, honey. Oh my gosh. I can't believe I wigged out on her prep was burned as a lot of stuff So you made your own frittatas. I buy mine frozen See, that's why I don't know who does all this great food prep because I don't do it I'm just not a cook. I love to do my cooks cook with me For you guys because it gives me something to do, but um I'm just it's not in my nature. It's not my thing I was actually I was watching christie the other day I think last night when I couldn't sleep and I watched her We all do that huge knife of hers and I think oh my gosh if I even tried to do that my fingers would all be gone within seconds Yeah, I'm a super simple eater I mean as simple as you can get and it's kind of funny because when I had those great taco salad Fish tacos yesterday, you know, they had so much wonderful stuff on them And I like steves better because it's just my ole wrap The way he seasons our fish and that's it Christy's Nate channel is Patricia, I'll tell you about julie in a second Planning us healthy Because she's referring to herself and her husband That she meal plans all their she plans all their meals. She shows everything. It's really fantastic. It's she really should have more Subs than she does Patricia so julie Um She's doing really well She did they just got a new house. Um, she invited us to their housewarming party and we didn't go But I talked to her on the social media and we text and she's good and she's happy and I asked her I said, you know People ask me. Are you gonna come back and she said something to the effect of that was a part of My old life And so I don't think she's gonna be back but for anybody who missing her I miss her too and she is doing well and That's all I want for her Just want her happy. I love her to pieces And she needs to be happy Thank you, judith Well The oatmeal cook with me I did this morning is about as simple as you can get I don't like the biggest doofus when I got done. I was like, well Okay, let's make a whole cook with me. I'm boiling up some oatmeal and throwing some sugared strawberries on there Tracy says I've never been a good cook until I started doing ww looking for something to eat Love to try different recipes Yes, that that's teah.  I think it was a fish taco in an oley wrap Speaking of fish tacos in oley wraps Absolutely kim and that's why I sent m over there Because her foods are phenomenal and she's got the greatest ideas and a lot of them are hers And she'll pick up recipes in different spots and always gives those people shout outs Um, she's just really great. Hi jennifer. How are you today, honey? And but yeah, I just I try Um, I like to do it on my own terms. You know what?  I don't She does. Yeah, she still works for disney Oh Thanks. It's just kind of blocked up there. Oh amanda cypert Yeah, I saw that that's so exciting. Isn't it? That's so very exciting So what did you have to do to get it to come and and and all that? Did you just like put your foot down? I agree, honey. You'll get no argument out of me It's you know, I think sometimes Because I'm a woman. I'm in a grant and I'm a grandmother. I think that's where it really hits me I just feel like I should like to cook But I don't Hi ester were your were your ears burning because I was asking Where you were because you see the little gal below you laying j studios She's over there too She's 11 and she popped in on us and she's been hanging out with all us Older to her broads Yeah Yes Lay j this nice lady below you ester ross newman.

She's busy. She's going to school I can't drink any more of this Oh, that's awesome. I've never been I'd like to go but I don't see it ever happening I'd like to leave seamy valley I don't see that happening either I'll tell you what again going back to the ocean yesterday It's like how many of you guys have seen something or thought of something that we've totally taken for granted until this happened Seeing all the all the people like trying to jockey for a position on pch and Get an empty spot. Some folks did it right though. They found spots that were legal see here what it is is they're they're screwing with our our beaches This beach is closed But the next county line is open and so forth and so on So then people would come over And hit the open beach and park out there and sit in the back with their chairs. I wish if we'd gone earlier I want to do that my husband worked for an iron company and paid for his trip. Oh nice What do you need help with four four by nine? What do you need to know? I'm telling you it was just like something i've never seen before was like something out of a movie It was like the twilight zone. I mean that's like the kind of thing that we keep relating to everything but It was just surreal Going to the nursery to see your dad. I took that for granted. No nursing home. I'm sorry. I don't have my glasses on Oh, Brenda I think people either love to cook or not at all I'm lucky because I've always loved it and that's awesome I think it definitely works work makes working the ww program easier because you can make anything healthier You think because I I have a pretty easy program and Is that what she meant Diane? Oh boy. Did I feel the earthquake? I was awake because it was one of the nights that my body just wasn't having any sleep and I was sitting right back there on that couch And I was sitting on my I was cruising the internet and um It was short. It was very short, but it was very jarring and it definitely caught my attention Feeding the donkey Oh my gosh, thank god Jim's okay, right? Because she facetimed