In part two of our conversation with João Pedro Sédile, one of the co-founders of the Landless World Workers Movement and a member of the International People's Assembly, he discusses the governability and decision-making capacity of the Lula government in the face of a Conservative Senate and Chamber of Deputies. He also discusses the proposals that the MST will present to the incoming Lula government. We never had a congress. Even in 1988, when we built the best constitution that Vigor until today, we had 16 deputies on the left. All the others were from conservative parties. However, we have managed to build a progressive constitution. So we should not worry about the nature of the congress. The congress reflects the correlation of social forces that exist in society. This process of alliances that Lula has built with sectors of bourgeoisie and traditional parties, these are only part of institutional liturgy to give security to the government. I think Lula is committed to real changes to solve the problems of the people. So the degree of radicality of the Lula government or of advance in structural changes does not depend on these alliances nor on their will. It will depend on the capacity of the popular sources to be mobilized and to press masses. Because in the history of humanity, always, all structural changes were works of mass mobilization. And of course, when you have a progressive government or popular movement with a progressive government, that results in a correlation of forces that can build structural changes. So the changes depend more on us, on the masses, on the popular sources, than on the will of Lula or on any other president. For more than a leftist president, that is how it is said. That is how it is said in Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, or in any country. The 58 million that voted in Bolsonaro are not Bolsonaro's. At least 30 million are poor workers, maybe the poorest we have in society. Maybe the poorest we have in society, who live in the periphery and who were influenced by a lot of money, money applied on the networks, because Brazil is the country of the world most connected to WhatsApp, where the poor have access. So for WhatsApp, for Facebook, for the networks in general, they invested a lot of money to convince and illusion that people. After that, there were many public resources that were managed in a secret way, protected in law, the so-called secret amendments, that applied around $8,000 million in one year, without having the obligation to say where it was applied. And that money, you all know, came to the alcaldias, and the conservative alcaldias transformed them into money that were later to buy votes to illusion people. So I think it is not a job, it is not to worry about the ideology of those 8-10% of middle class white people, who are ideologically reactionary, always were. They are heir to slavery, if you want. They are heir to all the discrimination processes in Brazil, against blacks, against women, against other sexual options. So we should not worry about them, because that right and ignorant always existed and will exist, not only in Brazil, but in all capitalist societies. Our concern is with workers. And there are many challenges that on the left, in general, through popular sources, movements, parties and churches, we must put our concerns. First, to resume the base work, which means helping people to be aware of all forms, but above all with dialogue, going home, distributing materials, talking. Second, to promote mass struggles. People only learn when they fight politically. So the left has to organize the mass struggle. If there is a lack of employment, fight for employment. If there are lack of food, fight for food. If there is a lack of house, fight for house, if there is a lack of land, fight for land. That is to promote mass struggle. Third, we have to promote political formation. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the left abandoned the formation processes. There are almost no schools of political formation. So how are we going to form our militants? Because political formation is to study, to learn from the classics, to learn from the history of the class struggle that every people has. And that is done in the formal spaces of schools, where you have to dedicate time to study. It is not formed by militants with seminars of two or three days in hotels. Always when the left enters a hotel, it is already deformed. Hotels for tourism, for travelers. Forming people is at school, it is in the street, it is in the mass struggle. Fourth, we need to recover the cultural processes. I refer to music, theater, poetry, painters, moralism. Now, through these mechanisms, to lead the political education, to deal with the problems of society, that is what always happened in the history of the class struggle. Since the barricades of the Paris Commune. And we did not learn.  That enters on one side and comes out on the other. So we have to use the cultural media that reach the heart of the people to promote political education. So that the people feel located with the left in a pleasurable cultural way.  And finally, of course, we cannot abandon the mass communication that is done with the networks, with radio, with television. That all these are important spaces to sow true information that people can interact with. So, look, there are many challenges that the left has to face in Brazil, in Latin America, in the world. To be able, in the next period, to face that right-wing wave that exists. Luckily, look at the contradictions. The emergence of the extreme right in the world with its methods of lies. In reality, what they defeated was the social-democratic path. What they defeated was a right. That was believed to be republican, that was believed to be changed every four years. So, as a popular force, we have to take advantage of these contradictions and achieve, then, to build a popular organization that advances beyond what was the social-democracy and is hegemonized by the bourgeoisie. We are going to present concrete proposals to promote a popular agrarian reform to help expand the production of food that so much our people need. To put the agrarian policy in the center of nature's defense, we defend zero-killings, that is, there is no need to plant any more trees. We defend another policy for mining, which is subordinated to the interests of the people. We defend the need for water defense, and for this we have to do a great program of reflorestation in our country, in our cities. Because the tree is to protect water. Where there is a tree, there is water. Where there is no tree, there is no water. And we have to do a great program of solar energy, a great program of education of our people in the field, a great program of implementation of cooperated agro-industries which is what makes progress the social relations of production in the field. All of this we are going to dialogue with the government so that there are changes in agriculture. And I believe that Lula has enough awareness and experience that the changes themselves are in the government, depends on the popular mobilization, on the price. So, the MST will do its role to organize the fields to make pressure for the government. And we will look with the other popular forces that live in the city to face another challenge that we have here in Brazil that are those despised masses that live in the periphery of the cities. They are disorganized, no one organizes them, not even the Pentecostal churches. We only know that they are 70 million, that the majority are women, that the majority are blacks, that the majority are young and that they live in the periphery of the cities. But the left does not know how to organize them, because the methods of organization that we know are from the previous period of industrial capitalism. When, throughout the 20th century, we develop the unions, the associations and the parties, that is not enough to organize the women, the young, the blacks. So, the left has to be creative and look for new forms of organization of those people who live in the periphery. And, hopefully, we can make a dialogue with the government, then propose public policies directed especially to that population that can then reincorporate them into a real citizenship so that they can be part of our society, because now they are isolated, excluded from the productive sphere, from the employment of the rights and public policies.


