What's up guys and welcome to Trendy Updates, our SPM Buzz. Now onto the trending news today is celebrities who have reacted to musician Aquavest's separation hints. Now of course we all know that Aquavest took to her social media platform and put up a long post explaining how she has not been okay, now she says she had to go to therapy because she had known that there is emotional manipulation even in marriages. Now of course Aquavest has done that on social media and she has been trending and has said that she should be left to heal and be okay. Now of course celebrities have reacted to this situation and one of them is Dr. Alphoeneke who was the emcee for Aquavest's wedding and Mr. Omosh. Now Alphoeneke took to his social media platform posted a video of himself hosting the renowned wedding that happened a few months ago that is like five months ago and he put up a post and said, Now that is Dr. Alphoeneke reacting to Aquavest's separation and of course saying that he was Aquavest's friend of course an emcee during the day. Now Alphoeneke also emcee that the wedding and has come out to speak in light of the rumors that all might not be well in the musician's marriage. Now another celebrity that reacted to this wedding is the creative director and comedian Eddie Boutita. You all remember that day that they broke the internet attending Aquavest's wedding at the Windsor Hotel. Now Eddie Boutita captioned a post and said, I stand with my sister, she cannot go through this alone. We have to undo this wedding. Now Eddie Boutita has come out to speak in light of the rumors that all might not be well in the musician's marriage. Now Eddie Boutita has come out to speak in light of the rumors that all might not be well in the musician's marriage. Now Eddie Boutita has come out to speak in light of the rumors that all might not be well in the musician's marriage. Now we know that speculation saying that Tomosh was not from Sweden but they are saying that he was Pakistan and now of course Kibbe has made the jokes on light and not on that regard but also Kibbe said that he feels that the wedding was rushed and when you also look at the bridal team it was full of influencers. Kibbe says that it was in a hurry to be done and she felt that a decision Aquavest was probably proving points and now of course there is also someone else who had mentioned that he hoped that Aquavest had a prenup signed before she got married to a mosh and now I know people on the internet are actually probably hoping that Aquavest had a prenup in the case that she is talking about that separation. Now also one thing to note is that page that was attached to Mr.Omosh on Instagram has disappeared. Of course if you meet up with her do not ask questions she has healed and is moving on. If you want to know more about her let us know down in the comments section but in the meantime keep it trendy updates Kapa SPM birds.


Top icebreaker for new TEFL teachers, finish the sentence. Very easy and fun to play is the finish the sentence game. Here the teacher simply writes the beginning of a sentence on the board, and has the students finish the sentence in their own words on a sheet of paper. After a few minutes the teacher asks the students to read out their answers to the class. To make it a little more interesting, you can prepare a variety of sentence beginnings beforehand, and ask students one by one to complete the sentence without writing it down on paper.

So Today we will talk about a topic Which was actually originated from within the foundation networking community I will talk about a bit of history of this topic like empowering multivander in telecommunications with standardization so I will go back around like six seven years 2016 70 and That is when we start discussing these topics and now things are finally happening We'll actually talk about more technical details, but before we start maybe we can tell who we are Yeah, thanks Fatih my name is Andrea Frittoli I work as a developer advocate and software engineer for IBM and Represent the CDF here and there and the chair of the technical oversight committee and a member of the governing board as well Thanks, Andrea, and my name is fight their manager and I work at the links foundation leading the contents their foundation I joined the links foundation June 2020 is One and a half years, but before joining the links foundation. I worked at Ericsson for 16 years and I've been a contributor to the links foundation networking projects I started with opnfv open platform for network functions virtualization, which is now called Anuket, which was like after CNTD and all those things it was relaunched as Anuket and as I mentioned like What we will be talking about coming tournaments or so is something we talked a lot about within opnfv and newx foundation networking Because we realized the changes that is happening in telecommunications industry Actually is Especially from software delivery perspective or continuously perspective that is happening everywhere Not just within the networking industry or within the telecommunications and that actually helped us to you know get broader collaboration around this topic interoperability within continuous delivery So telecoms transformation and software delivery and this is like I'm sure you all have seen similar diagrams like this and this It's pretty similar to opnfv diagram back in the day like in opnfv We were working on creating an open stack telco stack using open source telco stack using like industry no Standard hardware and that's industries standard software and when we started in 2014 15 We were mainly working with open stack that was the platform on the line platform and on top of that We were bringing STN controllers such as open daylight and we were bringing orchestration such as on up and others and Trying to integrate those different technologies together and opnfv was kind of a different project because opnfv was dealing with integration We weren't actually developing those components ourselves, but but we were consuming those different technologies from upstream communities and As we continued doing that within opnfv, we realized that the integration aspects or continuous delivery aspects of that problem is actually Mind-boggling and we can't solve those problems alone and I see Luka and Gargely joining they were part of those conversations as well back in opnfv days And then