| [0.00 --> 4.32] Well, here we are, fresh back from Denver. We're joined by Brent again, who's still hanging around.
|
| [4.56 --> 6.52] And Chris, hey, hi, how are you doing, gentlemen?
|
| [7.12 --> 8.74] Hello. Hey, Brent, thanks for coming in again.
|
| [8.96 --> 10.36] Hey, thanks. It's good to be here.
|
| [10.40 --> 14.46] You're like our de-Google correspondent, and we're going to be talking a lot about that this week.
|
| [14.76 --> 15.44] Beep-de-beep, beep-de-beep.
|
| [15.50 --> 16.34] Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep.
|
| [18.38 --> 22.52] Yeah, well, my dumbass mentioned de-Googling just the week before.
|
| [22.64 --> 26.36] We're taking a massive trip, and I'd have zero hours to actually do any prep for the episode.
|
| [26.96 --> 33.50] Luckily, the audience saw fit to write in with about 800 emails telling us all the different ways that they're doing it.
|
| [33.56 --> 37.20] So we're going to come across some of those later on in the show.
|
| [37.72 --> 39.40] But in the meantime...
|
| [39.40 --> 44.72] This episode is brought to you by a Cloud Guru, the leader in learning for the cloud, Linux, and other modern tech skills.
|
| [44.98 --> 47.06] Hundreds of courses and thousands of hands-on labs.
|
| [47.34 --> 50.66] Get certified, get hired, get learning at a cloudguru.com.
|
| [51.14 --> 52.88] I followed through on my challenge, Alex.
|
| [52.88 --> 65.00] I de-Googled my map experience, which was crazy because we are on the road, and I was navigating Denver and now Colorado Springs for the entire time, the duration of this challenge.
|
| [65.36 --> 69.06] So I will report back on my results when we get to the feedback.
|
| [69.50 --> 73.84] But I think we should start with this news story that, I don't know, it's kind of a bummer, actually.
|
| [74.24 --> 75.64] I was really sad to see this, yes.
|
| [75.64 --> 83.84] Back in episode 33, we did a review of the Helios 64 Ultimate Arm-Powered NAS.
|
| [84.64 --> 88.70] And unfortunately, the Cobalt team today have announced on their blog that they're pulling the plug.
|
| [89.20 --> 90.50] Yeah, no more.
|
| [90.60 --> 94.28] They're not even going to do the next batch that there's already orders in the pipeline for.
|
| [94.36 --> 96.50] They say it really comes down to just two key points.
|
| [96.50 --> 103.88] There's ongoing difficulties with manufacturing and procuring parts and costs of getting higher and higher.
|
| [104.56 --> 105.42] That's been a problem.
|
| [105.50 --> 107.52] And they say, number two, they made a rookie mistake.
|
| [107.70 --> 109.12] They stretched themselves too thin.
|
| [109.64 --> 112.92] They essentially went into the Helios 64 while just being a three-man show.
|
| [113.12 --> 115.14] And they should have brought more people on board.
|
| [115.42 --> 116.36] And they burned out.
|
| [116.36 --> 123.62] You know, we got a really interesting insight into this manufacturing difficulties during our System76 factory tour last week,
|
| [123.82 --> 131.88] where Jeremy, who is the guy that designed some of the firmware chips and some of the firmware itself for the launch keyboard,
|
| [132.04 --> 139.34] was saying that they had to redesign on the fly two or three times some of the circuitry in that keyboard
|
| [139.34 --> 142.36] because parts would go out of stock within hours.
|
| [142.36 --> 149.88] And that he decided in the end to go ahead and order several, you know, hundred units of the parts they needed
|
| [149.88 --> 155.20] before he'd actually finished the firmware so that it didn't go out of stock before he finished writing the code.
|
| [155.38 --> 161.72] So if that's what System76 are up against, then they're probably a much larger player in this space than COBOL.
|
| [162.60 --> 164.94] I can only imagine some of the issues that those guys are having.
|
| [165.20 --> 169.36] It's a shame, though, because I think there's a lot of passion for an ARM-powered NAS,
|
| [169.36 --> 172.88] specifically for those of us who are looking for low-power solutions.
|
| [173.54 --> 177.18] We had some hopes that Helios was going to produce that for us.
|
| [177.44 --> 180.96] Well, I think this speaks to some motivations that I've been feeling lately,
|
| [181.12 --> 185.12] particularly after the last week getting the tour of the factory and seeing all the CNC machines
|
| [185.12 --> 187.22] and all the powder coating stuff.
|
| [187.40 --> 191.56] And, I mean, if ever you get the chance to be in Denver and do a tour of System76,
|
| [192.44 --> 194.08] I'm not affiliated with them in any way.
|
| [194.20 --> 195.86] You know, they're not a sponsor of the show or anything,
|
| [196.36 --> 198.22] although they do sponsor other JB shows.
|
| [198.22 --> 199.62] Just Coder, but yeah.
|
| [200.12 --> 201.42] Oh, just Coder. That's right.
|
| [201.88 --> 203.74] I mean, you know, maybe we should have them sponsor this show,
|
| [203.82 --> 207.86] because those Thaleoses would make great NASes, so maybe they should be.
|
| [208.70 --> 211.20] It was a truly inspirational experience for me.
|
| [211.24 --> 216.40] So I'm sat here thinking, okay, COBOL, who was my hope, my light in this space,
|
| [216.46 --> 218.20] has just bowed out.
|
| [218.30 --> 223.16] Maybe Alex should start a company and build the ultimate NAS.
|
| [223.36 --> 224.68] You know, maybe I should do that.
|
| [224.68 --> 226.98] I think you've got a little bit of experience, Alex,
|
| [227.08 --> 229.96] and some trials and tribulations that you've gone through already,
|
| [230.08 --> 231.20] so maybe you're perfectly suited.
|
| [231.46 --> 234.16] You could prototype 3D print the enclosure.
|
| [234.52 --> 236.26] Well, you know, that was one of the things that struck me.
|
| [236.32 --> 239.26] I know this is turning into a System76 factory tour recap,
|
| [239.56 --> 242.70] but this is one of the things that struck me most during that tour, actually.
|
| [242.78 --> 245.50] I asked them, you know, do you use 3D printing for your prototypes?
|
| [245.94 --> 249.16] And they were like, well, no, it's just easier to do it in metal, isn't it?
|
| [249.52 --> 250.36] And I'm like, is it?
|
| [250.36 --> 251.96] Yeah, they used to.
|
| [252.20 --> 253.48] Back in the day, they did.
|
| [253.68 --> 256.40] I think one of the realities is that it's, with the equipment they have,
|
| [256.44 --> 258.12] it's faster to make it out of metal.
|
| [258.30 --> 260.88] It is really, you know, I think the reason why you keep coming back to it, Alex,
|
| [260.94 --> 266.40] is because it is so hard to appreciate the amount of work that goes into manufacturing,
|
| [266.68 --> 268.08] and that's an obvious thing to say.
|
| [268.50 --> 273.80] But when you go to the factory, and you see every little thing they had to consider,
|
| [273.80 --> 277.90] and when they're bringing things in as a block of aluminum,
|
| [277.90 --> 280.76] and what's coming out on the other end is a keyboard or a case,
|
| [281.44 --> 286.04] you really have no idea how intricate that process is until you see it.
|
| [286.52 --> 290.54] And I think that's what is probably, I mean, that's what's resonated with me and stuck with me,
|
| [290.56 --> 292.10] and I got to imagine probably for you, too.
|
| [292.66 --> 296.16] Yeah, well, one example was Carl, who is the founder of System76.
|
| [296.58 --> 300.40] I was just stood next to a shelf with loads of different parts in it,
|
| [300.40 --> 304.26] and I picked up, like, an innocuous little nameplate, you know,
|
| [304.28 --> 306.28] about the size of a dog tag or something like that,
|
| [306.62 --> 310.22] and he jumped straight into a five-minute discussion telling me about all the different,
|
| [310.38 --> 312.80] you know, reasons why they pick that particular size,
|
| [313.26 --> 315.58] how it goes through their laser etching machine,
|
| [315.74 --> 318.20] and how they're considering doing direct engraving instead,
|
| [318.32 --> 319.12] and all that kind of stuff.
|
| [319.14 --> 323.50] And I'm like, wow, if that's the amount of thought that goes into a nameplate,
|
| [323.50 --> 324.92] or a serial number plate,
|
| [325.80 --> 330.38] this is going to be a big mountain to solve if I want to try and do it myself.
|
| [330.68 --> 332.44] That's what I take from it.
|
| [332.48 --> 335.02] You take from it, hmm, maybe Alex could make a Nash.
|
| [335.06 --> 335.72] That could be cool.
|
| [335.82 --> 338.80] I take from it, oh, my God, I would have to build a factory,
|
| [338.80 --> 340.70] and I would have to learn all this stuff.
|
| [341.12 --> 342.70] Oh, well, that sounds fun, doesn't it?
|
| [342.96 --> 344.18] Daunting, but fun.
|
| [344.66 --> 346.88] Yeah, if I had another life,
|
| [347.52 --> 350.60] if I had, like, you know, another hundred years,
|
| [350.68 --> 352.74] I definitely would get into it for sure.
|
| [353.20 --> 355.46] But you manufacture stuff every week as well,
|
| [355.50 --> 357.04] and you ship podcasts every week.
|
| [357.04 --> 361.46] Okay, you're not manufacturing aluminium into, you know, computer cases,
|
| [362.00 --> 364.68] but you ship and manufacture stuff just the same.
|
| [364.92 --> 366.02] That's true, and there have been many times
|
| [366.02 --> 367.82] when we refer to our production pipeline
|
| [367.82 --> 369.42] as kind of a manufacturing pipeline.
|
| [369.66 --> 374.92] And if one component is delayed or, you know, gets out of order,
|
| [375.34 --> 376.46] it does cause a jam up.
|
| [376.54 --> 379.10] There is a lot of that kind of building tech around that.
|
| [379.18 --> 381.20] Maybe that's why I don't have the appetite to do it again,
|
| [381.20 --> 383.34] but I definitely would sit here and encourage you.
|
| [383.64 --> 385.12] I'll be customer number one.
|
| [386.92 --> 387.80] I'll be number two.
|
| [388.28 --> 390.68] Well, there's a lot of roadblocks to overcome,
|
| [391.30 --> 393.58] but if I could just bring it back to Cobol for a minute,
|
| [393.84 --> 395.80] you know, one of the things I picked up on in my review
|
| [395.80 --> 398.56] was that the product wasn't 100% finished,
|
| [398.62 --> 400.32] and I've got to believe that with this news
|
| [400.32 --> 403.56] that some of the issues that were present with that NAS now
|
| [403.56 --> 405.10] will never be solved.
|
| [405.24 --> 407.24] You know, things like the backplane breaking,
|
| [407.24 --> 410.24] some of the plastic tabs, you know,
|
| [410.28 --> 411.64] the power connector and data connector
|
| [411.64 --> 413.82] on three of my hard drives, it turned out eventually.
|
| [414.74 --> 417.06] Problems with the two and a half gigabit network adapter.
|
| [417.70 --> 419.20] There was a bunch of other stuff as well.
|
| [419.36 --> 420.82] You know, you can go and listen to episode 33
|
| [420.82 --> 421.84] if you want the full review.
|
| [422.52 --> 424.74] Well, I worry now this means that some of this stuff's
|
| [424.74 --> 425.84] never going to get fixed.
|
| [426.48 --> 427.32] Do you think you killed them?
|
| [427.46 --> 429.24] Do you think that bad review killed them, Alex?
|
| [430.36 --> 431.26] You murdered them.
|
| [431.74 --> 432.76] Oh, don't say that.
|
| [432.82 --> 433.82] I mean, I didn't mean to.
|
| [433.88 --> 434.94] I was just trying to be honest.
|
| [434.94 --> 438.26] It was presented in a way that I felt was constructive
|
| [438.26 --> 439.44] to say that there are these,
|
| [439.92 --> 441.52] it's a very promising piece of hardware.
|
| [441.64 --> 444.26] I mean, the aluminium chassis was really lovely.
|
| [444.90 --> 446.78] There was just a couple of key things that let it down,
|
| [446.84 --> 448.52] you know, in terms of manufacturing tolerances
|
| [448.52 --> 449.88] and a couple of firmware things.
|
| [450.04 --> 452.28] But overall, they did a really great job.
|
| [452.32 --> 455.70] And I wish there was some way we could tell them that,
|
| [455.74 --> 458.00] you know, even though we weren't 100% positive,
|
| [458.00 --> 459.82] it was just because we loved the idea,
|
| [459.92 --> 462.06] not because we didn't want them to carry on and succeed.
|
| [462.64 --> 463.26] I agree completely.
|
| [463.26 --> 466.52] And they don't completely close the door in their blog post.
|
| [466.60 --> 468.10] We'll have that linked in the show notes if you want.
|
| [468.16 --> 469.78] They do kind of leave it cracked a little bit,
|
| [469.82 --> 470.76] like maybe it'll come back.
|
| [471.14 --> 474.10] But I wanted to shift gears and talk about something
|
| [474.10 --> 476.12] that could solve a big problem for me.
|
| [476.20 --> 478.30] I actually went out and I pre-ordered
|
| [478.30 --> 481.14] a bunch of Wyze 3 cameras a long time ago.
|
| [481.18 --> 483.74] And I have a box of Wyze 3 cameras
|
| [483.74 --> 485.36] that I haven't installed
|
| [485.36 --> 489.30] because they do not yet have an RTMP firmware
|
| [489.30 --> 491.72] or an RTSP firmware for Wyze 3.
