What's up gamers! In this video, I'm going to be showing you how to unlock easily all 15 Skyview Towers in Tears of the Kingdom. Watch towers reveal the map and make traveling around to quest in the area much easier because you can see the landscape and know exactly what you're going to be running into. You can mark areas of interest from the map by being high above as soon as you launch out of one of these Skyview Towers. Use your Pura pad to mark shrines, mark different locations if you see them. That way you're able to head to those locations very simply by doing this. Another benefit of unlocking all the Skyview Towers is also that you'll be able to reveal the Sky Islands above you. That way when you launch up from the Skyview Towers, you can simply just glide over to a Sky Island. Lookout landing is going to be pretty simple. You pretty much as soon as you fall down from the Sky Island to the main surface, you go to Lookout Landing, you go ahead and you talk to Pura. After talking to Pura, you're going to head to the Hyrule Castle area to talk to a guard. Come back to Pura and then she'll give you the Power Glider and then you can access that tower and jump out from it to unlock the area. Also by doing the Lookout Landing Skyview Tower, it pretty much shows off all the other tower spots on the map. This is the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower and this is going to be one of the first ones you can get to or really fast. It's pretty much just south of the Lookout Landing Skyview Tower. And here's pretty much how to do it really quick because they did show this one off in the previews. First you want to get underneath the area and you want to ascend up as fast as you can. There you go like that and we can pop another Ascend here. You probably get closer but just get to the top view Ascend. Once you're up over here, these guys are going to knock down a wooden ball. You could either fuse this to a weapon or you can pick it up and drop it. You can't pass these enemies. You don't have to fight them. Like I said, you can run around them if you find a way just like that. And you're going to dart straight to the tower. You can avoid the boss. You don't have to fight anyone here. And as soon as you get to this door here, pop it open and click on that. That'll unlock this entire area. This guy's about to kill me, which is really funny. But it just shows that you can bypass this whole thing and it doesn't need to be unlocked by fighting all the enemies in the area. And then right after that, this part of the map will be revealed to the surface map and the above map. And then once you're falling from the first Skyview Tower, simply just get on your Power Glider real fast. And we're going to target the next one we're heading to. I kind of like the looks of this one over here. That's looking good. Look for any closer ones if possible and start already gliding towards that spot. So once I mark up that spot on the map, I'm going to be heading towards this one. And this technique is pretty much what you're going to do once we reach every Skyview Tower. There's no particular order you have to do it in. Just pretty much you get a faster glide towards that area once you spot it on your map. So let's head over to this one so I can show you how to do it. While I'm heading to this Gerudo Canyon Tower, check this out. Things do fall from the sky. So when you turn on your ability to kind of recall it back, that's going to go take you up to the sky and make it a little bit faster to get across. So do this and always be on the lookout for these rocks falling as you're traveling to an area.  Having this as an advantage to cross is going to be huge. Because look at that. Now I'm fully above this canyon area. It's going to go into the max. I'm going to wait for it to get maximum height. And I'm going to use that to my advantage to get across this entire spot. So make sure to do that as we continue heading towards this tower or any tower. Now the Gerudo Desert is pretty hot. So what you want to do is you can drop any water fruit or splash fruit and you can hit it. And that'll cool you down for a second. You can see my temperature change or what you can do is you can add a sapphire to your weapon. And that'll cool you down quite a bit in the area at nighttime. You're going to probably want to heat up because it gets cold here. So you would attach a ruby and wear probably your snow pants. That helps you a bit, which you get from the beginning of the game. So at nighttime, you can also wear your archaic warm grieves. And we're going to continue if you need to also have protection while you're heading to the spot. Make sure to hop in the shade because that does give you a temporary relief. That is the way to survive here while heading to that thing. And then there you go. There's another one that fell down. Another tip to use is always use ascent when climbing these high surfaces when heading towards your tower. If ascent shows up, make it a habit because you can go through objects a lot faster and just while climbing every single thing. Okay. There's my stone to do recall. So I'm going to hop on top of this and that puts us so much closer towards the spot. And we're just going to drop. Also, there's a dragon there. You can actually jump on these dragons and hit them and get stuff. So if you're here on these towers, that's also another advantage. But we'll have a whole separate video talking about dragons. So don't worry about that. All right. So head down over here. Now we're literally right by the tower and you'll notice there's somebody here at the bottom of this trying to get up here. So what's the only way to bring that person up here because this is probably not going to open at all. And when it does, it's not going to let you access it. Let me eat some food real quick because I am hot. So what you want to do is immediately go to the backside over here, get your ultra hand ready. There's a big metal one right here. Pick that up like this. And we're going to get this worker to come up here so he can fix the tower for you. Just go ahead, attach it to that. That's going to come down. Wait a second. Make sure to put it directly in the middle. There we go. There we go. You need it to be in the middle. There he is. And then he's going to talk to you after he does talk to you. He gives you some food and then it's already fixed. As you can see, it's not glowing anymore. And then you can access this tower and rinse and repeat. We're going to lift off here and head towards the next one that you see. When you get to the Gerudo Highlands Tower, it's going to be very cold. So make sure to have your archaic boots on plus a weapon because that has a fire thing attached to it. If you don't have any fire weapon or anything, I think your character starts to get a little more cold here. So you can either attach a ruby, a fire dragon skill. That should help you out with heating you up. When you approach this tower, you're going to notice there's actually no door in this area and there's only going to be a little camp here that gives a clue that there is a cave nearby. Now, the cool part about this is their cave is literally right in front of this camp. So you've got to read that camp log. They'll talk about supplies being in a cave. Ooh, star fragment. And then you're going to head into this cave. So you're first going to come down into the cave. When you're in the cave, you're going to want to use your ultra hand and place down a wood and ride that down. That wood is then going to drop you down into a waterfall that you're going to fall down in the water. You're then going to have to use another piece of wood to go down this water that is flowing all the way down. Hop on that. And then what you're going to want to do is make sure to have it go right underneath this wooden tower. Once you're right underneath it, you're going to want to use a send that's going to bring you right up to the sky view tower. You're going to notice it's surrounded by snow. That's why you couldn't find the entrance. And then simply you're just going to stick in your slate there and fly and unlock that area. While we're in the air in the sky view tower, you should probably hit that subscribe button so that link can beat all these monsters and we can get to 500K. It's really simple and you'll get a lot of tips and tricks like this. This next location is going to be Linda's Browse sky view tower. So this place is not too hot, not too cold. It's pretty much going to be west of the lookout landing sky view tower. You're going to notice you're surrounded by water completely. Now there's a lot of things you can do here. You can either put down some fans and launch yourself up there. If you have a rocket shield, you can jump up to the top and fly. But you don't have any of those supplies and you're simply just like, Hey, I got to get over there. You can quickly just build a tiny bridge so you can start climbing it. So go ahead and just auto build it so you can have the water completely. This is like the most bare bones basic way to go to this spot. Just grab these woods like this, put them all together. There we go.  There you go. So that's one, two, three. This is this is the most a jank way of going. Okay, you clearly don't need that many that I did, but there you go. And that's how you get to linders of brow sky view tower just like that. That is the using only the materials there to come up here and then you unlock this part of the map for the Ross pro sky view tower. This is going to be located in the heber region top left. We're kind of just unlocking all the left side of the map for you first. This is going to be pretty much a cold area.  Now there's two ways of going in one you could just fly from a higher point onto the platform or two.  