and we are live based on the little thing over there. You know, gone are the days when I would wonder if I was live and not get the microphones right.  I'm like, dude, do you know how many years I've been doing it now? I go back in time. You can watch me screw up everything live and now it becomes easier. And like you were asking how I do this with the guests and like StreamYard makes it easy. And by the way, this is Cody from How Come Networks. Hey everybody, hey, Tom's chat. So yeah, I mean StreamYard, I've never used it before I looked at it when Tom was doing his live streams because my favorite feature of it is when you grab a question and it pops up on the streams. The go live thing with YouTube, I use Xsplit and it sometimes takes 10 to 15 minutes to show the go live button. So I don't know if I'm actually live and I'm just sitting there with dead air. At least this shows you in the top left corner that we're live. Yeah. I don't know if that shows the audience though. I don't know if they see the live or not. They probably don't. I've never noticed it in any of your other live streams before. Yeah. I'm actually looking at the feed over here so I actually can, I think I can drag this over and this is that cool where you can share the screen. So we'll share the screen. Chrome tab, recursion, but they see a little live up there I think. Yeah.  Nope. Oh, you don't. Yep. So I have to do it twice. I do it in Xsplit and then I do it in where it says end stream. That's where I press go live. And sometimes it lags and takes forever. But either way, I should probably check, I probably should check this out. StreamYard looks very easy to use. It makes my life easier. And this little feature right here. Yeah. So at least 13 inch connect camera came in yesterday. Why do I won't display cameras on the MBR Pro? Oh yeah, the MBR Pro doesn't run connect. Have you played it down low? Well, so connect is, that's what you're talking about back there. You have to be in an, well it doesn't, so it doesn't natively run on the UNBRs. You have to run it in a UDM Pro and you have to be in an early access channel to be able to do that. Yep. This is some of the confusion like the, when the door access originally only supported the UNBR Pro. Now it supports the Cloud Key Gen2, right? It does. So if you, I don't know if you saw my videos or if you saw Ubiquiti's videos on the calculator, so it's Ui, or calculator.ui.com but that will tell you the resources that you could use. So now you could, it's just Unify OS across the board for the Unify UDM SE, UDM Pro, and then the Cloud Keys. So now they're allowing you to do that but you can't integrate as many doors in the door access for the Cloud Key Gen2s. I don't really use Cloud Keys at all. I do use a lot of UDM Pros and UDM SEs which Tom and I differ there, but yeah. I have a month, so throw your UDM Pro questions because this guy can answer them. Yeah, I use a lot of UDM Pros. So the businesses I deal with are like small scale. They don't need advanced stuff. They need internet access. We put some firewall rules in for them and that's it. If we do go up and we need like high availability, we're using PF Sense. For the most part, we've done data center builds with PF Sense as well. We're actually, I just got a 6100 in today which is right behind me. I have two, so we're putting that in HA but it took I think six and a half months to get the 6100, which, oh, and so is that the 6100? Yeah, I have a couple of them. Oh yeah, yeah, so I got this one here. I saw your review on the 4100. It looks interesting. Same chassis. People were complaining about the price points and I could see that but it is what it is. That's just, I think the future right now, how hardware is gonna go is you're gonna see the price increase until the supply chain slows down a little bit. Yeah, and to go deeper on the price points and people didn't like me saying this but they don't understand the reality of when Intel discontinued some of the chips, Intel actually on the back end, the functional parts that go on there. They actually, they normally have so many years I don't know how many years it was and I don't have handy the article but maybe I'll dig it up and tweet it out again later. A Fronix and a couple of our places did an article on it but they were, it's a harder article to find because let me feel know what this means. It's the people who buy the actual functional chips to integrate them into a circuit board and a PCB design. Intel usually tells these vendors you have X amount of years of support.  They canceled all the production early on a lot of these. So that left them with, oh, we already engineered with this and it tells like, well, it's a physically compatible you just have to do a software firmware slight change. So your new ones will do this at this new chip. They're like, great, but the new chip costs four times as much. So- Well, yeah, there's your price difference right there. Yeah. But if you want to use it, I mean, you can get other, you could build your own PF sense box. I like the neck gear. I just, it just works. And then you have your warranties with them and you have some level of support. I haven't used their support yet but I feel like it's probably good. They are, they're on top of it. I haven't used it either but we know people who have that have bought their enterprise attack and support and things like that. So, you know, they do a good job of it. The, serve the home did a good article though. So I, you know, I've always strict around you can buy whatever you want, run your PF sense for the businesses we're always using like you said the neck gates and things like that. But one of the differences and serve the home, I was happy they did this in, in when they reviewed one of those, I don't know what to call them. I don't want to call them generic Chinese box choices but that's what they are. They're the Quotoms or all the different brands but they all the same. They're usually four to six ports, industrial design and a really popular. And they were reviewing one that's a two and a half gig one. And the thing that people don't realize is the reason two and a half gig works at all on free BSD is because neck gate wrote the drivers for it. So the money that goes in a neck gate, neck gate has quite a few people that are essentially on staff that write drivers for free BSD not for only use in PF sense. They upstream them to the kernel and everyone who uses it downstream true NAS open sense and PF sense all get the benefit of the code they write on there. That's a big, they're a big code contributor to the drivers that are written. So there is the other business side of it that because neck gate funds that if something ever happens to neck gate it also means something happens to the BSD world because there's nobody else writing a driver. Intel releases Linux drivers but they don't release them for the, they don't care about the BSD world. They're like, well, here's some reference back. Good luck guys. Yeah, see you later. Well, and I don't mind. So with in Canada, if we buy directly from neck gate, it is very expensive just because we're crossing the border and whatnot. So we, who we are something like that and the price is still up there but it's better than trying to buy it off Amazon and you don't even know what you're gonna get. So yeah, hopefully we start seeing more of these devices come in. I was glad to get this because now we can move along with that project. I actually showed that project in one of my videos. I try to do as many onsite videos as I can. I think lots of people like watching those. I know those are my favorite videos to watch on YouTube is people I used to watch somebody called FiberNinja. Everyone did. Yeah, he posted something in his community thing. He's no longer there, but FiberNinja is wicked. Like I love seeing that type of stuff. Infrastructure builds. Yeah. But we put in a 2100 there because that's all we could get. And they wanted an HA pair. So getting 26100 was, I mean, it's still probably impossible to get them. We've been waiting for a very long time. Yeah, the backorder is crazy on all of that. Exactly, yeah. Any experience getting Unified Talk to work through PF Sense? Unified Support is blaming PF Sense for a 10-second dead air at the start of internal calls. So you haven't used Unified Talk? I have not. Okay. So I've deployed it for a few customers in the United States. We don't have it yet in Canada. I do have some Unified Talk videos. That's because I take a SIP number and pretend I'm in California. Anyway, I have set up through PF Sense and we don't have that issue. So they have, they sure were having, the person has way too many phones on the Cloud Key. So they have a 27100s in HA. And I think they have 40 switches and then maybe about 50 access points and then 80 phones all on one Cloud Key which is overloading it. So they're having issues with that. Once we downgrade to 40 or whatnot, their phone calls work great. Like it, I think it's a good voice system. But again, I'm a ubiquity fanboy if nobody has noticed, right? Yeah. There is a lot, there's different systems at their grand stream, FreePBX, things like that that are a lot more advanced. So yeah, you might want to work more with ubiquity on that. Yeah. Ubiquity support is never wonderful. That's actually the niche me and Cody are in is the fact that we know it's not wonderful and we support a lot of. People say, yeah, it's not, their support isn't great. Well, that's awesome. Come to us for consulting, right? Yeah. That gives us work. I think they are starting to do phone support. I see them posting about that, but they're posting a lot of them doing it. It's such a funny because as bad as the ubiquity is it support, Microsoft last I checked has 27 billion cash on hand. They're one of the most profitable companies on the planet. And their support is hot garbage even when you pay for it. So. Support's hard to do on any level. And you know, we actually had a, we had a client that migrated away from Hyper-V because they had paid for some priority support to Microsoft and still never got back with some of the problems. They had some of the craziest problems and we ended up migrating was how we got involved in it. But yeah, the support's hard. It's one of the hardest aspects of it because people have a massively wide variety of environments. And unless you're the technician constantly dealing with deploying it in those environments, you don't have a full understanding of us. This is where ubiquity support can be very tough because ubiquity is a probably only ever testing in a fully homogenized ubiquity environment with everything ubiquity. I would, I would assume kind of like how I test, right? Everything ubiquity. I mean, I've done videos with PF Sense and we deploy a lot of PF Sense, but the, I know they used to have some sort of paid service. I forget what that was called, but they stopped doing that paid service.  