And we are live I say we I should say I am live But I guess I'm live with you so we can say we are live because we're all interacting Let's not think about that like you know, how you word things matters, right? Welcome to vlog. There's a number 312 I always got a look. I don't remember the number I Should probably script it stick it on like a Teleprompter something but there's no teleprompter for this camera matter of fact I don't even use a teleprompter very often. So mostly it's me looking over to the side where my other monitor is and reading off What it is we're gonna talk about today, but I did make some notes It's funny because I started doing notes and then somehow like the Christmas break New Year's thing made me forget that I started doing vlog notes and You know, I should be more organized. So I'm gonna be more organized Yeah, that's right. I see Travis just typed. It's 313 next week. Yep Yep. Yep. Yep. What beer are we gonna have today? That's a good question. Probably the same one I don't all maybe hold on. What do I have? I don't even know. I probably sell the same beers. I drink About two or three beers a week. That's about it. I'm not a I don't drink much So it's a once in a while thing and if I'm gonna drink, why not enjoy? Maybe vlog Thursday will be the day I have a beer and we'll do a long live stream I kind of like these long live streams. So Nonetheless The replacement for the net gate 7100 any news. Yeah, it's called the 8200 thunder thunder page But first let's go through the notes before I get too far into answering questions. We will answer lots of questions The where in when part I've now put on there where and when I'm gonna be Someone just messaged me asking me to speak on a panel. So I haven't said yes yet I literally got that message which maybe late staring at it. I haven't decided what I'm gonna answer But right now as of today, I don't have anything booked going in forward So I don't have anywhere and when I'm gonna be but I will be going to some events this year. I don't know which ones I Trying to be more deliberate with what events I go to there's going to too many events just kind of burns me out But you know, I'm not I don't like to travel and apparently neither does Southwest Airlines And I don't usually fly Southwest Airlines But I do have to deal with other airports where Southwest Airlines is and therefore I hate all the travel disruption I love going places where I can drive and I will drive eight hours to avoid flying at all So I have no fear of planes. I hate the disorganization and inefficiency around it So my travel plans are greatly influenced by proximity and driving so That's where I want to start there Let's see one of the things that I'm gonna bring up because I put it at the beginning So I'll bring it up in the beginning are these Amcrest cameras now One of the problems is and the the hookup if hey if you're watching I they got a good channel where they've covered some of these different Amcrest cameras the Amcrest cameras themselves I'll get this out of the box real quick Look at this. It's all in here. This one is got to go back to the office I haven't here for a demo, but this is the same one. I have installed I think Yes, it is yep, this is the same one same exact one I wanted to make sure I had the right model but the Amcrest cameras I kind of want to do a follow-up on these now. I've got the video Done already and it's called Amcrest and Synology I've covered how they work with the Synology surveillance station and the details of it I'll throw a link in there. So make sure it's really easy to find Let me get the exact video title real quick But if you search my channel for Amcrest, there's not many other videos with that title But we're gonna throw it in here. I just want to bring up something about these cameras Perfect, this is the exact video which I should probably just add it Let me add it to the description of this video that we people who are watching can go Hey, I just want to get to that thing what Tom was talking about with the Amcrest cameras So let's go ahead and add this to the description This is gonna be Amcrest camera video I was referring to which has all the links to the exact model of the camera right is now in the description and We will also throw it in here to the chat So it's into the chat now as well But what I want to talk about though specifically and why I brought these cameras up is the longer term review now that video itself is When did I publish that video? Let's see is they they do not make the date easy to find Let me click on it, so it'll tell me in the bottom, but it always tells me yet ten months ago So it's about I've had the cameras since October or November October ish is when I installed the cameras Then I did the video of them and what I want to do and this is the part that can be a little bit trickier and I want to get more into doing this as a Way to share this with the audience because another thing we'll be talking about today, which may add it to my notes real quick is the What was that thing called Okay, this is something else we'll talk about in a moment All right Let's make sure I have the notes before the thought falls out on my head But the long-term review is something that I think is really important because you can do a video as a Creator as a someone who creates content about hey, I like this product that doesn't answer the question though What does the product look like in a year from now and that's where we're at We're a little over a year, so we're all the way here in January and I bought this and installed it so it has been installed it has been in use outside of my You know an outside outdoor environment and Michigan is probably not the harshest environment I mean, we've had some below zero very cold days. We've had some Hot days that hit the hundred degree mark So what does a year of being outdoors mean for that camera? Did it fail? Did it work? Does the camera still look good and it's had no problems at all Now this is that longer-term thing. I want to kind of cover with these cameras and kind of bring up I don't know if it needs a dedicated video or not That's why I threw it the title in this one I want to put at the beginning because people are looking at but This is one of those things like the real link cameras are an example though in the past a few years ago I had done some videos with these real link cameras and I was like These just started dying. We had a couple of them that had weird death The weird death that we had I think two of them did this half of the camera would work Like half the pixels would just go away. It would be the top of the bottom half We had other ones that had moisture problems that got into the camera. This camera's been outside for over a year through varied conditions like it's even raining right now and it doesn't have any moisture problems, so I'm Curious to know all the audience's thoughts on some of that is you know What do you think on some of the long-term on these and I think this is a better indicator when you buy a product now? This is hard when a new product comes out is what what's this long-term look like a new product is a very Hard to answer thing because we haven't even as a youtuber here Or creator and user of products and I try to bring the experience from my using these products into my reviews I don't really have as easy of an answer For how you figure that out on a new product is you're taking a gamble hoping it's built quality But you can usually factor in does this company have a history of producing quality? Parts and if they do cool that kind of plays into your discussion factor on these But we deploy and this is where I got to run through our invoice system Maybe I will do a follow-up video because if I did it like this it might be more helpful If I counted just how many of these anchors cameras we've sold which is a lot So Tom is a data point when he talks about it like hey Tom has one on his house or Actually have several of them on my house, but when you talk about the data point of we bought 300 400 of these and we aren't returning them That would be probably a little bit more interesting, so I Would say the Amcrest and by the way we have bought Quite a few of these it's definitely in the hundreds based on how many we've installed and the reason we keep buying them going forward Is because they don't die so I will try to dig up some stats and try to put together some of these The problem sometimes with the stats is the way we do our consulting Sometimes the client buys the product that we recommend But we engage with the client over longer periods of time So we would be made aware if there was a failure because the client would need our help, you know setting it back up so the Longer term review I can give on easy Amcrest cameras is a big thumbs up because they work, you know the well They work consistently. They work over time We've installed these at places that some of them even longer installs than the install at my house here for over a year And it continues to work So What software am I using to monitor the cameras? I threw that in there. That's that link I had posted and I'll share The link again along with what the title of the video is because I think that should all be in here at once share copy and I'm using Sonology Surveillance Station for all of this So that's a soundly surveillance station works great. Some people had someone I had made some comment on how much they don't like it I like it. I know Travis likes it He's a big fan of Sonology as well. I've been really happy with the Overall quality that you get out of it the reliability the extra features you get with the surveillance station It works really really well We can also do this this is something else that I was playing with do I have any bookmarked ones they search Camera because there's two different Sonologies I have in here that or not I am crest of that mention who's that's my neighbor Had some of these Filter I'm a little more, but I've got a whole video on how all this works and do you have bookmarked ones or locked ones Nope, no locked ones The other thing that I want to bring up and at these and out these have Is Who's on my porch? Oh, there's my kids taking some presents out There's me when it was snowing Yeah, the quality in these cameras is Quite good So I just want to bring it up as a long-term follow-up. So paranoid much Sure Had some really cameras outdoor so turn rain these for years now still alive Yeah, real links been hit and miss like some of the jobs He did where you put a lot of real link in a couple died But not all of them died not every real link died But compared to Amcrest, we've had a much higher failure rate on real link comparatively speaking. Oh, let's see It's cat 5e okay for outdoor cameras. Yes, and one of the things you may not realize about outdoor cameras And we'll pull this up real quick I'll switch screens here in a second so all my cameras are powered off the unify here and I'd like to point out something though They're not connected at a really high speed because they just don't need to be people who think you need to run cat six outside You know if you have cat five, you're perfectly fine if you Look at the color coating on this, I know it's really small I don't think I can make that much bigger But you'll notice that these are a different color. These are the cameras. You can see the camera names here You can see the wattage you're using so these are where all the cameras are They're all connected at 100 not one gig because they don't need to be I've I've had people ask that Well, doesn't it need to be at a hundred? Why you're not transferring that much data Some people especially when they're going but doesn't 4k require it I can get Netflix and 4k and I don't need even a hundred meg connection from my internet provider to get Netflix and 4k So the fact that you could stream things in 4k and it's less than a hundred meg tells you that yes You can have these cameras even exceed 4k and still not need gig internet. So just a few thoughts there Next time in residence knowledge, you know it all on the team. So ask away. Yes Travis is a big Synology fan. So he is our resident Synology Person at the office. He he knows the models very well What's the what's the best way to install xcp and g in an Amcrest camera, I don't know don't think I have an answer that Is the sound you also your NAS using a second box or true NAS for that? I have several bottom, you know I should do a home tour. I haven't done that in a while So I did my office tour, but I I have a few Synology boxes So I have one Synology dedicated to recording. I have another Synology dedicated to doing miscellaneous things and backing stuff up And I also have a Couple true NAS boxes. So I kind of use a mix of all of them I do prefer and it is my recommendation that if you want to have an NVR and you'd like to publicly expose said NVR that you also Have that NVR be dedicated for NVR and not anything you may you know worry about That way if they ever found a flaw in the NVR software and you have it externally accessible What would be accessible now? The other side of it is if you have a fast analogy that can run the NVR in other services and maybe that other service you're running is your own Collection of movies and you're less worried because you're like it's low risk because I just found these on the internet somewhere and Ran my run them on here. So you're not a big deal. Maybe there's considerations there But it's just