you are more likely to get struck by lightning or get a hole in one than win the near one billion dollar mega ball jackpot but what if you do our next guest financial expert Melissa Armo reveals the one and only person just one that you should tell aside from me and sharing it I'm getting lucky the mega millions jackpot growing to a record 970 million dollars but your chances of winning not very high as you can imagine with only one in 302 million odds of you taking home the jackpot so how can you increase your chances of winning here now to weigh in his owner of stock swoosh Melissa Armo thank you very much for joining us so the odds for winning the mega million is the big jackpot that's you know ridiculous but there's also some smaller amounts that you can win as well sure we'll have to see if anyone wins tonight if it doesn't it's gonna go into next week and it could even be over one billion which would be really exciting as of right now it's just under that one billion and it's the second largest jackpot in history yeah so let's take a look at see you actually have better odds at some of these things happening to you an unprovoked shark attack that's one in 11 million getting struck by lightning one in one million and then average golfer sinking a hole in one that's one in 12,000 increases your chances well it's really no way to increase your odds but you can increase your chances by getting in a pool getting as many tickets with as many people because even that's a lot of money you can split it up friends family pools office pools here at Fox that you'll have a lot of tickets and it's just about you know trying to see if you can win there's really no way to increase your odds you just got to increase your chances I was reading I mean because there's all kinds of people trying to give advice that if you buy so you see by 10 tickets go to different locations buying those tickets it's really just it's really just luck really the people that win it's really honestly about luck even if you were a mathematician and you tried to figure it out I don't think of its random numbers well and what about that you know picking your own numbers versus letting a machine pick the numbers because I've read that that is actually better to do as well well I heard that and I also heard if you play the same number if you play the lottery in a regular basis eventually a hit but I'm really not sure if that makes a difference either I really honestly think that it's luck and obviously someone could be a very lucky person tonight particularly if it is one winner yeah but the chances of it being just one ticket one winner it's actually a greater chance that it'll be a group which is why exactly what the most fun is from the time that you buy the ticket until it goes off because you think and you dream about all the things you do with the money all the things you possibly do to change your life but you really have to protect yourself the most that you can if in fact you do with how can you do that the ways that you can protect yourself we can put some of your tips for people keep a low profile if you possibly can don't go out in the middle of the street screaming I just won that would be hard not to do that states actually allow you to be anonymous so you don't have to give your name but definitely put your social media profiles on private you don't want everyone in the world commenting and calling you make your number unlisted as well your phone number that's a good idea and then before you even collect the winnings go and see a CPA and an accountant to get some advice because they're gonna have tax implications you will have to pay taxes on it it could be as much as 40% and also before you go hog wild spending it pay down debt if you have a mortgage if you have car loans pay down any of that debt and also it's a great time to invest in the stock market a lot of money you gotta have some fun with it too a little bit of fun yeah so the mega millions drawing is tonight at 11 p.m. so you can buy tickets up until what time I don't know what time to combine them up to I think it depends on the states but you can also buy online what about that is that safe to do well I don't know how safe it is you have to check out the legitimacy of the site I know one specific New York lottery you can actually buy tickets online for the mega millions by subscribing by buying a subscriber and then there's I know at least one or two apps that you can log on to as well but only certain states will accept those well if you if you live in New York you just go out right on the street corner and buy it at most of the places but if you're out of state and you want to participate if it's not if you're out of state you can do it and that's probably one of the reasons why I think it's gonna get up to be close to that one billion because you're gonna probably have a lot of ticket sales and it's very last day with that much money good luck all right the time now is about six minutes until the top of the hour is honestly really the best policy this brand new tourism campaign turning heads for telling it like it is and social media is having a field day


Wednesday morning about quarter to eight, trying to get a good start. Slabs all gone off nicely but we're still going to put a couple of eight before sheets over the top just to protect it and then we can get all these bricks and blocks loaded out down this side. Front back's already loaded, profiles up and we're away, let's go and help Alex now. Profiles up, that's all ready to go, just finishing off loading out. Nice dry bricks now, now we can get cracking and there's our bricks loaded out for the front wall. So we're going to run, we've got enough spot boards and so we'll leave that down, we're going to move from the door and as I run it all through. All right we're up and running. Now the door's set out, three-quarter in it. There you go, three-quarter in it.  That's a big tidy, that's how close we are to the fence. Luckily the fence is out of form, so it's not going to get any closer than that. Here's Alex's end. We've mixed the stuff quite stiff but we don't need it that stiff. So next mix is going to be a bit wetter which I'm going to start now, here we go. It's going 12 o'clock, coming on quite well. From the flat start, well this inside was a flat start. We've got eight on, just rich stacked all the stacks a bit higher.  Yeah that's that from dinner, five to one. So like I said we're up eight so a bit of luck we'll get another eight done today, should be a good day. Need to get that door cleaned, get that concrete off before it goes off too much. Just sit at home again. So we're all set, we're all set, just need to get another mixing now. So we'll get another bit filmed on time-lapse. So that's, we've got, what are we on there, 15 courses? Good course now yeah. Right Alex just jointing up there, still got some damp bricks but they're not too bad.  So the plan is get the mortise used up today, get all the blocks loaded out for backing up then we're back on site tomorrow and probably Friday and then we're definitely back here Saturday, weather for anything. So Saturday we're going to get all the backing up done, probably a course above the face work and that'll get us high enough for our trestles and then that'll have 16 on when we're finished and there's I think five more to go on that end and then 11 more to go on this side, well and the rest of it to have them all. So that's our quick update, both Father's doing us proud as usual and then we just have a bit of stick nailed on the wall for our green line for the bottom of the pin. So time-lapse the last hour, I think that can go soon and that is going in hopefully tomorrow to get the door sprayed and then it's stick of time. Stick of time. Stick of time. The graphics on the van. All right. All right. Just after five they're still drying out so we've got 17 on the bulk of the wall. Well, up to the rest of it we've got 18 on. I think this is coming out and we're all loaded with blocks when we come back. We're back Saturday I think, weather meeting as usual, nice clean floor that it all protected so a lot less tidying up to do and we're all prepped ready. Got our installation round there ready, all ready to go. So day one above DPC done.


Sometimes you get questions on the live stream, so I'll post the link to that here in Zoom chat just so we know where it is. So thanks everyone for joining the meetup today. We have Sonak Roy with us today. He is from Accenture. He's also one of the Hyperledger Bevel maintainers. And today he'll be speaking about Automated Hyperledger Fabric Network with Bevel and Bevel Operator If you have any questions throughout the event, we certainly encourage you to ask. You could just type your question in Zoom chat. And then we can take those as we go. And then if you're watching this on YouTube, you can type in the YouTube chat too. And with that, I will hand it over to Sonak. Yep, thanks David and welcome everyone. Yep, so this is more of a workshop as well as a discussion on how to use Hyperledger Bevel with Hyperledger Bevel Operator Fabric, which is which we onboarded into Bevel at the start of this year, I guess. And yeah, so this is more of an automation rather than like doing the manual processes that you generally follow when using Hyperledger Bevel Operator Fabric. So I would, yeah, thanks for everyone else who was, you know, kind of not speaking beyond mute. And then you can always ask the questions on this Zoom chat as well as YouTube chat. I think YouTube chat is preferable because it stays the question Zoom chat will disappear after the end of the session. But yeah, and I'll ask Subhijit, this is my colleague from Accenture as well, he's here. So I'll ask Subhijit to, you know, check keep an eye and maybe David as well to keep an eye on the questions because I cannot see the YouTube questions. Right, so I'll start with sharing my screen. Yeah, so this is basically my dev environment. And just before we start, I'll give you a brief on Hyperledger Bevel and Bevel Operator Fabric for the new joiners or newcomers who are not that experienced with Hyperledger Bevel. So Hyperledger Bevel is an automation framework which which you can use to deploy different DLT networks like Hyperledger Fabric, Hyperledger Indie, Bezu, even Corda, Enterprise Corda and Gokorum as a format of substrate now on your choice of Kubernetes cluster basically. So it's production worthy. So that means we Hyperledger Bevel can be directly used in production. We have secret management via Vault and we have continuous integration and delivery via GitOps. So that was the first, you know, the introduction of Hyperledger Bevel when we used it. And then recently we also incorporated Bevel Operator Fabric into the Bevel kind of umbrella because that's also a deployment tool you'll use to deploy only fabric. So the first difference between Bevel and Bevel Operator Fabric is that Bevel Operator Fabric is only deploys fabric whereas Bevel you can use to deploy other networks as well. So how it generally works with Bevel is for a very simplistic approach. I'm giving an example. It's not actually that, that that simple is that we, you have a network YAML file which is which called network. We generally in Bevel terms we call it network YAML. So basically that's a configuration file is a YAML file where you write all the configurations that you want the network to be in. And then you, we have Ansible playbooks. So you provide that input as an input to the Ansible playbook. And like say example, the playbook is Deploy Network or the playbook is Create a channel. And once you provide that and then you just execute the playbook and by the, then Bevel that automation will do all the setup like certificate creation and then updates and user creation. For example, in case of fabric and then deployment of peers, orders or validator nodes in case of this. So that's the summary. Bevel Operator Fabric is, as I said, is an operator framework. So the update on Bevel is that we are trying to move to a more operator Kubernetes operator framework kind of option. So the first foray into was taking into the HLF operator and call this is now called Bevel Operator Fabric. And then we aim to with your support with the community support, we aim to get support for like Hyperledger, Bezu as well as Corda as a similar concept using operator. Say