Very simple to do that and use that wind to lift up or just burn and wait for them to go in. Okay, there you go. You've got Ross pro the next tower that we're going to be going for is going to be all the way up here at the paquita stone Grove sky view tower. Now this one's going to look really daunting, but the best way to probably go about it is come from Rito village over here and from Rito village you're going to go up this pathway. You're going to hit the snow field stable and move from the snow field stable up this pathway towards the area. So start climbing right from the shrine over here right by the stable towards this tower. Now they've actually included a little pathway here to make your lives easier. Instead of, you know, having to do some assassin screen kind of jumping another spot. So we have a ladder over here, which I will mark on my map right exactly at this spot. There's a ladder here. There's the coordinates on my screen. If you want to see it, you're free to screenshot coordinates at any time to make your lives easier. Then we have a little bridge they put over here as well, which is really helpful. Then you're going to climb this bridge. Oh, look, dragon.   Nothing too crazy. Just get your ultra hand and pretty much get to work on that. Okay, there we go. I built I built my kind of a jank bridge. It's not the best bridge, but it's something it's beautiful. All right, then just climb up there and simply just walk inside of the tower and open it up. There's no other tricks to that besides getting up here. There's probably other ways. You could probably a hot air balloon depending on what you have, but that is using the materials there to get up. So for the Elden Canyon sky view tower, there are a lot of stones that just fall out of the sky for absolutely no reason. And all you got to do is get to the top of that and just dive in from the top since the cap is broken.  Let this pretty much be the thing that gets you to the top and then you're going to see a hole open right above it and then go ahead and just drop down just like that. There you go. And you land and then you can go ahead and talk to that guy, open up the door and then take off and you have this entire thing unlocked or you can just climb up the tower. If you're not lucky enough to get a sky block and it just falls that you can use recall on just to simply just get to the top. This is the Typhlo Ruin sky view tower and this one is going to be located all the way up north, all the way up north. So just go all the way up here and there's going to be a little bridge or pathway entrance to walk towards that. So just head towards the tower. Now once you get at the tower, okay, so for the sky view tower pretty much you're going to talk to this bird. The bird is going to tell you that it is out of order and something is blocking the tower. So what you want to do is you back up, you look up and you see that there is something on top of the entire thing. So start to climb up the side and start to see the platforms that are around this tower. You'll notice that this is stuff from the sky islands and they could be easily moved by using Zonai technology. You can use rockets to get higher on some of them. You could use fans to go higher as well. Basically once you work your way to the top, you want to remove that top one. So you can throw fans on it like me. I'm attaching fans over here. I'm just getting this off the top. The moment the top is cleared, the tower will completely open up and then you can go ahead and jump out and the area will be revealed. This is the upland Zorana tower. It's going to be all the way. It's a very high climb, but remember, just like I mentioned before, use sky rocks and use all these other things to your advantage to get over to these towers. Now you're going to be finding a splash fruit plant right by this tower. Now it's there for a reason. What you're going to have to do is you're going to throw the splash fruit on anything that looks muddy. So you could throw it at the door to clear it. So open up the tower and also there's a character just trapped in that on the floor. So just go ahead and get him out of that too by throwing a splash fruit there. Once you do that, it's pretty much it. You have the entire tower open up and you could go ahead in it and fly. Remember again, this is quite a climb, but you can use other sky view towers to get closer to it as well as using the sky blocks and your typical climbing to get up and get over to this place. And this will pretty much reveal the whole entire area by Zora's domain. This next sky view tower is going to be in the northeast part of your map. So this is going to be located here in the Akala area. And basically what you want to do is climb up to this area and start running up this hill. There's going to be a couple of monsters on the way. It's going to reveal the tower as you get to it.  Literally all you have to do is attach a keys eye to an arrow so you can get a direct hit on it. Boom, hit them and it drops the piece. Then go ahead and just alter hand that piece or carry it, whatever you want to do and bring it back to the sky and put it right over there. And it should trigger even if you don't put it on the stand and he installs it and fixes it for you. And that's pretty much how to do the Ulri Mountain sky view tower. The next sky view tower we're going to is the Sahasra slope sky view tower. This is literally going to be completely east of these Hyrule Field sky view tower.  Go ahead and talk to that person and they're going to tell you that the doors will not open. When usually in the game something doesn't open and there's no way to get to it. You think, hey, can I go from above or the real big one? Can I go from below and use the ascension ability? So what you're going to do is hop off that area, drop down and then you're going to enter the cave on your map located right over here by the shrine.  Break apart all the rocks down here because there's treasure and other things as well. Then you're going to go ahead and move this little rock structure here. There's a little secret room here. Grab that frog that frog is gone and that'll show that the cave is complete with a check mark. After that go back out to the exact room where you moved the rocks and then ascend up right from there. That'll bring you directly under the tower. The bird is going to be completely shocked by you and after that you're going to move these little sticks here because they're blocking the door. Who did that? I have no idea. I don't even know how to close the door. Anyway, at that point you're going to open it up for him. He's going to get inside and do his work, fix it and the tower should finally be working and you can then finally have this area unlocked. The next one is going to be the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower. This is literally going to be a little bit southwest of where we were from the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower. So you could probably fly up from there and come down to here. So once you arrive at Popla Foothills Skyview Tower you're going to go to the door and you're going to see that the thing is not working as usual and you're going to see someone down the well right in front of it. So just head down that well.  Break some rocks down here and you're going to go find this guy. He's going to be in the middle of something saying, oh, I'm over here. Basically you have to go to the opposite side and get me out. So then you're like, oh, I got to go to the opposite side.  Once you're done gliding go into the cave. It should say the exact name and then step on that platform. By you stepping on the platform the guy is then going to run out of there pretty much and you can go back up to the top and that's it. You're done. That skyview tower is now unlocked and you've unlocked the area. Also, I don't know why. I keep calling you Poopla for some reason. It's Popla. The Rubella Wetland Skyview Tower is going to be pretty much just south of the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower. So when you arrive here you're going to notice it's raining. You're also going to see a lot of thorns around the area. Now this is going to be simple. You're going to think I get to burn it but it doesn't really work. So what you want to do is go to these little wood areas right here, the building stuff and put together a really long wooden platform. Attach it all and then lift it up and put it right above the thorns and make sure to place them on both of the platforms over there that are just perfectly in the spot. After that, all you got to do is go ahead and burn the thorns and the front door should be open to enter into this tower and then you can just unlock this area. This next tower is going to be all the way on this side of the map. Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower. It's going to be all the way to the east pretty much in this location right about here. And you're going to see it's a pretty big steep to climb or slope, but luckily you can see in some of this gameplay there are rocks that fall down that are sky rocks. So you can use those to climb up. It's not really an insane climb because some of the rocks are pretty not all the way up vertically. So you can make a nice jog up there and if you can do a little ascension at certain points that you can, there are little spots to do ascension. So it's going to be pretty easy. So just simply climb up there. There's no secret puzzles once you arrive there and you will be pretty much done with Mount Lanayru once you get to the top. Just open it up and you'll have this entire area unlocked. Just make sure to stay nice and warm. Now that you've unlocked all the Skyview Towers there's a lot of other things you got to do in the game. So click on this video to see what to do next.