a risk factor that I keep a dedicated box for doing that I'm not gonna camera ship there fairly generic in the system So you connect to or some of them proprietary need specific recording servers the nice thing about the Amcrest cameras as they support your standard Is it oh, oh, I say it wrong all the time. It's like o-vif on vif But when you're setting up the cameras and we'll go into the camera setup itself They're just using I do have one real link in here by the way I pulled up the one but they're using a standard protocol So the Synology can talk to lots of different ones I had one of these real links because when we stopped buying them we bought an extra one and We we had it because we weren't sure if any more we're gonna break and I remember we I think we preemptively ordered one more Well, we haven't had any more breaks So I stuck this one in my garage because it was just kind of hanging out at my office So I do have One real link camera the rest are all Amcrest so we can edit these but the number of Cameras supported by Synology is amazing. There's thousands of cameras in there Synology has a database you can go look them up to see which ones are like not just supported because they support generic o-vif But specifically supported for advanced features a lot of companies recommend shielded cat for outdoors I don't think you need shielded, but you can I mean done hurt 4k is 32 megabits per second and h264 that is correct I Think I'll take your word for it that you did the math on that Microstere microstere cards and your cameras just run them with a local store. I run them all with the Synology as a storage. I don't I don't put the cards inside of the cameras themselves. Some of the cameras do support that Yes, h265 will save on some bandwidth as well. You can Encode almost anybody comes on they have enough cpu power to get decent clothing bit rate. We're targeting. Yeah Can ever cross be matter where the unified protect? No that's a no and Travis has the Synology camera compatibility posted right here. It's easy to find Synology comm en us compatibility slash camera How much stores you need in for an average mvr stuff unified dream machine only has one hard drive for that That is all comes down to like if you're doing motion activated you'll end up with a lot more Synology has it also a great. Uh, let me pull it up so we can talk about it the nvr calculator You can go to this right here and I'll throw the link in the So you guys have it easy enough also do a search Synology nvr calculator But this will give you an idea of how much storage you might need it's an nvr selector So it's gonna suggest the nvr, but it also tell you some storage ideas and you can set what you want your bit rates to be You know are we doing 4k are we doing h.264 h.265 number of cameras? And this is generic this kind of applies to not just Synology. This is a generic. Hey, this is what you're recording at This is what you're doing. You also have to think about your type of recording you're doing how many hours of recording How many days to store? It's there's a lot to figuring That little detail out Go was already sold on unify for switching and had a good dream machine Would you push them away from unified protected and towards Synology for cams? It depends on what it comes on is or is what their use case is I mean this the cameras aren't awful for Unify they have a good quality camera if someone already had the system in place. Yes, but the Unify system there's limitations. It's whether or not you are on those limitations as whether or not you Would push someone away from that that's really what it comes down to it's not like there's a Here they're like, oh, I really want these features I want archiving and backup and I need like 120 days of storage Well, then that's suddenly not a unifying nbr unless you get one of the larger units That does have the ability to store more data because you can put more drives in it but it still doesn't have an archiving function if that's something required the Unifying interface is beautiful like I think they did a great job on the nbr So it's not like I tell people never to get it But I always ask what are your requirements and do you think those requirements will change in the future as long as they're not running up a Anything there We we don't push them away from I forgot to mute to my phone Me mute that I don't know if that came through or not. All right phone muted So Someone had a question in here Here's a weird one. Do you have proxmox with NFS here? No problem UDM firewall switch P of sense firewall all IPv4 NFS shares always show disconnected only proxmox in if I ping them show immediately connect again. Don't don't ever route your NFS through the firewall. That's the answer to that one.  You're doing it wrong Which free open source alternative do you recommend? I have not found a good one if someone finds one That's actually good open source that works Let me know. Maybe I'll evaluate it anytime. I've looked at them. They're never good. They're very I Don't want to maybe half baked is the word like they're just they don't feel like a complete project They they take a lot of resources and maybe there's just not enough skilled people that want to write an open source NBR. I don't know I'd be all for one. I'm a big open source advocate I just haven't ever found one that would compel me to go. Wow, this has all the things I'm looking for. I always feel like we're close when I play with one of the NBR projects, but they are never Good, they're they're never they never feel feature complete at all Can you recommend a good video that compares protect versus? Synology I have to do a new I have an older video for it So if you look at my older video on it, I have to do a new woman because there's so many new features that have been added to The unified protect system so the unified protect has actually gotten a ton of great new features and so his analogy So the video is now somewhat dated because both products actually have added more features now There's still some strong differences between them The Synology is much less flexible, you know, sorry not so you the unified protect is much less flexible One of the things that unified kind of gives me the feeling of is Apple like the way they kind of do things is like this is our ecosystem and kind of locked in it only works with our cameras Which is fine. I mean, that's their prerogative to do that and you get this kind of somewhat locked in ecosystem and I think that's where It just I don't know that's the part that turns me off a little bit But it also turns me on to have to hand it to someone go Here's your complete and easy system to set up. That's a hundred percent integrated into itself with you know, no No extras you got to find no extra figuring out what camera to use you use the camera options They give you they just work. There's no licenses involved in there and we have both systems by the way We do have a unified protect system. So I do actively keep it up and running and working We have the magic video tube as we call it the UP viewport for display Yeah, this thing works like we we are actively using it. It does have detections for things, you know when detects vehicles people walking in It it works fine like for the features it has I think it works great. We can actually see Miles walking his dog here brings in a puppy. So the The quality of the system is good. It's easy to find things with a detection. I don't have any Any issues that I kind of like the way they've updated this for the motion Tracking they've made it so much nicer. So I got to do an updated video of how it works Like these I like the little heat maps that gives you for when the vehicles were here like it's really cool It needs but there's so many I Don't know it's just it only does what it does and that's it you can't extend the functionality anymore Thanks to the person who gifted me a sub here. I I see this, but I don't know how that works So people can gift you subscriptions. It's awesome. I I don't know it doesn't show me any of that. So I See it says like Yeah, I don't I see new people having members, but I don't really understand cool that it's gifting people Have you tried blue iris? I'm not enter some blue iris because it runs on windows people like blue iris It's a great hobbyist thing. It's fun for the home lab. There's a lot of cool things you can do in it It's got a lot of extensibility But it runs on windows and I would not try to sell that commercially or anything like that That's what a big unifying VR just before pandemic supply chains If you easy to get Amcrest cameras supply chain is really killed the sales of any unified stuff because the camera is not being available It's been a big problem zone minder does not feel like anything more than a Very basic project like anytime I've looked at it I think they finally did get around to updating it some like so it's a little bit better But it it didn't feel complete at all Like it felt really challenging to set up and not something I would want to rely on Using a PSS firewall as a Cisco and I have a Cisco SG 30 hundred switch for VLAN one my try to connect a she-dell I mean I can ping a firewall rules to any any I don't understand the question But at times that one connected remote console or web interfaces Not really sure why posted in the forums to be better so we can get some more details in a setup Are using PFL which used to do a video. Nope. I don't use it It looks interesting, but I I don't really have a need for it Have you seen Hick vision one the Hick vision one? I think it's open source, but haven't tested I don't think anything Hick vision does is open source. I think you are mistaken there Did you always like open source your younger? Window I had to use windows more when I was younger, but I've been an open source advocate since 1997 ish, I think that's when I first started getting more into open source was right around 97 9 maybe 98 I became a mail server admin The beginnings of it. I should say in beginnings of doing some eight. I'm sorry not HPX, but um The first one I did was AIX IBM's Unix and then I also had access to some Linux servers When I worked at a job then from there I bought more Linux servers And you know it became an addiction at that point I actually started out in red hat and moved over to Debbie and they can move to Debbie in around 2001 2002 it's been it's been a minute. It's one of things that I didn't really document when I switched I remember getting aggravated with red hat and some of the dependencies and once I learned the apt package manager, I'm like, this is better and There I've been an average so yeah, well over 20 years an open source advocate though I've just installed a network stack at home. You make the dream machine And some power redundancy my family wants to solve 20 PoE cameras recommendations I don't think the unified dream machine se would do 20 PoE cameras I also don't know the stock levels of 20 PoE cameras That might be your challenge for if you want to stick in the unified ecosystem if not the am Amcrest cameras like I was just recommending earlier and crests along with Synology it works great Have you looked into frigate open source? I think and it's feature really feature compete. So is frigate an MVR So I guess we'll have to look How hard is it to set up there would be the next question? It looks actually pretty basic This is their object stuff. So that's kind of neat features reuse false positives Zone recording Documentation it looks like it's cool because it internites. I'll I'm gonna bookmark this to take a look at it later So I'll see how good it works or how hard it is to set up I mean not that this is hard to do it. It's Back this goes back to looks more like a home user project or a homelab project. It's not a bad thing, but it's also not It's not where me add it to my Stuff like I might do a video on it because it's it'd be an interesting homelab project that I think people want to get into but yeah When you do a new video, can you include coverage of a accelerated image section features working on which platforms? Sure I've actually covered that in this analogy. I just haven't covered it in the Latest unify They're on the same land and the Proxmox end of his service address to see my p-shears that They should be on the same land. I don't do Proxmox. I'm not the best Proxmox person Easy gaming you're trying to set up a gaming server with two ISP failover has been looking into zero tier And setting up a VPN like linoad cool Not sure the best way to accomplish this video how do ports work with VPN tunnels and the game servers I am over the trek to our management all for my semi-advice. I don't understand the goal very well You might be best to post the forums and I if you don't know I post a lot in my forums I reply to a lot of people's comments as I may need a better understanding what you're trying to do Unify notifications are broken can't see on mobile web legacy I even I don't really use the notifications on Unify. So I don't know I don't think I would trust commercially the Unify access system It's interesting, but I don't know if that's commercial Send mail with M4. Yeah, I started in send mail and then I as a send mail admin then it became a Then I was using Postfix later postfix and proc mail. I used to write a lot of proc mail recipes I used to know regex. It makes me angry that so much of that has just fallen out of my head True nascale Thoughts on HickVision I had experienced