|
| [492.06 --> 493.92] But Alex, I think you've solved that this week.
|
| [494.14 --> 495.86] Yeah, I don't know where I came across this,
|
| [495.98 --> 497.76] but I found a Docker container
|
| [497.76 --> 500.62] that is called Docker Wyze Bridge.
|
| [500.84 --> 502.12] Link in the show notes, of course.
|
| [502.48 --> 504.08] And essentially what this does
|
| [504.08 --> 507.62] is you give it your Wyze username and password
|
| [507.62 --> 509.86] and it goes and sort of acts as an intermediary
|
| [509.86 --> 512.18] between the Wyze API and the cameras.
|
| [512.18 --> 514.80] And somehow it hooks into the local feed
|
| [514.80 --> 516.00] on the cameras on your LAN
|
| [516.00 --> 520.22] and then presents you with a normal RTSP stream.
|
| [520.44 --> 522.26] So I've just got that feeding into Blue Iris
|
| [522.26 --> 524.28] and it just works.
|
| [524.78 --> 525.52] That's fascinating.
|
| [525.78 --> 528.18] And yeah, it can actually do both.
|
| [528.26 --> 530.52] It can pull from the Wyze servers
|
| [530.52 --> 531.68] using your credentials.
|
| [532.24 --> 534.00] Or with your credentials, it can use that.
|
| [534.10 --> 535.88] There's a library that the app uses
|
| [535.88 --> 538.50] and it essentially does a discovery on your network.
|
| [539.22 --> 541.04] And the Wyze app does this as well.
|
| [541.04 --> 544.24] And if it detects the camera, it uses LAN mode
|
| [544.24 --> 546.10] and it just does that locally
|
| [546.10 --> 548.20] and avoids the cloud relay.
|
| [548.92 --> 551.02] And you can also in your Docker Compose,
|
| [551.10 --> 553.30] there is an environment variable you can pass through
|
| [553.30 --> 555.82] that says LAN underscore only that says,
|
| [556.00 --> 557.84] don't even try the remote thing.
|
| [558.30 --> 560.66] Only stream if you can locally detect them.
|
| [561.06 --> 562.72] And that was the piece I was curious about.
|
| [562.78 --> 563.84] That's why I dug into this.
|
| [563.92 --> 566.04] And that means I could absolutely do this here in the RV,
|
| [566.22 --> 567.94] which means I could replace these Wyze cams
|
| [567.94 --> 568.88] that have been giving me trouble.
|
| [568.88 --> 570.20] The version two was good,
|
| [570.20 --> 572.20] but just didn't have enough horsepower,
|
| [572.44 --> 574.26] didn't really work so great at night.
|
| [574.58 --> 576.14] And the Wyze 3 solves those.
|
| [576.60 --> 578.54] And with this Docker Wyze bridge,
|
| [578.58 --> 581.32] which seems to have a decent community around it as well
|
| [581.32 --> 582.50] and some active development,
|
| [583.10 --> 585.54] I think my problems have been solved.
|
| [585.82 --> 587.46] And I'll give this a go, I think,
|
| [587.48 --> 589.28] once we get back into our home base.
|
| [589.28 --> 591.14] So far as I can tell,
|
| [591.24 --> 593.56] it only works on the V3 cameras.
|
| [593.80 --> 596.92] So I've got a couple of V2s flashed with the RTSP firmware
|
| [596.92 --> 599.02] and a couple of V3s.
|
| [599.12 --> 601.24] And the app will, in its logs,
|
| [601.36 --> 603.58] show me a bunch of errors for the two V2 cameras.
|
| [604.04 --> 605.68] I don't know if that's because I'm running the,
|
| [605.74 --> 608.60] you know, custom firmware or whatever it is.
|
| [609.30 --> 612.56] But the performance with the V3s is great.
|
| [612.66 --> 614.74] We've been using it as a baby monitor for my daughter.
|
| [614.74 --> 617.16] And the night vision on there is just,
|
| [617.50 --> 618.66] it's like daytime.
|
| [618.94 --> 619.86] It's wonderful.
|
| [620.44 --> 621.78] They blew it out of the park with the night vision.
|
| [622.00 --> 623.48] It's tricky with the firmwares.
|
| [623.62 --> 625.22] So this is an issue.
|
| [625.34 --> 626.30] And I'm glad you brought it up
|
| [626.30 --> 627.68] because we need to mention this on the show.
|
| [628.28 --> 630.06] And they have it on their GitHub page.
|
| [630.20 --> 635.24] There is a slightly older version of the firmware for V2
|
| [635.24 --> 637.24] that is compatible with the bridge.
|
| [637.38 --> 640.16] But if you use the latest firmware for V2,
|
| [640.68 --> 641.56] it doesn't work.
|
| [641.56 --> 646.82] And that actually holds true for some instances of the V3 model too.
|
| [646.90 --> 648.22] So there's a version that does work
|
| [648.22 --> 649.92] and there's a version that doesn't work with the V3
|
| [649.92 --> 651.90] and the pan camera as well.
|
| [652.28 --> 653.92] Anyways, the links in the show notes,
|
| [654.02 --> 655.40] you do need to check into that
|
| [655.40 --> 659.34] because I may have a really old firmware.
|
| [659.60 --> 660.60] And so I'm going to have a hard time
|
| [660.60 --> 663.12] getting just the right compatible firmware in some cases,
|
| [663.26 --> 665.20] but they have all the information you need.
|
| [665.92 --> 668.80] Back in episode 48, we talked about the Pi KVM,
|
| [668.80 --> 671.36] you know, that wonderful Raspberry Pi
|
| [671.36 --> 677.22] that captures HDMI and basically acts like a BMC KVM type thing.
|
| [677.64 --> 678.44] Well, good news.
|
| [678.62 --> 682.34] Their version 3 hat has finally entered Kickstarter mode.
|
| [682.86 --> 684.52] It is a little pricey.
|
| [684.78 --> 688.24] So the main hat, which doesn't include a Raspberry Pi,
|
| [688.80 --> 690.12] costs $145.
|
| [690.52 --> 693.38] So by the time you've added a Pi as well and a case,
|
| [693.38 --> 696.02] it's going to be north of $200.
|
| [697.20 --> 699.16] But you do get a lot of useful stuff in there,
|
| [699.22 --> 702.34] like a USB-C bridge and CSI, you know, cables,
|
| [702.44 --> 703.18] all that kind of stuff.
|
| [703.94 --> 706.82] Now, Wendell's done a video about this on his channel on YouTube.
|
| [707.20 --> 707.86] So if you're curious,
|
| [707.90 --> 709.80] you can go and find out more about it over there.
|
| [710.72 --> 712.12] I do wonder about the price.
|
| [712.14 --> 713.04] And what do you think, Chris,
|
| [713.24 --> 715.06] at that sort of $200 level?
|
| [715.06 --> 717.56] Is that too much?
|
| [718.40 --> 720.10] So it looks like right now on Kickstarter,
|
| [720.50 --> 723.90] it's $145 and you'd get it by October 2021,
|
| [724.20 --> 725.72] which seems pretty reasonable to me.
|
| [726.28 --> 731.42] The price is, yeah, it feels high for a hat.
|
| [732.10 --> 734.72] Now, I think the price is a little more reasonable
|
| [734.72 --> 736.16] if you make the assumption
|
| [736.16 --> 738.54] that just about everybody already has a Raspberry Pi 4
|
| [738.54 --> 740.80] that would want to use something like this, right?
|
| [740.80 --> 743.40] If you're going to use a Raspberry Pi-powered
|
| [743.40 --> 745.92] keyboard video mouse switcher,
|
| [745.92 --> 748.80] you probably already got a couple of Pis laying around.
|
| [749.26 --> 749.98] So I don't think,
|
| [750.18 --> 751.50] I think you just kind of null that out
|
| [751.50 --> 752.90] because that's already a sunk cost.
|
| [753.00 --> 754.62] And so it really is just the $145.
|
| [755.30 --> 758.34] Now, you tell me, Alex, like how solid is this?
|
| [758.40 --> 760.60] Is this, are you still using it?
|
| [760.66 --> 763.72] Is it worth $145 now that you've used it for a bit?
|
| [764.84 --> 768.72] I'm thinking I probably couldn't get a good KVM at that price.
|
| [769.18 --> 769.92] I probably couldn't.
|
| [770.02 --> 772.50] So I'd have to go with your word though,
|
| [772.50 --> 773.14] if it's worth that.
|
| [773.44 --> 775.86] Well, I'll tell you what I'm comparing it to in my mind, at least.
|
| [775.92 --> 779.40] And that is a motherboard with IPMI built in.
|
| [779.78 --> 783.34] So I'm actually going back to England in a couple of weeks
|
| [783.34 --> 786.44] to go and introduce granddaughter to grandparents.
|
| [786.96 --> 788.32] So hello, if you're listening.
|
| [789.12 --> 790.38] And as part of that, I was thinking,
|
| [790.48 --> 791.82] well, it would be nice to upgrade my,
|
| [791.98 --> 794.26] you know, nearly 10 year old server in England
|
| [794.26 --> 795.78] with a slightly more modern motherboard
|
| [795.78 --> 797.90] and a slightly more modern IPMI implementation
|
| [797.90 --> 799.42] that isn't based around Java.
|
| [799.42 --> 805.64] And an eighth gen motherboard costs me around $150,
|
| [806.28 --> 808.72] give or take, depending on the features that I want.
|
| [809.06 --> 811.56] And I was looking at some ASRock rack stuff,
|
| [811.80 --> 814.96] which thanks to, you know, the current chip shortage
|
| [814.96 --> 818.70] seems to be in the $300, $250 to $300 range.
|
| [818.70 --> 821.40] And so if I look at that and think,
|
| [821.52 --> 826.48] I've got a built-in IPMI directly on the motherboard
|
| [826.48 --> 829.56] that I know is going to be absolutely rock solid
|
| [829.56 --> 831.64] versus an external device,
|
| [831.74 --> 834.68] which in my experience has been good,
|
| [834.76 --> 836.38] but it's still an external device.
|
| [836.50 --> 837.82] And, you know, it's another power supply.
|
| [837.98 --> 840.44] It's another operating system to keep updated,
|
| [840.68 --> 841.52] et cetera, et cetera,
|
| [841.52 --> 844.18] which in some respects could be a good thing.
|
| [844.18 --> 846.00] In other respects could be a bad thing.
|
| [846.72 --> 848.68] So the cost is kind of a wash, you know,
|
| [848.72 --> 850.56] it's about the same to get a built-in
|
| [850.56 --> 852.36] versus this external unit.
|
| [853.88 --> 855.46] Probably just go for the built-in one,
|
| [855.60 --> 856.58] to be honest with you.
|
| [857.36 --> 861.06] Except for the fact that this Pi version
|
| [861.06 --> 862.98] using the HDMI switch,
|
| [863.14 --> 865.54] which is linked in the blog post in episode 48
|
| [865.54 --> 868.38] that I talked about in that episode,
|
| [869.00 --> 870.78] I've actually got three devices
|
| [870.78 --> 873.08] hanging off this single Pi.
|
| [873.08 --> 875.10] And that has actually worked really, really well.
|
| [875.30 --> 877.66] So if you're able to spit that $150
|
| [877.66 --> 879.74] between three devices,
|
| [880.18 --> 882.68] suddenly that tips the scales quite a bit.
|
| [883.30 --> 883.50] Hmm.
|
| [883.92 --> 885.38] I also could see some value in there
|
| [885.38 --> 886.96] if you needed to add it to devices
|
| [886.96 --> 888.86] that IPMI wouldn't be an option.
|
| [889.30 --> 890.04] Like, you know,
|
| [890.08 --> 892.44] I'd love to have console-level access
|
| [892.44 --> 893.90] to my studio machines right now
|
| [893.90 --> 894.68] while I'm remote,
|
| [894.76 --> 895.50] while I'm here in Denver.
|
| [895.92 --> 896.98] For your other Raspberry Pis?
|
| [897.36 --> 898.20] Yeah, that too.
|
| [898.40 --> 899.34] It would be a great way
|
| [899.34 --> 901.22] to get console access to my Raspberry Pis.
|
| [901.22 --> 902.00] Oh, okay.
|
| [902.58 --> 903.02] All right.
|
| [903.08 --> 904.66] Now you're making me think
|
| [904.66 --> 906.08] maybe I should back this.
|
| [907.60 --> 908.42] Damn it, Alex.
|
| [908.74 --> 910.62] Well, now I've actually been in Lady Dupes.
|
| [911.52 --> 913.42] I've seen how you cool your
|
| [913.42 --> 914.72] air quotes server cupboard.
|
| [916.74 --> 917.70] It's pretty cool.
|
| [920.04 --> 921.50] Hey man, I just got to get airflow.
|
| [921.70 --> 922.48] That's all that matters.
|
| [922.58 --> 923.80] I just got to get airflow.
|
| [924.42 --> 926.92] How hot was it in the RV
|
| [926.92 --> 929.08] whilst you were parked at System76 last week?
|
| [929.18 --> 930.40] A hundred and seven?
|
| [930.72 --> 931.92] Yeah, it was a hundred and seven.
|
| [932.04 --> 933.58] I think the hottest we ever got in here,
|
| [933.62 --> 934.58] though, was actually Nebraska.
|
| [934.78 --> 936.64] I think it got near to 120 in here
|
| [936.64 --> 937.72] while we were recording.
|
| [938.12 --> 939.40] Which actually, it was impressive
|
| [939.40 --> 940.90] because the server, quote,
|
| [941.10 --> 942.64] room was the coolest place
|
| [942.64 --> 944.02] in the whole RV at that time.
|
| [947.22 --> 949.50] Leno.com slash SSH.