President of the United States. Thank you very much. Please be seated. Wouldn't you know in Washington it stopped working there? No, now it's alright. Well, thank you all. It's a pleasure to welcome you all here as we mark Human Rights Week. Forty years ago this week, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For people of good will around the world, that document is more than just words. It's a global testament of humanity, a standard by which any humble person on earth can stand in judgment of any government on earth. Yes, we're here to recognize a set of ideals, our fundamental belief in the unalienable rights of man. But we're not for the people who work to uphold these ideals, then our words would be hollow in our vision without effect. So let us record that today we're also honoring a community of people, the heroes who have dedicated their lives to these values, who work to keep the world informed, who lend their voices to those denied the right to speak for themselves, and who at times have lost their own freedom and even their lives because of their courage in speaking out for the freedom of others. This community includes such heroic figures as Nathan Sharansky, Lek Valenza, and Armando Valladaris. It includes Nicaragua's permanent commission on human rights and Romania's democratic action. It includes peaceful groups that are working for multiracial democracy in South Africa, religious leaders in Vietnam, and activists working for Soviet Jewry. And also groups based in our own country working for democracy and human rights, such as Freedom House, Institute for Religion and Democracy, the Puebla Institute, the Cuban American National Foundation, and the AFL-CIO's Institutes for Free Labor Development. In addition, the cause of human rights has become an important factor in United States foreign policy. We have not brought these issues to the fore internationally because our own history is without blemish or sin, for it is not. Nor is our right to speak on these issues based on any claim to current perfection because we do not make that claim. Instead, what we have said is this, that the critical moral distinction of our time is the clear difference between a philosophy of government that acknowledges wrongdoing and injustice and one that refuses to admit to such injustices and even justifies its own assaults on individual liberty in the name of a ceramic utopian vision. The moral foundation of our human rights policy requires that we maintain a single standard of justice, and above all, that our policy must be an effective instrument for improving the lives of people, not an instrument for self-righteous self-satisfaction. Over these last eight years and before, we've seen that representative democracy for all its shortcomings and as imperfectly realized as it so often is, is still the best guarantor of human rights. So our concern for human rights must be used also to encourage the success of democratic institutions. The world has not failed to notice a great improvement in human rights that is possible when countries make the transition from authoritarianism to democracy. But we've also seen the capacity for bad situations to become far, far worse for autocratic governments to be replaced by totalitarian dungeons like Cuba, Iran, and Nicaragua. Let us as Americans set forth a simple humane principle, and any policy carried out in the name of human rights must not bring harm to those who it was supposed to help. It should not yield slavery when what it promised was freedom. In addition, we've seen that no totalitarian nation has ever made a peaceful transition to democracy. So this type of transition, which has improved the level of human rights for more people in more countries than any other factor, has not brought its benevolent fruits to the communist world. But reforms are possible and have indeed been occurring in Marxist-Leninist states. At my meeting yesterday with Mr. Gorbachev, as at each previous meeting, human rights was one of the four key topics discussed. Certainly we're not yet satisfied, but there has been real progress, which we must note and encourage. Many political and religious prisoners have been released, and many specific cases of family reunification and the like have been resolved. Immigration, though still below the levels of 10 years ago, has increased, but still much remains to be done to translate words into deeds. To bring the peoples of the Soviet Union, the full rights to which their government has committed itself under international agreements, including freedom of assembly, freedom of worship, national expression, and the like to leave one's country and return. Specifically, we want to see the release of all political prisoners. Dozens remain imprisoned, including two Helsinki monitors, Lev Lukhayanenko and Mikola Matusevich. Well, we await permission for all long-term refusings to leave. For all long-term refusings, we look forward also to the repeal of unjust laws used to jail dissenters. And I believe we learned yesterday that there is some improvement coming immediately in that regard, in the one country I've mentioned. We are, however, concerned by two new laws cited by Andrei Sakharov on his recent visit. They seem to step backward, creating additional barriers to peaceful demonstrations and that would increase the suppression of independent publications. One of the most important emerging forces of change is the information challenge to totalitarianism. Greater openness provides not just greater opportunities to exercise basic human rights, but also greater protection against a state that would infringe on those rights. And in this regard, Moscow's decision to stop jamming Radio Liberty and other western broadcasts is welcome news. Economic freedom is also an important corollary of human rights. The time has come to recognize that the basic economic rights to own, use, and exchange property, to create and produce, free of state control, are a fundamental part of human freedom and essential components to a decent and humane world for all peoples. Finally, human rights is inextricably linked to the issues of war and peace, countries that violate the rights of their own citizens pose a threat to international peace. Moreover, in regarding nations that violate human rights, we should be particularly concerned about those that are expansionist and would expand the reach of tyranny and reduce the sum of freedom in the world. We should always remember that to be silent on the violation of human rights does not advance the cause of peace. It does not improve relations or promote international stability. It does just the opposite.  For the free world to morally disarm itself would be the most vile form of appeasement. Our duty is to speak out and not just one day a year, but to make sure that every day is human rights day. We owe this to the people of the world, but also we owe it to America, to the founding fathers whose vision of liberty we've seen so immeasurably blessed by. What defined America, what gave our nation its purpose and mission was, as Abraham Lincoln put it, something in that declaration of independence giving liberty not alone to the people of this country, but hope to the world. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights would be lifted from the shoulders of all men. Well, I thank you and God bless you for all that you're doing and now I shall sign the proclamation. I'm not doing an encore, but just something that I think you might, I'll share with you. I've shared with many others. If I've told it to you, pretend I haven't. But it's a letter I received from a man who called something to my attention that I'd never thought of.  You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk or a Japanese. But anyone from any corner of the world can come to live in America and become an American.


Okay, so today I was supposed to be wearing some protective equipment, not because I'm social distancing, not because I'm trying to hide my peach fuzz stubble. Nope, none of that. I was going to be wearing some protective equipment, a mask, and some other stuff because of the cringe radiation that this list is probably going to emit. Now, I've made videos on art degrees in the past, and as a lot of people know, the job prospects for art degrees are not the best. There's still a few of them out there that might be worth it for you to go for if you're going for a very specific position. I made videos about that and you can check them out. However, there are many different art degrees that are not worth it 99.9% of the time. Now, I was going to be wearing a mask and some other stuff that I ordered in order to protect myself from the cringe radiation that this video is going to emit. And in fact, I would recommend that you wear a mask or something like that yourself, maybe some form of eye protection as well, because some of the degrees we're going to be talking about today are so useless that they make pyramid schemes look like a good opportunity. Today, we're going to be talking about the most useless art degrees. Guys, if you appreciate me putting myself through this much pain in order to make these videos, please don't forget to smash the like button. And actually, we're going to play a little game with this video today, okay? It's going to be called You Cringe You Lose. One cringe equals one like, two cringes equals one like and one comment, and three cringe equals one like, one comment, and one share. Okay? So these are the rules and you can also drink every time you cringe, if you want, as long as you're over 21. I've got some age whiskey ready here, so we can drink together. Let's get started. All right. So that protective equipment didn't come in, but in the spirit of art degrees, I'm just going to go ahead and Photoshop some protective equipment on me instead. So number 10 on the list, let's make sure to put some glasses on while we're reading this. It's going to be art history. Now, art history is going to come in ranking 624 out of 835 possible degrees on pay scale, which is what I'm using for this list. Now you know when you're starting out with art history as the least worst degree on the list that it's going to be pretty bad. Now, one thing that I'm going to say, and this goes for people that are watching this, if you're a trust fund baby, if you're someone who never has to worry about money ever again in your entire life, then hey, some of these degrees might be great for you. Your parents are probably going to know someone that'll give you an important sounding position and pay you an allowance. I mean, salary. So if that applies to you, then this video probably isn't for you, so don't pay attention to anything that I say. However, if you're someone who actually has to work for a living and contribute to society because you're in a position where you got bills and student loans to pay, then this video is going to be pretty good. Number nine on the list is going to be dramatic arts. It ranks 662 out of 835, and it's basically just a drama degree where you're going to perform on stage in front of an audience. Now, a lot of people get this degree because they think it'll help them become a famous Hollywood actor. Now, I did a video on a girl who was $118,000 in debt. Her name was Brittany, and she wanted to become the next Regina King. She's in a really bad position. You can check that video out if you want, but basically she wasn't able to get any good jobs and she had to work like three or four different jobs just to be able to pay the bills. Now, don't get me wrong. I have no problem with people trying to chase their dreams. I think that's great, and you should try to do it. Just do it in a smart way. Brittany's in a position where she's working multiple different jobs. She's selling off all of her old stuff, and she's not even touching the original principle of the loan. So my principal isn't going down. My debt isn't going down. I'm literally just paying the interest. Now, sure, that might be an extreme example, but many people who graduate with these degrees end up in similar situations. The truth is you're probably not going to become the next Halle Berry or Leonardo DiCaprio.  