And we're gonna go get side.
Uh,
so I have some,
um,
cool news to share,
which is I got my computer set up to resurrect the tech tree,
so I,
I might start.
So,
uh,
boulders,
tech tree,
yeah,
yeah.
Alright,
so let's go to questions.
Um,
Gran says cheese,
yep,
cheese is always good.
Uh,
I bought a bag of shredd cheese yes,
plans to make some pasta and some cheese.
Uh,
Josh's dog doing?
Well,
um,
the dog
heard me start talking and immediately walking towards.
Towards the front door to bark at it.
Uh,
so I immediately deployed my manoeuvre called Babygate.
It sounds like a Yu Gi Oh card.
I deploy
Baby Gate,
gate,
and I don't know anything about Yu Yuo in defence position
against barking at the door.
Correction,
I know that I have a Yu Gi Oh card in my possession that's worth about 5 bucks,
which is a lot for an individual card,
but not,
not that much.
I also have a magic card worth,
I don't know,
20 bucks or something last time I looked,
the value of it goes down over the years.
Uh,
but again,
to me having the novelty of I have a $20 Magic The Gathering card is always fun.
Friend gave me some baseball cards recently as well,
I should look into those,
see if they're of value.
I feel like
at the end of,
like,
my existence,
I'll probably have like a,
um,
a,
uh,
like framed like collection of expensive cards.
It's like a,
a picture in my apartment or whatever,
right?
It'll just.
Be like
this card was worth $5 this was worth $20
that's like
the amount of money that it's actually worth doesn't matter.
It's just like,
hey,
this piece of cardboard was at some point worth $20.
It's kind of silly.
Moving forward to Compuser who says at
one point you mentioned about something doing,
wanting to use creative days to work on random small
line of bugs that simply haven't got around to.
Do you still plan on doing something like this?
Yeah,
and then.
Every week,
um,
my creative day just turns into like an extension of the rest of the week's work and I,
I,
I don't get anything done.
Uh,
it's like,
it's been a lot.
Like I don't understand
exactly why.
I had some like personal matters to attend to,
etc.
but it's just like crazy,
like it's almost like,
can I just like lie down for a second?
I don't know if I've just done that,
like I woke up a few hours ago,
but like,
hey.
Can I just like lie down again?
Yeah,
we'll,
we'll see what happens.
Uh,
let's take a look at additional questions that we might have.
Uh,
grants,
have you seen the new render that's been
worked on at that moment in rendering discussion?
It seems quite cool.
Uh,
no,
I don't,
I don't keep up with that stuff,
um,
not through lack of interest,
just through lack of like time,
um,
or how many custom renders are being written right now,
but I know it's like more than one,
and so it's very difficult for me to figure out which one we're even talking about.
Which one is this?
New renderer that we're talking about.
Renderri,
got it.
Uh,
this one's fine,
renderide is fine,
but just a quick reminder for those of you that are here,
if you're making a third party,
uh,
ressonite product,
uh,
I don't suggest putting the name ressonite in it,
I suggest putting it in a tagline.
So an example is,
let's say I make a tool which,
I don't know,
does some cool stuff for like
resinite,
right,
but it's not ressonite itself.
I might be tempted to call that like reso cool or resonite cool or,
or resonite tools or something like that.
If it literally has the name Resonant in it,
at some point in the future,
we'll have to trademark violate,
right?
So
instead do
like,
uh,
Gran's avatar tool,
a set of tools for resonate.
Uh,
yeah,
they're all questions,
right.
So what we're gonna do,
um,
for a little while,
whilst I don't have questions is I'm just gonna share my screen and
start rebuilding the tech tree cause I'm never getting your own way.
So,
uh,
keep going,
maybe the tech tree,
when I'm,
I'm,
I'm recreating it will help out.
Um,
as you can see in the bottom,
we have a backup.
And in the top we have what I was able to
uh restore from backups in terms of actual Excalira stuff.
Now I've set up Excali Draw in um my Obsidian
uh
like vault,
which is
like a digital note taking app,
so it's a lot easier to sort of,
uh,
I don't like particularly like how the Excali Drawer plug-in works,
so I've been meaning to look into the source code.
I mean,
you know,
uh,
this IAA button here comes from Excaraer itself,
Obsidian,
but I would like that not to be there.
And then additionally,
I would love this top UI here to be larger,
and in particular this UI over here needs to be larger as well,
uh,
cause like that's how you make a,
um,
a box and then you code here and here's where the settings.
