17
00:01:41.549 --> 00:01:59.000
Well, Andrews, I know you've been taking care of Yard Biz. I have. The kind of biz of Yard Biz, and you're making good progress, it sounds like. Things have really kind of... You know, once once the sod went in, things... The the game is on. Things have really started. Yes. And, really, what started was the wind and the fall season.
18
00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:05.960
Zavind? The trees are barfing all over the yard. And Of course. It's really cool how, like, it's evenly spread out,
19
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:13.785
but it's so much. And... Well, so I waited two weeks. Right? We're at the two weeks. Yeah. It needs to be mowed for the first time, tall,
20
00:02:14.105 --> 00:02:23.625
and I don't really want all that extra tree barf in there. So I went to Amazon to see what kind of product might be available. Yeah. And I found this Viva Push Lawn Sweeper.
21
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:25.680
I got the 21 inch version.
22
00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:32.160
It picks up leaves and grass. Like, so if I decide to mow the do the sod thing with Yeah.
23
00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:37.280
Right. I can go back over it and... Yeah. Just get some of it. Yeah. And
24
00:02:37.665 --> 00:02:56.890
I thought, okay. This might be a gimmick. It might not work, and and it's $89 for those I mean, $89 for something like this seems really good. Right? It claims to also pick up dog poop. Really? Yeah. But Well, that would be worth $89 on itself. Jeez. It's not motorized. Okay. Right? It's it's kind of like a zip tie material. Or those old push mowers. Well,
25
00:02:58.170 --> 00:03:06.410
but it's... The... They're zip ties instead of, like, a blade. Oh, there's, like, a sweeping it up. Yeah. So you're like Okay. Yeah. It's like a brush. Yeah. Brushing it up. And
26
00:03:07.335 --> 00:03:39.365
it works so well. I had it on the highest setting because the grass was so tall, but I I could not believe how well it worked. And this is gonna be perfect for when the grass isn't ready to be mowed, but there's still tree barf everywhere. Yes. Really cool. It worked really well. And it all goes right into the bag. Yeah. The bag folds up too, which is nice. Yeah. And and it came with a wall mount so that I can hang it on the wall because it's... It can store vertically. The only downside I could think of is those plastic brushes. Right? Maybe if you hit a lot of rocks, you'd break them over There's no rocks in the yard. But... Yeah. Mhmm. So, unfortunately,
27
00:03:39.845 --> 00:03:47.045
despite it being non motorized or, like like, not... It's not very heavy Okay. To push Yeah. And I did it in the shade.
28
00:03:47.630 --> 00:03:57.950
I I broke out in one of the worst hives that I've had this year. So, you know, it's not something that I can do myself in the whole yard. But I did that, and then I got out my mower,
29
00:03:58.270 --> 00:04:01.635
and I grabbed what I thought was my most recent gas. Oh,
30
00:04:02.275 --> 00:04:20.410
yeah. I know this one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it was not. Was it stanky? Did you smell it? Oh, boy. Oh, no. It smelled like gas. I got it on my hands. Okay. Sometimes when it's really old, it kinda smells more like paint remover or something. And you know what's stupid is the next day I found the can Oh, yeah. Of course. Of the new... Of where the current gas was.
31
00:04:20.570 --> 00:04:31.615
Anyway, it will not start. Oh. And the grass, if it gets any longer, like, I don't think a a standard mower is gonna be able to get So I I called this guy that used to come Yeah. Yeah. Mow my yard in 2019.
32
00:04:32.175 --> 00:04:41.615
He put together the the trampoline and the dome for the kids too. Like, I paid him to do that. Anyway, he's hopefully coming over this afternoon There you go. To save me. And
33
00:04:42.229 --> 00:04:46.550
I don't know that I'll need to mow it again. Right. For the... Till spring? Yeah.
34
00:04:46.949 --> 00:05:35.935
So... And if I do, I mean, I I still think you should even do with my mower now? Like I think you should get one of those auto mowers. I really think you should look at it. Oh, yeah. No. You're right. Yeah. That is what I was thinking about doing. Yeah. Or hire a guy. But, I mean, you know, automotive. Automower might work. Yeah. Yeah. I I didn't wanna... I I blew a lot of money on the sod. Yeah. I bet. It's expensive. I was hoping to wait till the spring and after my bonus that I could Yeah. Invest in. I haven't even started looking at that. I thought I only need to do one or two mows. I can use my mower. It's a good mower. Mhmm. But what do I even do now? Do I have to siphon the gas out? Is it is it already up in there? And it's That's a good question. I wonder if you couldn't add, like, a booster or a stabilizer to the fuel, mix it up, and maybe that would burn. Oh. Part of the problem is gonna be it's little in the combustion chamber now. But if you could get that Yeah. Is. You know many times we try to start it? Like,
35
00:05:36.095 --> 00:05:46.190
I'm like, press that down, like, a lot. Like, you could get it in there. To work that through. But maybe... I bet somebody listening probably knows more than I do. Yeah. So... Yeah. So call in (774) 462-5667,
36
00:05:46.190 --> 00:06:09.390
and let me know. What do I do with my mower? Yeah. Let her know. Help her out. If I do get a robot in the spring, what should I do with my mower? Should I find some local contractor that would know how to... Or that does landscaping and stuff and just be like, hey. Take it. Do you know? You need Should I give it to a neighbor? Like, what should I do? Alright. So you know what I like is you're turning into Hank Hill. Look. Some people hoist a flag to show they love our country. Well, my lawn is my flag.
37
00:06:09.790 --> 00:06:11.070
It tells the world,
38
00:06:11.550 --> 00:06:17.390
here lives a competent, trustworthy salesman of propane and propane accessories.
39
00:06:17.390 --> 00:06:19.630

45
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:53.825
I kid, but I think if I had disposable money at the moment, I'd probably hire somebody to come in and take care of. So Jupes is parked on a nice gravel pad,
46
00:06:54.225 --> 00:07:01.425
but that gravel pad is constantly inundated by the nature that used to occupy that position. And so just
47
00:07:01.585 --> 00:07:31.205
you mow it down, you you weed whack, you spray it, and then everything grows back 10 times stronger. And now we've got, like, vines growing between the rocks and... Have you tried vinegar? Yeah. Oh, that's what I initially started. Oh, okay. It just... And and the pace of it is so nuts because a, it's farmland Mhmm. And b, it was untamed farm area for god knows how long until we put down this this gravel. And I was involved with the process, and I'm very grateful it got done, but no, like, yard fabric went down or anything like So
48
00:07:31.845 --> 00:07:42.570
there was nothing to prevent stuff just from coming through. And you don't wanna use Roundup or hard chemicals? Well, with the chickens and Levi, I'm a little more cautious. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. No. I I definitely don't. I think my option is I'm gonna have to,
49
00:07:42.890 --> 00:07:44.250
one day, just start over,
50
00:07:44.730 --> 00:07:55.665
you know, mow it all down Yeah. Put down some land fabric, whatever it's called. Yeah. You know what? There... It's twenty year land fabric. That's what they put when I had the front yard Uh-huh. Changed to rocks. Yeah.
51
00:07:56.225 --> 00:07:58.145
Yeah. No. Everything's...
52
00:07:58.225 --> 00:08:01.905
Just pulled out two trees. That's gonna be... Yeah.
53
00:08:01.905 --> 00:08:15.349
Gonna even joking. Yeah. Well, I mean, total of four, but two trees out of that. Because then what... Well, in this case, what ends up happening is the sediment on top grows Mhmm. Stuff. Like, it's not even that's growing through. That is true. But the... And in fact, I pulled out one of the ferns,
54
00:08:15.824 --> 00:08:28.544
and it had a root ball on top of the fabric. Yeah. And when it pulled off, it only pulled part of the fabric, and so it looked hairy. And I was like, oh my gosh. This fern is hairy. You could see we need the help. You gotta boost inner, give us a call. We need the help.
55
00:08:41.085 --> 00:08:45.805
Those old disasters go. A fifteen year old trauma makes pretty good material for
56
00:08:46.205 --> 00:08:46.925
the
57
00:08:47.325 --> 00:08:47.965
show.
58
00:08:50.205 --> 00:08:51.165
Alright. So
59
00:08:52.125 --> 00:08:53.645
I was doing a bit of digging
60
00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:55.040
in an old
61
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.160
archived Dropbox folder called the Fishpond.
62
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:02.480
And Okay. Used to be a shared folder of ours. And I used to keep my work notes
63
00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:21.665
when I would go out to clients, and it would just be like a a markdown document of the day. And I would just keep a a running... What I'm working on so that way when it came time for billing or if they had questions about what the hell you... What the hell did you spend eight hours on, I could be like, boom. This is what I spent eight hours on, sucker. You know? And I'd just like hit them with a whole bunch of notes.
64
00:09:22.260 --> 00:09:26.340
Took me a while to to build that practice up. But I figured, hey, it would be interesting
65
00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:30.980
to feed that archive, which is actually several 100 megabytes
66
00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:33.700
of text and some documents and PDFs
67
00:09:33.780 --> 00:09:45.665
into the bot and see what the bot could learn and what kind of interesting things it could pull out. And a couple... I found a couple other things while digging around. I found an old JB bio page from 2010.
68
00:09:45.905 --> 00:09:49.025
Can I ask what what
69
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:53.160
sparked this? Because I grabbed an old iMac from the garage
70
00:09:53.320 --> 00:10:00.520
and booted it up. Yeah. Did that... Well, yeah. It's... Did you see it boot up? Well, yeah. And it created like a bunch of conflict copies. I was like, oh, what's going on in here? No.
71
00:10:00.920 --> 00:10:25.320
Yeah. You know what? I was like, I'm not even connecting it to the Internet. I saw it had an Ethernet port. I totally forgot about Wi Fi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I am so sorry. No. It's okay. I cleaned it up. I immediately looked to see if there was a Dropbox on there because I was super worried about that. Well, that used to have... We used to get conflict of copies all the time. Oh, man. That sucks. Like, I saw it when I was looking in there. You had a QuickBooks file in there from back in the day, and there was four conflict copies.
72
00:10:25.800 --> 00:10:38.144
And it's like, each day you had... Each day we had a conflict, and you had to recreate the QuickBooks file of, like Thank goodness for QBO, QuickBooks Online, because that's what I do now. Yeah. It must have been a moment where it was really a pain in the butt. Weird. So I I found this old PDF.
73
00:10:38.225 --> 00:10:41.745
Sorry. Yeah. When I when I booted it up, it still had
74
00:10:42.144 --> 00:10:47.345
the last BSD now episode that I edited. Oh my god. From, like, 2019.
75
00:10:47.345 --> 00:10:47.665
Wow.
76
00:10:48.260 --> 00:10:53.220
So I don't remember who wrote this PDF. I thought at first it was you because there's, like, bios of everyone in the crew,
77
00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:58.100
and there were still ones in there for, Justin and What what year? I think it was 2010.
78
00:10:58.260 --> 00:11:21.830
Oh, wow. Long time ago. There were shows... There were some old shows. So here's... So I thought it was probably you because that would be natural, but then I read the descriptions, and I don't think they sound like you. Okay. And I'm curious to see if you can place who it is. I honestly don't know. Okay. So here is my bio, and then I'll read yours. Without Chris, this whole venture would never have existed. It's his dream, his passion, and his unflinching dedication to forever achieving new heights and sharing his knowledge with anyone that wants to listen.
79
00:11:22.150 --> 00:11:37.875
Right? That doesn't sound like your style. It doesn't. It sounds like you had AI. I know. Right? No kidding. It does sound like AI. Okay. Along the way, he has learned all about video production, has personally financed the growth of Jupiter broadcasting. He continues to maintain a great company culture where he is learn... Leaning...
80
00:11:38.195 --> 00:11:55.900
Where learning is encouraged, whether it be hosting, editing, or background setup, there's always beverages in the fridge. That was true. We did that. That's funny. Did keep that fridge stocked. Yeah. Especially for Matt Hartley. He's also known for his fantastic and unyielding hair. We suspect the hair is the true brains behind the operation. Is this Wes? Is this I think this was pre Wes.