that actually resulted us in reaching out to all these different communities open stack Open daylight on up cncf and so on And we said like we should perhaps Start working on these problems together because like if you look at open source projects and open networking ecosystem. There are lots of projects Some of them are pretty well established. Some of them are new with nephew and sylvia coming up to speed and this problem will continue to exist And we start working on this topic 2016-17 And that's why when I talk about you know the Software delivery I always go back to You know opnfv challenges we were facing that day Like again, if I go back in opnfv, we were trying to bring these indices standard Components were bought hardware and software And we were having a lot of challenges But if we don't You know Think about where this could go Things could look simple like we have one vendor for example or one community Whatever it is developed by that vendor is consumed by the end users or telecom operators in this case And that looks simple How hard it can be and that was kind of what we started our that was what our assumption was in 2015-16 But over time we realized all this desegregation and openness which will actually cause a lot of difficulties for software delivery Because the idea with openness and desegregation is to you know Disagrate get all the network functions starting with version network functions and clarinating network functions and that increases Vendor diversity so you can or operators can essentially pick and choose different network functions from different vendors So if there is only one vendor and if everything is physical network functions You can perhaps directly work with that vendor and establish these pipelines between vendors environment your environment But as you go through this transformation and embracing openness and desegregation Then you will start interfacing with Multiple vendors and if you look at two vendors You are getting some vnf and cnf from one vendor you are getting another set of vnf and cnf from another vendor Things are still not that complicated but if you Think about like coming years like and this is already happening When the number of vendors increase it really becomes very difficult to you know have these software delivery pipelines established from vendors to And user csp's and having feedback from and user csp's back to vendors becomes a problem Why that is because all these vendors they are probably using different processes to Deliver the software they are probably using different technologies to deliver their software Again, we can give some example open source projects like Jenkins, Pinnaker, Argo, Tecton CD ecosystem is flourishing as well and that gives Choice to users But that also brings additional challenges like there is no alignment. There is no harmonization. There is no standardization within the ecosystem And this results in a lot of challenges for end users especially Because vendors could deal with end users in this case There is one end user and multiple vendors and this might be simpler for you know vendors to tackle with but when it comes to end users They need to interface multiple vendors and how to Bring those pipelines in place is really challenging And this has been the question we have been trying to find an answer for the last six seven years and that actually started us again reaching out to other projects and other communities and Release engineering gave us some head start in this under opnfe And then we established an initiative called cross community ci within opnfe and you can see rp I think this is 2017 open source summit Europe in Prague Where he was talking about what we are doing in opnfe and then in 2018 we actually Got out of support from other communities and we had a community meeting practitioners like Continuous very practitioners workshop in los angeles collocates with open networking summit there in 2018 And in that photo you see there are eight communities because iran understood this is a problem We need to work together to solve and that actually Increased the awareness within the continuous integration continuous the projects as well Because if you think networking projects for networking projects the networking is their priority So continuous integration and continuous it doesn't get the attention it needs And this actually helped us to you know Get the topic in front of ci cd communities and start working with and users from different industries together And that's why I said when I started like CD evolution started within LF networking again other communities were doing Things similar to things we were doing but we actually scaled that effort and brought more people into conversation And yeah, that brings us to actual topic interoperability in cd Thank you pati Yeah, so after all this history We have the continuous delivery foundation And one of the topics that we really care about there is interoperability within the ecosystem um So we started there was a group formed within the continuous delivery foundation where we started discussing about interoperability especially interest group and out of that We created also actually projects and we are going to talk about This project today to Tackle this problem of interoperability So um switching gears a bit going deeper into the ci cd space So this could be like your typical simple version of a cd pipeline So you start typically where software which is stored in some configuration management system And nowadays, um, it's very Common to have software in git But there is still like software, uh, which is stored in svn or other systems and beside the Gitter svn the way that developers Interact and develop the the software is through platforms that are built around those So like your git lab or github a bit bucket or garrit or what's more So these can already be different With different software coming from different vendors And then you have all your different type of testing static analysis Building and building Especially testing and building can be very specific to the programming language that is used By the community that is developing software Test frameworks Deployment there is deployment twice because we're deploying to staging and the production then And even after production there is a observant monitor Which is still part of the entire Pipeline right and all these different steps and