me because I she knew I wasn't on Steve and I were We were he was making dinner and I was sitting here talking to him while he made dinner She facetimed me. So I answered all happy and hi. What are you doing? She's like, I was like, oh, no so, um I called Steve over and we were we both sat and chatted to her for a while because we knew it was going to be a Really really long night for her Yeah, and you know what Jenny? Maybe that has something to do with it too because um Isn't it funny? I just I don't need a big variety. So maybe that has a lot to do with it I was writing down what I had that day when I got a text from channel five Oh from the earthquake. It was at three o'clock in the morning So yeah, it was and I thought for sure Steve would wake up because he wakes up during all the earthquakes But he didn't wake up during that one. Oh avocado. Are you kidding me? It's the best And good for you now. Let me ask you. Do you count your points for your avocado because I do But then again, I'm not weight-watcher. I count everything weight. I do what weight-watchers tells me to do I don't skirt around this. I don't skirt around that I count my coffee creamer. I count my avocado. I count I count everything and you know what? That's how I lost 50 pounds That's how I lost 50 pounds. I did what weight-watchers told me to do You know you get all the you know folks have different opinions and yours may vary from mine Of course That's totally whatever works for your program But for me, especially when you're starting I think you need to do exactly what they tell you to do I do I track bites tells me two ounces for three smart points I love avoc, but it's healthy fats So it's so good for you to take the points for that. It's going to do nothing but help Esther, it's not really amazing. It's just kind of like here's the thing with me is either I do something whole hog Or I don't do it at all. I'm not a half-asser There you go. I usually have it for breakfast. I usually like to have it with my example. Holy moly. I wish I could see it too Oh, Judith, you know, I I'm not looking for accolades. It's just what worked for me And then you know in my in my mind the way my brain works, too If I were to start saying Well, I'm not going to count avocado because it's as many calories as Something else. It's as many calories Then you start substituting here and you start substituting there And then you start stalling and then you're wondering why the scale isn't working. I know why I'm up now I'm up and I know why um You tried the jude of the method I'm on the green plant. I'm on the green plan. I'm on the green plan and um I love the green plan. You weigh and measure everything. There you go.  I think I need to eat Esther you're rocking it girl. I'm telling you that's awesome I missed my 36 miles. You know what ester you just You don't realize it, but you just challenged me next week when shorty goes to Why am I whistling?  Oh, I bet that would work out beautifully for you I bet that if you're if you're doing whole foods, I bet purple Would rock for you right now Honey, you just cracked me up See that's another thing too. Why some things are easier for me. I never was a butter eater Again at you know at the risk of repeating myself. My mom was a heart nurse We never had butter. We never had fried foods. We never had all that stuff. Okay, ester that sounds awesome And you know, my dad would put butter on his peanut butter and chili sandwich or his peanut butter sandwich and I'd be like, ew Because he didn't grow up with my mom He knew how good butter was. All right kids.  It's 20 to 2 and I haven't eaten since about 7 30 this morning We didn't even have margarine We didn't have anything I have learned so much about food I bet Good job, Jennifer. Keep it up. Keep it up. Keep it up. You will find so much success in all that water drinking I promise you I promise promise promise Thank you, Judith Thank you Thanks, you guys You guys all have a wonderful evening too and thank you for keeping me company And I'm gonna thank you for Steve too because then when he gets home tonight I won't yak his ear off as much I love you all to death. Thank you so much and I'll probably be back tomorrow if I just talk to you


Okay, so this presentation is about Planet A, the tragedy of the commons. A few words about me. My name is Alberto, I'm a software engineer and I'm a licensed time traveler. I just got my license, so I can travel like time. And I come from year 2045 and as a proof, I have this screenshot from, sorry, thank you. So as a proof, I have this screenshot from Etherscan. As you can see, the block height of the Ethereum network is 62 million and the timestamp is around 2045. So if you just wait like, what, 26 years, you should see this block hash at one point. And some people asked me on how the future actually looks like. And so some people are taking holidays on March. This is a friend of mine sending me postcards from there. I mean, yeah, it's cool, but I'm not sure if I want to spend a weekend there. Still, I mean, it's a good place to visit, I guess. Then Ethereum 2.0 has been finally deployed in September 15th, like 2042. And you take the photo? Okay, good, so I connect to the other one. And another thing, Brexit is almost implemented, so we have 15 days for it.  So what does it mean? It means that, this is like the drama slide, so suspense, it means that by the year 2045, the temperature of the world increased by two Celsius degrees.   