|
| [949.50 --> 952.28] Go there to get $100 in 60-day credit
|
| [952.28 --> 952.90] on a new account.
|
| [953.22 --> 954.60] And you go there to support the show.
|
| [954.84 --> 955.96] Hey guys, guess what?
|
| [956.04 --> 957.36] This week's episode marks
|
| [957.36 --> 958.50] our one-year anniversary
|
| [958.50 --> 959.94] going independent again.
|
| [960.42 --> 960.70] Yay!
|
| [961.12 --> 961.58] How about that?
|
| [961.62 --> 962.38] How awesome is that?
|
| [962.74 --> 964.02] It's so cool
|
| [964.02 --> 965.90] because Linode helped make that possible.
|
| [966.06 --> 967.84] Amongst our member support
|
| [967.84 --> 968.58] and those of you
|
| [968.58 --> 969.52] who went over to
|
| [969.52 --> 971.16] linode.com slash SSH.
|
| [971.16 --> 972.16] We're here now,
|
| [972.34 --> 973.66] rocking a year of independence.
|
| [974.00 --> 974.76] And Linode,
|
| [974.96 --> 977.10] they've been independent since 2003.
|
| [977.48 --> 980.12] So they've really figured this out.
|
| [980.22 --> 982.34] Like that's 18 years of focusing
|
| [982.34 --> 984.22] on just being awesome
|
| [984.22 --> 985.56] at cloud computing.
|
| [985.76 --> 987.48] They started when it was new
|
| [987.48 --> 988.80] and they have just evolved with it
|
| [988.80 --> 990.06] and they have remained competitive
|
| [990.06 --> 991.12] and sharp.
|
| [991.40 --> 992.96] They have 11 global data centers
|
| [992.96 --> 994.60] serving nearly a million customers
|
| [994.60 --> 996.22] and businesses around the globe.
|
| [996.22 --> 997.00] But really,
|
| [997.20 --> 998.98] their mission remains unchanged
|
| [998.98 --> 1000.38] since 18 years ago.
|
| [1000.86 --> 1002.36] Make cloud computing simple,
|
| [1002.62 --> 1002.94] affordable,
|
| [1003.10 --> 1004.04] and accessible to all.
|
| [1004.36 --> 1005.74] If you set up thousands of servers
|
| [1005.74 --> 1006.86] or if you've never set up
|
| [1006.86 --> 1007.58] a server before,
|
| [1008.00 --> 1009.06] Linode can make that work.
|
| [1009.16 --> 1010.18] I know it sounds like
|
| [1010.18 --> 1011.04] an impossible task.
|
| [1011.48 --> 1012.78] That's why I rave about them.
|
| [1012.82 --> 1014.00] They've really done a great job.
|
| [1014.36 --> 1015.18] We've been using
|
| [1015.18 --> 1016.80] the absolute schmeck
|
| [1016.80 --> 1018.16] out of their S3 compatible
|
| [1018.16 --> 1019.08] object storage.
|
| [1019.52 --> 1021.20] We created a Denver bucket
|
| [1021.20 --> 1023.26] and we created a System76 bucket
|
| [1023.26 --> 1024.78] and all of the media
|
| [1024.78 --> 1026.40] across multiple cameras,
|
| [1026.56 --> 1027.46] multiple recorders,
|
| [1027.54 --> 1028.46] all gets uploaded
|
| [1028.46 --> 1029.64] to those buckets.
|
| [1029.96 --> 1031.02] And then our next cloud instance,
|
| [1031.12 --> 1031.72] what we put on there,
|
| [1031.78 --> 1032.90] also saves to their S3
|
| [1032.90 --> 1033.96] compatible object storage.
|
| [1034.26 --> 1035.10] And then my system's
|
| [1035.10 --> 1036.00] back up there as well,
|
| [1036.46 --> 1037.90] right here from the RV.
|
| [1038.24 --> 1039.04] It's pretty awesome
|
| [1039.04 --> 1040.62] and it's really just a great way
|
| [1040.62 --> 1041.34] to use Linode
|
| [1041.34 --> 1042.34] and not even have to have
|
| [1042.34 --> 1043.40] a server running in front of it.
|
| [1043.82 --> 1045.56] It's sort of like,
|
| [1045.94 --> 1046.82] it feels like a power move.
|
| [1047.06 --> 1048.94] They also have a great DNS manager.
|
| [1048.94 --> 1050.04] They have Kubernetes
|
| [1050.04 --> 1051.24] and Terraform support.
|
| [1051.36 --> 1052.46] They have super fast networking
|
| [1052.46 --> 1054.44] because they are their own ISP.
|
| [1054.78 --> 1057.02] And their pricing is 30 to 50% cheaper
|
| [1057.02 --> 1058.42] than other major cloud providers
|
| [1058.42 --> 1058.88] out there.
|
| [1059.40 --> 1060.72] You know, it's also a great way
|
| [1060.72 --> 1062.26] to go with a multi-cloud strategy.
|
| [1062.42 --> 1063.62] Perhaps you want something local
|
| [1063.62 --> 1065.86] and you want something up in the cloud
|
| [1065.86 --> 1067.40] or maybe you want something
|
| [1067.40 --> 1068.90] across multiple cloud providers
|
| [1068.90 --> 1070.26] and then network them
|
| [1070.26 --> 1071.54] using something like Nebula.
|
| [1072.08 --> 1073.06] Linode can be part
|
| [1073.06 --> 1074.16] of that strategy as well.
|
| [1074.38 --> 1075.48] They made our Jupiter Colony
|
| [1075.48 --> 1077.48] reunion road trip possible as well.
|
| [1077.70 --> 1079.96] Our meetups were powered by Linode
|
| [1079.96 --> 1081.52] and it has been a hoot.
|
| [1081.98 --> 1082.76] So go sign up today
|
| [1082.76 --> 1083.76] and see what I've been talking about.
|
| [1083.76 --> 1085.06] That $100 you're going to get,
|
| [1085.36 --> 1086.44] you can really use that
|
| [1086.44 --> 1087.36] to try the service out.
|
| [1087.44 --> 1088.40] You can really get a feel
|
| [1088.40 --> 1089.38] for what it's capable of.
|
| [1089.74 --> 1091.44] That's $100 to really try something
|
| [1091.44 --> 1092.22] or learn something.
|
| [1092.64 --> 1094.54] Linode.com slash SSH.
|
| [1094.72 --> 1097.00] That's Linode.com slash SSH.
|
| [1098.50 --> 1099.84] Here's an email from Hans.
|
| [1100.28 --> 1100.88] Hans says,
|
| [1101.00 --> 1101.64] Hey guys,
|
| [1101.82 --> 1103.66] you touched upon password managers
|
| [1103.66 --> 1105.30] and Bitwarden in episode 51.
|
| [1105.50 --> 1106.02] Like Brent,
|
| [1106.02 --> 1107.66] I'm using KeePass XC.
|
| [1108.60 --> 1109.48] Good choice.
|
| [1109.48 --> 1110.82] What I like about it
|
| [1110.82 --> 1112.18] is that it's easy to back up
|
| [1112.18 --> 1113.20] because the whole database
|
| [1113.20 --> 1114.46] is just a single file.
|
| [1115.02 --> 1115.86] Currently sync it
|
| [1115.86 --> 1116.74] between my devices
|
| [1116.74 --> 1118.60] via self-hosted sync thing instance
|
| [1118.60 --> 1119.96] running on an ARM board
|
| [1119.96 --> 1121.58] in our laundry room.
|
| [1122.06 --> 1122.86] Laundry room servers.
|
| [1123.00 --> 1123.36] Very nice.
|
| [1124.04 --> 1124.76] That being said,
|
| [1124.86 --> 1126.38] this setup is a few years old
|
| [1126.38 --> 1127.92] and if I would start from scratch
|
| [1127.92 --> 1129.68] or if I had to share the password
|
| [1129.68 --> 1130.42] with other people,
|
| [1130.58 --> 1132.16] I'd definitely give Bitwarden a look.
|
| [1132.72 --> 1133.74] One thing I wonder though,
|
| [1133.84 --> 1135.32] when you host your passwords
|
| [1135.32 --> 1136.98] in a more complex application
|
| [1136.98 --> 1137.74] like Bitwarden,
|
| [1138.04 --> 1139.82] are you taking any extra measures
|
| [1139.82 --> 1141.16] to secure your servers?
|
| [1141.80 --> 1142.82] I suppose it's reasonable
|
| [1142.82 --> 1144.42] to trust the security
|
| [1144.42 --> 1146.60] of Bitwarden itself,
|
| [1146.78 --> 1147.54] but if an attacker
|
| [1147.54 --> 1148.94] would gain access to your server,
|
| [1149.10 --> 1150.32] would it be easier for them
|
| [1150.32 --> 1151.04] to do harm
|
| [1151.04 --> 1152.58] as compared to what you would
|
| [1152.58 --> 1154.12] just host an encrypted
|
| [1154.12 --> 1155.78] KeePass database file to?
|
| [1156.40 --> 1157.76] Thanks and keep on going.
|
| [1157.96 --> 1158.14] Hans.
|
| [1158.54 --> 1159.34] Well, I think it depends
|
| [1159.34 --> 1161.38] on how open your server is.
|
| [1161.50 --> 1162.74] If it's connected to the internet,
|
| [1162.90 --> 1163.46] you've got to assume
|
| [1163.46 --> 1164.16] at some point,
|
| [1164.64 --> 1164.90] you know,
|
| [1165.02 --> 1166.54] it's possible it might get
|
| [1166.54 --> 1167.36] compromised.
|
| [1168.52 --> 1170.40] But it speaks to a larger
|
| [1170.40 --> 1172.60] philosophy that I tend
|
| [1172.60 --> 1173.42] to subscribe to
|
| [1173.42 --> 1174.24] with this kind of stuff
|
| [1174.24 --> 1176.00] of don't be the tallest nail.
|
| [1176.42 --> 1176.56] You know,
|
| [1176.74 --> 1178.54] take some basic precautions.
|
| [1178.74 --> 1180.10] Have things like fail to ban
|
| [1180.10 --> 1182.50] installed on your SSH logins.
|
| [1183.04 --> 1184.26] Open as few ports
|
| [1184.26 --> 1184.86] in your firewall
|
| [1184.86 --> 1185.92] as you possibly can.
|
| [1186.38 --> 1187.84] Use something like WireGuard
|
| [1187.84 --> 1188.60] or TailScale
|
| [1188.60 --> 1189.48] or something like that
|
| [1189.48 --> 1190.30] to actually connect
|
| [1190.30 --> 1191.40] to the service in question
|
| [1191.40 --> 1192.98] so that all the data
|
| [1192.98 --> 1194.28] that travels between
|
| [1194.28 --> 1195.28] everything is encrypted.
|
| [1195.28 --> 1196.72] You know,
|
| [1196.76 --> 1198.20] and use things like SSH keys
|
| [1198.20 --> 1199.10] instead of passwords.
|
| [1199.40 --> 1200.54] Just those things alone
|
| [1200.54 --> 1201.08] are going to make you
|
| [1201.08 --> 1202.26] more secure than the average
|
| [1202.26 --> 1203.30] server administrator.
|
| [1203.92 --> 1205.00] Vault Warden is the new
|
| [1205.00 --> 1205.92] hotness these days.
|
| [1206.04 --> 1207.70] Bitwarden RS is the old name.
|
| [1208.10 --> 1209.58] And I do agree with everything
|
| [1209.58 --> 1210.56] you just said, Alex.
|
| [1211.12 --> 1212.32] Don't be the tallest nail.
|
| [1212.42 --> 1213.00] But also,
|
| [1213.28 --> 1214.44] consider the security
|
| [1214.44 --> 1215.22] of the box
|
| [1215.22 --> 1215.80] if possible.
|
| [1215.90 --> 1216.94] Limited internet access.
|
| [1217.42 --> 1217.86] And also,
|
| [1218.08 --> 1218.82] keep in mind,
|
| [1219.38 --> 1220.76] Bitwarden is using
|
| [1220.76 --> 1222.22] local encryption.
|
| [1222.22 --> 1223.68] So it encrypts
|
| [1223.68 --> 1224.54] and hashes your data
|
| [1224.54 --> 1225.82] on your local device
|
| [1225.82 --> 1227.06] before it sends it
|
| [1227.06 --> 1227.92] to the cloud server,
|
| [1228.06 --> 1229.46] even if it's their service
|
| [1229.46 --> 1231.22] or your self-hosted service.
|
| [1231.54 --> 1232.42] So that gives you
|
| [1232.42 --> 1233.60] some peace of mind
|
| [1233.60 --> 1234.30] knowing that the data
|
| [1234.30 --> 1235.18] that's at rest
|
| [1235.18 --> 1235.66] on the server
|
| [1235.66 --> 1236.28] is encrypted.
|
| [1236.84 --> 1237.14] Now, Alex,
|
| [1237.18 --> 1237.68] you mentioned
|
| [1237.68 --> 1239.10] being a shorter nail.
|
| [1239.98 --> 1241.60] Have either of you
|
| [1241.60 --> 1242.84] in all of your years
|
| [1242.84 --> 1243.86] encountered situations
|
| [1243.86 --> 1244.96] when you were
|
| [1244.96 --> 1245.82] one of the taller nails
|
| [1245.82 --> 1246.84] and ran into issues?
|
| [1247.62 --> 1247.86] You mean,
|
| [1247.90 --> 1248.80] like had a server compromised?
|
| [1249.06 --> 1249.44] Basically,
|
| [1249.52 --> 1250.14] that's what I'm asking.
