Thanks all for coming, for joining. Going to get through the risk warning screen here, we're seeing this first page. And there we are. Not as much in the way of economic data this week, but still a big one on Wednesday. It's going to be the FOMC, the Federal Reserve Minutes. And I think that's going to be a big driver of what happened this week. Last week we saw some pretty key economic data highlighted in my note here in the insights. You can see that, if I can just find the note here, that retail sales, producer price inflation, industrial production, consumer sentiment, all missed expectations last week in US economic data. So some of the things I was mentioning in that note there is that, we've had that missed data, how is the Fed looking at things? Now these minutes are about two weeks old, and since then, including that data I just mentioned, we've seen more weakening data. But the big worry here is that the Fed looks still too towards tightening in the next few meetings, despite this apparent economic growth slowdown in the US. Now that's the bigger theme in markets, and that's what's been pushing currencies around, and that to a large extent has been explaining what's been happening in bond and stock markets in Europe. We've seen a strengthening of the euro, and we can have a look at that chart right here. Partly because of better economic data in Europe, but just partly because of this weakening in US data, and that divergence between the expansion in the US and the contraction in Europe is now very much tightened for the time being. Europe, as it stands right now, looks to have grown at a faster pace than the US and the UK for the first quarter. So this whole divergence trade of the Fed looking to tighten rates before the ECB, even though it still remains the case, it's just less so the case right now than that gap between when the two banks moves arguably as narrowed. It's entirely possible that the Fed reserve won't tighten interest rates this year, if the current data trends persist. Now that being said, we've had quite a good run up in the euro here, and I think that we're running into a distinct kind of risk area because this is the daily chart and you can see we've had many more updates outpacing. There's just a small number of down days that we've had. We've run into this 114-50 barrier here, which is what capital these gains. I think there's still a possibility of a push-up to 115, but I think that's going to be a distinct trouble area. If you look on the weekly chart, it's a bit more apparent why. Here's that high that I was highlighting, which had a bunch of daily highs, but that one problem, weekly high, and then this is this kind of peak that we had back at the start of February. That's where the price kind of had its last leg that broke down, and that's where it's corrected back to. My feeling is that perhaps we're just a bit overdone in the euro at this point, and there are some slight signs not really occurring yet, but this depends on your own tolerance for risk and how you approach the trend in the market. Some may feel that it's worth still trading in the direction of this daily trend, but just knowledgeable of the fact that we're running into this kind of headwind type area, and aware of the fact that the trade may not run into new highs, and so perhaps a bit more keen to cut losses quicker than you might otherwise be. That's one approach. Another approach is, well, let's just get through this difficult area, which to me is arguably capped around 15-30, probably right at the top of it, but 115 is the key level. Wait for us to push through there, then feel a bit more confident about the trend resuming. It depends on how you typically approach things, but I think the trend is not necessarily over, but it's reaching a bit of a headwind here, and so perhaps how much legs this rally has in the euro, but not just the euro, we flip over to the pound as well. How much legs these rallies may rest on the Fed minutes this week, which get released late Wednesday around 7 p.m. in the U.K. But again, if we're just looking at this pound here, it's obviously had a fantastic run. It's obviously held back somewhat by concerns over the election. We had an election result that points to a bit more certainty in terms of the U.K. economy, at least that's the perception anyway, and so that's coupled with this weakness in the U.S. and some comparatively strong economic data that we saw last week. The employment picture looks solid still, and we saw a pickup in wages, so some reasons to be strong in the pound and obviously that difference between the pound, the difference between the U.K. economy and the U.S. economy is very negligible at this point in terms of which one is outpacing the other, but still the dollar is the world reserve currency, so the pound is subject to that, and some of the other divergences out there, namely between Europe and Japan, which is obviously a lot more stark. But again, if we look at this weekly chart here, a really solid run from the pound, and we're coming just shy of this 50% retracement mark, which, you know, it's a zone. We know that typically we don't bang straight on it. That's right around 159, we've hit 158, which corresponds with this peak here of this, you know, pretty much the exact peak of what I deemed to be this sort of supply zone where we had a peak and then we broke lower through those lows. And keep in mind we are below the 55-week moving average, so it's not to say we're going to go down and necessarily make new lows, but we're definitely in an area that risks a correction. Now, a couple of areas of potential support would be this 155.50, which is this peak from, I think it's actually the 26th of Feb on the daily chart, and then down here, which you can see more clearly on the daily chart, which is basically that sort of tweezer top that we broke through could be a support on the way down, which is at 155, just this beast. So this to me has some merit, this declining wedge pattern that we saw. So on one side it could suggest that we've got a bit more upside eventually, but it could all suggest that maybe even the price corrects beneath is high and makes a steeper correction down towards maybe 153 around where this declining trend line is for sort of like a break, a retest and a move again. I'm probably not going to cover Dolly Yen, I mean, I'll bring up the chart, but there's not a lot going on here. We're in this very tight range. For the moment it's actually pretty great trading for buying and selling the top of this range, but obviously the range has to break at some point, and that's when you're going to face losing trade if you're buying and selling the bottom top of the range, but for those who've been doing that, fantastic. All the trends, really not too good. It's all part of this broader range of 116 to 122 as well. Side of the currency front. I normally cover equities first here, but I think some of the more important moves at the moment are actually outside of equities. Not to mention the record high in the S&P 500, we'll get to that. Just having a look at gold here. I pointed to this potential breakout last week, and it looks like we could be in the midst of a breakout of this key. It's basically the 1 to 20 number, but it's a bit more specific than that. You say 1, 2, 3, I would say is that level specifically been hit about four times, and as of today, we look like we could get another close. Friday was pretty negligible, but according to our chart, it's pretty much closed above it. So then, if you're taking this, which a while back I highlighted as an inverse head and shoulders pattern, we've got some false breakouts down here, and probably shook a lot of people out of that possible trade, but now we're back up again. There's a bit of a dubious one, a pretty shaky left shoulder, a pretty extended right shoulder, but nevertheless, this is still quite a key area, but if you do take that height there and extend it beyond, it takes you quite nicely to this January peak. So we could be looking at 1,300 again in gold if this breakout has any legs. We've also got a declining RSI trend line here for what it's worth that again suggests that we could have a bit of a game changer in gold. When you're trading gold, always good to have a look at what Silver's doing, because if it's confirming the break, then it shows them it could be a bit more reliability in the breakout, and Silver arguably is an even more notable break than gold. This is something I highlighted in the video snapshot at the tail end of last week, and it's followed through so far. You can see this was quite a long-standing declining trend line that a lot of people all have had on their charts, because it's fairly obvious, and it kind of forms part of a sort of triangle pattern with arguably 1550 as a base. So if you think about what's really been happening here, is that sellers have been just failing to push price below 1550, or at least close it below since the beginning of the year, and now we've actually managed to overcome this declining area of where the seller's been coming in. So we're now up into this, what has been a sort of supply zone, but I would say given the fact that we got very close to it before and failed, this time I think there's a bit more chance that we actually push up to the top of it, and certainly 1850 will be a big barrier, but to me if this pattern has any weight, which you could maybe take 1550 to the height of the triangle here, that carries you up about 20% from the breakout. So these objectives don't always work, but that was something I highlighted in the snapshot video from last week, so if you haven't watched that already, worth a quick watch. Again, but what fundamentally would trigger this, I think it's already started to happen this trade, whether it actually completes, but again a lot comes down to the Fed in their minutes this week. Now flipping over to equities, start with UK markets, and that being the case, put a little note on here just to kind of help us out here. This is some of the kind of key data points I'm looking at this week. So when we're talking about the UK, inflation data tomorrow will certainly be important. We had the Bank of England last week suggesting that they expect to see deflation in the UK, so there is an outside chance, not even outside, distinct possibility that we'll see deflation for the first time in recorded UK history at maybe minus 0.1%. Although that risk has been reduced somewhat because oil prices have bounced, but there could be some sort of residual effects that's translated into the cost of production and things, so the wider inflation measure could still drop in a sort of delayed effect. So that would be on the face of it, a bit of a negative for the pound, and again, perhaps another reason that that 158 level could suffer. Generally speaking, the rule of thumb for equities at the moment though is that anything that points to lower interest rates for longer deemed to be positive. So in the UK 100, we've basically come below these moving averages, so not such a definite uptrend at this point by any stretch. It's already been a slow progress uptrend with each peak slowly not making as much progress beyond the