Neither of those actors got a drama degree. In fact, neither of them got a degree at all. If you want to break into a super competitive industry like that, spending four years of your life and going $40,000 in debt on average is not going to help you. In fact, it's probably going to hurt your chances. Alright, here we go. Starting to get good here, guys. Starting to get good. Number eight on the list is going to be fine arts. So the definition of fine arts as opposed to all the other different types of art is it's mostly going to be visual and its primary purpose is to be appreciated for its imaginative aesthetic or intellectual content. This is a very broad in general degree, obviously. It could apply to many different things from spaghetti art or other different forms of modern art. But with all joking aside, you know, I have no problem with art. I think it's a great thing. But from a personal finance perspective, all I'm saying is when it comes to going to college, spending four years of your life and all of that money, generally speaking, art degrees are not going to be worth it at all. Okay, so just think about this from a common sense perspective. Your goal is to be able to make a living from art. In order to do that, there's two general paths you can go down. You can either get hired by someone who will pay you a salary or you can become kind of an entrepreneur and do your own thing as an artist. If you choose to go the first route, the person who hires you probably isn't going to care at all about the degree that you got. All they care about is your skill and your portfolio. If you go the second route, you're kind of hiring yourself. And so the boss is basically the people that are buying your products. Now, I don't think anybody looks at a painting and thinks, wow, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. But you know what? Before I buy this, I need to make sure that the painter has a college degree. There are some skills out there where getting a degree just doesn't matter at all. And this is a perfect example. And it honestly just blows my mind how many different people fall for this. It's probably because of the fact that they're just so young and they don't know any better. Okay. Number seven is going to be media arts. This one is going to rank 673, and you might think that this is a degree where it has a little bit more practical purpose.  This is something that you might actually require a degree to get into, right? It makes sense because computers are relatively new and animation is new as well. Well, this one is actually worse when it comes to getting a college degree for a lot of the other types of art on the list. And the reason for that is because anything that you can do on a computer using technology, one, it's something that can be outsourced to other countries very easily who also have very talented artists. And two, it's something you can very easily learn on sites like Skillshare. And no, this is not a promotion. There's tons of courses on Skillshare and other different sites like teachable.com, et cetera, where these courses are really cheap and you can learn from some of the best artists in the entire world. So if you do get into something like this, you have to realize that you're going to be competing against people from other countries who have a lower cost of living and therefore they can do the same work for much cheaper. And second of all, you have to realize that anybody has access to this type of knowledge. And so you don't need to go to college in order to learn how to do it. All right, so this next one is one of the most popular hobbies and subjects that anybody could do in the entire world. It is going to be photography. So this one I actually know a lot about because one of my best friends owns a successful wedding photography business. His name is Sam Fawaz and he owns Sam Fawaz Photography in Las Vegas. So real quickly, Sam is an immigrant from Lebanon. He came to the United States, hardly knowing any English whatsoever. He told me that he initially learned how to speak English from learning different scenes from Borat. Then he basically got a normal stable job working as a pharmacy technician in a local independent pharmacy. And on the side, he started practicing his dream, which was wedding photography. This was his passion and his ultimate goal here in the US was to become a successful wedding photographer. Now after doing this for a few months on the side for free, he built up enough of a portfolio that people were willing to actually pay him for their photos. At this point, he started making a nice amount of side income in order to supplement the money that he was making from his job. He saved up enough money for him to move to a much better place for wedding photography at the time, which was Las Vegas. And that's where he met me. So at this point, he went full time as a wedding photographer and he was able to build up his business and become one of the top rated wedding photographers in the entire city. It was awesome as his friend to watch him go from nothing to a very successful business within a few years. He didn't go to college, didn't spend any money on expensive photography courses or anything like that. He bought a few cheap books and he watched free content which is online and then he just practiced, practiced, practiced and that's how he got better. And if you're an artist, I recommend taking this route instead because 99% of the time going to college, getting a college degree is not going to help you achieve your goals. If he had gone to college and gone deep into debt, chances are he would have had to work extra jobs in order to pay off that debt and then he wouldn't have been able to start the business on the side. Oh man, this next one. I don't have to put a mask on for this. It's starting to get bad. Number five on the list is going to be theater arts or theater art management. So this degree is similar to drama, but it has more to do with plays and how to run a theater. And it's not surprising that this one is even worse than drama because let's be honest, there's not that much money in this ancient industry. Now last year I went to Bart on the beach in Vancouver, Canada and I had a great time. We watched a Shakespeare play. Afterwards, I talked to some of the actors and I made sure to ask them, you know, since I own a YouTube channel, whether they got a college degree or not. Most of them said that they didn't get a degree at all or they did get one, but it had nothing to do with theater or drama. One said he started volunteering at the theater and then eventually he got some part-time gigs. He worked, you know, in the back, helped set things up and then eventually he was able to work himself up to a full-time position. Again, this is one of those skills where you absolutely do not need to get a college degree in order to break into this. You'd be much better off just getting a normal job and then practicing it on the side.  Number four on the list is going to be painting. Oh boy, I promise I don't have a problem. I'm not even going to share the statistics on any of these because they're just, they're really, really bad. 754 out of 835 possible degrees. I think this one should be obvious enough. If you want to make money as a painter, getting a degree is just not going to help you. What will help you is 10,000 hours of practice in order to become a master and then figuring out how you can make money from your skill. This will probably involve networking, being creative, probably having a little bit of an entrepreneurial spirit. Now I've gone to some of those wine and painting nights. I've seen people doing the street paintings as well where they'll paint something on the street and then sell it to people that are walking by. Those people are making a living doing painting. And those are a couple of different examples of how you can make a living with this and neither of those require you to have a degree in art. There wasn't one single wine and painting night where my friends and I or people that were at the painting event asked the instructor if they had a degree. Nobody cared about that. All we care is how good of a teacher they are and how good of an artist they are and how much fun we're gonna have. Okay man, this next one is pretty bad. Number three on the list is going to be culinary arts. So culinary arts is art that is all related to cooking and baking, not only just the taste of the food, but the presentation as well. It ranks 757 out of 835 possible degrees and you might think that this one might be a little bit more useful because, hey, you see a lot of restaurants out there, right? But in reality, this is one of the worst because most people don't really care all that much about fancy, you know, French dining presentation or anything like that. All they really care about is how good the food tastes and the service that they get. And even if they did care about the presentation, you can learn how to do that from a book or you can maybe take a class on it. You don't have to go to school for four years. Okay, it's just getting worse and worse. Next on the list is going to be art teacher education. Now I've talked about this one before, but education degrees unfortunately don't pay off very well, which they paid better. I think they should pay better, but that's besides the point. They don't. Now a normal education degree doesn't pay very well, but when you get even more specific with it, it gets even worse. This one ranks 782 out of 835 possible degrees. Now this one is art related. You would get this degree, I guess, to become an art teacher. But the thing is, is you could just get an education degree, not have to get an art teacher education degree, and you could still go into that same profession. And you'd be much more flexible if you decided to change your mind down the line. This is an example of a degree that's way too niche. It's way too specific. Getting an education degree already is specific enough. If you're getting the degree, you probably want to become a teacher. And so there's no reason to get any more specific than that. Okay, here we go. Number one on the list is going to be baking and pastry arts. This one ranks 829 out of 835 possible degrees. Now I enjoy baking myself. I've made some really amazing modern art in the past in order to celebrate my friend's birthdays, but all these degrees have one main problem that's in common. It's called supply and demand. And there's a ton of people that want to do this for living because, hey, it's cool. Who wouldn't want to decorate cakes and bake and, you know, make food for a living. But unfortunately, there's just not that many businesses out there or people that are willing to pay you a living salary for this. There's a lot of supply of people that would love to do this for a living, but there's not a lot of demand of people who are willing to pay for it. Now this is an example of that, but all of them have the same exact problem. So if you want to break into any of these fields, you've got to get creative with it and start thinking like an entrepreneur. Going to college, getting a formal education for four years, getting setback $40,000 in debt, none of these things are going to help you to achieve your goals 99% of the time. All right. So, you know, people tell me all the time I make these videos in order to troll people or I'm just being an a**hole or something like that. That's not the case at all. I make these videos in order to warn you guys about one of the biggest problems of our time, which is the student debt crisis. People are going out there, they're getting extremely expensive degrees, and then they're not able to get a job from those degrees. And these universities and these loan companies are just making a killing off of these people. I'm trying to help you guys to avoid that whole situation. And these universities will tell naive 18 year olds whatever they want to hear, not old enough to legally drink, but apparently you're old enough to go $40,000 in debt and make a decision that's going to affect the rest of your life. By the way, this totally wasn't alcohol guys. I don't want this video to get demonetized. This was just, it was apple juice.