It was the elite program, I think, back in the day. Hey, Brandon, get you guys up in the, sure, if we could do that. You're already in the, you're already in the tech knowledge slack, right? I'm in the tech knowledge slack. Yeah, so there, it's a group of a bunch of low voltage professionals. If you've seen my designs of like cabling work, that kind of started off by watching, or looking on Instagram from all green lights incorporated. He uses a very minimal, minimalist, how his racks look. It's just six and trash cables between the switches. It doesn't matter which switches. And that's kind of where I went instead of using these big bulky, you know, cable managers between it. I think you're maybe starting to do that too. I saw in some of it, maybe on your live stream, you were taking some videos of it. Yeah, it just works a lot better, but technology, it's great. If you need to know anything about low voltage or even networking MSP, they have a ton of different sections. I think their Slack is invite only. Yeah, just Brandon sent me an invite. I know you're on my Facebook and we've engaged before, we're on LinkedIn together. Just message me or something. So I'll join that. Yeah, it's awesome. I mean, we just quoted a job for doing shielded armored cabling. I'd never heard of it. And I've been in cabling a long time. So I reached out to them. They gave me a model number of it. And now we're getting the job. But the cabling is like $3,600 for 1,000 feet. Like it's insane. But this is for an industrial building and they're gonna be paying for it. Like it's very hot in there and there's a lot of EMI. So that's why we need the shielding. We've used similar, we have a chemical factory we did and some of the runs because they use caustic stuff. Some of the runs are outside off the sides of their machinery. And even putting a conduit, we still have the, it's not that expensive, but something that was made to withstand more chemicals and stuff like that. Cause there's was an EMI problem. There's just, this stuff's toxic. Don't breathe it. Oh, exactly. It's gonna be, we haven't started the job yet. It looks like a, if you've probably seen BX wire, like electrical BX. It's like that type of armored cabling.  But it should be a fun job. Yeah. Grayson, thank you for the donation. You participated in the IT Pro TV webinar regarding migration from CentOS to all Malinix 8 and you did some migration. Awesome. Migration is always fun. It's always a learning opportunity to go from different versions of links. So awesome on that. Hopefully you're keeping up with your studies. Grayson joins my channel a lot for, he's been pursuing a lot of different network degrees, network certifications and so. Yeah, network certs are always good. I did get a few and then I kind of just stopped. I, to learn, I mean, they are great. You can't say that. If you're not, I still read books. Yeah. And if you're not an industry, I think they're great because you're not, you don't know what you're missing, so to speak. And it's hard to get your foot in the door. So at least having them, you have some working knowledge of things. So I don't discourage people for getting on there. But you know, like your career path, once you got your foot in the door and you started really doing it, a lot of places will hire you on your experience more so than your, but it is hard to get in the door. I would take somebody on experience rather than certs. Like if I am hiring somebody, I'd want somebody with more experience than college degrees and things like that, just because I know that they've been in the field. If reading a book, I had my CCNA, it's changed a lot now. I was doing the CCMP at the time as well. But just reading the book and doing the theory is one thing and it helps out with all your troubleshooting. But going on site and physically doing the troubleshooting is a lot more, or helped me a lot more than the books did for sure. I do see, I want to go roll back a little bit in the chat. I got people from Cyprus saying hello. I always like to see the different countries people are from, we got Sweden. I don't think I've seen Abu Dhabi before. So that's a, I just like saying the word. Abu Dhabi. Yeah, I don't think I, it is interesting seeing where, you know, where people are coming from in your live streams. The majority of mine I would say are US based. Like my Canadian base is very, very low. And then that's just how it is. There's more people in the United States. I'm only 48% right now American for my overall viewership. So it's actually, it's, I have a big international. We have a lot of international clients. So Honduras here, we got South Florida, Germany, Americans and Springfield VA. Yeah. I see somebody saying that feedback from my end. Do you still hear feedback? It's my monitors. I don't usually use speaker monitors. Brett, joining in here. Please send the invite to me. I will get it done for Tom. I think he's responding to Brandon, whatever. That's very true. I forward a lot of things to Brett. Brett, this needs to happen. Brett's awesome at doing it. See, I need a Brett in my, in my business to forward. Everyone needs a Brett. I won't lie. Is it possible to install SSL on the UDM, UDM Pro hosted controller? I'll have a hotel that wants to use guest wifi portable not hosted on my hostify. I'm not too sure. I've never actually done that. I know you can do it on the UDM Pro. So install, difficult install. Yeah, I'm not too sure. I know you could do it on the UDM Pros, but once they're UDM Pro reboots, you have to redo the cert. Yeah, I don't, that's the problem with them. And that's a really basic thing that they literally, for all the effort they're putting in, and we and Cody were just on this before we joined live stream, like with the UID system, they've got all these different things they're building, which is cool.  The Acme cert thing is all open source. You could build that in there and solve this problem that you are by far not the first person to ask about. We get asked about it all the time. Yeah. And there's ways. I'm surprised they haven't. Yeah, it's a really easy feature request that would go a long ways towards people who do want to use the UDM in exactly the fashion that you want to use it here for a guest portal with the SSL. So yeah, there's no way to do it either. Same thing. And I know it doesn't always survive reboots. It's just one of the reasons I'm always avoiding any of those type of consulting work where people go, hey, make a bunch of modifications to the Unified Dream Machine or build a custom JSON file for one of the ubiquity routing equipment because it just doesn't always go well. And it's not an ideal commercial deployment solution because of the support problem. Yeah, I don't touch any JSON files ever. It's not worth my time in the headaches. Like even their Layer 3, I did a video on Access Control List in their Layer 3, but once their switch reboots, then the Access Control List go away, right? So I think they'll probably integrate that eventually into the UI, but that could be years and years out. We never know. Wow, Norway, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Barcelona, oh, Transylvania. I just want to go there just because. Winnipeg, all right, we got some fellow Canadians in here. Perfect. Denmark, Alberta, wow, we got people from everywhere. Liverpool. Liverpool, that's nice, yeah. You don't have to say near Liverpool because I don't even know what is or isn't near Liverpool. I have no idea. I am not particularly familiar with that area. No. Another Canadian. Oh, another Canadian, awesome. Morocco, Ireland, Memphis, Georgia. Ooh, there's so many of them here. A lot of different places. So are you on this stream software, are you able to see how many people are in the chat as well? 152. Oh, OK. Yep. I don't know what. It only lets me see it. I don't, there's, there's no way for me to show that. Jared, no, that's OK. I was, I was just curious. I used to hide my account when I first started because I didn't know if anybody was actually in there. So I'd be talking to myself. No one would be commenting. That's the scariest thing about starting the live stream. You don't know if anybody's in there. Yeah. Yeah, it's really strange. Here's a question. Is it possible to be live migration from one host to another on XCPNG? Well, yes, absolutely. It does support full live migrations. Best captive portal service to use. I always use the PF Sense one. We usually don't use third party ones. Most of my time, I'm telling people not to use captive portal. And I'll give a great business use case here. We had a company that had a public venue that supports up to, I forget, a lot of people can go to a big public place, public events to go down there. And they were trying to do retargeting and marketing. They were kind of an arcade family fund center, retargeting and remarketing based on having everyone go to their captive portal and sign in with their Facebook. So I said, this is a terrible idea. You shouldn't do this. Well, they did it. And their Wi-Fi usage statistics went down to almost nothing. They went from having like, you know, 70, 80, 100 something people on the guest network to next to nothing for people that wanted to use the captive portal because no one wanted to be bothered with it. And unless you're in an area that has no cell phone coverage, no 4G, people will see the Wi-Fi, it'll bug them for something. It'll get stuck. And they go, I never, ever connect to anybody. It's like, if I go to a hotel, I'm not connecting. I just don't want to press. It's one more step that I have to take that I don't want to do. There is somebody called, I haven't looked at his services. I do follow him on Twitter, Art of Wi-Fi. You might know him. I'm not too sure. I think he does a captive portal service. Yeah. There's a couple of people that do them. I haven't used enough to recommend them. The other problem with captive portal is the fact that it's not a, it's a standard, but not. It's not a, so you run into like, oh, all my iPhone users can't connect or all my Samsung with this model can't connect. We, when we've done support for it, it's always been weird problems like that. So if you can avoid it and find another solution, awesome. If not, I, the PSense one works really well. And we do have, we have one client that's got about 4,000 users that hit the captive portal, but it's also a campus. So it's something that's done for the facility and it's how they regulate the internet there. So yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I know I do some venues hosting venues who if they're going to have a wedding or something, they'll want to charge for the wifi and that's why they're using, trying to use the captive portal. I'm like, just give them free internet. You're paying a hundred bucks a month for it. Anyway, who cares? I know, I know, I don't understand that either. People try to, I, we have, we have a couple rental venues that people rent and they're trying to do the same thing. We told them it's a bad idea, but hey, this is how much you charge an hour to get it going for you. Exactly. Brandy wants to know how, how's the Synology Surveillance Station been working for you guys? I'm moving to protect. We love Synology Surveillance Station. And so does this guy right below Travis. He's also a big fan of Synology, but I really like it. I am absolutely just like, I, the, I did my video on like the advanced motion detection and everything else on there. I did the videos, they put, there we go. We'll, I'm going to pull it up real quick, but yeah, you can see how nice it is outside and I want to go outside right now. It actually does look, yeah, I saw, I've watched a couple of your videos. So this does smart detections or is that based on the camera? If the camera does, and then you have the cameras interact with it. So I can actually go through and don't save. We'll go to recordings and filter for different event types for things. So like I want to see driveway and you see how it says like advanced motion event. That's how I know it with the car. So, you know, there's somebody on the driveway. Yeah. I mean, the clear to these cameras, that's my, one of my daughters. She's pregnant. Which camera are you using here? The, this one is the Amcrest. I forgot the model, but if you look at my sound video, I have them all listed there. I haven't, see, that's another, I haven't used Amcrest. I pretty well stuck. I baselineed Unify for the majority of my business for, for cameras anyway. Just for me, the end user, it's a lot easier to describe to them or show them how to use protect foolproof. Whereas Synology is getting there, but if you looked at something like HikeVision, their interface is terrible. I, I'm getting calls every day about it to try to help them. I don't even deal with HikeVision anymore. It's, it's a nightmare to deal with. The mobile app has gotten really good. My wife has no problem using it. My wife is not a technology person. Well, there you go. Oh man, watching her struggle with things is part of my joy sometimes. Yeah. Well, she'd be calling you if anything, right? So you want to make it as easy