So, here's a quick disclaimer. You may or may not remember a video on this channel talking about how Jin would have to leave the rest of BTS on December 4th, 2020 because of a certain long-standing South Korean law. And you may also be looking at the upload date of this video and think, hey, isn't it past December 4th? Isn't Jin still here? Didn't he just perform at the 2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards a few days ago? There! That's him right there! Okay, we can all see that he's still here and he hasn't shaved his head yet. So now that that's out of the way, what happened? Was I just lying in that video? Was it just clickbait? Well, no. Everything I said in that video was true. It wasn't that my information in the video wasn't correct. It's that South Korea itself changed its mind. If you've watched this video before, I should let you know that this video is mostly the same as the last video, but I changed some of the information to reflect the recent changes in South Korean legislation in order to avoid misinformation. And I also fix some audio issues that really bugged me. But there's also a good chance that you haven't seen this video before. I mean, when this video was uploaded, we only had 37,000 subscribers. So if you haven't seen it before, enjoy. And thanks again for the 100k. If you've been following this channel, BTS really is a group that requires no introduction. The hip-hop group started in South Korea in 2013, eventually becoming the quintessential worldwide K-pop boy group phenomenon we know today around 2017. Right now, it's not an exaggeration to say that they're on top of the world. And as far as pop groups go today, they're unmatched. Their popularity is being compared to that of One Direction in their heyday. Or even the Beatles. They're the first Korean act to reach number one on the Billboard charts. And they just became the first group since the Beatles to earn three number one albums in less than a year. Just like every boy band before them, they have their own massive fan base. Their fans, known as ARMY, are some of the most passionate fans that you can find in the whole world. However, starting in December 4th, 2022, ARMY will likely see the members of BTS join the South Korean Army. You see, mandatory military service in South Korea has been around since 1948. The beginnings of South Korea as a country. This mandatory military service was so important for the new country of South Korea that it was put into its constitution as Article 39, which states that all citizens shall have the duty of national defense under the conditions as prescribed by act. This means that all physically able men from 18 to 35 must perform military service. And while women can as well, they're not required the same way men are. And if you're at all familiar with the events in Korea that happened during the 50s, you'll understand why this is so important to them. And while the Korean War had a ceasefire agreement on July 27th, 1953, it was exactly that. The ceasefire. The war technically never ended. Because of South Korea's unique relationship with their neighbors to the North, an active military has been deemed necessary. Always ready in case of a surprise attack. Something that as a possibility has never left the minds of South Koreans. So now that we have that out of the way, what exactly will be happening on December 4th, 2022? On August 1st, 2018, the South Korean government made a shocking announcement. The required age that all able-bodied males must enlist was dropped from 30 to 28. This meant that when the oldest member of BTS, Jin, turned 28 on December 4th, 2020, he would have been required to enlist according to South Korean law. We all thought Jin would be leaving us by the end of 2020. But just when it seemed like all hope was lost, Jin got an early birthday present. Only three days before Jin's birthday, on December 1st of 2020, the South Korean government made a surprise announcement that allows select K-pop stars to postpone enlistment until they turn 30 rather than 28. Effectively changing the big day of Jin's departure from December 4th of 2020 to December 4th of 2022. People are already calling it the BTS law. Perhaps the government of South Korea found the kindness in their hearts to listen to the voice of the people. Or perhaps it's because BTS rakes in almost $5 billion annually for the entire country. So you better believe that the group, and by extension, Army probably had some hand in this. And while this is definitely exciting news, just remember that this is not an exemption, but a deferment. Well, the first problem is that even before enlisting, there's an issue that prevents candidates aged 25 to 27 to only a total of five trips in the course of two years. And each trip is limited to a maximum of six months. Thankfully, another announcement by the South Korean government was made in September of 2018, reducing the length of required military service for conscripted soldiers who enlist in 2020 and after the Army and Marines are reduced from 21 months to 18 months. The Navy is reduced from 23 months to 20 months. And the Air Force has reduced from 24 months to 22 months. So really 2022 is not a bad time for our boys to join the military. If this is news to you, this whole process may seem a bit archaic. The only countries with mandatory military service longer than South Korea are Singapore at two years, Israel at two years and eight months. And finally, North Korea at 10 years. Because of the constant tension between North and South Korea, we don't expect this law requiring mandatory service to be abolished anytime soon. There have been exemptions to military service, however, particularly when it comes to the athletics and the arts, such as Son Heung-min, a football player for Tottenham Hotspurs, and world famous pianist Joseong Jin. In fact, despite its strict policies on mandatory military service, the South Korean government has introduced a staggering amount of exemptions for athletes. The first exemption was given to a wrestler Yang Jung-mo, after the 1976 Summer Olympics. And afterward, an exemption was then promised to any athlete who won a medal in either the 1986 Asian Games or the 1988 Summer Olympics. In 2002, the same promise was made to the national team if they reached the round of 16 in the FIFA World Cup, and again to the 2006 national team in baseball if they reached the semifinals in the world baseball classic. The decision to exempt athletes from military service was an extremely controversial one. And after this, public outrage The government has since scaled back on exemptions. Current regulations state that there will be special treatment given to any and all athletes who win medals in the Olympic Games or gold medals in the Asian Games. But rather than a complete exemption for military service, they are placed in grade four to be enlisted for supplemental service or the second citizen service rather than active duty service. Unless they are an exceptional case, they will not be placed in grade six, exempt. While grade four is better than active military service, they still have to do four weeks of basic military training and attend a few days of annual military training for the next few years. Aside from that, they're pretty much free to continue their own sports careers until their service is over. While complete exemptions have been scaled back, we have seen a