tools they they produce output So it could be like From the testing parts the test results they can go in the database You can have an artifact repositories with all the software packages are stored lock servers and other kind of artifacts and also it's typically Very useful to have visualization tools to visualize the entire workflow But this structure of pipelines bring Different concerns as I was mentioning Because you may have different tools involved different vendors So it becomes Complex to maintain and integrate all the different tools together I mean even within a single pipeline you have to Integrate some of the tools Together and you to be able to provide something like For instance the dashboard or commonplace where all the artifact is stored And so that's that's one concern Another concern is that these different tools that are involved in the pipeline internally They have their own different and opinionated data models So when you go and collect data from all the different tools You might be presented data With different structure some tools may expose some part of the data and others may not And so when you go and bring them all together You may actually end up losing some of the critical bits of information Because you have to adapt all this data to common format so This also affects it may affect the scalability and one of the Way you can see the scalability impact is also in terms of organization So if you have different pipelines for different software components within organization And they use different tool set or different pipelines It would be harder to have this brought at the organization level right because you have again different data formats different interfaces So it's harder to scale up to the entire organization And finally lock-in effects. So if you're starting working with a certain tool and you want to switch to another one But you implemented a number of integration already So changing this tool to another tool It will it means that uh, you will have to re-implement all these different interfaces because the interfaces are not standardized And so I wanted to look at integration versus interoperability Right, so in what uh, I talked about until now was like all the integration effort all the engineering effort That has to go into integrating the different tools and making them work together Adapting the data models and so forth But that means that then organization doing that they have to bear the Maintenance cost for this all this bit of integration that they're doing right and so replacing one of the components can be very costly While if we switch to interoperability In the interoperability work the different tools They have more consistent data models They have a common api that can be used to interact with each other Right, so it makes it much easier to replace one tool With another tool or to make a number of tools working together and so, um This is the vision that we have of interoperability And for that we created a project that it's called cd events for continuous delivery events And cd events is a specification. It's a specification for continuous delivery events And as I mentioned earlier the project was uh Born out of our the work that we are doing in a continuous delivery foundation to bring interoperability into the cd space Right, so uh, just to give you an overview of what cd events looked like So, uh, we have mission that serves different areas. So Interoperability is the main goal. So the Ability for different tools to talk through similar interfaces. So let's see if this works Yeah So starting from the software configuration management for build so forth So all the tools can If they generate events that they send signals about what they're doing This can be used to trigger the tools and to help them talk to each other And they can do that through a standard interface, which is what we Specify in cd events The second use case, um, is observability and matrix and visualization So once you have all the diff all the different tools in your tool chain Generating events about what they're doing saying, okay, I started this activity I completed this activity and this is these are the details in there So you what you can do you can collect all this in a single Evidence store and what this allows you to do is then have all the data in a consistent format in one place Coming from the different tools and then through this data You can build and end to end view so you can build a dashboard where you can see the entire workflow Happening you can calculate metrics. You can generate notifications out of it and so forth And another important use case that you can Look at through this evidence store is actually the supply chain security Because the fact that you're collecting all this data allows you to go And dig into the data and track where a certain artifact came from And or if you have a certain deployment happening or you have a certain incident happening in production You can then trace back All the things that happened in your tool chain that led to that point A bit more details about the cd event specification So it's organized in different group of events that correspond to different parts of the typical cicd pipeline So we have events related to the orchestration For tools like jenkins or tecton about pipeline starting task starting ending and so forth We have software configuration management events If you think about the the webbooks that you get typically from your github and github So this obtained to standardize the format used for those so that you can If you have all the different tools emitting emitting this Same type of event you can just do integrate them once We have continuous integration events. Those are about builds and artifacts And these are especially important when you want to track Artifact or you want to apply policy for instance about an artifact being signed about having things like Is a provenance available for this artifact? What are what is the s bond for that artifact? So we are building this kind of features into these events testing events Also, they can be used to Have a look at what what all the tests that have been executed on the software are And you can use them as well to enforce policies for instance If you want to make sure that your software has been scanned for vulnerabilities at certain security tests or integration tests that have been executed Before