previous. This is a rising wedge pattern which is bearish. It doesn't necessarily mean we've reached the top of it yet. We could still test the top of the pattern again, but there was this trend line which has been sort of dubiously broken. We're sort of retesting from the underside right now and it's work, you know, feasibly coming into play, which could point to a move back down to test this spike low. But I think this is probably the main line that we'd be looking at at the moment. So a break below there is what's needed to really kind of change the sentiment on the UK 100. And should inflation start to pick up? Arguably that's, you know, that's negative for the index. If inflation really dips down, it's not great for the economy, but arguably means lower rates are longer for the UK. So that could, you know, net the benefit for the UK 100 here. Now, if I just minimise this again, a couple of earnings to be to note for this week, marks and expenses on Wednesday, raw mail on Thursday. Then the other big UK announcement is UK retail sales on Thursday. Jumping over to US indices, so I just mentioned obviously probably aware that we finished on a record high according to the cash index last week. According to our charts, you know, it's derived from futures prices. We didn't really push through that intraday peak. And we're coming off from there at the moment. So this is one where, you know, the longer term trend is obviously higher. If we, you know, remind ourselves, look at this weekly chart, you know, not much to line this as an uptrend. You know, we're well above the 21 week moving average and the 55 and above this rising trend line, which has had three odd touches. So longer term uptrend. So you've got to be careful when getting bearish at these kind of levels. You know, people have been trying to short this market all the way up, you know, in trouble. But nonetheless, on the shorter term in these kind of range trading environments, you've got to be aware of the fact that a lot of the time the range maintains. So the probabilities are with the range maintaining and selling back into the range. Obviously at some point that doesn't work. We had a number of tests so far. So, you know, if you are a believer that this long term uptrend is going to resume, there's no particular reason to believe it shouldn't, then actually you're looking for opportunities. By the bottom of the range, obviously they're lower risk. But, you know, if you think that, maybe that action from Thursday last week was quite strong. You know, we could even just go as far as 2110 before, you know, we actually see that dip and break out just a test of that previous high, which was what we broke through on Thursday. Or we could maybe get a dip into these moving averages perhaps down to the bottom in this kind of range which has been holding quite well at 2070. So, not a certain uptrend at this point. You know, if you're looking to buy dips, probably the better strategy at this point is to wait for the more defined breakout and then wait for a dip from there. At the moment, this is not really dip buying territory in my book. It's range territory, which you want to be buying and selling on the top of the range. Looks very, very similar with the US 30. You know, we could be looking at the same market almost here. Touch of that high, coming off it. Now, that's potentially a bit more interesting. We had a, you know, I mean, what you could argue to be a bit more weakness and that we haven't actually retested the peaks. But we did get the break of this declining trend line. So potentially just a dip down to this breakout area here which corresponds with the 21-day moving average. If this trend breakout in the S&P and the US 30 soon continue, then we've actually got a bit more value on the Nasdaq. I think while we're above this rising trend line, we're still in business on the Nasdaq for the uptrend. And so, you know, we don't know if it's going to hold, but probabilities suggest it should. Germany 30 here, we've basically got this situation where these trend lines are really determining what's happening. We've got this declining rising trend line through the peaks, which we pretty much came off. Now, we haven't quite tested it perfectly. You can see that's broadly speaking what's kind of defining capping the upside. And there's a longer term rising trend line here, which is capping the downside. So turning into a bit of a breakout trade. Again, the longer term trend is up. And also looking at these two longer wicks, I would suggest that still, you know, we've got the 21-week moving average we've just bounced off. So a nice way to be a bit more conservative here is we do have this declining trend line. So if you're not quite sure if this is the end of the correction, there's a bit more of a technical confirmation to a break of that trend line, and then you're a bit more positive about the fact that we're going to move higher again. But yeah, one of those, well, obviously, we've failed to, you can see here the kind of progression of lows. Made this low, bounced up, okay, fair enough. Made a new low, but weren't able to really close below this low here. Came up again, didn't make a new high, but came back down. And now this is the low we've got our eyes on. Weren't even able to kind of spike through it. So a gradually sort of, you know, a bit of kind of a weakening of this trend. So it could certainly consolidate and break down again, but suggest that perhaps we're putting a bit of a base in. And then just, you know, you need that confirmation of the breakthrough here to really know it's taking place. But, you know, if you're looking for value, then you buy within the consolidation just at higher risk. Any questions at all? Obviously, you know, five and three, if there's some particular levels or markets that you're following that I haven't touched on yet, then, you know, feel free to send a message through. And I'm happy to cover those. But I think the other big one that we didn't quite touch yet, we looked at golden silver, which kind of breaking out, but while they are looking higher today, there's a bit more downside risk, arguably, to the oil markets. So let's have a look at the longer term prospect here. Now, you can see, basically, put in what you could quite comfortably say is a sort of double bottom and broken out from in WTI. So if you are using a sort of double bottom and take the conservative low here, go up to the neckline and then look for an area of possible objective from the breakout and this consolidation higher, then we're actually looking at more like 60, 65 in WTI. And just above that is this 38.2, which in a, again, another commodity snapshot video, I mentioned there's 67, which would be another possible objective here since 23.6 capped us for a little while, moved above that. And we have a couple of areas that 55 to 57 area could still be on. But what's happening here is that we've had this change whereby we started to see U.S. inventories and the weekly data decline. Now, that had been speculated on and that was largely the reason for this rally. And now what we've seen recently is, on the last couple of Wednesdays, we've actually seen a spell off on that, what is actually quite positive data in a sort of buy the room or sell the news kind of situation where you're buying into the release, showing a decline in U.S. production. So, you know, decline in production, decline in supply, that supply demand imbalance, which has been holding at all prices down, is lifted slightly. So, this is not necessarily to say we're heading up to $100 per hour oil again, the whole thing's completely changed. The U.S. still are producing oil and the Middle East are producing as much as they can to maintain market share. So, there's going to be limits to how far this can go, but obviously it's a better situation now than the U.S. just continually increasing the amount of production and increasing the global supply of oil. So, I think that's a good point. The U.S. just continually increasing the amount of production and increasing the global supply of oil. But for the moment we've got a bit of a cap here, but if we're taking those objectives for any kind of meaning, then we've still perhaps got a bit of room to $65. Again, obviously all these commodities are dollar denominated, so the breakout may again rest on the Fed on the FMC minutes. I mean, I think these minutes are probably going to be pretty neutral. The statement was very hedged, so they reduced the economic outlook, but they still left a rate hike as early as June on the table, saying that they're going to be data-dependent going forward. So really at any of these meetings, probably the meetings that involve a press conference, there could be a rate hike. And that's the threat here. And that's the possible reason for commodities to break higher. But my opinion is that probably there's going to be a lot of talk about the kind of economic concerns and maybe that on edge be taken as a sort of neutral to dovish and not necessarily an outright dovish saying that we're not going to high-grade this year or anything that would create a major rally in equities and a drop in the dollar, but enough to be not such a barrier and that we can look through it for now. So that was what was that WTI I was looking at. Let's just have a quick look at Brent here. Brent, similar picture in terms of we've got this kind of bit of a consolidation happening. Same thing on these last two Wednesdays is when we send the sell-off and then another run-up. So we cured based on the previous pattern expect a bit of a jump tomorrow and then the sell-off on Wednesday if that same pattern keeps happening. RSI pattern to note here is that we have seen a dip through the RSI trend line, but we're still holding this 21-day moving average. So again, you'll notice that with the currencies and with the commodities, a longer-term sell-off that we've had to deal with and now we're sort of breaking higher. So it's one of those where you're not, you're still beneath this 55-week moving average on a lot of these like the pound, the euro, gold, Brent, all of these, but we're getting a bit of a run-high at the moment. So it's one of those where the trend is higher in the short-term and it's generally for short-term trading the better trend to be aware of but you've just got to be aware that you haven't got the support of the longer-term averages and the overall longer-term trend could still be down. Is there anything? Well, I guess what I haven't really mentioned, which I will in the last couple of minutes here, is just that we've got, so I mentioned the Fed Minutes, which is going to be the big one, but we do have minutes from the Bank of England on Wednesday and some notes from the ECB on Thursday. So now we did have the Bank of England inflation report quite recently, so that's really arguably a bit more current than these Bank of England minutes, but nevertheless either are going to be a bolster or a headwind to the British pound that are definitely important. I think that's about it. I think I've said all we need to know. I hope that was useful and good luck with trading, but I think this is Jasper Laws signing off. Thanks all. Have a good one.