Hey y'all, how are you guys doing? So this is going to be a realistic Reset Sunday now on Sundays is when I typically like to get things prepared and ready for the upcoming week That means planning up my calendars looking over the schedules at my job Also planning on any type of YouTube content and also making sure that my son is prepared for the upcoming week Those of you who don't know I live and what we live in the DFW area My husband is currently working in Houston, Texas. He will be there until June and he's been there since February So everything is falling on me. I'm very very busy. So I like to try to plan as much as possible So I'm gonna take you all alone. I've been up since 5 a.m. Not doing anything I really was relaxing in the bed But now it's 8 and I need to go ahead and start to prepare so a lot of this you're gonna see I'm gonna be doing some voice over. So come on y'all How are you guys? So here I am cleaning up a little bit because I do work from home and I am home most of the time It rarely gets very very messy there But there are some things that I like to do specifically on the weekend That is to do my floors do a little bit more deep cleaning But here I am just straightening up the this is supposed to be our informal diamond room But it is so small and our section was so big that this is just an area where we have extra stuff Cleaning up the kitchen a little bit now look this house is the first time I've ever had a gas stove in a house I absolutely love cooking on gas stove, but it is absolutely tedious to keep clean I make sure that I try to clean it up Directly when I'm done cleaning excuse me when I'm done cooking, but sometimes it doesn't happen So I'm gonna end up cleaning the stove this morning putting away some dishes. It's oh, yeah Like I stated, I just tried to clean as I go, but it got a little bit messier of this previous week Sorry girl.  No now. Okay. Let me get this other thing Just Just All right, so now it's laundry time and with my little family, this is three loads of laundry This is not bad in my opinion for I say this is almost two weeks of laundry and baby. I'm tired I've been up since 5 a.m. Granted. I've only been doing this for about two hours One of the things I like to do is the day before I like to look at the weather To pick out my son's uniforms, but baby the weather here in Texas has been all over the place It's going to be raining. I'm a little warm.  What do you call I can't think of it y'all put it in the comments Those are his clothes for the week All right, you guys so now it's time for my weekly planning This not only includes youtube content, but also just my monthly planning and work related and family related I have a lot going on this upcoming week doctors appointments. Um, so what I like to do with that lavender sheet That's a half sheet. I use the classic happy planner And I go ahead and I write down my to-do list for at least The month this particular list is for two months and then I try to Um Accomplish one of those items on the to-do list for that week that also includes items on my goals I'm very goal-oriented, but I spread out my goals for the years I can't I no longer I can't but I no longer do Focus on yearly goals my goals or for three to five years, baby. So yes So that's what I'm doing right now and I'll show you what it looks like once it's completed I will say I'm giving myself some mercy here because I've been so busy over the course of the past year or so So I'm trying to be you know a little bit graceful here. So this is what my weekly planner looks like and that's a half sheet again So in addition to my normal sunday routine, I'm also recording content for my channel So here I am just using some products and I'm going to be editing you're not going to see this But I'm also editing a couple of videos and loading up a couple of videos This particular sunday. I typically like to do this stuff on the week day when my child is at school So this is some of my meal prep I went ahead and I took all of this broccoli rinsed it out and it's ready to go And then I have some bell peppers To go and my rice and I have some chicken here. This is going to be curry chicken So I'm going to be making curry chicken strips with a little bit of bell peppers Half of the bell peppers are going to go in some rice going to make tomorrow And this is going to be enough food for me to carry me for three to four days for the week Okay, and I have I'm going to be making crunchy chicken tacos for today and a little bit for tomorrow All right, you guys So that is it for my sunday reset It is now the night time and it's time to go to bed jade be so sleep And that is it you guys Some things may change or my husband comes back in town Me need that I will probably meal prep a lot more This is just something I've been trying by myself to see how I like it and I love it So it's definitely something I would continue when he comes back But this is it This is how I stay on track and this is how I keep my household running as smoothly as possible Now there are some things that I didn't get a chance to do Like the floors I was too tired chow So I would definitely do the floors in the middle of the week. So that is it everyone. Thank you so much for watching Take care. Bye


So Amar has organized a day-long hackathon while a high schooler for 20 other high school kids and He did that day long and The kids successfully deployed into your Kubernetes apps to Amazon Cloud by the end of the day So he's not a rookie on the subject of Kubernetes or edge and talk to him afterward and you can verify that for yourself The agenda well we're gonna cover we're talking about home labs here And we're gonna cover why you do one at all how you'd go about doing one and then we've got a lot of it running in this Home lab, but we'll do a demo of a few things So why would we want to run a home lab well a great convenience of modern life is being able to access your things anywhere on any device And in some cases you can host these things by getting quote free storage from Google or Some other players, but it's fair to question the privacy and reliability of the services We'd have to do if we were to use these kind of free online cloud hosted services There's historical precedent for data breaches price increases and total service shutdowns even by the big players And many of these so-called free services are paid for by allowing the provider to mine your data for Ad placement and other purposes, but privacy and cost savings are not the only motivations for host self hosting software Let me ask you something When was the last time you got an opportunity to just have fun and play on that production system at work? My colleague William Lam said this well in a recent tweet as some of us get older Maybe we lose that sense of curiosity and become afraid to just try stuff out and break things The home lab is a great opportunity to learn and grow while having the joy of being a kid again Amar, why don't you take over? Oh, yeah, sure. Thank you for that intro Steve All right, so this slide. We've got the header WTF. I thought this was an edge conference For those unfamiliar WTF stands for welcome to fun Steve wrote that joke But the headline raises an important point Why are we talking about home labs at all in an edge conference? Well, there are tons of similarities between a home lab environment and what we might see in an edge deployment So as an example in an edge deployment you maintain your own hardware It's not a public cloud if you want to increase the amount of RAM You have to put more dims in if you want to increase the number of cores you have to change the CPU It's not just a dial on AWS, right? So the home lab is a great opportunity to learn and grow while also Giving you the freedom to maybe break things. Hopefully not too much, right? The slide here says that there's no 24-7 expert staff with resources to help you out But really the slide should say that you become the 24-7 expert staff yourself And maybe your family, you know When you break the plex media server deployment is going to turn to you and say hey, why is this not working? All right, so first I'd like to talk a little bit about some of the hardware you need to Kind of start your own home lab up At the most basic you need a secure network connection Which most of us have at our homes as well as some compute resources You'll also likely find some kind of shared storage Is very useful for backups as well as hosting stateful workloads And you can choose for the compute side of things either one big server or perhaps a Cluster of smaller and not class systems these not class devices can cost around five hundred dollars or so per node I think that's a little high, but You can probably get a little cheaper depending on where you look on the use market and so on and the option Steve runs is a Large back mount server and if you buy this used on eBay It could be comparable to that single knock in price But you can really get these things with a lot of specs to a point where they can run multiple Kubernetes clusters using virtual machines and With either of these options We say that we should you should consider using a Raspberry Pi as an IO gateway for reaching non IP based devices And we'll cover more why you might want to prefer a pie in an upcoming slide So first I'd just like to talk a little bit about that firewall router And this can just be based on software running on some commodity hardware So two great open-source options are pfSense and open OPN sense both of these require x86 CPUs, but if you have a computer with multiple network interfaces You can just load pfSense or OPN sense the hardware requirements are very low So you can use something low-power like Adam or Celeron and All you need is some kind of routing software that can support multiple subnets D2P server DNS V lines and so on right and Another great option is open WRT, which is a fantastic open-source software I've experimented with it a bit myself and it's just a way to supercharge your Existing wireless router that you probably already have in your home For storage options shared storage is useful a big part of this home lab is having shared files that are accessible anywhere so a Storage solution like open-media vol or to nas come into play here And these can turn a white box at any computer with some drives attached it into a host for NFS SMB S3 and other storage interfaces And then those storage interfaces can be consumed either by your apps directly or by Kubernetes through persistent volumes and Finally for compute options. I mean the compute is really kind of the core of everything, right? This is where your actual workloads your Kubernetes clusters your containers are going to be run and Steve is using an older rack-bound commercial server. I think we Yeah, we mentioned we could buy one of these for $200 or less Supporting multiple Xeon sockets up to 200 