So I decided, my group that is Social Distantial Protocol, this is our logo more or less, and plus sleep though, we decided to come back to 2019 and play a small game with you. What we developed is called like a serious social game, and this game is running on Ethereum Plasma. Raise your hand if you know what Ethereum Plasma is. Nice, okay, so if you don't know us people with raising, let's raise their hand. And this game is called Planet A, the tragedy of the commons. And it's open source, and yeah, it's developed like on GitHub, so you can follow that link and you'll see everything. And it works more or less like this. Oh, now you see that the quality of my slides decreases a lot because I was doing them out here. So I mean, yeah, but I mean, I think they're still useful. So we have a set of phase of the game and when you enter, for example, an event like this one at the reception, you will get a QR code, okay? The QR code contains like a URL that if you scan will basically load a website on your phone and that looks more or less like this. So this is a screenshot of the actual application. I also have it here that is live and running. And you will have the opportunity later to play the game. So pay some attention here. Together with the QR code, so if you open the QR code, you will receive like some balance in Goalers and a passport. The passport is what allows you to play the game. We have two countries, USA and USB. USA is United States of Ambrosia, while USB is United States of Balloons. And you also get some Goalers, comma I didn't finish this slide. Goalers is actually the combination of girly and dollars. So if you, so that's why it's called Goalers. If you open the passport, so if you tap on the USA passport in this case, in this case, you'll get like your passport with their information. So in this case, I am a citizen of the United States of Ambrosia and my name is Chevron. And I have two other stats here. I have the CO2 that I produce in Gigaton and the CO2 I lock. So how much basically CO2 I'm removing from here. Still in Gigatons. And then I still have the balance as you see. Just for major fun, the name of the passport is basically, is generated by us and is associated to one of what, Jesus Christ. It's associated to one of the top like 50 most polluting companies in the world. Okay. So we have basically this nice database that has like the major like CO2 producers. This is a screenshot. You can also find the link down there. And yeah, here you can see some nice stats. So each of you, after scanning the QR code, we receive a passport and associated to the password. You're basically playing with the name of one of those companies. After the setup phase is done, we have actually the economy phase. So what you need to do is take your phone, go around and handshake with others. Hey, so when you handshake, what happens is that you create value. Okay, this is a bit of an abstract thing, but this is how the game works. So you need to go around and handshake with others. And every time you handshake, you get some gollars out. So you will receive free money. Okay, but the other thing that happens is that you release CO2 to air for everyone. So while the money is yours, CO2 is something shared among all players. And this is how the like start handshake screen looks like. And basically, yeah, from the UI, you'll see a button with handshake. You just press this, you have the QR code and then you'll ask the other person to press the other button to scan it. So we have another like big green button somewhere here on the top bottom right. After you handshake, you earn gollars and then the economy phase can continue. So you can use the gollars to actually buy something of value. For example, you can buy a beer or just a drink here at Seabase. We have like both like 50 vouchers for you guys. So you can actually exchange gollars for value that is a drink. Unfortunately, they don't have quality beer like Sterney here. After a while, the people are playing, we enter the tragedy phase. And basically, again, since the CO2 value, the value of the CO2 is shared among all participants, if this value reaches a specific tipping point, then the beers will start to cost more and more gollars. So instead of two gollars, we'll be like three, four, six, 10 gollars. We also developed a nice dashboard that will be like projected here after I finish the talk. So you can also see how things are going. And as you can see over time, the global value of CO2 is rising. And then there are two different values plus, it's a bit small here, but this is a plus 1.5. The other one is plus two degrees, such as degrees. And if you are able to keep the CO2 level lower than 1.5, a beer is two gollars. If the value of CO2 fluctuates between 1.5 and two, the price of the beer will increase, linearly or exponentially. So the game is not finished yet, okay? So I was too lazy to put the emoji, so I put that one, I think you understand what I mean. So we're still developing the game. Tonight we're just like playing a simplified version of it. And so you will be able to handshake with others, but you won't be able to lower the value of CO2. And let's say it's a feature, not a bug, just to make the game a bit more interesting. And so what we, our plan is to basically finish the game and play it with a thousand of people like at Berlin's FI and the case communication camp 2019. And those events will happen at the end of August. We are also, we also have a grant on Gitcoin. So we already have like 8,000 die pledged by East Berlin and Liebtau to develop the game.  