81
00:11:56.505 --> 00:11:57.625
He's not in the bio.
82
00:11:58.905 --> 00:12:34.585
Oh, was it Randy... Randall? Maybe. That's what I was wondering if it was Karen. So Angela's bio. Angela brings her bachelor's degree in business administration and experience as a former operations manager of an IT company to the table. She keeps the enterprise afloat almost single handedly. She's recently begun her own show to join the efforts to give Jupiter broadcasting a wider audience and a variety in show topics. She's also frequently found cooking dinner for more than half of the Jupiter broadcasting staff, as well as raising the hair to the Jupiter broadcasting staff. The hair. The the the hair. The hair. I mean, that works too. Dylan has quite I think it was Jeremy. Right? It had to have been Jeremy. Yeah. He he loved writing.
83
00:12:34.905 --> 00:12:40.180
Yeah. Oh, that's true. And he was my cohost on the faux show for the first 50 episodes.
84
00:12:40.420 --> 00:12:43.780
Yeah. I guess we were putting together maybe, like, an advertising packet or Probably
85
00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:47.140
for Cryptic Studios.
86
00:12:47.380 --> 00:12:50.500
Oh, maybe. Maybe. Who took him from us? Yes. That's very true.
87
00:12:52.845 --> 00:12:59.725
Alright. So then, like I said, we... I saw the conflicts in there. But what came across that I thought was really interesting
88
00:13:00.045 --> 00:13:02.125
was these old field notes of mine.
89
00:13:02.445 --> 00:13:03.885
I think this is after
90
00:13:04.285 --> 00:13:09.690
we started working for ourselves, and there was a builders exchange in Everett where
91
00:13:10.410 --> 00:13:27.555
they sort of were the public repository for all of the potential state projects that anyone in the world could bid on. And they had this website that was only compatible with Internet Explorer. This was really early day web stuff where they would come and builders could, like, review the the plans and and bid on contracts.
92
00:13:27.715 --> 00:13:32.995
And they had all these regulations and requirements that they had to follow because they worked for the state for the state jobs.
93
00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:39.420
And the funny thing was is they were trying to transition to something that would work on this new thing called the iPad,
94
00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:42.140
but their app was only in an Explorer. And
95
00:13:42.700 --> 00:13:50.865
I was sort of like backup tech support because they had a main IT guy. His name is Michael. He's a good guy. You probably remember him. Yep.
96
00:13:51.185 --> 00:13:51.905
And
97
00:13:52.065 --> 00:13:55.905
he he knew that place like the back of his hand.
98
00:13:56.305 --> 00:14:03.840
But, you know, it's a company of a 100 ish people with one IT guy. He was really busy, and he finally finally got to go on vacation.
99
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.120
And he was going out of town, and as he was leaving,
100
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:24.795
he sends me this email because I was already scheduled to kinda come in and just cover support, monitor the tickets, answer the phone, real basic stuff. So that's what I was preparing for that week. And I'm thinking, is gonna be a cake week. I'll work on some other client projects in the background. I'm gonna have my own office. Like, look at me go. Mhmm. He sends
101
00:14:24.955 --> 00:14:28.635
what I think is one of the single greatest vacation coverage emails I ever received.
102
00:14:29.630 --> 00:14:31.550
This place had no documentation.
103
00:14:31.709 --> 00:14:33.710
There was no infrastructure management.
104
00:14:33.870 --> 00:14:35.630
There was no ticket system.
105
00:14:36.029 --> 00:14:42.910
Just everything in Michael's brain that he tried to dump to me in an email, but it was like this quick bullet points
106
00:14:43.345 --> 00:14:47.185
of emails. And so I had several assignments. And assignment one
107
00:14:47.505 --> 00:14:50.465
was finishing the job that had been taking him weeks,
108
00:14:50.705 --> 00:15:11.230
deploying antivirus on 44 remaining PCs. K. And part of the reason it'd taken him so long is some of the PCs were hidden throughout the office. Like, staff had taken them. They had acquired a second PC and then hid it. Oh. So it was my job. It was it was too early for Bitcoin mining. Yeah. Or... And any kind of, like like like, AirTag or anything like that. So
109
00:15:11.705 --> 00:15:45.345
I get I get notes that he kinda has an idea. Like, I think there's a guest PC hidden upstairs in the storage area, and I know we have a spare PC in the IT office you could give somebody. And Jeff's second PC just came in, and Greg's second PC is at his desk. And there's some extras in the Scanning Room, And this is just how it worked. And they had a q and a lab where all the old hardware would go, there'd just be some extra hardware, and I have to go find it. Like, there wasn't, like, a central inventory I'd refer to. It was his tribal knowledge, and then I would go around and I would find stuff. Well, there's one behind that box, or there's one... There's an extra one in the QA Room. So job one was locate every computer in the building,
110
00:15:45.904 --> 00:15:53.665
remove antivirus that was on there, which is called claim antivirus, which I liked quite a bit, and install this new antivirus project... Package that would meet the state requirements,
111
00:15:53.745 --> 00:16:06.110
and then scan all the machines. Right? Oh, by the way, once you get done doing that on the 44 PCs, again, I had no idea this was coming. I need you to go ahead and finish a storage array project that I had you start and stop about a few weeks ago.
112
00:16:06.670 --> 00:16:41.225
But one of the disk drive in our main server died, so I took one of the disks out of your new array that you just built, and I put that disk in the server that had a bad drive. And I took the bad drive, and I put it in your array. But you should still be able to finish setting up the array. You'll just have a bad disk. Oh my gosh. And, like... I'm, like, okay. And he's like, oh, and all the install CDs and everything, everything's just piled on top of the array. And so literally on the desk is this massive storage box with, like, install CDs because there's, four of them, a bunch of cables, some dead hard drives. Like, one's the working drive? Which one's the dead drive? I had to hook them up into a spare PC to figure that out.
113
00:16:41.785 --> 00:16:59.120
And then I... You know, some of those CDs didn't even work. 12 physical disks. Mhmm. Get a very specific RAID setup that you wanted finished on there, and then get a basic NAS OS working on it. So I had to so I had to handle that. And, of course, then by the end of the week, like, the spare drive he had ordered had come in. So then I had to do, like, this whole drive rotation
114
00:16:59.280 --> 00:17:03.040
between the array and the server. But the real challenge
115
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:04.320
was
116
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:05.600
Jeff.
117
00:17:06.365 --> 00:17:17.565
Jeff was a project in itself. I had to fix Jeff up because I had to get the antivirus done, and I had to get Jeff's new PC sorted so we could back up his old PC, which had a bunch of confidential business information on it. And Jeff needed a new workstation.
118
00:17:18.045 --> 00:17:27.010
So I unboxed the PC, and I set it up. There's a whole ritual around setting up Windows XP at the time. And one of them was is that the IT guy, and I had to follow his protocol,
119
00:17:27.410 --> 00:17:47.155
he had a requirement that I mem test every workstation for twenty four hours. So build the machine, get it all worked, get it... You know, get everything kind of, like, plugged in, it boots up. And then before I can do anything with it, before I can install the OS or give it to the user, which I could have done in a couple of hours, I have to just sit there and run a memory test on it, which just takes forever
120
00:17:47.315 --> 00:17:52.355
for twenty four hours. One pass was not good enough. Then I had to back up all of Jeff's data,
121
00:17:53.100 --> 00:17:59.580
and we'd had problems in the past. So a very specific procedure you have to follow. You can't use the built in Microsoft migration tool.
122
00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:04.860
You didn't need to explain why to me because I guess I knew at the time why you couldn't use that tool, but now I don't remember. But something had happened before.
123
00:18:05.100 --> 00:18:05.820
And then
124
00:18:06.184 --> 00:18:09.624
once you get his email migrated, once you get the data backed up individually,
125
00:18:09.705 --> 00:18:18.425
he then wanted me to clone the hard drive into a virtual machine and get his old workstation working as a virtual machine in case they needed it in an emergency. Mhmm. As a hot backup? Yes.
126
00:18:19.169 --> 00:18:26.849
And then set the original hard drive aside in like this spot we had in the IT room for like drives we're saving that we never touched again. So
127
00:18:27.090 --> 00:18:36.724
freaking Jeff, man. He had like a new computer. I had to migrate files. I had to do a virtual copy of his old computer. I had to save his physical hard drive. I had... Then I had to do like this massive AV upgrade
128
00:18:36.885 --> 00:18:37.844
for Jeff
129
00:18:38.085 --> 00:18:50.110
just that way. I mean, like, Jeff Jeff alone, his PC alone probably had the best disaster recovery plan of the entire organization because we had a virtual instance of it. We had the physical hard drive saved up. We had the data separately backed up,
130
00:18:50.430 --> 00:18:51.870
and that was just an annoyance.
131
00:18:52.030 --> 00:18:53.470
But my favorite part
132
00:18:54.030 --> 00:18:56.910
was Firefox 13 had just rolled out,
133
00:18:57.310 --> 00:19:05.725
and I'm the lucky sucker that's there this week. This is the week I'm there when Firefox 13 rolls out. And it had broken something real bad,
134
00:19:06.365 --> 00:19:07.805
real bad. And
135
00:19:08.525 --> 00:19:29.059
For this company. Yes. And it had been rolled out to all of their workstations, like, the Thursday or Friday before Michael left. So I get in on Monday. Oh, and... Yeah. Nobody can do anything? And everybody's panicked. They literally are panicked. And, like, the vibe's gotta be like, oh my god. Our IT guy's gone and this new guy's here. Can he solve it? Mhmm. Right? And it's like that moment in airplane where
136
00:19:29.235 --> 00:19:45.799
Oh, jeez. The... That somebody steps out and says, is anybody here a pilot when the plane's in the air and the whole the whole cab screams because Freaks out. It's like Right. Yeah. That's what it sort of felt like walking into this. And I'm trying to figure out why it was broken. Like, I had to work the whole thing back, And it apparently was something something to do with, like, their Internet.
137
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:57.880
So I I came up with a script to roll some of them back, but then they were going out, and they were still installing it. And they kept having these users that were installing Firefox 13 after I just rolled them back to 12. Oh, gosh. And I'm like, how is this even happening? Right?
138
00:19:58.735 --> 00:20:19.700
Well, they all started up. Their homepage was an Internet page. Where right before he left, Michael had put a little upgrade to Firefox 13 right here. So they were... I would downgrade them to Firefox 12. They would open up the Internet page. Yep. And then They'd be able to work for a little bit, but then they would open that. So I I sneaky... Because I didn't wanna make too many changes. What I sneaky did is I changed the link to actually be Firefox 12,
139
00:20:20.020 --> 00:20:39.985
but then the period at the end of the sentence still linked you to Firefox 13 if you had really had to have it for some reason. Mhmm. So there's like a sneaky period link that if you knew click. Be like Yeah. Yeah. Just hover over the period and click that. And then there's like, if you have any issues, give us a call. And if you click that, it's like, we use this remote software called Join. Me. I don't know if it's still around. Oh my god. It was bad. Yeah.
140
00:20:40.580 --> 00:20:45.460
Was really bad. It was really bad. But it's it's just... It was really an absurd week. It was a rush.