gigabytes of relatively cheap memory The only downside of these systems is really they're very loud and they're very large If any of you have dealt with you know, rack-bound hardware before So really would recommend only getting one of these if you have the space for them and something like a basement or a garage and If you do chose choose to go with that large server option you might want to consider using a hypervisor on top of that server because By doing things using VMs on top of the server You can run a multi-node Kubernetes installation and that gives you all the advantages of multi-node Kubernetes Including rolling updates and it's just fun to experiment with If you go with the with the cluster a smaller system route Raspberry Pi might look very attractive But do be warned if you've looked at pride Prices lately They are not good. They have Definitely been subject to a lot of supply chain issues. So especially for the larger more recent Models of Pi that have enough RAM to run Kubernetes. You're likely looking to pay a lot of money There are two options on here that are not listed and one of those is using an old laptop and The other is using an older desktop And I mentioned both of these because really, you know both nox and servers and all these like different compute options Are just computers at the end of the day and a lot of us probably have old laptops or Desktops that are lying around collecting dust, right? We don't use them anymore, but you can put Linux on them and You know connect them up to a network and use them to run workloads run a small Home lab installation that way All right, and finally to the software That we're running in this home lab. So I've thrown a bunch of these You know called for logos up on the slide. We've experimented with I think almost all of the software that's up on the slide today and This is what I should really emphasize here is that this is just a small subset of the total software That's available out there. I mean the kinds of You know self-hosted open-source software that you can get range from all kinds of use cases from home automation To infrastructure hosting the productivity To even just stuff like you know if you like cooking there are open source self-hostable recipe apps that you can put up on your Home lab and store all your recipes that way and so on So on our next slide here I'd like to give it back to Steve who is going to talk a little bit about some of the options we have For hosting all of this software So Amar mentioned these different types of apps and where you would prefer to land these apps Can depend on what the nature of them are how they're packaged and one size doesn't fit all in fact I've found that you'll generally end up running Some apps on physical hardware bare metal Others inside vms some on docker some in kubernetes and i'm going to go into How you decide an optimal location for these various things I'm going to race through these and try to get this done in minutes, but there's a lot of these slides here, so You want to use uh when when physical hardware access is required you should prefer to run either on bare metal with an os or bare metal inside docker and This is because piercing through hypervisor and kubernetes abstraction layers Uh Typical typically requires administrative costs and some can argue that it opens up security holes You have to run in privilege modes that are generally not recommended by these things so Bare metal is better and Doesn't matter whether it's in docker or not If a rapid restart after a power outage is important once again You would prefer to run on bare metal either in docker or not It just you don't want to wait to boot up a hypervisor boot up a kubernetes cluster And you'll typically find that you've got some services in the house that you want up very quickly because others depend on them You know if you put up an authentication source, for example your kubernetes cluster might depend on that Being an existence at the time it boots in order to work, right? So things that you need to get up very quickly Move move them on to the bare metal and it will help accomplish that When an app isn't even packaged as a container Obviously you can't use a container so that runs either On an os or an os in a vm. When do you see this kind of thing? Well, some things are designed to run as services or as device drivers Occasionally you can be on your bare metal hardware in my demo I'm on an old pi 3 Which is not a 64 bit arm and many open source projects do not package Or produce containers for those more obscure platforms So When would you prefer Other things You know a one gigabyte platform can still run Docker, but it's not going to run kubernetes So if you've got a small amount of resources, you're just not likely to be able to fit kubernetes onto it When the app was made to take advantage of horizontal scale out and you want to use that feature That's a circumstance when you definitely do want to use kubernetes Run it on kubernetes. It will save you effort and kubernetes was made exactly for this use case Um Likewise when an app is a complex and tier Composition of other apps, you know say a web front end with uh one or more database back ends kubernetes is made for this particularly when a helm package is available It's much easier to deploy and update that thing using a higher level packaging mechanism And it saves you time and effort. It helps you keep that thing Maintained and patched when your app needs or benefits from Enhanced features like secrets c i c d that you might get out of a tool like flocks service mesh policies of their ability These tend to be kubernetes related features sure with service mesh It is possible to run that in a bare VM, but It's a lot of hard work and kubernetes just makes that easier So I would lean that direction um When your physical host gets to the point where it has a high amount of resources meaning many cores and a lot of memory say 10 or 20 cores two sockets 100 gigs of ram or 200 gig I would favor running a hypervisor on top of that whether you run kubernetes or not You know if you went the other alternative of bare metal It implies you're running a single linux on something that gigantic And it might be the only thing you have you can't carve it up to run Multiple workloads if you have to patch or update that os take it from ubuntu 20 to 22 and something goes wrong Your whole home everything in there might go wrong if you carved it up into individual VMs You have atomic you have granularity of what you play around with You can even get on a big system like that the ability to simultaneously run Multiple kubernetes clusters and that can be a great learning experience or something for home grade productivity So at this point i'm going to demo a system with that same run direct attached i o On physical hardware, which in my case is going to be a raspberry pi 3 This is what this thing physically looks like this This is in my house right now in los angeles i'm I'm just going to not pray to the demo gods because it's worked for me all morning and I will all hope I get lucky But what this is is a very small pi with a couple of usb dongles One of them is a software defined radio the thing on the On the uh lower left for me That's a 30 software defined radio. It isn't quite what the telcos would use in a cell tower But these things are pretty versatile You can run things and i've experimented with this you have to buy more than one if you do all of these but I've managed to Listen to police radio in la over the thing I have managed to detect my car in the driveway because it actually will Read the tire pressure sensors and know when my car pulled in the driveway It's actually very It is very secure because You have to provably have those four exact tires show up in your driveway and one could argue that it's Much, you know, very hardcore authentication and finally the demo i'm going to do now Is running Effectively a home-based f a air traffic control system. I can't give the pilots orders, but I get to watch them all and What i'm running is this software stack it is the pie running An app that hosts a website showing all the air traffic in the los angeles area and In order to get that out to the internet So that uh, it's visible here in detroit. This has to be opened up on the internet One way that people used to do it the old school might be to take your home router open some ports out port forward them But there's risks there and there's some cool new technology out that you might not have heard of called cloud flare Argo tunnels you can get a free tier account from cloud flare and run two of these absolutely free no strings attached You do give up some of the advanced features related to authentication and logging, but It really actually works well and i'm running this open source air traffic control monitor system I'm running a cloud flare demon on that pie It's all very small the whole thing fits inside that one gig pie and i'm also running i'm not showing it in the demo A z-wave system on the other dongle that does my home automation using z-wave radio And it all fits in that pie you saw in the previous picture It's mounted outside in a nema box on an antenna map tv antenna mask masked and Let's go on and uh, just show that Bear with me a minute because i'm going to have to Open up a web browser and somehow drag it over to the other screen And just to prove that there's no smoke and mirrors going on here Before my session I gave access to this url to a la over there in the audience and she brought this thing up To prove that i'm not like just vpn into this thing or something so Let me see is that dragging over there good Um, I don't think that will help get it on the other screen Okay, did it go over there? Click okay, so Let me go over there. So this is literally live Los angeles air traffic I think it's obscured there, but it typically at this time of day is showing about 200 aircraft And it is tracking them all the way down to san diego and all the way over to las vegas It shows them a lot of them parked at the tarmac over at lax, but it also picks up the long beach airport the Orange county airport. It was rather surprising actually how well this thing worked Given that it's on a 30 buck Software defined radio dongle and amar if you can try to randomly pick a plane you can see that this even brings up I'll coach you move it over to the left Just press one and we'll hope you get lucky So this is going to go out and Fetch a actual picture of that aircraft that typically if you got a commercial one anyway Try a different one. You might have got a private plane that isn't in one of the databases Lower Just click one and I'll tell you if you got something Okay, you got you got the idea anyway, and then you have to ask yourself Um, you know, this is cool, but if I really had to remote manage something like this, you know We're trying to learn about real live