This,
I would love this to be like,
I don't know,
1.5 to 2 times UI scale.
Uh,
so
that's great.
So we'll just kind of have to deal with that.
Uh,
so what we're gonna do here is just,
just focus on a section,
cos otherwise we're gonna,
we're gonna like.
Lose stuff.
But yeah,
keep the questions coming in and I'll answer them as they appear,
uh,
but if you don't have any questions,
uh,
that's fine.
Uh,
additional performance updates,
uh,
Excel,
yeah,
that's that done.
I'll do the faces in like one big block cos
by by that I mean the icon like here we've got this logo,
etc.
I,
I assure you that this is a big image,
it's just rendering blurry for some reason.
This is restart,
render,
crash,
restart.
If you're questioning why I'm doing this,
uh,
yeah,
I,
I lost,
unfortunately I lost,
uh,
the most up to-date version
when I switched over to a new computer.
Uh,
a couple of things were like,
what's the word,
stressful or like confusing or complex,
and in all of that I lost it.
Uh,
like
the way that like audio works in,
in this case is if Discord shows,
then,
uh,
wait,
like
if Discord shows me recording stuff,
there there we go.
Uh,
XO6 Aus,
wait,
so basically any app tool public that has rezo in it will get taken down?
No,
if you have resonate in it.
In,
in,
in the,
uh,
my advice expands to
the prefix reso,
but like that I can't legally,
I can
legally defend it and think with resinite it,
and part of owning a trademark is actually
trying to do that.
And we're not gonna come after you like,
like a bull in a china shop,
it's just like if we own a trademark,
we need to
or
we
lose
the trademark eventually,
uh,
so.
Uh,
if you use resonite,
it might be a problem,
but if you use
reso,
then,
uh,
but like just like be more mandinative with your stuff.
Look at other products
that
aren't in the VR chat world that do similar things.
I say that because the VR chat world has got like a,
if,
if they're like,
I don't know,
like it it it's,
it's not like it,
it
don't,
don't panic.
Just think about it in the future,
right?
If you've got like.
A GitHub repo called like resonite Thing,
that's gonna be fine.
But if you,
if resinite Thing becomes big enough that it needs
resonitething.com,
right,
that might be a problem.
It's just I don't personally recommend doing that.
And if you don't like that,
uh,
I,
I don't know,
go yell at the trademark.
You're not cooked at all,
like,
it really is just like if you are like
accidentally
or intentionally in some cases.
So let you look into like trademark.
Engine,
like all sorts of guidance on that,
you'll,
you'll figure it out.
Uh,
if it's just like a GitHub repo,
uh,
you're gonna,
I would suggest that you fix your audio.
I know you can't help me,
but fix your audio.
Like everyone else can hear me.
It's gotta just renderr's fine,
um,
bunch of others potentially.
Where were we?
Restart render on Crash,
my work.
Yeah,
those are fine.
Those are fine.
I just like it.
It's like,
it's like when you make a,
a product,
right?
So
those aren't a product,
those are just like a GitHub,
but like a product is different.
Trying to think of.
Like a,
a good analogy.
I can't really think of it.
Oh,
actually,
here's a good one.
Apple,
the
company that makes the iPhone,
etc.
they have,
uh,
an app called Apple Maps,
but they didn't always have an app called Apple Maps.
So if,
if someone took it upon them to make a product
called Apple Maps before actually Apple made Apple Maps,
that was like a,
a third-party map application that was designed specifically for Apple devices.
When Apple Maps comes around,
like,
legally speaking,
who owns Apple Maps?
Um,
because Apple is,
you know,
giant and and full of money,
they probably registered
a,
um,
additional,
uh,
like trademark for Apple Maps.
We can licence.
The term as well and that that's like awesome.
So if you've got something that does use our name,
do let us know.
It's just like I'd,
I'd like it,
it,
it's more like if you haven't done it,
don't do it.
If you've done it already,
you're probably fine,
although do keep an eye on your emails because like it
probably won't be me.
This stuff only affects us,
um,
like as we get larger,
um,
cos as we get larger,
like we do have people that will start maliciously camping on our trademark.
And the malicious people who camp on our trademarks
are things like those websites where you can
download the totally not a virus 18+ mod,
you know.
Like those were literally infringing on our trademark,
and so we had to bring those down.
But
if a case like that went towards the court system,
they would be able to say,
hey,
you took down Reza 18+
uh mod.