141
00:20:45.860 --> 00:20:50.500
It was not a badly run shop. I really like Michael, and I thought he was he was actually,
142
00:20:50.980 --> 00:21:22.620
you know, one of the first guys that he knew best practices, but he'd also had enough experience to know how to do it right. Mhmm. And so as a young kid, I'd come and be like, what does this freaking guy know? And they'd like, oh, that's why he did it that way. So it helped me learn a lot there. And he really knew, like, where every weird computer was at. He knew where things were hidden often. He knew what tools not to use, which Firefox releases, I suppose, supposedly were gonna break and didn't tell me. Right. And when he left there, he decided to do consulting. Right? Yeah. Because then he came to my... Where I worked. Yep. And my work was a medical supply company. Yep. And it had
143
00:21:23.005 --> 00:22:19.854
the most ridiculous... Like, the former IT guy was very much into BSD Yeah. And had made just a weird Empire? Setup. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, of course, proprietary software and then, you know, HIPAA regulations and stuff. So it... But he walked in and he did the things. And and my boss, the owner, was not easy to work for No. At all. No. And I can't remember if... I mean, he fired all the IT guys. I don't know if he fired Michael. Think Michael just did a quiet exit. Like, I did this thing for you. I got this up and running. Bye. That is my recollection. Yeah. That's what I think too. Yeah. Is that is that he kinda just... He realized the way the wind was blowing. Mhmm. Yeah. And it's funny because when Michael... When he did leave that company, I stepped in and helped fill the gaps until they hired somebody permanently again. And so... Because we were able to pretty... By the end of it, pretty hand off pretty easily Yeah. Which was nice. And I do kind of miss... I mean, this is funny because this shows you what a buzz factor one person could be. Mhmm. But the part that was kind of nice was just
144
00:22:20.254 --> 00:22:26.494
somebody tells me something's broken. I tracked it in my notes, and I just went and fixed it. And there wasn't, like, all of this process
145
00:22:26.735 --> 00:22:37.190
and ceremony. Yeah. Mhmm. Yeah. It's like this And approval and... Yeah. Yeah. Like, there's room for maybe, like, a support ticket system in there would have made life a little better. Mhmm. But about beyond that, and it just started to get to be too much.
146
00:22:37.590 --> 00:22:49.605
So just, you know, do this, don't use that tool, make this happen, and get it done, and the rest was sort of left up to me how to solve it. So it's just a bygone era, I think. And it was funny going through those notes going like, oh my god. That week that
147
00:22:50.085 --> 00:22:54.645
week was crazy. Mhmm. Do I need to disable something on that Mac?
148
00:22:55.125 --> 00:23:03.129
If Dropbox is running, you could turn it off. I... Well, I didn't I didn't find it or I didn't see it. But It probably self update and destroy itself, so you put it on. Alright.
149
00:23:03.370 --> 00:23:12.169
So you can give us a call and let us know what... If you've ever been in that position where you have to do vacation coverage for your work, whatever it might be, tech or not Mhmm. And it goes a little wild,
150
00:23:12.570 --> 00:23:23.044
give us a ring. What happened? Yeah. Tell us. Tell us what happened. We know we love those stories. You know we do. Now's the time. It's the song of the week. Remember, you can boost the track.
151
00:23:23.445 --> 00:23:24.725
They sure like that.
152
00:23:25.205 --> 00:23:31.700
Alright. This week's song is sitting at number one on Wavelake's top 40, and it's a tribute to John Lennon's masterpiece,
153
00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:32.740
Imagine.
154
00:23:32.820 --> 00:23:36.740
But it's more of a retake on the song for you libertarians out there.
155
00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:38.740
Let's imagine
156
00:23:39.780 --> 00:23:41.140
life without a state.
157
00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.100
To
158
00:23:58.299 --> 00:23:59.820
and
159
00:25:31.715 --> 00:25:32.114
We're
160
00:25:32.595 --> 00:25:33.234
what
161
00:25:34.434 --> 00:25:34.914
We're
162
00:25:38.274 --> 00:25:39.075
to a
163
00:26:02.625 --> 00:26:07.585
Well, I'm just gonna make a quick call to my lunch. I haven't checked in since yesterday.
164
00:26:08.065 --> 00:26:09.585
(774)
165
00:26:09.585 --> 00:26:12.784
462-5667.
166
00:26:12.785 --> 00:26:15.549
That's it. Alright. (774)
167
00:26:15.549 --> 00:26:18.669
462-5667.
168
00:26:18.750 --> 00:26:19.709
Call now.
169
00:26:20.269 --> 00:26:22.909
Yeah. We got some calls. Just a couple of calls.
170
00:26:23.309 --> 00:26:28.350
And Magnolia Mayhem kicks us off with the first call, and I think it's on the topic of Pinch Flat,
171
00:26:29.054 --> 00:26:37.695
which is a self hosted YouTube downloader that just sort of downloads YouTube videos and saves them on your server so that way you can play them in Plex or Jellyfin like a regular, like, TV show or something.
172
00:26:38.095 --> 00:26:38.815
Hey.
173
00:26:39.134 --> 00:26:46.009
You know, I just realized that I haven't called in in weeks. Sorry. There's some college stuff going on. But, yeah, man. I
174
00:26:46.170 --> 00:26:51.929
I figured, you know, listening to the free show, and I'm like, hey. I should call in. I can't think of anything to call in about, but it
175
00:26:52.490 --> 00:26:53.769
was big goodness.
176
00:26:54.410 --> 00:26:58.810
You know, I actually had a tech win recently. My my wife works at an autism clinic,
177
00:26:59.345 --> 00:27:01.265
and there were some kids that
178
00:27:01.425 --> 00:27:02.225
they play
179
00:27:02.545 --> 00:27:06.065
music for, and it's kind of like a behavioral thing.
180
00:27:06.305 --> 00:27:10.945
And it's really hard on them when things get cut off in the middle of the commercials. So
181
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:17.720
built her a little pinch flat instance for the kids to play their their favorite songs,
182
00:27:18.280 --> 00:27:23.720
and they cut out all the commercials and stuff. And so it's it's actually helping out. So, yeah,
183
00:27:24.120 --> 00:27:27.035
kind of a kind of a technology win.
184
00:27:27.435 --> 00:27:30.475
So that's that's always a good thing to have. I don't know. Anyway,
185
00:27:30.875 --> 00:27:35.674
I I called in, so that's a mission accomplished, I guess. So... Yeah.
186
00:27:35.835 --> 00:27:44.300
That's good one. That's really cool. What do... What is pinch flat? So you can think of it as, like, kind of like a companion that sits next to Plex or Jellyfin,
187
00:27:44.540 --> 00:27:56.345
and then you give it your favorite YouTube channels, and then it will auto download the YouTube channels. And then Oh. As people on the Internet flag sponsored segments and... Or, like, this is a plug or whatever. Yeah. It will then redownload
188
00:27:56.345 --> 00:28:27.835
them and and omit those sections Nice. And cut and stuff. So there's, one password just gets the video right away, and then there's another version where after, like, a little while, it then redoes and repasses the video and cuts it down for you. That's really cool. The other cool thing it can do is when you're watching in Plex or Jellyfin, it can add chapter markers, like the time stamps Yeah. And and you can see them in the in the player in in Jellyfin or whatever. So Nice. Yeah. It is a really cool project. It hasn't been updated for a long time, so I'm a little worried that the developers fall off. There's another project called UTARR, u t a r r, UTARR.
189
00:28:28.155 --> 00:28:29.755
And it's kind of equivalents,
190
00:28:29.755 --> 00:28:34.315
but not the same. Alright. Our next and last call this week comes from West,
191
00:28:34.554 --> 00:28:38.955
and he wants to comment on the niche topics we we cover sometimes on the network.
192
00:28:39.890 --> 00:28:43.969
Hey, Chris. Hey, Angela. I'm gonna go by Wes. That's my last name.
193
00:28:44.370 --> 00:28:46.769
Chris, I wanted to call in and say
194
00:28:47.250 --> 00:28:49.570
that I can understand
195
00:28:49.649 --> 00:28:50.369
your
196
00:28:50.450 --> 00:28:51.250
concern
197
00:28:51.250 --> 00:28:53.809
when you have a lack of engagement on certain topics,
198
00:28:54.304 --> 00:28:57.105
but I wanted to say that I appreciate that you cover
199
00:28:57.265 --> 00:28:59.585
what I call niche Chris topics,
200
00:28:59.905 --> 00:29:02.385
topics that you're very personally enthusiastic
201
00:29:02.385 --> 00:29:06.465
about that maybe don't end up resonating with the entire audience.
202
00:29:06.785 --> 00:29:08.945
I do feel that they're still worth covering,
203
00:29:09.510 --> 00:29:11.190
if not only for yourself,
204
00:29:11.590 --> 00:29:20.150
I also feel like you work your butt off, and, you know I get out. If a one episode every six months happens to be on a topic that you love that doesn't get quite as much engagement,
205
00:29:20.310 --> 00:29:22.390
like, that doesn't mean it's not getting any engagement.
206
00:29:22.835 --> 00:29:25.315
You know, Notster, Buzz, file systems,
207
00:29:25.395 --> 00:29:31.075
VR headsets for tool workspaces, Clankertalk in general, these are all things I'm in, like, various
208
00:29:31.315 --> 00:29:37.970
positions of of of, you know, learning about myself, and I love all of them, and every episode on those topics,
209
00:29:38.290 --> 00:29:43.730
I have listened to more than once, just to try to absorb information while I'm doing chores or whatever.
210
00:29:44.530 --> 00:29:51.315
I know lately it's been kind of rough, you made it sound like that was just hard for you, and I just wanted to throw
211
00:29:52.115 --> 00:29:53.075
my little bit of
212
00:29:53.475 --> 00:29:58.035
input in there. I'm a Juvenile Party member, whatever, the subscription service,
213
00:29:58.355 --> 00:30:03.395
and I think I'm rambling, so have a good No. It was great. Thank you, Wes. You know, speaking of,
214
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.759
since we only had two voice mails, this section is a little short. Okay.
215
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:23.094
First of all, Colin. Yeah. Colin, leave us a voice mail. Know. When it rains, it pours, and then we have droughts. Yes. Do you want to do a quick overview of how the clanker live stream went last week? And I think it went pretty well. We did Clanker Therapy two, which is up on YouTube and on extras.show.
216
00:30:23.414 --> 00:30:25.575
And, yeah, I think that we we
217
00:30:25.975 --> 00:30:33.470
maybe went a little more technical this time, so I'm kinda curious to know people's feedback on that. Mhmm. And we launched uplink.jupiterbroadcasting.com.
218
00:30:33.470 --> 00:30:36.190
I don't know if you've got a chance to see it yet. It's really cool.
219
00:30:36.590 --> 00:30:45.790
And you can leave us a two minute voice message, a lot like voice mail. Oh, yeah. There. You can leave us a little note and tell us, you know, what you've been building. And then when you're done recording,
220
00:30:46.315 --> 00:31:00.555
you can review it and make sure that you like it. You can give us your name and tell us what you're building. Or if you wanna send a message to a specific show, you can drop down the show and choose that and the episode. Look at that. You don't even have to pick up your phone or remember (774)
221
00:31:00.555 --> 00:31:02.340
462-5667?
222
00:31:02.340 --> 00:31:04.820
Nope. Just uplink.jupiterbroadcasting.com.
223
00:31:04.900 --> 00:31:20.565
Now I haven't turned on the launch yet because I want to incorporate the back end that pulls in the voicemail, so I just have to update that. Oh, yeah. But it is turned on for future clanker therapy streams and for Linux unplugged, and I will turn it on for the launch probably this week. Uplink.jupiterbroadcasting.com.
224
00:31:20.565 --> 00:32:12.364
You can tell us what you've been working on. It's another way to leave a voice note, which is really awesome. Mhmm. So we announced that in the stream and what we've been building, some of the infrastructure. We have a long list of projects, so we're probably gonna do a couple of more of those streams as we just work through stuff and just share you... Share with share with you what we're working on as we're working on it. Because this one was really, like, from June to now. So it was like a big dense update, and we just sort of picked a few things. But I think if we do those streams a little more regularly, we could bring in kind of more frequently as we're working on stuff. And there's a lot we're doing. So Yep. Links to Clanker two therapy and uplink in the show notes. Yeah. Check it out. Check it out. But thank you for giving us a call there, Mayhem and West. We appreciate yous. And with that, it's time for some boosts. Four score and seven boosts to go. One boost, which I guess makes him our default baller booster. Yeah. Magnolia
225
00:32:12.684 --> 00:32:15.085
Mayhem, you come in with 5134
226
00:32:15.085 --> 00:32:16.844
sats. Hey, Richard.
227
00:32:18.684 --> 00:32:23.724
Already called. Oh, well, here's some sats. Hey. Boost. Thank you, Mayhem.
228
00:32:23.965 --> 00:32:31.830
Appreciate you. I almost wonder if this is an air because zero sat streamer seems a little odd. Yeah. Zero When did you last check it? During the music?