bringing into staging or production. You can do this for this data And finally we have continuous deployment and continuous operation events And that's that's more about the deployment and operation part of the pipeline And apart from that in city events, we also define how this Data is transported. So we rely on a standard project as part of a cncf. It's called cloud events And the advantage of a cloud event is that it provides binding for a number of different Transports underneath so you can transport cloud events on top of htp But also things like nqtt kafka nuts webbooks and more okay So apart from the specification in city events, we also provide sdks. So today we have golang java and python And we have a few adopter projects So there is a plugin available for jenkins And we are working on implementation for spinnaker tecton as an experimental implementation Test test cube a testing framework also implemented city events adopted city events And we are working with the harbour harbour and argo communities. So they have an rfc app for integrating city events And we have contribution and support from many companies I won't read through the for the list there Our community keeps growing And in terms of future, of course, we are working well continue development and we We plan to Develop more sdks as those are really important to integrate with different tools that are written in different languages So the next app that we have planned for our dot net and javascript And also we are starting to focus a lot on supply chain security type of use cases I mentioned that earlier so we have some Events related to that but we want to enrich the data model to account for more information in in that area like S bombs and provenance data and so forth Further to that we are working from Architecture point of view also within the continuous delivery foundation. We have an initiative About creating a reference architecture. So we are collaborating between the city events project and the cdf To build it architecture The idea is we want to make it easier for project adopting City events to to give a view of What is the intention how these events can be used and how they can be implemented in the different tools and then used together across the different tools um Yeah, we also have We're not working just with the cdf. We are collaborating with a number of different communities So we have been discussing with the cncf the tag app delivery They're also very interested in standardization in this area So we we hope to collaborate with them further in the future So, um, we have an effort ongoing also collaborating with the open telemetry project because they're also very interested of course in the A mission of monitoring and collecting data and of the we're thinking about standardizing how you transport data specifically for this CICD use cases over telemetry. So we are starting a collaboration with them to see how we can achieve same goal together We're also Interesting discussion with the open mainframe project. They're also interested in this kind of Work in consolidating and with the values tree management consortium and they work with Tools that allows us to define features that you may want to have in your software up to the Time where they get in front of users and so they're interested in in tracking all the data What how long it takes for our features to be defined and then implemented and what is the value it brings to users? and so They have a good amount of overlap with what we do in on the cd event side So further to that we will continue working with more and more Communities I mentioned as I mentioned we are working with argo and flux communities reached out to the flux Colleagues as well. So we're trying to get cd events Known as adopted as many communities as possible to bring more value to to our users The next step of course once we reach enough adoption And we started this conversations already would be to City events supported by different vendors In this area so company selling services in the cd space supporting that and we have Our first end users as well for cd events and we have been collaborating with the continued delivery foundations to publish end user stories Which are very interested interesting if you want to learn more about how companies are investing and adopting cd events to streamline Their cicd platforms internally you can find this on the cd foundation website and Yeah, how to join So we have cd events dot dev website And so there you can find links to the specification and the community so You can find links to our Chat channel to our mailing list and to the all the meetings and the working group that we host if you want to to connect to us And especially We have a slack that is hosted by the continuous delivery foundation Where a lot of the conversation happens. So Please join join us on this slack and if you have questions or you want to contribute Be free to reach out to us there And I think yeah, that's all we had for today Yeah, I think we are a bit early, but we have some time for questions If you have any and thank you any questions here in the room Okay, I'm not seeing any on the virtual platform as well so We've got a few minutes before our next presentation So if you all just feel free to take a quick break and we'll commence back here at One I'm sorry 220 Just one last thing As I said like this work originated from LF networking from telco Well, unfortunately, we don't have We don't see many, you know People joining to this effort on cdf site lots of other Companies and industries like this. I think this Andrea shown It's like we have lots of contributors and there are even more Contributors we don't know about but it's really important for uh telco Or networking industry to actually Take part in these conversations and I see Some especially csps doing really cool stuff with githops and so on But those things are like local fixes like those things don't actually address the interoperability issue in that that issue will still be there if people adopt githops and use flux or arg or whatever, but in then those Pipelines will need to interface with other pipelines both within csps and You know towards vendors and that is the key thing. I think it is important if we can bring some, you know Contributors from networking communities Then we can have, you know broader conversations and networking use cases could perhaps