you run it using QCTL, HLF and then create peer. That's the sample that you have for operator fabric. So with that, so that's the basic is there, I can see some chats. Is there any question or just hello? No question. Just asking for YouTube links. All right. Okay. So with that, I'll start in the description basically. So as I was saying, Bevel uses this network YAML automation and also based the core Bevel I mentioned uses Vault for secret management where you store all the certificates, the public keys as well as the private keys and also some passwords. For example, you have a CouchDB password or a MySQLDB password. You can store that and then securely get it into your Kubernetes environment. And also it uses GitOps. Now, GitOps is a concept where you check in, it's basically operations via Git. So you check in on update of file and then GitOps, we use the flux operator in that case for basically in Bevel. Then flux operator will get the latest check-in that you have made from that particular bunch. You can configure a specific branch. You have to configure a specific branch and then it will update the Kubernetes cluster with the latest from that Git. So what happens is when you do the initial deployment of the network, for example, you basically just create files and check it in and then flux will take it from there. And then the advantage with that is if you want to change it, for example, you want to increase the memory or the CPU from a Kubernetes point of view or change the Docker images that you are passing to the Kubernetes to the Helm you can just update the files and then do a Git commit and Git push. Then flux will automatically take care of you. So that's the concept of GitOps. But then when with operator, you don't need to do that. Operator is a different approach. I guess many of you have used the operator here, Bevel operator fabric basically already and it comes with all these commands like Qubectl, HLF, you have to install more CLIs locally on or another Kubernetes cluster the operator basically and then you run the Qubectl, HLF commands to set that up. It doesn't use need vault or GitOps. So you can use the same commands to update, create update the network, for example, adding a peer or removing a peer or updating a peer basically. Okay. So coming with that, so I'll show you the difference first between these two. So again, I'll explain how taking into account that there may be some new people here. So Bevel is this is, it's called BAF demo, but it is the Bevel repository. And it has these platforms folder and under platforms, we have all the supported platforms, Basu Fabric Indy, Substrate Corda, Enterprise Corda and Quorum. Shared is like a common platform, common for all. So like all the common program, common code is here and all the specific code is here. And then under Fabric, you will have these charts, configurations, images, releases and scripts. So charts contain all the Helm charts. Now our Helm charts are now available on GitHub as a Helm repo as well. And then you have the configuration, which are the Ansible roles and examples. So in that you have under configuration, you have the samples folder where all the different samples are provided. You see a lot of samples for Fabric because Fabric is the most popular used in for Hyperledge Bevel, a network that is used. And hence, you have different, we have provided different samples for different operations. So in that one is the, the newest one is the network operator Fabric YAML. And the normal one is the Fabric V2. And I've just compared the two so that you can see what's the difference. So if you see the first difference is that the version of Fabric that is supported. So by default, Fabric, Bevel operator Fabric supported supports 2.5.3 as well. We are yet, we are from a Bevel point of view, not yet done. Next thing is still ongoing. But so 2.2.2 is the latest one that we supported, but I think we'll be finishing 2.5.x sometime soon. This is the first difference. The second difference, of course, is for using operator, you have to use the ENV type as operator. Here ENV type was anything because you will deploy on different clusters. So depending on the cluster or the environment, you can, you can name it as such. But for, for using operator, it must be operator. So this is a must as I mentioned it as do not change this. And the proxy is STO whereas the proxy for normal Bevel was HAProxy. Why is STO is because HAProxy, sorry, Bevel operator Fabric itself only supports STO right now. I didn't want to change that to HAProxy and create all different, you know, branch out of it. So we're just supporting STO as well on Bevel side. Retri count is either retry for checks. I don't think it matters. These are matters for operator Fabric because you don't have retries and all generally in this. The rest of the, you know, configurations are same. Between the two, you have the consensus mechanism. I think anyway, for 2.5, the only consensus is raft. But I've kept the format same. Then you have the orderer section where you also have the orderer certificates. It can be stored locally. For the chain, for the chain course part is not, we have, we are not yet supporting the chain course via the Fabric operator Fabric.  But the idea is that you can, you should be able to use the operator, the Fabric console, which is supported in operator to create the, or deploy chain course or its own specific commands to deploy the chain course. So I've not made it in an kind of the automation way. But yeah, if anyone is interested to incorporate that, please feel free to create a PR, an issue and a PR. So rest are kind of same. The major difference that you'll notice is that there is no vault section and there is no GitHub section for the operator. So as I said, in operator, all the secrets are stored directly as Kubernetes secrets and there is no GitOps. So you will use the just kubectl hlf function commands to manage the network. So you don't have GitOps and you don't have vault. So that's, those are the mainly, I would say, three major differences between current network YAML and the operator network YAML. And I'm using the same example of our supply chain which has like five organizations where the first organization, the first organization is the order organization and you have like four PR organizations each having one PR. So that's, that's the explanation. And right. Any questions for now? Let me check. I think it has most of them have been replied by Suvijit. Anything, Suvijit, from YouTube? No, nothing as of now. Okay. Okay. So with that, so that's the examples I already have formatted, you know, filled the network operator fabric. It's, yeah, network operator fabric here. So this is the example. So what you will generally, same as with Bevel, what, what you do is update these things, these username passwords, et cetera, here in the network YAML file, and we'll pass that to the site.yaml, which is our master or the main second. That is our main playbook. So you'll also use your update, your proxy, because the STO should be configured according to the proxy. And, and then what you will update is mainly because I'm using AWS here. So our cloud provider is AWS. So you will also have to provide the AWS access key and secret key. And, and the details to the Kubernetes, basically the Kubernetes cluster region. I don't think region is generally used, but mainly the context and the cluster config file, which is the kubeconfig.yaml, so those paths. And yeah, with that, you are ready. Of course, if you want to add more organizations or delete some organizations, you can, you can delete the organization or create another organization. When Bevel was designed, it was mainly for each organization being deployed on a different cluster. And that is why you have these getting repeated. So you can follow the same model in operator as well, or when using operator fabric, you can have multiple organization, multiple clusters for each, for the same network. But in, in, of course, in, in this example, I'll use the same cluster for all the organizations. But it should, it will be applicable, accessible from externally as well, because we will be using STO as the, as the proxy provider. Right? So with that, so this is the command that we use, which is same command as in, as in Bevel for deployment. So Ansible Playbook shared platform shared configuration site.yaml, that's the main yaml file. And then I'm providing a path to my updated network yaml, which of course doesn't have cluster region, but actually, as a US one, and then all the passwords, et cetera. And I will execute that. And so what this playbook does is a lot of different things, of course, but for initially, it will check for the validity of the, that's what is happening now. It's checking for the validity of the network yaml using the, the AJB validate. And then we will install STO, because STO is not, was not, may not be, not have been installed, will install STO. It will also deploy the HLF operator on the cluster, which is, which are, those are the prerequisites anyways. And once that is done, then it will, depending on how you have configured the yaml file, it will create like the order organization and the peer organizations. And after that, it will also create the channel. And do we end that channel? Because as I said, the chain code deployment, we have not support yet, but please feel free to, if you want to do that yourself, you can feel free to do it. And we can create an issue and, and we are always open to new peers. All right. Well, this is happening. Any burning questions? Nothing on the chat though. So yeah. So right now, as you can see, we are installing the STO ingress controller. So I have lens here as well, which you will, I'll show on the, so that you can see what is happening on the cluster. So as you can see, the STO pod is getting deployed. And I've deployed the STO as how it is required by the bevel fabric, operator fabric to be deployed to be configured. So that's, that's how it is configured. It's more or less default. The only thing that is, is that we are using the default ports, which is port 80 and 443. And that is why you see that the peer ID is mainly or the orderer GRPC addresses are have 443. In the read me, I have also mentioned that this 443 is mandatory. Because if you remove this, then fabric doesn't understand that, you know, it says that the port is missing, especially because it's actually trying to access the GRPC port via this address. It is a GRPC address. So it doesn't automatically think that it is a 443 port. Sean, there's a question from Dominic asking about why we don't support deployment of chain codes yet on operator fabric. Oh, no, that is because we don't have time to do it. We don't didn't have time to do it. So if some, if you are able to do it, then yeah, you can send a PR. It's open and you have all the instructions on how the chain code works. Deployment works on on the bevel operator fabric. Anyways, and you can, I mean, this is basically the automation part, as I was saying, because if you have gone through the demo videos of HLF, HLF operator, bevel operator fabric, you would have noticed that it is like you have to give the commands step by step, like create, create order, create CA, etc, etc. But this is the automation part. So you after this net basic network is created, you can deploy the chain code by using the commands directly as has been specified in operator fabric. So if C now is trying to create a CA server for org, for each org, and I'll go and see what's happening on the lens. Yeah, so again, all this basically automation takes taking care of everything. So we have each namespace for each organization. That is how bevel works. And in each namespace, it is trying to create the supply the CA pods. So yeah, so they are running. And if we check the operator side as well, which is which appears and has this HLF Kung Fu software. Yes. So if we see here, you can see that yeah, the the CS have been created. And the status is not showing because yeah, so you can see the status is running. So that means they're successfully created. If there is any other status, then that means it is basically not not working properly. Can check the logs as well. I can see the order is getting created now. And you can you will see the very difference different in the speed that it is happening. Because