as possible. Yeah. But the way it determines all the different motion detection types, the notification, the push notifications on the phone and everything else, the time lapse features are really cool. It can do. That was cool. I saw that in the video. That's something that I wish protect had is the time lapse. Time lapse is, it looks awesome. Yeah. So if I say, let's just one backyard, front yard, uh, uh, backyard, so we can actually play back something like this. It's a one minute video, but this video is going to represent, yeah, that's awesome. If I had to do that, I'd have to download the file and then I have to put it into DaVinci and do my time lapsing for me. Yeah. That is really interesting. It's kind of cool to watch when you're seeing things like that. And actually it's kind of cool. If I leave it, it's, uh, it's going to go through day and night cycles and everything else, which is also kind of cool when it does that. So when this is with the new surveillance station, like they had a upgrade. I haven't, I did a video about it probably a year and a half ago and I haven't touched it since I have one camera, a hike vision camera sitting on my, uh, socket. It's not even plugged in right now. I haven't used surveillance station since then. I want to do a few more shout outs here. To Cova, Washington, Oxford, Portugal. Uh, Namco, Namco. I don't even know how to say it. Yeah. And then the name, yeah, I was like, Namco, like games, Texas, South Carolina, Vancouver, South Carolina. Well, another Washington Isle of Man. I have no idea what this, I have no idea where that is either for us. I know Isle of Man is a place. I don't know where that place is. Um, across the Mitten. Yes. Another area of Michigan there. MD, not soft trade. Is that an answer to a question or? Okay. We did capture portal with Air Hive always had issues. Yeah. And Air Hive is a commercially supported one and it's the same thing. It's kind of just buggy. That's the way I would describe it. I just stay away from them. If customers ask, I just say, have a guest network, let them connect, throw out a lemon. That's it. Yeah. I'm going to let this run because it's about to snow. We had, we had a crazy, it went from, it was 71 day till and snow the next. So I'm letting the time left run till that because it's entertaining. I think we probably have roughly the same weather. I don't know how far away you are, probably a few hours. I think only a few hours away.  Exactly. Uh, most of the client clients don't have a URL to redirect to the restaurants ordering system. So they have to pass the connect impact reportable and the redirect. Yeah. That, that's true too. Uh, what do you guys think of the comments on unified feature and unifying the feature of Edge Max? Do you think there are some new devices coming? So I don't think there is. Yeah. Um, it's not abandoned. It's really popular in the WIS market. They know they, as long as there's enough sales to justify it, they keep making the product and it's not. I just did two videos on it. I forgot what they, they're calling it now, though. It's only available in the U.S. It's there. All the switches look the same. The heck was it called again? They are, so it's the UISP switch in the USIP router. And then there, there's another thing in EA right now that we obviously can't talk about, but I don't know if it is a WIS market or WIS market. It is really featureful. But again, I'm not a WIS, so I don't really use it. Yeah. And the Edge switches, I mean, that I see about, they're not bad. They have a lot of features, but the way USIP works is not at all how the Unify controller works. It doesn't have all the same features in it. It's not a bad platform, but it's not necessarily what everyone wants to use. So. Exactly. Yeah. Well, the Edge router X, they came back in stock, I think two weeks ago and they put about almost a thousand of them out. So maybe they aren't giving them up yet. I thought they were completely done. Yeah. But it is, you know, it's one of those things like that. Do you remember the blue WRT 54G?  They just kept selling it because people kept buying it. They're buying it. Yeah, exactly. I remember the talking with a product guy. I remember the interview was on. I think it was like this weekend Enterprise Tech and asked them why they've made that product for so long. They said because the man wouldn't go away. Exactly. We didn't want to sell it, but the people were angry that we weren't. So we just kept selling the product. Oh, and that's, I mean, if I think you do play some video games, but there's a game called Skyrim and they'll just keep selling it because people, they just won't stop buying it. So they're not made. Well, they are making a new game now, but it's been like a decade and they're still selling this game, like thousands of copies of it. But yeah, it's a little, little interesting. The USP stuff, I think it's interesting. I'll probably do some more videos on it, but I'm not a wisp either. So I might be filming some with stuff though. So that would be interesting to do. Yeah, this question comes up a lot. And I thought I'm going to be doing some new videos soon about this, but this is one of my easy answers for say, hey, you want to build a new true NAS, do I use a spare NAS case or buy an enclosure recommended for four or five drives? There's a lot of different options on here. But depending on your budget, one of the places that's easy if you decide you want to enlarge your NAS is just go on eBay, type in free NAS. And that second one here is Unix surplus. Actually, I think I got it. There we go. It's open a new tab. They have all these deals with free with servers that are set up to run and be compatible with that.  But it depends on how just big you want to go with it. I mean, the enclosures are nice and things like that. But you start adding it up and going, huh, that's kind of a lot. Some of these you can get deals with a bunch of used enterprise hard drives in there. And the trick to buying use enterprise hard drives is like, well, don't they have some mileage on? Sure. Look which models are in there. You can probably find extra of that hard drive on eBay for really cheap so you can have some spares. And it's actually a really cheap and inexpensive way to build a true NAS system provided you don't just have all the parts laying around. That's obviously the cheapest way to do it. So that's what I was thinking about buying server and then building or doing some true NAS. I use Synology. But really, that's all I need. I think I have the 1921 XS Plus. It works great for me. I'm sure true NAS works just as well, if not better. Yeah. I'm you ever use Blue Iris? So there was a guy conjoling tech. I don't I haven't seen a video from him in a while, but I watched him do in Blue Iris. They were trying to get me to move to it. I'm not. No, I wouldn't do it commercially. I've seen people because there's some integrations for object recognition and everything else, like some Python libraries you can extend it with. I think they're all in Python. I've seen some cool projects done with it, where it recognizes who walked in the room and has different actions for it. Like this guy's got a really extensive video I watched. It's really cool, but that's it's so intricate to do. It's not something I would want to support for business. So I think it's novel. I think it's a neat product, but it also requires you to run it on Windows, which is part of the no go for me. And honestly, when like the way it's knowledge you works, you set up sounds you submit surveillance station. It's almost set it and forget it. I don't even worry when there's an update. No problem. I can just help to update. It's really easy. I can see it in a dashboard. I can help manage it for the client. Sounds you just is like a better way to do it. But I think for a hobbyist, I don't have any problem with people, especially the tinker who goes, but I want something that has a million bells and whistles. Awesome blue iris and go pretty extensive. If you have time to put into it. Why not? I don't think I'll ever get into it. I don't have the time to play with that. Yeah. Do you use technology active backup? I do. I see there's an option of screenshot verification on backups now. Yeah, post that in the forums. There's there's a bunch of new features rolling out. I'm going to have to cover some of the new things they do. We I have full disclosure. I engage directly with the Synology Tech team because I gave them. We did some like what could we do to make Synology better type of debrief? So I got with their tech team and had some private meetings with them because I said these are the features you're missing. I said I even told a couple of them. I said you could sell so many more boxes, for example, and I pushed them hard on this. If you gave me a central way to manage the backups in a in a very concise way, I said I could sell more Synology. The tools they have now don't allow you great central management for the backups. They do from an individual. They don't support multi tenancy and because we are multi tenant as in we manage many different companies it we have to log in every box individually and that's not a reasonable way to do it. So we've talked about all kinds of things like this so that screenshot. There's a bunch of new features. I was not able to attend but two of my staff just attended a Synology whatever you want to call it. Look at our new stuff. Tech demo day. Sales sales meeting the sales meeting. I usually joined those. I didn't have time. I had a schedule conflict, but so I know there's a bunch of new features. I got to go hang out with the guys in my office and have a debrief on that and they just did that this week. So I will find out all the details.  There's a new stuff with the way Surveillance Station can attach multiple Synologies to one view. So you can actually have more than one Synology running your surveillance station and there's a way to tie all the views together. And by the way I'm testing right now Synology Surveillance Station 9. Everything I just showed a few minutes ago is version 9. So in this version 9 that's beta version that's still in beta on beta. It is rock solid. I have had zero issues with it. It's been as one thing's like about it. They call it beta. I'm calling it. This is easy. We actually do we put this in production because it's so nice that it doesn't seem any problems. It also when we do these you know 30 cameras at a time setups Synology I'm going to tell you it's pain. It's tedious setting up 30 cameras in a Synology because you have to enjoy set them up. The new version version 9 can group setup cameras. You can go here's all the cameras and you can go grab and log them all in and set them all up and do all the configuration for you. They they enhanced a lot of that a new Synology. So I'm excited when it comes out I'll do the video on it. But then again it's it's the pain compared to Unify who's got it dead simple. You plug Unify camera in adopt adopt. Exactly. Easy. For me it's way easier. I'm a one man show. So going and deploying cameras like I do a lot I would do pre-config at home as well before deploying it. So if we had a surveillance station and we're doing that type of job but it uses up a lot of your time when you have to do each camera manually. Oh this is a popular question. You have a wife or printer on VLAN to MD and S enabled but no matter what I can try I can not reach from any other VLAN. Some of the printers don't respect MD and S and that's just it's not a problem with the switching equipment. It's a problem with the printer drivers. They expect the things and devices to be on the same subnet. If they're not they may not work.  