How's going everybody this is the number block for the Mets Yankees reds and Cubs in definitive picker team Number eight, so we got ten participants and we got ten numbers somewhere Zero through nine remember zero gets any redemptions after four times one two three and four We got Matt down to Jamie Four times on numbers one two three and four Nine down to four So you go Matt nine Chad three Matt five and two Ryan zero Sam six Matt eight Chad seven Matt one Jamie four So there you go. I'm coming up next the break


UFC 273. It's a big one. Let's start off with the main event Alexander Volkanovsky versus Chan Sung Jung the Korean zombie Volkanovsky a minus 800 favorite and the Korean zombie plus 520 Brian. Who do you have in why? Now if we remember Korean zombies are a replacement because Max Holloway was supposed to get his third opportunity here. That didn't happen. He had to pull out due to injury but you can't not go with Alexander Volkanovsky here. I'm going with him and I'm going on points. I think he's going to win by decision. Korean zombies tough. We know that he could take a punch. He could take a lot of hits and he lasted five rounds with Brian Ortega as we saw recently. He hasn't been knocked out in a while. I think the last time was against Yair Rodríguez which we all remember was one of the best elbows you've ever seen but Alexander Volkanovsky. He's truly a fighter fighter somebody who is very dominant wherever you put him. He rarely loses rounds and I think that he is going to decision this way to victory. He's just going to keep Korean zombie grounded and be able to you know do what he wants for most of the fight. So I'm going with Volkanovsky and I'm going on points. I got to agree with you right there on going with Volkanovsky. I know he's the favorite but the Korean zombie you know that you can't sleep on his power. He's got good countershots. He is the underdog in this fight and you got to watch out for that nasty uppercut but his power is real and as you know you cannot take that lightly but like you said he takes a lot of hits and you talked about Brian Ortega. I thought he got destroyed by Brian Ortega and that's the thing Volkanovsky is the champ for a reason and I thought he destroyed Brian Ortega. So that's why I got a role with Volkanovsky. I think he works around the jab really well. He's got really good stamina. The dude does not get tired. I think he's going to start chopping away at the legs and I actually have Volkanovsky by stoppage and if you bet on the TKO it's a plus 240. So that's what I'm going to go with. I got Volkanovsky winning by TKO and I think it's been a minute since he has gone one. I believe it was like Chad Mendes back in 2018 but that's a bet that I'm ready to take. So let's move on to the co-main event and this one is just as good as the main event. It could be a main event on another card Aldermaine Sterling and Pieter Jan to the first one of course how it ended controversial but Brian who do you have and why Sterling is a plus 360 and Pieter Jan minus 500. I know a lot of people are going to go on here especially after the illegal knee that's one of his only losses and he barely has losses in the UFC and if you bypass that loss he hasn't really lost since 2016 and that was a split decision. So he's almost undefeated as the point. Now I kind of want to go with Aldermaine Sterling here because I just think he's going to surprise some people. I think so many people are going to be backing up Jan here and he's a favorite for you you know good reason even though he's an interim champion and they're trying to unify the pan and weight titles here. Aldermaine Sterling is 23 he hasn't fought in over a year but he had five straight wins before that he's been on a great run before that five fight win streak he was two and three and I think that Aldermaine Sterling is going to come in and get the submission. I'm going with the submission that plus 850. I actually think he's going to surprise some people. Maybe it's a little New York bias for me because he's from Long Island and I'm from Queens but I'm going with Aldermaine Sterling here to shock the world as we've seen some times in the UFC. I like that sleeper bet but Sterling to me in that first fight he was out striking Jan which is pretty crazy because when you think about Jan he's the better striker but he's also just I think technically better than Sterling and you look at Sterling he was trying to take down Jan along the last fight he wasn't able to he works hard for everything but Jan I think his boxing is solid I love my boxing he throws some really good combos. I think he's going to out box Sterling he's got good head movement as we kind of mentioned earlier you know Sterling he wasn't able to get him to the ground easily and Jan is the better striker to me he's the better technician he throws more volume punches. I'm actually going to go with Jan by decision and if you take him on points it's plus 125. I think this one is going to be an absolute banger and of course if you're going to be making your bets make them on Fandall sports book and best of luck and if you're going to bet do it responsibly.

Hey everybody, welcome back to Lynxcasts. I'm your host Matt and I'm Tyler So this is the last episode of the year like this 2021 is over after today like this is like there's no more time after this. It's over and We don't have a plan for this podcast like that we have no topics I don't even have the contact information in front of me. So you're not getting any contact information today I will thank the patrons at the end But that's only because I have that scene already preloaded if I didn't that just wouldn't happen either because we have no plans. So Tyler Buddy old pal You're you're using windows again. I am using windblows. Yes It's a bootloader into unreal. Yeah All I hear excuses of yeah, I'm using windows. I'm a Windows fanboy Yeah, yeah, Microsoft are definitely pals. Yeah, that's what I heard.  So many people would like the only time anybody like who doesn't know Anything about my channel sees my face. It would be me hugging a Windows logo It was just so good because it's obviously the purest truth Oh my god No, I mean kind of you know, I mean yes Secretly me and Microsoft have a deep love affair that no one can know about Bill Gates is the baby daddy. I'm just gonna say Can't help people that okay Tyler's mom and Bill Gates about 24 years ago Look his lawyers can't allow that information Legally, I'm not supposed to be talking about this. I signed an NDA, okay, right?  It's like wait, what? No, hello That's your job We'll go to the next talking second, but I just want to say this out loud I have not used windows like for any appreciable amount of time in over two years Like I have installed it one time I installed it on this computer back here for about an hour and a half Because I need to update the firmware on this camera that I bought But I immediately uninstalled it Other than that I have it and I haven't used windows for any appreciable amount of time in over two years And I can't say that I'm happy about that at all Like I can't think of one thing about windows that I miss No, I thought you were saying you can't really say that you're not like you're you're happy without using it I was like wait what you want to go back to using windows. No never like that. I can't think of anything on windows like I Think back to my windows days because I was a Windows user for a long time. I'm just trying to figure out why What I what I would miss what is there one thing on windows that I would like to be able to have back And I can't think of a single thing like Would it be cool to be able to use Adobe Audition to edit the podcast? I mean, no, I mean Audacity seems to be okay. I mean I'm used to it also why pay why pay that much money You just edit the podcast at a certain point. I mean it was I'm not Wasn't even the money too much. It was because oh don't be audition is a good program But I don't miss it. I don't miss premiere I never was really into it at that point because I never did, you know video podcast at that point when I was still using windows so I'm trying to think of other things on windows that I would Like to have and I can't think of any like not a single one Like so I think I I think I am the Linux user like I a guy who's just never gonna switch away from Linux So well, I mean the funny thing is is like I'm kind of the same way except for like I just want to get I just want to get a game made and Godot is not It's not really ready for 3d yet. It can do 3d. It definitely can But it is not ready for 3d for just your indie One person making a game. It's it doesn't make it simple to make a 3d game 2d is fantastic however, I'm trying to make a 3d game and Like that's kind of the only thing that windows is good for is the salt like just some software is more It's not necessarily that it's better on windows. It's just that it's more stable like unreal I'm gonna compile from source on Linux anyway Because you have to there's not you there's no epic games launcher obviously on window on Linux. Thank God But anyway, you have to compile it from source. So that's the same engine. It's just it's more prone to bugs on Linux Still it runs fine. I German 10 guy says 3d is bloat I Want to talk about Linux for a minute. I am thinking about distro hopping I'm just gonna put that out there. I have the itch again, and it's probably a bad idea because My Linux installs working fantastically right now. Like it's like really good audio is working good You know, I have all the stuff set up that I need to have set up. I got you know Cron jobs running in the background that need to be running and all this stuff. It's working fantastically, but I Got the itch again. I want to go through and distro hop Just because apparently I want to go through and set this all up all over again Cuz you know, it's not as if anything else is going to change. I'm gonna go through. I'm gonna install DWM I'm gonna So I'm gonna have all the same things the same key bindings the same applications are gonna be installed Literally nothing else is going to change other than instead of using Pac-man-s to install I've been you using app because I want to I'm thinking about switching them MX Linux So, yeah, I was thinking so just just just cause just cuz well I so there is a good reason so MX has this tool called The snapshot tool and what it will do is take everything in your home partition in your root partition your entire distro and Make it into an ISO So you can go through and create that tool create your ISO Take it out of one computer put it in another installed exact same ISO on another computer or just have it for a backup and You're good to go like everything like window managers themes wallpapers pictures music everything It's really cool And I kind of want it But I don't know why I want it as one of those things where you don't really need it like I don't like I have the capability of just get pulling the stuff that I need to You know do but Why not do it this way? I don't know.  