one of them and I would not use a HickVision nvr Always nice when you get permission to build a home lab. Yes, it is Thoughts on a decade 8200 vs. 6100 the 800 faster So my thoughts are and they have the specs. This is one of those things that people keep asking me to do a speed test on the 8200 This is throw this out there real quick folks Share this tab throw it up here They have the speed information right here under performance. They have it for the 6100. They have it for the 8200 so Do which one do you need more of? Slackware. Yeah, a lot of people started with slackware. I remember not getting it to work But I didn't put a lot of effort into it a red hat With the floppy disk that was the first experience, which was really bad getting x windows to work Right was really hard back then to get the mouse work It seems hard to get a job in open source not really It's you if you are good at dev ops and open source things like hey, I'm a Kubernetes engineer I can build you a really great systems and reliability You'll find a job if you are good at some of the open source and security It's a kind of specific hands open source is Not exactly a job title. It's kind of depending on what you do But there are is high demand especially in the cyber security right now is crazy For using and having a knowledge because I have friends that are like good with Python and scripting and automation that work in the realm of like using it to manage security stacks and Even though I mean, I think they're tier three guys are making a hundred and sixty hundred and seventy thousand dollars a year So, I mean if you're good at some of that I guess you could qualify it as an open source job because they're doing some of the programming, but yeah With Sigwin and W cell plus things like GP for a win and putty as long as you've got a good Linux server in your room No need to deal with Linux in the gaming dev desktop Speaking of apt have you looked at Nala nope Bring it looks like a zone minder fork might be Every experience a single device spamming an AP so much it actually fills the ST table and if I I've simulated it, but I've not had any I don't really run into it very often By the way, this is still a threat vector if you will that I don't care what Wi-Fi you have You can force those I think I did a video on a while ago you could just force those disconnect packets and Denial of service Wi-Fi denial of service of Wi-Fi is easy You can throw a lot of noise. You can force disconnect packets Wi-Fi is no matter who makes it doesn't matter if it's unifier Cisco once you have RF frequencies Someone who can make noise in that spectrum is going to cause problems for you. It's just the nature of it System do you PTU is gonna if no, I don't I don't like PTZ, but you can use PTZ with This analogy it does work I have a friend help from small basic That IT infrastructure at a bit clinic. I have five plus windows workstation a basic NAS needs some user manager Do you recommend when server out with domain controller? Yeah, a lot of times for compliance you're gonna have to go with When server with the domain controller, it's gonna work the best for all your user management Good and bad. There's also controlling things through Azure Azure AD and tying all the systems to that all depends on if they need anything on prem If your CPU doesn't support hyperthreatings itself from meltdown There's a lot of mitigations for that. So I need a little bit more Contextual, but yeah, if you don't support hyperthreading then it's that's that is a more of a hyperthreading problem I don't I don't I have to look to see it. I don't think there was any Exceptions I think it had to be hyperthreading not just CPU cores that they could do I could be wrong about that look up the mitigations on it Recently so your issue proxy video, but I'm new to pfSense. I used to copy your Certificates of your cron jobs all my machines that are using a general proxy. Oh, thank you. Awesome. That is a great way to do it Postfix or proc mail and xm4 anything I wouldn't dream of running anything more than an outbound relay anymore. Yeah, I don't recommend running Mail servers anymore yourself I've set up that word at home with h a proxy through the VPN and your browser extension But I can't get the Windows software and Android shows it failed to fetch how we're using I don't use it on my phone So I don't really know what challenges may come with it. My problem is and this is me being security conscious. This is Where all of my 2fa codes live, so I don't want my passwords here, too So my passwords live in bit warden my 2fa lives here on my phone. Therefore. I don't use the bit warden phone app I prefer qmail. They were a courier MTA. Yeah, remember those I wouldn't trust any of those Hick vision or different How would I describe them best because everything's made in China? But when the firmware and software is of low quality written in China I have a very much, you know distrust in that particular software And I don't think they've had a if I'm not mistaken. It was just another Hick vision and VR CVE Remember there was something in the news recently. I just don't think I trust their products very well There's some problems with them. I'm finding here. Let me look but I'd have to read into it There's a couple times in the news that these were in there were a few different CVE's So there's I don't know. I don't I just don't have a good feeling about them in terms of quality Random question. What is the oldest server you've seen still running for a client? And are you afraid to work on it? Always afraid to work on old service that there's weight in a die. I don't know what the oldest one is I mean, we've seen people running all kinds of I mean, we still have a client running a Windows 95 machine that that works. We have an OS to we have client running OS to stuff or yeah OS to warp Regarding some questions unified related access myself one year ago working without issues so far awesome All right, if you if I think you're set up router stick, you can use p. So you think you can use I don't understand that question You can do router on a stick if that's the question Which consider looking at ptrg. I don't have a use case for that Glad to catch you on a live stream. Thanks for all you do for the homelabs awesome Just want to say thank you so much for the continue put on learn systems channel I know you're a business, but I will say you've been a great resource for me personally awesome. Thank you very much That's for all Wi-Fi comms not just Wi-Fi. Yes I'm gonna roll through some of these questions Can you show us how you determine how much NAS spaces need to back up your office 365 in Synology? You gotta figure out how much data's in your office 365 I Don't have time to log in. I don't have an office 365 account except for client ones I'm not logging into them here, but you can Google search pretty easily and find how to figure out how much data is in your office 365 account How do I mitigate nuclear EMPs? I have no idea. I'm sure there's a readup you find out I Just don't see myself using Nala Unless it's built in if they built it in maybe Do you have any worker on pf sens plug where the GUI shows? When it's not connected or invalid. I've not seen I can't if you have a bug like that Report it to them so they can fix it. Yeah, I do know that They're no they're allowed to be imported into the United States They can't be used on government federally funded projects that I think is the rules When I work for Amazon, we were forbidden hooking up HickVision to our networks. Yep. I should do a video about UPS I keep thinking about it, but I don't I've done a video about UPS is in general, but one specific to homelab It's a the sale prices are all over the place I was able to get a really nice one that I'm using right now for a good price But that price is not even available. It's $500 more now So supply chain has caused prices to be like if I told you hey, it's a good deal to buy this one Then all of a sudden the prices have shifted. So I don't know what a good deal is on there Why am I green and have your logo? I have no idea Huh, I never got expiring once Kubernetes add-ons and stuff full option. Yes, it always seems to work just for me Proxmox seems very nice alternative Yes, you can back up 365 to Synology. Yes Does my microphone support VIM? I don't know how to exit my microphone. So I'm not sure we should put that in it This angers people I've learned so if there's a dumb comment. I've got is some of my older videos where I had this microphone in shot That is a common comment that people have Yeah, that's fun No, well, thanks to whoever that was oh These are people I think that are getting someone's gifting people stuff I guess is that I don't know how that works I'll be completely honest It's not the mic. It's the mic being in shot that seems to Bother people in a weird way I Don't know they just seem bothered. You know, I it's weird when this is this is one of the reasons I said forum privacy This is a weird one that I didn't I found a new way to make someone mad and I didn't I deny a lot of these But someone got mad enough To complain on Twitter to me about it, which I thought was funny as well So basically what happened was someone I if you try to send for my forums, so we'll go over to Forums that large systems back up So here's my forums are publicly available and viewable blah blah blah and lots of people are in here. I Matter of fact, hold on. Let me make sure I don't expose anything on the admin panel Yeah, there we go Zoom this in a little bit. Let's make sure if I scroll down too far There are I think it has some information in there It might be that people's email addresses, but I always hide all that but right now we have den like on a daily average We have a thousand active users logged in five thought well 4,000 4,000 40 40 100 it varies these red ones are crawlers like when the site gets re-indexed every now and then I get hit with a Large re-index for whatever reason but nonetheless you see there's about 4,000 viewers a day here about Thousand people logged in depending on the day now There's a lot of people very active in my forums But the the value of forums has nothing to do with technology value of forums is how you moderate and how you Curate those forums that being said I can't allow people with anonymous email addresses in here because they spam it Used to allow it it got to be too much spam and spam does not make for a good place to go for forums With people posting ads all the time So I stopped allowing anonymous email addresses and that seems to anger people and by the way if you sign up with an anonymous email address I send you a rejection notice. This is I don't allow anonymous email addresses pretty simple and But someone was mad about this thing. I'm a violating privacy. I'm not a privacy advocate blah blah blah And I said quite honestly if you have a better way to deal with spam, let me know I will I don't want your email address I just don't have another way to validate to stop the spammers So because a few people just complain that my form should be Allow for anonymous posting and I'm like, I'm sorry that would go horribly wrong. We have plenty of forums that do that They're terrible There's there's a level of moderation. It's just kind of needed for things.  I don't know if I'm actually I'm asking if someone knows a better solution I don't know of one so Best I can do is see I used to have my forums my very first start of my forums They were on Facebook and I got rid of them on Facebook because people said I don't like Facebook And I said that's a fair statement of not liking Facebook for being not the best company out there And I said you're right. I should own the data Maintain it and say I'm the maintainer of the data, which is why I host my own forums I approve all the people in the forums. I control it and I don't sell your data I don't want I wish I didn't have to have your email address But it seemed like the bare minimum I needed to make this functional and curate a good community So I'm always open to thoughts on some of that. What else here? How does a cheap proxy handle additional ports? For example, if I wanted to put unified controller behind one a cheap proxy You can do a lot of different ports The servers behind it could be ports all over the place and then it uses whatever the Fully qualified domain name you have coming in so whether it's a domain or subdomain or multiple different domains Any one of those coming in can be the trigger point by which it determines which back end the front-end server Listens to what's coming in under the SNI header and figures out what back-end server it lands to so you can handle it On multiple ports that way Have you found an open source backup program? I met mail which is good like backup my mail seems to be good I don't have any I Don't use any of those You should shoot an entire instructional video the microphone right over your face We can do this. I Seven Mac Pro with a Zeon. I don't understand as a question A human capture not enough. No, well, no, it's not human capture. Definitely not enough. This is silly. I Thought it may be a core broken BB. I don't Missed some context on that. Yeah anonymous posting just leads to 4chan. It sure does It sure does Security is in verse to privacy a little bit. It's not really security. It's just you know, if I want If you want a good moderated forum that where people can have a conversation about technology and the topics You can't