Did you take all of the picture of the URL? This is very important. I'm not kidding. Okay, so it's our turn now.  I think we have someone there. Yes, those two guys, they have like QR codes and they will be next to the bar. Each QR code has again a private key associated with some goalers and their passport. And you can start playing the game right now. With the after you scan the QR code you have enough, you have enough goalers to buy a beer immediately. So you have three goalers, a beer is two. So just get a beer for free from us. You get it here? You can buy it for me? Yes. And then after you buy a beer, also before, I mean that's not the right like order, it's up to you. You can handshake with others.  Because if you're too greedy, then beers will be too expensive for everyone, also for you. But that's also fun. Also, yeah, remember you start with three goalers, one drink is two goalers, and you earn 0.2 goalers for every handshake. Okay, so just to do the math, you have three, you remove two, you have one goaler left. You need to do some other handshakes to go back to two goalers and buy another drink. And I don't have a final slide. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


Survived another day of the Microsoft Ignite conference, which was interesting So, you know, it's been some more time back talking to the vendors. I couldn't really take the camera and interview him Which is noisy crazy But what was fun was talking to the server people as you know It's all the cloud that runs everything and that's cool But it the cloud is physical hardware its computers So I visited the Lenovo booth and Adele booth and They have the hardware running there and specifically they're running something referred to as Azure Stack and it's a On-premise hybrid cloud system. Yeah buzzwords right away But we actually interviewed the guy who it came up with and as the lead architect and all this Jeffery snowver look him up The guy is amazing. He's done some really cool stuff He's you get some alert at us and I'll look for our build podcast and you can he look for our interview with Jeff snowver And he's one of our people we're interviewing you today So I wanted to explore the hardware to talk about it because it was a released as a you know part of the keynote address at the build conference and now it's a Production thing going out now and it's really cool. What the concept is this So if you are using the Azure portal system It allows you to have both on-premise and the cloud and so to speak the Azure Hosted services at the same time and move things between them So you have this local stack and the way they spec this is different So in order for you to run the same platform as they're running in the data center in your office there's a very specific spec and That's what makes this kind of interesting. So they're not saying just pick some hard room We'll give you some software on it's not like it just runs Windows Server when you're running the Azure Stack it actually has to Build a copy of it running locally with the same portal same dashboard and everything else Then you can develop your virtual machines and all of the services that you're going to use and you can move them between a Running locally or running in the cloud or duplicate them and you can do live movements between them And this is a lot of this is very important for places For example that have trouble with internet connectivity and they were talking about one of their larger clients That has stores across the world, but at any given time eight percent of their stores don't have connectivity Due to the area. It's just you know internet goes down things like that. So she we start thinking globally In the manufacturing space and they just lose connectivity But losing connectivity they don't want that to disrupt business, of course So the solution is this they put in these Azure stacks So you deploy the common thing the common application across your entire Network across your entire global network with it hosted there with it's sinking there But if it goes down the high availability side of it is You know the internet connection that doesn't cover high availability So the high availability is it duplicates one copy internally so they can keep working gathering data Running their applications on the Azure Stack locally and as soon as it comes back online Everything sinks back up and that's a lot of what this hardware was designed for was that Now besides that it's just really cool server hardware the way these Lenovo design their servers the way the fans drop in and service ability They designed a server that doesn't require any The lids to be opened up a best way to describe it so it can be serviced on the front in the back when slide out You don't have to actually take it out of the rack and lift the lid up And if you've seen service decks that are in racks it the lifting the lid up usually means you got rails You slide it out in a rail so you can have access to things and so there's a lot of engineering that went into hardware design and It also gets really cool because these all have 23 NVMe drives Solid state arrays of data. It's just a really cool stuff This is the thing the cloud's running on you know This is the other computer that it actually is so it's really cool seeing and You know they put the engineers out there to talk about their equipment So when you get to talk to these people they give you a lot of information about it because they're the engineers that designed it They're not just somebody hired to stand around a booth and hand you a flyer on it They're the