few in recent years, including 2008 Olympic gold medalist badminton player, Lee Yongdae, 2011 swimming world champion, Park Tae-won, a 2014 Asian Games gold medalist tennis player, Chung Hyun, and of course, Sun Hongmin, a 2018 Asian Games gold medalist football player, just to name a few. While the exemption is controversial, a strong argument can be made that when it comes to sports, two or more years of military service during that person's prime could be detrimental to their career and even end it prematurely. I mean, countless news articles documented Sun Hongmin's career hanging in the balance when the Asian Games were coming to an end. And look how happy he was when he did win, not just because he won the Asian Games, but also because he didn't have to risk losing his entire career. The same thing, however, cannot be said about K-pop stars, while violinists, pianists, and ballet performers have received an exemption for military service in the past, it has never been the case with actors, directors, and yes, K-pop stars. Popular in the late 90s and early 2000s, Yu Sung-jun, also commonly known as Steve Yu, is one such K-pop star who was an exempt from the draft and decided he didn't want to serve in the military. Starting his career in 1997, Yu was the face of the K-pop industry before there really was much of an industry. He won countless music awards and consistently topped the Korean charts. But in 2002, right before he was supposed to enlist for mandatory service, he emigrated to the United States and became a naturalized American citizen. Little did he know that this decision would completely end his music career in Korea. The government considered this an act of treason, deported him and banned him from ever entering Korea again. Immediately after, Yu applied for a Korean visa at the Los Angeles South Korean Consulate, which was promptly denied. In 2015, he appealed to the Korean court to reverse the decision to deny his visa, appearing on video, pleading on his hands and knees, saying that he'll do whatever it takes to be accepted back into Korea, but he was denied once again. He tried to appeal it a final time in 2017, but after a court hearing, he was denied once more and he is no longer allowed to appeal to entry ban. Miraculously, in 2019, the Korean Supreme Court sent Yu's previously closed case back to the Seoul High Court to review, stating that the law has no restrictions preventing Steve Yu from visiting South Korea. Soon after, an appeals court reversed its earlier decision in favor of Yu, which could eventually allow him back into South Korea if all goes well with the Seoul High Court. This remains to be seen, however, and despite being banned 18 years ago, evading military services so looked down upon by the Korean public that 70% of Koreans still believe Yu should be banned forever. Perhaps the most high profile Korean celebrities to have served in the military so far have been G-Dragon and the rest of Big Bang. They played a smart and nearly all of them chose to enlist in 2018, with the exception of T.O.P., who enlisted in 2017. This resulted in the ban returning nearly all at the same time in 2019, only a few months apart from each other. So what can be done in BTS' case? Here are five possible options that I've listed from option A to option E. Option A is exemption, of course, which is preferable. This would allow BTS to continue to perform together with no mandatory military service. However, this option is already off the table due to the defense ministry's unyielding policy of no exemptions for pop stars. So let's move on to option B. Option B, one after another. This will mostly be the same information as the previous video, but since the mandatory enlistment age for K-pop stars is now 30 instead of 28, two years have been added onto every date. If we assume that each member waits to turn 30 to enlist, similar to what we can assume Jin is doing, here's a timeline we can follow. And these are all just estimates based on the birth year. The order of enlistment and return may vary. 2022, Jin leaves. BTS is 6. 2023, Suga leaves. Five members left. 2024, J-Hope and RM leave. Jin and Suga return. Five members left. 2025, Jimin and V leave, and J-Hope returns. Depending on who leaves first, we could either have three members or four members during this time. 2026, RM returns. Five members. 2027, Jimin and V return. Jungkook leaves. Six members. 2029, Jungkook returns. And BTS is 7. There are several strange things that will happen to the group if they choose to enlist one after another. First off, for some of 2024, until Suga returns, they won't even have a rapper unless you count Jungkook, with the remaining members being Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook. In 2025, there's a chance that BTS will have only three members with Jin, Suga and Jungkook. And finally, there may be a chance we see an OT7 reunion for about three brief months from June to September of 2027, right before Jungkook leaves. But after that, they will only be six until 2029. That's nine whole years from now. And remember, these are just estimates based on their dates of birth. They may choose to enlist earlier if they want to. Option C is what I'll call the Big Bang maneuver. They all enlist together at nearly the same time. This will require the entire group going on a two year hiatus and returning again all at the same time. It was possible for Big Bang considering that all four members were born within three years of each other. But with BTS having seven members that have an age range of six years, it just seems like a lot to ask considering that the youngest member, Jungkook, will only be 25 by the time Jin needs to enlist. And while it's possible, consider that Jungkook will continue to be a talented artist, even if the rest of BTS is not present. He would be missing out on the freedom to experiment, see great potential personal growth, and pursue solo projects during this time. Option D is what I will call the Phantone solution, posted by Quora user Danelle Phantone while doing research for this video. He suggests that the enlistment can be staggered and done in two to three staggered groups, with the groups having at least one rapper and one vocalist, one English speaker, and one golden. This ensures that there will always be a group ready for concerts and promotions, as well as a comeback by 2023 or 2025 if we had two years with the new legislation. Now option E is are you ready? Wait until the draft is abolished or Korea is reunified. Now for either of those, don't hold your breath. But it is possible. No matter what option BTS chooses, Jin says he's ready to serve, as is the sacred duty of every South Korean citizen. Now what do you think they'll do? What do you think the future holds for BTS? If there's a suggestion that hasn't been discussed in the video, let me know in the comments. The original video came out in February of 2020, back when we had less than half the subscribers we do now, and the great feedback and support we've received since then have been absolutely enormous. First off, if you've been with us since then, thanks for watching it twice. And I guess even if you're new, a big thanks for all the love and support. Also, keep an eye out for the next big update to this video in 2022. Thanks for watching. Hey guys, if you like our video and want to support our channel in any way, buy us a coffee on Kofi.