I think that's the the thing about this dropping is that it is fun, you know But the thing is I don't really need to waste that time I could be doing other things Other than going through what I probably end up doing is instead is I've been thinking about redoing my DWM install Because there's a couple patches that I want to use instead. So right now I use the status 2d patch to do color in the bar and That's fine. It works. Well, but there's another one that allows you to get a whole ton more options for colors in the bar Including changing the colors of every aspect of like the tag names So you could change the text the background the foreground all of it and I'm thinking about doing going through me doing that because Starting over and just repatching everything is way easier than going through and pulling out a patch So that's what I've been thinking. I mean I probably gonna end up doing that And I've also been trying to think about trying out that flexi patch thing because that looks kind of cool So Yeah, that's what I do have to say TFL posted binary into the chat and I got distracted looking it up He's just for anybody who wants to know what he's saying in binary. He's saying binary. It's the best and Quite frankly, I disagree sucks. That was very difficult to translate and it distracted me. Thanks TFL so When it comes when it comes to Switching over like are you sure you're not gonna miss the a you are quite a bit? Oh, I know I will You know if I disturb hot tire, you know that within a week. I'll be right back on our girl Like I know and that's my whole thing like you're like I'm trying to like catch the cycle before it even starts like You're gonna go over there. You're gonna be like, oh, this is nice, but there's no way you are Okay, so I've been doing a long-term review on fedora And I am really really impressed with the software and availability on fedora It's like if you enabled the proper repositories on fedora, you basically have access to everything you could possibly I haven't come across one thing on fedora that I couldn't install Including a lack of you like a lack of you a lot of times isn't in a repository like on a boot to you Can't just install a lack or you just can't do it. You have to build it or you have to use pop-a-wess Which for real reasons it's in their repositories is not a boom-tooth, but whatever On fedora, it's been really good. Um, so And there's gonna own so obviously you love it I will say this I have not been using a no I have I have DWM installed so I I did go through and rice, you know, I'm like I made it pretty but After I was done with that I immediately left and went back to DWM I love it because it's just like your attitude towards a good. Oh, it's just great It's like yeah, I threw some glitter on the turd and then I moved on Like I want to make sure if anybody else coming across they could be happy with it But there's no way I'm using this first of all died German pen guy in the chat is banned For alternative. He said they you are as bloat No Look, there are plenty of lazy maintainers in the A. You are but it's so damn good What am I supposed to use instead gentoo? I mean am I supposed to be sitting there compiling everything for the next hour and a half? Oh, I want to download Neofetch, but I gotta compile it first, you know No, I don't think so Yeah, so I don't know I I have some Linux plans and that are Bubbling away in the back of my head, but you're like, you're right You know at the end of the day if I do distro hop, I'll just be hopping right back to our girl That's so good. I mean, that's the thing. We all have our like We all have our home Linux distro like you start off using Linux.  He like here Um, I was talking to one of my patrons said he was he has a very complicated Linux setup he has like 12 Linux distributions installed on a couple hard drives and I was thinking like maybe I should just do that, you know, cuz I hop all the time Why not just keep a partition of every one that I like to hop to so I'll have an MX one I'll have Arco. I'll have vanilla arts.  I don't have an anxiety problem at all, but that made me anxious I was like, oh, oh, there's there's so much scattering like Like what happens if you need files from like one system on another one How are you gonna? Duplicate that do you have enough hardware like like storage space to actually have all your files on each one in this computer here I have an MVME. That's a terabyte. I have two 500 gigabyte SSDs and I have two two terabytes spinner drives in this one computer plus I have a 14 terabyte external hard drive So I think I'm pretty good. You're fine on storage. I mean, it depends on how many, you know questionable videos you have stored on your computer, which I'm gonna assume is you know in the moderate amount, you know No comment I still have files from when I was a teenager, so The all that stuff's on that you that's why like so how are you going to I mean? I guess you could just keep the bulk of all of your storage on You know separate drives it. I mean you could have it mounted like Yeah, you could definitely do that. Okay. So yeah, the way the way Linux works I know you probably forgot about this things how your Windows user now You're the one that's how you could have went to the whole podcast not told me and I'm one of them But you told me so you had to have known that you were gonna get trolled the whole fucking way through Oh, I knew I knew what was coming Anyways, so the way Linux works is like right now I have Arco on one hard drive and fedora on the other but I can actually go through and Access the files between them as long as I have polka enabled so it's actually fairly easy to create like sim links so as long as you have enabled those Like it gets finicky if you don't give it pseudo access first You got to make sure that you access those drives like the manual way where they're actually at before you go to the sim Links, otherwise, they'll be broken It's weird. I can get annoying pretty fast though It does and then we get way more annoying if I had 12 different districts where I had to do that But well, I mean like that's kind of what I'm saying like if you prepared for it You could store all of the files that you're going you're like where you're going to actually store all of your stuff off Of that one drive where you're gonna have all of the partitions for your 12 different distros I'll give them, you know enough space for the actual operating system and all of your files are stored elsewhere So they can all individually access them all like you just have a home. Oh, I mean, that's one thing that you could do You could just have one drive be your home directory and then just mount that for each distro Yeah, that probably work. I could also do something super complicated where I put all of the necessary files up on git Get pull them to every single distro. Oh, and then when I make changes just get push them up So that it would then apply to all of the Repositories on all of the things that sounds great until you start thinking about wallpapers Like yeah, the thing is though. I have a hard drive where you just put the wallpapers and just access them You know, I mean it's just you know, not all of my hard drives are gonna be Linux distros It I have like a 500 gigabytes SSD. That's all my big video stuff on it. I could just make a Me a director on that. It's just for wallpapers. It'd be easy to connect to I could literally do that for everything though. I mean literally there's I mean I have my music on the external hard drive I have all my pictures there What else do I mean the only thing that would be different between then the different partitions would be like downloads You know me so yeah, so what I'm hearing is we have now Walked to you through the process of Installing and now you are now a 12 distro user. Oh, it's kind of sounds fun, doesn't it just it kind of sounds fun Yeah, I'll have to get contact with since if you can walk me through actually setting up grub because I Never actually played around with grub because I've never like I haven't do I mean alright So I have messed around with grub, but it's been probably five or six years Because I haven't dual booted anything in five or six years Even now I have two distros, but I don't mess around with grub. I just have them when I want to go into one I just get into the boot menu and go to that hard drive.  Hopefully like grub shouldn't take you too long to get set up.   Hey, look that isn't a nice view. They just shoves them off Hi grub Let me know how soft it is on the way down you jerk ass But I think I think windows to be honest has gotten better about that but I still like I don't really Dual boot a lot Especially when it comes to like I think you Windows gets like real egregious when it's on the same drive Like that's when it really like Windows boot manager don't like that And I always dual boot on like if I'm gonna dual boot. I'll do it on separate drives and that normally Have any problems Yeah We talked way too much about Windows. I'm kind of I mean Well, I mean in talk the only thing we've really talked about about Linux or Windows has been how it's egregious that I'm using it and how bad it is. That's it and how much you love it.  Well, we're working on a project where he's going to deep fake me and then he's also gonna deep fake like He's gonna deep fake my face and put it on his and then also deep fake my voice And then I'm going to have an interview and just like not really an interview like not like proper like formal but I'm just gonna have a conversation with myself and like just post that just kind of as a cool thing of like This is like something that we did Because obviously he's working with AI. So it's just kind of a cool thing that he can do. I Don't know whether or not to be impressed that he has that amount of time on his hands or Little bit creeped out that he has that still has that much of your face on his heart Cuz I saw it like he has like what was like eight gigabytes or something with your face Well, I According to the image, I believe he's got like I don't know how many hundred over but he's definitely got over 8,000 pictures on my face and They're like their pictures of exactly my face like they've been ran through an AI program that like deletes everything other than just my face I'm pretty sure we're gonna come into a situation where Tyler's had his identity stolen by Dylan and You will no longer be your own person He'll be like the matrix where he's living your life But you're like locked in a basement somewhere because he's gonna or the weirdest thing would be when he starts like Managing the discord more often and just deep fakes my face and everything and changes his username or something very close to mine Like my username but with a dot after it so you can barely tell it's not me I just pops in there and then it's me like hey, man, like what are you doing? Anyway, like that that'll be weird When I'm managing my discord, but I'm not even there see and we know that Dylan uses windows So how we ensure that this hasn't already happened? Dude, I might be Dylan right now if you don't even know I'm pretty sure you are I'm just saying you I mean It would explain explain if it does get that good if he doesn't do that good of a job Then we definitely need to have a podcast Like if the deep fake is actually like really convincing definitely need to have him just be on the podcast Let's see if anyone notices.  