be addressed under this effort as well and we can hopefully standardize within the cd ecosystem these, you know cd events Based data model and so on so Please join quick question So you were talking about potentially bringing in networking use cases here Do you see a potential forever working with the 5g super blueprint? Exactly. I think we I I don't remember who I talked to it might be your header or My probably header header kerksky because like 5g blueprint It has some cd stuff in it as well not very visible, but again we can Experiment with these use cases directly under the 5g blueprint as well like Demonstrating like how multiple vendors could interact with its target csp for example, which the 5g blueprint could be the csp in the end. So I think like again Since I worked telco in us for 16 years My worry is like we will continue working on these topics and community will continue moving forward And since the project is very young it is easier to bring in your use cases there and and part of the specification if it takes for time for a while for Networking industry to start engaging things might become a bit more difficult because the specification will be stabilized 1.0 release will be made and it might take Longer to get those things addressed within the you know cd1 specification and 5g blueprint could be Something we can you know talk and see how we can have some kind of Demo to start with how this could help 5g blueprint for example We'll take a quick break. Thanks everyone


It's Ethan from CrankGameplays and today we are here in Immortals Phoenix Rising. Big big thank you to Ubisoft for sponsoring this video. They came to me a few weeks back.  I'm a huge huge fan of Greek mythology especially as a kid I was a giant giant fan and so I was like yeah I want to play so I've actually played a couple hours of it so far. As you can see it's a beautiful beautiful world. I'll show you my character. This is my character. This is Phoenix. She's really kidded. But in the game again based around Greek mythology you have to go around there's seven different regions a ton of different gods and goddesses and a bunch of Greek myths and monsters that you have to fight like the Minotaur and Medusa and a bunch of others but you get a ton of super cool weapons along the way and you can customize it as well as well as the stats and powers that you get but right now so like there's a bunch of weapons from Greek mythology like I have the sort of Achilles I have the forbidden labris slave I don't know how to pronounce that the bow of Odysseus I got the helm of the new Olympian I am trying to get I'm trying to get all of the wing pieces because these are the wings that Icarus used when he flew too close to the sun but I don't have all the wing pieces yet because the wings are a little bit broken so I can't do everything that I that I want to do with them yet and then you have a whole skill tree of abilities which is sweet but before the video gets started I wanted to let you know that Immortals Phoenix Rising is actually on sale for up to 50% off at certain stores this week so go down in the link in the description if you want to check out the game and get it for a huge discount you can do that right before this I think that I might be able to tame a deer question mark how do I do that hi oh how do I how do I do that hello can I can I do that oh that's not an accidentally click tab but but here's all the regions that you can go to so right now we are here in the valley of eternal spring this is the place that you start off at which is Clashing Rocks but the map is huge we got Kings Peak the Forge lands gates of Tartarus grove of Clio's more than and then again Valley of Eternal Spring uh I'm super super pumped to explore so this is the brand new place that I just got to haven't explored this at all but let's actually get going wait I want to put my I want to put my helmet back on I had a cool helmet on that I want to put back on aha there we go let's look at ooh ooh ooh ooh baby yes actually I would like to keep that on thank you wait can I customize it even more I know that I can ooh soldier armor set I don't have the other things unlocked but what you can do actually is they do have a seasons pass kind of thing I don't have a ton of coins what if I bought some coins real quick hey hey hey hey hey I got quite I like I got coins I want to get ooh downloadable comment yeah so they have the seasons pass what you can get which is sweet because not only is there a bunch of like different cosmetics and stuff that you can get which I'm a big sucker for cosmetics and I'm gonna be honest with you oh you can do character packs Hades the shadow master character pack oh baby I think I'm gonna do this oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and then on top of that oh oh yeah yeah get all of them why not I got new stuff hyphens rage weapon pack that's cool okay so now if we go into my inventory let's go in here real quick oh oh I like that a lot let's mix and match wait did I confirm that yeah oh yeah oh yeah we're gonna do that this we're gonna do that uh-huh oh that's so cool I love that yeah yeah yeah yeah oh I don't have a horse yet all right here we go look at me look at me oh yeah let's show you some combat real quick hey bears I know I shouldn't disturb you but I might just disturb you for a second hello bear I just want to show off what I can do here oh I apparently I can I can die here oh no I should not have done this this was a really bad idea this is a really really really bad idea oh no this was a really really really bad idea this is a very no good bad idea oh god I've got both of the bears and I'm dead okay we're not gonna do that again okay please don't have a memory bear please don't have a memory I'd like to befriend you actually in the future well if we threw it yeah that's right we can glide now I just unlocked that yes oh look at me glide my wings are so cool what are these I don't even know what these are Olympian figs okay all right so now here's some here's some boys down here whoopsies hey who are you this isn't technically a minotaur is it maybe it is bang got him that's my Apollo's arrow let's see what I can do to this boy right here ow did I die immediately I died immediately okay we're not gonna mess with him either so let's go okay here's some boys I know I can I know I can beat these boys whoopsies whoopsies whoopsies wow