This is the build your own Ansible lightsaber talk. It's got two components. We're going to talk about Ansible So it's gonna be really intro level there and then a little bit about lightsaber So first what is Ansible? Ansible is a tool that lets you do make SSH connections to a large number of remote machines and then Push commands over the wire to them There's three modes that you can use Ansible in. Ad hoc is kind of just running one command at a time on the remote machine You can use it as an orchestration tool, which is really kind of doing the same thing You know running tasks on the remote machine, but it's more of a time when you are able to pre-plan and say Oh, well, you know I have this set of five tasks that all kind of make one logical action And I want to be able to run that on these remote machines So if you have time to prepare that in advance, that's kind of what orchestration comes in And configuration management is what people mostly associate with Ansible Configuration management is also about running tasks on remote machines But instead of thinking about it in terms of I want to do this thing on a remote machine You think more along the lines of I want to make the remote machine match this certain state So here's some That's You guys want to step forward we could do that What is that PDF you could just read it or all the slides like that I Unless they're switches behind the screen Oh, is this all in text No I Didn't have to read the madness. I mean Yes Okay You know really quickly it's just kind of doing one task at a time Ansible the command I'm running here that I stand for inventory inventory is all the host that Ansible is going to go about here. I'm just giving it to a host on the command line web server one and two I'm telling it all which means we're all a host that you know about an inventory So the story behind this could be something like oh, you know, I get a call at 10 p.m And someone says oh the web app is broken. You know, it's doing all these bad things You got to go fix it right now And you know, you start you look at the code you stare at you do this and do that You find you come up with a fix it's midnight You're like now I got to get this out all my web servers and go to sleep so that in the morning you know I can do all the everything correctly check it in to get whatever else So ansible here is allowing me to copy using the copy module The fixed file that I have on my server up to a different directory on the remote server Because the remote server is going to require special permissions. It won't work. It's just my ssha user by logging in as I'm gonna use sudo and it's gonna have to be for a password in order to do that and then after a copy that file up I'm gonna run a second handle task here Calling the service module this time until I go ahead and restart a patchy on that machine so that it applies my changes And one thing about this the second one you can see the force one That's telling ansible that instead of spawning off a new process for every every host here I just want to have one process and that way I'll kind of serialize it and that way I won't end up, you know bouncing all the web servers at once and everyone's seeing an outage The parts of the web app are still working doing the force one means that those were Users upon this low balance system. We'll see things continue to work the whole time So here's the output the first task I run it makes this copy of the file It has to ask me for the password the cgo password. I type it in it goes out Ssh, I've got you know public private keys set up so they'll have to ask me for a password to that it Then copy the file over to the remote system, and then I return some Jason information here that tells me about What it did change true means yes, it did in fact change the file It wasn't the correct file to begin with so I pushed the new one up It gives me a check some of the file Destinations just tell me where it put it and then it's got some other you know file system information about it And you notice it gives me both web servers this telling me what happened on both So if I had been experimenting like I'm one of the web servers live and I already had the file there They tell me changes falls for that web server, but the other one would be changed true And then the second pass that I ran to do that Is returning less information because the service module doesn't have as much information that feels like an easy to give me It's just telling me that change is true. It was a success and That HTTP on that server is now running So pretty simple Here's an example of orchestration orchestration is is similar to running ad hoc tasks We're just telling ansible that you know We want you to go and do this that the other thing on the road server But instead of being at the command line having to type everything out we've got the opportunity to pre-plan this So in this orchestration task what we're saying is we want to run a young update on the remote system Now, you know, sometimes we're young update the package will get in there and say oh I really don't want to upgrade that package because it's kind of dangerous. I want to evaluate the changes first so We're taking this this logical action of updating my server to all the newest packages and we're going to Do it in four different tasks that allows to stop right in the middle So the first task is calling the young module and it's going to do a list This is a parameter. Oh, so playbooks. This is the first time you've seen a playbook Playbooks are yaml and yaml is kind of it at data structure format that's text-based for people to read The top level playbook is a list so the height and introduces a list and each list is each list entry is called a play Within a play you can have a name field that gives you a way to describe it So we're calling this one up. They are hopes Posts which just like on the command line specifies which post that Ansible knows about an inventory are going to get run So once again, we're going to do them all all of our machines And then we have an entry called tasks So each of these is a dictionary key and then value for the task dictionary key is going to reference another list And we have four entries in that list and those are the four tasks that we're gonna run So like when we're in ad hoc mode, you know, we're just doing one task at a time Easy to represent one of those types of tasks We can name each of our tasks and Then the main part is right here. We say young that is the module that we're going to go ahead and And use the young module we're tell giving it a parameter list and we're telling it We want to list all the updates So it's going to copy that command month of that young module out to the remote system And it's going to tell it to list the updates that are available on that system and return that information to us Then we use register In order to register the results into this update variable so we can access it later and use it in the play with the cycle We want to do You notice this is Indented underneath young that means that it's a parameter of the young module along the module Whereas register is out one level and that means that's a parameter of this task So there are certain parameters that you can apply to any path when registered And then the modules themselves also take parameters and the indentation level kind of terms where those fall Second half here is debug debug just prints something to the screen So in this case, we're telling it take the bar updates and inside of updates There's an attribute results and we're going to print that to the screen for the young module That's going to print a list of packages So that's kind of what we want next one is the pause module and what pause does this is just pauses Execution and it lets you decide what you want to do So we're going to give it a prompt that says okay user We want you to take a look at this list of packages you want to apply them Hit enter if you decide. Oh, there's something dangerous in there. I don't want to do it They control C a and then within the board and then finally Then we're going to run the next pass with pseudo the young module again, but this time we're telling it Okay for every single package that's installed. We want the latest version of that package that