device edge cases. What do you do for observability? And um, I want to try to get if you can steer If you can somehow just advance that we'll bring up the observability page That is also coming out of the pie Well, you won't be able to type. I actually went back and forth So if you can manage to advance uh in the order on that thing the right mouse click well Okay, I guess go up to the top and I'll tell you what to type So it's observability Dot descending cloud Dot com Slash graphs We're giving away the url But please don't open it because if everybody in the room did it This pri is literally hosting this website and it isn't it doesn't have enough memory to have 50 people bring this up at once But you can see here that these are metrics on the software defined radio Scroll up and we'll get to the metrics in the Linux operating system in that pie We'll see Keep going. We're still on the adsb Keep going. Okay stop So We have got cpu utilization. We've got memory utilization keep going. We'll get our temperatures um disc usage um Keep going disc IO Anyway, it's a pretty rich set of metrics completely unattended like you'd see at an edge site And this thing like I say is securely hosted if you look up at the top that actually is an https Certificate on this website and I didn't even have to put it there because The cloud flare tunnel is willing to take http Send it down the secure tunnel to cloud flare and then cloud flare puts a tls certificate on it that Is accepted. There's no messing around with let's encrypt no renewing let's encrypt And cloud flare I believe gives you their full Uh protection against denial of service attacks Nobody can even learn what your ip address is for your your home system So it's a pretty cool way to harden something you've got running at home and uh Like I say you can get two of these tunnels for free So let me move on to the second tunnel um, let me get back to the um The presentation here So the next demo is next cloud. So amara was talking about this as one of the apps This is effectively like a host your own version of the g drive It runs office apps that are sort of uh, there's a long history of this project They call it currently colabra, but it was based on libra office and you've got a Slide presenter app. You've got a word processor. You've got a spreadsheet And the storage behind this is hosted On your own server, but you can add an authentication database put your whole family on on that if you like and Effectively you're like running your own g suite um So what's going on here is this is an ntr app. It has a web front end Uh with a maria db back end and for a cache it uses redis A helm chart an official one is available from the next cloud project itself So deployment to kubernetes is pretty easy You download the well the helm chart and if you're familiar with helm you Override whatever you want the values file.  I've got this running In yet another browser and I've got to find it here Let me try to drag this one over there now Oh, by the way, while i'm doing this alex and you verify you were able to get that in the audience too, right that There wasn't smoke and mirrors here So this is next cloud. I am going to skip the part i'm we're I don't want to encroach on the next speaker and maybe have some time for q&a But this shows you what it looks like if you go up to that icon at the top that looks like a file folder You can create new files. You can create a slide deck An office document whatever you want Um, and there are plugin apps for this in all kinds of categories. So they have hosted this By the way, they have a phone version of this for android and ios So that if you put this server on the air you can even get to your stuff from a mobile device and once again It's a it's a tool that you could host in your own home lab Um, if you're going to start putting a lot of stuff on here, it might You know, you've you've got to host the storage that backs this thing up But even on a small scale, this is potentially quite useful and maybe gets you back some privacy And you might learn a lot just getting in this on the air even if ultimately you prefer to use one of the commercial services so Amar do you want to bring this home then on the resources? Sure All right. So, yeah, the first resource listed is my blog. So that's from when I was a summer intern at vmware There I deployed a bunch of these services in a kubernetes home lab And kind of blog the entire process of at homelab.acgandhi.com. So feel free to check that out Serve the home is a great youtube channel that we've linked up here dbtech another youtube channel kates at home is a great repository github repository of Helm charts for a lot of useful software that you might like to run in a home lab But the organizers have recently deprecated that repository though I believe it does have a new home at least for some of the helm charts And it's still a great resource for the stuff that's up there in archive now and finally We've got bitnami's helm charts and kubaps listed here They've got a lot of helm charts, especially for just backend services, you know, you want a database that sort of thing odds our bitnami has it anyways, thank you for Listening to our presentation, and we hope that you try out some of the stuff in a home lab yourselves So Amar did mention that he was a summer intern at vmware I highly recommend him But I was unable to keep him on as a year-round intern If any of you are working for companies that potentially could take on a year-round college intern I think Amar Might appreciate a landing spot. So go chat with him out in the hallway at the next break if That's something that maybe we can get to work out Um, anybody got any questions or how much time do we have before the next speaker is there five minutes? Yeah, yeah Did you use what? k3s This one is using actually i'm running two disc grows simultaneously I didn't mention what this hardware is, but it's an old ancient Dale r7 10 that was a server that I think first shipped in 2009, but they kept it in production maybe five years And I managed to get this thing Stripped for 99 bucks But you know they sell it to you typically by removing the discs, but it's quite large It has 100 gig and I actually wanted to learn about the amazon aws eks anywhere distro So i'm running a A production grade meaning I use the aw the eks anywhere thing labeled production and it's running on there And then at the same time i'm running a second kubernetes cluster which just happened to be The one that I used the time before and it is a Tanzu kubernetes. I happen to work for vmware. So that's the explanation there I have run rancher on it in the past and I have run microkates And i'm just kind of the curious type so that when something new comes out I use my home lab to play around with it to shop and compare At a break if anybody wants to learn about the experience Of eks anywhere chat me up because I can give you some tips on that some of the things in the docs Let's just say they have room for improvement But once you get it running it seems to be a pretty nice kubernetes distro and So not running k3s at the current time, but it could be and I see no reason why somebody who wanted to couldn't run k3s in their home lab Let's see i'll say a question. Yeah Any other questions So I currently have a home lab, but that's running on raid Which is a commercially available software that kind of manages all of this for you Would you recommend switching? Well, if what you've got now works, why would you switch other than wanting to learn it?  For example Back up your workloads and restore them on a completely different kubernetes distro and theoretically that works But yeah, you have an opportunity to prove that it works The other thing you can do if you didn't want to do the backup This is one of the reasons for running that storage appliance if you used proper persistent volumes You should be able to detach those from one distro and actually remount them in another one and Uh If you know what you're doing there there are ways that could go wrong But it is possible to move your per your stateful apps over any non-stateful apps You might as well just redeploy them Okay, if there's no other questions or if you just wanted to do it privately Uh, I'll be here all day including the reception afterward. We can talk about other apps We've done a lot more than what you We've shown here You know, you can play music including hosting it to play from your cell phone in your car while you're driving around There is just an awful lot you can do here And uh, kind of the home automation thing which we didn't show Um, I did mention the pie runs z-wave, but there's something called home assistant You can use to automate your whole house and it's pretty cool stuff if you're a techie Thank you


Where is the grade book? Each course in Moodle has its own grade book, which you can access by going to the grades link in the navigation drawer. By default, students see this link as well, and this is where they can access their course grades. Here's an example grade book in a different course. Depending on your administrator's settings, you might see the various elements of the grade book as tabs across the screen or as a drop-down menu or both. The first screen is the grader report, where you can see the students you have and graded activities. Note that if you have a lot of students and graded activities, then as you scroll across, you can still see the students' names, and as you scroll up and down, you can still see the titles of the graded activities. Grade history will allow you to see the different grades and when they were modified and by whom. The single view tab or the pencil icon by the student's name take you to the single view, which allows you to focus on one particular student or one particular grade item. The user report or the icon here next to the student's name takes you to the individual grades of one student, and this is what a student sees when they click the grades link in the nav drawer. In setup, you can add new grade items or edit existing ones and decide on your preferences and the course grade settings. And in scales, you can add a new scale. Custom scales are what the teacher has added to the course and standard scales are what an administrator has added for everyone. So you the teacher can add a new course scale or custom scale by clicking the add a new scale button and giving it a name and then adding the items with the lowest first. Then it's available to use in your course, for instance in assignments. You can also import grades that you have offline as easily as pasting from a spreadsheet and you can export them as different formats if you want to print them off for instance. The grade book is very powerful in Moodle and we've only been able to see a few of its features but hopefully this has given you an idea of what it can do for you as a teacher in your course.