let the morons in there that keep on the post ads for everything You can Do something silly telephone verification or even requiring establish reddit account over a year. Oh, yeah, that would be a pain I'd say new posts until you Reply in that comments at Lawrence systems have a moderation forum spam accounts. Oh, it'd be so work so much work to do that See it possible remote access to my network and wire guard while using a network wide wire guard VPN P a sense and then back out the VPN. Um, it'd be tricky to set the routing, but it can do that Easier I've done a video on tail scale just use tail scale. It makes it way easier for from a setup standpoint Um, I don't know which ones are supported I think some of them might be but man telling you telling people that they'd have to have a Facebook ID to get there Seems worse than just verifying an email address Because by the way, I let people have proton mail addresses I don't have a restriction. You don't have to have a Gmail you can use a proton mail address and a lot of people do matter of fact I can probably do a count and maybe this would be a fun stat I could take the all the thousands of thousands of registered users and say what are the more common domains that we see here and You know, I don't I don't a problem a proton mail That's a pretty common one and you don't need to have anything personally identifiable But that effort you go through through setting up and having a proton mail and making sure you can get the mail to get The verification message so you can post in the forums. I think is enough to stop the spammers for now Who knows someone's gonna integrate chat GPT into automated email setup and automated spam posting because you know That's where we're headed in life, right? I Don't understand this I don't get what the secret key function why it makes it so good I don't understand it. It seems like an extra layer of redundancy that doesn't make a lot of sense to me I'm just not seeing the use case. Maybe I'm just not smart enough for that Emacs sticker. Oh, yeah How do you manage so many pf sensors out some sort of management portal? Do you think pf sensors actually make one? I don't understand. This is a question. It comes up a lot Is everyone wants a mention for what what do you want to manage? What do you want to see? we have I Think around 60 businesses that we have pf sensors that we manage. We just when the new version comes out We go into each one of them update it. I mean We know if they're up or down from our RMM tool because if we're managing your pf sense We're usually managing devices inside their network. So via our RMM. We understand whether or not that pf sense is up and running So I don't really I don't know What do you give for being member that's a good question You support the channel and Tom has done a horrible job of offering you anything more than that I'm working on I am working on and I I got it Maybe I'll put a note to do this next week where I'm gonna do a members only live stream So I do this live stream and then I'll do a members only one where I can talk to people more I don't know. I'm working on some type of offer for people who are members Anyone indexing free next year next course using solar in a jail, huh? That's interesting. I've looked at that. I don't know how good solar works or it now I've seen I've seen people reference that I've never touched it Get hub logins, I thought about adding github logins there. Oh Yeah, yeah A lot of credit card verification I mean but then credit card now now they have to give me more information and The liability part of having all the credit cards if I set it up with something like stripe and then someone uses stolen cards I'm the one in trouble. So I Don't want that PSense has a management portal built-in. Yeah, people want a central one now. There are things out there that do What is that called Let me pull up the documentation. Oh, I mean, I don't know anything about this. I've never used it I don't I don't want to use it either by the way Let me bring it over so I can pull the tab over on this side There is a tool out there, but let me share something with you This is maybe my brain is just broken. Maybe my Tin foil hat is just too tight. I don't know But This is a tool called mud map It's a service not a tool. It's a paid-for service mud map and it gets SSH Access with admin access to your PF census if I'm thinking about security in a very conscious way Would I trust some third-party place to have full unfettered access to all of my pf-sense installs? That seems like a scary proposition and a nightmare fuel for a bad day Because now I'm centralizing all that control to one person who has all these SSH keys And if someone runs off with these keys, they can log in they can if someone gets into this server They can log into everybody's pf-sense. That seems pretty bad because from the pf-sense you can grab You can grab the VPNs and or push your own VPN to all these systems. So Yeah, that's not to me. That just seems like a terrible idea So I don't I maybe I don't get it Awesome glad I could help stripe verification is a pain. Yeah From the pf-sense management, I see regrets. No, I have 12 routers my data center alone reasons When you have hundreds more. Yeah Dynify, I think there's one more out there, too. I Just found out mud map today Looks like a scary lucrative attack vector. Yes Agent base no reason for external opening ports. Okay.  You're loading on your pf-sense. I Don't know. I don't see this as the problem. Maybe it's because we're only managing 60 of them Maybe someone is managing more than 60 and once you get to 600 of them. This is a problem Which at that point I really in I might just sit down and think about this in a very clear way It just puts me and maybe I'll sit down with Jay because he's really good with Ansible Jay from learn Linux TV and we'll put together an Ansible script to push updates with pf-sense So you can centralize it. I don't think that would be too hard to do If if it's just updates, but the problem I have back to where the issue is I like to Schedule and deliberately do the updates because what if something goes wrong, you know We usually our own process internally is to schedule them with the client because there's gonna be some downtime when you do the updates Because it's gonna reboot if you have a client that's operating 24-7. That's a problem And if the update goes wrong and doesn't reboot well, you have to schedule that so pushing it out to all of them at Once seems like the potential for a big problem when there's a big update. So yeah That's why I said it's not I don't think it's is people think it's in it's super imperative And I'm like I don't think so You can restrict the pf-sense from the alias hidden URL allows IPS. Yeah, you could do that. You can also set up reverse VPNs You can have all of the all the pf-senses reach back out to one Place like with wire guard and then you can manage them from one single point of that wire guard Now the advantage of doing it this way from a security standpoint people like Tom. Did you say don't centralize it? Yes, I said don't centralize it But if you Reverse them and have them connect to a server only thing you're doing is exposing the web interface against that one server By doing that you still have the web interface protecting them from further login So you've brought them all to talk to one place But then the only thing you're opening is the web interface and then you can administer from one place All the different systems and even the ones with dynamic IPs because they're reaching back out to a IP address that you've set up. So that's kind of my thoughts on that That's really with these solutions are doing just using neck API whether it's looking via agent via SSH connection Yeah, I think Ansible will be a better way to do it. So People messaging me because they don't know I'm doing a live stream at my office Actually hey Travis tell Brett I'm doing a live stream Once a week I lose access to my web GUI everything's in its public still access to our hardware Since you're working only we would fix look through the logs I did a troubleshooting video and the first thing I we sell what's in the logs the web interface itself keeps logs of Everything that's going on, you know The logs are like I someone open VPN is not working Well, can you give me some logs and you reply never mind? It says bad username or password in the open VPN log I'm like if you just would have read the logs first, you'll probably know why it's crashing not working What's stopping it? You set the scripts to put updates on your calendar so you can contact the users Fun stuff Always check the logs, you know, I I kind of want to I don't ever want to be I'm not an RT FM guy like I don't tell people just read the manual But I kind of I'm gonna check the logs guy because that's like the minimal amount of what what's the error message you're getting Which also leads to something like my wife today TV not working I say that's not very descriptive. I'm gonna need something more because I can hear it in the other rooms I know the TV's working Somewhat but not working is not a very like what is it not doing? What is the thing it's not doing and what is the error message you are seeing? I Need to do some new videos because gray log 5 is out So I need to make a new video on gray log. I like that. There's a new version with new features and Yeah, that's I guess so many things to do It's it's a it's a challenge doing all these things all the time I'm gonna that's gonna be a goal to sure. I think it's the higher. Maybe hire someone dedicated to the channel I don't know. Yeah 500 TV not working TV not working current temperature 70 humidity 45. Yeah, let's see and check Check load and read the error messages all the time All the time so much time in there I'm behind but I've had anchors cameras for years. They've been great. Yeah, and Bill That's what you missed at the beginning So you don't you have to rewind it if you go the beginning it's me going I've been using anchors camera for a long time and we use a lot of them and they work Ever used elastic search I Mean usually built into a product not natively so I've used it in security onion I've used elastic search built in which is part of what is well It's moving to open sir since version 5 of gray log now There's open search as an alternative to elastic search, but yes, so I've used it but usually not natively by itself When's my wife's next time on the stream? I don't know. I Don't she randomly comes on the stream There are some type of notice says you can get blue iris, but I don't use it So I don't have the I don't have a good answer for that, you know Time for a mint Didn't find anything useful just stopped logging Somewhere in there somewhere. There's a message for where it stopped. I don't know what that message is post-under forums You know some things you're gonna get a faster answer out of the pfSense forums and even my forums But it's certainly not a problem run into with the web UI stops It guys have it easier now you can Google 95% of the problems that wasn't possible before this is so true You're rarely the first person to have a problem Do you still do client interaction or only if they pay you for your time? Um, I guess That kind of depends I do client interaction It varies It the only way you can scale a business is having more people to kind of assigned and tasks and things like that But people can request me specifically for consulting usually though if you if you call for consulting You know, you're gonna want to Get whatever you want to get done and you don't necessarily have time to wait around for only one person So by having a staff of people do consulting by the way, I think we did Somewhere around I'm gonna I'm actually gonna post on my LinkedIn kind of a year in review for business I think we did over 600 consulting bookings from YouTube like not not interactions Not people that contact us for leads, but actually what we refer to as converted leads like people that spent money with us Over 600 of them That is not possible for Tom to do all of them. So it just wouldn't be It just couldn't happen Well, I mean, I guess I could technically if I never made another video and live doing it But by spreading that across the staff We're able to do a higher volume of consulting but people do I did a consulting this morning with a company On setting up a bunch of different things any suggestion for Linux based MVRs. Nope. I Wish there was I wish there was an answer for that. I'm not I'm not being dismissive. I just there's not one Larger question people stole some stuff out of my clients parking lot and security guys cameras gave new alerts thoughts on around the solution Get a camera that gives alerts Who changed the mince out for whiskies? Yes. Yes, and yes, I like the way you type that Uh Searching for your video PF sense multi-layer network as he was showing an additional land attached and now you're live cool I wish you the best of luck Carlos Chats you'd be the hell out of everything. Yeah Tom says at tier three three point nine percent of the work should go to the lackeys Frigate looks not very complete I'll look at it, but it doesn't look incredibly well rounded But Compare and it is comes out of comparison. I'm comparing to Sonology Surveillance Station So it doesn't look as well complete as Sonology Surveillance Station doesn't mean it's not a project you shouldn't use but Othelia I Don't I don't have any why would I