This is a pretty special mic preamp from Warm Audio, the WA MPX, and I've been using it during the recording of my latest song. So I wanted to let you know just what's so special about it, some specific settings I use during production, and then we'll have a listen to a short demo of the song so we can hear it in context. But before I get into that, I have to let you know it's a bit of a discount fest in the description for this video. Not only have I got my usual VIP link for DistroKid, you'll get 7% off if you use that. But for my Australian viewers, I have an exclusive discount code from one of my favorite shops, Manny's. If you follow that link in the description, you can get 10% off of one of these. There's also links for other countries as well. So let's dive in and find out why I found this so useful. There are two switches in the middle of this unit, which I reckon are at the heart of its sound, which is why we're going to talk about those later. But first of all, we have mic, line and instrument level inputs, with XLR and TRS inputs on the back, as well as an instrument level input on the front. We have 48 volts of phantom power for microphones that need it, as well as a high pass and low pass filter. We also have a polarity switch for those times when you're using more than one microphone and you may have some phase issues. Now we get to one of the more interesting features for me, the high gain switch. This unit uses one tube normally at the input stage and one tube on the output stage. So even when you don't have any of these features switched on, you still get some nice tube warmth when you're using this preamp. However, when you switch on the high gain switch, it introduces a second tube for the input stage, giving us an extra 20 decibels of gain going from 70 to 90 decibels, which is actually quite a lot for most microphones. Now in some situations, you may be using a dynamic microphone or an old ribbon microphone where you really need this extra gain. But I'd encourage you also to experiment with microphones that don't need it. What I did was I had the input level, which is the knob right in the middle here next to the VU meter, which is for output and the output control over here. So I had that input level down really, really low, and then I switched on that high gain. Introducing that extra tube for some extra sort of tube saturation, but also you very easily get a little bit of sort of grittiness in there as well, which you may or may not want. I ultimately didn't use it on my song, but I do think it's worth experimenting with. However, with these two switches that I mentioned earlier, I did use them during my song. Let's talk about the first one, the tone switch. Now as you may guess, the tone control noticeably changes the tone. However, what's actually happening with this is it's switching the input impedance from 600 ohms to 150 ohms. Now you probably should use the 600 ohm setting when you're using something like a condenser microphone or some dynamic microphones. And you should use the 150 ohm setting when you're using something like a ribbon microphone or some dynamic microphones again. However, this is a switch you can abuse and I encourage you to do that. Definitely I would say that when it's engaged, you tend to get a much more sort of gritty, perhaps punchier sort of sound. So I would recommend experimenting with this as I did.  And the sound of that inspiration comes when we switch on the saturation switch. Here we start to use a completely discreet circuit which is there to emulate tape saturation. We get harmonic distortion as well as that lovely subtle compression that we associate with tape saturation. This is at the heart of the sound signature of this unit. So one of the more subtle ways I use this during my song was with acoustic guitar. In this case, I engage the high pass filter that really helped to get rid of some of the sort of low rumble that we often get when we're recording acoustic guitar. And I switched on the saturation switch for two reasons primarily. First of all, I like the natural compression that we get with this, especially for something like acoustic guitar where I want it to be relatively transparent. And also I found that it really highlighted some of the high frequencies. Now you may or may not want that, but in this case, I wanted to hear that plectrum sound on the guitar. Have a listen to this AB demo and see what you think. So my needs for the bass guitar were quite different. It comes in a little later in the song and I wanted it to have just a little bit of aggression. So as well as switching on the saturation switch, I also switched on the tone control. Now, when you hear the demo, you're going to hear that the bass just breaks up a little bit here and there. And that's what I was going for. So for the vocals, I had the great pleasure of using the Warm Audio CX-12 microphone. So there was already some juicy tube warmth before getting to this unit. However, I did want to add some extra grit a bit later on, especially in the chorus. So I engaged the saturation switch and again, I switched on that tone control. Now, what you're actually about to hear is an earlier passage of the song where I'm singing a little bit more softly. But you can still hear a bit of a difference again, especially in the high end. Later on, you'll get to hear more passages of the song and you can hear it really sort of break up with the louder vocal. Now, listening in isolation is one thing, but I have to tell you, when I dialed in the settings, I was listening in the context of the rest of the mix, which I think is super important. So we're going to have a listen to a short version of the song now. And you're going to notice at the bottom of the screen that I've got three sections noted. A soft section, a kind of a mid-strength section and a louder section at the end. And I want you to listen out for the changes in sound with these different instruments that we've talked about here as it goes from one section to another. Enjoy. So the full-length version of this song is now at the stage where it needs to be properly mixed and mastered. And then I'll be releasing it through our sponsor DistroKid. They make it super easy. You just upload your music, your artwork, fill in a simple form, and they get it out to all of the major platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, TikTok, etc. Just follow the link in the description down below. Talking about links in the description, Australian viewers, don't forget to take advantage of that exclusive discount I've got for you from Manny's. That's going to be valid for two months from the release date of this video. That's going to get you 10% off of one of these babies. Now, I have some really nice mic preamps in my studio and they're very, very clean. But this brings something quite different to the party, brings some real character. And I especially like it when you push it kind of to its limits a little bit. Let me know what you think about it in the comments down below. I'd love to hear from you on that. Now, I mentioned earlier that if you engage the saturation control, you get a little bit of really natural compression. If you want to explore compression a little bit further, I'd recommend you take a look at this video here where I talk about the WA2A version of the famous LA2A.