It's totally not a virus,
but you didn't take down
resonite maps,
which is clearly infringing
on,
um,
our
stuff.
And then,
uh,
I,
I don't know the legalities of it enough,
but
like the courts would be like,
oh,
so you're only defending your trademark when it's an 18+ totally non a virus mod.
Uh,
what is this?
Outperformance updates,
yeah,
yeah.
I don't know,
I don't know how to do the bendy arrows.
See here,
these are like bendy arrows,
like bendy.
Don't,
don't bother renaming us over.
It's so difficult to talk about like legal matters,
but like.
It is something I've noticed where it's like,
hey,
if you're doing a brand new project,
you might as well just like
try not to use the resorb name,
OK?
I'm gonna do the bendy arrows.
That's how I bend them,
I know that,
but like this is like
these are like,
I don't know,
like plumbed arrows,
right?
Or whatever.
The look doesn't matter,
it's just the.
If that still doesn't make sense,
let me know,
I'll write up a wiki page or something.
It's like,
do we need uh huge worlds?
Where did the text go?
Did you see that?
It kind of like just flew,
uh,
bubbles.
Any additional questions,
hopefully not about trademarks,
um.
Um,
Uh,
let me,
let me head over to the resident Wiki tech tree cos
I know there's a higher resolution image of whatever that is.
It's in progress,
whatever,
it's not in progress.
What is?
Oh,
domains.
I don't,
I honestly don't,
uh,
OK,
it's,
you see that again,
the text just like flew down.
Let me see if I can do it again,
didn't do it again.
Just like,
OK,
I can't reproduce the
thing that's happened twice.
Totally not reproducible,
even though it's reproducible.
All right,
those who can hear me
are talking about what I'm talking about.
So if you guys can't,
maybe rejoin the,
the,
the stage.
I'm gonna rejoin the stage just in case.
Alright,
I'm back on stage,
let's see if that's fixed it.
Aren't these all to be smaller,
they're too big.
There we go.
And then
these all come from performance updates,
yeah,
they sure do.
Alright,
we got Zeta reverb,
I,
I saw that one being there,
it's there.
Got additional performance updates.
So like I think it's like safe to,
to say like this area is done,
so I'm gonna go ahead and cover it with like a red circle,
a red red square,
whatever,
and that's this area's done.
No screen share,
of course there's no screen share cos I rejoined the chat.
OK,
so this area's done.
Uh,
what did I do up here?
Oh yeah,
I wanted to make this like a,
a project with this,
and then I did
no doobly doo and I did
renderer
render
er
project
and then that needs to be top of line and this goes in here.
I'll leave that like there for now cos like I don't,
I don't think the,
I just don't wanna do that bit basically.
Um,
alright,
so we've got Jason Protoflux nodes,
uh,
do we have DSP?
We do have DSP OK,
good.
That means I can go ahead and
cover up this area is done.
Follow
physics sweeps,
yep,
physics sweeps,
registration fixes,
yep.
Uh,
actually,
no,
it changed from registration fixes to registration overhaul.
Uh,
yes,
this,
uh,
this board is public.
Uh,
I am resurrecting it though cause I lost a back.
I will get you a link to the current,
uh,
Jay's talking about running 50,000 tests.
Jay,
how many of those tests are.
Just like
silly.
Are you sure?
I guarantee some of them are silly.
Uh,
audio,
OK,
so DSP's done,
collections,
we've got Wazm,
but we need the command over
that kind of goes like
there.
I'm gonna put that there for the moment.
I do,
and I move these down?
Looks like I moved these down,
made this a little smaller,
and then that got stuck there.
Uh,
account page,
uh,
yes,
I have it again.
What?
Hello?
OK.
Uh,
those who can hear me,
please type a chat
that you can hear me,
so I don't scream.
Woo,
woo.
Uh,
try to put some text here.
OK,
hang on a script page,
and then these two linked together like this.
Yeah,
uh,
Linux should be fine with Discord.
Like Linux is like quite good with good.
Discord's just Electron anyway.
If Electron's good,
Linux will be,
uh,
camera,
OK,
I'll need to cover up more.
Is this UI rework better.
Ah,
I see what I did.
Uh,
put this up here.
Let me
select
underneath.
I can't.
Ah,
so you see reset setting buttons and inspectory work
and dark mode everything aren't actually grouped here.
Interesting.
So I should be able to select this,
this,
you know,
multi-select.
I'm very convinced.
We move you down here.