use it as an MFA server? Oh Tom GPT Tom's just a giant chat engine All right, what's the next thing we're gonna talk about I Actually have notes What else is in my notes? My notes themselves how I'm doing notes That's actually something we can talk about briefly here But I'll pull it up because I don't play throwing my notes up here. I Think someone has suggested this a while ago and I didn't use it I tried another one and I've now switched to And Giving this a serious try. I really ended up. I don't know why I didn't like it before I I feel like I tried it and didn't like it. I don't know I know I like it a lot more now and that is the Joplin notes This is great. I've actually really I Was using mark text because it was simple But now that I've really dove into using Joplin and got it all configured and really started putting all my notes into it And using it. I really like Joplin notes I don't know that it's worth it for maybe it is maybe I'll do a video on it I don't know if I set up a Joplin sharing server I'll definitely do a video on it because you can run your own sharing server in it, which is pretty cool but this is a Really nice for taking notes. I've moved all my notes and everything for the last I think I started only using it two weeks ago, but in two weeks I've I've just decided this is how I like doing notes So if you're looking for a good note taping note app, by the way open source and cross platform including phone apps Yeah, this is cool. Now the phone app gets a little tricky because synchronizing the notes with the phone app has some problems There are less options to synchronize it with your phone, but it works. So What else I think you said, ah, it does require a lot of make for manual configuration Well, this is in regards to frigate. Yes How do you like the look of timeline of Macedon? It's it's I like it more than all on Twitter. I'm mixed on it I have not gotten I Mean I've gotten some people following me on Macedon, but it hasn't taken off many people follow me on Macedon Looks like I got a thousand people on it. I like messing. I go on there. I replied everyone that messages me And everything else I look the live streams on here It doesn't have but it doesn't have to either it doesn't have the same level of interaction as I get on Twitter but I There's a good Conversations I have in there and ultimately I'm not looking for the most conversations. I'm looking for the best conversations So from a having less is more like better fewer but better quality conversations is awesome And by the way in the last couple days Elon must have figured out some new advertisers because man the ads have been insane on Twitter Like it is it is more ads than posts right now.  They're all like little Things being marketed games and stuff like that like clicker games and desktop games or whatever There's suddenly a lot of people on there Advertising in so cool that they're you know, I don't want to see Twitter go under I also don't want it to get worse than it is So I don't know but I also like that there's alternative places that are federated to have conversations I think that's a good thing What happened no see I never used obsidian I don't understand why people like that so much What's what is the thing about obsidian? Do you self-host the notes I'm self-hosting my notes. Yes Yeah, let's much less but better Twitter is more but lower quality. There's a lot of garbage on Twitter Not from the people I follow, but I can't help it.  It's always something stupid Do you prefer one nine two ten or one seven two all the All the above all depends I usually like if I'm creating a network for a company And they have a bunch of one nine two networks and they'd like to add a guest network I would use the guest network on a one seven two or ten network You want to kind of the way you know like oh guest traffic is way over here. It's a completely different range It's not just one of the octets. It's the first octet that's changed for the guest network But you know, maybe I'll do a subnet planning video talking about that Facebook also more ads as posts Facebook yeah Unify newbie question if I want to block a connection internet from certain bands enough to do with the firewall rules Yes Long-term review of the Tesla consider buying one My Tesla currently has Here give you an update on it Tell you exactly how many miles my car has which is 58,758 miles so 58,750 miles as of right now this moment, which it's that's going further. So he's driving somewhere right now But yeah, I The Tesla's been great. I've had very very few problems that I still like my Tesla. I have no complaints I'd still buy I'd buy another one just from the Standpoint of you know, it's a good car pulling something up real quick If anyone's wondering There that's the Tesla I have it's a model three. So yeah, I'm sitting in In so does Joplin they're both they both use Markup language But I don't understand Like I'm very much very much. I like to own my data that's very important to me and I'm a less clear on how that works exactly with obsidian It's not open source by the way, I think they're selling is $96 a year obsidian sink it's encrypted sink built in obsidian, but it's not all open source So I'm just gonna trust everything to obsidian versus if we look at Joplin It's completely free and open source has the ability to sell host offers the Joplin cloud offers a really inexpensive Joplin cloud by the way, so you can get the Joplin cloud synchronization for only $20 a year roughly So I don't know and the fact that you have the ability to sell host or you don't have to use the Joplin cloud at all To synchronize your notes and being open source. So Joplin wins it over obsidian by quite a bit Raptors that lighting It is a That it's a wrap Let's your cars also nice sports cars. Yeah Owning your data is great. The one thing that led me to you. I'm considering self hosting my bit warden Watching your videos on that. Yeah, I I've always been a big advocate for Being in control of your data or at least understanding where it is I mean, hey, sometimes you want to back it up to somewhere in the cloud. That's fine But that's you choosing to do it this way not locked into a proprietary cloud format I've actually one thing about Google One thing that I think is Google's Good thing that they've done for a long time is they refer to it as data liberation I don't know if they refer to it like that anymore But they we used to call it that they saw that the service is called Google takeout and being able to dump all of your data Out of Google even at a granular level is awesome. Google has maintained that for everything that you may not like Google for One thing you can say is they are a company that has never made it hard to get your data back out I'm able to dump my calendar data. I was just able to dump all my notes out of Google keep Yes, I use Google keep quite a bit because it's just It's built in the Google and works really well But getting that data out of Google not hard Google takeout set it up export it and their common formats They make it relatively easy to get your data. I will say that's nice to them Yeah, Google takeouts great Can you hashtag with Joplin browser widget and poll links? Yes It's called. I haven't used it Where's it at? Yeah multimedia notes They have Clipper the Clipper service Joplin web Clipper This actually lets you pull in It's actually a browser plugin that lets you pull it in and synchronize your notes I'm actually not using this. I just copy and paste things in And I'm fine with doing that, but I might I might try the Clipper I don't know. I don't like any extra things in my browser I'm trying I try to keep my browser with as few things added on as possible. So PoE question I want to get access point you six probe I'm not sure if a PoE injector is a good stable solution or reinvest a PoE switch I mean the PoE injectors work fine. It really comes down to convenience of how many do you need? Like it can get kind of Harder to manage if you have like 20 cameras and you have 20 injectors You might want to go with a switch But if you only have a couple PoE power things like, you know, you want to get an access point one of them One PoE injector easy to manage not not a big deal work fine Every try bear never heard of it Joplin is really popular And I don't I don't know if bear has all the features that Joplin has in his bear open source Try to make an IP joke a google filter doesn't like it probably not But if you need good jokes about tech just ping me As long as it doesn't have the clipper chip Ever dig in distribute a web-based data file search like sc prime s a seems like low cost of shows s for your google drive There's a few of them out there. None of them. I haven't been wowed by any of them yet So Are you running a router on a stick? Do you want a pf sense? I would not run a router on a stick I don't I don't know why people ask about that so much. I don't understand like I guess it's a fun test concept, but Devices that run pf sense are inexpensive relatively speaking I'm speaking obviously from someone who works in the united states and has access to technology But an old computer generally speaking is not a real expensive Venture to get like a five-year-old computer with a dual knit card and load pf sense on it So I don't know why we do a router on a stick Does h a proxy create firewall rules? No, it does not Can we apply additional restrictions to say 443? Uh redirect only allow from certain ip so you can filter h a proxy doesn't create the firewall rules But you have to have a firewall rule to open up h a proxy So the firewall rule that opens up h a proxy can be restricted to certain ip address Any good tech memes follow me on twitter if you like tech memes Uh, I do post a lot of memes on twitter. That's definitely We can Or some of the memes I post I'd like to thank last pass for getting so many people thinking and talking about password security What else did I post what's the next silly thing we can find from time I was having fun with the last pass lost pass recently Gaming chairs. I don't know that's really a meme, but it's definitely funny You don't have to have twitter to follow me on twitter You can use an art. I think there's things that will probably pull twitter All my posts are public.  They don't have one So they were sign drivers used in ransomware. No one is shocked microsoft doesn't review what gets sent to them Send it on mastodon. Oh, okay. Let me uh Just use uh 8802 slash 24 for all the guest networks Is router on a stick Contain comes in from a sysco session first met I mean, I know it's a like a um A common sub and well not common, but part of your sysco training you might do it so I use udm pro 3 with security camera a trade-off for vlan cameras. I can't get to work new these Is there good? Is there a good video for vlan? I have some vlan videos. Yes And the bit warden mvp sales group of the year goes to last pass absolutely Uh They've done a great job of signups. I wonder if bit warden would share those stats. How many new signups since december have you gotten How's your january looking there? I actually know some people at bit warden. I will message them Because that's gonna be a fun talk. Yep. They never expire. They will be smuggled in as attack vector. Yep Uh question is what do you not have a video of I don't know Probably all kinds new videos of all the things I've talked about already But let's talk about something that um was actually at the top of my twitter Me making stupid faces Um so I'm trying to gather some stats on these It died and we've had a couple of these died I don't know how many exactly because you know, we'll replace them or whatever, but with these um I don't i'm trying this is another thing I want to work on trying to get some long term data now for as many of these as we have passed through and we've worked on I don't know what percentage of them have died compared to how many we sold and you need to kind of get that percentages Uh, I'll to really give a good review But I will admit I've seen more of these die Then I have of the neck gate devices and the neck gate devices. We definitely have a absolute ton of them out there oddly We've had I think a one or two thirty one hundreds that had a problem But for the quantity of those we sold That's a low number Um to have a couple of them and one of them we fixed because the drive the onboard drive is bad and one of my guys Kind of rigged it up with an uh external It will actually dry he took it apart and fixed it I don't remember what exactly he did. I have to ask one of my staff and I myself my company Our 5100 died, which I thought was weird, but it did happen We had a 5100 go dead Now the what went dead was the the the built-in drive for it had gone bad I thought it was kind of strange But you know for the most part the neck gate stuff has been extremely reliable But we've had a couple of these lately and it just has me kind of scratching my head and this one's dead as a door Now I can't say dead as a door now. I guess because the little green light right here turns on So I get a green. It just doesn't boot. No post no boot. No other lights. Just the green light. That's it Thanks for your bit warden recommendation. By the way first pastor manager ever deployed Totally dodged the last pass situation. Awesome Uh tom has a video where he discusses it but certainly not I don't have any tutorials on it when people ask you for videos on Proxbox j from learnlinks tv has an entire series on