Mr. Ahmad Hamal, what a pleasure to meet you here in Tunis, in your own town, Ahmad Hamal. You will be one of the speakers at the next conference, waiting for the barbarians. We will address two questions at the conference. The first is, how come there are still barbarians? The second is, how civilized is Western society? Now, to introduce you to the audience, could you please tell us a little bit more about yourself? What are you with your background? What are you doing? My academic background is philosophy. I did philosophy following which in the University of Sweden? And then I did the master's degree in Islamic studies at SOAS. In philosophy, I've studied Bittgenstein, and also I did a short study of Berkeley. And also, I worked on Mutimia, who is one of the main authorities in what is described by Maud Salafi, who also graduated from Islam. After that, I did my master's degree at SOAS, and the issue I worked on is Qital, that is fighting or war in Quran. And the main reason for me to work or to shift from philosophy to Islamic studies is that I was thinking, I said, when I would be able to come back to Tunisia, because I was not able to come before the revolution. You were in exile, right? Yeah, I was in exile. I said that our problem will not be conflict with what we might call the secularist. It will be rather with those youngsters who will adhere to Islam. So I need to have tools which will enable me to involve in discussion. So can you tell us more about these tools you found to prevent Maud Salafi? For example, also kids in the UK, in the Netherlands, in Belgium, and you know that people are astonished that they will go to fight for Islamic State. What's wrong with Western society that people will go there and how can we prevent them? Western civilization, part of it, part of it, is part of this radical way of seeing the truth, that is the two values truth, the Aristotelian values, that is until you are either true or wrong. There is no third value for the truth. This is also one of the issues. Another issue is that even in the West, there is a crisis of values, because the West is now shifting away from the values of the 17th and 18th centuries, the humanities, and that the human is the sake of the private sphere of office, the crisis, the economic crisis, the war which is being waged right now. It is bringing a reality which does not validate values, whether political values or ethical values of the West. And this also pushes people away from coherently living in the West. So we do have a universal problem which is not only in our country and not only in Europe, not only in the US. It is, I think, a universal value which all of us need to work together so that we are in consistency with our values. Our everyday life is not contradicted with the values of politics, the values of the market, the values of the conflict, how we manage conflict. We are in Tunisia now, where the Arab Spring started. People were very hopeful. They thought we will have democracy now, tolerance, equal rights etc. So what has happened to the Arab Spring? We are still struggling, but I think we are building new, if you could say, new values. And we are new because we are different from what the oppressive regime used. What is different is that it does not tolerate opposition. It does not tolerate difference, if you could say. And now we can see that those who would have been enemies before are working together, and they are even partners in the same government, within the same government. I think in Tunisia we do still have hope for the success of what we might call a peaceful revolution. And this, if we are successful in it, we will do a breakthrough, because one of the definitions of a revolution is that it is a legitimate way of using violence. The main values of the Tunisian revolution is that it is a peaceful revolution. So we need success too. If we can use the term badly, we need a success story, which has different values. Those values of democracy, freedom, freedom, and people who can live together, why they are different. And as you can see, we are in a very beautiful country. You have the sea here, you came as tourists here. I personally am very happy to have you here. And I would like really to have the image of our country in this beautiful country. So thank you, Ahmed. We are looking forward to seeing you in the Netherlands on the 14th of November for the next conference. Thank you.


k to tcp 4 4 3 which is slower So it's just It's one of those headache things Just don't filter on the firewall do it on the endpoint make your life better And I say the same thing as much as the dns black holes and pf blocker are great They solve, you know, when you're on a phone and that You block origin and a browser is still way better Yes, for sure to manage easier to for an end user can turn it off if there is a problem Easier to test stuff like that. Yep. All right. I'll let you guys I'm gonna run upstairs real quick to get a drink and uh, I'll be right back Keep an eye on your questions or do whatever Tom's going away. Tom's gone. Let's talk about video games. Yeah video games. Yeah I don't know. Does anyone even play video games here? You throw it out. Everybody does I had a class in college actually just like that. Um, we had to do a presentation and The group for picked at random I got a bunch of my friends who were in the class and we all played games together So we did one on the history of gaming Trust me. You go back to like the Atari 2600 and you should have seen all the faces light up like, oh, yeah I remember having that Yes I actually host Um, whenever we all play games together, I usually host them And yeah, we have uh valhine minecraft arc Conan A while It's been a while since conan Is paolo altos still a thing? Yes, so they actually had a um A very limited time A consumer offering that was a licensed yearly option And the one customer I know that had it They Got a notice. I think in december saying we are shutting down this service and uh, feel free to recycle your device sort of deal Yeah They basically said thank you for being on this platform. It is being discontinued. I think it only lasted a year or two It was really bizarre Never thought about it, but my own modic controller can disable websites for even certain ap's now That's actually kind of interesting. I don't know how that's done at the ap level though I guess it's probably some functionality in it I'd have to look because technically those functions exist in the unify controller, but they're not applicable until you have a usg Or some kind of unify firewall um filtering for home use And depends how technically you aren't if you want phones filtered pf blocker slash piehole are kind of the same thing um Yep, they're they're not bad They're going to solve your you know end users who are on phones in that But I still prefer ublock origin in the browser because it It's able to do more because there's certain things you cannot dns block in pf blocker or piehole because you're going to break other things Versus ublock origin is again at the end point at the browser level and saying Yeah, you don't need that separate ad window with baked in even though it's coming from the same source But you clearly don't need that um Learn linux tv has good resources. I seen someone asked about linux training go head over to the learn linux tv I think they do have some decent network training on there, too I know a lot of people have asked us about you know level one networking stuff Like where do you learn that and they're like well college, but you know, where can you go online to get something like that? See, I like there too I like right now. My senior project was detecting cheating and quake when I played quake. I was um for our league I me and my friend jake