Oh gee,
let's move you down here for a second,
grab these two,
move you over here,
grab this,
put this back.
Again,
grab these two and this.
Guys,
I just grouped,
like I literally just did it.
Ah,
they're probably grouped the wrong way around.
So what's happened here
is the
UI rework
is now inside it,
so I'll fix up those in a moment,
uh,
but I do need another,
give me another box.
Can I have a box?
Let me steal this.
So this is
better space tooling.
I can go in.
So what I'm trying to do is just get the content correct because uh I'll be able to like
uh like lay it out better later.
OK,
session UI dark mode everything,
camera streaming like,
oh I see what happened.
So to give myself more room here,
I moved
this over here
and then I expanded this,
oh.
OK,
yeah,
that's not right,
but I'm gonna go ahead and call the inventory rework done.
Take a nice red square,
put that over.
Now the event stuff is done,
but I don't like where this is,
like where this is located,
it's,
there's just not enough room,
so I'm gonna put it down there for the moment,
uh,
but again we can get a red square and cover that one.
Devices and peripherals is done,
so a red square,
cover that.
Yeah,
Jay writes YAL,
uh,
I also write YAL right now,
you can ask square about that.
Uh,
but,
uh,
I.
I say recently,
I was like,
uh,
Yamel Engineering.
To expand on that a little bit,
uh,
yesterday I got unblocked by corporate security at one of our
business clients to deploy a flat car Linux instance to an Azure
headless,
um,
sorry,
an Azure VM
in
the Azure cloud that is designed to run headless instances.
But the way that we're doing that
is by using flat car Linux to,
uh,
run Docker compose file.
So
the instant's booted,
so there is actually a headless VM running
in the Azure cloud for this corporate client,
and it doesn't do anything.
There's something wrong with the flat uh configuration,
but to figure out what's wrong,
I have to connect to it.
And to connect to it,
I have to go through a bunch of
corporate security stuff that I don't really understand.
Uh,
for anyone who is wondering,
um.
Je bastion or something.
I've gotta like learn what that is and uh and take a look.
Uh I'm trying to
change the quality of my shared screen cos it doesn't need to be
60 FP maybe they'll like honestly 30 FPS at 1080 will be absolute,
yeah,
like
Bastion is like a uh,
I mean they,
they,
they label it as like security etc.
but effectively it's just sort of like a,
a jump post,
right,
instead of
connecting directly to the VM you go through Bastion,
Bastion.
Um,
has additional security requirements and,
and controls on it that make it like security,
more security,
yay,
uh,
but then the other side of Bastion is it'll
just give you an SSH connection to the surface,
it's like that's exactly what I need.
Uh,
so I've gotta learn how well that works today.
Do we have additional questions?
Kinda wanna get this area done.
Measuring terrain,
animation,
timeline,
molecule,
yeah,
that area's done.
What about here?
I don't see,
oh,
I do,
it's right here.
I'm gonna move that out from this area
cause,
uh,
I don't know,
it feels like we need like a cloud area here,
you know.
I'll group it by like category at some point,
but it looks like,
looks like this entire area,
so we're just expand this to the hard permissions,
text-based script,
yeah,
that's all done.
Can we not talk about trademarks again?
I'll write,
a wiki page.
Yes,
if you've just joined,
you'll have to listen to the recording,
which admittedly I haven't published,
but I'm on a new computer
that I've been on for like a month and a half,
but still not finished setting up,
which is exactly why I wanted to use Nick OS,
right,
cos like every single setup operation that I did,
I would effectively only have to do
one,
right?
I,
like,
let's say,
oh I need like obsidian installed,
I would just add
like
Nix OS Obsidian,
blah blah blah blah blah blah,
and then it'd be done.
And I would never have to do it again.
Yeah,
uploading my shit requires me to install
Node JS
and then rummage through my old hard drive,
which is currently plugged into one of those like toaster
things,
uh,
find the,
the node script to do some MPM installing,
and then find some credentials and stuff.
Do I have rigid body physics somewhere?
I sure do.
OK.
I think we're all done,
like,
I think that part's just done,
so I'm gonna just go bloop,
and a million.
OK,
cool.
I know there's lots to do here,
but I do want to abridge this causes lots of this was just me talking.
And I made a bunch more like stuff.
Uh
oh,
do we have wiki stuff?
We do have wiki stuff.
Uh we've got a bunch of like stuff that's actually just done,
like advanced search is done,
so
I kinda like don't need to cover it.