|
| [1250.14 --> 1250.58] Yeah,
|
| [1250.70 --> 1251.70] it's never very exciting.
|
| [1252.28 --> 1253.44] It's usually like
|
| [1253.44 --> 1254.12] a server gets turned
|
| [1254.12 --> 1255.50] into an FTP box
|
| [1255.50 --> 1257.44] or somebody gets a process
|
| [1257.44 --> 1258.20] on your machine.
|
| [1258.30 --> 1258.40] I mean,
|
| [1258.42 --> 1259.18] I think I've had
|
| [1259.18 --> 1260.32] maybe a client or two
|
| [1260.32 --> 1261.30] that that's happened to.
|
| [1262.16 --> 1263.38] It's never anything
|
| [1263.38 --> 1264.48] more exciting
|
| [1264.48 --> 1265.06] than somebody trying
|
| [1265.06 --> 1265.84] to mine crypto
|
| [1265.84 --> 1266.80] or something these days.
|
| [1267.86 --> 1268.98] Can I admit something
|
| [1268.98 --> 1269.62] to you both?
|
| [1269.92 --> 1270.38] Oh, yeah.
|
| [1270.62 --> 1271.64] I used to run
|
| [1271.64 --> 1273.32] remote desktop
|
| [1273.32 --> 1274.38] open to the internet
|
| [1274.38 --> 1275.36] with the password
|
| [1275.36 --> 1276.16] 22.
|
| [1277.76 --> 1279.08] You maniac.
|
| [1279.08 --> 1280.88] for like three years.
|
| [1281.02 --> 1282.18] And how'd that go, Alex?
|
| [1283.42 --> 1283.82] Well,
|
| [1284.10 --> 1285.40] it didn't end well,
|
| [1285.82 --> 1286.06] Brent.
|
| [1286.32 --> 1287.54] It didn't end well at all.
|
| [1287.80 --> 1288.18] No.
|
| [1289.76 --> 1290.52] What happened?
|
| [1290.72 --> 1291.08] Tell us.
|
| [1292.08 --> 1293.42] They decided
|
| [1293.42 --> 1294.96] to wipe my hard drives.
|
| [1295.46 --> 1296.12] Oh, no.
|
| [1297.06 --> 1297.94] Oh, that sucks.
|
| [1298.06 --> 1298.58] That sucks.
|
| [1298.68 --> 1299.36] I suppose maybe
|
| [1299.36 --> 1300.00] that's better than
|
| [1300.00 --> 1301.20] using it for something nefarious
|
| [1301.20 --> 1301.92] or maybe they did
|
| [1301.92 --> 1302.64] and then they wiped it
|
| [1302.64 --> 1303.44] so there's no track.
|
| [1303.52 --> 1304.14] So maybe they did
|
| [1304.14 --> 1305.08] do something nefarious.
|
| [1305.26 --> 1306.08] I have no idea.
|
| [1306.08 --> 1306.50] I mean,
|
| [1306.52 --> 1307.04] if your password
|
| [1307.04 --> 1307.56] is 22,
|
| [1307.80 --> 1310.22] maybe old Alex
|
| [1310.22 --> 1311.14] didn't know how to check.
|
| [1313.06 --> 1313.42] Yeah.
|
| [1313.52 --> 1313.72] I mean,
|
| [1313.74 --> 1314.36] back in the day,
|
| [1314.50 --> 1316.54] that was something
|
| [1316.54 --> 1317.90] you just didn't really think of
|
| [1317.90 --> 1318.74] way back in the day.
|
| [1318.82 --> 1319.32] Things were just
|
| [1319.32 --> 1319.92] on the internet.
|
| [1320.10 --> 1322.14] When I first got exposure
|
| [1322.14 --> 1324.12] to TCP IP networking,
|
| [1324.68 --> 1325.82] everything had a public
|
| [1325.82 --> 1326.56] internet address
|
| [1326.56 --> 1327.32] on the network.
|
| [1327.72 --> 1328.84] And it wasn't until
|
| [1328.84 --> 1330.18] sometime later
|
| [1330.18 --> 1331.36] that we had firewalls
|
| [1331.36 --> 1332.12] and NATs.
|
| [1332.20 --> 1333.04] And so for a short period
|
| [1333.04 --> 1333.30] of time,
|
| [1333.34 --> 1333.90] you could basically
|
| [1333.90 --> 1334.80] connect to everything.
|
| [1336.30 --> 1337.58] There was some crazy stuff
|
| [1337.58 --> 1338.32] we did back then.
|
| [1338.88 --> 1339.58] I didn't want to put you guys
|
| [1339.58 --> 1339.98] on the spot,
|
| [1340.08 --> 1341.00] but I would be curious
|
| [1341.00 --> 1343.14] about how to go about
|
| [1343.14 --> 1344.30] detecting some of this stuff,
|
| [1344.54 --> 1344.76] you know,
|
| [1344.78 --> 1345.62] even from a most
|
| [1345.62 --> 1347.00] very basic level.
|
| [1347.68 --> 1348.00] Hmm.
|
| [1348.18 --> 1348.42] Well,
|
| [1348.48 --> 1348.82] I mean,
|
| [1348.82 --> 1349.24] I'm sure Alex,
|
| [1349.26 --> 1350.10] you probably have a few ideas.
|
| [1350.26 --> 1351.18] My first couple
|
| [1351.18 --> 1351.78] that come to mind
|
| [1351.78 --> 1353.40] would be know what processes
|
| [1353.40 --> 1353.94] should be writing
|
| [1353.94 --> 1354.58] on your box,
|
| [1354.72 --> 1355.60] check your logs.
|
| [1355.96 --> 1356.46] I mean,
|
| [1356.48 --> 1358.16] almost every single time
|
| [1358.16 --> 1359.70] that a client machine
|
| [1359.70 --> 1360.10] or something
|
| [1360.10 --> 1361.56] was behaving poorly,
|
| [1362.24 --> 1363.18] I could almost immediately
|
| [1363.18 --> 1364.14] just suss it out
|
| [1364.14 --> 1364.84] by running top.
|
| [1365.10 --> 1365.54] I mean,
|
| [1365.58 --> 1365.90] really,
|
| [1366.18 --> 1366.40] because,
|
| [1366.54 --> 1366.64] you know,
|
| [1366.70 --> 1367.52] you know what that machine
|
| [1367.52 --> 1368.40] is supposed to be doing.
|
| [1368.60 --> 1369.58] And if there's some process
|
| [1369.58 --> 1370.50] going crazy on there
|
| [1370.50 --> 1371.34] that has nothing to do
|
| [1371.34 --> 1372.28] with the responsibilities
|
| [1372.28 --> 1373.18] of that box,
|
| [1373.28 --> 1374.38] you got a pretty good idea
|
| [1374.38 --> 1374.98] of what it is.
|
| [1375.66 --> 1376.56] And then you look
|
| [1376.56 --> 1377.18] at your logs,
|
| [1377.26 --> 1377.42] right?
|
| [1377.42 --> 1378.96] You look at the active users
|
| [1378.96 --> 1380.42] that are logged onto the system
|
| [1380.42 --> 1381.96] and you kind of start
|
| [1381.96 --> 1382.62] tracing it back.
|
| [1382.70 --> 1383.22] Usually you'll look
|
| [1383.22 --> 1383.80] at the process
|
| [1383.80 --> 1384.32] and there'll be like
|
| [1384.32 --> 1386.08] some weird path
|
| [1386.08 --> 1386.64] or URL
|
| [1386.64 --> 1387.86] for a process
|
| [1387.86 --> 1388.72] that looks normal,
|
| [1388.82 --> 1389.92] but it's in the wrong place
|
| [1389.92 --> 1390.68] or it's being run
|
| [1390.68 --> 1391.56] by the wrong user
|
| [1391.56 --> 1392.92] and you kind of track
|
| [1392.92 --> 1393.54] it back from there.
|
| [1394.40 --> 1395.44] Depends where
|
| [1395.44 --> 1396.98] your expertise lies.
|
| [1397.48 --> 1399.12] If you're a networking guy,
|
| [1399.38 --> 1400.24] you could use something
|
| [1400.24 --> 1401.32] like Snort,
|
| [1401.84 --> 1402.64] which is essentially
|
| [1402.64 --> 1404.52] a packet filter
|
| [1404.52 --> 1405.78] and it looks for certain
|
| [1405.78 --> 1406.80] patterns of packets.
|
| [1406.96 --> 1407.12] Yeah,
|
| [1407.16 --> 1408.50] or bandwidth charts as well.
|
| [1408.58 --> 1408.72] You know,
|
| [1408.74 --> 1409.34] that sometimes
|
| [1409.34 --> 1410.32] will be an indication
|
| [1410.32 --> 1410.98] something's up
|
| [1410.98 --> 1411.40] as you'll see
|
| [1411.40 --> 1412.22] your bandwidth usage
|
| [1412.22 --> 1412.86] spikes up.
|
| [1414.14 --> 1415.14] And would you guys say
|
| [1415.14 --> 1416.02] that containerizing
|
| [1416.02 --> 1417.24] some of your services
|
| [1417.24 --> 1418.14] is a way to
|
| [1418.14 --> 1419.06] help this situation?
|
| [1419.06 --> 1421.56] No.
|
| [1421.94 --> 1422.30] No.
|
| [1424.72 --> 1425.08] No,
|
| [1425.18 --> 1425.38] I mean,
|
| [1425.40 --> 1425.62] really,
|
| [1425.68 --> 1425.96] in a way,
|
| [1426.02 --> 1426.70] it makes it worse.
|
| [1426.84 --> 1427.56] I think it makes it worse
|
| [1427.56 --> 1428.74] because there's more processes
|
| [1428.74 --> 1429.80] and more things going on
|
| [1429.80 --> 1430.96] on a box in some cases.
|
| [1431.48 --> 1432.18] But you do have
|
| [1432.18 --> 1432.76] better security
|
| [1432.76 --> 1433.58] in terms of networking
|
| [1433.58 --> 1434.22] control
|
| [1434.22 --> 1435.70] and process isolation
|
| [1435.70 --> 1436.84] and the ability
|
| [1436.84 --> 1437.68] to just destroy
|
| [1437.68 --> 1438.20] a container
|
| [1438.20 --> 1439.00] and recreate it
|
| [1439.00 --> 1439.46] if something did
|
| [1439.46 --> 1439.88] go sideways.
|
| [1440.02 --> 1440.36] So it's,
|
| [1440.68 --> 1440.96] I mean,
|
| [1440.96 --> 1441.40] it's a mix.
|
| [1441.48 --> 1442.28] I think it's good and bad.
|
| [1442.40 --> 1442.74] But I'm sure,
|
| [1442.82 --> 1442.96] Alex,
|
| [1443.00 --> 1443.58] you must have thoughts.
|
| [1443.66 --> 1444.24] You must have thoughts.
|
| [1444.58 --> 1444.70] Well,
|
| [1444.88 --> 1445.52] containers good,
|
| [1445.60 --> 1446.40] everything else bad,
|
| [1446.52 --> 1446.76] right?
|
| [1446.76 --> 1447.52] That's my viewpoint.
|
| [1447.52 --> 1451.56] But I think containers
|
| [1451.56 --> 1452.66] are better in this situation
|
| [1452.66 --> 1453.40] because let's say
|
| [1453.40 --> 1454.82] you've got an NGINX web server
|
| [1454.82 --> 1456.44] listening with your
|
| [1456.44 --> 1458.46] vault warden behind it
|
| [1458.46 --> 1459.88] or whatever the web server is
|
| [1459.88 --> 1461.18] that's exposing your passwords
|
| [1461.18 --> 1462.38] to you.
|
| [1462.90 --> 1464.46] If somebody was to compromise
|
| [1464.46 --> 1466.46] something in that code
|
| [1466.46 --> 1468.04] and do a buffer overflow
|
| [1468.04 --> 1468.76] or do something
|
| [1468.76 --> 1469.76] that meant they could get
|
| [1469.76 --> 1470.56] something out of memory
|
| [1470.56 --> 1471.30] that they shouldn't
|
| [1471.30 --> 1473.58] and extrapolate some data
|
| [1473.58 --> 1474.94] that they shouldn't get,
|
| [1474.94 --> 1476.98] the blast radius of that
|
| [1476.98 --> 1477.80] is going to be limited
|
| [1477.80 --> 1478.76] to the scope
|
| [1478.76 --> 1480.32] that that container
|
| [1480.32 --> 1481.48] has access to.
|
| [1482.22 --> 1483.72] And so running things
|
| [1483.72 --> 1484.22] in a container
|
| [1484.22 --> 1485.20] is more secure
|
| [1485.20 --> 1486.74] simply by virtue
|
| [1486.74 --> 1487.26] of the fact
|
| [1487.26 --> 1488.46] that you are scoping
|
| [1488.46 --> 1489.48] what that container
|
| [1489.48 --> 1490.44] has access to
|
| [1490.44 --> 1491.60] on the host system.
|
| [1492.36 --> 1492.38] Yeah,
|
| [1492.46 --> 1492.68] I mean,
|
| [1492.68 --> 1493.32] it will have access
|
| [1493.32 --> 1494.24] to any of the data
|
| [1494.24 --> 1495.02] that the container
|
| [1495.02 --> 1495.78] has access to
|
| [1495.78 --> 1496.92] which is likely
|
| [1496.92 --> 1497.64] important data
|
| [1497.64 --> 1498.72] but it's contained
|
| [1498.72 --> 1499.84] to that region.