people who you know understand the engineering behind it So they're able to speak to it and it's just really cool. It's it's neat seeing all of it physically Because you know even they they kind of I was joking with them about the buzzwords and things like that So like yeah the the cloud and they're like this is what it is and they're you know showing us the servers directly So that was a really cool thing The sunrise is not quite happening because it's really cloudy here in Florida this morning So I don't have that cool sunlight coming in like I did yesterday But I'll keep posting some of these videos and some of that but today is exciting for us because the days We actually record the podcast And I probably will bring my camera down for some later at least post some photos and tweet them out The podcast booth is pretty cool. They have set up. It's a whole studio. It's very professional It's really cool. And so we're gonna be there doing the podcast today and getting our guests lined up and Producing some content which we'll be scattering around on the smlr.us site So look for that if you're interested in the podcast where we you know take our deep dive in the Linux and everything else And I will see you guys later. I'm Keep producing videos. I know these are a little short But that's hard to produce really long content here But if I can line up some interviews and find a good spot to interview someone Who's we're talking a red hat solar winds a few others and seeing who we can get interviews for the Microsoft people I talked to a couple of them and they just like we have to get it approved from PR So if they're not someone like who's already on our guest list, they have to I guess I'm not the clearest But I get the idea. It's corporate policy. They really want to talk. They really like their job So there's like we've got rules and we got to you know have some things that you know That makes sense for corporate companies. I understand that The great stories that are the off-camera ones Just that you know hanging out with all these people spent a lot of fun and you learn a lot and you just meet people So once again, thanks for watching if you like the content here like and subscribe


Well, my daughter's fourth birthday is coming up and we're going to have an astronaut themed party. And I wanted to build her a command center for her spaceship. My original idea was to use a larger tube TV that I have and build a wall unit in the corner of her room. Take a lot of work and a lot of space out of her room and I don't know how long she would actually use it for. Then I thought, oh, maybe I'll make something smaller that hooks to the TV. And I thought maybe about having a Raspberry Pi or a chip computer in there. And then I thought, you know what, she likes playing games. So how about I just make her a arcade controller, spray paint it like a silver metal color, create a astronaut game for her to play, but then it's also usable as a game controller for any game. So I have these game controllers that I've done videos on before that I haven't used all of them yet.  I'm just going to make a small arcade controller. And my plan is to have the joystick and a couple of buttons. I have red ones and blue ones in various sizes that light up one press. So I thought I might do some red and some blue. And I also thought that I would also not only have the game controller board in there for the generic game controller or USB to the game, but also maybe I'll put an ESP chip in here with a Matrix LED display that I can send different messages to and have tech scroll across the top of the screen here to make it more of a command center. So that's what we're working on today. So this is the basic layout I'm thinking of doing. Game controller over here. You know, a start and a select button up here. And then A, B, A, B, or at least four buttons over here with the little LED Matrix display over here. It might be cool to have the second one over here or maybe two in a row so the text can scroll. I'm not sure yet, but I'll leave room in both those spots for that. So now I just need to mark out where I want to drill the holes. Also, I'm going to cut these corners off at a 45 degree angle. And of course at the very end, bevel all the edges with a sander. Drilled one inch hole, which is how wide these are, but it's nice. I could probably force it in there, but I don't want to damage the button. The next size up drill I have for drilling the holes is one and a quarter inch, which would work. But then the button might be a little loose, although the screw on connectors might make it tight. I don't want to make the hole too big. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to just get a routing tool and see if I can route out some of that. Because I would like these to fit really snug and not be loose at all. So let's give that a try. In the last clip, I think I might have said routing tool, which I have a routing tool, but I meant Dremel tool. So let's go ahead and put this little sander on there and just see if we can sand away just enough to let the button slide in there. And then we'll decide what to do from there. And there we go. So I'm going to continue drilling one inch holes and then just sand them out with the Dremel tool afterwards to make them fit. Because that fits perfectly in there. But in the last year I picked it up because I have all these tools. And although you can do this with a handsaw, it's very easy to get the angled cuts. I can go like that. It locks in at 45 degrees. All I should have to do is draw a line measured in from each side to make sure that the cuts are the same. But that should give me a clean 45. But if you don't have one of these, just measuring out and using a handsaw should be good enough. So I think three inches should be good. I'm just going to double check my measurements here. I've already drawn the marks, but three inches there. Three inches on the other side. And I made the marks on the flip side since I'll have to flip it over to make the cut on the opposite side. Yep, seems good. Safety goggles on. Here we go. Line this up. Should be good. Here we go. Be good if I plug the saw in. Ah, electricity helps.  