What's going on everybody? It's your man Kory and as you can see today I didn't have my fancy intro. I don't even have my white sheet behind me and the reason being is that I went on vacation not too long ago and before I went I accidentally deleted a bunch of videos that I planned to post. So in the meantime while me and my team work on rectifying my mistake I decide to shoot something anyway to give you guys because I know you haven't seen my face in a while. I know it's been a minute since I dropped something on the channel so let's get into the topic for today. Now what I want to talk with you about is the story of this influencer that's been going around. I know you've heard it and if you haven't heard this story yet both of your seatbelts because it's crazy but it's definitely a learning situation for all of you and luckily one that you didn't have to learn from from your own accord right. So what am I talking about right? So there's this teenage influencer her name is Ari and she has a pretty good following. She has a little over 2 million followers on Instagram. Now Ari was gearing up to release her merch you know she went through the whole nine yards she had models and photographers and makeup artists the whole nine yards the whole shebang. Now once it came time for Ari to put her product out or actually once Ari actually put her product out she ran into a problem and that problem was that she was only able to move 36 or 37 units of her merch and that sounds crazy right? A little over 2 million followers and only able to sell a little over 30 of her merchandise of her products and as crazy as it is as sad as it is like I said it really is a learning situation that thankfully for you you don't have to learn from your own accord. So let's kind of dive into those lessons and what exactly you should be taking away from her situation. And the first lesson is that numbers aren't everything I said is all the time it's not about how big the number is but it's about how engaging are the people in those numbers and how much influence do you actually have over those people right? So because of social media we tend to gauge influence by how many followers that somebody have right? It's because Instagram and all these platforms display our numbers like high scores so when we see someone with a really large following or a really large number on their account we tend to assume that that person has influence and that's not always the case. Influence is actually being able to move those people to an action so in her case that action would be to go and buy her merch. In your case the case of an artist that action may be to go watch your video or go listen to your song or go buy your merch or go buy a ticket to your show. So it's not about how many people are actively following you but how many of those people do you actually have influence over or engage with enough to the point where they'll actually do what you tell them to do. So when you look at these artists and you see oh this artist has 100,000 followers he has half a million or he has 10,000 or whatever that's not any real indication because you have to think about why those people dare. Some people come and follow you because they like the way you look. Some people come and follow you because they like your aesthetic. Some people follow you because they like this one antique that you did one time on a viral video but it doesn't mean that necessarily care about the things that you're going to push or that you're trying to sell to them and in the end that means you don't have any real influence over that section of your audience. They almost don't count in a sense. And the second lesson I want you to learn from this is that you actually have to push and promote and market whatever you're trying to sell no matter how big you are. Now I didn't follow her not really into I found out about this story but just digging through her profile it seems like she only had one maybe two posts about the product when it came out. I don't know if she did any stories swipe ups or anything like that but I do know that she wasn't running getting Facebook or Instagram ads. I know that she wasn't really doing anything to increase the visibility of it outside of just posting it that one or two times to her audience and then I think she said she sent the email out to some of her supporters and you know basically told them to go check it out. And that's a common thing that a lot of people tend to think. They tend to think that once they get this really large audience or you know this significant audience that all they have to do is post about it one time and people are going to flock to it and everything's going to be sweet and dandy and all that. And that's not true. You still have to go through the same steps of pushing and promoting something just like you would if you only had 10 followers the thing that you're doing is just scaling it and amplifying it to the point to reach these mass amounts of people that you now have access to just because you're able to post something and you know hopefully 20, 30, 40,000 people see it doesn't mean that one post is going to be enough.  And I see this all the time where artists, you guys have created a merch product, you'll drop a new song, you'll post about it once, maybe post about it again, maybe you know run an ad for a week and then you stop and you wonder why people aren't going to check it out. No, marketing is not a one-time thing. It is an ongoing process. It is a process that has to be developed and tweaked along the way as you see things that are working and that are not working. But literally the worst thing that you can do is nothing at all and the next to worst thing that you can do is only do something one time. I promise you like you have to keep doing it. So those are just two quick lessons that I kind of got her whole situation. I'm hoping she learns from this situation. It's definitely a tough lesson to learn as a teenage influencer, you know, as someone who probably has all these millions of people or has had all these hundreds of thousands of people watching you. I know that's an ego, a big hurt to her ego to kind of see that thing happening. But like I said, this is something that all of you will have to deal with if you try to pretty much recreate the exact same thing that she was doing. And just to kind of get off on a little tangent, I seen a couple of comments that kind of made sense where someone said that maybe her followers were fake. And I did a quick audit on her Instagram. I'm using this one tool called IG audit. And it said that at least a little more than a million of her followers were real, meaning that she still had a million people that were potential leads that were potential clients or customers of her products. So I kind of ruled that one out. And the other comment I saw that made sense was that she's a teenager. A lot of her fans are children and other teams who don't necessarily have the money to buy merchandise and whose parents may not give them money to buy the merchandise because they're not fans of her, you know, their children are. And that kind of made sense. I kind of understood that. But that one ties back into once again, knowing your audience, knowing what part of your audience is engaged enough, or you actually have some type of influence over to get them to move to do that. And that also ties into once again, the length of your marketing campaign. Because even if we look at it that way, let's say her fan is 14 and that 14 year old does not have $35 right in the buy a t-shirt. If you keep pushing it in front of that teenager enough, eventually they may be able to convince their parents to give them the money, or they may even save up their own money to get it because you've been in their face for such a long time that they all they can think about is how you keep pushing this product and how they want it. So those are pretty much the two lessons that I want you guys to take away from this is one numbers aren't everything influences. Make sure you actually have influence over your numbers. And secondly, plan to promote plan to market, plan to implement a strategy for a long period of time. Don't just give it two weeks and then give up and move on to something else. And I love to hear you guys thoughts in a whole situation. Drop your comments down below. Let's talk about it. I want to know what you guys think about Ari and her entire situation. Outside that man shot to my guy Big Bang Reeves, man. He sent me a t-shirt. If you guys ever want to send me some merch, I'm always down to take some free clothes. Trust me. Just hit me on Instagram. As always guys, if you feel like you learned anything today, please like and share this video. Hit those post notifications as well as I wouldn't want you guys to miss anything. Once again, my name is Kory and I'll see y'all once I fix these videos. All right. Bye