Well in the next question will be Sonos. Well can you cast Sonos to different VLAN Sonos is the biggest headache in the world. Yes. If you want to cast do it put your cell phone or whatever on the same network and there you go. And that's it. Yeah. Oh what's opinions you have about open DNS kept to portal open WT versus kept portal. Yeah. We weren't quite done ranting it when this question was asked we don't like it. Exactly. I think we both could agree on that. What would you give any desktop like for for performance monitoring. Nothing. So I don't have any particular performance monitoring widgets on my desktop. I have a fast desktop. But I don't think about the performance of it because it's not slow. So it's not. Didn't you just upgrade your GPU. Yes I did do that. I forget which one I have. I did put a faster GPU. So result. Yeah. I see mine. It chugs along sometimes. I have like an I 7 20 70 something like that. So I may have to build a new desktop shortly. Yep. Ottawa Canada. Six hours away from me done a bunch of work there. Let's see the Atlanta the thumb. So people in Michigan Michigan shape like a hand. So I know the thumb is. That's awesome. If you're if you're overseas if you're in Europe that's confusing. What do you mean when you need to hold your hand. We live here. Exactly part. Canada Canada. Travis. And also we're waiting for Civilization 9 to hit production. It is a lot of type SSS 9. I know what it means because it is a lot of type. I've never actually seen that abbreviation before. Do you have any use cases for true NAS storage for cameras. Not really. And. Well I can't say no. So yes and no. We've done commercial camera systems. Very big enterprise stuff. That had some true NAS servers on the back end with half a petabyte of storage. So there's the exact visions one of them we work with is like the school districts. And we're talking like a lot like four or five hundred cameras. So you're the recording and it's broken up to a series servers. But then they have all these archive and you have to keep data retention for so long. So they'll buy something like a storage server to send it all to because exact vision is not something that runs on. Like a box that's proprietary. It's a licensed software you buy that can run inside a Windows. And then it picks where do you want all your storage targets to be. And then you attach true NAS as a storage target to it. I mean these are like 100 something thousand dollar setups. So this is for all the hardware that runs it beside the camera and everything else. So there. So yes we have but not for home users. If that's what you're that's usually people are asking what's the cool software I can just run on my true NAS. There is not. I think that's called Shinobi. There's a couple of them out there like zone. I think it's zone minder and Shinobi are two of them. But none of them are great. Last time I looked at them they were both very hobbyist projects for running cameras in the open source world. I wish there was a solution for it. I would even put my some money in backing one. But I don't know of one that exists that works that well. So at least my experience. I don't know maybe I'm wrong and someone has one just not found it. So I don't think they're going to spend that type of money for a home lab though. Yeah. Underground for you know surveillance station. Yeah. Here in Cypress most companies it's on Mikrotik. I hate the way it works if you're not configured by SSH. Yeah. It's a learning curve. Mikrotik is not a terrible product or anything. It's a confusing project. And there's a learning curve with it. It's just like when you learn Cisco and you do it all from the command line. You know it's funny because I got those Cisco catalyst 1000s where I use the web UI. The web UI is so broken and bad. Oh it was terrible. I watched it. I was going to buy a couple and I'm like absolutely not. I'm not grabbing. You have to go down to the command line with it. Like Cisco is not good at web interfaces. And yeah there's a learning curve. If you're used to using it of course once you've used Unify and you're like wait I can just pull down and select a port of VLAN. Yeah. I don't have to tag in untag and trunk and allow. No. So but for people that do that the purists some of my older friends.  They don't think networking should have been made that easy. They they were in my old Cisco friend. He he's a diehard no matter what Cisco guy. He does all the enterprise Cisco of course. And he's like there's it shouldn't be that easy to do that. It's the way it's going and I mean when I first started an enterprise banking it was all command line. I was doing all Cisco stuff but this it's just way easier and people could learn it a lot better. If we're running short on network engineers I mean this is the way to push them. Yep. Containerization solution is not really we don't do a lot of devops container stuff like in terms of videos. So it's not like J from learning CVA that he has some videos on Docker. Jeff Geerling has videos on Docker. So there's other YouTubers techno Tim's got videos on a lot of different things like pod man and everything else. So there are people covering it's just not my niche. It's not what I do every day. And for them it is actually a lot of what they do every day. That's why they're covering it. That's actually a lot of my channel and Cody's as well is we're covering things we do all the time because it becomes hard and me and Jay from learning CV we've talked about this before. The hardest videos to make are when you listen to the audience too much because you think they want something but it's not what you do. So now you have to spend a lot of time learning something that you don't normally do and it makes the video way harder to make compared to our other content. So I stick with things I'm my channels are reflection of things I actually do we consult on XC PNG. So yes, I got lots of virtualization videos. Boy, we do a lot of true NAS work. We're a partner with IX systems. So we do a lot of that we're a partner with 45 drives. So there's a reason you see me talking about those servers and it comes natural to me to answer question where a analogy partner and reseller for analogy. So and we're deploying them all over the place. So you know once again that's why I do videos on it. Anything that No, no, I not at all. I watch techno Tim all the time and that's enough for me. It's really he does really interesting videos but I'm not getting into that. Like you said, it takes way longer to create those type of videos and the people, the audience coming back. I mean, it's going to be one tenth of the views I get. Yeah. Are you using full unified stack for any clients? Do you make some match now? I've mentioned before that I make some match but Cody does run a lot more of them that he does. Yeah. So it depends on my clients. A lot of my clients are just small business. So we'll do UDM Pro. We don't do that. See right now because that see isn't here. UXG maybe down the road. I think it's overpriced for what it is. But yeah, we do a full unified sex or we do PF sense with unified switches and unified AP's. Yeah. Brad, thank you for the 699 Canadian donation there. It's enjoying watching time and Cody's back to the sonos stuff. Yes. Yeah. I bought a sonos one to do troubleshooting on to try to get it through B lands. And there was a way but it was like having to open so many ports and like it's not worth it. Yep. Do you do pen testing on your own network? I do. But for professional reasons I still have my more professional and friends I will pay to do this. Yeah. Exactly. I've had paying because you never see your own typos your own thing you overlooked. I actually will I have enough staff that they bounce around on things and I my staff will play games and say can you get to this? Can you laterally move? I'm going to give you access to this network and later. So we do this as a mental exercise for my staff to keep me on my toes. I always don't find things I did wrong guys. Nothing's more fun than proving the boss wrong. So just put it on YouTube. You'll find out really quick. People are open DNS quad nine. You didn't have the right answer in there. So what's my preferred DNS server? Quad nine. If you want to learn more about quad nine search my channel and I've done two really good interviews with the people from quad nine including and I need to do a follow up on it to see how their lawsuits going. It's it's really crazy that they're being sued for doing DNS. It's a wild story. I haven't read that. Yeah. Did that just come out a few months ago and screw you that. So let's see. London, Ontario. That's not too far away. That's two and a half hours. Yeah. I did buy myself a Timmy's coffee. Do you guys have Timmy's down there? Oh yeah. We love. Okay. You used to Timmy's was never in the United States and then it started going into New York and then you know it's a US company now I believe. Yeah. I was King bottom. Yeah. And unfortunately with the labor shortages we have none of them are open anything. They're only open for a few hours in the morning and that's it. They are. Oh wow. Yeah.  So I don't know if they're going to change that this summer but a lot of them merged when they have an ice cream store in the front and then the back is a Tim Hortons and I like it. I can go get coffee and ice cream place. Cold stones. It's always open and there's 100. There's one on every corner. Yeah. I love their Tim Hortons coffee like more than Starbucks. It's way better than Starbucks coffee. I'm a big fan. Not cheaper too. That too. It's cheaper and better. Exactly. Alexi. Cola morning from the Land Down Unders. So yes from Australia. Awesome. I'd like to go there just not deal with any of the spiders. That's pretty much what I don't want to walk into. The place where recommendations for network monitoring software. I guess you would need to define that probably a little bit better. But you can I've been a big fan of Xavix to monitor endpoints. But it does so with all this can get tricky monitoring networks with SNMP Xavix is more agent based. I guess it depends what kind of network monitoring you're trying to do. There's just pinging and uptime. There's with Unify you can monitor with the Unify that's Unify makes it really easy. The one thing they did take out and then they reatted back in was device disconnects for their APs. Yeah.  And we need to know if their AP goes out. So we had to install some other monitoring software. I'm glad they put that back in though because it works flawlessly when it wasn't. Yeah. Tom do you use Nvidia or AMD Radon for your GPU? I have an Nvidia I have never had problems with Papa West that works great with Nvidia. So Nvidia and Papa West are friends because Papa West has a special version just for Nvidia. You can it has all the extra drivers right from the go in it. So you don't have to do anything but install it top talkers high bandwidth how do you hunt them down on P of sense and top and top and G is the easiest way the simple way to is you can use dark stat is also a plug in DOS top PNG just a video on I'm not a video on dark sex it's not worth doing a video but it's a it's also a add-on for P of sense is one of the application add-ons of the words alluding me right now where you go and you add more features so the P of sense plug-ins essentially. So see DSM 7 when it was popped. Oh yeah you can mainly update to 7.1 but it's not I don't think it's officially well it's out too slow releases on it one of my machines said I got 7.1 my other ones don't so I'm waiting well I remember when the the initial DSM 7 came out my 1621 XS plus that didn't have it for like two and a half months or something like that and my 418 did I'm glad I'm glad it does because DSM 7 is way better someone says were you based out of I am based by Toronto if I'm 40 minutes outside of Toronto we do a lot of work like I'll do work within eight hours of me outside of the job Timmy Hoes for a few decades you see my morning drive to work because I mean I remember the first Timmy Hoes that opened and I used to have a short drive to my enterprise job I did and they open a Timmy Hoes in there I only had three miles to drive each day but I was so thrilled every morning to grab that when it opened up like so it's if you don't get there super early though lineups are where I live anyway it's insane it will take you 30 