|
| [1500.06 --> 1500.94] That's inherently more safe
|
| [1500.94 --> 1501.84] than say running Apache
|
| [1501.84 --> 1502.92] or NGINX on a box
|
| [1502.92 --> 1504.02] and you pop Apache
|
| [1504.02 --> 1505.20] and now you've got
|
| [1505.20 --> 1506.08] access to anything
|
| [1506.08 --> 1506.98] on that host
|
| [1506.98 --> 1508.12] that Apache had access to
|
| [1508.12 --> 1509.18] which if you're lucky
|
| [1509.18 --> 1509.80] is not much
|
| [1509.80 --> 1511.22] but sometimes
|
| [1511.22 --> 1511.74] is way more
|
| [1511.74 --> 1512.30] than it should be.
|
| [1512.74 --> 1513.56] So yeah,
|
| [1514.40 --> 1516.24] it's going to be different
|
| [1516.24 --> 1517.04] every time too.
|
| [1517.30 --> 1519.08] There's not a one-size-fits-all solution.
|
| [1519.24 --> 1520.50] It's trying to make sure
|
| [1520.50 --> 1521.18] you're secure
|
| [1521.18 --> 1522.24] and monitoring
|
| [1522.24 --> 1523.74] in multiple locations.
|
| [1524.96 --> 1526.30] We got a lot of email
|
| [1526.30 --> 1527.98] about people's Wi-Fi systems.
|
| [1528.10 --> 1528.72] We got some people
|
| [1528.72 --> 1529.80] who love mesh setups,
|
| [1530.26 --> 1531.24] some people who hate
|
| [1531.24 --> 1532.16] mesh setups
|
| [1532.16 --> 1533.62] but we got one email
|
| [1533.62 --> 1534.56] in about a
|
| [1534.56 --> 1536.54] free mesh wireless solution.
|
| [1536.78 --> 1537.16] It's at
|
| [1537.16 --> 1538.74] freemeshwireless.com.
|
| [1539.14 --> 1540.12] It's an open source package
|
| [1540.12 --> 1541.18] that you load
|
| [1541.18 --> 1541.80] onto hardware
|
| [1541.80 --> 1543.54] and then we got some people
|
| [1543.54 --> 1544.34] that said don't do it.
|
| [1544.44 --> 1546.22] Just deploy multiple APs.
|
| [1546.36 --> 1547.34] So I'm still collecting
|
| [1547.34 --> 1548.20] information
|
| [1548.20 --> 1549.00] and taking it all in
|
| [1549.00 --> 1550.02] and I got a few devices
|
| [1550.02 --> 1550.90] to research too
|
| [1550.90 --> 1552.10] so I wanted to say
|
| [1552.10 --> 1552.76] thank you to everybody
|
| [1552.76 --> 1553.80] who sent in suggestions
|
| [1553.80 --> 1555.12] for different Wi-Fi setups.
|
| [1555.66 --> 1555.96] Wow,
|
| [1556.54 --> 1557.50] there's a lot out there
|
| [1557.50 --> 1558.40] including some of you
|
| [1558.40 --> 1558.72] who said,
|
| [1558.78 --> 1559.08] you know what,
|
| [1559.10 --> 1560.02] just stick with Unify.
|
| [1560.20 --> 1560.64] It's fine.
|
| [1560.96 --> 1561.40] It's fine.
|
| [1561.40 --> 1562.34] Well, okay,
|
| [1562.34 --> 1562.84] just one guy.
|
| [1564.52 --> 1565.46] And several folks,
|
| [1565.58 --> 1565.78] Brent,
|
| [1565.86 --> 1566.76] were happy with your
|
| [1566.76 --> 1567.82] recommendation of checking
|
| [1567.82 --> 1568.72] out Microtik.
|
| [1568.98 --> 1569.90] It's almost like I know
|
| [1569.90 --> 1570.30] something.
|
| [1572.92 --> 1574.14] At the meetup in Denver,
|
| [1574.32 --> 1575.54] several of you let me know
|
| [1575.54 --> 1577.64] that you are massive fans
|
| [1577.64 --> 1579.02] of cloudfree.shop
|
| [1579.02 --> 1580.00] and they are sponsoring
|
| [1580.00 --> 1580.82] today's episode.
|
| [1581.28 --> 1582.28] Use the coupon code
|
| [1582.28 --> 1583.04] self-hosted
|
| [1583.04 --> 1584.16] and get a dollar off
|
| [1584.16 --> 1585.14] one of their new version
|
| [1585.14 --> 1586.36] two smart plugs
|
| [1586.36 --> 1587.32] with energy monitoring
|
| [1587.32 --> 1587.88] built in.
|
| [1587.88 --> 1589.10] Also,
|
| [1589.54 --> 1590.50] those of you in the UK
|
| [1590.50 --> 1591.54] who have let me know
|
| [1591.54 --> 1592.52] that you wish
|
| [1592.52 --> 1593.48] that cloudfree.shop
|
| [1593.48 --> 1594.32] shipped to the UK,
|
| [1594.66 --> 1594.82] well,
|
| [1594.98 --> 1595.80] good news!
|
| [1596.56 --> 1597.60] Mylocalbytes.com
|
| [1597.60 --> 1598.74] have launched in the UK
|
| [1598.74 --> 1600.60] offering a very similar thing.
|
| [1601.00 --> 1602.10] You can use the coupon code
|
| [1602.10 --> 1602.68] self-hosted
|
| [1602.68 --> 1604.04] at both cloudfree.shop
|
| [1604.04 --> 1605.74] and mylocalbytes.com
|
| [1605.74 --> 1607.04] to get a dollar
|
| [1607.04 --> 1607.70] or a pound
|
| [1607.70 --> 1609.46] off each smart plug.
|
| [1609.86 --> 1610.62] Both of these stores
|
| [1610.62 --> 1611.40] are owned
|
| [1611.40 --> 1612.08] and operated
|
| [1612.08 --> 1613.64] by a couple of our listeners,
|
| [1613.64 --> 1614.96] so head over there,
|
| [1615.06 --> 1615.80] support the community
|
| [1615.80 --> 1617.00] and check out
|
| [1617.00 --> 1618.02] their cool stuff.
|
| [1619.80 --> 1621.28] We had a lot of emails
|
| [1621.28 --> 1623.36] in regards to de-googling
|
| [1623.36 --> 1625.02] and it really ran
|
| [1625.02 --> 1625.96] the whole spectrum.
|
| [1626.12 --> 1626.52] We're going to try
|
| [1626.52 --> 1628.38] to get to some of them,
|
| [1628.88 --> 1629.76] but legitimately,
|
| [1630.04 --> 1630.16] Brett,
|
| [1630.20 --> 1630.84] you saw the list.
|
| [1630.92 --> 1631.56] There's just no way
|
| [1631.56 --> 1632.00] we could read
|
| [1632.00 --> 1632.64] all those emails.
|
| [1633.06 --> 1633.24] Yeah,
|
| [1633.30 --> 1633.86] you gave me
|
| [1633.86 --> 1634.82] a little sneak peek
|
| [1634.82 --> 1635.72] at just the number
|
| [1635.72 --> 1637.06] of the sheer number of emails.
|
| [1637.08 --> 1637.50] I just scrolled
|
| [1637.50 --> 1638.16] through the list.
|
| [1638.44 --> 1638.46] Oh,
|
| [1638.58 --> 1639.38] we did our best,
|
| [1639.64 --> 1640.06] but we've...
|
| [1640.06 --> 1640.88] It's a lot of email.
|
| [1641.36 --> 1641.62] Yeah,
|
| [1642.36 --> 1643.10] but Dustin was one
|
| [1643.10 --> 1644.40] of the first to write in
|
| [1644.40 --> 1645.40] and Dustin was at
|
| [1645.40 --> 1646.00] the Boise meetup
|
| [1646.00 --> 1646.36] with us,
|
| [1646.44 --> 1646.60] Brent.
|
| [1647.16 --> 1647.56] He says,
|
| [1647.62 --> 1648.60] on today's self-hosted,
|
| [1648.62 --> 1649.16] you guys talked
|
| [1649.16 --> 1649.98] about de-googling.
|
| [1650.44 --> 1651.38] This is my journey
|
| [1651.38 --> 1651.94] and it has been
|
| [1651.94 --> 1652.70] for two years
|
| [1652.70 --> 1653.12] and I'd say I'm
|
| [1653.12 --> 1654.24] about 90%
|
| [1654.24 --> 1655.44] of the way there.
|
| [1655.92 --> 1656.48] Dustin goes on
|
| [1656.48 --> 1656.64] to say,
|
| [1656.72 --> 1657.28] this includes
|
| [1657.28 --> 1658.18] replacing G Suite
|
| [1658.18 --> 1658.94] for my podcast
|
| [1658.94 --> 1659.86] and I've also gone
|
| [1659.86 --> 1660.46] with the model
|
| [1660.46 --> 1661.52] of self-hosting
|
| [1661.52 --> 1662.24] when it makes sense.
|
| [1662.68 --> 1663.50] So here's what he's done.
|
| [1663.60 --> 1664.00] For mail,
|
| [1664.12 --> 1664.48] contacts,
|
| [1664.56 --> 1665.14] and calendar,
|
| [1665.56 --> 1666.06] he switched
|
| [1666.06 --> 1666.78] from G Suite
|
| [1666.78 --> 1667.68] to Fastmail.
|
| [1668.08 --> 1669.48] For notes and docs,
|
| [1669.54 --> 1670.70] he's using Joplin,
|
| [1671.30 --> 1672.12] using Nextcloud
|
| [1672.12 --> 1672.70] to sync it,
|
| [1673.10 --> 1674.30] for photo sync,
|
| [1674.36 --> 1675.26] he's using Nextcloud.
|
| [1675.62 --> 1676.28] For his phone,
|
| [1676.36 --> 1676.78] he's gone with
|
| [1676.78 --> 1677.96] the iPhone SE 2020,
|
| [1678.26 --> 1678.80] so he's not dealing
|
| [1678.80 --> 1679.44] with Google there.
|
| [1679.90 --> 1680.44] For DNS,
|
| [1680.72 --> 1681.78] he's using NextDNS.
|
| [1681.86 --> 1682.50] We got another vote
|
| [1682.50 --> 1683.56] for NextDNS as well.
|
| [1684.10 --> 1684.98] For maps,
|
| [1685.34 --> 1686.32] he's using a combination
|
| [1686.32 --> 1687.36] of Apple Maps
|
| [1687.36 --> 1689.02] and the OpenStreetMaps
|
| [1689.02 --> 1690.46] app on the App Store.
|
| [1690.98 --> 1691.82] And for the browser,
|
| [1691.98 --> 1692.50] he's sticking with
|
| [1692.50 --> 1693.56] Firefox and Safari.
|
| [1694.28 --> 1695.30] And for his Chromebook,
|
| [1695.40 --> 1695.52] well,
|
| [1695.54 --> 1696.32] he's replaced that
|
| [1696.32 --> 1698.04] with the ThinkPad X260
|
| [1698.04 --> 1698.62] with Arch
|
| [1698.62 --> 1699.88] and now Fedora on there.
|
| [1700.10 --> 1700.96] He's still working
|
| [1700.96 --> 1701.74] on the home assistance.
|
| [1701.74 --> 1702.54] He's going to maybe
|
| [1702.54 --> 1703.60] consider the HomePods
|
| [1703.60 --> 1705.26] and look at Mycroft.
|
| [1705.58 --> 1705.92] He says,
|
| [1706.00 --> 1706.56] Google Photos
|
| [1706.56 --> 1707.20] has been working great
|
| [1707.20 --> 1708.04] for my wife,
|
| [1708.30 --> 1709.70] but I'm not using it.
|
| [1710.12 --> 1711.04] And he's using
|
| [1711.04 --> 1711.68] FreeTube
|
| [1711.68 --> 1713.50] to bypass YouTube,
|
| [1713.50 --> 1714.36] but it has been
|
| [1714.36 --> 1715.10] a bit of a challenge,
|
| [1715.18 --> 1715.58] I suspect.
|
| [1716.28 --> 1717.40] Some good tips there,
|
| [1717.48 --> 1719.04] although Fastmail
|
| [1719.04 --> 1720.76] isn't self-hosting.
|
| [1720.84 --> 1721.34] It is,
|
| [1721.54 --> 1721.80] you know,
|
| [1721.80 --> 1722.88] having somebody else host it.
|
| [1722.90 --> 1723.28] But if you're going
|
| [1723.28 --> 1724.08] to have somebody host something,
|
| [1724.20 --> 1725.54] email's a good one to do.
|
| [1726.22 --> 1727.32] Don't really do.
|
| [1727.66 --> 1728.22] Don't do.
|
| [1728.50 --> 1729.38] Don't do email.
|
| [1730.48 --> 1731.10] What I noticed
|
| [1731.10 --> 1731.78] from that feedback
|
| [1731.78 --> 1732.82] is that it took him,
|
| [1733.44 --> 1733.66] well,
|
| [1733.98 --> 1735.06] he's on a two-year journey.
|
| [1735.50 --> 1735.98] And so,
|
| [1736.24 --> 1736.52] gentlemen,
|
| [1736.86 --> 1738.42] what does that tell you
|
| [1738.42 --> 1739.62] about what you've just got on?
|
| [1739.86 --> 1741.50] That Alex has really,
|
| [1741.60 --> 1742.34] really gotten us
|
| [1742.34 --> 1742.82] into something.
|
| [1742.94 --> 1743.58] What have I done?
|
| [1744.08 --> 1745.42] I've opened Pandora's box
|
| [1745.42 --> 1745.66] here,
|
| [1745.74 --> 1746.02] aren't I?
|
| [1747.32 --> 1747.76] Oh,
|
| [1747.76 --> 1748.36] man.
|
| [1749.48 --> 1750.06] All right.