Well, I'm starting it from scratch because I still didn't find the game files. Oh, that's right. You told me that you'd lost them they were there on a Portable two terabyte hard drive that I always kept in this room Mainly because it was almost always plugged up to my TV in the back of it You know because it had legally acquired movies and TV shows on it. Of course, of course, right? Yeah so, yeah It just it vanished I have I know it has to be somewhere here at the house or at my grandparents houses only two places It could be But I've searched everywhere. I can't find it and finally at this point it's been like four months You're gonna find that thing one day and it's gonna be attached to like your grandmother's laptop or something And she's gonna have been down at downloading her knitting patterns on it and overwritten all of your game files. Anyways, I Swear if if all of my stuff is overwritten with like tax files, I'm gonna freak Great So you're starting over do you have what what are your plan? Are you do you have my upgrade plans like you have a different path towards what you were taking or? It's So for the stream that I do later on I've got it scheduled closer to it towards four. So about another hour I'm gonna show off like the project and and everything that's going on in it and then also we're gonna actually whip up and finalize a Game outline document, but it's an infinite runner and shooter where you're trying to escape a massive essentially infinite city Again, it's an endless runner. So it's procedurally generated and Mainly the reason I am choosing this is because I found a there's a template that's completely free that I'm using It's foreign real. It's on the marketplace But it's an endless runner Flying shooter template. I've modified it because I don't need the flying aspect. It's really need. Oh, I'll show it off in the live stream, but Not it's not for what I'm making But it it made all of the mechanics super easy and so all I had to do is essentially like like remap a skeleton onto my character's model and all of that goodness and Get his animation set up so it made it a lot simpler to get started and Also, I really really like the the like Actual gameplay of it like the flow the mechanics are really nice And it just it makes it super easy so I can build just start building the actual game world make it look really really good and interesting focus on story and stuff so Yeah, I'm pretty excited about it But I don't have any formal game document to like go over and exactly tell you a short description about it Because I wanted to do that. I want to do that live like with everybody Because even though I'm making it I do kind of wanted to be a community sort of driven project I Remember when I first saw you streaming when you were making it before I was just so damn impressed and cuz I Have no talent Like I couldn't even be able to begin like Where even know what to start so I have no and I mean first of all I'm not really interested in developing my own game because I'm not a gamer I mine my game would be pretty damn boring if I ever developed No action whatsoever, but um, I was just really impressed with it because like you have Definite skill in that area, so I'm gonna definitely check out some of your your stream I'm I'm glad cuz I talked with TFL for a while And so TFL does know how much like I told him how much time I wasted doing like messing around with stuff It's been a again. It's been a while since I've Messed around with game development, especially 3d game development. So I was like refreshing myself I spent like four hours both like when I was should be working on a project figuring out what I want to do and Get inspiration and everything I spent like four hours messing around with foot IK Which is like where you can realistically move a foot like and the rest of a skeleton like you can move a leg It based off of where like the foot should be and the leg will move realistically I spent four hours doing that and then it occurred to me the game I'm making it doesn't matter if his foot placement is exactly on the floor like the camera is like gonna be like 25 meters back it doesn't you'll never notice. So I spent like four hours working on a realistic thing that no one I guarantee you no one would notice if I actually implemented it in the game. No one Ratholes to the the best Okay, so the next thing I want to talk about So I've been promising something for at least two years Like I've been talking about it every single podcast not only since you joined but when Martin was here I know exactly what this is and I'm excited and I Have been promising a website For the Linux and there is now a website for Linux cast. You can't visit it. It's not online yet No, it's so excited about it. It's not there, but it exists like the files are there and Like the work has actually began It's all done. It's literally all I gotta do is push it up and it's ready to go The only thing I'm waiting for is I'm trying to create a script so that I can actually update it via like a bash But every time I try to get I had some question with bash So and I didn't want to bother TFL because he's usually my go-to when it comes to bash so I got into the bash subreddit on on Reddit and asked my question and the only answers I've got was hey, why don't you do this in Python? like well, I Don't know how to do it in Python and I You know, you know, and I I mean I'm learning, but I don't think I could go this far yet Like I'm I'm just starting so yeah The subreddit ended up being like a horrible idea for for answers and then I went to the like there's like a Linux like a Discord server I don't know what it's called, but they have a section for bash programming So I asked my question there first person to respond. Why don't you do this in Python? Because I want to do it Seriously, all I need to do is add one line constantly to the to the HTML file Like that's all I need to do is add a line Which is basically a link like every time I run the file or the the script That's all I need to do and said should work just perfectly fine But everybody was like well technically said to not use the you really can't parse this or where you choose Python Linux elitism, I love it. It's great No, the best thing is it's like I know TFL now. He's like, okay now I can't go to sleep.  I did finally reach out to TFL and asked. Oh, yeah, and he offered to even do it for me Which is just I mean a testament to his character I want to come and I will I said I may take you up on that, but I'm trying to learn into my own I'm still working on it. That's if I stop making videos. I probably actually work on it It's a little while longer today, but um Yeah, then he was the website's done I can show everybody who's who's watching the video version can see I believe if I am Maybe I don't actually have a I don't have a seen this just for just for the actual screen So I can't show you this so I apologize for that, but It does exist It's there and it should be up by the time we do another episode because all I could all I have to do is push it Even if I have to say script if I have to scrap the script idea and just push it up and do the links manually Cuz literally all it is be typing in the link every time I need to update it So this is literally the epitome of laziness because I wanted to do a script so I just press the button No, so this is not like a wordpress site or something. No, no, it's pure HTML and CSS What I did was I took all the code from hex DSL site And then made it my own Creative comments I love it so much because that's exactly what I would do if I was gonna make a website I just gonna use and copy it. I'm gonna I'm gonna let me save this In discord, I'm gonna send this to you so you can actually see it. It's in it's in our chat here Oh I'll float a file and then this is gonna be the most pointless part of the podcast because nobody else is going to be able to see this But you'll be able to see it. That's all it matters That way you can you can tell everybody else that it does in fact exists All right is it has been sent Apparently I got mentioned Oh I like it dude. That's clean. So it's like see it exists. You you you see it I do see there is there is a visual proof. It's like it's there So yeah, it does it guess that's exactly that is exactly what I didn't copy this into the thing I sent you by at the bottom. I do give credit to text DSL So I didn't just like it and not give credit. So Yeah, yeah, I will give you props. You are very a very generous and nice guy Most people do not give credit. It's in the license terms. Okay, you have to get it's It's usage with attribution or whatever it's called. That's what CC that was the CC 4.0 that he used so I did it Yeah, anyways, well, I will say one thing though. This is completely. I mean not necessarily off topic goes for what you're saying but so my podcast with hex DSL will be coming out tomorrow for anyone who is interested in Seeing more of hex or you did a podcast with hex DSL Yep, I also have Podcasts lined up not necessary. Okay. I've already recorded a podcast with DT and Gavin Freeborn and those will be coming out Shortly after hexes And then you're gonna be more famous than me and that doesn't bother me at all That's great, man. That's awesome. I'm gonna definitely listen to that and I'm I mean I'm a little jealous that you're cheating on me with hex DSL, but I'm just saying I had him first boys knock off Well, I think when I I haven't talked with Jeff about it But me and Jeff are kind of like really lax on our podcast and we're like, I mean we don't I Mean we're just casually talking and if we miss it like it doesn't matter or anything I Think what I'm gonna do is just kind of integrate it all together into one podcast Because I've got the Linux land podcast and this new series that's coming up. It's gonna be called the Linux crew And I think I'm just I think I'm just gonna merge it together So me and Jeff when we do do podcast or it'll just get loaded up as the Linux cast Good lord My name You can't you can't steal that from me, too That's great Lewis said can't hear you, but hello So is there anything like new on the horizon For you video wise anything new interesting No, basically the same old shit that I've been doing I have So I was talking about this before we started recording, but I have many different Videos recorded going so I have a couple of this reviews that are just you know, the normal stuff I have some them tips that I've been work because which I talked about how I switched all my writing to them So I did a video on that.  I hate vertical video like I I can't stand the black bars But I've gotten used to it. The thing that I can't do is stay under a minute like Like I watched like the shorts that DT does and he always has like he seems like he's able to say so much in that minute me I do like the minute and Like it feels like it's so short and I didn't say anything.  She says she thinks he's the most narcissistic bastard ever, but she loves him Or I mean she looks like well, it's watching him, but anyway, he hit the other day I managed to be around her while she was watching dr. Phil and he was doing an episode about Linux content creators like this guy He apparently made a million dollars or he had 10 million subscribers All he does is shake his ass to the same song Every single video and the only thing that's different is where he's doing it like first of all wait You said he was a Linux creator. No, no, no YouTube creator. Oh, okay. Sorry.    Oh, right. Yeah during that same episode some woman was the I mean beautiful woman, but she Was a nurse but she got fired because she had an only fans and now instead of making like $80,000 as a nurse She makes $300 thousand dollars a month Okay, oh my god Like I don't So back to the question win. No, it's not Well, look look we'll just Here's what we'll do all of the content that would go on to only fans We'll just put on t-shirts and sweaters and everything and sell what I thought you were gonna say as well I'm gonna contact Dylan and see if we can't deep-fake some of this stuff No, see just keep making videos the preferably ones with more of just post more shorts And then as soon as we got enough of those well We'll get on that if Dylan ever has 8,000 Pictures of me on his hard drive We're gonna know something. He's definitely is having some kind of issue there where he's obsessed with somebody Like you do this for other content creators, too I mean, do you it does he have like a folder on there of like Luke Smith and and Dr. Dr. Beast mr. Beast and everything on there. He's like He does have a Elon Musk That's great Alright Solo Now on the topic of Only fans you need to cut off the hello I'm this and that and you can find me here and there and I need to thank my patrons And you'll be under a minute. I'll Talk about being Shorts like yeah, I don't usually do that in the shorts though I usually start but I still have a problem doing a minute because you know You really don't realize how short a minute actually is until you start to record a video on On it.  They were like five minutes long like Like one of the comes like this is not a short this is you didn't follow the directions I remember the first time DT did a short like he DT still doesn't do shorts correctly because he does he does them in landscape mode He doesn't like vertical videos either So his don't take the count of shorts But I remember the first time was like everybody in the in that conversation was like you did it wrong Like he did it wrong Like that was the same with mine like you did wrong like I can't I can't do a minute like a minute is too short Like and they want they don't want a minute. They want you to do it in 15 seconds or less That's what that's what they want. Yeah, I mean the shorter the better they do I can barely say five words in 15 seconds because I'm Stuttering like Well, it's the pressure zone man. It's like 15 seconds. All right. I gotta spit on everything right now. Let's go Let's go one day I'm gonna release like a bloopers reel of all of my stuff because I keep all of my videos, right?   