there What's the model of the device you're showing? I don't know The this is the fun thing. They may have model numbers when you buy them But they aren't always written well on them where you could find them. So I'm not sure I probably have to dig through. I don't even know if we're the ones that bought this device Just went from last pass to bit warden bad bit too bad bit warden doesn't have last pass style feature for helping change website passwords Got it got to about 500 Uh bit warden doesn't have the last pass stuff each. Oh helping change passwords Well, the reason they don't is because there's no standard for changing passwords last class is just big enough in the marketplace That they've done some integrations with places, but that would be kind of a cool thing if there were some Approved method. I think there's a there's a framework suggested for it I don't think it's well adopted to have like a password change framework that companies would adopt But getting companies who build websites to adopt a standard that's We the the industry's ability to come up with standard far far exceeds its ability to actually get them deployed in an actionable way that is Oh, let's see I do know it's a protect telly. That is correct Because it says protect telly on the bottom. I don't I just don't know if it has the model number on it Would you do a pf sense ha failover important for companies? Yes, we do fail ha setups for people We do a lot of them. That's a lot of our consulting it It's not like we're just doing the pf sense consulting. We're usually when we do the consulting we're planning all of it So pf sense is a component of the consulting not the full consulting By the way, I'd rather A notable open source flat file. Just sync it across where needed. Okay Can you show how to use custom fields in pit warden? Um They have a write-up on it. It's it's not hard to do their documentation um I think it's pretty solid on it Bitwarden custom Oh, look it autocompleted It's in our help center And the write-up was the first result in google It's copy custom field name and then you just Put it in there Element id one two three four. I mean it's dead. I don't think it needs a video I'll throw it in here though But it's the first how to use bitwarden custom fields is the very first search result World junior hockey gold medal game starting. Well, best of luck Yep, it's that simple. Um The custom field setting is really easy to do here H. A. With carp or have another method. Um, I have a video on h. A. So I specifically walk through how that works with uh pf sense So I have a video and my video follows even even though the video is older I don't think anything's really changed If it has let me know But I'll probably when I'm waiting for the new version of pf sense to drop because I really want to just get a getting started 2023 with pf sense video going but I'm waiting for the latest version of pf sense to drop so Wondering if you do ha on pf sense when it fails over does a fail over Ha proxy dns should dcp at the same time. Yes Yeah, you can set to fail over everything um You just want to make sure you've got it all set up so um All the failover works properly that the that's where some of our consulting comes in as people Uh, they don't set it up right one of the things they miss is not assigning the internal land They'll assign it to one of the pf senses as opposed to Uh, the virtual ip that's shared between them. You need to sign everything to the virtual ip's if not things don't fail over um There's a I cover all this in my video. There's also like when you're setting up the dhcp there's a Way you set it up so it hands off and synchronizes all the dhc properly so Yeah, there's people get it wrong a lot Uh, does pf sense don't only do one release per year seems like it's been a year since last release No, no, they do um three or four a year They don't update a lot. I like that because you don't want to spend a lot of time just randomly updating your Randomly updating your uh firewall just because there's a package update It can even sink the states across pf sense. That is correct Go to their documentation Well, this one's a release candidate But their documentation will show you you can see when the release dates are for these things So one two three releases for 2022 One major releases not these the incremental ones sometimes are bug fixes, but uh 21 21 21, so we have one Two three, so they're doing about three a year I Love that they're they went to the year for them because I don't have to click on and even know when the updates are But this one's close. How do you know because here it is As part of the free bst upgrades the algorithms follow a lot of like a lot of information here But they uh, yeah, this one's almost ready I don't think it's released yet, but I've been playing with it. It works Good to hear that quad nine caught a phishing email. That's good to know But so we're three releases a year pf sense 2.60 not even there um The 2.6 is the two point here, but if we go over to I have if we can boot it up you can download this is pf's 2.7 dev Is also kind of the same as the 23 version Um, we'll get this booted up right here, but I've been testing it I've been testing in a lab, uh, but it's close enough. I actually the lab stuff has been working so well If I feel Inspired this weekend. I thought about loading one of my firewalls with the beta version To try it out, but so far things seem to be working I would consider buying pf sense for me. It's a lack of features like layer 7 wsf dpi app control web content filter uh I don't like doing those in the firewall. That's my opinion. So Yeah, but if you need those things don't use pf sense. It's not the right one So if you if you want your Firewall to do the app and web filtering then pf sense is not the one for you Hello from belfast north ireland. You have a preferred dynamic dns writer views pf s. I never need dynamic dns. So No, I don't have a preferred. There's a lot supported in here, and I'm sure they all work well, so Is there any way to downgrade from pf sense 2.6 or hurt some online say there might be an issue with proxmox nfs situation Don't route through don't route nfs through your pf sense. That's my answer If you're routing your nfs through your firewall, you're doing it wrong Hey, look, it's almost booted Go computer go. I got I think I what all do I have running in this thing? Has it taken so long? There we go Now we can open up another tab that will share There we go An update is available. We can update to the late. I think we did this last week Matter of fact, I have the snapshots from seven days ago. My guess is last week during a live stream Tom talked about the development version of pf sense I talked about a lot of things. So I may have forgotten that I talked about it You should do a video on small tips opinions like fixing the menu at the top when scrolling I don't know that's a preference not a tip Um I mean as far as setting it up, I leave everything at default except for I change it to dark mode. So there's a tip Maybe I'll do that. Uh three tips for setting up pf sense. It's like a good clickbaity title, but The things that we change is going to be I think under um general setup hostname and menu Which is this and dark mode And three columns in the dashboard there. There's my three tips for pf sense I guess it's worth it's a worthwhile video the three things I do when I set pf sense Well, sometimes you can change just not everybody knows you can change this part So let me uh do this real quick save You can change just to be a different color too a login page you can But I don't know how relevant that is pf sense needs a search point. I'll actually agree with you on that one. That'd be kind of cool You need pf sense right now Uh, actually, I think that same person did a video that says your firewall sucks use this instead and mention pf sense. So Yeah, the the search if I mean if you didn't use pf sense The search function is obviously very helpful. Um, because you don't know where everything is So that's yeah Network trucks are really nice guy by the way. I've I've actually talked to him a couple times genuinely. Um, a very nice He's much more organized and calm in person. Like he's so hyper. Um, you watch him on youtube. So I'm yeah Any news about when pf sense is moving to free bsd 14 Uh, I'll break the news here right now Uh Where's it at? Free bsd 14. There we go. They they already did so the 2.7 version is on free bsd 14 So is the pf sense plus 23. They're both on free bsd 14. Oh, let's see What I don't like dude. I mean the uh The term for it is I is it called I there's a there's a word where you can't stand slurpy noises because it drives me nuts too I don't like any slurpy noises for things I see everybody doing this, but I've been keeping the live stream going for this long I'm trying to decide do I do the live stream and I'll I you know, I don't think it's the way I could do a vote here There's no way to do polls here, right? Nope um Do I keep the live stream going Which means I'll go get myself a beer or whatever Or do I go play video games? I'll let the audience decide That's the word I was looking for my zoophomias my zoos something. It was on the tip of my tongue Yeah, but it makes you irrationally angry when people make slurping noises I see you're rationally angry because it shouldn't bother me as much as it does But I hear slurping noises. I'm not happy, but um I can go get whiskey I I don't want any more mints. I know that um Get whiskey seems to be a lack of likes getting people liking Stream a video game for the audience to enjoy along. Oh, you don't want to watch me I don't even I wouldn't talk during games because I that's not me So Yeah, that's not really my thing Raspberry Pi or mini pc I think a mini pc is probably cheaper than a pie. I don't know what the stock prices are now on them But they were kind of expensive for a little while Hmm So I guess the question is do I do an intermission and go get myself a drink? um Enjoy a beer.  I hate slurping noises, too We all a lot of us here pizza and hot sauce Depends on video game, but my vote is for that. Well, if I play video games, it's going to not be on the live stream here I'm throwing it out there whiskey live stream that I can do it's It's it's almost pushing 7 p.m. Here Live whiskey games. I don't really talk during video games. That's why I don't narrate and someone asked me about it before And I'm like, I don't know I don't say a word I just sitting to play games I'm I usually play single-player games like I have a few hundred hours into the witcher Like there's there's tom's gaming watching him just goof off in the witcher for a little while And I don't play a lot of games. I did get doom internal. I just downloaded it because it was part of the humble bundle So I'll probably pay doom internal tonight um Quit working play games. I have no idea if this is working. I'm being straight up honest here I just don't know is this working. I I got nothing on that I don't have an answer Get a mini terminate of smash going for the live stream. I never play it. I'm terrible at it I'm terrible at a lot of games. That's probably my other reason I don't play any online games every time I do. I'm just reminded of how terrible I am at online games I used to be good. I remember those years Those were the younger version of me when I played obsessively To all hours of the night with lots of people playing unreal tournament non-stop and I mean I just played that game so much. I got really really good at it with the same group of people I played all the time so Age of empire Yeah, I mean Like I said, mostly I I'm a I'm a boring single game player right now but If we will I don't know the people think I should keep the live stream going for another half hour or so or jump off and play games I'm trying to figure out. Oh remember. I always turned off insta give by the way Okay, make sure none of these messages are important I have a little UT server. It's so fun I kind of wouldn't mind setting up unreal term and again to play this is having an unreal term is for brings back memories I'm just terrible at it. That's my problem And I tried playing the new one and I was like, uh, this is I just got killed so much. It wasn't worth it I see people saying down forever Uh, my son's not here today. He's out doing other stuff. So Get the boy and play games Yeah, my son's not around today. That's why we're not, uh Usually you're probably posting a forums with whatever your problem is because if you're routing if if pf sense is between you and your nfs Here's your routing it through pf sense. Don't do that Unreal for kicks. Yeah, I thought about for nostalgia reasons. Maybe playing the old versions of unreal I don't know. There's probably still gaming cereal out there somewhere somewhere on there. Well, what I'll do is I'll grab a drink of whiskey and Uh, uh, yeah, so you should get about the forums video streams more fun But what I'll do is let me throw that little countdown thing here Which I know is not long enough for me to go all the way up the stairs grab what I'm looking for and bring it down But good enough So where do I hit? Where's that button at? I can do the video countdown So if we do this I'll count down and uh We'll see if I make it back.  