minutes to get coffee it says go to you do the installs yeah so it's we do a lot of break fix I haven't got into the MSP space and I don't know if I'm going to but if it's a full unified stack yeah we will we'll do monitoring for it and we'll manage the networks for them we have quite a few companies around the world that we they just buy bank or block of hours from us and we'll do whatever they need yeah and Travis says Domots is one of the other ones I was trying to think of yes I have used that yeah I haven't used it but I know a lot of people do yeah it's paid service it works good I mean yeah nothing wrong with it someone I like you see if you just keep saying and umming I do this in podcasts because you'll hear podcasts say something like oh I'm sure they'll be trying to think of a word but you're not interacting with them the best thing about live streaming interacting people so people know is called extensions and more specifically it's called package that's right yes yes yeah I'm looking at that's cool actually it's pretty you could see I could see on my right-hand side that it highlights the questions that you're looking on too that's awesome oh yeah cool and someone did mention this so let me do this throw this on here yes there are 200 195 someone left and only the internet funny number of 69 likes 69 exactly as much as I'm happy that it's an internet funny number go ahead and click some more of those we need more internet numbers you need to try to get it as close to the concurrent viewers as possible yeah so that's always a goal click on there because we my life is dictated by the YouTube algorithm so exactly it is for sure so we got to have at least a few more likes on there that we know people this is good content exactly I've seen people smash the like button you smashed it already I guess you got to update this too this is a project this is eating I saw that before when you first did you do a full video of it or did you just you just showed it on live stream right yeah yeah I just showed it on live stream and it's really cool because it's not plugged in right now it's just a raspberry pie on the back of this I actually bought one after you you showed it and I haven't touched it yet it's sitting in my door back here I probably should it is cool it looks cool I need to get I don't know where to put it I thought I'd put it it's plugged in the wall and it just auto updates so you could probably put it like on those panels that you have are those foam panels are they hard foam panels okay yeah they're actually they're not which ones are in view these ones are in view okay there's no squish one there's no give oh so you should be able to do it in there I was thinking about well I want to move this office downstairs because it gets extremely hot upstairs but our basement's unfinished but I would like to build a studio I really like those panels that you have yeah I have them all linked to my kit.co for my Amazon I have all the parts all the different ones I used because even if you I did that quick tour video but if you have questions let me know I'm always on the share pictures of it but what I'm looking at this way which helps stop a lot of the echo so I have those but then there's a there's a auto mute is the name of the company that makes a big blanket that absorbs echoes and it hangs from there because it's so quiet in here my yeah this is really my kids in my way from down here and I think it's novel well you need it when you're doing videos like this office is so small that I did have I don't know if you see my videos a long time ago but I had on my door over here just cheap foam pads from Amazon it looked and it did nothing for the sound because I had it facing the wrong way yeah what is this person asking I was recently able to find cheap APs with AC or home use ones without AC and GE cheaper went to Chinese brand and filtering of funny traffic with a micro tick behind it yeah probably I mean if you can't get the what do you call it the Unify TP link they're kind of they're coming they're pretty well they just came out with an update maybe two months ago that added quite a bit more I think they're missing mdns and a few other things on TP link but they're cost effective and it works yeah my worry about them is their long term support plan I don't know where it's at they I've had people tell me that they are not on top of support I just don't use enough of them to tell you yes or no like do they end to life things someone had commented like with the log for J they were slower to fix it I didn't because there's a new version or now of the foundation so it's really hard to figure out like I know they have it fixed now did they have it fixed immediately I think it took them about a month and a half to fix yeah which you know that's not good at least there's other companies who jumped on it that week for that day whereas you know TP link you want to make sure that those patches are out immediately but they're not dedicated to it TP link is a company because they make so many different things they're like a lot of the Chinese brands that or Chinese companies that do things like that they just kind of look at what's in the market can we copy it can we make it a little bit cheaper what's the you know can we make money on it and they're good at that but it doesn't always lead to the best product it may just lead to a less expensive product out there so ugly they're bad they are ridiculously big I gave mine away I didn't even want them here anymore just because they were taking up so much room TP link easy to buy perfectly good for non-managed networks for media converters their hardware's been rock solid but firmware's totally outdated never updated yeah that's the same thing because we even had what was that one attack on Wi-Fi I can remember it was called crack attack people found a way to inject certain packets to start renegotiating the handshakes that would let you collect enough handshakes to potentially get in that took some patching unified was on top of that patching so was a lot of other companies was TP link I don't know I wasn't using them that was a few years ago but that's a big concern for people oh exactly like even their latest update was out two months ago they need to be well maybe they don't need to be pushing out way too many and then they're broken yeah I would have been surprised if they had Log4j configured it in the way that exposed the issue actually I'm not surprised at all that they did because the way it was configured in Unify was if you had your Unify controller public facing there were exploits they weren't released immediately but the proof of concepts did exist that showed how to exploit it and because they copied very much so Unify if whatever reasons Unify had for doing it using the Log4j to pull the logs and use that as part of the logging facility function inside of the Unify controller undoubtedly they just did the same thing I wouldn't so they patched it now are they even big enough that they made the CVE list or anything like that I don't know and it became that's where things can get confusing when you talk about stacking all these products together so this is an interesting question because I will answer for you are you guys going to any events this year I will first answer that I will be at Penguin Con this Saturday speaking Friday and Saturday I am going to be at Black Hat Vegas and I'm going to be in Channel SMB Chicago on May 4th and 5th so I have at least a couple places where you'll find me but those aren't necessarily just I mean those are kind of a variety of events I don't know but I'll probably be doing a few more my goal this year how about you I don't even know what events I would go for VoIPMS reached out to me yesterday about some local event in Vaughn so Vaughn's about 40 minutes away from me I haven't answered back yet I don't even know what the event is I may go I've never done in person things before and they want to do like a sort of interview type thing so I might go to that but outside of Canada I don't even know what we would have in Canada to be honest and traveling right now we'll see we'll see if I can go now so that's especially because for you the events being the U.S. you got border crossing issues to deal with so yeah and well in Sunwing like if you're ever trying to go on a Sunwing plane you could see right now they're currently down and people are waiting in the airports for a week yep yeah and that really screws things up when you're trying to plan to go somewhere and all of a sudden you know it's down so it would be interesting to go to there yeah open source summit North America I don't know where that is feel free to tag me on Twitter though because I might I don't know if they're going to hold this year but like I did Ohio Linux Fest because it's only about a couple hours away from me so I've done that I've done that before in the past a couple times too so yeah hit me up I mean I'm still trying to figure out for some of the um have a 30 inch curve MS My Game Monitor cost me 600 heart shipped Kelly you fixed shipping with 550 sorry to hear that thank you for the donation Ed but yeah you know with the curve monitors because I happen to have a 49 inch one next to me and I like them but one thing I've always done I've got the boxes we actually I bought them for my staff and me and we've got the boxes in in my without the box so I didn't throw the box away because shipping is expensive but also packaging is hard on those so I've been thinking about getting a curve monitor I use three monitors in front of me right now and it takes up so much room yeah uh notice your analogy NASA stampede you run SSDs or 7200 I have 7200 RPM drives um but I don't I think I have eight gigs of RAM in it so it's an RS1 221 it's still the same there's nothing about it different now including the drives then when I did the review because I did the review and then I used it um for a bunch of lab stuff and then I took it and stuck it in my house to run my cameras so it's the same unit it's the AMD based one too which kind of cool it's kind of noisy it's a nice rack mount but it's a little noisy oh yeah uh suppliers remove the underlying class but the log4j package in place yeah there's there was all kinds of um as I will quote my friend Jason said this morning monkey fixing going on and uh there was basically a lot of poor fixing and actually we'll go a step further I tweeted a meme out let me find it because it's funny um there's too many tabs open over here but uh no I tweeted a meme out because I was laughing about this let me pull it up real quick because of all people who shouldn't be monkey fixing things these people were a little company might have heard of called Amazon and uh they're AWS they fixed log4j with an automated hot fix and someone realized that they didn't validate if the process was actually log4j or something calling itself log4j and when it runs someone found a way to escape the hot fix automation tool to get a higher level of privilege in AWS so they actually were able to create a file that looked like log4j created an application running that looked for it the hot fix would come around going oh I need to fix you and then it would take over the process great security research brilliant but also really you guys weren't validating and this is recent this is this is yesterday this is covered that the system did this and what AWS is doing um to is building automation that way if I set up something insecure today they have a hot fixer it runs around monkey patching and um someone found well I could exploit the hot fixer so multi-billion dollar company yeah it's kind of funny because this it needs been fixed with security research not actively exploited but still really interesting mm-hmm uh best option for managing wired clients on a dream machine limit wired client to X percent of the internet bandwidth not really an issue that comes up um no there is a way limit uh I forget if it's the egress or ingress but you can't do both like you can't do it