operator fabric, of course, is much faster because you are not not using not doing the vault authentication. And first of all, in normal bevel, you will have to first create or create the authentication between vault and Kubernetes and then do everything. And secondly, we are not using GitOps because GitOps is like a polling kind of informed method, which will pull after one minute or two minutes. And only then you will get this and that is why we have so much weights in in in bevel, usual bevel. But in here, it is it's very fast. It's command just like giving a command prompt, it takes some seconds, as you see, like the peer and order, the peer is taking some time because it's provisioning the the couch DB, etc. Like as a PVC. So it's taking some time, but it is it is much faster. And then bevel, mainly because they were not using GitHub services. So yeah, so that's the order one, two, three have been set up. Now if I go and check the actual services, so you have this, you can see that the orders have been created and this state surrounding and the age, I just created right now, it's not something that I created earlier. Can now the peers also should be created. Some of them are not yet. Yes. So the peers are also here. We have, as per my organization or my network gamble, we have four peers, each only peers zero. So one peer each organization. So that these are pending. Yeah, as you can see, the status is also changing. Yes. So now now they're running, and now all the peers should be running. I will to log of the peer. Yep. So the peer has been has run, so has been created. Now we are creating the channel. Same concept as we do for for bevel, you create all the peers and then we create the channel channel configuration is at the top. So this is the channel, all channel is a channel name. And that's what you see, it's trying to create this, this channel, the channel should be created now. Yeah, so the channel is also created. See here, it says all channel is running. And you can see in warehouse peer logs, that the all channel Genesis block was created. And I think that's all. Now we'll, it's just doing all the, all the things. Yeah, this is basically complete. So you see, it's super fast in that way. As well as I, yeah, so after main channel, I think the final thing that we do is create the follower channel, which is basically kind of creating the anchor peers. So if you see here, yeah, they were all they're all running. And hence you have this message saying that the membership view has changed. And this is the current view, which means this, this is warehouse peer. So warehouse peer has connection to carrier store and manufacturer. Yeah. And then yeah, basically that's pretty much we're almost done in half an hour. I can, I can explain how the code and all that works. And maybe that will inspire you to add the support for, for chain code, chain code by your, by yourself or someone who is interested to get, get their hands dirty, can, can always help because we always look for contributors. Right. Any questions or other discussion? There you go. Yeah. Shannan, there's a question on the chat. Long question. I think you should read it or do you want to read? All right. I'm, I'm all right. How much is it possible to use this approach in a productive multi-company setup, being that companies have different separate infrastructure? Yeah. So this one definitely can be used. Of course, we have not done a POC as such, but it, you most likely have to do a POC first, that it will actually work. But in general, from the current, we have a multi, like both order and peer scenario as well, but that's supported on the, on normal, you know, usual bevel, not operator fabric. But in general, what I would go is how, how you go about deploying basically. So I would say, yeah, deploy the orderer first and then share the order certificates with, and the addresses, the public certificates, definitely, with, with the other companies and then they can deploy their own, just the peers, for example, and use the order certificates. And yeah, you can, you can definitely use different Kubernetes versions, but yeah, keep in mind that bevel is supported on one point. I think one point current is 1.23. We'll move to 1.24 or five directly once we upgrade our ambassador, because that's the main upgrade that is going on right now. But yeah, 1.23, it also works on 1.22 anyways. Yeah, you're using kind, which is, which is fine. I think, I think the main problem that we faced with kind is memory issues and the actual deployment of kind itself, after the kind, because we use kind and also mini-cube. And there the maximum we could get, especially for fabric, was, was just to deploy the one orderer with one raft node and, and two, two peers. After that, it would crash. But yeah, if you have a more powerful machine and, you know, a huge memory like 64 GB RAM and all that, then you should be okay to use kind. But both bevel and operator fabric is, is mainly designed for, for actual Kubernetes environments or more production environments. Okay, so in the meantime, I'll show you how actually it works, how we kind of go about, go about the deployment. So all, all our playbooks are here under configuration. So all these are all playbooks, which means they are, these are the, basically the operations that you can do using the Ansible command. We are trying to move away from Ansible, but we couldn't find any other better replacement, which you will use just one command other than shell script, which you will just use one command, and it will do everything automatically. The other option, as, as you know, with operator fabric is that you have to use multiple commands like you have to use a, or just write a shell script again to have say orderer one, two, three, four, etc. But with, with the current design that we have in bevel is, is you can just, you need to only change the network YAML. So if you want another orderer, five orders, I've created three. If you want five, you just add another orderer with all the configuration files, information, and you can just copy paste and change the name of the orderer to three, four, and five. And if you deploy using this site.yaml, it will work. And you don't have to, you know, run the command again and again. So how the network operator, this is deployment file that we, that actually ran behind the scenes. How it works is, we have a temporary build directory where the temporary files are created. So that was, that will remove so that, you know, when you're deploying, you have a fresh installation. And then, of course, it creates the first of all, it will create the namespace for each organization. And then it will create the storage class. In our case, the storage class was already created. So, so it was, it didn't create. So that, all that check is also here in, in our Ansible roles that if something is already there and you are doing the same thing, it doesn't actually try to do it again and waste time. Yeah. And then it creates the CA server and then registers the user the, for each, because you have to use, register a user to use the CA. Then you, then we are creating the order nodes. Then we are creating the peers. And then we have to register the admin users for each organization. Then we create the main channel, which is the all channel. And then we do the join channel, which is how you do use, is basically creating the for follower channels. And that's, that's all, as I said, we are, we're finishing at this level. Now all the code or the configuration, I would say is, as you see, is in this folder roles operator. So these are the files. So you have operator create CA follower, et cetera, et cetera. So if you, if someone wants to add a chain code, create chain code or, you know, update chain code things, you have to, you can do it here. I'll give a simple, yeah. So CA server, I'll give a very simple example. So it's just, as you see, it's just a single command. So if you're running it locally, like without bevel or Ansible, then you will most probably, you know that you will most probably use this command, right? Directly here in your command line, saying QCTL, HLF, CA create, blah, blah, right? And that's what is, it's all doing. So it's just that we are providing an abstraction and reading all these parameters from, you can update here, you can add it in the network YAML as well. I don't think the, the GI is the gigabits can be a passed on. It has to be, is hard coded more or less. But yeah, you can, you can pass the URL. You can pass the cloud provider storage class name, basically we're using AWS. And then then version, which is, this is the CA image version. So yeah, all that is basically parameterized. Similarly, if I go to orderer, so orderer, yeah, the only thing that I have added here is a check that first checks that if the CA server is available, this is the check. Because if it doesn't, it's not available, then it should not go forward. Because CA is important for orderer to work. So once the CA server is available, then it, yeah, again uses the same QCTL, HLF, order, or the node create command, which is provided by operator. Yeah, and similar parts. And the only difference is that I've looked it over how many ever orders you want to create. And that is why I said, like, if you just increase the number of orders to five from three, it will, it will just work. You don't have to run this yourself. And there is a wait here for the orders to start. And then once the orders are started, we get the TLS certificates. As I said, that these are the public certificates that you will generally use in your production environment that you will share offline with your other peers so that they are able to connect to the order. Because fabric by default is secure. So in that case, if you just have the IP address or the order address, it will not work. You will also need to access, have the CSR certificate. Okay, so there was a question, then can you share procedure or script you use for kind setup? No, we don't have, we don't use kind. We have some previously used mini cube, but we don't generally share the setup because the setup always differs from machine to machine and operating system to operating system. So you'll have to follow the actual, you know, the guidance for kind itself. Otherwise, yeah, we have tried it earlier for many years since BAF. We used to call Bevel as Blockchain Automation Framework BAF. Since then, the same questions have come, but unfortunately, it had never worked. It was not one code to rule them all kind of scenario because everyone has a different machine and a different version of mini cube. Mini cube also or even kind keeps on changing. And yeah, it's very difficult for us to keep up with those. We'll rather focus on the development of Bevel itself. Yeah, so there was a question like about the other planned supported, etc. So certificate renewal backup recovery. I'm not sure, Shubhajit, correct me. Is that, are these supported in operator fabric? I think the certificate renewal is there. I don't think recovery or backup is there, but I'm sure about the certificate renewal. Yeah, so the concept is that anyway, we have not tried, in this example, the demo that I gave you, we are not trying to redefine operator fabric. It's just whatever features operator fabric has provided. I have used or we have used it, a subset of it to make it easier. So the certificate renewal and all, if it is already supported by operator fabric, you can just run it after these as well. You can just type whatever is the command cube CTL, HLF certificate renewal. I'm not sure. It's not on top of my head. That command to do your certificate renewal. Yeah, as like similar here, because you will know what your order images and order names, etc. have already been created. So you can use them and even your STI is running. So you can use that directly. Backup recovery, I guess you were talking about the whole Kubernetes cluster backup or recovery. In that case, yeah, for both for Bevel and operator fabric, I don't think it is kind of inherently supported in there. It is more or less an operation or like a network operations kind of thing. So you will, when you will anyway have your own agency and processes that you use backup the Kubernetes cluster itself. I think there are multiple tools available in the market, which using which you can backup whole Kubernetes cluster. And