I'm just babbling out about things and answering questions. I actually really like the q&a. It's always a lot of fun Um, so let me throw the little video countdown up real quick and I'll be back when I go grab something I I need to get a 60 second countdowns. I think it takes me about 60 seconds to do this And I only lost 20 people But got 21 comments, there we go So we'll uh, we still got a little left a little little left of the uh We beastie here Let's see one day the american night switch design will jump forward 65 years Oh Run said a countdown and yeah, this is down in string yard Did I catch them all up? Oh, you don't like the light switches There we go. That's not an annoying noise, right the the thung. I love the thung noise of uh opening bottle Um, it bothers my one of my friends is bothered by what i'm gonna show you next There's less than air than I thought I mostly have jack tango cups So my friend thinks it is blasphemy that I drink scotch from the jack tango cup Please let me know in the comments if there's anger around this Did I wash my hands always? Have you noticed that you can't change your thumbnails on youtube shorts right now? Correct. I that is something true We cannot change shorts anymore Glass is a glass Uh, no need alcohol your freezer in your stream lab. Yeah, probably I most Some of my alcohol is in the basement. The other is upstairs Until we finish building a true bar downstairs Um, it's in two places Whiskey noises are nice. Let's just go ahead and do that one more time I hope that noise came through that's a happy sound. Well, the squeakiness is a little less happy, but One of my friends is bothered by this. I'm just saying so more so than I Uh, kodi did a video on unify connect. I I don't know it I've done other videos before on like building your own raspberry pi system for Doing displays. I think that's a better choice, but I don't know. I've never I didn't look at it in depth I seen kodi did a video on it. I think someone else did too, but I don't know I don't think it's something I'm high on my by list The squeakiness is part of the experience. We'll go with that All right, the other things I got more to talk about actually I have like other stuff That was on my list here and uh That's going to be Where did it go? I think I put this as a I can remember the web viewer. I just changed the um ip address that it's at so And I one day I'll even set up a reverse proxy for it. So it works, but I've been playing a lot more with, um Not pf sense Portainer I like portainer portainer is pretty cool And one of the things we're running in portainer is we have a couple of environments And we have this environment which only runs one thing. It's one volume. It's just uptime kuma so, uh, I also have been playing with uptime kuma now that I did set up a reverse proxy for And so we can share this tab instead But I might do some more videos on you know, there's a lot of people requesting docker content So I might talk about a little bit more Kind of dive into some of the details some of the things you can set up I know it's popular amongst the home lab and uh, it might be something we get a little bit more into on the channel So it's kind of fun, but up saying kuma is really cool. Portainer is really cool Both of them are really neat projects to play with Uh, I can't believe how well they work for they they're Very well polished open source projects both of these and so are so many others in this category But the portainer one really impressed me just how well this works now. They have a business model behind it But for setting up and deploying this including portainer agent. Wow, that was easy to do I mean, maybe I'll do a video on it, but the Just the way it all works. It's just so smooth. It just really impressed me Uh, if you're putting in a bar better at a toilet for breaking the seal. Yeah We are almost done. There's actually it's it's plumbed. We just haven't finished the bathroom for in the basement either That's on the to-do list as well I think the unified connect will be good when some when the screens come out the display cast is okay It would be nice to view your protect cameras on. Yeah Yeah, pertainer is just um Probably the easiest way I've seen to help manage docker I actually have a couple of my staff who don't normally do this type of thing like playing with linux and stuff Both of them interested in it and set up some stuff at their home Which I thought was kind of neat. So they started, you know, messing around with it I've got more images than I have containers on this system because I deleted everything that was on here But I really just found it easy to kind of go through here manage understand It to me brought an easier understanding to docker So I'm gonna keep playing with it and keep doing stuff at it and Deploying some of their tools and app templates that they have in here It makes it really easy to just grab something and throw it in here real quick This is something that uh like Corey Thompson was just bringing up earlier Like if I wanted to set up a solar configuration like cool I can just go here and click on it and uh immediately load that particular template What else is in here? Elastic search someone asked about that min.io. That's kind of neat. Um redis What else is in here jumella data dog jankins file browser? floating license server for Softing and ketch. Okay. I don't know what that is at all Live switch now you can actually one of the other cool things is you can actually just do a docker pull throw something else in here and have it Read the things you pulled in through your standard docker commands to load these up as well But just easy to set this up And I oh root user tom password Thomas one two three. We're going to go real advanced here on the password deploy magic and uh Let this happen You can run next cloud in here Ooh pits pittsburg potty wife said no to that one Uh Do you want or did you try open vpn self-hosted access service solution sites that kind of do you want to do a video about it? I had no interest in it like I don't I don't use it. I have no clients using it. I don't I don't really have a use case for it Well, like what docker is the easy cleanup after testing. Yes, that's why I set this portainer server up And it's also it's called portainer docker server But that's a big piece of it too is because I wanted something that was going to be um Really easy for testing And it's deployed and it's you know so quick that we can log in now We made it tom didn't we I already forgot what we set the username password to there we go So We deployed min.io and now we can play with buckets create bucket There's our s3 bucket test. Can we put dashes and bucketing good dash and buckets right? Yeah There's more readable s3 bucket test Meet the bucket there we go. We've created an s3 bucket test So yeah, it's nice, but then you know when we want to get rid of it because I don't really need it now We can Just purge it Like we're gonna say make this thing go away. So here's our test min.io remove remove Oh, it's gone. It's deleted everything's away. There you go Uh, why is pf sense buggy with ipv6? um There's a meme for that. I think I don't use ipv6. That's my answer. That's the answer everyone hates more than anything else I forgot to post this. What did I what did I save it? Did I save it? Uh, maybe I didn't save it. I have so many memes Many of them I cannot share because I don't want to get demonetized Anyways, no, I'm not a I don't use ipv6. So Oh, I lost the meme it was kind of a joke about ipv6, but I don't know ipv6 is buggy all over the place s3 storage long-term storage my images because I don't want to pay google for it. Yes Tom tip on bash docker run it rm db bash. You can test what you want after ctrl d all testing is done yes Unify analogy you want to buy a new car and then you sell as a boat and trailer attached Everything's bugging ipv6. We'll go with that. We'll definitely see that Wonder if that bucket is still there the bucket went away when I deleted any of the storage Started channel. Just you'll have a niche of people really happy. You're using ipv6 Dost you patch look mean Hello from Sydney, Australia. I watch your videos and big part of your learning. That is awesome. Happy to Happy to help someone all the way from the land down under. Oh, there it is This is the um Meme I I'll put this on twitter later Enterprise network admins to play pv6 or draw 25. I'm drawn 25 man So yeah this IPv6 man, everyone talks about it. It's been the year of ipv6 for a long time Uh, what is s3 short for more stores like you you set up a seo z of s um as s3 is Part of the amazon services is where it came from, but it's also open. It's an open standard for Basically, it's web-based block storage is where I would describe it. I think I think I'm using it right Let's actually define it before I goof up all the words s3 storage so I can use the exact right words object not block object is the word I knew I used the word wrong someone would uh, definitely Um, I've called me out on that one But yes, it isn't s3 is object storage and I think s3 is probably in this wikipedia one so I can say it right You know, it's funny because um making videos on the internet you say things wrong so in some while But if you don't catch it when you're editing The comments tom you conflated a term somewhere Look, I know what s3 store is. Yeah s3 simple storage services The what it stands for but what it is is two different things. I guess you could say too like the acronym is simple storage amazon kind of pioneered a lot of this cloud stuff so People kind of copied off them amazon also left s3 open so other things can emulate the blocks The object almost said block again object storage type of s3 Hello from amsterdam. Can someone help me getting let's encrypt worked with google cloud dns on pf sense anyone got it working I don't I imagine one of the providers for acme is google cloud, but I don't know I'm using currently digital ocean and Linode and both of them work fine for the api keys I've heard it works well with cloud flare too, but I've never tested it I don't have any of my domains dns handled by google So I don't know usually you just need the api key, but google's api stuff is uh um Little bit more convoluted to set up like google's api has always been very granular But it's also sometimes very challenging to figure out where the menus are to set it up Because I don't do it very often when I set things up What's the object uh storage objects? So your your s3 storage objects Can be like for example if you have a website and you're using an s3 storage back end All the different files for that website may be part of that object storage on the back end Say something wrong on the internet and you'll never get it wrong again. No You're just now it isn't true because I've said I just said Block twice when I'm in object twice. So you'll definitely get it wrong more than once But your never is wrong is when you're wrong on the internet. That's a good thing. You know holds true for sure It allows accessing data uh using url instead of mounting a file system to a computer This is true too You know webdav and s3 work kind of similar to My newest asus router has rgb lights on it Yeah, that's the thing I Don't know My virtualization server has rgb in it I'm childish. I guess I my my rack at work has um has a Bunch of rgb lights in it I don't know if it's childish Last question regarding that something like wordpress uh wordpress By default isn't going to use s3, but for example One of the backup tools we use where wordpress does store everything in s3 Set it to red and things will go faster. Yeah, we can go with that You just gotta you know The rgb lights it's like painting flames on a sports car Uh, would you be willing to do consultation outside the us? We do consultation outside the us all the time um today my One of my clients were in israel my first clients of the morning were in israel. So yes, we do consulting globally IP flames and all my ethernet to make the packets go faster. That really works. Well recommendations for an ip kvm You are in luck. Um, I have the same one. Let me pull it up real quick here Actually, I gotta Add this to all I gotta add this to watch later save Watch later. Here we go. And then we will uh Jeff Just did a review There we go of this Um I have the same one that he has I just he's got the review done before me It's kind of a neat little device Uh, he's where does he show the device? It works. It's just expensive So This is the one he's talking about if you you can find the video It's it's one that he just posted two days ago on craft computing. Um, the problem is there's no cheap one There's no thing cheap out there That and it's for in jeff's very honest, like, you know, first thing he says this is not inexpensive. So About be all by kmpci. Yeah A senior video about setting up wildcard system pf sense would it be similar to using cloud player instead of the ocean? Yeah, yeah, you um, if you're doing your acme search via api It's gonna pull up the same way whether it's via, you know, all the different api providers As a matter of fact, that's something kind of neat in The acme plugin Uh, which I don't think I have installed on my computer. Do I? No Uh, but it's wait. Yeah, I do where heard I put that I think I have it in here Nope, I do not but we can load it we can Throw the package in there Because this seems like a good talk It's a top one here. Let's install this The cat the cat does kvm for sure Could you use a pyre that's that is built on a pie that particular one is built on there. So Can you make an video shield into a pc and solve different ones? I have no idea Yeah, that's that is a pie kvm