|
| [1750.16 --> 1750.36] So,
|
| [1750.46 --> 1751.18] Carson and others
|
| [1751.18 --> 1752.52] wrote in about maps.
|
| [1752.68 --> 1753.24] Carson says
|
| [1753.24 --> 1754.52] he settled on HereMaps
|
| [1754.52 --> 1755.34] as a replacement,
|
| [1755.54 --> 1756.80] wego.here.com.
|
| [1756.80 --> 1758.22] A lot of people wrote in
|
| [1758.22 --> 1759.16] about open street maps.
|
| [1759.32 --> 1759.42] Brent,
|
| [1759.48 --> 1760.40] that's what you use?
|
| [1760.76 --> 1760.94] Yeah,
|
| [1761.02 --> 1762.50] that's what I have been using
|
| [1762.50 --> 1763.58] until all these suggestions
|
| [1763.58 --> 1764.18] came in.
|
| [1764.40 --> 1765.16] And I,
|
| [1765.78 --> 1766.10] well,
|
| [1766.76 --> 1767.76] maybe I'll keep that
|
| [1767.76 --> 1768.52] until we talk about
|
| [1768.52 --> 1769.60] the maps a little bit more.
|
| [1769.78 --> 1769.90] Well,
|
| [1769.92 --> 1770.56] I want to talk about it
|
| [1770.56 --> 1771.22] right now because
|
| [1771.22 --> 1772.52] that's the route
|
| [1772.52 --> 1773.34] I decided to go
|
| [1773.34 --> 1774.00] during a
|
| [1774.00 --> 1775.50] freaking road trip.
|
| [1775.76 --> 1776.96] And I even really
|
| [1776.96 --> 1778.12] briefly tried Waze,
|
| [1778.20 --> 1778.62] even though I know
|
| [1778.62 --> 1779.18] it's owned by Google,
|
| [1779.22 --> 1779.76] I just wanted to
|
| [1779.76 --> 1780.66] just do a comparison.
|
| [1781.04 --> 1781.92] And Waze actually
|
| [1781.92 --> 1782.98] screwed us up the worst
|
| [1782.98 --> 1783.88] out of all of them
|
| [1783.88 --> 1785.12] during the middle
|
| [1785.12 --> 1786.26] of Denver rush hour.
|
| [1786.26 --> 1787.00] It had me get off
|
| [1787.00 --> 1787.46] the highway
|
| [1787.46 --> 1788.76] to bypass the traffic.
|
| [1789.18 --> 1789.88] And then I got off
|
| [1789.88 --> 1790.18] the highway
|
| [1790.18 --> 1790.74] and I was stuck
|
| [1790.74 --> 1791.38] in more traffic.
|
| [1791.54 --> 1792.00] And then it did
|
| [1792.00 --> 1792.70] a quick update
|
| [1792.70 --> 1793.04] and it said,
|
| [1793.20 --> 1793.76] get on the highway.
|
| [1794.28 --> 1794.36] Yeah,
|
| [1794.42 --> 1795.18] it felt to me
|
| [1795.18 --> 1796.28] like an attempt
|
| [1796.28 --> 1797.58] at a Dukes of Hazzard
|
| [1797.58 --> 1799.04] style walk around
|
| [1799.04 --> 1799.70] the traffic,
|
| [1800.04 --> 1801.26] but it didn't work
|
| [1801.26 --> 1802.04] out too well for us.
|
| [1802.88 --> 1803.28] Oh,
|
| [1803.52 --> 1803.88] goodness.
|
| [1804.30 --> 1804.80] So I know
|
| [1804.80 --> 1805.24] a lot of you
|
| [1805.24 --> 1806.02] wrote in with
|
| [1806.02 --> 1807.26] the apps that you love
|
| [1807.26 --> 1808.22] and I tried them
|
| [1808.22 --> 1809.64] and boy,
|
| [1809.70 --> 1810.30] do they stink.
|
| [1810.44 --> 1811.08] Magic Earth
|
| [1811.08 --> 1812.16] was one that I liked
|
| [1812.16 --> 1813.82] and that uses
|
| [1813.82 --> 1814.64] open street maps
|
| [1814.64 --> 1816.04] with a proprietary GUI
|
| [1816.04 --> 1816.70] on top,
|
| [1816.88 --> 1817.68] Magic Earth,
|
| [1818.02 --> 1818.40] have a link
|
| [1818.40 --> 1819.22] in the show notes.
|
| [1820.12 --> 1822.28] But they all have
|
| [1822.28 --> 1823.52] one critical flaw.
|
| [1823.70 --> 1824.44] Even Apple Maps
|
| [1824.44 --> 1825.44] has this critical flaw
|
| [1825.44 --> 1826.62] and it's search.
|
| [1827.88 --> 1828.68] For example,
|
| [1828.78 --> 1829.80] I'm here in Colorado Springs
|
| [1829.80 --> 1830.82] and I searched
|
| [1830.82 --> 1831.66] for Pikes Peak,
|
| [1831.78 --> 1833.52] which is a very popular
|
| [1833.52 --> 1834.38] tourist destination.
|
| [1835.56 --> 1836.82] Apple Maps sent me
|
| [1836.82 --> 1838.36] in the wrong direction.
|
| [1838.46 --> 1838.80] They sent me
|
| [1838.80 --> 1839.80] to some like business
|
| [1839.80 --> 1840.42] that was named
|
| [1840.42 --> 1841.08] Pikes Peak
|
| [1841.08 --> 1841.84] that was like
|
| [1841.84 --> 1842.90] 10 miles
|
| [1842.90 --> 1843.66] in the wrong direction,
|
| [1843.96 --> 1845.42] literally the opposite direction.
|
| [1846.86 --> 1848.20] The Magic Earth
|
| [1848.20 --> 1849.40] using open street maps
|
| [1849.40 --> 1850.50] wanted to send me
|
| [1850.50 --> 1851.22] to a location
|
| [1851.22 --> 1852.78] 5,200 miles away
|
| [1852.78 --> 1853.88] from my current location.
|
| [1854.44 --> 1855.64] I was 25,
|
| [1855.84 --> 1856.50] 30 minutes away
|
| [1856.50 --> 1857.08] when I started
|
| [1857.08 --> 1857.90] from Pikes Peak
|
| [1857.90 --> 1858.78] and after I was done
|
| [1858.78 --> 1859.22] trying to use
|
| [1859.22 --> 1860.02] these other nav apps,
|
| [1860.14 --> 1861.42] I ended up an hour away
|
| [1861.42 --> 1863.24] and I was really bad.
|
| [1864.00 --> 1864.44] Eventually,
|
| [1864.56 --> 1865.00] what happened
|
| [1865.00 --> 1866.00] is my wife
|
| [1866.00 --> 1866.56] looked it up
|
| [1866.56 --> 1867.20] on her phone
|
| [1867.20 --> 1867.98] on Google Maps
|
| [1867.98 --> 1870.08] and got an address
|
| [1870.08 --> 1871.44] and then telegrammed it to me
|
| [1871.44 --> 1872.22] and then I put that
|
| [1872.22 --> 1873.28] into Apple Maps
|
| [1873.28 --> 1875.48] and manually did it that way.
|
| [1875.48 --> 1875.94] You're an animal.
|
| [1876.78 --> 1877.16] Yeah,
|
| [1877.20 --> 1877.60] it was interesting
|
| [1877.60 --> 1879.12] because she kept using
|
| [1879.12 --> 1880.12] Google Maps
|
| [1880.12 --> 1880.88] during this.
|
| [1881.30 --> 1882.12] Anytime I drove
|
| [1882.12 --> 1882.90] or anytime I was looking
|
| [1882.90 --> 1883.50] anything up
|
| [1883.50 --> 1883.88] or looking,
|
| [1884.00 --> 1885.28] I used anything
|
| [1885.28 --> 1885.98] but Google Maps
|
| [1885.98 --> 1886.48] and she stuck
|
| [1886.48 --> 1886.96] with Google Maps
|
| [1886.96 --> 1887.38] so I was always
|
| [1887.38 --> 1888.20] comparing the two
|
| [1888.20 --> 1890.14] and they clearly
|
| [1890.14 --> 1891.64] have the superior
|
| [1891.64 --> 1894.02] search.
|
| [1894.72 --> 1895.16] However,
|
| [1896.32 --> 1897.00] Apple Maps
|
| [1897.00 --> 1897.86] surprised me
|
| [1897.86 --> 1898.34] and I looked
|
| [1898.34 --> 1899.10] into the privacy
|
| [1899.10 --> 1899.82] and security
|
| [1899.82 --> 1900.54] of Apple Maps
|
| [1900.54 --> 1901.24] because that was
|
| [1901.24 --> 1901.84] really what part
|
| [1901.84 --> 1902.36] of this was about
|
| [1902.36 --> 1903.38] was reducing
|
| [1903.38 --> 1904.20] my cloud footprint
|
| [1904.20 --> 1904.70] with this.
|
| [1904.98 --> 1906.28] The thing I liked
|
| [1906.28 --> 1906.94] about Apple Maps
|
| [1906.94 --> 1907.54] is surprisingly
|
| [1907.54 --> 1908.04] you don't even
|
| [1908.04 --> 1908.62] have to be signed
|
| [1908.62 --> 1909.80] into any Apple ID
|
| [1909.80 --> 1910.30] or iCloud
|
| [1910.30 --> 1910.94] to use it.
|
| [1911.52 --> 1911.92] The data
|
| [1911.92 --> 1912.86] that they do collect
|
| [1912.86 --> 1913.84] is associated
|
| [1913.84 --> 1914.60] with a randomly
|
| [1914.60 --> 1915.68] generated identifier.
|
| [1915.96 --> 1916.46] They reset
|
| [1916.46 --> 1917.66] like every few minutes
|
| [1917.66 --> 1919.06] and it is not tied
|
| [1919.06 --> 1919.68] to your Apple ID.
|
| [1920.42 --> 1921.34] They convert
|
| [1921.34 --> 1922.64] precise locations
|
| [1922.64 --> 1924.22] into less exact locations
|
| [1924.22 --> 1925.34] before they store them
|
| [1925.34 --> 1926.46] and then they apply
|
| [1926.46 --> 1927.34] that to your current
|
| [1927.34 --> 1928.02] device location
|
| [1928.02 --> 1928.58] information
|
| [1928.58 --> 1929.16] and origin
|
| [1929.16 --> 1930.68] within 24 hours
|
| [1930.68 --> 1933.24] and any of the
|
| [1933.24 --> 1934.32] personalized features
|
| [1934.32 --> 1935.56] like where your car
|
| [1935.56 --> 1936.08] is parked
|
| [1936.08 --> 1937.26] or suggested
|
| [1937.26 --> 1938.54] departure times
|
| [1938.54 --> 1940.52] your favorite locations
|
| [1940.52 --> 1942.06] any of that kind
|
| [1942.06 --> 1942.36] of stuff
|
| [1942.36 --> 1943.04] that you generate
|
| [1943.04 --> 1944.18] it's all stored
|
| [1944.18 --> 1944.70] on device.
|
| [1944.82 --> 1945.52] They don't send it up
|
| [1945.52 --> 1946.14] to the Apple servers
|
| [1946.14 --> 1946.42] at all.
|
| [1947.24 --> 1947.66] It seems to me
|
| [1947.66 --> 1948.28] the way they've
|
| [1948.28 --> 1949.04] defined how
|
| [1949.04 --> 1950.00] Apple Maps works
|
| [1950.00 --> 1951.24] is sort of
|
| [1951.24 --> 1951.90] their privacy
|
| [1951.90 --> 1952.96] first approach
|
| [1952.96 --> 1954.08] that they've been
|
| [1954.08 --> 1955.00] sharing
|
| [1955.00 --> 1956.26] throughout the years.
|
| [1956.50 --> 1956.66] Yeah.
|
| [1956.78 --> 1957.40] I'm not going to say
|
| [1957.40 --> 1958.02] it's perfect.
|
| [1958.26 --> 1958.98] But it feels like
|
| [1958.98 --> 1960.00] they got most of it right
|
| [1960.00 --> 1961.54] considering all of the
|
| [1961.54 --> 1962.76] sort of technical stuff
|
| [1962.76 --> 1963.66] that has to happen
|
| [1963.66 --> 1964.60] to get you around
|
| [1964.60 --> 1965.58] on a Maps app.
|
| [1965.76 --> 1967.82] Or another way
|
| [1967.82 --> 1969.18] is it feels like
|
| [1969.18 --> 1970.04] they designed a product
|
| [1970.04 --> 1971.40] to say screw you
|
| [1971.40 --> 1971.82] to Google
|
| [1971.82 --> 1972.84] on data collection
|
| [1972.84 --> 1973.56] and stuff like that.
|
| [1973.62 --> 1974.14] And did it work?
|
| [1974.54 --> 1974.76] Well,
|
| [1974.94 --> 1976.26] the display
|
| [1976.26 --> 1977.28] is probably the best.
|
| [1977.36 --> 1977.82] The other thing
|
| [1977.82 --> 1978.18] that I found
|
| [1978.18 --> 1979.20] surprisingly good
|
| [1979.20 --> 1981.48] is the voice routing.
|
| [1981.82 --> 1983.42] It has really good
|
| [1983.42 --> 1983.82] clear,
|
| [1983.98 --> 1984.94] like very clear
|
| [1984.94 --> 1985.58] about which lane
|
| [1985.58 --> 1986.02] to be in,
|
| [1986.10 --> 1986.98] which isn't too uncommon.
|
| [1987.72 --> 1989.32] And it's very clear
|
| [1989.32 --> 1990.44] about intersections.