were a couple of people who would have to watch like the replays and just You know, we would be always be spectators in the matches like Hold on and You know some of it was obvious some of it was I think the most obvious one was like that guy was trashed last week How was he suddenly and we were watching him also snap on the teammates were like, okay, buddy, you got to go Yeah um let's see Hey, the Harrison. Oh might want to add some grease those rollers You talk oh for the door when you heard it wheel open really it was not that loud. It's a heavy door It is a heavy door Yeah, they're mistaking it is pretty brand new like that is as good as it's gonna get And it's it's got like roller bearings and stuff. Yeah. No, it's uh, yeah, that's not our roller issue That is that is the weight of the door That is a very heavy door. It is yes that door that door's got some girth I just wanted to use that word. Yeah Um, you know, I this is Definitely like I like pf blocker and everything. Um, but I love you block origin better like hands down I like it because sometimes I I need to unblock something and if you have blockers blocking it's one of the reasons I don't even use it at home I get annoyed Um in my wife's games sometimes won't load if I turn it on like some of her clicker games She plays because her ad supported if you block the ads the game won't load Like on her phone. Yeah, didn't you have that problem too Steve or something? Uh, no I remember who else had that problem. It was yeah, I never used pf blocker I'm not a phone person though. So I just never cared. Oh, the other blocker is good for more than just dns blocking Yeah, I mean it is great for gyp filtering and just you blocking and generally everybody though when you say pf blocker They're thinking about no, I know But I like to remind them like it is much more useful for these other things, especially when you have port forwards open Come on guys. I don't have any users in russia that need to access my web server Yeah Hey, I don't it's I don't mind having more people on it's just a matter of these guys having the time, but uh, saturdays You know, um, thursdays these guys are usually busy, uh, but maybe we'll do a couple try to hop and chat on thursdays, but Yeah Yeah, I don't mind if everyone likes it I definitely don't mind bringing the team in because it's fun because I got more people to answer questions Especially when I gotta get up and go pee so And people ask gaming questions. I I'm a terrible gamer. I play solo games and uh, I'm just not I don't know these guys play games Yeah That's that's uh, I do like quarterlands. Yeah, and I thought the witcher was awesome You got me and eric if you want hardware. I'm here if you want, you know You want to talk general construction? Sure. Why not? Yeah, it's construction too. See if I build the studio. I'm sitting in So this is an old question from like half hour ago, but hey, he's not watching at 2x Yeah, or he is and he's he just started Yeah, the the the stores the way it stores the data versus being able to just grab a vhd file and move it It is way more complex Yeah Yeah, I'm still trying to run through We have like no somebody brought up learn linux tv. Oh, it was tom this time. Yeah those of it back Dude, i'm still getting caught up on comments like I I don't know i'm notorious for I want to read them all I will find my camera eventually. It is somewhere behind my computer. Just having cared to look Hey, Harrison wards here. Hi Yeah, I've mentioned that earlier That is how far back I am do not I need to get it set up now because I noticed um Travis is commenting. Is he just commenting on the on the youtube side of this? Yeah, okay, because I could I also have it at live chat so I can catch anything that comes through because the all chat's weird I think travis isn't like actually I mean if Yeah, because he could do um Travis could join I can let him join. He doesn't have to use a camera to join But I don't think he wants to talk so We can we can keep getting the team bigger on here If I'm surprised brett brett usually comments on morning live streams because he's Travis has a very interesting experience that uh, I think he did have some x apple experience as well Yes, um, which is something that not not any of us in the office have so Travis is the apple expert Um, do you guys work at a nine to five or a project? Uh, all of the above it varies. So The office guys are nine to five Um, eric and I are there's booking so we're doing it and we have a lot of them that end up like They book for like five to six and then six become seven. I've had clients who I started at six in the afternoon and was still in the office at three in the morning Yeah, there's it really it really depends. Um, yeah Sometimes you just it's working in it means working till the project's done Especially when you have 24 seven clients and emergency projects or we're doing things on the weekends and moving companies over the weekend those those projects are very Um, and of course the craziest project always comes back to the the um It's my it's labeled as my worst cabling job ever But that's also a project that all of us had to work on and stay till like two in the morning Uh, god, yeah You mean like five Checking on me. I had to punch down. What was it like 200 and some cat 6a lines So I just sat in a room for eight hours one day just click click click click Punching them down and bret would come in every two three hours. How you doing here, buddy? Uh You want anything to eat? Uh I just I didn't even want to talk and I was just so focused on I gotta get this done I gotta get this done You know, it's funny people say a day in a life of time, but that's mostly um me Reading if there's one thing I do more than anything else is going to be read Um, but I'll I guess I can put together what I do I'd summarize a day in a week of time that would be a better video is a day in a week to Summarize in a few minutes what I do all week Or occasional bike ride a road trip. Oh, yeah bike ride a road trip. It's not negative four degrees Celsius I still might go for a walk today, but yes Subs out. I think yeah, if you're gonna do it. It's now's the time Yeah, oh Getting better than this. Well going for walks is how I catch up on all my podcasts people ask like Or we're you know, I have lists where I get all my information from in podcasts being one of them um, but also like that's how you um Like push a lot of information your head at once is usually where the podcast and going for walks Is my favorite way to put podcasts in my head. Uh, I also might do a video on this as a topic the I I also I've been moving to it and I finally got more dedicated to it. I use a RSS reader to aggregate all my different information in a one place And that way I can always tell what I've read what I haven't read um And I have these are like all the articles that mostly read but then occasionally I'll favorite some of them or Uh for a little while until I think I've read them more thoroughly But this is how we keep up with all the news is keeping up with what I've done and haven't done by using RSS feeds for everything matter of fact, I'm starting to move toward because youtube's Algorithm is kind of broken for letting me know about new videos You can use RSS feeds to actually um Subscribe to all the channels that you like and then all the videos show up a nice list You don't have to deal with youtube and them suggesting what might show up in your subscription On that note, can you talk about burnout on it? Is it a wall over a year ago ended up taking three months off after a mental snap? It happens. I don't know I'm trying to let not let myself get to that point if if I can I will take breaks and just kind of You know Work on something else for a while if I can't but not everybody has that that luxury. So yeah I mean like me and Eric we went to a hacking thing for a few days. Uh, that was fun We didn't really do any work there I'm at the breakdown phase a little bit. I was like, uh, can I just you know build something? I gotta go work on my fireplace.  