going back to the other exam, you know, the same question, if we go back to what Bevel in general supports, as you see here, we have so many operators, so many separate different playbooks for the use of operators. But we'll also try to move forward, moving forward, we'll, you know, not use the Ansible, as I said, in all the cases, maybe we'll only use the Ansible to deploy the basic network, like how I did, and then use either the already existing fabric operations console to deploy and then do the renewals, et cetera, deploy chain code, for example, with the life cycle, I think it is very easy to do the chain code deployments using operator, sorry, fabric operations console. But yeah, so these are the, you know, these are the things that we now support on Bevel. You have, you know, adding an organization, adding a peer, things which it was explained on Discord recently that what is the difference that adding organization is adding a whole organization and adding a peer is adding one new peer, say peer one or peer two, to an existing organization. We also have the chain code upgrades. We also have external chain code support now, where you can deploy external chain code. Of course, the Docker image, et cetera, the coding of the, of the chain code has to be done by yourself. According and packaging of the chain code has to be done by yourself is here, you're just deploying the network. Then yeah, user certificates, this is quite an old feature now on Bevel. You can, you can manage basically refresh the user certificates because by default, Bevel certificates expire after one year. And we also did the setup, the cactus connector support. So basically you can deploy the cactus version of cactus connector on, on the same network so that you can go and connect, connect with other networks, connect from other networks into the fabric network that you have deployed. That's how, you know, provided by cactus. Any more questions, burning topics? We want to discuss any questions on, on YouTube? Subhijit? Is a question on chat about plans for adding more operational activity? Yeah, which I guess I already answered that. So the Bevel team is constantly looking for contributors. If you are interested to see certificate location, or I don't think laser truncation is supported by operator fabric itself. So maybe in that case, you'll have to send a PR for operation fabric first. And but the certificate renewal, et cetera. Yeah.  But yeah, they're manual, not done via a single command like, like this. So if you are, if you want to see it as a single command, then you can all happy to please feel free to contribute. Or if you just want to use it yourself without contributing, you can anyway run as I was explaining QCTLHLF commands. There was a question about what is the overall goal for this tech. So interesting question. The overall goal for this tech, which by tech, I'm assuming you're saying hyper ledger Bevel and the operator fabric. So the overall goal for this tech is making deployment of DLT networks easier and consistent so that people are not trying to reinvent the wheel. They don't have to follow different approaches like Kubernetes, for example, or when you try to deploy core network or follow the manual steps in trying when trying to deploy a base of network. So we're trying to provide a single kind of similar a singular approach, which, which is Bevel to deploy your production, what the networks and you can do it via operator fabric as well. Because that's anyway the model that will support going forward. There was a question on support this on ARM processor. I'm not sure what what is the so you want to run Ansible on ARM processor? Is that the question Gangadhar? Right. So yeah, so I we don't test on ARM processor because yeah, no one has came up come up with with that request. I think there were some questions earlier that it is supported on ARM, etc. But yeah, if Ansible is supported, it should be. But our current code is mainly open to based or Linux based. And this is normally x86 processor. Yeah, so we are not we have not tested on Mac M1 or M2, because from our research, we don't think that a lot of network operations are happening from Mac, especially for production. It's this basically more or less Linux or Ubuntu. But you can I mean, we have in all the playbooks, you can not this one. Yeah, in this one, yeah, so playbooks, these three things are there. You I'm sure if you just update it with ARM in from install the OS and the architecture, these two fields, it's going to work, though we have not tested. Yeah, right. Yeah, Satish has a very good question. How do I configure the Ansible to connect to the k8s cluster in the network AML or specifically playbook? Yeah, so yeah, it is very good question. It is configured. The connection is via just these three parameters in the network AML. So you don't actually connect internally because Ansible has a lot of Kubernetes. What is it called plugins, I would say, so that you connect to the Kubernetes cluster. But we are using the local so installing Qubectl, etc locally, wherever you are running the Ansible from. And that is what side dot ML does. It's also installs the required prerequisite software, for example, Qubectl and Qubectl HLF plugin for the operator. So once that is done, then we just pass the connection context basically. And that's how you connect to Kubernetes cluster. And each the k8s part is separate for different separate organizations. So if you are managing your, if you have access to multiple Kubernetes clusters from the same machine, for example, this machine, then you should be able to deploy multiple Kubernetes, sorry, multiple the same fabric on multiple Kubernetes clusters. Is it possible to add a new organization in existing network? It is, I think it's, I've not supported it on the automation part, but with fabric network operator, sorry, bevel operator fabric, it should be able, you should be able to add a new organization easily into an existing network. Yeah, I think that's what we are doing anyways, when I run this command, or is it yeah, this peer, so here, as you see, creating the peer node, we are anyway kind of adding a new peer each time. So if you can, you have, you follow the same process of creating the CSR server for that particular organization. And then I deploy, or create the peer node using the kubectl hlf peer create command. And then the main thing is adding the channel, I think, or updating the channel. Any further questions? Okay, what channel can we seek support? Yeah, you can, the discord is there always. We have a, do you have a link for discord? Or David, discord is there, you know, you can, I think you have the access. Yeah, I just posted a link. There's a page on our wiki with a lot of details about how to get an invite and where our channel, some of the channels are. Yeah, yeah. So for both bevel, the traditional bevel, and bevel operator fabric, these are the commands, sorry, the channels. So if you post, if you can find some answer already, which have been asked here. And for operator fabric, this is the channel for you can ask questions about get support on operator fabric, just the operator fabric itself. Yeah, and yes, you have to get access to this channel. But I guess whoever is working with hyper ledger should have get access anyways. If your organization wants to organize a training or implementation. So I think training wise, we do, we do have these kinds of meetups, you can follow the meetup channels. I'm not sure which which hyper ledger channel you join, you can join, you know, join them and follow specific topics like hyper ledger bevel or space a fabric. Because you may be interested in fabric, so you can go through the training. We also have hyper ledger global forum, which happens almost every year. And where we do more deep dive workshops. For private custom training, I don't think we have any kind of David, do we have any kind of channel via hyper ledger where we can have a custom training? Let me get a link here. Just one second. So the Linux foundation does offer trainings. We don't currently have one specific to bevel, but maybe that's something Sonnec you and I should talk about when we think like there's a level of maturity and bevel is at the point where you know it's ready for that. But you can take a look at the training page to see what courses and certifications we do offer for hyper ledger projects. So that's something and we do have a training team. They do have the ability to offer if that's something you want to offer like onsite courses. But the main model of our courses is self-paced online courses. And again, we usually focus our trainings on graduated projects. But again, Sonnec, when you think that bevel is at the point where we should start thinking about training, we could talk about the graduation process and getting training going and everything. We are going to go for version one by end of this year. But yeah, it's not as the version one that we wanted. But I think it is we have enough users on that sort. I gather from the questions that we have on bevel channel itself and even operator fabric that we have a lot of users who face similar issues. So yeah, our training, I guess, yeah, we can discuss it separately David, that I think we can get training even if it is, you know, say non-graduated. But let's see. But I think in the meantime, the best thing are these series of, you know, you've done a workshop earlier this year, you've done this meet up. I think, yeah, as you said, if people want to look for, keep an eye on our channels, we'll do these periodically. You know, I don't know, Sonnec, when you're planning to maybe do another one of these maybe early next year. But I think for now going on Discord and looking out for these sessions is probably the best thing to do. And these sessions are recorded.  So these resources are available. Yeah. And the YouTube channel that is hosting now that has all the trainings, right? All the meetups that is happening, you can just search from there for Hyperledger Bevel. For example, you'll get all the older sessions as well, which some of them were much longer because we did the whole network deployment, if starting from Kubernetes deployment. Yeah. So if that is all, I think we are good to close. Any more questions? All right. That's all then. Thanks, everyone, for joining. I hope this was helpful and insightful. Thank you for the questions as well. Definitely, you can understand that there is, you know, interest in Bevel. And I'm very happy to see all the questions. And hopefully I've answered them properly. And once again, as I kept on saying, we do need contributors. I know it can be a bit daunting to understand, you know, Ansible at first. But you can go and check. We are not using Ansible in a very high, you know, complex way. It's quite simply, simple way we are using Ansible. It's mostly as an automation tool, as you can see, running shell commands rather than writing shell scripts, I think. But yeah, if you want to automate or give an example of writing shell scripts as well to automate, say, adding a chain code or creating a new channel, I'm very happy to take that on board. We do have bi-weekly, on Mondays, we have the calls for Bevel roadmap and not roadmap, but the scrum call. And we have a roadmap discussion every three months. So please feel free to join them. Yeah, so I think Ansible, there is an Ansible, the commercial version of Ansible, which is already there. It's basically the part of the Ansible Tower. But then we'll see how, because as I said, we're moving more towards the operator model, or if not, then we'll directly just use, say, the Helm charts, use Helm commands, Helm install, to do the deployments. So that's the way that we are going forward. And yeah, if you guys are interested to help in that as well, then that's also very good. But yeah, we are also moving towards, say, directly using Helm commands, say, Helm install, CA server, et cetera. Yeah. Repo URL, I think David will send the video links and the repo URLs. And the Discord server link. Yeah. And the read the docs website as well. Sure. That's all then. Thank you so much. Hope, and yeah, we'll keep this going and we'll have more discussions. I think we'll try to do once every two months. So yeah, maybe in the new year. Yeah. Yeah, sounds good. Thanks, everyone. Thank you. Okay. Exactly.