229
00:32:32.230 --> 00:32:36.549
Yeah. Okay. I'm looking at it right now. Yeah. I'm looking at it right now. Last check-in the Oh, right now.
230
00:32:37.595 --> 00:32:42.715
Okay. Yeah. When it's that low, I gotta make sure. Like Absolutely. It could be a system error. It could be.
231
00:32:43.355 --> 00:32:46.715
But my sense is... I went through the logs. My sense is not.
232
00:32:48.795 --> 00:32:53.270
Like I say, when it rains and pours and then we have droughts, boost.jupiterbroadcasting.com
233
00:32:53.270 --> 00:33:02.950
if you wanna support us out there. Maybe what the issue is is I just haven't earned people enough money. Maybe that's it. I haven't hit the right I mean, do you have an investment in mind, though? I... Well, I think I might have something.
234
00:33:28.850 --> 00:33:35.514
Okay. K. This first one I'm calling sort of island life. It's $995,000,
235
00:33:35.835 --> 00:33:38.794
two bedrooms, one bath, 2,165
236
00:33:38.794 --> 00:33:42.794
square feet. So you're asking yourself, why is it almost a million dollars?
237
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:46.959
Well, it does technically come with 22 acres of property,
238
00:33:47.279 --> 00:34:01.575
but it also comes with what they're calling an oyster house, which is situated on its own one acre island surrounded by a river. It looks so cool. That's a river? Yeah. That is cool. Right? That is Wait. It looks an ocean. It looks... Or a or a giant lake.
239
00:34:01.895 --> 00:34:08.375
Yeah. I know. It's... It is a neat idea at first, but then as you go through the pictures, I start to think
240
00:34:08.855 --> 00:34:17.240
Does it flood? Maybe this was just like a dude's idea that was... Sounded good on paper, but then nobody was like, stop. Because when you look at it It's unfinished.
241
00:34:17.240 --> 00:34:22.119
Well, it's in pretty rough shape. And a lot of what you're paying for is the 22 acres that's just got, like,
242
00:34:22.520 --> 00:34:35.785
trees and old busted down buildings on it. It's a bachelor pad for sure. The other problem with it Uh-oh. I don't think I've gotten to it. And this is this is taken directly from the description here. Okay? At the end of the description, they write,
243
00:34:36.424 --> 00:34:46.200
although the causeway was once drivable, it will need repairs to make it drivable again. Oh, so you can't even drive to your house? And the property is only accessible during low tide.
244
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:47.240
So
245
00:34:47.800 --> 00:35:11.550
it's got some problems. Okay. It's got some problems. Okay. Do you see in picture 32, it... There's another house on the property. Yeah. Yeah. There's an old There's a primary house, and then there's the oyster house. Yes. Which is so cute. Where do they come up with that? Is it because it's in the middle of this body of water? Maybe. But you see how they kind of... Like, you have a triangle shape of land that you get? Yeah. Yeah. That's an awkward shape. And there's old there's old buildings. It is a weird shape of a too.
246
00:35:12.030 --> 00:35:32.085
That's probably part of the... Part of it during high tide. Yeah. Part of the massive body of life. Essentially a lot of old buildings that are falling apart that you gotta get rid of. They're not really in a state of repair. Yeah. Well, that's cool. It is very cool. I like it. It is a neat idea, but then, like, you see, like, you can't get out million dollars? No. And and you can't even get out to the house except for when the tide's low. Yeah.
247
00:35:32.325 --> 00:35:37.820
Not quite island life. Yeah. And what also means you can't leave the house. Right. So there's that too.
248
00:35:38.380 --> 00:35:44.140
Alright. Now this next one strikes me because it's a tiny house with a big price. Okay. $295,000,
249
00:35:44.140 --> 00:35:53.385
which isn't crazy. But when you're talking a 189 square feet, it's less square feet than I have in Lady Jupes. One bed, one bath, built in 1940,
250
00:35:53.465 --> 00:35:55.785
and comes with $60 a month HOA.
251
00:35:56.025 --> 00:36:00.745
No. Yeah. Oh my gosh. But get this. It rents right now for $1,700
252
00:36:00.745 --> 00:36:01.385
a month.
253
00:36:01.705 --> 00:36:08.940
No. A 189 square feet. That's crazy. It literally just fits two twin beds. Yeah. The description calls it charming and compact.
254
00:36:09.420 --> 00:36:13.180
I would describe it as the size of a of a shed. Yeah. Yeah.
255
00:36:13.420 --> 00:36:30.295
Not even a big shed. Just like a... It's a decent sized shed, but not like a giant shed. Looks like it's on the water, though. Or is it? No. It's jet... No. It's not. It's in somebody's yard. Yeah. There's the... That person's house is blocking the view the crazy. Yeah. There's houses. But what's so crazy is they describe it as a private location.
256
00:36:30.535 --> 00:36:38.800
But it's in somebody's backyard Yeah. Next to somebody else's house with a row of houses in front of it. Okay. And how much is it? 295,000.
257
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:42.560
Yeah. That's too much. I know. One bed. One bed. Reminds me of that one
258
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:46.480
waterfront shed Yeah. That is still available for 250,000.
259
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:52.675
Bookmarks still. I do. It's right here every time. It's still... Yeah. Nobody's buying it because it is way overpriced.
260
00:36:52.675 --> 00:36:59.155
I... Why have they not brought it down? Well, right. Well, can you believe this place goes for 1,700 a month for rent?
261
00:36:59.555 --> 00:37:00.755
Yeah. I can.
262
00:37:01.359 --> 00:37:02.000
Ugh.
263
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:13.280
Because... Well Ugh. What state is that? Because I don't know if I say I'll pull it up, though. Didn't... I deck... Usually, I I note that. Yeah. Because if it's Washington, I believe it. No. It's MA.
264
00:37:13.835 --> 00:37:15.115
No. Massachusetts,
265
00:37:15.275 --> 00:37:17.755
I think? Massachusetts. Yep. Toruno,
266
00:37:17.755 --> 00:37:18.634
Massachusetts.
267
00:37:18.634 --> 00:37:19.355
Okay.
268
00:37:19.835 --> 00:37:23.515
So, yeah, maybe they're just kind of expensive over there. I don't know. I
269
00:37:23.835 --> 00:37:25.595
don't know. I could see that here.
270
00:37:25.835 --> 00:37:31.789
Yeah. It is... Because just a room is anywhere between 1,100 and 1,500 typically.
271
00:37:31.789 --> 00:37:34.109
What's crazy. Right? So that one is 295.
272
00:37:34.109 --> 00:37:37.630
But here is my final one for the week. K. This is the moneymaker.
273
00:37:37.630 --> 00:37:41.150
Alright. Maybe even for us. I call this one the Halloween pivot.
274
00:37:41.785 --> 00:37:45.145
Great time of year to do it. $225,000,
275
00:37:45.145 --> 00:37:47.945
four bed, four bath. I love it. It's in Fredonia,
276
00:37:47.945 --> 00:37:54.585
Pennsylvania. Don't love that. Which is a tiny town that is about point four square miles. It was built in 1921.
277
00:37:54.585 --> 00:37:56.105
It is a historic church
278
00:37:56.680 --> 00:37:58.760
with a rare opportunity
279
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.400
to own a distinct piece of local history.
280
00:38:01.640 --> 00:38:09.800
The outs... You're gonna love this part. The outside property includes a luxurious parking area and a graveyard with more than a 100 graves. Okay.
281
00:38:11.080 --> 00:38:22.155
Well, alright. That's the Halloween part. Yep. Well... And it's kinda spooky looking like the... It is. I think somebody was using this as, like, an escape room Halloween house kind of thing or something. Wow.
282
00:38:22.875 --> 00:38:25.595
There really is a cemetery. Yeah. It's a classic
283
00:38:25.940 --> 00:38:27.540
old school graveyard.
284
00:38:27.540 --> 00:38:30.740
I like the stained glass. Yeah. It it does have moments.
285
00:38:31.300 --> 00:38:34.740
And the sun rises or sets, I'm not sure, over the graveyard.
286
00:38:34.820 --> 00:38:40.340
Why did they take pictures in the dark? Did To make it... Just so you know it's spooky. No. They they want you to know
287
00:38:41.075 --> 00:38:51.555
that you can make this a spooky place. Uh-huh. And you could Airbnb out a spooky church or something. Weird. Now they have renovated the inside to a degree, but then there's aspects of the inside that are spooky as well. Like,
288
00:38:52.035 --> 00:38:52.355
again,
289
00:38:52.860 --> 00:39:07.180
putting porcelain dolls in the wrong spot is really creepy. Right. You gotta deploy porcelain dolls. Right. And then, like, the bedroom with the sunken bed and the bad lighting and the black paint on the walls Yep. Very creepy. Cupboards off the wall. Mhmm.
290
00:39:07.805 --> 00:39:11.725
I like that there's two shots of the porcelain dolls too. That's good. Yeah. I got it twice.
291
00:39:12.125 --> 00:39:13.725
The kitchen is just kind of a pile.
292
00:39:14.365 --> 00:39:21.565
The cupboards aren't even connected to each That's why... Yeah. Yeah. You're right. That is so weird. They're... Yeah. Some of them are just pulled down. Like, they must have been mid renovation.
293
00:39:21.565 --> 00:39:30.870
Yeah. They're like, you know what? Never mind. Yeah. I think you're right. The shower in the basement looked like they were mid reno too. Gonna nope out. Yeah. They're like, nope. It's too spooky. We're out of here. Right. The ghosts got them.
294
00:39:31.190 --> 00:39:38.925
They scared themselves. That graveyard's legit, though. It is. Put some neon lights in. And they and they did a nighttime picture with a fog. Like, it really could be...
295
00:39:39.245 --> 00:40:03.020
It could be an awesome haunted house. It says the space is ready for somebody with a vision. So I think JB pivots to a Halloween themed podcast network. Oh. This is the perfect time of year to do it. You know, Drew and Jackie would love that. I I think they'd be all in. Yep. I think they'd be all in. And They have to be a board of advisers. Now we gotta get some zoning permits, it says, because it doesn't have those ready. You're gonna have to get some permits because it doesn't have those ready, and it does say there's some restrictions and some approvals from the local city council. But
296
00:40:03.579 --> 00:40:11.194
I think we could get that taken care of, we're gonna... We'll make a pod... Haunted podcast studio. That's pretty cool. Two... See, that's what's crazy to me. Right? 225,000
297
00:40:11.194 --> 00:40:14.474
for an entire church Right. With its own graveyard. Yeah.
298
00:40:15.035 --> 00:40:21.700
Or or that tiny little shack for $2.95. It's just It is. It's just absurd. It's bonks is what it is.
299
00:40:28.020 --> 00:40:40.395
Alright. Give us a call, but also go check out the Uplink site. Give us a a note for a future Clanker stream or Linux unplugged. We'll play some of them. We try to play all our voicemails in the launch, but for this, we're probably only gonna play some. We'll see. We'll see. Mhmm. Oh, and I didn't mention
300
00:40:40.635 --> 00:40:52.060
Oh. The best part. Oh, why not? So it's a two minute voice note like we do here on on launch. However, you know how that sometimes doesn't work for people. Right? Can you re up? If you're a member confused. If you're a member, you can extend
301
00:40:52.300 --> 00:40:54.300
for an additional minute. That's
302
00:40:54.300 --> 00:40:59.580
nice. Yeah. So members log in, and they get an additional minute. For Uplink. Don't be confused with things that calling
303
00:40:59.660 --> 00:41:20.890
Nope. The phone number will allow you that. It's only uplink dot jupiter broadcasting dot The phone system doesn't know you're a member. I didn't build that, but we could build this and we could make that work. Yes. So it's neat. I'm really happy it's launched. It took a took a few weeks really of... It's probably one of the more painful software projects I've ever been involved in, and it took way longer than I thought that it would take and all that kind of stuff, which is great. Mhmm.
304
00:41:21.130 --> 00:41:33.610
I'm learning. Yep. I'm learning. And felt like it was done the right way though. So there's that. Okay, Andrew. Well, we're all done here. Mhmm. It's time for us to scoot. So I'll just leave everybody with this. Links to what we talked about are at weeklylaunch.rocks.