So you can't I'm not like, you know relaxing I'm like doing something intense that way it takes my mind off any type of work or anything like that It's it's figuring it out like Steve builds things, you know, you each person has their own thing with that's figuring out that if it's something you need But because I don't know it's it's a definitely a challenge in the business where you may get burned out I don't know if there's any easy answer for it I don't think we've ever played with any optane drives, right? I have Okay, the question Are there use case for the cheaper optane drives for home lab? No okay, um optane Optane stupid It was So, uh, tom you remember back when they started making those hybrid, uh, sshd's Yeah Optane is the same core concept, but intel exclusive you have an intel chipset And you would have a small nvme that was super fast And then it would try to cash your regularly used data on the optane drive But it would build a raid between them Problem is is if either one dies you still lose your data. So if your optane drive burned out Cool, um, there were large chunks of data on there that were part of the Other drive and you're missing it now um and am trying to try to do the same thing with Stormy and it it didn't take off and they ended up canceling it Really in this day and age you're just better off buying just actual nvme storage drives I still have stormy running my uh my game storage on my computer I need to move off of that. It is so broken. It is I fell through the world I'll fancy 14 and I was upset and I'm like, okay, this has to go Yeah, um, it doesn't it doesn't work performance wise though. I'll say it's it's still functioning. I'll say yeah. Yeah Yeah, uh, someone asked about the rss feed one of the things I'll I'll show real quick with it Um, when you're using rss feed to read the news, you're not excluding going to reddit, for example Um, someone put something in here I decided if I wanted to link or I can jump right to the comment section of reddit if I want to So then I can jump to this right here. This mobile 15 tiller type is an entirely make So looks beautiful by the way Yeah, I I have a bunch of different things and like to me I like some of the old hardware that shows up in some of this so old hardware is so fun Oh, yeah, that's one of my um things I have in reddit is all the classic hardware I do look through a lot of that That old telecoms equipment is oh, yeah Such a fun deep dive to get into AT&T has like all sorts of videos posted from their archives. Yep The AT&T archives for that the um, what is that one subreddit for classic hardware? Let me find it real quick because it's great find it. Let me know because I haven't really dealt reddit in a while Yeah, here. I'll I'll share this one. This is a um Up on the screen now Vintage computing is awesome This is reddit our vintage computing and we throw it in the link here for that but man is it just I like all this old stuff in here. I don't What I do miss the sound of old hard drives though I don't know. I don't think the mic is picking it up, but I have the two hdsc drives in my uh Uh nvr up there and I can just hear them banging away from time to time and it's kind of I forgot like oh, yeah hard drives were really loud Yeah, all the classic computers. I think it's funny that this is classic now Yeah I don't know why haven't you built this? Oh my god Because I don't want to That's wild That is which one did you already go up to one more? I think Yeah, then down one then we have uh, yeah, we had people who running servers on all those old compacts. Yep Isle of them Yeah, there's the classic hardware. It's just kind of fun to go through. I always resort it by the the the The cup holder slash uh cigarette lighter I thought that was looking I want to say I think lgr did a review of one of those on his channel. I'm the one that's hilarious Yes, I follow lgr. I think eight big guys hilarious. It's a few channels that do that. It's it's great Those are some of the channels I subscribe to on youtube is those That's a big fcd pioneer in early days of those Side eight side a oh my god I had these Six point oh I still have these I got boxes and boxes of those All the people that are still using all this stuff I think there's a classic gaming ones that that might be more for you What there's classic gaming subreddits, too Yeah, I That's why a lot of people put these together is for those old games Because yeah, I didn't play a lot of DOS games because I didn't get in. I'm not quite that old I'm the older one here. So well and and we didn't get a computer until Hey, we had one of those ab switches. We did we have the ethernet one. It's actually Yep um No, I didn't get into Like PCs and playing a game on a pc until I was like Nine or ten because we had the the nintendo So I had the nintendo at the age of one And was over here playing so it's always like really fun I would go to my friend's house and he'd be like, hey do you want I bought the he bought the Original mario for the week and this was years ago And so he would be player one because it's his house He'd play through the first couple worlds die and then he would just get up and go make Dinner because he knew I would be on like world six or seven by the time I'm by the time it's his turning it I'm like, dude. I've been doing this since I was two.  So you got our fans of people here. Yeah It's I'm looking because it's a different group of people Um than there Any Porsche machines? Oh Cart no, I don't do Porsche I was I was like what LT. Oh lord systems.  I got a Kia Yeah, I got a jeep Jeep yeah, like we got pointy to point like my tesla. I thought it was kind of cool I wanted one the novelty of it's still there to an extent. I like it, but yeah I like practical to be honest. I am definitely a car guy for sure, but I like practical It's kind of a pointy to pointy machine I only have the jeep because my ma gave it to me because I wouldn't My car broke and I wouldn't let her buy She literally wanted to buy the same thing but like two miles years newer.  So with a minute, uh, mind broke. She's like already picked mine out. You can take this thing I'm like, whatever And Travis likes trucks because they're practical Yes, I I have a truck too because it's practical Did you hear about cds coming back? No, they're not Yeah, they're not Well, no to me.  