I would do so well. I would do so well Yeah, like I have this the only problem is I'm a I I don't do a good job of saving them like I have like I have all of the Videos in raw form, but sometimes I don't go through and cut out the funniest parts and save those parts separately So I'd have to go through and do that, but um, there's Usually my funniest parts Or at the end when I'm trying to read out all the patrons names Like there's a there's a new guy who just subscribed on YouTube his name is carbon dated and tonight Today was the first day I did a video where he ended up on the end screen and his name ended up being carbonated carbonated Carbonated I did carbon carbon carbonated and then eventually I got it to the point where it was carbon dated But it took me like four different goes through to fucking get it right And it doesn't like Some of the things like I always do a really good job like up to that point because I mean doesn't really matter Prior to that because I can always go through and edit stuff out, right? But once I get to that patrons thing I Always mess it up like every single time sometimes there was one time like it took me nine times of Starting over that patron section like I just had to keep for a video because I kept messing up on a name or two Or something. It was really I don't know why that Eventually I'm getting to the point now where I have so many patrons that it's getting hard to name to read them all out In a reasonable amount of time so I'm gonna have to do what Brody didn't just say all these fine people, you know First of all problems obviously Got too many supporters. Yeah, I know never gonna say that I wish that was my problem. Yeah wish. Oh goodness gracious. All right, so I Don't know what else so Let's take a let's do a question answer.    I'm pretty sure Yeah So you so you've done podcast now with hex and you've done with DT and Gavin you said, right? Yeah, those are gonna be really fun, I bet you Obviously, I've got to record another one with Jeff and that one will go under that new podcast I'm trying to think I want obviously I'm going to record one with you for that I just don't know when I'm going to do it because to be honest, I Haven't hit up anyone else to record a podcast Gardener Bryant will Hopefully I'll catch him when he's free. He's really busy. I mean, he's I think he's moving or something Like he's doing a whole bunch of stuff right now. So he's just busy. I mean who isn't busy. It's the holiday season. So Yeah, but eventually I'll do one with do one with Gardener Bryant Trying to think I've talked I've talked to other people too Almost everyone that I've reached out to has been really nice and wanting to do a podcast which was really nice There is one person who turns who has turned me down But he know who he knows who he is and he knows he's better than me So we won't bring up names at all. He just he knows he's too good and no, I'm not talking about Matt Okay. No, I would never I would never turn you down, man. I might charge you a lot of money to do it But I'd say yes, exactly. It might it might cost me three hundred dollars.  I Like it. I mean then we don't have to worry about schedules. It'd just be the same day All right, so yeah, we have some questions art center asked our am I using pipe where yet the answer that is Fuck no Ben they're done that ruin the system No Well pipe wire and pulse mix together really well really well. It's just when you have pipe wire by itself. It's kind of My problems they do the updates and then things break Alexandria says go bowl next one. I have it on my list I haven't had a chance to do I looked into it and it looked like it was gonna be more complicated than just like a ten minute video So I still have it on my list. I do plan on doing it Waffle says Matt you should become a Gucci model. Okay.  I'd watch the crap out of that I I am trying I am trying to As soon as I get back like as soon as Christmas and everything is done and I've got time I do plan on trying to reach out to mental outlaw, but At the same time, I really don't know that I want to do a podcast with Luke Smith Not that I wouldn't be interested in talking with the man But I have a feeling the comments that I want to get are kind of not something that I'm interested in reading a ton The funny thing is I think you'd have more luck getting Luke Smith be on a podcast and month all I don't think mental Outlaw has ever done a collaboration with anybody else Might be wrong about that, but I've never seen him do anything with anybody else Now that you say it. I haven't seen him do anything Luke Smith and DT have talked So I know that they they've done in collaborations before I Don't think that he's done it any time Like he doesn't looks like doesn't do Linux content like hardly ever anymore. He's very much like Joe Collins He doesn't do like content very much anymore Um Gucci is a clothing brand.  It goes all model. Yeah Oh Glosex says thanks for the gallery DL app. Yeah, that was that was my favorite of the top apps of the month. That's so good Just pointed at wall haven. I'm gonna download every single wallpaper on wall haven That's just that alone was good. Um lots porn like half of those half of that uh The available sites that it worked with were hentai sites. So um, that's definitely but it also worked with flicker and 500 pixels and twitter and Pinterest and I think it used to read it too. Um, so Yeah, I had some legit sites on there, too And you just download it would just go through and download all the like you'd use search for something on Uh wall haven and it would download every single Thing in that search result At full at full resolution So good Glosex is there a plan for january? Like as in the the podcast like podcast we'll be we've talked about we're coming back to the six We'll be back Webeck says, um, would you please have a long Session that shows us your entire linux setup Things like how you can figure the components your window manager shortcuts And your alias it configs. I would consider doing that in like a stream or something that would be that could be kind of fun um I'd be that yeah, that would be a good stream like system breakdown kind of thing like just Going through and breaking down everything that you're doing on the system. I did do a workflow of video Maybe five months ago or so, but that could probably be updated um Tyler would be a model for weed Bro so true.  I'd be like, yes Like no questions asked In one hand, he's got his linux in his windows computer on the other hand. He's got a bong These things go together I gotta be honest like I'm not really open to sponsors really at all. I'm not really interested in doing that thing I know I could make money that way, but I'm not really interested in it Unless a weed company or a linoad either one of those like it like to be honest if I could like shill for a weed company and Like linoad at the same time be like sponsored by two companies like that. Yeah, I'd be those would be the only like sponsors I'd be interested in I'm open to sponsorships, but I don't have any Alexander, yes, pay me and weed please Hey, I mean greens green brother I'm glad to know that glossack that they don't have a limit I didn't wasn't patient enough to go over a hundred a hundred the month when I did try that But man gallery yell is so good Um, it's so good are any gaming streams in 2022 Why you guys want to watch that torture you're not a gamer Um, I have steam installed. I haven't opened it in like a month Like I bought civilization Was it six or whatever? And it won't launch on linux like it says it's a linux native thing and it just I'm having the same problems I was having with Battlefront where I press the play button It does absolutely nothing for about a half a second and then it says It transfers then over to like the stop button Like you know how the the play button transfers into a stop button when the game is running And then it goes immediately back to a play button Nothing comes up no one pops up and that happened with battlefront too And it happened with uh now civilization and civilization is a native linux game as far as I can tell so Um Well, look for everybody who is sad that matt's not going to do gaming streams. Look I more than make up for it I literally have a gaming related stream Scheduled already. Okay, so like I make up for it. Don't bother matt about becoming a gamer All right, I have a video plan plan for the top five linux games, but um Okay, so now you will do like nine hour gaming streams with me, right?  I I'm not opposed to playing zero ad eventually with you. Um You heard it here boys. That was a yes.  I did actually last night go to amazon us to and search for that because you only provided the uk link, right? In his description, so I went to amazon us and searched for hex dsl and it took me to hex dsl r Um And then I searched for the name of the book and it took me to gardening tools So I messaged him back and asked him if he had a link to the us one and he did provide that So yes, I will be buying that whether or not I will read it Soon, I don't know I have a ton of other stuff to read But I want to make sure I support him because the fact that he wrote a book and it's published is freaking awesome Yeah, I he actually when we did our podcast. He actually sent me his e-pub um I believe he also sent me Ironically, he sent it to me as a pdf Which so what I'm hearing is gonna put the ship on like like pirate base or nobody ever has to buy his book That's wrong man No, I mean, I'm pretty sure if you ask hex like hey, man Uh, can I just like get a copy of the book? I'm pretty sure he just sent it to you like I don't I'm As far as I know, he's only selling it on amazon for like a few months or whatever And then it'll be completely free like on his website. Yeah, that's what he said. Um, but I don't I don't mind No, I get same here like I I'm gonna buy the paper back just to support him Like in that way like it's just kind of a cool thing like I'll have hex's book just here I've just decided I'm just gonna buy both because that's really all I'm doing is sending us the money You know And I will say since I have like read a bit of it. It's a good book. He he he definitely he definitely can write Which is good.  I can't aim worth a damn. I'm really really bad I'm a spray and pray kind of guy That's more although I will say Tyler that game that you're playing the other day that was like a mixture between halo and portal What is that game? Split gate that looks really fun. I wouldn't be good at it, but it looks really fun. It's completely free It is it's not open source and free, but it is free native linux binary As far as I know, yeah, it's complete. It's native Now I don't know if you can get it anywhere other than steam I've never tried getting it like I just got it from steam, but I'm sure you I'm sure you could get it elsewhere I don't mind downloading stuff from steam. That doesn't bother me Except for half the time. Shit doesn't play, but I think that's mostly my problem not steam's problem Glossick asks us when we're going to do tutorial content I do tutorials every once in a while Um, I really don't like doing tutorials only because to be honest For most things there's already one that exists and I'm just going to be duplicating someone else's effort and I mean also to a lot of the stuff that like I would make tutorials on like Okay, so When I first started the channel most of my stuff when I did tutorials were tutorials that weren't tutorials It was watch along while Matt's bumbles away through trying to do stuff And I like those videos so I might go back to doing some of those um Do things that I have absolutely no idea how to do but call it a tutorial. I just Well, that's pretty much how I do it Like I figure out how to operate a basic like basically operate a small piece of software and then I'm like, hey Here's how I do this expert Yeah That's kind of kind of the sad thing like if you wanted me to get like I could do a tutorial on how to do like Like ik like inverse kinematics and like a game engine, but that's has nothing to do with Linux like that's kind of where most of my detailed skills would be is in like game development and stuff and Also, I really don't like doing tutorials because even if I was going to do it like there's so many tutorials out there so many I'd rather just give my bs opinion on stuff and yeah, I don't I don't mind Doing things other people have already done because if if I did I would never be able to make seven videos week. So that's true. That's true I saw linux dabbler here. Hi linux dabbler. How are you doing bud?  