like on your Wi-Fi where you say 10 megs that's it per client uh the wired doesn't work that way nope it doesn't have an option for that you can do it with the Wi-Fi you can't do it client but it's also something that ever really comes up it well I I say I can't say never it comes up in comments on YouTube all the time and it comes up in my forums and is it all and no if you have a more advanced firewall it'll do limiting per per IP and things like that with the firewall level so not many people ask about it no I don't think I've ever set it up in production once I did a video about the wired rate limiting um but it really was just the one way that you could do yeah um people saying how much they love those curved monitors they are great thanks I get from the states I I just get the gift cards so I'll probably end up getting a curved monitor I don't know what else to buy with it I love it once you go with a curve one you're like oh you need to yeah because right now I know this drives the internet crazy I have three different monitors three different sizes so people go nuts about that probably I'll take a picture of it and then people go crazy yeah who's annoyed by this um technically technically they're all I think the the it's been blind it's it blurred is the word I'm looking for the market has been blurred a lot because pretty much all of it's software defined now it's not it's unified even renamed there's it's called the unified SDN software defined networking controller but most of this is software defined anymore uh with the networks there's not like this in not that it ever wasn't some software running inside of there but there were people who called them using before it was PFSense it was monowall before monowall I also I didn't use monowall much I'd use another one called IP cap and another software called endian so people said oh you're weird using these software defined firewalls so I'm like well there's software running on your Cisco device and so it's still software defined in some way it's felt like more of a marketing term so yes we're very close to the end up going that way eventually I know they've tried and it's just well you see with your Cisco videos it's just terrible yeah their their management plain for it is difficult and if you've ever touched any of Cisco firepower stuff that's yeah I was when I first started my YouTube channel they reached out to me I had to become channel partner and all that and I just decided not to it was just too much of a headache to try to even get a firewall and really if I wanted to try it daughter. So I see she's got her profile picture with some cute dogs. My cousin's dogs are specific. Do you have any animals? I do not. Okay. I love animals. And that's why I don't have them. I am a person who I'm bouncing around too much. And I wouldn't have if you have an animal, you have to give it the level of attention it needs. So I am an animal lover who realizes that in my present state, I am not able to give it the time it would deserve. Therefore, I don't have them. But I visit people based on the fact that they have pets. Perfect. But my wife, my wife wants to go to her friend's house. I'm like, do they have a dog? If I don't know if you have a dog, because I don't really want to go meet a new person, but I'll meet a new dog or a new cat. I'm perfect. Yeah, animals are a lot easier to talk to and deal with than human. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I dogs like for me, I want a dog but my schedule, I can't do it. Dogs need a lot of attention. Dogs need a lot of attention. I would have a cat, but current wife does not like cats. My ex wife like cats. But current wife is not a she just doesn't like cats in the house. Well, once you get one, you just bring it home. It will grow on her cats are same same with my wife. It was the exact same thing. Now we have to sign these cats. I want to buy another one not going to happen. But cats are just so low maintenance and they're weird. And they're awesome. Yeah. Best local DNS combination with UDM pro local DNS. I mean, if you're going to use local DNS, you probably use the UDM if not use quad nine quad nine's got points of presence all over Europe. So let's see. Oh, here's what here's the question. It always pops up. New hot sauce recommendations. I can't do that. No, it's not you. No, I mean, Frank's hot sauce too hot for me. I'm not I'm terrible with spice. I do I like spicy food. But yeah, I'm not going with really hot. It's it's funny because it's not for it's not for everyone. It's my when I was pulling up the cameras, my daughter's on the was in the camera there. She Oh, man, she thinks peppers too spicy. Like she doesn't like pepper on things. So it's really weird. Yeah, here I am like eating all the different really, oh, really hot sauce. Yeah. Current wife plans to change. Not too old. You know, I have wife 1.0. And then now I'm on wife 2.0.  So there you go. It's a good relationship. Good relationship. I'm fine. I don't nah, she's she's all right. The first one. Not so much. No, no. That's fun. Let's see. Have you seen the new I just released a video on it, but they released a release channel unify controller. So that you may be well, I know you don't use their routers, but now they have teleport, which is back in by wire guard. Yeah, they don't have full wire guard support yet, though. But I don't know if you follow Marcus, one of their security. Yeah, I retweeted. He said it's gonna be a future release, which I thought was cool. But we'll pull that tweet up real quick. So here's the thing. Make sure. Alright. Where does that tweet go? Because this is the part. Where did he say that? There we go. No, I can share that screen. I think I got to zoom it in. There we go. We will support wire guard in the future. That's the exciting part right there. Stand alone. Yeah. Yep. Stand alone. I haven't used the teleport yet because I think the teleport, you have to be at an EA version, which I was for the video, but we can't talk about that stuff. I'm not even too sure how teleport will work. But I know a lot of people want the standalone wire guard in ubiquity. Yeah. It here's the thing that drives me nuts about ubiquity to some extent is we know the product supports it because there's third party things you can find a github that modify the functionality and give you the things you're looking for. Yep. If some third party hobbyist can write it, why can't the people making the product? That's the part always like. Yeah. Especially when it's it's just there. It's got the processor support. You've already built it into the kernel, which of course, is some foreshadowing that they're going to eventually have full support for it. But here we are. And we're tied. I think they're getting a lot better. That's my opinion with with just the release notes that they, you know, I saw today, it looks like they're getting a lot better. But then again, they've been it's been taking years for them to do a thing like if site to site VPN, it's auto sec, IP sec, whatever they call it. And that was really easy to get your USGs in a site to site. You just click both sites. With the UXG, they don't support that, which for me was a big selling feature for UXG. But since it's running on Unify OS, it's the same thing as UDM pros. So they haven't implemented that yet, which I think they're they need to get done. Yeah, like why why wouldn't you do that? And of course, WireGuard is wonderful for site to site. So why not build on it? Like, it's great, I've got I got to do an updated video, I just refer people to Christian McDonald's video, he's one of the developers at next gate. But we're using actively, with a few people, Unify site to site, I mean, I'm sorry, PFSense site to site with WireGuard, it's just a great protocol the way it handles things. And it's quiet, it's fast. I did my demo on the 4100 showing you how fast WireGuard works on it. Yeah. So I haven't tried WireGuard yet. And I don't know why I haven't. I did see your video, though, with the speeds for the 4100, it looks it looks promising. For sure. Yeah, it's it's so substantial. It's like, here's your little 200 210 with open VPN. Here's your 800 with WireGuard on a dual core atom processor, essentially. Exactly. Brandon Weber says looks like QNAP dropped the ball again. Another critical Apache bug. Yeah. Now, the question is, will they have a patch for it? Or are they just saying, can you turn this off to we maybe in a few weeks get around to it? Probably what's gonna happen. Yeah. I don't know. I've just never liked QNAP. I've never went with QNAP. I've never touched any QNAP devices. Yeah, so do you use any local free PBX? We don't do that much free PBX. When we do it, we usually it's an on-prem server. Chris from Crossox Solution, he does a lot of hosted three PBX. So he's got all the answers on that he's the free PBX expert. As far as I'm concerned, it's free PBX is so much to learn. We started down the path a little bit of learning it more. I dropped it. I said, I've got time for this. I don't have enough staff for it. And it's the cart before the horse. The demand seems to be there for people wanting it to train someone on it and is is a big learning curve. And then you have to have enough clients to justify why you train someone on it. And yeah, Chris is good at it. He's got a whole team of people. And Chris has worked specifically in the voice industry for a number of years, even before he started Crossox Solutions. So yeah, Christian Crossox Solutions is your free PBX person ask questions at. Yeah. People loving WireGuard on PF Sense. See, I need to do some new videos on it. Because one of the things someone asked me about because I don't open ports for my Synology. What I do is I have WireGuard on my phone. And that's one of the things WireGuard does just an amazing job is pull it up on your phone. And so you're remotely viewing your your cameras. Okay, it works so nice. Because you just turn it on.  I like everything locked down as much as possible. But I do expose the Unify for the customers that they'll use the Unify's automated system. I figure what it's called the the Kinect system that built into Unify. We'll set that up for clients and it works well. I think it's adequate but it's also we like if someone says, Hey, I'd like to run my file server. And I'd like to get a Synology. And then they later go, Hey, I'd also like to have a camera system. We won't put it on the same server. We're like, separation separate it. Yeah. Oh, you're thinking about their remote access. Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, they're cloud access. That's the only way you can view the cameras remotely. You have to have that on you can't VPN and to view your cameras. It doesn't work. If you're using the protect app, if you were going to talk about the a Synology one. Oh, Synology. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I know Synology. You can do that. But yeah, remote. Yeah. But no, you're right. Unify you have to use their cloud connect. Yeah, if you want to use the protect app, you have to use it. Unfortunately. Yep. Yeah, they make that annoying. Yeah, yeah. I know that's been requested for a long time to be taken out of the announced some mitigation but no patch. That sounds about right. That's a machine. We're going to have a couple more weeks. We'll eventually get around to it. I actually I seen Wendell from level one texts, he did a video on swapping QNAP to TrueNAS and I haven't watched it yet. But I know that it can be done. Someone else commented you can load on Raid on it and I thought that was cool too. So you have options like they don't make bad hardware. They just are so lack luster in their support for their software.  