Um, he's then he spent more money on it and whatever I mean, don't give me wrong the helcats are pretty cool But Yeah, I don't know I like practical Yep, I was looking I thought I had a picture of his helcat. Oh, well We I know I went really really fast in it Oh It's funny because I have here. Can you This is someone's gonna laugh when they see this uh, share this tab Can you tell one of my tech friends might own this? Fiber Cyber Oh Fun says he's got another one on order. That's like a different color I've actually I've never understood people who Have the money to buy more cars, but decide I'm gonna buy that same car again Yeah, while the other car is still working. Why? Again, that's why I was like I want to get two model years or why It's the same car. Yeah For this car line from japan, let's go Hellcat sip the fuel as you look but also More interesting more interesting tesla. I don't know Electric vehicles like tesla torque compared to gas vehicle. Hellcats are heavy. So surprise. Yeah You get it's electric. It's gonna be faster. You got all that instant torque. We're coming up on a three hour mark So let us know the last few questions will end this in 10 more minutes I see where there's once we start wandering off topic I know the the subscriber the viewership starts going down to plus three hours is quite a while Uh, we watched race last night between The lucid and the hellcat no comparison. Yeah Hellcats lack grip you could get different tires for that get some sticky tires, man. Yeah, man Guide i'm using vps for vpn and public ip for my home network or uh, that is behind cgnat um I guess what you're trying to do I I recommend cloudflare tunnels It's like the easiest Solution for that problem if you want to host some application and you want an easy way to do it I have a video on cloudflare tunnels hands down dust posts of that too Yeah, it's a great tutorial. It adds it even adds ddos protection all kinds of fun stuff because anything Outside of that and me and j covered this in the homelab show um I have a whole list in my if you watched the homelab show that we just did There's a whole list of services and all of them are going to be multi-step more complicated the Set up from start to finish is like 10 minutes, you know provided you have your domain in cloudflare Uh to get a cloudflare tunnel going cloud for tunnels is hands down dead simple to use The only other way i've done it is using wire garden ip tables and I don't recommend it It works, uh, but there's also some features of wire garden ps that just don't work yet um But for the most part it works great.  Also, I don't have a picture too. I was just guessing if it worked and it did so single board any single board computers lately not really Uh, jeff garling talked about this. I think jeff garling did a video on the maybe it was the banana pie Raspberry pi fours are out of stock. So I I think what he told me is we did a video and The challenge you run into if you don't use a raspberry pi is the documentation And the support is going to be not as good and he says turns out if you do a video on it You will get your email box full of people Messaging you asking for support on the product to try to figure something out on it. So that's kind of the challenge I guess that's why people are looking at but once you start wandering around To a bunch of different stuff. I don't know. I don't have a ton of single board computer projects. They're kind of cool But outside of my um, home lab stuff. They're I'm sorry home assistant There's not many other single board projects that got going on that. I want one for that's all I'm doing with it. Um They're using a raspberry pi steve. Yeah. Yeah, I'm running a pi three Oh, yeah, I'm laying around. It was my old one that uh Uh Ran transmission and then I I repurposed it Yeah, uh net maker cli. I haven't used net maker people seem to like it but I I haven't really dove into it It's kind of a neat looking project. I don't know if you guys have seen net maker No, I haven't even heard of it to be honest. I'm out of the game. Um So what net maker does and it's open source It's a way to give you you you set up your net maker They have a really cool website by the way. Is that to set up a topology like a physical topology?  Okay. Now what I was thinking, okay Yeah, so it's it's just a way to to make it easier to build networks. Um, specifically wire guard networks. No, no Wire guard networks Like if you want to tie together a bunch of servers and you don't want to manage all the wire guard keys Net maker can build that out for you and do a whole network build. It's it's just like product Is that a tail scale? Well, yeah, it's all Hostable yourself as why so you're not relying on tail scale tail scale is going to be easier because they do it Um, but this way you set up your net maker You build out how you want these things to do you do it all through like the web interface And you can deploy and it builds all the config scripts for all the different wire guard clients I mean actually sounds kind of nice. It's a nice product and for some companies. They don't want to rely on tail scale Also, like someone just mentioned here and I've done a video on this Uh head scale to integrate into a GUI.  Um, so we'll not be left by the way There's that's another new one Jeff said that you're better off getting a used, uh For me be rather than a random non raspberry pi. Yeah, I didn't watch this video Like I actually had a conversation with chef the other day and I need to catch up on watching some of his videos Uh, is that of course their driver to usb reliable Uh, no the ssds are more reliable the right limits on usb is usually never as high as they are on a uh ssd Uh No, no no No, you think so you think they make the usb ones are just as good So if it's a sata ssd and you're using usb standard usb 3 Um, it's it's close because the max for a sata 3 is 6 gig and standard usb 3 is 5 gig Uh usb 3.1 is 10 gig. So you start exceeding sata ssd And that's where you start having to get into nvme at which point now then yes, uh, sata is much slower than the nvme bandwidth Wait, was it a speed question or a wear leveling question? I thought he was asking about wear leveling Oh, I don't know. Yeah speed you right wear leveling I would trust an ssd over usb for like which one's gonna wear out first for too many rights Oh, yeah, the nvmes and the ssds usually have a better chip for that usb flash drives are just designed to be cheap You lose them throw them away. You're not constantly riding to a flash drive. Correct Net Baker has better performance than tail scale just on a warrior guard. I I don't know if that's actually provably true and they're because it's a complicated thing to answer unless you do absolute direct comparisons and There are no, I'm not mistaken one challenge tail scale will have is it's gonna if I'm not mistaken They rode it all and go and it's not going to be kernel driving So there's your first challenge. So that would make it correct But I don't know if net makers right solution because I don't know how well net maker does natural reversal And tail scale solves that magically they have a great write-up. So it's not like magic It's just very complicated and they documented really well how they do it Um, it feels like magic the UDP hole punching feels like magic They they definitely re-engineered an existing protocol to do it and it's kind of neat Yeah, the way they do UDP hole punching is really impressive Uh When you think all the ad stuff you need in a pie case pa va va is something like about the same price um You know that that really varies.  Um I like raspberry pies because there's never a hardware question Like when you flash a raspberry pie image in with home assistant, it's guaranteed It's a raspberry pie with home assistant There's not like I wonder if this network adapter I chose is supported or I wonder if it's a video card Um, so some of that is kind of nice Um when it comes to using this is what makes raspberry pie And the problem when you vary off of this is this that's a question you're asking like hey, I want this thing to work Oh, wait, it's not supported because this image was designed for raspberry pie And I gotta add in this extra feature for something else. What's the power draw of a pie for? Oh that's Like five to seven watts I don't feel like unplugging mine to see what the uh the adapter limit is But I want to say it's probably like what 5v 1a Uh, it says idle 3.8 to 4 Okay, maybe up to 5.5 watts, which okay, so it's a five volt. Um, it's probably like a five volt one and a half amp adapter. So Let's say because I know there's some gigabit brick servers and some of those small uh Quotown boxes that are in the seven and a half to 15 watt market so Idle is 3.8 watts and five watts with two cores and 5.5 watts with uh three cores and six watts With all four cores. So yeah, it's really low With a zen three zen cluster you to learn about ha. Yes