Cloud voice clude fle clude flare
support
isn't done though,
so that can go in there
and that means this area.
We get in there.
Let's double check performance updates.
Uh,
audio rework,
audio,
particles of photo dust,
mesh upload,
multipresses.
To the split.
Oh,
we do have like performance bug fixes as well,
let's do
like,
oh no,
no,
uh,
it's kind of done,
but I'm gonna leave it there cos we,
we do work on them like splitting code along that can go now.
Alright,
cloud spawning,
PBS shaded consolidation,
low motion mode.
You know,
PBS shadder consolidation,
I'm actually unfortunately gonna have to zip back to yellow,
um,
and I'm gonna put it up by the new renderer,
um,
it doesn't make sense where it was.
Uh,
low motion mode official clouds,
official cloud spawning low motion mode.
OK,
so that area's done.
I think help tab was done cos I saw.
A bunch of stuff there,
yep,
I did.
And then,
oh,
tutorials.
Now,
Avatar
World,
I put gazebo,
gazebo,
gazebo.
Sure,
whatever.
Uh,
that's
done,
green tutorials are actually we're doing that now.
Uh,
no,
the second one,
not the top one.
Only the UI scale was huge and I'd be able to see that.
Do I have news facet?
I do not have news facet.
Uh,
help tab,
boil you in,
OK,
that's all done.
Uh,
this is all.
This actually didn't take that long.
I thought it would take like an hour or so.
They can like bare.
Half an hour,
I couldn't start immediately.
That's done.
So,
I'll put that in there.
I'm honestly not even gonna cover any of this.
I will put like the end goals in there,
uh,
so we can get,
can I edit the text,
please?
Please,
let me edit the text.
LDA stroke,
uh,
Active Directory.
I do Active Directory cos not many people know what LDAP is.
Um,
LDA's just like an open
protocol for doing Active Directory style stuff.
Uh,
let me put business obelisk in.
Oh,
also there's March date.
It's no longer March,
like,
uh,
the person who set the March deadline left the company,
so this,
so the March deadline just kind of got like got deleted.
That was fun.
Um,
held up Active Directory,
uh,
MS,
uh,
learning
management system integration.
This is done now.
No,
the second one,
although this is,
uh,
automated
headless
instance,
which is what I'm.
Currently doing?
No,
there we go.
See if anything else is relevant here.
Your display names is relevant.
Do we have it?
We do.
Uh,
oh,
we'll put document sharing in if it's not there already.
That is yellow cos no one's working on it.
Fuck,
I do that like every single time.
There we go.
Uh uh
let's do,
uh,
better group.
All of these are done,
right,
so I'm,
I'm not gonna re-add them.
They're basically covered under this.
Uh,
group management's covered,
meetings.
Product demos,
yeah,
that's,
that's all covered,
it's not actually stuff I need to work on.
Universe settings,
uh,
so universe to universe connection stroke sessions is like,
OK,
so universes are meant to,
they're meant to isolate
the um session to be like,
you know,
only this universe can access this session,
but what we wanna do eventually is like,
hey,
maybe
this universe is doing like a,
a show and tell or something,
and so they want a session that's open to like every universe or
certain universes so there can be cross collaboration.
Uh,
I wouldn't use the word federation because that,
uh,
like refers much more commonly to like a specific set of technologies these days,
and we wouldn't be doing that.
Uh,
the,
like the,
the business
like language behind it would be like,
uh,
tenants,
uh,
a multi-tenant architecture.
Uh,
we kind of do have that with universes,
but it's not
like the,
the,
like it's,
I wouldn't call it multi-tenant right now because there isn't.
Isn't enough control like the here,
here,
stuff like that and this.
uh so this is
uh how do I word it,
cos I noticed it wasn't there.
uh video streaming,
screen sharing,
yep
uh video streaming,
not green.
Uh,
which leads to
screen sharing,
cos that'll be over video,
which leads to browser sharing.
I'm not the only one seeing that
text like fly top right every time I do that.
Yep,
there we go.
I'm gonna call that down.
Obviously I need to like tidy up the,
uh,
pictures and stuff like that,
but I can,
I can do that
much faster offline.
Like put on some like
heavy metal,
some techno,
or maybe some YouTube videos and just like do all the pictures and,
and align stuff correctly.
I'm gonna add,
uh,
now that we've kind of realised like,
hey,
we don't need that moderation plugin,
to,
to give you um the background on this,
the wiki,
it used to be that like to make an edit on the wiki,
your first edit,
you had to be sort of cleared by a set of moderators.