You know, they want they they reached out to me and I thought about buying one of their switches. They reached out to me want to meet SC5's and her switches. I said, I don't like her. I didn't you know, I was thinking of my head. I didn't say this in the email. I'm like, I don't care much for your QNAP devices, but I'll review a switch. And I said, yeah, I'd like to review it. No worries. Nothing. And then I think they reached out to me too. And it was the same thing. This was this was a long time ago though. But what's funny is a different person from QNAP reached out to me and started the same conversation and I replied the same way and they didn't reply either. So that's weird. Yeah, I wonder why they wouldn't want to you think with all their security issues, they would probably want to get some reviews out there videos at there with saying some good things. I'm sure you would have mentioned the security issues though. Yeah. And I this is before I did the video where I just dumped on them where I said QNAP sped path of security. And I don't usually you rant videos like that. But one, I feel it's a public service announcement. Two, I did it to answer the volume of people asking, hey, Tom, what do you think about QNAP? Here's my thoughts on QNAP. It's easier doing a video. It's easy to text me like going into the comments and it's just you to you've said it before YouTube comments are the worst to try to sort through. Yeah. Any good solutions back up knowledge to another analogy? Yes, you can back up analogy to Synology. You can back up to Synology to S3. Their hyper backup system has actually gotten better and better over the years to do everything. And they finally I don't know when they added this has been there for a little bit. But one of the aggravations with Synology was when you did hyper backup, you couldn't back up surveillance station settings separately from the videos.  Oh, there was some trickery you had to do now. It's just a checkbox for backup. Everything about my because I actually have my strategy on a regular backup for all the different things that are configured on it. But you can check a box that says don't back up the videos because they're too big. So they go off site through an S3 connection that actually lands on a true NAS server. And because it's all the entirety of that sounds if that sounds completely explodes, I can restore it to another Synology. I can restore it. I just type in hyper backup. I connected to the S3. I pulled the data back. And then even the cameras, everything will be configured. So if I just replace this knowledge, everything will be completely set back up. But we do this for our clients too, for the same reason, because if I go to a site and I deploy 40, 50 cameras, that's 40, 50 cameras to set up. And if this knowledge you dies, I need to be able to restore the Synology, I can replace it. But if it literally destroys and some catastrophic fire or whatever, I still don't want to have to reset up all those cameras. If I can replace it. So it makes it a lot easier to do now. Yeah, I use I use hyperbackup just backing up my stuff here, my YouTube videos and stuff. And it works great. Hyperbackup and their C2 service. Yes, their C2 service is nice too. Have you reviewed the new AdTran switches? Not AdTran. I don't even know what AdTran is. I don't think I've ever heard of that. AdTran, I imagine they make some, I've not known them as a switch company. They made some switches. They make some enterprise equipment. Most of the time I've seen them as their access devices for man, AdTran used to make all the T1 termination stuff.  Oh, yes. Yeah, now without you say that. I know AdTran not by the switches though. Yeah. So yeah, AdTran is more of a okay. Yeah, in the US, make sense, make sense. Do you have any upcoming videos on site jobs? Ooh, yeah. That's soon. I have a couple huge projects we're working on that are going to get delivered soon. Oh, by the way, it's 419. I am going to wind this down here. Yeah, no problem. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. But I have, this has been a fun project, but it's also been a, the drywall guys disappeared project. So when the drywall people disappeared, the entire project got a monkey register in it. Exactly. And it's about 300 something drops. So it's a good size job. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, that's huge. We're down to the punching down part, but everything has been so changed and things like that. I love doing the onsite project jobs. Let me see if I have any photos of this one. I think I may have. It just takes forever to film. Like yesterday I did it, I was going to release the video today of a small onsite job just cable cleanup and putting in a UDM Pro and a switch. But it takes forever to get video footage of it. And people want to see every little detail and, you know, they want you to make it two hours long. And that's just not possible, especially when the customers iron timelines. Yeah, I don't have any photos from that job. I have them in a message that was sent to me, but I don't have any in any other way I could share 300 tables. I mean, that's that's that's a decent sized job. That takes a while to do. Yeah. Yeah, we do a lot of a lot of projects we do are pretty big. I just don't, well, matter of fact, but one of them was weird. We had to. So my client owns the buildings. They're huge. And if this project we were doing, actually, you know what, I do have to, we're going to be back at where we're going to be. Where's that? Here we go. Share this to have instead. Someone's got to go climb up that tomorrow. That doesn't look fun. I see I would never do that. I'm not a hides person. Really, really tall. Looks really tall and a little rusty. It's a lot rusty. And it's not a shot. Sure. Yeah, it's not particularly safe. What's going on there? You're just installing some cable up it. Yep. I have a zoomed in photo. So you can see here.  There's a zoomed in photo. We got to replace that. Oh, wow. That thing is up there. This is my next zoom to be able to see how far up that is. That's been there for several years. We put that in like 2017 probably. And then you need a new one right there. So that one died. So we got to climb that long. It's a tower's big. So that's when you get the new guy to go up with his harness on and remove it. I couldn't do it. I wouldn't do that. This needs special training. You know, you get nailed by OSHA. I will very carefully state a couple of things here the way OSHA works. You could film yourself. You could take a picture of yourself. You could also find yourself in said picture doing something that OSHA could find a problem with and get a fine for it. Even if it's years later. So you sometimes have to be very careful on what you film. But oh, don't worry. I have completely OSHA certified people with proper safety harnesses all attached to this going up in here. There we go. There's I don't know if we have OSHA in Canada. I know we have, you know, some legal forms, but we have a sort of, you know, latter certifications and stuff like that working at heights, things of that nature, which yeah, I wouldn't be climbing that tower. That's not for me. Yeah, I, I got to finish this. This project's finished. I just need to do it. This is all for camera feeds. These are XLR feeds that. Yeah, I remember seeing something about that. That looks that's a is that a baseball field or something like that. Soccer, but yes soccer field. Yeah, that's really cool. So that one's finished. I got to assemble the video on that one to make it something coherent. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, so will you be just doing video and then like overlays of your voice onto it? I'm going to do all VO on it because yeah, I didn't film a lot. It's hard, like, and that's what I'm doing. I'm doing voiceovers on this next video because I just one, there was only a couple of people in the office and I didn't want them hearing me talk to myself in the room and think I'm weird that way. But the onsite jobs, they're great to see. And that's why that's why I miss seeing fiber ninja. I wish more people would do infrastructure build up videos. But for us, it takes forever. Yeah, and one of the things I'm going to scroll down a little bit here and show you, I just got to scroll down a share, make sure I'm not sharing it. I'll bring it up again. So we were at this warehouse and this turned into I was always cool with people, but they maybe delete something off my phone that I took a picture of. Wow. And have aggravated me, but I'm the gold look with the money we're being paid. The last thing I want is to cause a headache to someone. Exactly. And so I deleted it. But where did that photo go? The ones I can show you that didn't get deleted. This is the scale and scope of the warehouse for it. I mean, these things are there. Yeah, I'm going to ask you if it's Amazon warehouse. And I can't say whose warehouse this is. But it is the same company that built the Amazon warehouse next door. So it's the same score footage as the Amazon distribution centers. My client owns all these. Oh, wow. So what we have to do is there that we were setting up all the new stuff in this warehouse. We had to go through one of the occupied, but my client owns we have permission to be in each warehouse. But I took a picture of us running the cable across the occupied warehouse to get from point A to point B, do two people security guard come up to me for taking a photo and we're like, this is a restricted area that you didn't know about. Yeah. And I'm like, I take a picture of the guys up there. I pointed it up. They said, Yeah, there's still things you might have taken a picture. Can we see your phone completely compliant with them? And I deleted the stuff off. I said, don't worry, didn't back up to the cloud. I said, I'm cool with you guys. I said, I'm just here documenting our job. And they were cool with it.  But it's one of those things where some of these facilities we do work in, they're cool, but they're really hard to film in at all. We can film this one because there's nothing in this one yet. So this one we have permission. But because we had to traverse the occupied building to get to the next building, because these are like fiber lines and long runs between buildings. So so are you doing? Is this just for like access points? Or is it full structured cabling structure cabling? We're putting everything in. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, we build them out. So when the clients move in, they have everything built out. So we've got drive a picture of it. No, I don't. Oh, maybe somewhere. I can show the picture of this room. We we're able to go to the counter room. This is where everything starts for each one of the locations. It's funny because of how big the warehouses are, but this is the feed that starts each one of them. And then there's another distribution for each one after it tears off of this. Okay. Yeah. It's and that's your main. That's not your main rock there. Or is it that it this is because this is all the fiber and everything comes in to this little room and then hide it between the companies that subdivide up the thing. Then they get their feeds and build their offices inside there. And then they build another rack where their servers are because this is just a feed to get internet to each place. Oh, okay. So your presence for your internet. I see 66 block there, which scares me. Oh, I know that's old, old school stuff that I never want to work on again. Yep. So yeah, there's all the 66 block stuff. And then we put the special equipment we needed here where their fiber runs come in and yeah. I mean, it's fun seeing these type of projects. It's it's even more fun. I build all mine out myself. I do have some other people help me with it. But you run into some issues where you just want to stop pulling cable eventually, but something like that when it's wide open and it's a brand new install.   But it's really when the clients we have, it's just a restricted thing. We have several automotive industry related clients and boy, they don't want our cell phones out. Some of them even collect cell phones and put them in a box. They're like, when I used to do work for the one of the steel manufacturers, that was one of the rules.  