learning ha is fun Well, this is the max potential, but we wanted to talk about what it's max potential from the output of the adapter We hope we're not maxing out the adapter But it also gives us a good baseline because if we look you can look at what powers like some of those Many PCs and say, okay. Well, this only has a 45 watt adapter. Therefore it cannot exceed And yeah, you know, it's never gonna exceed 10 watts that so Oh, this person I have one of those Corsair usb's like the tough ones. I don't know. I just I just keep an extra copy of my ssh keys and a few critical things on it So I don't know why am I not using because I don't have a samsung t7 ssd. That's why I have that we wanted something he could bury in his backyard when he's paranoid Yes, yes, and it survives water and everything else. Yeah Oh, I heard three cx is making a bunch of changes um I don't know if chris from cross talk did a video and it's not in I think he didn't want to do a video because it would Uh, I don't mean chris. We ever talked about it. It was kind of a complicated topic of Three cx is making a bunch of changes that are aggravating. They're the users of it Not just the raspberry pi one, but a whole lot of stuff too. So Uh software defying radios. I don't play much with those I I've played with the um, let's say when everyone likes the flipper zero or was something like that It's not I think there were some people that had it at the hacking convention right that one girl had one Yeah, yep I'd love to have a use case for something like that. It's just once you get one. It's just like cool What do I do with this now? You can open the door to my tesla charger without saying open butthole I prefer to say open butthole because that's that's that's a way more fun way to open it I'll copy my hotel card on that. Oh, that's right. You did you cloned your you cloned your hotel card It didn't completely work. I'm sure there was more more involved with it But uh, we got we got a halfway there Yeah Right and stuff Yeah You want one that's tanky tanky is a good word Like tanky Yeah tanky you want one is tanky because I don't really care about performance. There's there's literally I'm not even using all the data on there. I've just got a handful of critical things on it and that's it, but All right, we've gone for three hours. Thank you everyone for joining. This was a lot of fun Um, I'll see if the guys want to do this again sometime Sure go mine. Yeah, it's cold outside. It's winter. We're not every Saturday that we do this What's that? Is this every Saturday thing? I don't do it every Saturday. I I just kind of do it I'll let you guys know next time. I'm doing it though because sometimes like today. I see I looked at the weather And I'm like it's cold. I ain't doing nothing outside Perfect. It's cold or not. I don't want to do anything this early Well, that's usually she's actually in the summer. Yeah. No, I get up when my uncle's up from florida We usually do the all the yard work before it gets too hot and then we run inside by like one like we're done Yeah Absolutely, but um, no, maybe we'll have you guys join we will we can probably do even a night nighttime one because I know You guys are both nighttime people. So maybe we'll do we'll do one like a now ask a ask an after dark Or just was after dark ask an engineer and other dumb things that'll happen Oh We'll bring we will bring in guests. I like Ray doll. He's a nice guy so we can bring him into some time He's a friend of mine.  I have two network engineers and I didn't have a big pile of network questions from he's usually my person That's asked all the most complicated networking questions. Love it Uh, all right, man. Have fun. Uh, it's time to go do some stuff and catch up on podcasts and all that So later. Yep. Bye. Take it easy guys. Yeah

Do you want it? And I'm like hell yes sending a quick PayPal transaction and two days later This is in my hands now the main figure I wanted out of this whole set was Nemesis Primal here, but this is a pretty good deal for $84.99 which is retail price You get the $30 Primal $20 Frangry $20 Bumblebee and $20 Black Arachnia So it's not a bad deal for these figures granted Do we really need another mold of? Cliffjumper there who's now bumblebee so real quick Let's take a look at the packaging you've got Buzzworthy bumblebee worlds collide all the figures are here in robot mode And what's cool about this packaging or a little bit different is the front has plastic But the top and this honeycomb design has holes in it. So you kind of stick your fingers right through there now there is something Radling around in here, but if you look through the top, there's a sealed section right here So I'm assuming that's yeah, that sounds like instructions. Maybe a couple of the Accessories, but we'll find out when we open the packaging side of the box. You've got Yellow Autobot logo. There's bumblebee on this side and back of the packaging You've got all the figures in robot modes and Vehicle modes now what I'm going to do for this review is I'm going to break this down into four different reviews One per figure because this is a big set. I really don't want to make a really long video So I'm going to break it down that way you guys can watch the review on whichever figure you choose And for this review, we're going to take a look at fangreed. So without further ado Let's go ahead and get this package cracked open and check it out and welcome to Patriot Prime reviews Now once you get fangreed all opened up and now the packaging you'll see he does come with an instruction sheet and As I said in my nemesis primal review this instruction sheet covers all four figures So it is one giant sheet of instructions and then of course you get Fangreed himself and that's it. He didn't come with any accessories whatsoever. Now first things first this guy is loose as Shit that it is absolutely Ridiculous how loose this figure is now all of the looseness is from the waist down Of course, there's some jokes right there But yeah, the knees are loose the thighs loose this little section right here that holds the feet in It's pathetic So I'm letting you know about that now because I guarantee this figure is going to fall over During my review the upper body not too bad. The arms are tight biceps are tight I mean everything's good now another loose thing is this right here on the back of the figure the Wolf monster head This is really loose. It's like this arm that's pinned in was not made big enough I mean that just flops around too. So yeah, right off the bat. I've got a major complaint with this figure So stand up there dammit I knew it and I'm not even going to edit this out. I just want to show how floppy this guy is Let's bend him down a little bit. Now when I first saw Fangreed advertised I thought to myself that looks like the Titans return Grotesque mold and here's Titan returns grotesque right here And I'm right. There's a lot of parts that are shared with grotesque taking a look here. The entire upper body is The same except for the center chest section. That's completely different down here. The crotch pieces are different The thigh sections are different. Let's see lower legs. They're the same the forearms are the same and The shoulders are different So there's a lot of pieces borrowed from grotesque here and now if you want to see a funny video I'm going to link my review of grotesque right up there in the corner That was my third review So if you want to see me when I didn't know what the heck I was doing there you go So we've established the body that Fangreed here is designed from and his looseness Let's go ahead and take a look at the figure. I mean the figure itself doesn't look too bad. I mean, it's very G1 accurate. I love the head sculpt also very