Uh,
we had like 2 or 3 people that were able to do it
and it just became a pain,
right,
cos no one understood why they couldn't edit the wiki
or why the wiki wouldn't work when they edited it,
uh,
despite the fact that I put documentation literally everywhere.
Um,
about how that all worked.
So I was like,
well,
what if we just remove it?
And we did remove it,
and we have had a couple of scammers,
um,
and spammers,
but like we can handle those with like a,
a different solve,
like a solve that isn't making it difficult for legitimate,
uh,
editors,
a solve that's making it
difficult for malicious editors.
Unfortunately,
like an easy solution for that right now would be to be
blocking Russian domains which may come up with a problem.
Let's say there's like a,
a Russian group that plays resume and they want to
link to.
Group,
etc.
but when that does happen,
I can just be like,
yo,
I'll,
I'll let that particular domain in
and uh once we figure out like a better restriction there,
like,
all right,
do we have any additional questions?
Uh,
yes,
Cerave,
I've read your issue asking for
interface editor.
I just have not had time to get to it.
I,
I was like waiting yesterday I was waiting for
uh approval to run Flat Car Linux,
and once that approval hit,
it was time to go to bed,
um.
In the gaps,
I rewrote the internal documentation for the team that
we have and all of the bot commands.
Like you guys have bot command stuff on the wiki,
but there's a bunch of internal bot commands that
only team members can use that was only
documented like sparsely and wasn't up to date,
so I,
I,
I fixed that up.
It was actually a request from
the same corporate client I was waiting for.
So I was able to
extract worth from their
purses
by updating.
In our internal documentation
to
turn off my night film.
I might just uninstall.
I'm just like adding profile pictures now,
that's what we're doing.
OK,
Cyro,
that's interesting.
Uh,
who else do I need?
I need Bob.
I definitely need,
I'm not doing Git,
Git doesn't be needed.
If he is,
I'll,
I'll grab him when he's needed.
And there's Grdley.
Whoa,
I clicked the wrong.
Alright,
that should do.
No,
that,
that's fine,
just that,
that's fine.
The impersonation thing is if you like
pretend to be staff more active than that,
you're,
you're fine,
don't worry,
don't worry about it.
Uh,
half people's badges have resonate with them,
half,
that's fine,
it's visually distinctive.
You haven't like fake given yourself the yellow text,
etc.
You're,
you're fine.
Uh,
OK,
so those are the pictures.
I will,
um,
add those to various locations
off camera,
yes,
uh,
need a logo for the GI community,
that's the one.
Alright,
there we go.
I got the tech tree
sorted.
So here,
because this is,
uh,
now in Obsidian and it's using the Excali draw thing,
over here I have things like export image.
Etc.
and this is already backed up,
and not only is it backed up,
it's backed up as a dotexcaliraw file
to my backup solution because it's within my obsidian vault,
which is automatically backed up.
So is,
is CIDC CD fun?
Uh,
yes,
when it works.
Fun when it works,
yeah.
Oh,
it,
it gets better
when
you start having like Lego bricks of stuff that you can do,
which is something that,
um,
Jay's actually doing,
and Jay's doing a great job at it.
Um,
so
I don't remember if the repo is like open source or not,
so I might be talking out my.
But I'll take a look.
Yeah,
here we are.
Oh,
there we go,
Jay Jay linked to it,
yeah.
Compulsite actions,
so those are like Lego bricks for CI
and what we can do
is we can basically put them together,
and the more blocks we write,
the faster our CI work gets.
So a great example right now,
which I guess like,
oh,
there we go,
we can put this in here,
uh,
CI stroke
CD and then here we can have
something which Jay is working on,
which is an
R2
action.
Cloud flare,
might as well put GitHub on the front there.
Uh,
oh yeah,
GitHub
wants you to make sure that the H is capitalised for branding and
so what's happening right now is that
usually,
uh,
usually when CICD runs on GitHub,
artefacts,
which are basically just like binary objects that are created as part of the,
the,
uh,
CICD runner,
are being stored in GitHub,
and that costs money.
Uh,
but it's essentially just like file storage.
So,
uh,
much to our,
our.
approach of just shoving everything in cloudlare R2.
We're like,
hey,
what if you stored artefacts in cloudflare R2?
It's getting to the point with like
how
easy to use and how,
uh,
cheap compared to other options
R2 is.