|
| [1990.78 --> 1992.10] And here in the
|
| [1992.10 --> 1993.28] Colorado-Denver area,
|
| [1993.46 --> 1994.78] they stack the intersections.
|
| [1995.16 --> 1996.46] So you drive
|
| [1996.46 --> 1997.12] through an intersection
|
| [1997.12 --> 1998.56] and then three
|
| [1998.56 --> 1999.44] or four car lengths
|
| [1999.44 --> 1999.78] later,
|
| [1999.88 --> 2001.24] there is another intersection.
|
| [2001.88 --> 2002.54] And so when you look
|
| [2002.54 --> 2003.14] on a map,
|
| [2003.26 --> 2004.04] you're not really sure
|
| [2004.04 --> 2004.72] like what light
|
| [2004.72 --> 2005.36] to turn on.
|
| [2005.52 --> 2006.96] And the voice prompt
|
| [2006.96 --> 2007.70] is very clear.
|
| [2007.80 --> 2008.26] It'll say,
|
| [2008.26 --> 2009.96] go through this light
|
| [2009.96 --> 2011.06] and at the next light,
|
| [2011.52 --> 2012.12] take a left,
|
| [2012.38 --> 2013.38] be in the middle lane.
|
| [2014.06 --> 2014.88] And when you're,
|
| [2014.88 --> 2015.50] when you're new
|
| [2015.50 --> 2016.40] to an area
|
| [2016.40 --> 2017.08] and it's dark
|
| [2017.08 --> 2018.18] and you're coming up
|
| [2018.18 --> 2018.96] on two intersections
|
| [2018.96 --> 2019.40] and you know
|
| [2019.40 --> 2020.42] you've got a left turn
|
| [2020.42 --> 2021.50] or a right turn,
|
| [2021.64 --> 2022.66] that kind of clarity
|
| [2022.66 --> 2024.52] just makes it low stress.
|
| [2024.62 --> 2025.28] Then additionally,
|
| [2025.52 --> 2026.76] they tie in with the watch
|
| [2026.76 --> 2027.78] so it taps your arm
|
| [2027.78 --> 2028.92] when you need to turn.
|
| [2029.36 --> 2030.62] And when you were driving,
|
| [2031.00 --> 2031.68] I was able to just
|
| [2031.68 --> 2032.36] look at my watch
|
| [2032.36 --> 2032.78] and tell you
|
| [2032.78 --> 2033.62] what the next turn is.
|
| [2033.84 --> 2033.92] Yeah,
|
| [2033.96 --> 2034.64] that was really handy.
|
| [2034.92 --> 2036.36] I will admit that
|
| [2036.36 --> 2037.56] halfway through the trip,
|
| [2037.56 --> 2038.46] I kind of gave up
|
| [2038.46 --> 2039.12] on my phone
|
| [2039.12 --> 2040.30] and my map app
|
| [2040.30 --> 2040.74] because,
|
| [2041.08 --> 2041.18] well,
|
| [2041.22 --> 2041.82] we were doing this,
|
| [2041.86 --> 2042.52] this experiment
|
| [2042.52 --> 2044.84] and my methods
|
| [2044.84 --> 2045.32] were failing.
|
| [2045.70 --> 2047.30] So you were in the nav seat
|
| [2047.30 --> 2048.42] and you were helping me out
|
| [2048.42 --> 2049.22] and that actually
|
| [2049.22 --> 2049.92] worked out all right.
|
| [2050.16 --> 2050.54] I think I'm going
|
| [2050.54 --> 2051.14] to stick with it.
|
| [2051.34 --> 2052.14] I don't think I'm after the,
|
| [2052.26 --> 2052.46] I mean,
|
| [2052.48 --> 2053.38] I said I'd do it for two weeks
|
| [2053.38 --> 2053.82] and I think I'm going
|
| [2053.82 --> 2054.48] to stick with it.
|
| [2055.20 --> 2055.86] I'll let my,
|
| [2055.98 --> 2056.14] you know,
|
| [2056.18 --> 2056.90] my wife will still have
|
| [2056.90 --> 2057.80] Google Maps as a backup,
|
| [2058.08 --> 2058.76] but for me,
|
| [2059.16 --> 2060.22] I'm uninstalling Google Maps
|
| [2060.22 --> 2060.64] off the phone.
|
| [2061.26 --> 2061.58] Wow.
|
| [2061.80 --> 2061.92] Yeah.
|
| [2061.92 --> 2063.14] So that's quite a success.
|
| [2063.34 --> 2063.52] Yeah.
|
| [2063.58 --> 2064.92] It's not open street maps,
|
| [2065.14 --> 2066.12] although I am playing
|
| [2066.12 --> 2066.74] with those still
|
| [2066.74 --> 2067.58] and I do really like
|
| [2067.58 --> 2068.28] the way Magic Earth
|
| [2068.28 --> 2069.18] displays things.
|
| [2069.76 --> 2070.96] So for some circumstances,
|
| [2070.96 --> 2071.68] like if I already know
|
| [2071.68 --> 2072.30] the address
|
| [2072.30 --> 2073.28] and I'm not searching
|
| [2073.28 --> 2073.92] up something,
|
| [2074.66 --> 2075.88] they may have a place still.
|
| [2076.24 --> 2077.62] But I,
|
| [2077.70 --> 2078.28] I was,
|
| [2078.46 --> 2079.42] I was pretty impressed.
|
| [2080.20 --> 2080.76] You know,
|
| [2080.82 --> 2081.76] if you only could have
|
| [2081.76 --> 2082.24] one app
|
| [2082.24 --> 2083.82] and you didn't care
|
| [2083.82 --> 2084.80] about Google tracking you,
|
| [2085.20 --> 2086.26] I'd probably still suggest
|
| [2086.26 --> 2086.98] you use Google Maps.
|
| [2087.84 --> 2088.40] You know,
|
| [2088.52 --> 2088.78] I,
|
| [2088.96 --> 2089.40] for the trip,
|
| [2089.48 --> 2091.18] used the same app
|
| [2091.18 --> 2091.86] that I've been using
|
| [2091.86 --> 2093.24] for probably the last two years
|
| [2093.24 --> 2094.36] since I've tried this
|
| [2094.36 --> 2095.58] de-googling a while ago,
|
| [2096.06 --> 2098.06] mostly successfully.
|
| [2098.58 --> 2100.14] And so I'm on Android
|
| [2100.14 --> 2100.92] and I've been using
|
| [2100.92 --> 2102.38] OpenStreetMap,
|
| [2102.46 --> 2103.44] the OSM,
|
| [2103.60 --> 2104.46] and plus.
|
| [2105.64 --> 2106.32] There are things
|
| [2106.32 --> 2106.94] I love about it
|
| [2106.94 --> 2107.88] and things I hate about it.
|
| [2108.32 --> 2109.14] The one thing,
|
| [2109.22 --> 2110.20] you mentioned search.
|
| [2110.72 --> 2112.22] I find it's great
|
| [2112.22 --> 2113.28] if you know
|
| [2113.28 --> 2114.00] approximately
|
| [2114.00 --> 2114.84] where you want to go.
|
| [2115.00 --> 2115.70] If you're trying to find
|
| [2115.70 --> 2116.70] an exact business
|
| [2116.70 --> 2117.82] or even
|
| [2117.82 --> 2119.06] an exact address
|
| [2119.06 --> 2120.46] on a popular street,
|
| [2120.92 --> 2122.86] it's not necessarily
|
| [2122.86 --> 2123.46] going to have it.
|
| [2123.52 --> 2124.26] It might have some
|
| [2124.26 --> 2125.16] of the street numbers,
|
| [2125.60 --> 2126.76] but certainly not all of them.
|
| [2126.82 --> 2127.68] I found that to be
|
| [2127.68 --> 2128.52] a little bit frustrating,
|
| [2128.80 --> 2129.02] but
|
| [2129.02 --> 2131.40] it gets me there.
|
| [2132.06 --> 2132.88] I will say
|
| [2132.88 --> 2133.84] 90% of the time
|
| [2133.84 --> 2134.52] it works for me,
|
| [2134.60 --> 2135.82] but I like getting lost
|
| [2135.82 --> 2136.60] in new cities,
|
| [2136.76 --> 2137.58] so maybe that's
|
| [2137.58 --> 2138.44] a unique approach.
|
| [2138.86 --> 2139.48] Well, there's that
|
| [2139.48 --> 2140.34] if you don't mind getting lost.
|
| [2140.42 --> 2141.00] That's a feature.
|
| [2141.42 --> 2142.16] Yeah, for Brent.
|
| [2142.64 --> 2143.48] The thing I liked
|
| [2143.48 --> 2144.58] about the OpenStreetMaps app
|
| [2144.58 --> 2145.56] is that you could download
|
| [2145.56 --> 2146.52] your maps offline.
|
| [2146.70 --> 2147.24] Hold on a minute.
|
| [2147.50 --> 2148.04] Hold on a minute.
|
| [2148.96 --> 2149.68] OSM and Plus
|
| [2149.68 --> 2150.84] is $25.
|
| [2152.04 --> 2152.74] That's quite a lot,
|
| [2152.80 --> 2153.06] isn't it,
|
| [2153.06 --> 2153.46] for an app?
|
| [2153.76 --> 2154.20] Well, you know,
|
| [2154.30 --> 2156.42] it's not $25 for me
|
| [2156.42 --> 2157.26] when I get it from
|
| [2157.26 --> 2157.96] F-Droid.
|
| [2158.62 --> 2159.78] Ah, there you go,
|
| [2159.82 --> 2160.12] you see.
|
| [2161.70 --> 2162.44] I've been using
|
| [2162.44 --> 2163.04] ViewRanger
|
| [2163.04 --> 2164.40] for quite a number
|
| [2164.40 --> 2164.72] of years.
|
| [2164.78 --> 2165.68] Whenever I take a hike
|
| [2165.68 --> 2166.50] or something like that,
|
| [2166.60 --> 2166.88] I actually,
|
| [2167.14 --> 2168.24] this is a very
|
| [2168.24 --> 2169.12] long-term usage
|
| [2169.12 --> 2169.62] for me
|
| [2169.62 --> 2170.92] from back
|
| [2170.92 --> 2171.58] when I lived in England.
|
| [2171.58 --> 2173.52] It supports things
|
| [2173.52 --> 2174.76] like Ordnance Survey Maps
|
| [2174.76 --> 2175.66] and you can download
|
| [2175.66 --> 2177.16] US Geological Survey Maps.
|
| [2177.26 --> 2178.02] You can buy them
|
| [2178.02 --> 2179.58] and actually buy the tiles
|
| [2179.58 --> 2181.00] directly in ViewRanger.
|
| [2181.54 --> 2182.78] They're changing their name
|
| [2182.78 --> 2184.10] to Outdoor Active
|
| [2184.10 --> 2185.96] so you can find them
|
| [2185.96 --> 2186.92] at ViewRanger.com.
|
| [2187.22 --> 2188.20] I've found that one
|
| [2188.20 --> 2188.62] pretty good.
|
| [2189.18 --> 2190.02] Brent there mentioned
|
| [2190.02 --> 2190.70] F-Droid.
|
| [2191.16 --> 2192.44] We got several people,
|
| [2192.62 --> 2193.42] including Ross,
|
| [2193.48 --> 2194.36] who wrote in and said,
|
| [2194.48 --> 2195.58] I like the Aurora Store.
|
| [2196.00 --> 2196.68] It's an alternative
|
| [2196.68 --> 2197.90] front-end for Google Play
|
| [2197.90 --> 2199.14] which keeps your data away
|
| [2199.14 --> 2200.08] while giving you access
|
| [2200.08 --> 2200.78] to those apps
|
| [2200.78 --> 2201.54] that are exclusive.
|
| [2202.98 --> 2203.46] He's like,
|
| [2203.50 --> 2203.98] that's the only way
|
| [2203.98 --> 2205.08] I could get the Starlink app.
|
| [2205.96 --> 2206.64] I will admit,
|
| [2206.78 --> 2208.24] I have Aurora Droid installed
|
| [2208.24 --> 2209.00] and I prefer it
|
| [2209.00 --> 2209.48] over F-Droid
|
| [2209.48 --> 2210.50] most of the time.
|
| [2210.80 --> 2211.16] It has a few
|
| [2211.16 --> 2211.92] little tiny bugs,
|
| [2212.04 --> 2212.58] but I didn't know
|
| [2212.58 --> 2213.28] that was a feature,
|
| [2213.46 --> 2214.20] so that's great to hear.
|
| [2214.62 --> 2215.80] Ross says that he switched
|
| [2215.80 --> 2217.14] to ProtonMail from Gmail
|
| [2217.14 --> 2218.66] and I've used ProtonMail
|
| [2218.66 --> 2219.48] and I like it a lot.
|
| [2220.72 --> 2221.68] So there's something there.
|
| [2222.46 --> 2223.30] There was also,
|
| [2223.56 --> 2224.90] a lot of people wrote in
|
| [2224.90 --> 2225.88] about their different approaches
|
| [2225.88 --> 2226.94] to contact syncing
|
| [2226.94 --> 2227.76] and Brent,
|
| [2227.80 --> 2228.30] did you cover
|
| [2228.30 --> 2229.06] in last week's episode
|
| [2229.06 --> 2229.60] how you do that?
|
| [2229.78 --> 2230.32] I think I did,
|
| [2230.38 --> 2231.00] but I'll do it again.
|
| [2231.34 --> 2232.30] I'm using NextCloud
|
| [2232.30 --> 2233.08] for contact syncing
|
| [2233.08 --> 2234.16] and I've found that
|
| [2234.16 --> 2235.50] to be pretty bulletproof actually.