17
00:01:41.549 --> 00:01:59.000
Well, Andrews, I know you've been taking care of Yard Biz. I have. The kind of biz of Yard Biz, and you're making good progress, it sounds like. Things have really kind of... You know, once once the sod went in, things... The the game is on. Things have really started. Yes. And, really, what started was the wind and the fall season.
18
00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:05.960
Zavind? The trees are barfing all over the yard. And Of course. It's really cool how, like, it's evenly spread out,
19
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:13.785
but it's so much. And... Well, so I waited two weeks. Right? We're at the two weeks. Yeah. It needs to be mowed for the first time, tall,
20
00:02:14.105 --> 00:02:23.625
and I don't really want all that extra tree barf in there. So I went to Amazon to see what kind of product might be available. Yeah. And I found this Viva Push Lawn Sweeper.
21
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:25.680
I got the 21 inch version.
22
00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:32.160
It picks up leaves and grass. Like, so if I decide to mow the do the sod thing with Yeah.
23
00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:37.280
Right. I can go back over it and... Yeah. Just get some of it. Yeah. And
24
00:02:37.665 --> 00:02:56.890
I thought, okay. This might be a gimmick. It might not work, and and it's $89 for those I mean, $89 for something like this seems really good. Right? It claims to also pick up dog poop. Really? Yeah. But Well, that would be worth $89 on itself. Jeez. It's not motorized. Okay. Right? It's it's kind of like a zip tie material. Or those old push mowers. Well,
25
00:02:58.170 --> 00:03:06.410
but it's... The... They're zip ties instead of, like, a blade. Oh, there's, like, a sweeping it up. Yeah. So you're like Okay. Yeah. It's like a brush. Yeah. Brushing it up. And
26
00:03:07.335 --> 00:03:39.365
it works so well. I had it on the highest setting because the grass was so tall, but I I could not believe how well it worked. And this is gonna be perfect for when the grass isn't ready to be mowed, but there's still tree barf everywhere. Yes. Really cool. It worked really well. And it all goes right into the bag. Yeah. The bag folds up too, which is nice. Yeah. And and it came with a wall mount so that I can hang it on the wall because it's... It can store vertically. The only downside I could think of is those plastic brushes. Right? Maybe if you hit a lot of rocks, you'd break them over There's no rocks in the yard. But... Yeah. Mhmm. So, unfortunately,
27
00:03:39.845 --> 00:03:47.045
despite it being non motorized or, like like, not... It's not very heavy Okay. To push Yeah. And I did it in the shade.
28
00:03:47.630 --> 00:03:57.950
I I broke out in one of the worst hives that I've had this year. So, you know, it's not something that I can do myself in the whole yard. But I did that, and then I got out my mower,
29
00:03:58.270 --> 00:04:01.635
and I grabbed what I thought was my most recent gas. Oh,
30
00:04:02.275 --> 00:04:20.410
yeah. I know this one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it was not. Was it stanky? Did you smell it? Oh, boy. Oh, no. It smelled like gas. I got it on my hands. Okay. Sometimes when it's really old, it kinda smells more like paint remover or something. And you know what's stupid is the next day I found the can Oh, yeah. Of course. Of the new... Of where the current gas was.
31
00:04:20.570 --> 00:04:31.615
Anyway, it will not start. Oh. And the grass, if it gets any longer, like, I don't think a a standard mower is gonna be able to get So I I called this guy that used to come Yeah. Yeah. Mow my yard in 2019.
32
00:04:32.175 --> 00:04:41.615
He put together the the trampoline and the dome for the kids too. Like, I paid him to do that. Anyway, he's hopefully coming over this afternoon There you go. To save me. And
33
00:04:42.229 --> 00:04:46.550
I don't know that I'll need to mow it again. Right. For the... Till spring? Yeah.
34
00:04:46.949 --> 00:05:35.935
So... And if I do, I mean, I I still think you should even do with my mower now? Like I think you should get one of those auto mowers. I really think you should look at it. Oh, yeah. No. You're right. Yeah. That is what I was thinking about doing. Yeah. Or hire a guy. But, I mean, you know, automotive. Automower might work. Yeah. Yeah. I I didn't wanna... I I blew a lot of money on the sod. Yeah. I bet. It's expensive. I was hoping to wait till the spring and after my bonus that I could Yeah. Invest in. I haven't even started looking at that. I thought I only need to do one or two mows. I can use my mower. It's a good mower. Mhmm. But what do I even do now? Do I have to siphon the gas out? Is it is it already up in there? And it's That's a good question. I wonder if you couldn't add, like, a booster or a stabilizer to the fuel, mix it up, and maybe that would burn. Oh. Part of the problem is gonna be it's little in the combustion chamber now. But if you could get that Yeah. Is. You know many times we try to start it? Like,
35
00:05:36.095 --> 00:05:46.190
I'm like, press that down, like, a lot. Like, you could get it in there. To work that through. But maybe... I bet somebody listening probably knows more than I do. Yeah. So... Yeah. So call in (774) 462-5667,
36
00:05:46.190 --> 00:06:09.390
and let me know. What do I do with my mower? Yeah. Let her know. Help her out. If I do get a robot in the spring, what should I do with my mower? Should I find some local contractor that would know how to... Or that does landscaping and stuff and just be like, hey. Take it. Do you know? You need Should I give it to a neighbor? Like, what should I do? Alright. So you know what I like is you're turning into Hank Hill. Look. Some people hoist a flag to show they love our country. Well, my lawn is my flag.

I kid, but I think if I had disposable money at the moment, I'd probably hire somebody to come in and take care of. So Jupes is parked on a nice gravel pad,
46
00:06:54.225 --> 00:07:01.425
but that gravel pad is constantly inundated by the nature that used to occupy that position. And so just
47
00:07:01.585 --> 00:07:31.205
you mow it down, you you weed whack, you spray it, and then everything grows back 10 times stronger. And now we've got, like, vines growing between the rocks and... Have you tried vinegar? Yeah. Oh, that's what I initially started. Oh, okay. It just... And and the pace of it is so nuts because a, it's farmland Mhmm. And b, it was untamed farm area for god knows how long until we put down this this gravel. And I was involved with the process, and I'm very grateful it got done, but no, like, yard fabric went down or anything like So
48
00:07:31.845 --> 00:07:42.570
there was nothing to prevent stuff just from coming through. And you don't wanna use Roundup or hard chemicals? Well, with the chickens and Levi, I'm a little more cautious. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. No. I I definitely don't. I think my option is I'm gonna have to,
49
00:07:42.890 --> 00:07:44.250
one day, just start over,
50
00:07:44.730 --> 00:07:55.665
you know, mow it all down Yeah. Put down some land fabric, whatever it's called. Yeah. You know what? There... It's twenty year land fabric. That's what they put when I had the front yard Uh-huh. Changed to rocks. Yeah.
51
00:07:56.225 --> 00:07:58.145
Yeah. No. Everything's...
52
00:07:58.225 --> 00:08:01.905
Just pulled out two trees. That's gonna be... Yeah.
53
00:08:01.905 --> 00:08:15.349
Gonna even joking. Yeah. Well, I mean, total of four, but two trees out of that. Because then what... Well, in this case, what ends up happening is the sediment on top grows Mhmm. Stuff. Like, it's not even that's growing through. That is true. But the... And in fact, I pulled out one of the ferns,
54
00:08:15.824 --> 00:08:28.544
and it had a root ball on top of the fabric. Yeah. And when it pulled off, it only pulled part of the fabric, and so it looked hairy. And I was like, oh my gosh. This fern is hairy. You could see we need the help. You gotta boost inner, give us a call. We need the help.
55
00:08:41.085 --> 00:08:45.805
Those old disasters go. A fifteen year old trauma makes pretty good material for
56
00:08:46.205 --> 00:08:46.925
the
57
00:08:47.325 --> 00:08:47.965
show.
58
00:08:50.205 --> 00:08:51.165
Alright. So
59
00:08:52.125 --> 00:08:53.645
I was doing a bit of digging
60
00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:55.040
in an old
61
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.160
archived Dropbox folder called the Fishpond.
62
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:02.480
And Okay. Used to be a shared folder of ours. And I used to keep my work notes
63
00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:21.665
when I would go out to clients, and it would just be like a a markdown document of the day. And I would just keep a a running... What I'm working on so that way when it came time for billing or if they had questions about what the hell you... What the hell did you spend eight hours on, I could be like, boom. This is what I spent eight hours on, sucker. You know? And I'd just like hit them with a whole bunch of notes.
64
00:09:22.260 --> 00:09:26.340
Took me a while to to build that practice up. But I figured, hey, it would be interesting
65
00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:30.980
to feed that archive, which is actually several 100 megabytes
66
00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:33.700
of text and some documents and PDFs
67
00:09:33.780 --> 00:09:45.665
into the bot and see what the bot could learn and what kind of interesting things it could pull out. And a couple... I found a couple other things while digging around. I found an old JB bio page from 2010.
68
00:09:45.905 --> 00:09:49.025
Can I ask what what
69
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:53.160
sparked this? Because I grabbed an old iMac from the garage
70
00:09:53.320 --> 00:10:00.520
and booted it up. Yeah. Did that... Well, yeah. It's... Did you see it boot up? Well, yeah. And it created like a bunch of conflict copies. I was like, oh, what's going on in here? No.
71
00:10:00.920 --> 00:10:25.320
Yeah. You know what? I was like, I'm not even connecting it to the Internet. I saw it had an Ethernet port. I totally forgot about Wi Fi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I am so sorry. No. It's okay. I cleaned it up. I immediately looked to see if there was a Dropbox on there because I was super worried about that. Well, that used to have... We used to get conflict of copies all the time. Oh, man. That sucks. Like, I saw it when I was looking in there. You had a QuickBooks file in there from back in the day, and there was four conflict copies.
72
00:10:25.800 --> 00:10:38.144
And it's like, each day you had... Each day we had a conflict, and you had to recreate the QuickBooks file of, like Thank goodness for QBO, QuickBooks Online, because that's what I do now. Yeah. It must have been a moment where it was really a pain in the butt. Weird. So I I found this old PDF.
73
00:10:38.225 --> 00:10:41.745
Sorry. Yeah. When I when I booted it up, it still had
74
00:10:42.144 --> 00:10:47.345
the last BSD now episode that I edited. Oh my god. From, like, 2019.
75
00:10:47.345 --> 00:10:47.665
Wow.
76
00:10:48.260 --> 00:10:53.220
So I don't remember who wrote this PDF. I thought at first it was you because there's, like, bios of everyone in the crew,
77
00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:58.100
and there were still ones in there for, Justin and What what year? I think it was 2010.
78
00:10:58.260 --> 00:11:21.830
Oh, wow. Long time ago. There were shows... There were some old shows. So here's... So I thought it was probably you because that would be natural, but then I read the descriptions, and I don't think they sound like you. Okay. And I'm curious to see if you can place who it is. I honestly don't know. Okay. So here is my bio, and then I'll read yours. Without Chris, this whole venture would never have existed. It's his dream, his passion, and his unflinching dedication to forever achieving new heights and sharing his knowledge with anyone that wants to listen.
79
00:11:22.150 --> 00:11:37.875
Right? That doesn't sound like your style. It doesn't. It sounds like you had AI. I know. Right? No kidding. It does sound like AI. Okay. Along the way, he has learned all about video production, has personally financed the growth of Jupiter broadcasting. He continues to maintain a great company culture where he is learn... Leaning...
80
00:11:38.195 --> 00:11:55.900
Where learning is encouraged, whether it be hosting, editing, or background setup, there's always beverages in the fridge. That was true. We did that. That's funny. Did keep that fridge stocked. Yeah. Especially for Matt Hartley. He's also known for his fantastic and unyielding hair. We suspect the hair is the true brains behind the operation. Is this Wes? Is this I think this was pre Wes.
81
00:11:56.505 --> 00:11:57.625
He's not in the bio.