will actually run the update So here's the output Hey, one of the output It starts out that after the pseudo password again, we hit a dash K. So you can do that Gathering facts gathering facts is an implicit task that all the ansible Playbooks always do what it does is it gathers information about the remote systems that it's talking to So you can decide for instance. Oh, this is these hoes are running fedora And so then if you wanted to in your playbook, you could do something like say write a conditional that says if this is a door machine or a red hat machine then use the young module if this is a This is an emotional machine or a Debian machine then use the app module. And so you can manage a heterogeneous environment approach that way then we get to our first pass Which is that young list one and it goes out the room machine and looks up that information and Then it returns it it doesn't show it to us instead gives it puts in the register variable It passes it to the debug path that we specify and then the debug task goes ahead and prints out the information So ansible is going through and it's applying these tasks to each post that we specify so if you notice In the inventory I used an inventory of the command line again the door 20 and 21 So it's saying okay, so I have two hosts that I know about so when you say do this to all the hosts I mean these two hosts because that's all it knows about And so for each house it runs and it finds the results so on one host It decides what we need design and they've updated it on the other one system Do you got Python freeze is what needs to be updated and so then say okay those sounds safe I mean what could go wrong if we update something to do with system D You know it's not like you can break the world so we're gonna press enter and Then it goes ahead and update the packages And then it tells us a little bit of a summary here of what happened He says all right all of our all our changes are good. Okay, five change one unreachable zero So okay is saying we had five tasks. They all completed successfully failed zero means none of them Failed change we changed things on one whole unreachable zero all of those were contactable. We didn't you know have any time Config management is basically the same as orchestration But the difference is kind of in in what your goal is so this is a playbook It looks a lot like the other one But when you are doing orchestration, you're really saying okay I want to do this thing like I want to deploy my web application and that might be okay check out and get Push push the files up to the rub system Restart patchy so every time you run that it's going to do these tasks. It's going to restart a patchy every single time for instance So you're going to see these changes happen every single time you do it more than once You might see them happen again and again and again So if you're doing something like you're notifying afterwards You have to be careful with those kinds of tasks because oh if I just run this in a loop Then it's going to notify me, you know 20 times and out of email for each of them So orchestration tasks you really you you're kind of training yourself I don't want to run these over and over can big management tasks When you write these you're you're taking care to say okay I don't want this to do anything if no changes occur, right? So if I'm not pushing out new things, I don't want anything new to happen I don't want new notifications to go out and these things so by writing a playbook for big management you're kind of Training yourself. I'm not going to do these things that are going to happen every single time So it's good to separately to separate them in your mind So we have post web servers this time What we're going to do is we're going to say well if we have web server What is a web server a web server is going to have a patchy and modest SL for us It's going to have our special config file and that's what how we're going to find our web server So our tasks this time are young again young module Install the HPV and the modest SL package You notice we use present instead of latest and what that does is it says are these packages available? Are these packages installable in the road system that way if they're already installed it won't do anything Even if there's a later later version it won't do anything. You'll just say okay. These are present. We're all good Then the second thing is to use copy and we're going to copy our hdblocal.conf file that we have written up to a patchy's config directory and The copy module is smart enough that it says okay if it's present on the road system and here then I don't have to do anything and then finally we're going to go ahead and make sure that the patchy has been started and it's enabled on boot and Once again, if it's already started and running it's not going to reload that for That doesn't mean that if the compile changes We won't get anything to change here and that's kind of a personal decision. We can decide to Do that in different ways? For instance handlers are probably more appropriate way to do that that way Whenever this this task actually has a change then go ahead and run the handler to restart And that way if you just run this playbook and then changes occur all the way through here A patchy does not get restarted, but this is the first time running it on a new host a patchy will be started Okay, so that's that's a config manager task in terms of how it looks it basically looks the same as a playbook orchestration path So what is lightsaber? Lightsaber was created by Ralph Dean and several of the fedora infrastructure They decided that the you know, they use ansible inside of the door infrastructure to Configure all of their machines a little bit of puppet That they're slowly phasing out lots of ansible to do that and they wanted to be able to do the same thing for their So they created this collection of playbooks that they're using to to you know work on their home machines Deploy things there that they need like okay. I want the same shell configuration The same t-mux configuration same vim configuration for all of my machines when I have a user account on them I want to be able to bring up a personal vanity web server I want to have an IRC bouncer and so they've just written these roles and said oh well I'm gonna share them with everyone else and see you know, maybe they'll have ideas. Maybe they'll find them useful So as opposed to the fedora infrastructure Repository of ansible playbooks. These are just really experimental. They're meant for maintain home systems So they're not not always as polished But you know people are playing around finding the best practices as they go along So what did we get out of using lightsaber? Ansible is very very flexible, you know, you create these playbook files, but it doesn't specify Oh, the playbook must live exactly in this one location or I need to I can break up these tasks into multiple playbooks or I can have them in one playbook You know, what's the best way to do it? So, you know the flexibility is great when when you've got a task and understand what you're doing and You can do exactly what you want But when you're first starting out, you're like well, well, I got all these choices. What do I do? So it's lightsabers kind of a skeleton you check it out You see what someone else has done and it's working for them and then you can say okay Well, I'm gonna like copy this and do it sort of the same when you do that. Okay. Well, that works I'm writing into this problem. So I'm gonna change it and so then you modify it and you know It gives you the skeleton this framework that can start off with but as you go along you can go ahead and you know make it maybe different and Then it's also weird a way to share roles that work with Fedora and Apple So Ansible has a website galaxy.ansible.com where people upload their roles and then they can share them with the provider community But the problem is that Roles playbooks can be a very specific, you know, because you're configuring an operating system They can be very specific to the operating system that you are Configuring for so if you find a role it might be that the person who wrote it wrote it for Ubuntu And when you try and use it for Fedora, all of a sudden things don't work