|
| [2235.66 --> 2236.66] I was worried at first
|
| [2236.66 --> 2237.82] when I did it a while ago
|
| [2237.82 --> 2239.36] because contacts
|
| [2239.36 --> 2241.44] is arguably the thing
|
| [2241.44 --> 2242.46] that's most important to me
|
| [2242.46 --> 2244.12] getting all of that right
|
| [2244.12 --> 2245.32] and it's been bulletproof.
|
| [2246.20 --> 2247.04] Well, Dale writes in,
|
| [2247.14 --> 2248.66] I just listened to episode 51
|
| [2248.66 --> 2250.46] and I think Brent mentioned
|
| [2250.46 --> 2251.12] NextCloud.
|
| [2251.54 --> 2252.46] Yes, confirmed.
|
| [2252.66 --> 2253.64] We just had that confirmed
|
| [2253.64 --> 2254.02] by Brent.
|
| [2254.10 --> 2254.44] Thank you.
|
| [2254.98 --> 2256.20] And I wondered if any of you
|
| [2256.20 --> 2258.06] have heard or used Etsy Sync,
|
| [2258.10 --> 2260.16] that's E-T-E-Sync.com.
|
| [2260.54 --> 2262.12] It's a self-hostable project
|
| [2262.12 --> 2263.24] whose value proposition
|
| [2263.24 --> 2264.18] is secure,
|
| [2264.40 --> 2265.42] end-to-end encrypted
|
| [2265.42 --> 2267.44] and privacy respecting sync
|
| [2267.44 --> 2268.20] for your contacts,
|
| [2268.42 --> 2268.84] calendars,
|
| [2269.02 --> 2270.24] tasks and notes.
|
| [2270.66 --> 2271.56] I've been using it
|
| [2271.56 --> 2272.88] for about two years now
|
| [2272.88 --> 2274.24] and more recently
|
| [2274.24 --> 2274.94] I've been using it
|
| [2274.94 --> 2275.84] on my GNOME desktop.
|
| [2275.84 --> 2276.98] I pay for them
|
| [2276.98 --> 2277.90] to manage the hosting
|
| [2277.90 --> 2278.42] and syncing
|
| [2278.42 --> 2279.30] but you could absolutely
|
| [2279.30 --> 2280.14] host it yourself.
|
| [2280.58 --> 2281.58] Highly recommend it.
|
| [2281.70 --> 2282.46] Thanks for the great show
|
| [2282.46 --> 2283.04] and all the best.
|
| [2283.30 --> 2283.52] Dale.
|
| [2284.58 --> 2285.72] E-T-E-Sync.com
|
| [2285.72 --> 2286.44] We'll have a link to that
|
| [2286.44 --> 2286.92] in the show notes.
|
| [2286.96 --> 2287.64] I looked at it
|
| [2287.64 --> 2289.00] before the show
|
| [2289.00 --> 2290.40] and it's a solution
|
| [2290.40 --> 2291.34] that really is kind of
|
| [2291.34 --> 2292.94] targeted at just
|
| [2292.94 --> 2295.02] a end-to-end
|
| [2295.02 --> 2296.40] encrypted sync
|
| [2296.40 --> 2297.82] of contact calendar
|
| [2297.82 --> 2298.48] task notes.
|
| [2298.60 --> 2299.38] Like it just solves
|
| [2299.38 --> 2300.02] that problem.
|
| [2300.20 --> 2301.26] That's what they focus on.
|
| [2301.54 --> 2302.54] And they've got apps
|
| [2302.54 --> 2303.66] in the Apple App Store,
|
| [2304.14 --> 2304.62] Google Play,
|
| [2304.62 --> 2305.72] they're on F-Droid too
|
| [2305.72 --> 2307.20] and of course
|
| [2307.20 --> 2307.88] you can get it
|
| [2307.88 --> 2308.36] on your desktop.
|
| [2308.90 --> 2310.32] It looks pretty legit actually.
|
| [2310.54 --> 2311.54] I think I just decrypted
|
| [2311.54 --> 2312.62] what their name means.
|
| [2312.76 --> 2313.48] E-to-E-Sync
|
| [2313.48 --> 2314.36] is end-to-end sync
|
| [2314.36 --> 2314.88] isn't it?
|
| [2315.08 --> 2316.74] Ah, I was wondering.
|
| [2317.08 --> 2317.42] Duh.
|
| [2318.58 --> 2319.42] It's one of those moments
|
| [2319.42 --> 2320.02] you figure it out
|
| [2320.02 --> 2320.38] and you're like
|
| [2320.38 --> 2321.48] oh I feel like a dummy now.
|
| [2323.18 --> 2324.18] You know if I could
|
| [2324.18 --> 2325.00] mention one thing
|
| [2325.00 --> 2325.80] about Nextcloud
|
| [2325.80 --> 2327.74] on Android at least
|
| [2327.74 --> 2328.66] that made it
|
| [2328.66 --> 2330.28] possible for me
|
| [2330.28 --> 2331.42] and integrates it
|
| [2331.42 --> 2332.34] at a system level
|
| [2332.34 --> 2332.94] everywhere
|
| [2332.94 --> 2334.58] is this little app
|
| [2334.58 --> 2335.68] called DevX5.
|
| [2336.06 --> 2337.46] It takes the Nextcloud
|
| [2337.46 --> 2337.96] syncing
|
| [2337.96 --> 2339.64] which is CalDev
|
| [2339.64 --> 2341.00] and CardDev
|
| [2341.00 --> 2341.96] and just
|
| [2341.96 --> 2342.70] sort of
|
| [2342.70 --> 2343.42] makes that
|
| [2343.42 --> 2343.96] available
|
| [2343.96 --> 2344.90] at a system level
|
| [2344.90 --> 2346.10] in the same exact
|
| [2346.10 --> 2346.60] places
|
| [2346.60 --> 2347.42] and ways
|
| [2347.42 --> 2348.20] that all of the
|
| [2348.20 --> 2349.08] Google stuff
|
| [2349.08 --> 2349.62] appears
|
| [2349.62 --> 2350.70] so it's just seamless.
|
| [2351.16 --> 2351.60] So that would be
|
| [2351.60 --> 2352.30] a huge recommendation
|
| [2352.30 --> 2352.88] from me.
|
| [2353.04 --> 2353.88] Say it again for me.
|
| [2355.02 --> 2355.54] DevX5
|
| [2355.54 --> 2357.06] available in F-Droid
|
| [2357.06 --> 2358.20] and maybe
|
| [2358.20 --> 2359.10] in other stores.
|
| [2359.20 --> 2359.70] Can you put a link
|
| [2359.70 --> 2360.22] in the show notes
|
| [2360.22 --> 2360.76] for us Brent?
|
| [2361.24 --> 2361.86] Oh probably.
|
| [2362.56 --> 2363.26] So what did you guys
|
| [2363.26 --> 2364.10] think of the meetup?
|
| [2364.56 --> 2365.18] It was pretty cool
|
| [2365.18 --> 2366.14] to meet some of our
|
| [2366.14 --> 2367.06] listeners huh?
|
| [2367.34 --> 2368.18] Yeah we saw
|
| [2368.18 --> 2369.16] a Chris and the Badger
|
| [2369.16 --> 2369.70] shirt there
|
| [2369.70 --> 2370.80] which was exciting
|
| [2370.80 --> 2371.24] because I hadn't
|
| [2371.24 --> 2371.86] considered that
|
| [2371.86 --> 2372.48] somebody would get
|
| [2372.48 --> 2372.96] a shirt with the
|
| [2372.96 --> 2373.54] intention of bringing
|
| [2373.54 --> 2374.08] it to the meetup.
|
| [2374.18 --> 2374.68] That was great.
|
| [2374.90 --> 2375.68] That was Optimus Grey
|
| [2375.68 --> 2376.36] rocking the Chris
|
| [2376.36 --> 2376.92] and the Badger.
|
| [2377.44 --> 2377.88] Yeah I thought
|
| [2377.88 --> 2378.52] that was super cool.
|
| [2378.62 --> 2379.28] He posed for a picture
|
| [2379.28 --> 2379.88] with us and we had
|
| [2379.88 --> 2380.44] to stand on the
|
| [2380.44 --> 2381.28] correct sides as well.
|
| [2381.38 --> 2381.72] You know I was
|
| [2381.72 --> 2382.50] on the Badger side
|
| [2382.50 --> 2382.96] and you were on
|
| [2382.96 --> 2383.56] the Chris side.
|
| [2383.84 --> 2383.98] Right.
|
| [2384.04 --> 2384.60] My daughter thought
|
| [2384.60 --> 2385.48] it was so cool
|
| [2385.48 --> 2386.10] that people wanted
|
| [2386.10 --> 2387.02] to take selfies
|
| [2387.02 --> 2387.76] with us.
|
| [2387.86 --> 2388.06] So I was like
|
| [2388.06 --> 2388.96] really that's the
|
| [2388.96 --> 2389.66] thing you think
|
| [2389.66 --> 2390.24] is cool?
|
| [2390.50 --> 2390.80] Alright.
|
| [2391.20 --> 2391.60] Okay.
|
| [2391.94 --> 2392.44] Well I thought
|
| [2392.44 --> 2393.42] the free donuts
|
| [2393.42 --> 2394.12] were pretty cool.
|
| [2394.36 --> 2395.10] Linode put on
|
| [2395.10 --> 2396.04] a heck of a show
|
| [2396.04 --> 2396.52] for us.
|
| [2396.78 --> 2397.54] Yeah you know
|
| [2397.54 --> 2398.62] Brent and I
|
| [2398.62 --> 2399.30] and Wes went
|
| [2399.30 --> 2400.30] to grab those donuts
|
| [2400.30 --> 2401.04] and that was
|
| [2401.04 --> 2401.64] quite the journey
|
| [2401.64 --> 2402.08] because it was
|
| [2402.08 --> 2403.44] 150 donuts
|
| [2403.44 --> 2404.62] and it was in
|
| [2404.62 --> 2405.50] downtown Denver
|
| [2405.50 --> 2406.80] during Friday
|
| [2406.80 --> 2407.42] rush hour.
|
| [2407.54 --> 2407.90] I don't know
|
| [2407.90 --> 2408.42] what we were
|
| [2408.42 --> 2408.80] thinking.
|
| [2409.80 --> 2410.62] And so at a
|
| [2410.62 --> 2411.16] certain point
|
| [2411.16 --> 2412.12] I saw a little
|
| [2412.12 --> 2412.86] bit of Canadian
|
| [2412.86 --> 2414.06] road rage emerge
|
| [2414.06 --> 2414.60] out of Brent
|
| [2414.60 --> 2415.44] when this truck
|
| [2415.44 --> 2416.92] Brent had gotten
|
| [2416.92 --> 2417.46] into a battle
|
| [2417.46 --> 2418.04] with a truck
|
| [2418.04 --> 2418.40] downtown
|
| [2418.40 --> 2419.86] and he had
|
| [2419.86 --> 2420.18] to kind of
|
| [2420.18 --> 2420.56] cut in front
|
| [2420.56 --> 2420.94] of the truck
|
| [2420.94 --> 2421.64] because a lane
|
| [2421.64 --> 2422.14] was ending
|
| [2422.14 --> 2422.80] and the truck
|
| [2422.80 --> 2423.54] driver never
|
| [2423.54 --> 2424.16] forgave him
|
| [2424.16 --> 2424.74] for it.
|
| [2426.00 --> 2426.72] Does Brent
|
| [2426.72 --> 2427.40] get angry?
|
| [2427.82 --> 2428.12] I mean
|
| [2428.12 --> 2428.96] disgruntled?
|
| [2429.28 --> 2430.14] I got slightly
|
| [2430.14 --> 2430.72] more aggressive
|
| [2430.72 --> 2431.42] in my driving.
|
| [2431.70 --> 2431.98] Oh wow.
|
| [2432.28 --> 2433.06] It was one
|
| [2433.06 --> 2433.82] of those situations
|
| [2433.82 --> 2434.34] where you just
|
| [2434.34 --> 2434.88] got to get over
|
| [2434.88 --> 2435.30] and you got to
|
| [2435.30 --> 2435.62] do everything
|
| [2435.62 --> 2436.10] you can
|
| [2436.10 --> 2437.06] and it wasn't
|
| [2437.06 --> 2437.60] too bad
|
| [2437.60 --> 2438.40] actually I thought
|
| [2438.40 --> 2439.52] but that truck
|
| [2439.52 --> 2440.28] decided to
|
| [2440.28 --> 2441.94] very aggressively
|
| [2441.94 --> 2442.74] pass us
|
| [2442.74 --> 2443.18] on the right
|
| [2443.18 --> 2443.78] hand side.
|
| [2443.92 --> 2444.12] You had to
|
| [2444.12 --> 2444.94] work at it too.
|
| [2445.14 --> 2445.46] Oh yeah.
|
| [2445.46 --> 2446.88] and promptly
|
| [2446.88 --> 2447.82] cut us off
|
| [2447.82 --> 2449.30] again on the
|
| [2449.30 --> 2449.70] left hand side.
|
| [2449.70 --> 2450.24] We're just trying
|
| [2450.24 --> 2450.76] to make a donut
|
| [2450.76 --> 2451.06] run.
|
| [2451.62 --> 2452.58] I don't think he
|
| [2452.58 --> 2453.22] realized what we
|
| [2453.22 --> 2453.66] were trying to
|
| [2453.66 --> 2454.08] accomplish.
|
| [2454.38 --> 2454.72] I know.
|
| [2454.96 --> 2455.28] I know.
|
| [2455.46 --> 2456.12] Hey before we go
|
| [2456.12 --> 2456.54] I want to say