I'm like,
does R2 make sense for my personal backups?
I don't know.
Maybe like one
location for,
cause like,
if you put data into R2 and then you don't touch it,
it's like really cheap.
What I wanna get set up and I need to look into providers more,
is,
you know,
those like glacial
backup solution.
Solutions.
Those are where like you put,
it's really cheap to store data but it costs money to retrieve it.
I wanna do that for most of my backups cos like I,
I don't need the stuff I back up.
I do know that I need to move off of,
of Google,
cos,
you know,
Google's increasing price,
etc.
One of the things I'm trying to figure out though is
if I move off of Google for my main,
like,
you know,
my main email domain,
my personalised email domain,
what happens to all the websites that I've used to
sign in with Google on with that email domain?
Do they still work?
Cause if they don't,
that's a.
Problem,
cos if they don't work,
what I'm gonna have to do is before I move my email off of Google,
I'm gonna have to go through all of the applications that I've,
I'm doing that with.
No,
I don't think,
I think the,
I think I might actually,
I'm not sure.
Like the email address would still exist,
so
nothing materialistically would like change,
like,
like all the providers,
bills,
you know,
um,
newsletters,
whatever would still email the same email address,
it would just end up going to a different location.
Relating to Google accounts and stuff,
I thought I'd lost my gaming channel.
Did you know I have a gaming channel?
Gaming channel segue.
Uh,
I thought I'd lost access to my YouTube gaming channel
because I couldn't remember which email account it was on.
And so I tried to log into,
I used to have two Google accounts on the same email,
uh,
just for like separation of concerns,
etc.
but,
uh,
once Google introduced pricing for even like the bare minimum Google accounts.
Uh,
I was like,
oh,
I'm not paying for two accounts.
So I,
I deactivated that one account.
And then when I tried to sign in to YouTube and find my gaming channel,
I was like,
where is it?
It must be on that second account.
So I tried to log into that second account and Google was like,
that account's been deactivated.
So I reactivated it,
which means that this month I'm paying double
what I should be paying for Google Workspace.
And I'm like,
oh,
it's not on that Google account.
It's on an older Google account that isn't even like custom.
It's like an at gmail.com.
So I have now found my gaming channel again and I've given my
existing YouTube account,
which is the one I log in with Google that causes the problem.
I gave it access to my gaming account,
so now I,
I have access to the gaming channel back in.
I'll link the gaming channel in
the,
in,
in the chat,
uh,
no,
no pressure.
I need to move that deadlock clip that I put on my
um
primary account.
I
also need to finish uploading my expedition 33 playthrough.
Uh,
I don't know why I didn't do that,
but that's cool,
that's like the,
it's like a hard drive I've got on my desk
which has like most of that playthrough on it,
and it's a lot of data,
so I've gotta get that.
I just need to ram content into that channel.
Like,
OK,
so like I'm gonna,
uh here's.
Like law,
all right,
you ready for some law,
some prime law here.
The entire reason that I sit
with you today in this location
in America,
Washington state,
is due to a series of events
that I can trace back to
my desire to be a Twitch streamer.
I can trace it all the way back.
Are you,
are you ready to hear the journey?
OK.
So I used to work from home for a motor sports um software company
and working from home that day and age,
this is like way before COVID,
um,
was kind of like lonely,
right?
And I'm like,
well,
you know,
I could,
I could try streaming I guess,
I've got all these like Xbox games.
And so I,
I bought like a capture card,
I've got it somewhere still,
it's like a really old capture card though,
it's is not good these days.
And I started streaming
and the like streaming group of people that I fell into,
like the what what what this day would be like a Twitch team
like that I fell into,
they were frustrated with Twitch.
I can't remember why cos it was a long time ago.
I know why everyone's frustrated with Twitch these days,
but I don't remember
why they were frustrated with Twitch back in the day.
And they were like,
we're gonna check out this other.
Streaming platform called Beam.
Let's stream on Beam.
Let's,
let's go,
let's try Beam out.
And then they were like,
but all of my tools don't work,
so they have like boss and like utilities and stuff like that.
They didn't work
for Beam because Beam used different chat.
So I ended up in the developer conversation chat channel for
Beam,
asking questions about their API.
Uh,
and then
they announced,
uh,
a competition on Beam,
and it was like,
here's our competition,
uh,
do something with our new API,
win up to 500 bucks.
Guess who won $500.
Uh,
and then
from winning that they were like,
hey,
do you wanna come work for us,
and I was like,
hey,
yeah,
sure.