They're using the app module. They have a package name and it doesn't match up Fedora calls the package and so on So if you get the roles from lightsaber, then you know that they've been used on Fedora and Apple and therefore they're gonna they're gonna work for you With a much higher like it Okay, let's do something with lightsaber First thing you have to do is you have to fork the repo. It's up on give up under under Ralph's Ralph's account And then I like to create a place to do My work so inside of lightsaber there's There's a director called playbooks. So inside of the playbooks directories kind of where you make your own configuration so I made I made a directory with my username and I put Configuring actions inside of there because like I was telling you earlier, you know There's orchestration actions that you're gonna you're gonna do in this configuration Which you're like, oh, I can run these on con jobs about one two minutes Not gonna knock out harm or anything not just view out email to me all the time So that's kind of how I Then you want to create your own ansible config file at the top level the ansible of the lightsaber repo They have an example and they basically this but with some comments. I'd like to create my own because For instance the inventory file. We're going to store all the hooks though Ansible knows about the inventory file. I like to put that inside of my my own private playbook repo as well They the ansible config that they ship with that lightsaber has It actually references a top level in the tutorial file where everyone is storing their their hosts And you can do that what they're doing is they're creating a separate group inside for each person. So Ralph has his as all like being belonging to a 3D group and for me the CosMaker has his in a decos group So you can do it that way I just think it's cleaner to have a separate file So I redefined that first file to be separate the inside of this playbook spadger directory Rolls I'll talk about rolls a little bit They're the way that you take your playbook and you just separate out the part that's going to be generic I'm going to apply it at anyone who wants to do a similar thing So that rolls path is going back to the top level the lightsaber repository Rolls I'll show you a little bit The vault password file vault is a way to encrypt secrets like passwords and share tokens certificates different things that you don't want to be shared with the whole world and In the in this repo in the lightsaber repo they've got a little script called all paths. What's this? Saving your passwords into a single file. They have a script that helps manage that I'm not going to get into it, but you can talk to Ralph Bean or Luke Mackin or someone if you want to And they'll tell you how this script works and how it manages the password for them SSH connection. This is kind of just optimization here you can turn on pipeline what pipeline does is The way ansible works is you install it onto your your machine your local laptop your you know central server node whatever and then Ansible itself takes care of shipping the module that you're saying you want to invoke to the remote machine over SSH And then running it with Python So yeah, pipeline is true It takes that module and it pushes it to stamp Python standard in and then Python executes it. So you only need one One SSH connection in order to do that But you know You have pipeline that's true then Python has to Realize that you're sending it the data as a pipe and sometimes you can configure pseudo or SSH and it allocates a TTY for it and then Python gets confused and when you do that then the module doesn't work It thinks that it's an interactive session and so certain syntax doesn't work the same in the interactive session So if you're in an environment like that, you can't change your pseudo setting that set pipeline And that'll work around the problem SSH are kind of another optimization We're using it here for the SSH agent to the remote machine and that works around some problems For instance, if you're using synchronized module that uses our sync under the hood Our sync uses SSH talk to another machine So if you're going to synchronize and you don't have agent pouring on you can end up in a situation where You try and synchronize between two remote machines You get to the first one successfully it runs our sync and it's oops We've got a big error because I don't know how to authenticate the other machine turning forward SSH agent on a lead base that kind of problem Okay, and then in terms of organizing your playbooks, so we've got this little directory off on our own We want to drop our playbooks from before they were scandal on playbooks, right? So like the configure Apache one It had the the configure Apache playbook the animal file and then it had that one thought that one config file And we're copying so we can just drop that to the config directory and you know anytime We want to bring up a new web server we can just run that from there and it will just work The update post one where we did the young update that's kind of an action so I drop in the actions folder And that's all there is really to it if that's all you want to do with it is you know have a way to organize your own stuff but really I mean You're gonna want to get more in-depth with what lights you're right, so Inventory about so now we've been doing the unit or purely on the command line, you know You can get that high switch and specify all of our host But instead you can create a file that shows all the host that you know about you can use groups You can use aliases. There's a lot of things that you can do in the inventory file You can go ahead and talk to me and I can tell you about them, but this is just a very simple inventory file It's kind of an I and I format. I've got local host at the top VM via a virtual machine group and I put the door 21 and 22 because those are two virtual machines on my laptop Bear metal Rome. That's my laptop fedora I decided that instead of relying on facts I create my own group and All my fedora machines would be there so that I could know okay. I want to do young update other to the door And then this is a test host group and by saying children there I'm saying take the children this group and put it in there So all of my VMs are test hosts. So if I wanted to do something to all the ones that call test hosts Then I can use that group name Alright, so lightsaber the roles that are currently in lightsaber make use of certain variables that they want to have the time So that you know free being stuff is different from your stuff There's different from my stuff like username Just the username that you're using in your local system so that like if we're going to create a new user on it on a fresh install box It doesn't use an HP If you're using the ir3 browser role, then it uses these two, the ir3 nip and twitter nip. So you just put those in This is also for creating a new user account So you can use this is a dictionary all users Okay, there's a dictionary. I think the key is all users And then we're going to create a list of users each user In the list, you know, if you're using the hyphen in the list, and then each of those is a dick user This one is used by the SSH lightsaber role meant for the login So it's a it's got a little You know a conditional inside of the role that says okay root login is true Then in our configuration of SSH We're gonna set it to allow root logins and if it's false then we'll turn that off and then the common role is also used to create you and you can specify a shell there There are better ways to define variables and I'll get into some of those But this is the way that like Ralph set up his stuff So I wanted to show it to you so that when you read it you don't think oh well So should do this one thing, but I don't see that you're anywhere. So you can look at this I'll show you another way to do it So role I talked about roles mentioned them. I haven't really explained them Roles encapsulate a set of tasks just like playbooks But they're a way to make it more generic. So the playbook we specify, you know the host and There's other things you can specify the playbook level like variables and so on and so forth So those are all kind of types of your local environment So the