G1 accurate It's got these speed strength and intelligent decal or not decal. That's actually a paint application Right there once again very reminiscent to G1 purple Decepticon logo right there A little bit of blue paint down on the knees So the figure looks really good and I like the fact he has wings now in G1 His wings were only used in beast mode and in robot mode. They became a shield So now let's bring in stand up The original G1 Fangreed to compare so almost the same size So as you can see here very very faithful Amaj to this generation one toy now I've got a few extra decals on my G1 because he was very plain looking even with his Official decals. I just put some toy hacks scraps on him. I think he looks really good He's got a lot of nice throwbacks. You can see that little circle Right there. That's also here on the buzzworthy Fangre. Got the speed strength and intelligent Decals right there that match up. I also like the fact if you look on Fangre shoulders here He has those spikes that the buzzworthy Fangre has as well So lots of nice throwbacks to the original generation one one thing I do like that they changed up aside from the wings is Buzzworthy Fangre has the beast head on his back Where the G1 the beast head is hanging off his butt like a dingleberry So, yeah, there's that but I do wish that he came with a weapon So this buzzworthy Fangre has no weapon whatsoever now this Fangre is also a Titan master or headmaster so you can remove His head right here. And if I remember correctly Fangre's headmaster was named briscoe So there he is looks really good and will bring in Titans return Fangre who is this little mini figure right here that turned into a version of Small version of Fangre or he just flipped the head around he turned into a dragon, but he also had The Titan master heads. Let's go ahead and get this pulled out and we'll compare The heads go ahead and get this one transformed. So here is buzzworthy's head and the Titan return version and it looks to be Exactly the same. So no difference whatsoever as far as the head's concerned But when you turn him into robot mode The buzzworthy Fangre has purple arms and a black body where Titans return has black arms and the entire body and legs are pink And I do like the fact that buzzworthy here has a painted face So kudos to buzzworthy for the headmaster that works So let's go ahead and get the head put back on real quick because I do want to go over Articulation for this figure the wings can flap they can move back and forth the head Of course, it's on a ball joint. Thanks to the Titan master. It can do a complete 360 The arms can go up and down Do a complete 360 as well if you move the wing out of the way There is a bicep bend and bicep rotation Nothing on the wrist Down here.  So there we go Next thing we're going to do is take the wolf head now be careful It will pop off that so easy and I'm going to bring in grotesque again Grotesque has that same connector point let's see right there same connector point as Fangre I think they just didn't thicken up the tab They're on the wolf head. So what you're going to do is bring this down and around And right there on the wolf neck. You got those two tabs. They're going to tab in Right there on top of the speed strength and intelligent Section so there you go.  So now he has monster hands and about the only difference between the monster hand and robot hand is these are open slightly And there's some texture. So now that's pretty much it for the upper body Let's go ahead and do the lower body here. You're going to got these little tail pieces Get these out of the way.  So there we go.  You're going to fold in and try to get these You got these little tabs get the wings out of the way little tabs right there. You want to try to get these Tabbed in right there underneath that to kind of hold it in place It's really not going to hold very good Go ahead and swing the beast legs around And there we have fangry in monster mode and Monster mode looks all right. It looks weird, but it's very G1 just like the rest of the figure now. Unfortunately these sections right here these hip sections Super loose just as bad as they were in robot mode.  I do Like the looks of this guy this fangry is a lot more vicious looking than the original g1 I mean in marvel comics fangry was bad ass, but the toy The toy sucked And there you have the original g1 fangry He just looks so damn goofy his wings his wing shield Just kind of plug in over the back of his head. So he actually looks like he has big ears But man, what a weird looking figures So the buzzworthy version definitely outshines the original g1 so I mean, I like the texture on this one. He's got great texture All over good paint applications. And if you want to see my review on this guy I'm going to put that in the link right there above So bringing back in the buzzworthy fangry. Let's look at some of his articulation The arm articulation is exactly the same as robot mode. All you did was flip the forearms around So no biggie there. I guess the fist can kind of move up and down But that's due to transformation the robot or excuse me the beast jaw can open and close So I do like that But it cannot turn so Open and close. That's all you got Once again, no waist articulation whatsoever The beast legs, they can move up and down. Actually, they could do a complete 360 if they could And the forelegs can actually bend at the knee And at the toes and I do like All the molded detail there as well. He's got lots of nice fur And he's falling apart. Like I said, you got to really squeeze this guy together To get him to work and just handle him. You see what I've done And he's already falling to pieces hadn't that Sucks it's so cool that we get a new more modern fangry opposed to the Titan's return when we got a few years back But I wish they could have spent some more time with him and fix these qc issues, especially You know, I just reviewed nemesis primal and that guy was awesome And then you get fangry, which is another figure I was really looking forward to getting with this set And he's just He's a floppy mess. He looks good But damn And now for a quick size comparison here is transformers buzzworthy bumblebee world's collide fangry With generation one megatron Generation one fangry And fellow wolf decepticon titan's return wolf wire or weird wolf The transformers buzzworthy bumblebee world's collide fangry is one mixed bag of a figure in my opinion For one, I absolutely love the g1 amages that this figure has He's got the right collar scheme the right paint applications The right look this is a great fangry This is a great looking fangry I even don't mind the fact that they use the monster bot Skeleton more or less because I thought the monster bots from titan's return were really cool I've got all three of them But I wish they could have done something about the looseness of this guy I mean he's got all the stability of cooked spaghetti and it sucks I mean it took me forever just to get him to hold this pose without falling over I also wish he came with weapons Fortunately, my good buddy fire talk sent me these visitor pistols because I was a big fan of the series v That works for fangry perfect Plus he has a green face So this figure right here. I'm split right down the middle on I've reviewed nemesis primal from the set. I thought he was great This guy I was looking forward to but the looseness just killed me. Hopefully my next review Black arachnia will bring the scale up just a bit Now guys, if you enjoyed the video, don't forget to like don't forget to subscribe And don't forget to click that bell icon to get notified when I upload new reviews Including that before mentioned video of world's collide black arachnia. Once again guys, this is patriot prime Signing out