You get it when you walked back out. Like, oh, there's no games being played. We want to make sure that your customer, like if you are filming, you got to ask your customers. There are people who don't I see people on my Instagram all the time, taking pictures inside data centers. And I know for a fact, you're not allowed taking pictures inside data centers. So they may eventually get in trouble. But it is hard getting, you know, your customers to approve it because they don't want their infrastructure shown or their devices that they're using. Yeah, you know, in the last things I'll leave with before we wander off because I debated if I should do a video on this. Hey, let me know if I should do a video on this people in the comments here. Linus tech tips got robbed of $90,000 in the scam. The way that scam worked was not what people think people when they seen it, they assume Linus had clicked a link, he got fish fish or whatever, but it wasn't. So he had a contractor he hired to do his landscaping work, his landscaping work. If you've seen some of his videos, he's building a new house. And his landscaping work is $90,000. So it gives you an idea of the kind of house line this is building and how much YouTubers of his scale get paid. But back on topic. What had happened was the contractor, the landscaper did a quote for him. Then he's got the quote, he's going through the build process of his house. They contact him and said, we got a deal for you. If you prepay the $90,000, we will give you a 10% discount. Some type of discount was offered. So he goes, Well, I have $90,000 and I'd like to have $9,000 extra. So 10% discount sounds like a great deal. Where do I send the money? And as Canadian, he's, you know, in Canada, Canadian company, he wired the money to a Canadian bank. All seemed good until he found out the contractor had their email and invoicing system compromised. So because they had been in their system, he thought he was doing with the contractor because the emails were coming from the proper domain. They were not spoofed. They, they had their email compromised. And it's funny because I thought about doing a video about this because one, I deal with cybersecurity to this happens all the time and nobody knows about it. And then three, my first ticket this morning, construction company gets compromised. Since my client and invoice my client has process and procedures in place that when they get an invoice, especially if it's any confusion, phone calls are met. The construction company got compromised and was sending fake invoices, small ones at that, only a few hundred dollars. That's actually another red flag. They, they didn't, these threat actors weren't quite as good that took over this other company because they did the, the invoicing itself were suspicious because the B to B were small. Yeah, they're too small. No one has $500 invoice. We do like 10,000 is a small job for us. And it goes, these are commercial construction companies. But nonetheless, this happens all the time. They get compromised and we've had more than one that paid. And I'm like, I want to raise awareness of it because it's not in the news because it will never make the news. They're not Linus. They're not going to talk about it. They're not saying it happened. The businesses are embarrassed about it. So the local papers don't write about it. There's nowhere to find this information. We deal with it because we're interactively dealing with clients. And when these spoofing things happen, we've been called, we've had to deal with the police and FBI on this to determine who's at fault or who got in what. Now, zero times it's been our client that's been compromised. But there's been problems. Someone impersonated someone. It's a big really complicated. I think it would be great to see there. There's not a lot of people doing videos on it either. Yeah, I think there are people like Kip Boga. But those are more call scams that I watch them all the time. But for like serious videos, you never see them on on YouTube anyways. Yeah, that's what I thought. It's like it's kind of off topic a little bit for my channel, but on topic because it's a it's a deep cyber security topic. Yeah, again, voice is large institution. They convicted that guy who scammed like Google and Facebook. He was selling. Yeah, I remember seeing the voices. Yeah, he made a lot of money from that. Now he's probably in jail for quite a while. But yeah, so OK, I think there's enough people saying I should probably do it. I'll put a couple of them together because, man, one of them, it was pretty crazy. Some of the extensiveness of it. And if I can bring in one of my friends, I have privileged information. I think the limitations have expired on some of it. I wonder if they could share a story so wild. I can't believe it happened. Like it would be really serious episode. And I want to reach out to them because it would be a great dark night diaries episode. The rough edges of the details so I can't reveal everything that happened. But what I am a lot of talk about is threat actors bought a group. Well, fraudsters, we're not going to call them threat actors. These are share of fraudsters. They bought a company's domain that went out of business and kept it going. Oh, wow. They hired new people. They didn't have these people doing any work, but they had them all paying and working remotely. And they were all part of a money mule scheme with a whole series of transactions like they went through that. That's why they bought the old company that went bankrupt. But it's a small company. No one knew they were bankrupt. So everything looked down the up and up because even their business registration was still valid. So it's just the schemes or scams that go on the internet are mind boggling. I forgot which dark net diaries episode it was. It was a couple, a couple ago, but just hearing some of the stories from Jack was, you know, you never would think it would be that complex how to do it. I think it was something about doing sim swapping. Maybe it was. Yeah, that one there. Yeah, it was it was getting counts episode. It's crazy because they were talking about the runners who run in and grab and steal the iPads or the iPads so they can swap Sims. I mean, I don't know who could do that. I I wouldn't be able to do that. Like that's I think that would make for a great video, though. I think it would go with your channel. Well, yeah, it's it's a really interesting topic. And if I can bring on this one cyber security guy that broke down the story of what they did, how how hard it was for the FBI because the FBI had trouble figuring out who is involved and who wasn't because they all look like employees and they were all part of the money scene. But a lot of them are unknowing of it. So there's such a mess. And there's so many stories like that that happened that don't make the news. The other ones that are an attacker, the title agencies. So the process of buying a house is I don't know how convoluted it is in Canada, but it's very convoluted here. So what they do is they target people buying the house and target the title agencies that are doing the transactions because there's always one more thing you have to do when you're buying a house and one more form to fill out. Inject themselves into the process and get people to send money the wrong places. So yeah, we are just pretty convoluted in Canada. It's it's not the easiest thing to do here either. Yeah. So yeah, it's going it's going to be a real CC. Some of the stuff that Linus ended up with shows the normal how to spot a scam was avoided by those that who scammed them. Yeah. It's weird distinction. Like all this stuff, that's a problem when when you're dealing with a contractor and they are the ones that got scammed. The problem is if there are you already have a trust relationship with them. You've already started a negotiation. They've already came out to Linus's house and gave a quote later reaching back out to him from that same vendor with the same email address going, I'll give you a discount absolutely in line with things. You know, I mean, any normal day person would would think that's not not a fake scam, right? They would think it's a real deal. I could see people easily following for that. People follow or, you know, all for things a lot easier than that. So I think I think it would make for a great episode. Yeah, I'll try to reach awareness on there and I'll talk about the process as my client used to to vet these things because they some of them who, especially the ones we have a couple that got hit, they have absolutely they have a different process. They handle things now and it's all just because they make phone calls and it's it's really rudimentary. It's really basic, but that's why it works. They make phone call and things like that.  So I think it's probably worth doing that video just to help raise some awareness. It happens. It happens more often than ransomware, I think. But it's never talked about because you don't it disrupts the company financially, but it does not disrupt them to the point where they're not doing service delivery. So if they're making widgets, they usually keep making widgets. They just have a big loss to report because they can't scam out of the money. Exactly. You're not going to notice that if they're not publicly traded, they don't even have to report that they were it's just they're not reporting their income. Yeah, you have no idea. So the guy that owns a place didn't buy a fancy new car this year, or he sold a fancy car to pay it. Exactly. So all right. Thank you, everyone. Go subscribe to Cody from Actilecom Networks Channel. So we need some more subscribers. He's got to get that 100k. What are you at right now? I think we're almost 39000. The 100k is the goal to get that little plaque and I mean, after that whatever it is what it is after that. I have a cousin who's got over the million. I want that one too. Well, the thing is I'm like, all right, when I first started I'm like, OK, come on, 500, 500 be great. Then I'm like, 1000. Even though people say you don't look at the numbers, I we all look at the numbers. But the million would be great. That plaque would be awesome. But right now my goal is 100000 eventually with Unify releasing more and more products that will drive in people to my channel. And, you know, hopefully I throw in a couple other vendors in there once in a while. Yeah, throw them in. Well, in part of the thing and I'll say this very publicly, because this is something that not everyone understands about YouTube, you kind of curate your audience. So if you only curate the Unify audience, which is probably a big crossover with my audience, you've only got that content. I have a PF Sense audience that watches me that skips the Unify videos. So until you start doing those, then your next 10,000 subscribers are Unify people or I'm sorry, PF Sense people. And what they're doing is skipping your Unify videos but doing that. So now you have this bigger base of subscribers. They alternate and I'm learning how these people work because I get the same commenters on the PF Sense videos, but they're not always the commenters on the Unify videos and they're not the commenters on the Trunas. Yeah, I mean, I think it's just sticking to a few different, I don't want to be so widespread, you know, pick every little different thing, like I'm not getting into home automation. That's not for me. Like, yeah, really Unify sticking to network gear, maybe grand stream, different vendors, PF Sense will help grow the channel. But we'll just see where it goes from here in the next year. And it's the most honest answer. This is me being honest, too. We don't really know what we're doing. We just say things confidently a lot. That's exactly it. Yeah. And if we do something wrong, we wait until YouTube comments come in. Yeah. Oh, you're never as wrong as when you're wrong on the internet and wrong on YouTube. So exactly. Yeah. But nonetheless, it's not me babbling anymore. Thanks everyone. Like I said, go subscribe to Cody's and see you next week. Perfect. Thank you.