roles instead are allow you to parameterize The variables so that when you run this action this logical set of tasks You're able to give it certain information But somebody else who runs it can give a different information or if you have something like oh I want to install Apache on Five different types of machines one's a proxy server and once there's static web pages and one does this and one does that Being able to parameterize the role means that you can feed a different information depending on you know What exactly you want to do? okay, so lightsaber shifts with several roles and So like if I wanted to set up an IRC bouncer There is an IRC role in that top the whole lightsaber roles directory So this is what my playbook would need to look like in order to set up Mike the door is only one voice to be to have an IRC bouncer Instead of a tasks area, I just say role use the role IRC and that's it You remember in the variables that we defined earlier we defined a few user information Use of the IRC bouncer role, so it's possible to pick those up Handles off the role the roles can substitute them into the files As long as there's no bugs in that role, but you know So it makes things really simple if you can find a predefined role that already does what you want So let's create our own role and see what that looks like Now you go to the top level lightsaber check out directory and then into roles And then you want to create your own directory for the role. Let's create one for bed message So there's Ansible, like I said, it has a website galaxy.hansible.com where Users can upload roles. So the command line tool that works with roles with Ansible Galaxy But it just really works with roles not with Galaxy itself So Ansible Galaxy and its head message will create this directory structure that is proper for a role CD's the head message directory that I've created and you can take a look It has a bunch of a bunch of directories inside of it Each directory can have YAML information or regular files. I will explain a few of them And a few of them we don't really need at all So you can feel free to remove all the ones that you don't need So this is going to be a very simple role. We won't need to deal with handlers or meta We'll use templates instead of files, and we'll use decals instead of files So I'm just gonna get rid of those directories If you want to know more about making roles, you can go ahead and ask me afterwards And we can go over some of the other things you can do So the first thing is you define your tasks. So this is like the task section of a playable file We don't have the post and other stuff up at the top, but we do have the tasks themselves So in the tasks of directory, there's a main.yaml file Go ahead and put your three tasks in here that are kind of how we're going to find bed message So we're going to use the young module again. This time there's two packages that we have to install Then we're going to configure it by using the template module instead of the copy module I'll get into what the template module can do And then we'll take this endpoint.py.d2 file And because this is a role, look for it in the templates directory And we'll go ahead and run the template module to template in our variable And then it'll drop it off on the remote machine, etc. And then we'll use service again in your policy service in order to restart the service on the remote machine So this is like the tasks from the role. It's pretty simple. I want you to know how to make a playbook This is just, you know, an extension of that Here's the template endpoint.py.d2 We put it in that templates directory so that means we'll know the square to find it when it's processing this role And it's just a basic FedMessage config file You fresh install the package and look at it. It looks almost exactly like this Except for this line here, you can see the double curve braces FedMessage underscore server That's a variable that Ansible is that we're going to set in Ansible And then it will go ahead and Substitute the value of the variable into the template before it pushes it over That way, you know, you can at your site, you can set FedMessage server to one thing But at someone else's site, they can set it to something else In the defaults sub directory, we here are going to set that variable to some default value And there's two ways they can set variables. There's the defaults directory and the bars directory The reason I'm using defaults is that it's easier to override So there's like a precedence order of where you can get bars from the inventory files can hold our variables The playbooks themselves, the whole variables, you can get them from all these places The role defaults is kind of the lowest on the total pool So that means that, okay, we're going to set FedMessage server to low by lowest here But anyone who wants to override this is going to have an easy time of doing it If I put it in bars, it's like a higher precedence So there's certain places where it will not override from And so you use that for, you know, things that you're more sure you want This is what the role directory tree looks like Now that we've got every whole file in place, there's the defaults sub directory with the main.gaml That's where we put the bars that we just saw There's a reason why you can still add in with information about your role If you want to let other people know what's going on Task, this is where we put the main.gaml that has the tasks just like in the playbook Templates has endpoint.py.a2 and Ansible will then look in templates for that file Whenever it's referenced from a template's model Okay, and then, you know, back in our private little area here We're going to set up the config before I get my server And this is what it looks like, you know It's pretty much like the IRC one except that instead of relying on the variables in Ansible Are a new, you can see that we're passing in the parameter here as another entry to this dictionary So roles is the list of roles We only have one role in this list The role name is fedMessage And then there's a comma that we're setting fedMessageServer And it goes to the door.com too That's in fact as much beautiful and not a beautiful sign Okay, so anyways, that will override the load most that we had earlier And have the door.com 22 being substituted into the template So that's the end If anybody has questions or comments or anything else Here are some links Ansible is written by Michael DeHaan You can find it on GitHub Ansible, Ansible It's in the floor repo It's .mitage.vansible.com Lightsaber is written by Ralph And it's a .mitage.vansible page there And if you like this presentation software, that's where you get that Okay, questions No questions? Yeah, go ahead So I noticed when you did the first few examples, you used the sudo So it prompted you for a password Where was it? Was it prompting you for the Where was it acquiring root on the local machine? And then SSHing as root to the remote machine Or was it SSHing as you and then acquiring root there? So at SSHs as you And you can set that as a Variable as well Per host if you want to So you can say, okay I've got a site one user And that's what I want All of my customer site ones are going to use that user So you can set Ansible SSH user It uses that user to SSH over And then once it's there Then it uses sudo to get permissions Okay Can it just use SSH keys without needing sudo at all? Yes So like the first Because mounting my home directory Over NFS to everything Would be bad Right Now I've got four Kerberos tickets in It's further back I thought it was bad It was waiting for it So this one If you notice I've got sudo true here So if I don't specify dash dash sudo on the command line I have to just do dash capital K It'll prompt my sudo password But for these It will not use sudo It goes SSHing and run these commands Because they don't need to have your permissions But then when it gets down here Then it will SSHing use sudo Because you do need root permission for that Because I generally have like a SSH key SSH key with a really big password That lets me get in as root To all, yeah Yeah, so if you have root Just take out the sudo from everywhere And use answalt underscore SSH I'm just going to use our user equal Oh, okay And then it'll all SSHing Yep, any other questions? Okay, great We're done If you want to, you know Talk to me about examples or anything Problems that you're having Feel free Nope