Um, I'm just we all know that's going to happen. Um, Hello, miguel. How are you doing? um Yeah, well you are jumping uh tax action and you are jumping in late because we are almost done because I know tyler has to go Um, he has a stream scheduled. So we don't want to make him late for that Um, is tyler still using windows? Yes, he is Only windows 10 now He's back using windows. Yeah, I was using fedora for quite a while really liking it and really have a problem with fedora but um Again developing a game in unreal. I just don't want to run into any weird Unreal glitches or bugs because I'm developing on linux So It's not really excuses. I mean and I love winix. I I love linux. I love windows. I do I do. Thank you Someone finally acknowledges it uh, yeah but um To everyone who wants to like if you want to grill me about using windows for a while Look, just come over to the stream. I'll be going for a while. You can grill like Sadly, I plan on streaming for a very long time So there is you have plenty of time to grill me about using windows I'm gonna be in the chat just shouting windows the whole time windows And then at the end I'll be like So you're gonna regret all this joking about jintu and that actual challenge hits The thing is uh, Sid upped his contribution this last week from $13 to $50 a month So I'm like 136 bucks. Now, so I'm getting closer Like there's there's gonna be you're right. There's gonna be somebody out there That will just say I want to see this guy install jintu again So I'm gonna give him that's what I need to learn like that. That's why I'm not really doing like Like making any Extreme amounts of money on patreon. I don't have a ridiculous goal set So I need to set some goals that the community knows that I wouldn't like and that's how I'll start making money That's that's how it works The dents you guys out I triggered them See your your issue tyler is and we have video proof of this is that when You did Say I'll do this for money. You set the goal. So ridiculously low That you ended up spending a week in plan nine for $50 Come on man. Have I taught you nothing? How much money would it cost for you to live in plan nine again for another For another week. Yeah I'm just curious if you've finally upped your standards No kidding like honest to god, I do it for $500 I would for 500. I mean at least it's you asked for more than you did last time I just I just think I'll ask for 10 times more like it was It was 10 times more of a pain in the ass than I thought it was going to be so I should at least get paid 10 times more. So Look plan nine is very interesting and everything just because I know I we've got lewis in here Like look plan nine. It's very interesting. But to use it on a daily basis It it's terrible. It's There's no reason to use it. It can't do anything like well, not anything Unless you want to edit some text files Everything else is out. Did you see tfl's comment? Tyler doesn't like freedom. That's why he uses windows and joey's being put in a small box and told what he can and cannot Do while being watched 24 7 That's so true Like how he describes me like a like I'm some lab rat Well, you are not I mean I am being studied like one so That's so great Oh, that that is just the best thing Everything You just spent the whole podcast trolling you because you use windows again, man You gotta you gotta stop doing this tell us up telling me at least you know because you know You know, I'm gonna spend the whole time just giving you shit Well, I also don't want to have it happen where you find out at the end again And then you're like what oh come on man. I could have had in a whole hour That was the macOS one, right? How much for what is what is shrine os? People tell me this and that in temple. What's the only what they are shrine os is temple os but with some improvements like I believe shrine os is the one that like I think it holds more true I can't remember if it's the one that holds more true or less true to like Uh, terry davis is actual like vision for the os Uh, I think shrine os is the one where it adds like a whole bunch of hardware support It does a does a ton of stuff to temp like og temple os I think shrine os is the one where it still doesn't add internet capability like there's still no such thing as internet And digerman pen guy says, uh, how much for exerbo? I still don't know what exerbo is either so, um I mean more than happy to do it for five hundred dollars More than having you finally said at least setting your goals at a reasonable amount Is that like that's real money?  I I wish I wish microsoft was paying me because that would make using their os feel a lot better Just kind of would You're you're a good popo linux dabbler.   I don't care.  I don't know where I went wrong with you, but I gotta start over again Look, I gotta I gotta make sure the rest of my kids come out right. All right Can be can be poisoning my other kids You'd have to pay you'd have to tfl son you'd have to pay me a lot of money to live in windows I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure That tfl because again as we all know he hates terminals. I feel like he'd really like windows feel like he really would And and then I mean he's always talking about how you know, like there's too much overhead on his system You know, so just install windows all of that tracking and spine going on It really helps to minimize the overhead and you know It's great. You should definitely do it Like seat up your ram. You'll like it. You'll love it. It's great If tfl uses windows, we'll know that it's your fault I'm just saying See that that's that's how I'll start getting hate like I'll start getting hate when tfl does a choking video Where he sounds completely serious and it's just all about how great power shell is and how Beautiful of a company microsoft is how bill gates is genuinely one of the most brilliant people that have ever lived You've corrupted tfl man.   So Uh, we we did make it past an hour of record time Which is we we had literally no topics. We just bullshitted for over an hour. So um That is it for us on this episode Uh, we don't have pics of the week. We literally put there. There are no show notes for this Like literally there'll be no show notes. Like there's none. I have no links. No contact information I will take a moment to thank my current patrons today devon chris east coast web gen 2 is fun too patrick Oh primus markets maiglin jackson f2l steve mitchell art center amityas carbon dated not carbonated carbon dated Merrick camp joshua lee j dog the bsd's rock peter a and crucible. Thanks everybody for watching This is again, like I said at the beginning the last podcast Of the year like I don't know if you guys know this but there's like 15 days left in this month um So the 15 days left out in the year. So we'll be back january 6th. We record this live When we come back, we'll be recording it live every thursday at three o'clock p.m. Eastern time Check your time zones for where it'll be near you and uh, we'll see you in 2022. Thanks for watching. Yeah


All right, the next project is the project provided by our friends from MoSIP. So let's have a look on that. Present about ING. It's a digital wallet solution from MoSIP. We are excited to be one of the core contributors to the OpenWallet Foundation. I'm Sasi Kumar. You can call me Sasi. I'm head of engineering in MoSIP. Let's jump on to the presentation. What is MoSIP? MoSIP is an open source project. We established in 2018. We announced our first code in the open source somewhere around 2019 after one year of our work. And from then on, we have been building projects in the open for all the countries to use. Our predominant customers are countries who enable their citizens to have a national ID. Identity is a big problem in quite a lot of the countries. Some of the countries are stuck with the vendor log solutions. Some of the countries have attempted to build their own and have been successful in issuing those IDs but not being very successful in actually putting the ID to the use. So what MoSIP offers at this point in time is an ability to issue ID for quite a lot of citizens across the globe. So we today operate in Africa, Asia and Latin America. We have close to 11 odd countries who work with us today and we expect that number to grow. We impact approximately 400 million people's life using this identity platform. 100 million people have received already IDs with this particular platform and they've been using their IDs to avoid social services or social benefits from their respective governments. The project is hosted out of a university called Triple ITB. This project is a non-profit. We've been currently sponsored and funded by Bill and Melina Gates Foundation, NORAD and Pratek Shatrasht. So what does ING do with MoSIP? Some of you for whom ING is a relatively new world, it's a Korean language world. It essentially means recognize. How do I bring recognition to the individual and that is why we named our wallet as ING. ING is a reference implementation to enable countries to provide their citizens with a wallet where they could have the mobile ID which are in the mobile for them to use. The wallet has been under development with us for almost a year and a half now. We have been working on various trial and errors and POCs across our customer base testing the wallet in the market. So it comes with relatively a huge amount of experience in the field knowledge that we gained by using it in countries in Asia and Africa. The wallet also an other interesting feature. The wallet can also be used as an authenticator to prove one's identity within them. MoSIP being a national ID, quite a lot of our countries, not all of them but quite a lot of our countries, do use biometric as a way of verifying and assuring a possible existence in front of them. This is to eliminate ghost and eliminate duplicates. And to assure that there is an individual who is really involved in our viling government services. So it's quite a lot of times there is also a need to prove yourself, not just cryptographically, but prove yourself that you are a physical individual who exists. And it's not a simple password that somebody has used it to transfer. So in order to achieve that, ING also acts as an authenticator within our system. This ensures a presence-based verification and gives us and the countries a very high assurance for what these service deliveries are. Today there are a lot of standards in use but some of the predominant standards that we are going to speak about is OpenID for VC and OpenID for VPU over BLE. These are two important standards that we have been working on. In one case we have been more consumer, in other case we have been the creator. So OpenID for VC we consume a lot of information that's been already created by the OpenID for VP community and the VC community. For the OpenID for VP over BLE, we have been one of the largest contributor for that standard. We have put our code in the open source and soon I will explain you what exists and how we do it. Our story behind YBLE. And a quick, you are going to see a demo a little later and Torsten is going to be there demoing our application, whatever exists as of today. But in chart what does it do? It enables the citizens of multiple countries that we operate to download their ID in a verifiable credentials format onto the wallet onto the phone, secures them using multiple