all of these weapons are a lot harder than the last area or sorry these enemies not weapons which is really good though because in the last uh in the last area near the end especially I was getting a little OP so we got my big big axe boy for the heavy attacks oh get out of there oh no and then we got my smaller sword for the quicker attacks get out of here pig boy you love to see it so if I had to compare this to any game I don't actually know if I should I would say this game is a lot like a breath of the wild mixed with Greek mythology which in my opinion is a really good mix really really really good mix the combat is tight it's obviously super beautiful I love the customization of it that you can do what if I kill you real quick what if I get you right in your eye right in your peeper dude I'll help you guys please don't die immediately but I'll help you oh wait I remember how I need to fight this dude I forgot come here wait come back yeah he gets a little funky wait come here let me pick let me pick something up got him yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah get him down get him down get him down get him down pick up something else oh no I wish that I could have gotten that get away get away get away get away get away get away get away get away get away get away get away get away get away oops oh no he keeps moving get him right in his peeper dude I ran directly into that or all the other dudes dead. I was hoping that I could save at least one or two of them. Let's go save this last dude. See if we can do it. Come on. Come on. Oh no. Oh no. Yes! Oh at the last second. Oh. Oh that was close. That was really really really really really close. Okay. Destroy the Cyclops. That's good. That's fun. Lift. Oh good. I got pomegranates to heal myself. That's good. Ooh. Big thing of pomegranates. Yeah. Give me all of them. Thank you. Alright. We gotta get it. It gets at the top of Mountain Doom over here. How am I gonna... We got a lot of climbing to do. Climb to the very top. Here we are. The Hall of the Gods. Very nice. You love to see it. Look at me. My bright suit of armor. Flickered in the sword. Oh it's Hermes. We met her earlier in the game. You would have seen it if my computer didn't mess up everything. Remember that thing I stole from Typhon? It was an itty-bitty piece of his eye to hide this place from his terrifying gaze. You're welcome. Typhon is... Raining some mess on the whole world pretty much. So we gotta stop him. By the way. With his hand on Phoenix's shoulder, Hermes recounted the tale of Typhon, Destroyer of Gods. Destroyer of Gods, eh? Born of Gaia was a terrible, cruel beast who vowed to free the Titans and obliterate the gods. This is a good time to give you an update on Typhon. I've played through everything else. The heavens. The stars burnt through Typhon's chains and in an explosion of fire and smoke. Those stars. Those pesky stars. The gods are dead and tortured him. Now this world will be cleansed. The gods will transform. Typhon sought his revenge. That's why he be mad. Destroy the veil that separates the child land from the other world. Let Tartarus walk among the gods. Drill the bow and turn this life into death. Oh, there's Medusa. I'm excited to fight Medusa.  You are underestimated by power and work in your humans. Go to my unseeable perfection. Some gods fled in fight. Many were captured. Typhon split them apart, cleaving their essences from them and transforming them irrevocably. In the final desperate attempt to save their lands. The gods called on the heroes of old, the last warriors who had more than a few drops of God's blood remaining in their veins. Am I one of those? Am I one of those? Your heroes will exist as shadows of their former selves. Sure, make me forever. And so had the heroes. But just when all hope seemed lost. That's when I came into the picture, baby. That's when I came into the picture. That's cute. So yeah, a lot of fighting and losing. And now you are our only remaining hope to restore these lands to their former glory and save the world from chaos. That's the way it be sometimes. No pressure. No pressure at all. But the spiky hair, you or Typhon? Forget it. The vanquished gods need to be reunited with their severed essences to regain their power. Then together you must defeat Typhon. This is honestly a lot. I wish my brother was here. Oh yeah, her family got frozen. I'm not perfect. I'm the guy who went from the Pandora to Earth for Zeus's sake. But maybe, just maybe, you're the right hero at the right time. Also, you're literally all we've got, seeing as how everyone else has been defeated. Good luck. I'll be right here doing nothing. I mean, beginning preparations. Thanks. I think. Oh, there's that face again. Fine. Your best starting point is to reach the top of the other statues on the Golden Isle. So you can track the missing gods. Find them and they should be able to help you locate their stolen essences. Although, they haven't been themselves. So I'm really not sure. Um, what's that mean? Not a lot of help for her. All right, so I gotta go to... I gotta go... To the top of the places? Ooh. There's that wonderful smell again. Ambrosia is life. You want increased protection? Distill it here and drink up. Then enjoy the ride.  Right after, she had sided with them in battle. It was epic. Sorry. Guess you just had to be there. Many of my relatives were. They died. And I told Athena not to do that. But did she listen? No. Let's drink some Ambrosia, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Drink up, drink up. Your maximum health increased by one health. Oh, can I not yet? I can't upgrade yet. Not yet. Not yet. Look at the scenery. Look at the scenery. All right, so let's go here. Go and see... Aphrodite. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's fly, baby. Look at me go. Look at me. Calling around. Oh. Oh, this uses that. Okay. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Okay. Okay, cool. I didn't realize that that used stamina. Whoops. Should have probably been paying attention to that, but it's okay. Everything's fine. Little bears not going to mess with you. No, thank you. Please, please bear, be on my side. Let us go and see. Aphrodite. Ooh. Are these multiple Cyclops over here? There was two of them, I think. We're on here. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. Let's just snipe them from real far away. See what happens. Why not, you know? We might not be able to reach him. Yeah, I got him. Is he going to come all the way over to me? Oh, no. Oh, no. Just run. Just run away. Run away, Eve. How does he know where I am? Hello. Ow.  Just get out of here. Oh, no, and those bears are already mad. Time to take care of these boys, I guess. Ow, ow, ow. Bye bye, piggy. Time to make a little bit of bacon. That's what happens when you mess with me. Ooh, chest over there. What's in you? What's in your wallet, dude? Thank you. Sometimes the chests have bigger things and I'm like armor and stuff like that. So it's always good to check. Always good to restock, you know? It keeps going all over the place. Oh, I need to be on top of her finger, don't I? All right, yeah. We got to do some climbing, climbing gamers. We got to get all the way up to the tippy-tup. You ever been up to the tippy-tup?  Ooh, I do be hearing something, though. Yeah, guys, hear that magical, that magical noise. Ooh. We got Nikes in here, dude. We got some Jordans. All right, here we are. All the way at the tippy-top. Ooh, we got one of these, too. Embroja. Embroja. There's stuff going on. And at the tip of Aphrodite's hand. Ho-ho-ho-ho. It's so pretty. Oh, so I need to go up there. Aphrodite isn't here. That's cool. What's on the tree, though? Ooh, baby. No longer shrouded in mystery, huh? Ooh. That's cool. I like being able to fast travel. That's nice. What's at the tree? Where is the tree? Where's that little tree? I see the tree. Let's go.  How's that sound? I asked that sand. Okay, here we go. Leap. Here we go. I wish we went a little bit faster. But that's okay. That's okay. We just floating up here, doing what we do. I don't know if we'll be able to make it, but that's okay. Uh-oh. It's okay. It's fine. We'll be all right. We'll be all right. See, we float down so nice. We might not be flying anymore, but at least we're not following to our death. There's a plus side to everything, guys. There's always the silver lining. Is this Aphrodite? Apples. Don't be afraid of me. I'm chillin'. I want to ride a deer. Didn't happen to be Aphrodite. It is. Yes, I am. Pleasure to humbly make your acquaintance. Such a fan. Such a fan. All the time. I have to admit, I wasn't expecting a tree, but even in your, uh, arboreal state. You're beautiful. Oh, that's sweet of you to say, but the only mirror I gaze into these days reflects the happy smiles of the creatures I help. Oh. If only I could travel to those most in me. But alas, my roots keep the other way. So that's why Typhon did this to you. So you can't lose your beauty to move ships. Or inspire bravery in battle.  Start a war? I don't know where you get such outlandish ideas. True beauty is found in acts of service. True love is the giving of yourself to others. The name Aphrodite should have stood for those things all alone. She did not just say that. She formed now my old essence locked away in a vault wedged under my largest root. Which is for the best. Maybe I could get that essence back for you. I'm going to need allies to go up against Typhon. We have the hungry to think about. You said you need to free yourself from your roots to feed the hungry, of course. Well, my roots were as a pretty bad farmer. So I know how to hurt plants. Salt. It shrivels them up. Would that work? But of course my roots are not ordinary. They're prime. Powerful. Where am I going to get a bunch of salt? Mythical salt water? Oh! Possibly trouble a stranger to recreate the conditions of my... How am I going to make a storm? What if a stranger asked to be troubled? If a stranger asked to be troubled, I suppose I wouldn't really be troubling them at all. How are we going to do this? He's got your seafoam from my birthplace. I already... Mom loved this story. Trampapi Uranus threw a pearl into the sea. The sea turned into foam. An Aphrodite rose up out of it. A pearl? Grandpappy? I'm not sure that's how it... That's definitely the story. Okay. I'm sure that's how it went down. Got it. Knock a pearl into the ocean really hard. That sounds simple. Where am I going to get a pearl though? Thank you Phoenix. I'll be serving fresh apples to the less fortunate across the Golden Island. No time. I want to ride a horse. So how am I going to do that? Aphrodite Sweet and charitable. No more mischief. Isn't that what you were aiming for when you married her off to the Festos against her will?  I mean, she knew I was doing it for our own good. So... I just don't know how I'm going to get a pearl into the ocean. Where do I get a pearl? Why... I throw it into the ocean? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pomegranate. Give me more pomegranates. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me all the pomegranates. Thank you. There's a couple dudes hanging out. What if we're real quiet? Huh? Cannot say me. And I just do one of these.  I got a bone to pick with you. Hang on dude. Get him down on his knees. Down on his look. Get out, get out, get out. Oh no, I don't have enough stamina. What's though?  Oh yeah. Going down baby. I've got big muscles. The pearl. Is it going to roll down into the sea? Is it going to roll down into the sea? It's going to roll down into the sea. It's going to go all the way down. Oh, I like watching it roll. Go, go little pearl, go. I wish it rolled faster, but that's okay. Now it's really going to go quick.  Down to the bottom of the sea. Got to get all these guys. There we go. I don't think anything else will get in the way of me and my destiny. I think it's time for this baby to go into the sea. Bye bye pearl. Oh yeah. Do I have to go get it? Collect the seafoam. I got it. The Cronos may fought. Can I fast travel? I can fast travel, right? Yes. Wait. Yes. Oh that's wonderful. Oh I love fast travel, here we go. For Didi, I have some wonderful seafoam for you. Give me some cool. I'm blessed. Full gas. Did it work? Coming out of the foam, I was so Is it working? There's too many cuddly creatures that need my help.  Yeah, yeah, but did it work? There's Typhon. Big daddy Typhon. What? Hi? My guy? What's happening?  Did you want to help or something? Have you kind of pogged? Be a little pogged? Wow, nothing, literally nothing I'm doing. Did you want to help? Oh no, I'm about to die. There I go. What just happened? I don't even know what just happened. There's no continuity errors at all in this outro. I don't know what you're talking about. Okay.