Ang gandang hapon sa inyong lahat. Good afternoon, Minasan Konnichiwa. I have greeted you in three different languages this afternoon because what I intend to talk about is the cultural policy during the Japanese occupation. A period of time where it lasted very short, it was three years, but this was a period of time where you have a conflict among cultures. It was not just a military occupation, it was also a cultural battlefield. And so I'd like to introduce this to you. We were commemorating 75 years of this war having started this coming December. But during the war we were very exposed to the United States. We had strong Spanish cultural influence still. Our own cultural tradition, we knew a little bit of it, but it was not entering the school system. It was more popular culture rather than formal culture. What the Japanese did was they tried to bring in their own perception of culture. They brought in a military occupation. They brought in their economic policies, but they also brought in with them an economic and cultural policy that would bring the Philippines closer into what they called the Greater East Asia Corpospirity Sphere. When the Japanese landed, they brought in for soldiers, they brought in their food, they brought in their own techniques, they brought in their own practices. When they took over Manila, one of the first things they did was to try to restore normalcy. Normalcy in the sense that movie houses would be reopened, newspapers would be allowed to reopen, radio stations again broadcasting. About a month later, they put out their cultural policy in the form of educational principles. The educational principles basically were about four or five points, the first of which was that the US was no longer a cultural power. The US was gone, the period of rule of the US had gone. And so replacing this was Japan. And the cultural policy that the Japanese did was therefore first to remove the traces of the United States, remove in fact or minimize the European tradition in the Philippines, and replace this with an Asian perspective, an Asian perspective led by Japan. And then secondary to that, bringing us into the fold by letting us look back and examine our own traditions and bring that tradition back so that we'd fit into the Asian mold. And then as a subsidiary to that, the Japanese also tried to bring in their own concepts, things like love of labor, decency, dignity and all of this. They sounded very nice on paper. And when they tried to implement this in the field, it also started to be interesting insofar as the peaceful relations between Japanese individuals and Filipinos was concerned. When they introduced this in school, they did bring in the idea that you had to learn Japanese, but they also brought in the idea that you had to learn Filipino. You had to learn Tagano. You had to be proud of both the Asian concept and the Filipinoized version of that, which was Filipino. So the Japanese would have had a very fertile ground to bring this on. And as the schools opened in 1942, you did have this cultural policy coming in quite strong. Not only in the schools, but even in the government offices. Government officials were told to take supplementary classes. They were asked to learn Japanese. And even Japanese soldiers in the streets sometimes tried to teach their own language. This would have been fine again, but this was war. And so we were introduced to a different system that we had not been exposed to before. We belonged to Southeast Asia. We had been trained. We had been reared in Spanish tradition, US democratic tradition. When the Japanese came in here, it was quite different. Japan comes from East Asia. This is a Confucian society. And the Confucian society prized hierarchy. Yet people on the top, people in the middle, people in the bottom, and you had to know your place in society. And therefore when the Japanese brought in this cultural concept, we would be under the Japanese. The Japanese were number one. We were number two. Japanese language was tough. Filipino was second. So there was that hierarchy built in. The second thing that the Japanese also tried to bring in was a sense of discipline and obedience. You had to follow the teachers. You had to follow the superiors. You had to accept that without question and so on and so forth. They felt that this was good because people in the Philippines were seen as undisciplined. And therefore if that sense of discipline and responsibility would be brought in, the Philippines could become a better place to live in. Again, nice to say this on paper. And some Filipinos at that time did see there was a possibility of the Philippines looking into a different perspective, coming into a different worldview. Some of the intellectuals did see that. That they saw we had not become part of the Asian world and that they thought it was high time to learn Asian practices, Asian languages, Asian history.  Prior to that we only had world history which was largely European history, American history and Philippine history. But during the Japanese occupation we began to look into Asian history, Chinese history, Korean history, Japanese history and we had not known about that at all up to that point in time. So again, it sounded nice on paper. It sounded very good. It was a good policy. Intellectuals looked into Japanese art. They looked into bonsai. They looked into haiku and all of this. And it did seem something interesting. Some of our writers began experimenting writing haiku in Filipino or writing haiku in English but on Philippine themes. So the cultural front was very wide open for discussion. The problem was, while you might discuss this in school and you might meet occasional Japanese who would point to the skin and say, we are the same skin color. We belong to the same race. The problem was outside the schools, outside these friendly Japanese that one occasionally met, the rule of the Japanese was essentially military rule. And what was the priority at that point was culture not too much of importance. It was important it was not top priority. What was most important was the military crushing the guerrillas and crushing resistance and also getting the economic benefits of Japanese control. So what people remember from the war is not so much the cultural policy but they remember the Japanese soldiers slapping their mother or their father on the streets. That undid what the Japanese were trying to do. While the teachers were trying to say we belong to the same group of people we have a similar cultural base the soldier who slapped at Filipino in the street undid that all. The soldier who slapped the Filipino did not know that he was doing harm to the Filipino-Japanese relationship. They were following what they had been trained. In the Japanese army it was believed that slapping was the most minor of the punishments that a soldier could be given if he broke the rules. So to a Japanese soldier a slap was something normal but in our culture a slap meant something much deeper than that. Your whole person was affected by it. So while the Japanese were trying to bring in their culture they also brought in parts of their culture that didn't fit into our own cultural sensibilities. One thing the Japanese for example did because again the cultural background was so different they didn't know how to use western toilets they didn't know how to use western bathrooms and so one person I interviewed sometime ago said that when the Japanese entered their house they looked at the toilet they didn't know what it was and they washed their faces in the toilet bowl and then they looked at the sink the lavabo they didn't know what it was for they stood on it and there they urinated so they didn't know how these things worked and so when you have a conquering people because they didn't know what they meant you wonder what kind of conquerors are these and we also had this cultural disconnect because how did the Japanese take a bath for example the Japanese took a bath in hot tubs and what they did was they cleaned themselves outside and then they put tubs of water on top of stones put a lit fire under this and then