All right, Bolo Buddies. We are about to go into the Goodwill Bins. This is the unseen footage from the challenge that I did with dumpster diva, the scavenger hunt, where I had to go in and find 12 items. I found some awesome stuff, but what I didn't show you is what I'm about to show you. 35 minutes of goodness of digging in the bins. I found some Bolo's. I found some awesome plush, so let's get started. All right, this is what I walked into. Plush. I absolutely love finding plush. Hey, Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Okay, as I stated, this is the unseen footage from the scavenger hunt with dumpster diva.  She is incredible. I will link her down below. So I listed my 12 items from the challenge immediately, and I got that video out to you guys. Then I listed the plush somewhere in between and I held on to the hard goods until just last month. I've just been so busy and I have not gotten to them. So there's an assortment of items in this video as far as timeframe of when they were listed. I'm gonna be popping up screen shares of all the items that I picked up that are listed currently. And I'm also gonna pop up screen shares of my sold items. I did list anything that was like a Halloween costume. I listed immediately and those sold super fast. So we're gonna see those as well. I did find some Build-A-Bear and this horse sold almost really, really fast for $18. I can't remember how fast, but I did pick up some Build-A-Bear and there was a grail. And if you go and watch the main video from the scavenger hunt, you can see what that grail is. It has not sold yet. I have it priced high. I talk about all of the different comps and stuff in that other video, definitely go check it out. And please go subscribe to Dumpsterdiva. She has an incredible Goodwillbens channel, just incredible. Picked up a ton of plush and all of these plush items were not seen in that other video. So the footage in the first video is different from the footage in this video. I cut all of this out. So let me know in the comments if you see something that you would have picked up that I missed. Basically, you can just timestamp it down in the comments and then everybody can go down to the comments and look at that and it will help everybody learn what to look for. This is a costume, $23 sold super fast on Poshmark. Now, I put those costumes on Poshmark because they are heavy and it was cheaper to ship them on Poshmark than eBay. Another bill to bear bunny I threw in there. For some reason I didn't grab this bill to bear. I don't know if the tag had writing on it or what was going on there, but I left that one behind. I am sure I left money in the bins, for sure. There was just so much plush and it was fantastic. It was fantastic, I love finding plush. This little guy sold really quick. It was a little Chihuahua and I took a best offer of $18 on that. Probably could have held out for full asking price, but the offer came in pretty quick and I just went ahead and said yes. All right, that was a Shopkins, I think. I did not pick that one up. Let me know how you guys do a Shopkins plush. Should I have grabbed it or not? This little bear I left behind, it did have the original tag, but it was a St. Jude's bear. Has anybody sold those items before? I'm not really sure how those work if they're a donation or what exactly. That was another bill to bear. I left that one behind as well. I did find this awesome knit crochet doll and she's like a rag doll, but she had all this information on it, so I just put that in the listing. The only place I could find it was on Facebook, so I'm not really sure on that doll, but it is super, super well made and very, very cool. Oh, somebody threw that back in and I grabbed it, but I didn't grab it. Should I have grabbed that bunny? Oh my goodness, so many things. And I am learning so much about plush. I just keep learning. This is a Boyd's. This one's actually a harder to find item, so I did price that one a little higher and it still had the original tag. So we're gonna move along here into some hard goods and I'm just gonna kind of tell you guys what I picked up and what I didn't pick up.  So not everything that I put in my cart do I end up walking out the door with. So keep that in mind. I try to pop up the screenshots to help everybody learn. I think I picked this up and I wanna say I got it home and it didn't work. Yep, saying that made me remember that I took the battery cover off and I am selling that separately to try to make my money back for that item. Would you guys have picked up that shoe that teaches kids how to lace? Maybe I should have picked that up. I did leave it behind. All right, we're just kind of digging here. I don't know if that was like scrapbooking stuff. Maybe I should have picked that up. It wouldn't have been very expensive and I know a lot of people do scrapbooking. Might have left some money on the table there as well. All right, we are gonna keep digging here. Thank you guys so much for being here. My name is Courtney and I basically talk about Bolo items on this channel. Items to be on the lookout for, items you can hopefully buy low and sell high. I would love for you to subscribe and check out some of my other videos. This here I picked up, somebody ordered it and they canceled their order. I can't remember why, but I relisted that. This here I took a best offer of $27 plus shipping and that bunny sold fast. I don't know what was special about it, but somebody wanted it and they wanted it quick. A lot of times the ones that have the sewn eyes instead of like the hard eyes, those get picked up more often because people like babies and stuff like that or animals, they don't want the hard eyes. This right here was from Kmart. I don't know, it was a humongous bunny. I probably should have grabbed it. I'm kind of kicking myself watching this back, especially since Easter is right around the corner, but I did find this little clothespin doll and super cute, couldn't find one exactly like it. I think it's probably Artisan Handmade and I went ahead and listed that kind of high, so we'll see how things go. I'm not sure when this video will be posted. I have been cranking out some Goodwill Bins videos for you guys, so this may post after Easter. I'm getting them all scheduled. Now, this right here is a Build-A-Bear, Friends2B, I have never heard of it and they actually sell for decent money. However, I sold mine too cheap because the person messaged me and they're like, I think the belly button is missing. Well, it wasn't the belly button. It was a picture of the back that I was showing and they thought it was the belly button and I didn't have a picture of the front showing so we both assumed because I didn't go look that the belly button was missing and that was an international sale, so I guess include a picture of the belly button if you list one of those items. So funny. Either way, still sold it I think for, it was $21. This is just a little cheese spreader mouse knife. I thought it was kind of cute. Went ahead and picked that up. That is available in my eBay store. And some of these items are on Poshmark and Mercari. Some of them are not. I'm cross-posting when I can. I do use ListPerfectly to cross-post. I start my items on eBay because that is my main platform and that is where I sell the most. And then I cross-post to Mercari and Poshmark when I have time. I use ListPerfectly for that. There is a demo video down below that shows you how to list from eBay to the other platforms and it also shows you how to use the catalog. So you can list directly into the catalog and then you can cross-post to, I think, I don't know if there's like eight to 10 different platforms now that are available through ListPerfectly. It's absolutely incredible. So definitely check out that demo video down below. If you check it out and it looks like something you would be interested in using, you can use coupon referral code BOLOBuddy's, all one word, to get 30% off your first month of ListPerfectly. All right, look at my cart. Oh my goodness. So most of that is in this video but some of that footage is in the other video that I showed you before.  They were a little Marvel, the Hulk figure and they were pretty cool actually. I had to use Google Lens to figure it out and I do have a video on how to use Google Lens. Google Lens is free. I highly recommend you add it as an app on your phone because when you're outsourcing, you can take a picture of the item and it will pull it up on Google Lens for you. This right here, I went ahead and put over on my what not buy it now section and I have a video about what not and it tells you how to use what not in a different way to make more money. So definitely check that out. I will link it down below as well. I am Bolo Buddies over on what not and there is a link down in the description. If you use that link to join what not, you can get $15 of free money to shop. So definitely use that referral link down below and check out that video because if you're already on what not, it's something you can do to make more money and if you're not on what not, it may convince you to get on what not because you can use what not as a marketplace and that is the little hint. All right, so we are gonna keep digging here. Lots and lots of stuff. I picked up so many items. I did look at this. My husband and I, we still watch DVDs. We have a DVD player, we have a VHS player. I go to so many garage sales and I go to the Goodwill Bins that I am constantly picking those things up for like a quarter and 50 cents and that's just what we choose to do. We like the old school method. So we do have cable of course and just regular TV but we don't pay for like HBO or Netflix or what are all those crazy things? I don't even know what any of them are. So I'm so behind. But anyway, we like the Goodwill fashion DVD and VHS most recently. He brought home a VHS player. I'm like, you have a VHS player? He's like, yeah, I'm like, okay. So now I'm picking up VHS. So those things will sell. If I'm at the bins, I will pick up DVDs and VHS that are sealed depending on what they are. I did look through this. I don't know if I should have got it. You guys let me know down in the comments. Has anybody sold one of these sharks before? I felt like I would have to test it and then I thought about maybe parting it out but I ended up just leaving it behind. All right, let's see what else we can find here in the bins. I have picked up curlers before. I have sold them like replacements. I have sold them in the container. I have heard that they do really well over on Poshmark from other resellers. So something to think about. I don't sell a ton of