Redundant array of independent disc or in this case an expensive disc. I started this and I'll leave link to the video About a year ago. We wanted to see some more durability testing with ZFS and free NAS And so these drives have been running for a long time and they finally gave me so many errors They got annoying they did develop bad sectors We think they were pending To give you the background is if you don't want to watch previous video These are a bunch of old used laptop hard drives that are not all the same We have a Hitachi Seagate a couple of Western Digitals, but they're not exactly the same model The only thing that these drives have in common is that they're all 5400 rpm They are all 500 gig and they are all very used out of old laptops that we've refurbished Frequently on laptops come in if we do any refurbishing ways pop a new hard drive in generally an SSD Because they're faster better and hard drives are not that expensive anymore So we were curious how ZFS would handle this and we wanted to do a real-world test Not just a bunch of synthetic read rights to it. So we set this up to be our nvr for the last Roughly a year and they did develop some bad sectors, which was not surprising at all They come came out of some pretty rough laptops and as you know laptops get bounced around a lot and Generally the hard drives are especially spinning hard drives and laptops I'm so happy to have SSDs in them now. They seem to have much better survivability rate But ZFS handled this like a champ even though these drives were mismatched, which is completely not the ideal situation But that was also part of the reason we wanted to do the testing We'll see if there was weird errors that came across these drives Oddly no weird errors. No unusual stuff Just regular read write errors based on a couple extra bad sectors that a couple of them developed over time But we think they had pending bad sectors back to them being out of a laptop that were fairly abused But no data loss as a recurring only some annoyances of getting the messages because our free NAS sends out a message when a Drive has an error, but ZFS is able to recover those errors So our long-term testing turned out to be fairly uneventful no data loss and no weird incompatibilities But it doesn't stop there In the midst of this and I've talked about these Toshiba drives before we don't know why and it Exclusively so despite having these and this is all in the same machine It's all in the same j-bot that we have for our free NAS with our running next to our production stuff These three terabyte Toshiba drives This is the last of them And they didn't die. Matter of fact, they found new life in other machines as independent drives They have a raw read error rate, which I've been told by some people you can ignore and smart But it's annoying because it is on one of the production drives And we have now swapped out all the Toshiba drives in our system and we've went fully We have 12 hgst drives in there. They've been my preferred hard drives I've talked about them on my back plays videos back plays has done a lot more statistical reporting than the 12 drives Tom has to tell you that hgst have a Extremely highly reliable track record and before you say but they're western digitals Hgst was purchased by western digital But as I understand from anything I've read From people talking from the company as they've left them very independent Which they didn't want to mess with their high reliability They just wanted to own a high reliability company and the two drives We've really been a go-to for no problems and all of our free NAS build have been Western digital reds which offer inexpensive Very low heat great storage all the wood wd red systems we built knock on wood none of them have Failed and the hgst's we've built quite a few hgst Arrays and none of those have had any issues at all. They have been great The only time I ever had one was we actually had a drive that was Cracked out of the box weirdest thing ever the corner was smashed apparently was dropped We tested that drive it did test bad it tested but had tons of bad sectors on it's the only time ever We've had a problem and granted that was for a backup server anywhere refurbished drives And only one of those refurbished drives had a problem. It's just for an extra redundant system But this is our quick follow-up on this and kind of the hard drives How they lasted I've had a lot of people ask can I mix mode hard drives? You can it's not ideal You may get weird errors. I'm actually surprised that having four different Model drives did not cause any errors or problems But having even when these were paired with other toshivas They constantly gave these errors and when we paired them all with There was three hgsts in one toshiba it lasted for the last year without an error then all sudden I got errors on this one too The drive test fine smart data is fine. We went through a shred process on it. It works So the drive doesn't seem to be bad at all, but we replaced it with an hgst popped it in there Resilvered the drive and everything works great. So this is just a quick follow-up on that It's not an ideal to do mix mode drives, but it does seem to work perfectly fine But occasionally you find weird incompatibilities and we're not sure because there's two two different controllers gave An error. So we don't know if it's something with the firmware on toshivas I'm not sure for reference. This is a toshiba p 300 hwd 130 7200 rpm You want to know the model numbers model numbers and these are completely not relevant They're creptastic drives out of old laptops 500 gig mixed drives, but So cool that it works like this So if you just need to store some data and maybe these aren't the most reliable drives, but as long as you have enough In the pool statistically it should work and you have an array of inexpensive drives But still always back up Like I said, just quick follow-up Hopefully this helps you in a little bit of your hard drive decision or if you just want to play around with Free to ask it's okay to load it on a bunch of old drives.