There we go. We got our joystick, start, stop, or sorry, select, start. And some buttons for some gameplay. And our nice little 45 degree angles down here. This will be sanded down. Again, I have a metallic silver spray paint can I got for three bucks.  Might even be able to get away with making it square. That would be simple. And I'll probably put hinges on it to make it easy to access it in case there's any issues. So here's the back of the board. And, you know, I have my controller board here. The game pad emulator. So this is going to be powered through USB to whatever computer I hook it to. I could put it right there in the middle. But we have to remember that the joystick is going to go here, which is going to be our largest component. I still need to, because I can't remember which way is up and down and which way is left and right, because that would make a difference whether I mount it this way or this way. And it is rectangular. Hopefully it's this way because I just now realized that this might not get in the way of one of our buttonholes here. That's not good. And I thought I measured everything out.  So hopefully we can pray it goes this way. Obviously for the games I designed, and I guess most games you can program the controllers either way, but it'd be nice to have the default set properly. If it went that way, I could put this board here. The buttons don't take up much space. Our biggest component is going to be this, depth-wise. The joystick is probably about an inch and a half deep. So I'll probably make my enclosure two inches just to give myself extra room. But run wires to here. And then I also, as I said, hope to put up in this corner here that's LED matrix powered by an ESP8266 development board, which I can hopefully power off of this. This has some 5-volt outputs. The ESP826 development board takes the USB in, so I should be able to splice an old USB wire, plug it directly in there. If not, if I need to go some other route, some ESP chips are powered off of 3.3 volt. I do have a step-down converter I haven't used yet, and I should be able to down it. So I'm hoping to power all this through USB to this board and then power the ESP and the display off of that. I don't see why that wouldn't work. I just haven't tested it yet, and that is why I haven't cut the hole for the display yet. But the ESP is pretty small, should be able to mount there. Again, our biggest thing is this, and I just hope that... Wait a second. Okay, so it's longer in one direction. So I have to remember, hopefully, if this is up and down, this is up and that's down. We're going to be over our hole here. That's why I didn't notice it. I thought I'd check that out. See, you never know. It looks like it's centered, but it's not, I guess. Okay. Well, it is all of a sudden getting ready to pour here. It is Florida, and it does rain a lot. And actually, hopefully, cool things out. So my SD card is about full on my camera here, so I think that means that I'm done for today. We will continue this project next week. Thank you for watching.

SOMFE 2022 is out now and it's the most comprehensive report ever published by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean. It confirms that while positive trends continue for key fishery resources, the sector remains under stress. During the past decade, the over-exploitation of stocks has diminished. Key species under management plans have seen an accelerated reduction of fishing pressure. However, 73% of commercial species are still over-exploited and fishing pressure is still double what is considered sustainable. Moreover, the fisheries sector has suffered losses in catches, revenues and jobs. In order to put the sector on the path to sustainability, the key is to adopt and enforce management measures. Common sole, turbot and European hake, all key species under management plans show striking reductions in fishing pressure. For some of these stocks, this is already allowing the rebuilding of biomass. The GFCM is implementing 10 multi-annual management plans, targeting certain priority stocks and including nearly 7,000 active vessels. It has also established 10 fisheries restricted areas to ensure the conservation of specific stocks and deep-sea ecosystems. The fisheries sector generates an annual revenue of US$2.9 billion and creates an estimated half a million jobs. But the workforce is aging. It's essential to support generational turnover and particularly so for small-scale fisheries which represent the majority of the fleet. More social protections are needed for this sector, which contributes over half the total number of jobs. SOMFE 2022 serves as a valuable tool to guide action towards a sustainable future. The GFCM is on the right path, but the challenges are significant. Prompt and concerted action by countries is the only way to ensure that fisheries remain a pillar of coastal communities in our region.