curlers. I wish I would have got these pencils looking back now, they look pretty cool. They look vintage but I don't know, maybe they are, maybe they're not. For some reason I put them back. But if you guys are not on Poshmark and Mercari I have referral links down below for those as well. If you use the link to join Poshmark you'll get $10 to shop. If you use the Mercari link, I'll tell you in a minute but I did pick up this wifey cup and it still had the original tag on the bottom. So I don't think that was ever used and that is still available and it is super cool. If anybody is a wifey and needs a mug my eBay store link is down below, make me an offer. This is a Lord of the Rings. It was incomplete unfortunately. I decided to part that out. But back to Mercari. If you use my Mercari link you will get $10 to shop when you join and another $20 to shop once you sell $100 worth of stuff on the platform. So that's $30 and free money and I like to source on Mercari. So just a little tip for those of you out there that are not on Mercari it's a great platform to find items to resell on eBay. Just a little tip. All right, we're gonna keep digging here. I like to source in a lot of places. What Not is also a great place to source. You guys are gonna see in my what sold videos some items that I've recently purchased on What Not and flipped for a profit. You'll also see items that I have bought from Hall Sale and flipped for a profit. There's a link for Hall Sale down below also and you get a $10 credit for Hall Sale if you use my referral link down below. So all those referral links down below most of them give you something if you use them. So yes, I do get a kickback. In most cases it's a small kickback but like Mercari and Poshmark I get money to shop just like you do. So always appreciated when you guys use my links because I like to shop on those platforms. So check out those links down below. All right, should I have picked up this? I have never seen that series. I'm guessing it's like a series and I know some of those do really well. I probably should have scanned that. It had a bar code. It would have been really easy to scan but I didn't. So you guys let me know if I missed a Bolo and again I'm looking forward to going down and looking at the comments to see what you guys would have picked up that I walked past. This is a little Christmas ornament. I grabbed this, lots of bread and butter items. You guys, I am a bread and butter reseller. I like to pick up the smalls. I do have this, I have not listed it yet. I don't know why I sat it to the side. I think I'm gonna do a video on it on my reseller testing Bolo products. Kat Feel and Thrifty bought this from me. She bought these lights and their replacement lights and I did a preview video of some stuff that I had a sale on whatnot and there were some things that didn't sell and I invited my viewers to make a bundle and message me privately and then I put it on Poshmark. So that was the bundle that she made. Check out Kat Feel and Thrifty. She has an awesome eBay store. I will link it down below. And she recently started a YouTube channel. So show her some love with a sub. You can see me picking up those trains. I always pick up those trains and I will put them in small lots. Some of them I list individually. So be careful with the Thomas the train because some of them can go for $10 to $25 by themselves. The more common ones, I just lot those up. But I do pick up all small toys pretty much if it's a small toy and I recognize it, I will grab it. Sometimes I make toy boxes. Here's an example. I sold that with another one and I actually sold it in a bundle. Somebody bought three separate listings off of eBay from me of individual Paw Patrol pups. So people can bundle when you list them individually. It's a great way to get people to purchase more than one item. That was a sealed DVD. I pick up sealed DVDs all the time, no matter what. Even if it's not big money, I can scan it and it's an easy bread and butter, easy to list, easy to ship item. Imaginext, I always pick those up. A lot of times I will lot those as well, but some of them are valuable on their own. It's a lot of research and a lot of looking up, but once you start selling toys, you start to know what to look for. This is Chuck E. Cheese, always pick up Chuck E. Cheese. This is just a bread and butter, but some of the old vintage Chuck E. Cheese can be a big money bolo. So keep that in mind if you ever see Chuck E. Cheese items. All right, we're gonna keep digging. Let me know your favorite thing to source at the bins. So I know a lot of people are strictly closed and the reason I know that is because when I go to my Goodwill bins, there are people that only stay in the clothes. They don't even come over to the hard goods. And then there's people like me who only stay at the hard goods. There's people that love the books. It's so great that everybody just sources differently and I may be looking for hard goods like I look for toys. Other people may be looking for, I don't know, other types of hard goods, but I will pick up pretty much anything that I can sell. I just really enjoy toys. And I've sold one of those rattles before, but that one had some fogging, so I left it behind. Maybe I should have grabbed these. I think they were like stationary, but I don't know if they were branded or not. Would you guys have picked up that stationary? I recently did a video on Terry over from Mindful Recycle. If you guys are not subscribed to her, oh my goodness, she is incredible. I will link her down below, but she picked up stationary at a state sale. And oh my goodness, she hit the jackpot. I did list this pencil sharpener, not in great condition, so priced it a little low. But anyway, she got all of this stationary. I wanna say it was like 70 or 80 different stationary things. Vintage Hallmark, one of them sold for over $500. So go check out that video, and again, I will try to remember to link it down below. Just an incredible find. If you don't know about vintage stationary, you definitely wanna watch that video because just unbelievable. All right, we are gonna keep on digging. If you guys have any questions for me, let me know down in the comments. I have been a reseller since 2005. This is my full-time job. I have been on YouTube for about four years, kind of started it on a whim. Just, I don't even know why I started YouTube, to be honest with you. It's not really my thing, but it has become my thing, and now I absolutely love it. But I didn't even really watch YouTube when I started YouTube. So didn't really understand how it works, and just wanted to kinda go on and talk about bolos and things that I source and things that I sell, and that's how this all started. Now it's transformed into taking you guys to the Goodwill Bins with me. I do Thrift with Me videos. I feature other sellers, so I will go into someone else's store and share with you their solds, and they give me all the information, like where they got it, what they paid for it, and what it sold for. So I'm basically teaching and learning. I'm learning also, and that was one of the reasons I wanted to start this also, is because I like to learn, and this forces me to learn. So I feature my Facebook group members, I'll put up a post that says, share your best whatever month it is, Bolo, and then everybody puts their bolos in the comments, and then I do a video featuring all those big money bolos. It is a fantastic way to learn, both for me and the viewers. So for you guys that have shared on those posts, thank you so much. And that is a monthly thing. It is free to share a Bolo on that post, and I just feature your Bolo in the video, and it's super cool. So check out those videos. I have what sold videos of items that I sell. I have bread and butter, which are the items that I sell for $35 or less. And then I also have my big money bolos, which are items that I sell at higher prices. So I kind of divide those separately. I also have what sold videos for Mercari and what sold videos for Poshmark. And I pretty much sell all hard goods on Poshmark and Mercari, unless it's an older listing. I do have a lot of older listings that are clothing because before I became a hard goods seller, I only sold clothing, which is hard for me to believe now because now it's really, really hard. It has to be something special for me to list clothing because I'm just not interested in it. Would you guys have picked up this stapler or would you have left it behind? I think I left it behind. I thought it was kind of cool, but then it got stuck and then it got unstuck. Let me know in the comments if you guys sell staplers. What is that? This I picked up because I thought it was pretty cool and it's a 1979 keychain and on the back it tells all these things that happened in 1979. This is a windshield cover and for some reason I tried to find the listing and I couldn't find it, so I will try again later, but that should be available in my eBay store.  That's an Alex and Ani. I don't think I listed that yet, but I did list this 1928 necklace. I always do really well with the brand 1928 and that sold really quick for $15.50. This right here is a night before Christmas and the illustrations I believe were by Mary Englebright, which Mary Englebright I always pick up her stuff. I did pick up these little, they go on baby's milestone things and I put that over in my what not buy it now. So if you're interested in that, I'm trying to put some stuff over on what not in the buy it now section, inexpensive items that are new old stock. All right, here we go. I got this Boda Bear. It sold on Mercari really fast for $22 and free shipping on that. Here's another Boyd's plush. I did slow it down because I was just whipping through these and I couldn't pull the screenshots up quick enough. So these are all the other plush that I found that would not fit in my cart. I found three of those. Those are the Singama Jigs. They are a Bolo.  And now we're gonna go over and you're gonna see where I find the other two Singama Jigs. And I took a best offer of $60 on all three of those. I said, one of my buddies just threw me the third one.  