82
00:11:58.905 --> 00:12:34.585
Oh, was it Randy... Randall? Maybe. That's what I was wondering if it was Karen. So Angela's bio. Angela brings her bachelor's degree in business administration and experience as a former operations manager of an IT company to the table. She keeps the enterprise afloat almost single handedly. She's recently begun her own show to join the efforts to give Jupiter broadcasting a wider audience and a variety in show topics. She's also frequently found cooking dinner for more than half of the Jupiter broadcasting staff, as well as raising the hair to the Jupiter broadcasting staff. The hair. The the the hair. The hair. I mean, that works too. Dylan has quite I think it was Jeremy. Right? It had to have been Jeremy. Yeah. He he loved writing.
83
00:12:34.905 --> 00:12:40.180
Yeah. Oh, that's true. And he was my cohost on the faux show for the first 50 episodes.
84
00:12:40.420 --> 00:12:43.780
Yeah. I guess we were putting together maybe, like, an advertising packet or Probably
85
00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:47.140
for Cryptic Studios.
86
00:12:47.380 --> 00:12:50.500
Oh, maybe. Maybe. Who took him from us? Yes. That's very true.
87
00:12:52.845 --> 00:12:59.725
Alright. So then, like I said, we... I saw the conflicts in there. But what came across that I thought was really interesting
88
00:13:00.045 --> 00:13:02.125
was these old field notes of mine.
89
00:13:02.445 --> 00:13:03.885
I think this is after
90
00:13:04.285 --> 00:13:09.690
we started working for ourselves, and there was a builders exchange in Everett where
91
00:13:10.410 --> 00:13:27.555
they sort of were the public repository for all of the potential state projects that anyone in the world could bid on. And they had this website that was only compatible with Internet Explorer. This was really early day web stuff where they would come and builders could, like, review the the plans and and bid on contracts.
92
00:13:27.715 --> 00:13:32.995
And they had all these regulations and requirements that they had to follow because they worked for the state for the state jobs.
93
00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:39.420
And the funny thing was is they were trying to transition to something that would work on this new thing called the iPad,
94
00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:42.140
but their app was only in an Explorer. And
95
00:13:42.700 --> 00:13:50.865
I was sort of like backup tech support because they had a main IT guy. His name is Michael. He's a good guy. You probably remember him. Yep.
96
00:13:51.185 --> 00:13:51.905
And
97
00:13:52.065 --> 00:13:55.905
he he knew that place like the back of his hand.
98
00:13:56.305 --> 00:14:03.840
But, you know, it's a company of a 100 ish people with one IT guy. He was really busy, and he finally finally got to go on vacation.
99
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.120
And he was going out of town, and as he was leaving,
100
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:24.795
he sends me this email because I was already scheduled to kinda come in and just cover support, monitor the tickets, answer the phone, real basic stuff. So that's what I was preparing for that week. And I'm thinking, is gonna be a cake week. I'll work on some other client projects in the background. I'm gonna have my own office. Like, look at me go. Mhmm. He sends
101
00:14:24.955 --> 00:14:28.635
what I think is one of the single greatest vacation coverage emails I ever received.
102
00:14:29.630 --> 00:14:31.550
This place had no documentation.
103
00:14:31.709 --> 00:14:33.710
There was no infrastructure management.
104
00:14:33.870 --> 00:14:35.630
There was no ticket system.
105
00:14:36.029 --> 00:14:42.910
Just everything in Michael's brain that he tried to dump to me in an email, but it was like this quick bullet points
106
00:14:43.345 --> 00:14:47.185
of emails. And so I had several assignments. And assignment one
107
00:14:47.505 --> 00:14:50.465
was finishing the job that had been taking him weeks,
108
00:14:50.705 --> 00:15:11.230
deploying antivirus on 44 remaining PCs. K. And part of the reason it'd taken him so long is some of the PCs were hidden throughout the office. Like, staff had taken them. They had acquired a second PC and then hid it. Oh. So it was my job. It was it was too early for Bitcoin mining. Yeah. Or... And any kind of, like like like, AirTag or anything like that. So
109
00:15:11.705 --> 00:15:45.345
I get I get notes that he kinda has an idea. Like, I think there's a guest PC hidden upstairs in the storage area, and I know we have a spare PC in the IT office you could give somebody. And Jeff's second PC just came in, and Greg's second PC is at his desk. And there's some extras in the Scanning Room, And this is just how it worked. And they had a q and a lab where all the old hardware would go, there'd just be some extra hardware, and I have to go find it. Like, there wasn't, like, a central inventory I'd refer to. It was his tribal knowledge, and then I would go around and I would find stuff. Well, there's one behind that box, or there's one... There's an extra one in the QA Room. So job one was locate every computer in the building,
110
00:15:45.904 --> 00:15:53.665
remove antivirus that was on there, which is called claim antivirus, which I liked quite a bit, and install this new antivirus project... Package that would meet the state requirements,
111
00:15:53.745 --> 00:16:06.110
and then scan all the machines. Right? Oh, by the way, once you get done doing that on the 44 PCs, again, I had no idea this was coming. I need you to go ahead and finish a storage array project that I had you start and stop about a few weeks ago.
112
00:16:06.670 --> 00:16:41.225
But one of the disk drive in our main server died, so I took one of the disks out of your new array that you just built, and I put that disk in the server that had a bad drive. And I took the bad drive, and I put it in your array. But you should still be able to finish setting up the array. You'll just have a bad disk. Oh my gosh. And, like... I'm, like, okay. And he's like, oh, and all the install CDs and everything, everything's just piled on top of the array. And so literally on the desk is this massive storage box with, like, install CDs because there's, four of them, a bunch of cables, some dead hard drives. Like, one's the working drive? Which one's the dead drive? I had to hook them up into a spare PC to figure that out.
113
00:16:41.785 --> 00:16:59.120
And then I... You know, some of those CDs didn't even work. 12 physical disks. Mhmm. Get a very specific RAID setup that you wanted finished on there, and then get a basic NAS OS working on it. So I had to so I had to handle that. And, of course, then by the end of the week, like, the spare drive he had ordered had come in. So then I had to do, like, this whole drive rotation
114
00:16:59.280 --> 00:17:03.040
between the array and the server. But the real challenge
115
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:04.320
was
116
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:05.600
Jeff.
117
00:17:06.365 --> 00:17:17.565
Jeff was a project in itself. I had to fix Jeff up because I had to get the antivirus done, and I had to get Jeff's new PC sorted so we could back up his old PC, which had a bunch of confidential business information on it. And Jeff needed a new workstation.
118
00:17:18.045 --> 00:17:27.010
So I unboxed the PC, and I set it up. There's a whole ritual around setting up Windows XP at the time. And one of them was is that the IT guy, and I had to follow his protocol,
119
00:17:27.410 --> 00:17:47.155
he had a requirement that I mem test every workstation for twenty four hours. So build the machine, get it all worked, get it... You know, get everything kind of, like, plugged in, it boots up. And then before I can do anything with it, before I can install the OS or give it to the user, which I could have done in a couple of hours, I have to just sit there and run a memory test on it, which just takes forever
120
00:17:47.315 --> 00:17:52.355
for twenty four hours. One pass was not good enough. Then I had to back up all of Jeff's data,
121
00:17:53.100 --> 00:17:59.580
and we'd had problems in the past. So a very specific procedure you have to follow. You can't use the built in Microsoft migration tool.
122
00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:04.860
You didn't need to explain why to me because I guess I knew at the time why you couldn't use that tool, but now I don't remember. But something had happened before.
123
00:18:05.100 --> 00:18:05.820
And then
124
00:18:06.184 --> 00:18:09.624
once you get his email migrated, once you get the data backed up individually,
125
00:18:09.705 --> 00:18:18.425
he then wanted me to clone the hard drive into a virtual machine and get his old workstation working as a virtual machine in case they needed it in an emergency. Mhmm. As a hot backup? Yes.
126
00:18:19.169 --> 00:18:26.849
And then set the original hard drive aside in like this spot we had in the IT room for like drives we're saving that we never touched again. So
127
00:18:27.090 --> 00:18:36.724
freaking Jeff, man. He had like a new computer. I had to migrate files. I had to do a virtual copy of his old computer. I had to save his physical hard drive. I had... Then I had to do like this massive AV upgrade
128
00:18:36.885 --> 00:18:37.844
for Jeff
129
00:18:38.085 --> 00:18:50.110
just that way. I mean, like, Jeff Jeff alone, his PC alone probably had the best disaster recovery plan of the entire organization because we had a virtual instance of it. We had the physical hard drive saved up. We had the data separately backed up,
130
00:18:50.430 --> 00:18:51.870
and that was just an annoyance.
131
00:18:52.030 --> 00:18:53.470
But my favorite part
132
00:18:54.030 --> 00:18:56.910
was Firefox 13 had just rolled out,
133
00:18:57.310 --> 00:19:05.725
and I'm the lucky sucker that's there this week. This is the week I'm there when Firefox 13 rolls out. And it had broken something real bad,
134
00:19:06.365 --> 00:19:07.805
real bad. And
135
00:19:08.525 --> 00:19:29.059
For this company. Yes. And it had been rolled out to all of their workstations, like, the Thursday or Friday before Michael left. So I get in on Monday. Oh, and... Yeah. Nobody can do anything? And everybody's panicked. They literally are panicked. And, like, the vibe's gotta be like, oh my god. Our IT guy's gone and this new guy's here. Can he solve it? Mhmm. Right? And it's like that moment in airplane where
136
00:19:29.235 --> 00:19:45.799
Oh, jeez. The... That somebody steps out and says, is anybody here a pilot when the plane's in the air and the whole the whole cab screams because Freaks out. It's like Right. Yeah. That's what it sort of felt like walking into this. And I'm trying to figure out why it was broken. Like, I had to work the whole thing back, And it apparently was something something to do with, like, their Internet.
137
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:57.880
So I I came up with a script to roll some of them back, but then they were going out, and they were still installing it. And they kept having these users that were installing Firefox 13 after I just rolled them back to 12. Oh, gosh. And I'm like, how is this even happening? Right?
138
00:19:58.735 --> 00:20:19.700
Well, they all started up. Their homepage was an Internet page. Where right before he left, Michael had put a little upgrade to Firefox 13 right here. So they were... I would downgrade them to Firefox 12. They would open up the Internet page. Yep. And then They'd be able to work for a little bit, but then they would open that. So I I sneaky... Because I didn't wanna make too many changes. What I sneaky did is I changed the link to actually be Firefox 12,
139
00:20:20.020 --> 00:20:39.985
but then the period at the end of the sentence still linked you to Firefox 13 if you had really had to have it for some reason. Mhmm. So there's like a sneaky period link that if you knew click. Be like Yeah. Yeah. Just hover over the period and click that. And then there's like, if you have any issues, give us a call. And if you click that, it's like, we use this remote software called Join. Me. I don't know if it's still around. Oh my god. It was bad. Yeah.
140
00:20:40.580 --> 00:20:45.460
Was really bad. It was really bad. But it's it's just... It was really an absurd week. It was a rush.
141
00:20:45.860 --> 00:20:50.500
It was not a badly run shop. I really like Michael, and I thought he was he was actually,
142
00:20:50.980 --> 00:21:22.620
you know, one of the first guys that he knew best practices, but he'd also had enough experience to know how to do it right. Mhmm. And so as a young kid, I'd come and be like, what does this freaking guy know? And they'd like, oh, that's why he did it that way. So it helped me learn a lot there. And he really knew, like, where every weird computer was at. He knew where things were hidden often. He knew what tools not to use, which Firefox releases, I suppose, supposedly were gonna break and didn't tell me. Right. And when he left there, he decided to do consulting. Right? Yeah. Because then he came to my... Where I worked. Yep. And my work was a medical supply company. Yep. And it had
143
00:21:23.005 --> 00:22:19.854
the most ridiculous... Like, the former IT guy was very much into BSD Yeah. And had made just a weird Empire? Setup. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, of course, proprietary software and then, you know, HIPAA regulations and stuff. So it... But he walked in and he did the things. And and my boss, the owner, was not easy to work for No. At all. No. And I can't remember if... I mean, he fired all the IT guys. I don't know if he fired Michael. Think Michael just did a quiet exit. Like, I did this thing for you. I got this up and running. Bye. That is my recollection. Yeah. That's what I think too. Yeah. Is that is that he kinda just... He realized the way the wind was blowing. Mhmm. Yeah. And it's funny because when Michael... When he did leave that company, I stepped in and helped fill the gaps until they hired somebody permanently again. And so... Because we were able to pretty... By the end of it, pretty hand off pretty easily Yeah. Which was nice. And I do kind of miss... I mean, this is funny because this shows you what a buzz factor one person could be. Mhmm. But the part that was kind of nice was just
144
00:22:20.254 --> 00:22:26.494
somebody tells me something's broken. I tracked it in my notes, and I just went and fixed it. And there wasn't, like, all of this process
145
00:22:26.735 --> 00:22:37.190
and ceremony. Yeah. Mhmm. Yeah. It's like this And approval and... Yeah. Yeah. Like, there's room for maybe, like, a support ticket system in there would have made life a little better. Mhmm. But about beyond that, and it just started to get to be too much.