And then they said,
hey,
you OK with us like being acquired by Microsoft?
I'm like,
yeah,
sure.
Like,
hey,
do you wanna move to America and Microsoft will pay for it?
Oh,
sure.
So like here I am today,
right?
Um,
so.
Uh,
that was the like original,
like,
you know,
20,
I wanna say like 2016 Prime.
Wanted to be like a,
a content creator on,
on Twitch,
like I wanted to just play games.
So I,
I might try doing that again,
just like go live.
I don't expect anyone to watch me,
but I just like,
I like,
I don't know.
It's easier for me to enjoy and focus on larger games like RPGs or you name it,
right?
Crimson Desert is a good example.
Crimson Desert released a couple of days ago.
I looked at that and I was like that's definitely something I would have to stream.
Not cos I want to stream it,
but because if I didn't stream it,
I would have like some YouTube video and in
the corner and I wouldn't be paying attention.
I'd just be,
it's easier to focus.
Do you have any additional questions?
We're getting to the top of the hour.
Um,
I will clean this up,
uh,
but the cleaning up is gonna be grunt work,
right?
It's gonna be like,
oh,
this arrow isn't straight.
I want this arrow to be straight.
Let me do,
yay,
OK,
that looks better.
Oh,
it's still not straight though.
Let's move them really close to each other.
There we go.
That's probably still not straight,
but it'll do.
I'll just be doing that for hours.
I guess seeing as they're like relatively new boxes,
we can
go ahead and and and chuck Jay's icon down here.
I wanna make a key as well,
right,
so I wanna like arrange these like more
like in a grid and then put the name next to them
like that.
Don't screenshot this out of context.
Do you have any additional questions,
or did I miss any questions?
I only see like,
oh,
Grant has knopp it.
OK,
I,
I got it.
I got one for you.
I don't remember what it is,
but I just need to sit and think for a second.
OK,
bills,
right?
I sign up for paperless billing
wherever the,
wherever the hell I can.
I'm like,
paperless billing.
Do not send me mail.
It does like,
especially when it's a bill,
it doesn't make sense.
Do not
send me mail.
My.
Medical insurance and my dental insurance,
which is separate for historical,
uh,
in terms of like establishment of the country,
for historical reasons,
but
both of those companies refuse to do paperless billing.
So every month they send me an envelope which has the same three pieces of paper in it.
It has
the bill,
a page in like a million languages,
like all the languages in the world,
which talks about how to access the bill if you
don't speak the language that the bill is in.
And then uh
another sheet of paper on the back of that,
which is like a privacy declaration or something like that.
So
every month they send me 3 pieces of paper,
and 2 companies send it to me,
and the amount never changes,
and it's all on autopay,
so I,
I just,
I don't need the paperwork.
It just goes in a pile and then I shred it.
But I have to open each one just to double check it isn't something else,
right?
So there's a pile
in like my paper management system,
it's just like an in-tray
of just
opened.
Bills that say the exact same thing.
I don't bother shredding the language
sheet
or the privacy declaration sheet,
but I do shred the bill.
So I have to,
like,
split them apart,
just bin the ones that aren't personally identifiable the information,
and then put the bill into my shred pile.
And then periodically,
I have to sit there and shred stuff,
and when I do that,
my dog is just,
like,
terrified.
It's
cowering in the bedroom.
It's this,
like,
angry machine in the,
in the,
in
the living room.
is going like
I don't usually scan stuff as well and I try and keep myself limited to paperwork.
My,
um,
my usual like mentality on that is the company that sent
me the paperwork probably has better records than I do.
Didn't used to be the case.
That's why you kept more paperwork like
historically because everything was in paper,
paper would be lost,
etc.
But now there's like regulations and legislation and also stuff like that.
Like you,
the company probably has your paperwork.
Sorted better than you do,
but yeah,
there we go.
I'm gonna go ahead and leave off here,
if you've got any additional questions,
you know where to ask them.
I will be back next week,
maybe with a better tech tree or maybe I'll forget,
I don't know.
What I'm gonna do now when I hit,
like,
leave,
is I'm gonna save the recording so I don't forget,
put it on my desktop,
which guilt trips me into updating,
uploading it,
even though I haven't uploaded it.
Uh,
and then I'm gonna take the dog for a walk,
and then I've got to figure out how Azure bastian.
If anyone knows Azure bastian,
hit me up in DMs.
I'll speak to you guys.