they took the bath afterwards. The problem with this was it was done in that hierarchical system that we talked about earlier the confusion system the officer was the first to enter the tub after which the second in command entered the tub and then the whole platoon followed suit after that so to us who are so familiar with taking a bath every day by ourselves seeing them go through one tub of water ten people, a hundred people one after what kind of superiors are these these we could simply not accept which is why although there was this good there were good policies that the Japanese tried to implement they did fail what was more successful was the inculcation of an Asian orientation and more successful still the inculcation of a more Philippinized identity not so much aligned with Japan but more aligned with the Philippines and this also aligned itself with the resistance movement and others who were outside the Japanese controlled area so when we look at the Japanese occupation we do see there's all this fighting that took place there was a lot of violence but there was also a cultural aspect to it and one thing that the occupation short as it was showed us and is still relevant to us today is how Filipinos can adjust to fast changing times adjust, make do, survive and even make the benefit out of this what were some examples I might give here we learned the language yes the Japanese language we learned bits and pieces of it but we twisted it so that it could be a form of resistance so instead of accepting the Japanese way we made it a weapon of our own example of this was the words that I said earlier konnichiwa that is Japanese for good day good morning in Japan is ohayogozaimasu and when you bound to the century you said ohayogozaimasu but some Filipinos in Manila found out if you added one letter to ohayogo it became a Tagalog word which meant totally different so they added the letter P after ohayogo and they bowed as deeply as they wanted to the Japanese guard saying ohayop or ohayop gozaimasu and the Japanese soldier would say very good Filipino very obedient but actually we had won over him we were cursing him and saying ohayoka that kind of thing so there were these reactions that we were doing and we did survive the war we made fun of the Japanese we made jokes out of them we made jokes out of the Americans earlier on we made jokes during martial law it's a point of continuity that we see we are able to survive by laughing at these things we also survived even though there was all these difficulty there were shortages the Japanese controlled the economy everything was had to be rationed so one joke that came out during the Japanese occupation was ano ang din na lang mga kastila dito sa Pilipinas religion ano ang din na lang mga Americano dito sa Pilipinas education ano ang din na lang mga Japan dito sa atin ration because everything was rationed and they said we should change the name Pilipinas to Pilapinas because everywhere you went you had to line up for soap for rice for sugar for everything else so we survived by making jokes out of that and even though we had shortages we did try to subsist on what we had discovered our own local resources and we made our own substitutes for former goods that we imported and just to mention one item that's still very much on the market is banana ketchup before the war nobody touched that did not exist during the war no ketchup came from the United States we wanted the taste of ketchup somebody invented it and advertised it as new it was called the inventor Dalo Francisco and the brand became Mafran Banana Ketchup and that's why we have banana ketchup today 1942 Philippine ingenuity and so cultural cultural policy of the Japanese might not have worked exactly the way they wanted it to work but we took over in a sense immediate work in our own sense showing that we were still the boss of everything else so with that thank you very much for listening and good afternoon Konnichiwa Magandang hapon sa ino nila


weighted average. Inventory system using third-party app or integration. So your next your next method would be I'm going to have my Shopify or Amazon store where we're facilitating sales. I'm not going to try to pull all the inventory. I wanted to have a more sophisticated inventory system possibly but I don't want to pull it all into QuickBooks item by item because again it will overload the QuickBooks system especially I have a lot of volume of inventory. So you could then integrate third-party applications which are designed to handle inventory which are usually more sophisticated than QuickBooks in and of itself to handle more sophisticated inventory needs. So this would usually be something that most I believe accountants for e-commerce would be recommending for more higher volume people that are selling on e-commerce like a like an Amazon or a Shopify or something. So we can use third-party integration apps to manage inventory often useful for higher volumes and more complicated inventory needs. So we're not going to go into these in as much detail here because there's going to be more customization. So when you're looking into inventory applications for more complex needs part of the reason that you're doing that is because you have more specialized needs and you're looking for software that is flexible enough to cover those specialized needs so then you can go in a bunch of different directions in terms of what your specific inventory needs are and the proper application to deal with those could vary depending on what your needs are and if you have a higher volume of inventory then it's worth your time of course to do the research and figure out what's the best fit for that situation but some inventory apps you can look at to get an ideas SOS inventory, Zoho inventory, Ecom Dash, Earplane, Locate Inventory, Final, and SIN7 so you can dive into that in more detail if you so choose. We'll work some example problems in the future thinking about a cash-based system and then thinking about the periodic inventory system and we'll talk about flow assumptions like FIFO and weighted average in our practice problems.


Hey, what's up you to I'm Zeke and welcome to the dream green show now Let me tell you guys the oldest form of making money and that's exactly what I do every single time I go on vacation to make it completely free I'm show you guys how to do it in this video How I make money how you can make money and how you could travel completely free And if you stay to the end of this video, I'm gonna show you guys how you could get free flights as well But arbitrage guys the oldest ways of making money You don't know what that means that basically mean by product load and sell it at a higher value, right? So that's exactly what I do every single time I go on vacation No matter whenever I travel outside of the country I try to find a product that you cannot find inside of the United States For example, I'm gonna give you guys my last two trips Well my last trip in this trip as well on how I made my vacation completely free So whenever I travel to Mexico, I know that they sell pure white Hennessy out in Mexico That they do not sell inside of the United States So before I even leave I asked my friends.  They give me a hundred dollars. I buy them in Mexico for $50 and then I bring them back Now I know inside the airport that you could buy five of them inside of the airport and bring them as your carry on That's the limit just five, but I'm not saying how many you could put inside of your suitcase. Remember, this is not financial advice I'm not even sure if this is legal. I'm just saying what I might Hypothetically do from occasion to occasion and another time that I travel to Canada, of course, they sell Canadian whiskey You could get crown Royal down here in America pretty easily But the prices in Canada on crown Royal is completely insane. It is dirt cheap You could buy bottles up there as well But you know, I know my alcohol not telling you guys to follow my examples Now that's just my last example right now I am over here in Spain and the way that I pay for this trip Remember stay to the end of this video if you guys want to find out how I flew over here for free But over here in Spain, guess what's very Inexpensive and that is luxury items to luxury clothes.