...proposo seria kami karateria en repunakikumira kamaa indainye kuhisha kila hivata kutua hewe adanda jeden MāIPC Maryan ...mata m 那i poto tuhокakia ...? kumpetisyon. And I quote, How fair will there be, will it be when there is a league where the referee is appointed by a team and not only a team, but teams, if you persuade me that you will have a fair game, fine. You have heard me, I have heard you. Do you think that is fair? Will we have a middle ground? Does it address a nation when it takes it all? And that was the question. You said that is not true. That is not true. Let me hear it from you. Aguko, I'm a politician and when the DP speaks like that, I know what it means. What does it mean? You know, when you see things that are likely to upset you in a competition as a competitor, then you must raise the red flag. But be that as it may. I don't think that statement is true because IBC composition as it is today requires fixing. However, assuming we are going to get a fresh IBC, the two representatives in parliament who said they will be from two political parties? That is a lie. Are they being appointed by parliament? The two representatives that will take part in appointment of IBC and its commissioners would come from a conglomerate of political parties. We are in an era of collisions and it is possible that the collision that will form government and that that will be in the opposition will only be two. It is possible. And therefore they shall be representing parliament as an institution, not as a political party. And therefore I don't agree with him. And again, look at it this way. I want to go further and maybe just say what Iotrov said but he failed. The reason why that amendment is proposed and if you look at that it touches on the elections act and it's going to go all the way to IBC act because the suitability, competency and capability of the leadership at IBC who these members shall be vetted. The vetting of these members require that you put people who shall guarantee a fair and credible election. Our challenge after every election is a disputed election. Why? Because there are certain individuals that have been believed or have been accused of colluding with the players. So a referee must be checked before the march and that referee must be declared fit to the march. And in this we are talking about the referee being an IBC commission. Now, let me ask you how do you ensure that there is a stake older engagement in appointing the IBC commissioners? It's not only in fact the parliament as an institution is taking very few people. There are others, religious leaders, there are others. So for me, that was a political statement. But you know what? As I said, I'm a politician. I would say the same if I fear or if I feel threatened. These proposals to ensure that we have got IBC that is properly constituted, IBC that is believable, IBC that can do the job are very good for this country because all along after every election, 2007, remember the other commission, ECK, 2013, 2017 all eyes are saying IBC must go. People have gone to court. Why? Because I believe that they have not done the proper job. They have been accusations. What we are saying. So here we are talking about just like the Bible, one leader mentioned the Bible, the report is subject to interpretation. You know we are talking about a legal document, but it is important to explain it to a language that the money can understand. Let me come to you, Julius. Let me weigh in on that one. It is not the first time that this will happen. It happened in 1997 under what we called IPP event. Yes. Now the idea, like my friend has said, is that IBC has always not been trusted for years, whether for good measure or not. Now the idea and to be specific as to what the proposed amendment says, it talks of parliamentary parties. It does not talk of two parties. It talks of to be appointed by parliamentary parties. What that means is that there are parties that are called parliamentary parties and parties that are not. Parliamentary parties basically are parties that have a threshold and a number of they have secured seats in parliament up to a number, particular number. Actually, even this thing we call parliamentary, rather we call political parties, fund. It's not given to every party. It's only given to parliamentary parties. The moment you have formed yourself into a political party and you have secured seats in parliament up to a particular set number, then you qualify to be called a parliamentary party. So in this now, in this case, where is the truth and where is the lie? So in this case the idea is to ensure that your own is in the commission. So that once the results are released, you will not say that IBC was compromised because your own was there. You participated in recruiting. And again maybe to add what he's saying, you see the parliamentary parties, the reason why they are called parliamentary parties is because they have secured seats in parliament. Now, I don't think that only two parties will secure seats in parliament. There will be so many and therefore I go back to what I started by saying in presenting those two members in the vetting committee they shall come from a conglomerate of political parties and that's why coalition building and even if it is coalition it will be concesa that we as the opposition we as government these are the two members that we are presenting. Remember it is strengthening the institution of IBC. Parliament already has got the opposition leader and the government. And therefore it follows that the two factions will be presenting their candidates who are going to vet. It is coming from the strengthening of parliament to strengthening institution that are partners with parliament.