So sold those three for 60 bucks pretty quickly. All right, I picked up this Boyd's Bear duck, just the bread and butter and Ikea. I always pick up the Ikea. Some of the Ikea do better than others, but yeah. All right, this one I might be stretching a little. I've got this priced really high, but I could not find any comps and it is vintage and it's a piggy bank. And I'm gonna show it to you right now. It's a bunny rabbit. And again, because I could not find any comparables, I've got that priced at $77 or best offer. And we're just gonna see what happens. I will definitely entertain an offer, but on things that I can't find comps on, I will list those high because you never know. Pantyhose, if they're sealed, I'll pick them up. They're a nice bread and butter item. They're typically long tail. When I say long tail, that can be one or two years, maybe even longer. I list it and forget it. And if you guys are new to my channel, you'll hear me say that all the time. I list it and forget it. I try not to touch my items over and over and over again because it just takes more time. Like I don't inventory. If for some reason my item disappears from eBay, I am not gonna know about it unless I just happen to figure it out by seeing it and being like, oh, that's not on eBay. But yeah, I don't do inventory. I don't take things out of my store and donate them. I leave everything listed. I have items that have sold after five to seven years. I do need to be more diligent about doing sell similar. Now, do I think you should do it every 30 days? No, I don't think that's necessary. But I do have some things that have been listed for over three years that I could probably end and sell similar and get them more active in the algorithm. This looks like, is it a cupcake holder? Should I've got the cupcake holder? I don't know what brand it was, but, or is it eggs? Is it cupcakes or eggs? I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it. I'm thinking about it, but I didn't take it. Would you guys have picked that up? I know a lot of people do Tupperware and do really well with it. Here's another mask. I went ahead and bought that. It hasn't sold. This little monkey actually surprised me. Comps were pretty good on that. It's a little pullback car. It's really, really cute. So again, all of my items are listed. I do have best offer on everything. And the majority of my items sell with best offer. I don't get offended by offers unless you offer me 99 cents or something ridiculous. I had that happen the other day on like a $40 item. I'm like, 99 cents, are you serious? That was a Barbie dog. And that dog has little pups that come out of her. She's like a pregnant dog. And when you move her, the pups come out, but I didn't have the pups. So I am just selling her as a replacement dog. Here's another item that was new old stock that I put over on my whatnot. So if you guys are interested in any of those what not buy it now items, they are over there. And you can get that $15 of free money by using my referral link to join what not. And if you wanna sell on what not, I have a separate link down below. It's also a referral link. And it will tell them that BoloBuddy sent you to join what not to be a seller. So it could increase your chances of getting accepted quicker. And I do know that certain categories they're trying to build up. So one category right now that is newer is I think like storage units. So that's kind of a one at this current time, but it's constantly changing. I think they just started a plush category. I know one time they were doing kids clothing category. So if you get in there and some of the newer categories that aren't flooded, you're more likely to get accepted. But one thing I can recommend when you apply, do a video or take really good pictures of your inventory because that is a big determining factor on whether or not you get accepted. They want people over on what not that have a lot of inventory so that they can have a lot of sales. So anyway, that links down below. I do have some videos on what not. There was somebody that bought a item on what not for $20 and they sold it on eBay for $995. And this was somebody that shared it with me on Instagram. And I'm like, oh my goodness, can I put that in a video? And they said, yes, absolutely. And you guys can check out that video. It's my most viewed video. Probably because everybody was wondering if they were the what not seller that sold something for $20 that almost sold for a thousand. Just absolutely crazy. So anyway, we're gonna keep digging here. I'm just kind of chit chatting with you guys while I dig because nothing's really popping up right now that I have bought and put in my cart. I think I put this in my cart. I can't remember if I listed it or not. Sometimes I hold things to the side and I'll put them in small lots. But that might be in my store now that I'm watching this back. I do check colored pencils because some of the vintage colored pencils can do really well, even if they're not in the original packaging. All right. We're gonna keep on digging here. Have you guys seen things that you would have picked up that I left behind? This was sealed. Maybe I should have got that. It had a barcode, but for some reason I threw it back. So I'm guessing I scanned it and it didn't comp out well. I think it was maybe an audio book. It may have even been cassette tapes. I usually don't pick up the cassette tapes. This is really cute. I don't know why I didn't pick that up. Does it have a name on it? Maybe that's why. If the stocking has a name on it, I typically leave it behind because those are gonna be harder to sell because you have to find the person that wants the stocking and has that name, right? And that's a little bit difficult to do. Like that one says something. All right, now we're over here in the bags. And I have told you guys before that I usually wait until everybody leaves this section or until it at least slows down because this section, woo wee, I did find this Nintendo DS Lite and it sold for parts. And it sold pretty quick, not too bad. It was a nice sale. I was happy to move that. And that was I think one of the items that was in my, it was a part of my 12 items that I picked up for the scavenger hunt. But I thought I would show it to you since it actually already sold. There's a couple items that sold that I have footage of that I included in this video. I think there's one more that I show you. So I added those in just so you guys could see that the item sold. Is that for a dog? I think that was for a dog. So I just said dog. And I do say dog kind of funny. Somebody in the comments, they're like, you say dog and brawl weird. And I was like, I do kind of say brawl, like they got into a brawl. You guys will find out if you are new to the channel that I mispronounce everything. I'm really bad at pronunciation. So I apologize ahead of time. This is a Mr. Potato Head. I went ahead and grabbed that and got that listed. So that's available in my eBay store. That'll probably be a long tail item. Maybe something that never sells. Who knows? You just gotta find the right person that wants the item. And your item has to be priced right. I don't know what this Levi's was, but I'm thinking I probably should have looked at that a little better. I don't, it could have been vintage. Who knows? I just passed it on by, threw it to the side. Got some hangers down there. Does anybody source their hangers from the bins? I mean, who needs more hangers? Oh my goodness, I have so many hangers. I just donated a ton of hangers because I am getting away from clothing. So anytime I sell clothes, I've got all these extra hangers because I currently have things hanging on racks. And if you watch my reseller vlogs, you can kind of see how my inventory is set up. Just started doing reseller vlogs probably within the past couple of two months. All right, I found Chanel, no way. No way, no way, no way. It's definitely a fake, right? I hope it's a fake because I threw that bad boy back in, but you could see there it looks like it was peeling. And I'm guessing that an authentic Chanel would not peel. This here is a Coach Mini cross body. I did check with Rachel Strickland on that one and she said it was authentic. So I went ahead and listed that. I listed this cute Do Not Disturb hat. It's available as well. There's also another Coach wallet that I pick up and I was not sure about that when I sent Rachel pictures and she was not sure either. So what I did is I just went ahead and sent that over to Rachel Strickland. That is her YouTube channel. Her YouTube channel is her name and it's right here. I wasn't sure if it was real or not. So I mailed that to her and I am gonna let her look that over and she can decide if it's real or not. If it's real, she can sell it. If it's fake, she can use it in a video and cut it up or do whatever she wants. But she has a whole bunch of videos on her channel where she teaches you how to authenticate. I can't say that word. Often, ah, anyway, she teaches you how to know if an item is real or not. So she will literally cut up purses to show you guys what to look for. So check out Rachel Strickland on YouTube. I will link her down in the description. All right, we're gonna keep on digging here. Right now I'm kinda looking for a bag for the scavenger hunt. I did end up finding something and I'm gonna show you another bag that ended up being damaged and I've talked about this before. I parted it out and I sold the strap. And I'm hoping that the strap covered the cost of the bag. I think it did.  I don't know if it would have been a good Y2K item. Thinking maybe I should have grabbed it. I'm gonna show it to you guys. You let me know what you think down in the comments. But I thought I would have been to it by now but now it's going to be probably here in a minute or so that you'll see it and I'll bring it up again. But just digging through the bags. A lot of people look through the bags for money. I don't typically do that. I'm just really looking for any Bolo items. This is the Juicy Couture purse. Would that have been from the 90s or later? I'm feeling like it was probably later but I'm also feeling like maybe I should have grabbed it. And then I'm gonna show you the Vera Bradley bag. I looked this thing over but I did not check the sides. And when I got home that thing was ripped to shreds on the side. It was like it went through a shredder. So I took the strap off and I sold the strap. And it sold for $7.80 plus shipping. So I was happy with that. This Neopets also sold, it's a CD case. I sold that for $31 plus shipping. And always pick up anything Neopets. It does pretty well. And we are getting towards the end of the video.  I would love for you guys to subscribe to the channel if you're not already. And if you are, thank you so much for coming back. And click on one of those other videos. Check out some of the other types of videos I do because I have so much variety of different types of videos that I do. And I would love for you to check something else out. All right you guys, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for watching. And I will see you at the next one. Thanks for watching.