that uh, jeff is showing on there But if we want to add Or is it here? There we go Where do you create the account key? Not there We want to add one I guess I got to create the account key first I thought I could just show maybe they have it listed in pfsense On their site, they have a long list of uh It's acne They have a really long list of places that have Uh, I thought they listed here long list of places to validation methods. I'm gonna actually go back because under dns dns certification And a sub date and dns manual Namecheap api They have a long list of the different companies that support apis in there Uh, the uskis wildcard rabbit look a folder But I think you have to create your account key and then you can look at all the lists of companies that are supported in there But yeah, there's a lot of different ways to do it Didn't they nuke the tv shield or something recently? Uh and vehicle shadow play not the shield Okay If I remember right there pie kvm was under 300. Yeah, I mean I guess expensive is a relative term so I it seems kind of pricey, but um It depends on what your use case is and whether or not you think it's worth it one of the things I like is I have The ipmi that I'm using on the board So I did that rise and build video recently about my xcp and g servers we built And the rise and build server covers the fact that we bought boards that have ipmi built in so I don't have to deal with kvms Well, let's see Also game shaming is shadow play do other devices like shield or third party apps. Okay Hopefully that answer uh made sense there Um, but now it's spent another 40 minutes besides posting that meme and other things and playing with uh Portainer I don't I think I've now run out of material that I wanted to well had on my list to talk about Yep, that's all the stuff That's all the things Wasn't the shield uh wasn't the shield idea that you could stream games to local network Boo five minutes, etc Five more minutes I have a darn vision, but can't do 4k Hmm, I do like q and a hard to resist answers To answer where I know it What are the last couple? um pf send certificates which method do you use I use um uh digital ocean and Linode you know the people who sponsor the home lab show uh for dns validation They both work well um doing Doing the validation with their api keys makes it really easy and I've never had a problem with it I set up a few years ago and it just works You stop live streaming that I have to go back to work. Just think about what you're doing here. Whoo. Yeah Staying up 1a. I'm I'm depriving people of their sleep. That's what I'm doing here I don't understand oh Try to figure out some of the We we have our own we have a couple different group chats between some friends and signals So sometimes things pop up that make me go. Oh, look, I can't but I can't some of it's not safe for streams Might be safe for work, but certainly not safe for streams Oh, let's see One more question regarding video use you used hga proxies much better than other proxies experience with traffic. Maybe Use the one that you are most comfortable with because people tell me they thought hga proxy was too hard They like a different one because that traffic was better I like it because it's all built in so I don't have to run a separate reverse proxy So hga proxy being built into pf sense is a convenience factor for me of having all of it in one place for example the When I created my uptime kuma And let's pull it up real quick. So I like For no reason not that we need to share uptime kuma, but hey, it looks cool. Um What I wanted to create a reverse proxy For uptime kuma. So it had an ssl certificate attached to it for security All's I had to do was create the entry in hga proxy and while I was still in the same pf sense server I created the dns entry that was needed for it. So it works It's nice doing that all in just one place. Matter of fact, I that is we kind of cool if they actually Built that in one place in pf sense. I had to go to two menus inside of pf sense But what I didn't have to do was create it in an external proxy and then create a dns entry inside of pf sense Not that it's that hard to do But I don't know I just kind of like it all being in one place Especially when you have a couple reverse proxies you want to run and you don't have any other servers at that location But you want to reverse proxy to something that you do have that's a service running inside a network So it's a convenience thing for me Concept reverse proxy, why is it needed because I don't want to deal with certificate errors I want to be able to pull something up and have the proxy proxy the connection and add a certificate for it So yeah, it's just like it's a convenience thing. There's nothing wrong though. I traffic's a good. There's traffic There's caddy. There's nginx reverse proxies. There's nginx. I think it's called nginx proxy manager There's a special proxy manager just for nginx Like there's a lot of different ways to do it and they're all right The reason are so many different ways is because some people have different preferences on how they do it Yeah, and they're all very well featured products They're um, all the all those ones mentioned by dunkel here are open source easily available And it just depends on which one you want to sit down and learn Hey, how are you? Nice to see a live video. Thank you I heard a patchy plus nginx nice smart combination for someone who seemed to knew what they were talking about Oh, yeah, lots of people seem to know what they're talking about I like to use edgards. I think it'd be more efficient to just use a dns with that copy. No Um, it's just a matter of where you have your dns set Pizza versus coffee. It's p it's coffee in the morning pizza at night coffee Tea tea's okay. I drink tea in the afternoon Coffee in the morning though Six new ssds in the mail for the sand excited awesome Do you need a proxy? Do you I don't know that's not a question I can answer Do you need a proxy for the things you're doing? It comes down to what's your use case? Uh, once you understand what a proxy is look around and see if there's things you want to put a proxy in front of I know the other side of it too is the um we use I don't know if I it's worth doing a video. I think we're using a dante proxy. Um, because we that way we can have different browsers that use I think it's a dante socks proxy I set up so some of the browsers can have things that are ip so we can lock things to a certain ip for ip restrictions um I don't know if it's worth doing a video on that I do what kinds of I have a couple one-off things You know to solve problems sometimes they do videos about them um I've seen your video on true nas and as I do never plan to build a storage device I was wondering whether I can use hp msa for room true nas I don't know what an hp p 200 msa is Um, I don't know enough about it, but if you go to the forums the uh true nas forums They have a section called will it true nas and it's a discussion about hardware I'm english and I drink all day Tea earl gray hot uh San usually refers to your storage area network, which may include multiple Devices versus san or versus nas is usually always a singular device if your your nas is a singular Uh network attached storage versus storage area network, which may include more than just that Uh, nope. I have not tested inland ssd for micro center Whatever happened to anchovies on pizza. I don't know. I ate them all. I like anchovies on pizza San is never is uh storage touch storage usually Head server with a lot of disc shells of the fiber channel or mvme or ethernet or nas as a single server a bunch of discs Yeah, there's a few variations on there too Um for it comes on to how you're configuring it how you're setting it up There we go the this is the real answer the difference between san and nas's cost Ha ha ha ha ha Yeah, if if you say the word san you usually mean a lot more dollar signs. That's that's an easy answer there The san's gonna cost a lot more money Um ice guzzie can be used for booting a network, but it's not exclusively used for booting our ice guzzie is block storage over ip Ice guzzie fiber channel info band. Yeah But yeah, the the the money thing rarely nails it down It's like someone uh, so my consulting I was doing the other day involved people They were trying to design for infrastructure. So we're having some high level discussions and uh, they were trying to Consider the difference between redundancy and high availability And it came down to about a $20,000 difference for the way they wanted to do things I'm like You know, it's this much to do Redundant connections. It's this much to do high availability servers with failover and everything else So yeah, it's a it's a dollar difference It's always fun let's see fancy nas with uh different architecture and bigger budgets Trying to compete with wan show that runtime say I when I never watched a wan show I I you know, I do watch some of the clips sometimes they have some good clips Um when I do the wan show clips, but the wan show itself I mean the chat just kind of flies by I mean, hey congratulations when your success gets so big You can't answer the questions, but it also seems less fun at that point when you can't answer all the questions Um, nonetheless, I think I went for another 10 minutes after I said I only go five minutes So I am going to wander off Maybe I'll play a little bit of doom eternal because I just downloaded I know it's it's not a new game, but it's new to me because it was in the humble bundle Um on some of your projects that you guys end up mounting TVs and speakers and stuff like that I'm sorry such a question We don't we do tv mounts, but they're usually for displays and conference rooms So we don't do a ton. We've done some speakers, but it's usually not Um, that's not a common request for us to do that You need to rip rip filter over 500. Yeah I'm gonna play h. A. L. Okay Love to see a video on setting up high availability sand with zfs multiple handmiens, but I'm sure that's Out of your wheelhouse. No, we've done um I haven't done one in a while, but the we've done the true nas enterprise servers We sell those and we just we deploy them. We sold a handful of those to people and All over the place They have redundancy at the board level. I have a video if you look true nas m 50 I have a video where I show how the high availability works on there. It's pretty slick.   I can actually play a reasonable game with people. So, yeah Let me know about setting up a game server. I'm interested or someone already has one. I'd probably join it. Um, dm me on twitter Macedon or wherever But yeah, interesting. I I'm into that I would I would play some games with some people If it was a game, I didn't just get instantly killed at so, um, let me know I would host it but not as good as security. So I don't mind hosting the game server Um, I just need to know that some people are in for it My my staff is not so they could care less most of my most of my staff that plays games is a lot younger than me Uh, racing games probably not Deck 16 have UT99 server and I'm wrong side of the pond for good ping. Uh Yeah, that might be an issue I don't know. I don't know the internet goes across the world faster I'm I'm willing to try it and see if the ping times are good or bad. I don't know. We'll play that one be here But I'm gonna bounce. I'm gonna go Um Get a less bottle uh less empty bottle here because this one is This one's done But uh, I don't mind. I mean, I have the resources to spin up a digital ocean server to host stuff to Or to linoad. I can get linoad to sponsor it for me. So I don't have to pay for it So I don't mind, you know, helping people out here Anything I can do to uh, yeah, this is definitely the uh The wee beastie arberg five I have the more expensive stuff. Um But I'm fine with this one. I you know, I try to savor it a little bit I mean, I've been sipping I have not poured anymore since 40 minutes ago I do not drink a lot in case anyone's wondering. That's why I like I can afford high quality stuff because I I slowly consume it You can use a few thousand different cameras on sonology. So Oh, let's see Do you drink wine? Um, I sip I won't buy it But if my wife is drinking wine, I'll have a sip of hers, but I don't go out on my way for wine I I really I don't have a lot of liquors. I like I like whiskey and I like scotch That's and I like some beers If the beers are really rich and hoppy So like an IPA or something like that and I don't drink much beer. I think I commented earlier. I drink like A couple beers a week if that And by the way, I bought this in the summer. So even this took takes me a long time I I'm not I like a little taste here in there. So Nonetheless, I'm going to Actually end the stream as much fun and I love talking to everybody. We had two hour two hours and 20 minutes according to the timer here So thanks everyone who joined me. Thank you for 128 of you that made it to this far. I'm impressed and 92 I don't know what the proof is Probably a lot but thanks everyone for joining Thanks everyone for keeping me distracted and helping me distract you and for all the questions Hit me up in the forums and maybe soon I will do that members only live chat or if there's a better time if you're watching this in post And there's a better time. Let me know Um to do these live streams. Maybe I'll do a morning one on saturdays again or sundays It's just a matter of finding the time and landing it and doing it.