146
00:22:37.590 --> 00:22:49.605
So just, you know, do this, don't use that tool, make this happen, and get it done, and the rest was sort of left up to me how to solve it. So it's just a bygone era, I think. And it was funny going through those notes going like, oh my god. That week that
147
00:22:50.085 --> 00:22:54.645
week was crazy. Mhmm. Do I need to disable something on that Mac?
148
00:22:55.125 --> 00:23:03.129
If Dropbox is running, you could turn it off. I... Well, I didn't I didn't find it or I didn't see it. But It probably self update and destroy itself, so you put it on. Alright.
149
00:23:03.370 --> 00:23:12.169
So you can give us a call and let us know what... If you've ever been in that position where you have to do vacation coverage for your work, whatever it might be, tech or not Mhmm. And it goes a little wild,
150
00:23:12.570 --> 00:23:23.044
give us a ring. What happened? Yeah. Tell us. Tell us what happened. We know we love those stories. You know we do. Now's the time. It's the song of the week. Remember, you can boost the track.
151
00:23:23.445 --> 00:23:24.725
They sure like that.
152
00:23:25.205 --> 00:23:31.700
Alright. This week's song is sitting at number one on Wavelake's top 40, and it's a tribute to John Lennon's masterpiece,
153
00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:32.740
Imagine.
154
00:23:32.820 --> 00:23:36.740
But it's more of a retake on the song for you libertarians out there.
155
00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:38.740
Let's imagine
156
00:23:39.780 --> 00:23:41.140
life without a state.
157
00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.100
To
158
00:23:58.299 --> 00:23:59.820
and
159
00:25:31.715 --> 00:25:32.114
We're
160
00:25:32.595 --> 00:25:33.234
what
161
00:25:34.434 --> 00:25:34.914
We're
162
00:25:38.274 --> 00:25:39.075
to a
163
00:26:02.625 --> 00:26:07.585
Well, I'm just gonna make a quick call to my lunch. I haven't checked in since yesterday.
164
00:26:08.065 --> 00:26:09.585
(774)
165
00:26:09.585 --> 00:26:12.784
462-5667.
166
00:26:12.785 --> 00:26:15.549
That's it. Alright. (774)
167
00:26:15.549 --> 00:26:18.669
462-5667.
168
00:26:18.750 --> 00:26:19.709
Call now.
169
00:26:20.269 --> 00:26:22.909
Yeah. We got some calls. Just a couple of calls.
170
00:26:23.309 --> 00:26:28.350
And Magnolia Mayhem kicks us off with the first call, and I think it's on the topic of Pinch Flat,
171
00:26:29.054 --> 00:26:37.695
which is a self hosted YouTube downloader that just sort of downloads YouTube videos and saves them on your server so that way you can play them in Plex or Jellyfin like a regular, like, TV show or something.
172
00:26:38.095 --> 00:26:38.815
Hey.
173
00:26:39.134 --> 00:26:46.009
You know, I just realized that I haven't called in in weeks. Sorry. There's some college stuff going on. But, yeah, man. I
174
00:26:46.170 --> 00:26:51.929
I figured, you know, listening to the free show, and I'm like, hey. I should call in. I can't think of anything to call in about, but it
175
00:26:52.490 --> 00:26:53.769
was big goodness.
176
00:26:54.410 --> 00:26:58.810
You know, I actually had a tech win recently. My my wife works at an autism clinic,
177
00:26:59.345 --> 00:27:01.265
and there were some kids that
178
00:27:01.425 --> 00:27:02.225
they play
179
00:27:02.545 --> 00:27:06.065
music for, and it's kind of like a behavioral thing.
180
00:27:06.305 --> 00:27:10.945
And it's really hard on them when things get cut off in the middle of the commercials. So
181
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:17.720
built her a little pinch flat instance for the kids to play their their favorite songs,
182
00:27:18.280 --> 00:27:23.720
and they cut out all the commercials and stuff. And so it's it's actually helping out. So, yeah,
183
00:27:24.120 --> 00:27:27.035
kind of a kind of a technology win.
184
00:27:27.435 --> 00:27:30.475
So that's that's always a good thing to have. I don't know. Anyway,
185
00:27:30.875 --> 00:27:35.674
I I called in, so that's a mission accomplished, I guess. So... Yeah.
186
00:27:35.835 --> 00:27:44.300
That's good one. That's really cool. What do... What is pinch flat? So you can think of it as, like, kind of like a companion that sits next to Plex or Jellyfin,
187
00:27:44.540 --> 00:27:56.345
and then you give it your favorite YouTube channels, and then it will auto download the YouTube channels. And then Oh. As people on the Internet flag sponsored segments and... Or, like, this is a plug or whatever. Yeah. It will then redownload
188
00:27:56.345 --> 00:28:27.835
them and and omit those sections Nice. And cut and stuff. So there's, one password just gets the video right away, and then there's another version where after, like, a little while, it then redoes and repasses the video and cuts it down for you. That's really cool. The other cool thing it can do is when you're watching in Plex or Jellyfin, it can add chapter markers, like the time stamps Yeah. And and you can see them in the in the player in in Jellyfin or whatever. So Nice. Yeah. It is a really cool project. It hasn't been updated for a long time, so I'm a little worried that the developers fall off. There's another project called UTARR, u t a r r, UTARR.
189
00:28:28.155 --> 00:28:29.755
And it's kind of equivalents,
190
00:28:29.755 --> 00:28:34.315
but not the same. Alright. Our next and last call this week comes from West,
191
00:28:34.554 --> 00:28:38.955
and he wants to comment on the niche topics we we cover sometimes on the network.
192
00:28:39.890 --> 00:28:43.969
Hey, Chris. Hey, Angela. I'm gonna go by Wes. That's my last name.
193
00:28:44.370 --> 00:28:46.769
Chris, I wanted to call in and say
194
00:28:47.250 --> 00:28:49.570
that I can understand
195
00:28:49.649 --> 00:28:50.369
your
196
00:28:50.450 --> 00:28:51.250
concern
197
00:28:51.250 --> 00:28:53.809
when you have a lack of engagement on certain topics,
198
00:28:54.304 --> 00:28:57.105
but I wanted to say that I appreciate that you cover
199
00:28:57.265 --> 00:28:59.585
what I call niche Chris topics,
200
00:28:59.905 --> 00:29:02.385
topics that you're very personally enthusiastic
201
00:29:02.385 --> 00:29:06.465
about that maybe don't end up resonating with the entire audience.
202
00:29:06.785 --> 00:29:08.945
I do feel that they're still worth covering,
203
00:29:09.510 --> 00:29:11.190
if not only for yourself,
204
00:29:11.590 --> 00:29:20.150
I also feel like you work your butt off, and, you know I get out. If a one episode every six months happens to be on a topic that you love that doesn't get quite as much engagement,
205
00:29:20.310 --> 00:29:22.390
like, that doesn't mean it's not getting any engagement.
206
00:29:22.835 --> 00:29:25.315
You know, Notster, Buzz, file systems,
207
00:29:25.395 --> 00:29:31.075
VR headsets for tool workspaces, Clankertalk in general, these are all things I'm in, like, various
208
00:29:31.315 --> 00:29:37.970
positions of of of, you know, learning about myself, and I love all of them, and every episode on those topics,
209
00:29:38.290 --> 00:29:43.730
I have listened to more than once, just to try to absorb information while I'm doing chores or whatever.
210
00:29:44.530 --> 00:29:51.315
I know lately it's been kind of rough, you made it sound like that was just hard for you, and I just wanted to throw
211
00:29:52.115 --> 00:29:53.075
my little bit of
212
00:29:53.475 --> 00:29:58.035
input in there. I'm a Juvenile Party member, whatever, the subscription service,
213
00:29:58.355 --> 00:30:03.395
and I think I'm rambling, so have a good No. It was great. Thank you, Wes. You know, speaking of,
214
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.759
since we only had two voice mails, this section is a little short. Okay.
215
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:23.094
First of all, Colin. Yeah. Colin, leave us a voice mail. Know. When it rains, it pours, and then we have droughts. Yes. Do you want to do a quick overview of how the clanker live stream went last week? And I think it went pretty well. We did Clanker Therapy two, which is up on YouTube and on extras.show.
216
00:30:23.414 --> 00:30:25.575
And, yeah, I think that we we
217
00:30:25.975 --> 00:30:33.470
maybe went a little more technical this time, so I'm kinda curious to know people's feedback on that. Mhmm. And we launched uplink.jupiterbroadcasting.com.
218
00:30:33.470 --> 00:30:36.190
I don't know if you've got a chance to see it yet. It's really cool.
219
00:30:36.590 --> 00:30:45.790
And you can leave us a two minute voice message, a lot like voice mail. Oh, yeah. There. You can leave us a little note and tell us, you know, what you've been building. And then when you're done recording,
220
00:30:46.315 --> 00:31:00.555
you can review it and make sure that you like it. You can give us your name and tell us what you're building. Or if you wanna send a message to a specific show, you can drop down the show and choose that and the episode. Look at that. You don't even have to pick up your phone or remember (774)
221
00:31:00.555 --> 00:31:02.340
462-5667?
222
00:31:02.340 --> 00:31:04.820
Nope. Just uplink.jupiterbroadcasting.com.
223
00:31:04.900 --> 00:31:20.565
Now I haven't turned on the launch yet because I want to incorporate the back end that pulls in the voicemail, so I just have to update that. Oh, yeah. But it is turned on for future clanker therapy streams and for Linux unplugged, and I will turn it on for the launch probably this week. Uplink.jupiterbroadcasting.com.
224
00:31:20.565 --> 00:32:12.364
You can tell us what you've been working on. It's another way to leave a voice note, which is really awesome. Mhmm. So we announced that in the stream and what we've been building, some of the infrastructure. We have a long list of projects, so we're probably gonna do a couple of more of those streams as we just work through stuff and just share you... Share with share with you what we're working on as we're working on it. Because this one was really, like, from June to now. So it was like a big dense update, and we just sort of picked a few things. But I think if we do those streams a little more regularly, we could bring in kind of more frequently as we're working on stuff. And there's a lot we're doing. So Yep. Links to Clanker two therapy and uplink in the show notes. Yeah. Check it out. Check it out. But thank you for giving us a call there, Mayhem and West. We appreciate yous. And with that, it's time for some boosts. Four score and seven boosts to go. One boost, which I guess makes him our default baller booster. Yeah. Magnolia
225
00:32:12.684 --> 00:32:15.085
Mayhem, you come in with 5134
226
00:32:15.085 --> 00:32:16.844
sats. Hey, Richard.
227
00:32:18.684 --> 00:32:23.724
Already called. Oh, well, here's some sats. Hey. Boost. Thank you, Mayhem.
228
00:32:23.965 --> 00:32:31.830
Appreciate you. I almost wonder if this is an air because zero sat streamer seems a little odd. Yeah. Zero When did you last check it? During the music?
229
00:32:32.230 --> 00:32:36.549
Yeah. Okay. I'm looking at it right now. Yeah. I'm looking at it right now. Last check-in the Oh, right now.