To the outside world, my mum was a doting parent, but behind four walls I'm afraid it was nothing like that. I was abused in every shape and form. And I didn't know in them days, I just thought that was life. That was the life that we all have, you know what I mean? And then she, sometimes used to touch me inappropriately apart from the beatings. And everything was mental torture. I got told a lot of times you shouldn't be here and should be, that was my sister who died. I was told a lot of times, we don't want you. And I think that it all added up in the end. And to be fair, I think that I've done well. I come out of it as good as I have done, considering what it was like. And I can only describe it, looking back now, hell, I had loads of good people around me. And to be fair, like I've said, not every one of them was a fighter, but they all had amazing bottle. And they would never leave me, like I would never leave them. There's no one on this planet can say I ever left a man down. If a man went down, I picked him up. Who's the strongest family you've ever come up against? I think Millwall. I think Millwall and a couple of them games we played. How many people? Oh, more than 300 a side, you know what I mean? But they had a lot, when we went over there, they used to all turn out. Like I said, the two things that I regret is not keeping in touch with my daughter and the other one would be being born. They're the two things I regret and I couldn't change. You know, I didn't ask to come into this world. If I was given a choice, I wouldn't. Simple. And people say, yeah, all that and never got done. No, no. Find somebody who says they did me. Yeah, that's the challenge.  Find someone. Find someone who give me a good eye, then.

All right, welcome to today's functional group update for Create. My name is Dao Man and I am the engineering manager for the Create back-end team specifically. Create today is a product area, which means that it has back-end developers, front-end developers, UX designers, test automation engineers, product managers, and probably a couple more people I'm forgetting. But this functional group date being held by me will focus specifically on the back-end aspect of that product area and what the back-end Create team has been working on primarily. It is something that I want to start a conversation about because I don't think it's fair that every back-end engineering manager has his own FGU and then front-end has only one FGU for all the flaked areas. But that's something I'll get into outside of this FGU. For today, I would like to talk a little bit about what the Create back-end team has been up to since the last time we spoke on July 24th. We did a couple of things. We managed to release GitLab 11.2, we got started on 11.3, and we also got started on 11.4 just a little bit over a week ago. We went to the summit in Cape Town and we defined some OKRs. I'm not going to read the contents of every slide. I'm just going to go through them relatively quickly. I have the chat open in the second window, so if you have any questions, I suggest you ask them there. Just ahead of the Cape Town Summit, we released GitLab 11.2, and these are some of the more noteworthy contributions by the Create back-end team. The first one there is especially cool because it was a community contribution to the help of a Create back-end team member. If you want to read more about all of these issues, of course, I suggest checking them out, but this has already been in GitLab since August 7th, so chances are you already had a chance to use some of this functionality as well. Just after the 22nd, he went to Cape Town with the whole company, which served as a little bit of a distraction from 11.3, but it was a very welcome distraction. As you can see in the photo here, which is dropped out of a panoramic photo of both of the Create, Manage, and Plan team dinners, we had about 12, 13 people in attendance, and this is not just Create back-end, this is Create across the board. So you've got some front-enders in there, product managers, some partners, and all that. As you can see, we were having great fun in there on the right. I'm in conversation with Nick. Just like I mentioned, the summit took place during the 11.3 development month, but still we managed to push out quite a lot of functionality, and indeed we hit pretty much 100% of the deliverables that we had planned for that month, and two of these were just like 11.2 community contributions that were then finished by people on our team, either by heavily coaching the person who had initially started the merge request or by taking it over once they indicated that they were not interested in taking it any further. And as always, I suggest you check these out if any of these sounds interesting or relevant to you particularly, and if you have any questions about them, that's what you chat us for. So we finalized development with GitLab 11.3 on September 7th, and the next day on September 8th, we started working on GitLab 11.4. These are some of the major efforts we're working on. As always, there's a bunch of performance improvements in bug fixes as well, but the four here at the top are the major features that we are planning to ship in 11.4. Of course, until we finish the month on October 7th, we won't know yet what will actually be going into that release, and that's something that I'll update you on the next time around. Another thing that I did a couple of days ago is that I defined the 2018 Q4 OKRs 40 create team. The first two here are kind of the same across the board for all backend development teams. We want to preserve 100% of the error budget. If that's news to you, I suggest following that link and reading up on what that means exactly. But we're trying to get a little bit better about tracking how many bugs and of what kind of severity are introduced by the company and by each team. Not as a means of punishing people, but as a means of seeing a positive trend over time of us becoming better and more responsible about what we do and don't merge at certain times during the month. We are also planning to add two backend developers to the team by the end of the year, so in Q4, I'm going to be working on hiring two developers, and the team will be helping me in interviewing, of course, but also in sourcing candidates from their local network and LinkedIn and local meetups, that kind of stuff. The third OKR is one that I personally decided to prioritize. Go-Lang, Go-Programming language is becoming increasingly important to recreate product area with projects like Gitly and GitLab Workhorse and GitLab Shell now also being in the process of being rewritten in Go. And we as Create Team have a lot of Ruby and Rails expertise, but not so much Go yet, so we're kind of dependent on people from other teams to help us out there, which is not really sustainable. So for this quarter, I really want every team member to get at least two Go merge requests into some of these Go projects, and Nick, our staff developer, who does already have a lot of Go experience will be helping these team members out with that. And otherwise, before we speak again on November 13th, these are some of the things that are going to happen for Create, and on November 13th, I'll be sure to update you about how these things went. Since there are no messages in the chat, there's one question. If we gradually introduce a feature using Feature Flags, let's see it go south and turn it off before it's a disaster. Do we lose error budgets? I cannot say for sure, because I don't have it seen it written down somewhere, but I would assume no, because if we fix it by just flipping the switch, the impact on production will be minimal. But I should sit on mute it themselves, so he might do something bad. Or it might just be me thinking he had on mute it himself. I was going to make clientele evaluation self-contained. That is a question that if we have any Create from there, and there's on the call, I would ask them to jump in. Like I was saying earlier, this is kind of a Create back-end heavy call because I am the one leading it, and I want to change that. Is there anyone Create front-end in the call who could comment? Respond to Sid's question. In that case, I suggest asking the question in the G Create channel where the whole Create team lives, front-end back-end through XPM everyone. And I'm sure people will have a great response there. Why I am to preserve 100% of the error budget is that anticipating getting to 70%. The thing about the error budget is that we did it for the first time in Q3, and I am kind of hoping to hear back from the infrastructure team on how Create and other teams have done over the month, and also on what we are planning to do in the following months to improve that. Right now, I'm kind of blind there, but I will definitely be working and getting that data. So I think that's where the order is about to come through a close. So I think that's when those conversations will start happening between the different back-end teams and infrastructure. And it looks like Tommy has already asked his question. Sorry, Sid, go ahead. Yeah, so Tommy, you're saying that the real goal isn't to preserve because 100% would be silly, like then we're moving too slow. Right, 100% is the stretch goal. So we would expect normal performance to be 70%. In particular, we've got the qualifier in there about some KRs being new approaches or processes. And really what we're saying is we expect kind of a broad distribution with new goals like the error budget where some teams may hit 100%. Some teams may totally blow the whole budget as we try to figure out what that means and how we're going to measure it and try to dial it in. And it's not that you want people to set the budget at a level where you expect, because now it's not clear how much you should use. Like there is a, like if we set a budget in finance, it's like, this is how much we expect you to spend. Right. The budget in this case is set. The managers aren't setting budgets. We've got, let me grab the handbook link for this real quick, because it's on the engineering handbook page. But it's a fixed budget per team. I think it ends up being like 100 points and different severity issues end up reducing the number of points that you can have. Yeah, I'm aware of how it's set.  Like if you don't build, no mistakes means no new features. So how, how do teams know how to make the trade off? But I think that's a bigger question. So I'll leave it out of this. I agree. That's a good question. That's for the client side evaluation question here. I'm just not clear what, what do you mean? In particular. So right now we ship client side evaluation, except it's only for public projects and only if it's a flag is turned on and it's off by default. Like, and that's because every project that you use client side evaluation from four is shipped to code sandbox. So like they have access to all the code and you might not, you might not be comfortable with that. Even if you're using a, if you have a public project, it might be that your server is behind a firewall and you don't expect public projects to leak onto the internet. So talking about the web ID. Yeah. No, no, no, I understand. I will defer that to Phil because he's the, the engineer more. I don't think he's on the call though. We'll, we'll try to get back to you on the, on G create on that. Is that fair? Yes. That's totally fair. And I think he's making progress and I joined one of the calls. I'm just surprised it doesn't show up in any of the, the road maps or the highlights. I'll double check that. All right. Thanks. Yeah. And so that is in part why I think that we should kind of rethink these back and heavy FG use because there's so much that are fontan team and the create frontenders are doing that deserves, you know, attention in a call like this, but that's something that I will work on with Andre and with James Ramsey as well, product manager to kind of get the balance of content a little bit better. Maybe they should be back in the front end calls, but they should be create calls. Yeah, exactly. That's what I was thinking, but I'm going to create an issue and start a discussion because of course it applies to all of the different, you know, product area based teams that we have currently with their mix of back and front end UX, et cetera. Cool. Cool. Well, in that case, everyone gets 20 minutes back and I'll see most of you in the team call. Have a great day everyone.