cryptographic technologies that we know of and we go to work extensively in that space for the next one and a half years to ensure there is quite a lot of privacy driven signature schemes that could be built in. But as of today it has a very simple signature schemes. So we call it as a resident app. The resident gets this application, downloads their card and from then on they could verify this card with their mobile wallet. And it enables the service providers to use this wallet and not rely on a central authentication server to verify the individual. So this allows two important aspect. Quite a lot of times our customers who are the citizens of multiple countries that we operate in do not have connectivity. The government officers who go in to verify this individual or the NGOs who work in spaces where there is not enough connectivity often face a very critical problem of using a physical card. The assurance level of a physical card becomes very difficult. Compliance and regulatory standards to prove that an individual existed when they actually serviced them becomes very difficult. So coming from and more offline side of the story the application provides very, very interesting options to provide offline mechanisms as well as online mechanisms. Online predominantly all of us are used to. Online is something that we have been predominantly advocating which could let people to avoid services even in spite of connectivity problems. There is a verifier app that we are working on. The verifier app is more like a library and a proof of concept. So we are working with multiple other open source companies. Either private companies which have open source on part of our work or nonprofits who are actually into the same space. So we are working with multiple of them to use our libraries. This is again as I said it's nothing to do with just most of it's to do with the standards. So use this verifier application and the verifier libraries and build the application so that they could actually verify the individual and service them on the field. So that's potentially what NG today offers to its users. What's in the roadmap? As I said you can't do quite a lot of aggressive implementation so far. One we have been able to use and adapt the open ID for VC specification. Second, we have done a year long exercise in adapting BLE for almost 50 odd phones. So the BLE layers that we have built so far we could guarantee you that across 50 models across from Android version 9 unable. It has a hundred percent compatibility and it ensures that it can work from the lowest phone to the highest phone that the end users have. And just to remind you all we operate in a space where country citizens are going to use this application. And the models of the phone and the variety is going to be humongous and in the next one year we expecting that we will learn quite a lot. So NG comes with pre-built telemetry protocols to ensure we can collect a lot of these information back to help the citizens better. Obviously privacy is a big game. We do not collect anything private about the user. There is no location. There is no information about who you are. It's purely about what error occurs on the phone and we collect those information so that we could fix our code. We can make better code at the implementation level. So one thing is to be guaranteed that after our launch and maybe one year, one and a half years down the launch. We would have something which could work predominantly in almost all the phones. So that has been what we have been hacking through so long. But what's up next? The next stories are going to be a lot more interesting. One of our work has been on analyzing the SDJWT standards. And we are excited that we are going to work on that standard. Obviously there is a final go ahead that we are expecting with our research community here. So once we have that threat maps built for the SDJWT, we would be at full swing to start implementing them. That's going to be one of our next big work in the coming year. We will also be continuing to improve on the BLE specification to make it easier and safer for people to use. And that's an ongoing exercise and our commitment to that continues from our side. Apart from this, OpenID for VP is also one of the important areas that we would be working. So you should see us being very aggressively working. The code is going to also change very aggressively to make sure multiple of the countries that we are working with can adapt. There's going to be some layers of biometrics that's going to come in while we're not going to build a biometric phase verification into the wallet. But it is going to offer a plug and play opportunity for biometric vendors to plug in their layers and provide this authenticator in the countries. Now coming back to the code contribution, the entire ING is going to be a code contribution. But what's the most exciting code contribution that we're going to make is the work that we did with the BLE. So how do you transfer a verifiable presentation over a BLE channel with completely offline mode to a verifier and have a 100% assurance that the individual is the same as he claims to be with all the trust built in? That's what the protocol is about. And I think we have like 80 to 90% compliance to that protocol. We have released our code out in the open and we will continue to make improvements in the protocol as well as in the implementation. And that's going to go hand in hand. And we would be happy for anybody who would like to contribute, anybody who would like to use this and evaluate and work with us. As of now it's going to be JSON-LD profile. Most of Framad's inception has been more of a JSON-LD advocate. But we're not limited by JSON-LD, but most of our first implementations has been over JSON-LD. Today our issuance layer works based on JSON-LD. So at the end of any registration process in most of our workflow systems, the end of it is a verifiable credentials with customized schema for the countries. A verifiable presentation comes out in the JSON-LD format. And we expect to continue that space. But as I said, we're also looking out to enhance it not just for JSON-LD, but to support AWT and other formats as well as we proceed into the space. So Project WALL-E is our library for OpenID for VP and BLE. So today it supports Android and iOS both. There are a lot of native code in place in order to achieve it. We have gone through quite a lot of learning exercise in this process. And quick note what does a TWALL-E stand for? TWALL-E is based out of a Tamil word where I come from. This essentially means it's a tunnel. So BLE is a tunnel that gets created between a verifier, a secure tunnel that gets created between a verifier and the person who wants to present or person who's in need of a service. So it enables you to transfer your data, your presentations in a more secure fashion to a verifier and with the assurance that the verifier could potentially have. Now, this is based on BLE 4.2 and supports all the way till BLE 5 and the latest versions. We have tried this to work around with multiple layers of rust in the past. We tried our best to hack through things but there were limitations with the way how Android works and how iOS works and how REST would be binding them. So we had to fall back and start a lot of native code. So now most of our code comprises of Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS which handles most of the BLE complexities within itself. REST has showed the complexity of the BLEs and the different models. People who worked in the BLE space would know the complexity that's involved. Every phone is different. Every model gives you a different way of handling things. But I think we've done a pretty good job so far. We expect to do better as we go into the production and into the people's hand. We will learn more. We will make this better. So that's a big work that's coming into the Open Wallet Foundation from our side. Obviously, there are going to be a lot of cleanups and other things that's going to happen because it has a history of from where it originated and where it is moving towards. So the cleanup is going to be an ongoing activity. But once we are done with the basic cleanups, we should be able to contribute this back to the Open Wallet Foundation. One of the other work the NG module is going to contribute is also about collecting an issued verifiable credentials using OpenID for VCI. And this is based out of a product called eSignet that we have developed. eSignet is an OpenID compliant authentication. And as an end product of it, the VCI is built as one of the modules. The VCI is built as a plugin and it enables us to connect to any existing data source, not just verifiable credentials. But it could literally connect to any existing data source, convert them into verifiable credentials and then issue back to the wallet. So it's once again an interesting work. It's going to be put to use across 80 million people very soon. You should be hearing us. I mean, we are preparing ourselves for a beta testing. We did an alpha testing in one of our countries with 1000 plus people. Things work pretty brilliantly. We are trying to test this now in Asabeta into the countries. We are going to launch it, which has approximately 80 million user base. So that's an exciting work that's coming in. And that's going to be in the open source available for all of you to use. And there's going to be a lot of learning. Any help here is greatly appreciated from the community. And quick, that's pretty much all about what we're going to contribute for OpenWallet foundation at this point in time. And as I said, we are an open source community. We have pretty much everything in the open source, but it would be nice to have some of these code modules to be part of the OpenWallet foundation. And we could share knowledge and experiences together and make this a better code for a better implementation for the future. And here are all our links that could help you all to reach out to us, look at it and help us and work together as a community together. Thank you. Now, we should be able to see a small demo of how the IG actually works in real time. Thanks everyone. Bye-bye. So we're going to show now the demo of the Mossib Wallet. An application that facilitates storage of verifiable credentials in a single digital wallet and further facilitates sharing credentials with decentralized verification of identity in an offline mode through Bluetooth. In this demonstration, we will showcase how a resident can use the IG application to first download and then share his or her credential with a service provider to avail the required services. For this, the resident opens the app and opts to download the card, which is the national ID in our case. The resident provides the UIN or VID number as available. So let's enter the UIN and initiate the download process. Note that the initial download needs to happen in an online mode. And at this point, during registration, let it be configured to be used based on the nature of service being delivered and the level of assurance required to avail it. Let's first carry out a simple sharing of the card by clicking on the share option. Upon successful sharing of the card, the service provider receives it on his application. Further, the service provider can also view the card in the received card section. Let's now share the card with the selfie option. For this, the resident clicks on the scan option, scans the requesting QR code and clicks on share with selfie. The resident captures a selfie and submits it for face verification against the photo held in the card. Upon successful verification, as we see, the card will be shared with the service provider. In this manner, ING can be used by residents to securely download, store and share cards in the form of verifiable credentials with service providers to avail services. Find more information on how to set up and install ING at talks.mosec.io or reach out to the Mosec team through community.mosec.io to send us your comments and queries. Thank you. So thanks a lot and thanks for your attention. Goodbye.