230
00:32:37.595 --> 00:32:42.715
Okay. Yeah. When it's that low, I gotta make sure. Like Absolutely. It could be a system error. It could be.
231
00:32:43.355 --> 00:32:46.715
But my sense is... I went through the logs. My sense is not.
232
00:32:48.795 --> 00:32:53.270
Like I say, when it rains and pours and then we have droughts, boost.jupiterbroadcasting.com
233
00:32:53.270 --> 00:33:02.950
if you wanna support us out there. Maybe what the issue is is I just haven't earned people enough money. Maybe that's it. I haven't hit the right I mean, do you have an investment in mind, though? I... Well, I think I might have something.
234
00:33:28.850 --> 00:33:35.514
Okay. K. This first one I'm calling sort of island life. It's $995,000,
235
00:33:35.835 --> 00:33:38.794
two bedrooms, one bath, 2,165
236
00:33:38.794 --> 00:33:42.794
square feet. So you're asking yourself, why is it almost a million dollars?
237
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:46.959
Well, it does technically come with 22 acres of property,
238
00:33:47.279 --> 00:34:01.575
but it also comes with what they're calling an oyster house, which is situated on its own one acre island surrounded by a river. It looks so cool. That's a river? Yeah. That is cool. Right? That is Wait. It looks an ocean. It looks... Or a or a giant lake.
239
00:34:01.895 --> 00:34:08.375
Yeah. I know. It's... It is a neat idea at first, but then as you go through the pictures, I start to think
240
00:34:08.855 --> 00:34:17.240
Does it flood? Maybe this was just like a dude's idea that was... Sounded good on paper, but then nobody was like, stop. Because when you look at it It's unfinished.
241
00:34:17.240 --> 00:34:22.119
Well, it's in pretty rough shape. And a lot of what you're paying for is the 22 acres that's just got, like,
242
00:34:22.520 --> 00:34:35.785
trees and old busted down buildings on it. It's a bachelor pad for sure. The other problem with it Uh-oh. I don't think I've gotten to it. And this is this is taken directly from the description here. Okay? At the end of the description, they write,
243
00:34:36.424 --> 00:34:46.200
although the causeway was once drivable, it will need repairs to make it drivable again. Oh, so you can't even drive to your house? And the property is only accessible during low tide.
244
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:47.240
So
245
00:34:47.800 --> 00:35:11.550
it's got some problems. Okay. It's got some problems. Okay. Do you see in picture 32, it... There's another house on the property. Yeah. Yeah. There's an old There's a primary house, and then there's the oyster house. Yes. Which is so cute. Where do they come up with that? Is it because it's in the middle of this body of water? Maybe. But you see how they kind of... Like, you have a triangle shape of land that you get? Yeah. Yeah. That's an awkward shape. And there's old there's old buildings. It is a weird shape of a too.
246
00:35:12.030 --> 00:35:32.085
That's probably part of the... Part of it during high tide. Yeah. Part of the massive body of life. Essentially a lot of old buildings that are falling apart that you gotta get rid of. They're not really in a state of repair. Yeah. Well, that's cool. It is very cool. I like it. It is a neat idea, but then, like, you see, like, you can't get out million dollars? No. And and you can't even get out to the house except for when the tide's low. Yeah.
247
00:35:32.325 --> 00:35:37.820
Not quite island life. Yeah. And what also means you can't leave the house. Right. So there's that too.
248
00:35:38.380 --> 00:35:44.140
Alright. Now this next one strikes me because it's a tiny house with a big price. Okay. $295,000,
249
00:35:44.140 --> 00:35:53.385
which isn't crazy. But when you're talking a 189 square feet, it's less square feet than I have in Lady Jupes. One bed, one bath, built in 1940,
250
00:35:53.465 --> 00:35:55.785
and comes with $60 a month HOA.
251
00:35:56.025 --> 00:36:00.745
No. Yeah. Oh my gosh. But get this. It rents right now for $1,700
252
00:36:00.745 --> 00:36:01.385
a month.
253
00:36:01.705 --> 00:36:08.940
No. A 189 square feet. That's crazy. It literally just fits two twin beds. Yeah. The description calls it charming and compact.
254
00:36:09.420 --> 00:36:13.180
I would describe it as the size of a of a shed. Yeah. Yeah.
255
00:36:13.420 --> 00:36:30.295
Not even a big shed. Just like a... It's a decent sized shed, but not like a giant shed. Looks like it's on the water, though. Or is it? No. It's jet... No. It's not. It's in somebody's yard. Yeah. There's the... That person's house is blocking the view the crazy. Yeah. There's houses. But what's so crazy is they describe it as a private location.
256
00:36:30.535 --> 00:36:38.800
But it's in somebody's backyard Yeah. Next to somebody else's house with a row of houses in front of it. Okay. And how much is it? 295,000.
257
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:42.560
Yeah. That's too much. I know. One bed. One bed. Reminds me of that one
258
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:46.480
waterfront shed Yeah. That is still available for 250,000.
259
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:52.675
Bookmarks still. I do. It's right here every time. It's still... Yeah. Nobody's buying it because it is way overpriced.
260
00:36:52.675 --> 00:36:59.155
I... Why have they not brought it down? Well, right. Well, can you believe this place goes for 1,700 a month for rent?
261
00:36:59.555 --> 00:37:00.755
Yeah. I can.
262
00:37:01.359 --> 00:37:02.000
Ugh.
263
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:13.280
Because... Well Ugh. What state is that? Because I don't know if I say I'll pull it up, though. Didn't... I deck... Usually, I I note that. Yeah. Because if it's Washington, I believe it. No. It's MA.
264
00:37:13.835 --> 00:37:15.115
No. Massachusetts,
265
00:37:15.275 --> 00:37:17.755
I think? Massachusetts. Yep. Toruno,
266
00:37:17.755 --> 00:37:18.634
Massachusetts.
267
00:37:18.634 --> 00:37:19.355
Okay.
268
00:37:19.835 --> 00:37:23.515
So, yeah, maybe they're just kind of expensive over there. I don't know. I
269
00:37:23.835 --> 00:37:25.595
don't know. I could see that here.
270
00:37:25.835 --> 00:37:31.789
Yeah. It is... Because just a room is anywhere between 1,100 and 1,500 typically.
271
00:37:31.789 --> 00:37:34.109
What's crazy. Right? So that one is 295.
272
00:37:34.109 --> 00:37:37.630
But here is my final one for the week. K. This is the moneymaker.
273
00:37:37.630 --> 00:37:41.150
Alright. Maybe even for us. I call this one the Halloween pivot.
274
00:37:41.785 --> 00:37:45.145
Great time of year to do it. $225,000,
275
00:37:45.145 --> 00:37:47.945
four bed, four bath. I love it. It's in Fredonia,
276
00:37:47.945 --> 00:37:54.585
Pennsylvania. Don't love that. Which is a tiny town that is about point four square miles. It was built in 1921.
277
00:37:54.585 --> 00:37:56.105
It is a historic church
278
00:37:56.680 --> 00:37:58.760
with a rare opportunity
279
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.400
to own a distinct piece of local history.
280
00:38:01.640 --> 00:38:09.800
The outs... You're gonna love this part. The outside property includes a luxurious parking area and a graveyard with more than a 100 graves. Okay.
281
00:38:11.080 --> 00:38:22.155
Well, alright. That's the Halloween part. Yep. Well... And it's kinda spooky looking like the... It is. I think somebody was using this as, like, an escape room Halloween house kind of thing or something. Wow.
282
00:38:22.875 --> 00:38:25.595
There really is a cemetery. Yeah. It's a classic
283
00:38:25.940 --> 00:38:27.540
old school graveyard.
284
00:38:27.540 --> 00:38:30.740
I like the stained glass. Yeah. It it does have moments.
285
00:38:31.300 --> 00:38:34.740
And the sun rises or sets, I'm not sure, over the graveyard.
286
00:38:34.820 --> 00:38:40.340
Why did they take pictures in the dark? Did To make it... Just so you know it's spooky. No. They they want you to know
287
00:38:41.075 --> 00:38:51.555
that you can make this a spooky place. Uh-huh. And you could Airbnb out a spooky church or something. Weird. Now they have renovated the inside to a degree, but then there's aspects of the inside that are spooky as well. Like,
288
00:38:52.035 --> 00:38:52.355
again,
289
00:38:52.860 --> 00:39:07.180
putting porcelain dolls in the wrong spot is really creepy. Right. You gotta deploy porcelain dolls. Right. And then, like, the bedroom with the sunken bed and the bad lighting and the black paint on the walls Yep. Very creepy. Cupboards off the wall. Mhmm.
290
00:39:07.805 --> 00:39:11.725
I like that there's two shots of the porcelain dolls too. That's good. Yeah. I got it twice.
291
00:39:12.125 --> 00:39:13.725
The kitchen is just kind of a pile.
292
00:39:14.365 --> 00:39:21.565
The cupboards aren't even connected to each That's why... Yeah. Yeah. You're right. That is so weird. They're... Yeah. Some of them are just pulled down. Like, they must have been mid renovation.
293
00:39:21.565 --> 00:39:30.870
Yeah. They're like, you know what? Never mind. Yeah. I think you're right. The shower in the basement looked like they were mid reno too. Gonna nope out. Yeah. They're like, nope. It's too spooky. We're out of here. Right. The ghosts got them.
294
00:39:31.190 --> 00:39:38.925
They scared themselves. That graveyard's legit, though. It is. Put some neon lights in. And they and they did a nighttime picture with a fog. Like, it really could be...
295
00:39:39.245 --> 00:40:03.020
It could be an awesome haunted house. It says the space is ready for somebody with a vision. So I think JB pivots to a Halloween themed podcast network. Oh. This is the perfect time of year to do it. You know, Drew and Jackie would love that. I I think they'd be all in. Yep. I think they'd be all in. And They have to be a board of advisers. Now we gotta get some zoning permits, it says, because it doesn't have those ready. You're gonna have to get some permits because it doesn't have those ready, and it does say there's some restrictions and some approvals from the local city council. But
296
00:40:03.579 --> 00:40:11.194
I think we could get that taken care of, we're gonna... We'll make a pod... Haunted podcast studio. That's pretty cool. Two... See, that's what's crazy to me. Right? 225,000
297
00:40:11.194 --> 00:40:14.474
for an entire church Right. With its own graveyard. Yeah.
298
00:40:15.035 --> 00:40:21.700
Or or that tiny little shack for $2.95. It's just It is. It's just absurd. It's bonks is what it is.
299
00:40:28.020 --> 00:40:40.395
Alright. Give us a call, but also go check out the Uplink site. Give us a a note for a future Clanker stream or Linux unplugged. We'll play some of them. We try to play all our voicemails in the launch, but for this, we're probably only gonna play some. We'll see. We'll see. Mhmm. Oh, and I didn't mention
300
00:40:40.635 --> 00:40:52.060
Oh. The best part. Oh, why not? So it's a two minute voice note like we do here on on launch. However, you know how that sometimes doesn't work for people. Right? Can you re up? If you're a member confused. If you're a member, you can extend
301
00:40:52.300 --> 00:40:54.300
for an additional minute. That's
302
00:40:54.300 --> 00:40:59.580
nice. Yeah. So members log in, and they get an additional minute. For Uplink. Don't be confused with things that calling
303
00:40:59.660 --> 00:41:20.890
Nope. The phone number will allow you that. It's only uplink dot jupiter broadcasting dot The phone system doesn't know you're a member. I didn't build that, but we could build this and we could make that work. Yes. So it's neat. I'm really happy it's launched. It took a took a few weeks really of... It's probably one of the more painful software projects I've ever been involved in, and it took way longer than I thought that it would take and all that kind of stuff, which is great. Mhmm.
304
00:41:21.130 --> 00:41:33.610
I'm learning. Yep. I'm learning. And felt like it was done the right way though. So there's that. Okay, Andrew. Well, we're all done here. Mhmm. It's time for us to scoot. So I'll just leave everybody with this. Links to what we talked about are at weeklylaunch.rocks.
305
00:41:34.224 --> 00:41:36.385
