61 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,040 And it turns out there is a ton of services 62 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,600 that you can run on old devices and a ton of light tooling 63 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,800 that already exists on your computer, 64 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,000 but I think sometimes we lose track of, 65 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,440 or lose sight of what we already have 66 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,880 because we're always trying to chase after something new. 67 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,120 And this is related to the rising costs 68 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,680 of consumer technology. 69 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,960 So right now obviously, 70 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,480 every costs are through the roof for RAM, hard drives, 71 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,280 and I would foresee this impacting everything, the cost 72 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,840 of using a virtual server and the cloud will go up, 73 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,760 domains will go up, everything's gonna go up 74 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,440 just because once costs go up, 75 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,000 all services will go up, 76 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,600 which I think makes it even more important 77 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,480 to kind of try to make use of the tooling we already have. 78 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,560 Was also thinking of the recent cloud failure outages 79 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,400 that is a hugely popular service, 80 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,640 but it does give a more renewed interest 81 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:20,320 in local first alternatives, which we're gonna get into. 82 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,960 So this also relates to me digging into my old computers 83 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,000 out of the drawer to replace my laptop, 84 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,600 which broke down and my server that broke down 85 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,920 to just get work done and learn about offline tooling. 86 00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:35,280 Obviously, it worked really well, 87 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,400 'cause I've been having such a great time working on projects. 88 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,760 I was like, oh man, I gotta get back on the podcast. 89 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,280 So this is the kind of thing we're gonna touch base on, 90 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,680 autonomy, resilience, and just simple solutions. 91 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,680 So let's talk about some of the tooling 92 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,360 that I've found makes offline workflows, 93 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,520 not just possibility, but actually super duper productive. 94 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,120 We're gonna begin with a desktop application. 95 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,120 The question is in how few steps 96 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,720 can I get a minimally viable system? 97 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,760 So I'm going to recommend a tool I've mentioned before 98 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,920 on the show, which I now realize I've been using for three years, 99 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,320 and I've really expanded my use of it substantially. 100 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,120 That's KDE Connect. 101 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,040 KDE Connect is a tool that you can install on Windows, 102 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:27,040 Mac, Linux, iPads, iOS, Android, all these things. 103 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,000 There's also a GS Connect complete implementation for GNOME 104 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,400 if you want that. 105 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,400 KDE Connect is a crazy useful tool. 106 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,800 In fact, it is probably the most useful tool 107 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,600 that I use on any machine. 108 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,320 Why? Well, it's once you dig into the settings. 109 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,280 So first, you install KDE Connect, 110 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:47,880 to connect over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 111 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,680 or even things like VPNs, it doesn't matter. 112 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,040 You install it on phones, laptops. 113 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,880 This also means you could install it on grandma's phone, 114 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,720 or your kid's phone as a way to connect to them, 115 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,080 locally and through VPNs, or while you're on a hike, anything. 116 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,040 So you can do things like send a ping to find a device. 117 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,600 Even better, you can ring that device. 118 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,600 So it has that iCloud, like find my iPhone functionality in it. 119 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,000 You can also allow it to do media control, 120 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,400 which means it'll show on a lock screen of the phone, 121 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,400 media playback, not only for your phone, 122 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,840 but for other connected devices, 123 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:28,240 like your laptop or a movie you're watching. 124 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,920 And you can see from your lock screen or otherwise, 125 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,120 volume controls and you can even manipulate those. 126 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,760 You can manipulate playback, you can pause. 127 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,320 You can share your clipboard between all your devices. 128 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,840 You can also share files, 129 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:46,280 which means that Kati Connect works as a basic sync tool, 130 00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:50,480 as a basic one-way sync, or you can even browse a file system 131 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,920 over SFTP. 132 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,220 Once you dig into plugging settings, 133 00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:55,320 then you're gonna start to see more 134 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,200 of this remote control functionality, 135 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,320 multimedia playback, but when it really blows up, 136 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,360 is once you start experimenting with the telephony options. 137 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,360 The first thing you have that's super useful is text messages. 138 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,840 So for example, SMS text messages, 139 00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:15,240 but also other chat services you're running on your devices, 140 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,360 like signal and whatever other chat you run. 141 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,160 So suddenly, not only your phone, but your computer, 142 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,960 we'll see these notifications, 143 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,120 and the actual text messages coming in, 144 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,800 both through something like signal, 145 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,200 as well as SMS simultaneously, 146 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,760 you can respond to them, 147 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,480 and you can respond without picking up your device. 148 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,080 So suddenly, you're able to respond to text messages, 149 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,960 and to phone calls, you can see, you know, 150 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,560 moms trying to call you while you're on your work machine, 151 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,160 but you get that important notification, 152 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,440 which is someone's trying to call you. 153 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,600 Once you're on the call, 154 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,480 your device is all work as controllers, 155 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,160 and they'll do things like, 156 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,360 when I receive a call in my device, 157 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,360 please, you know, pause the video I'm watching, 158 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,040 all of that will be handled through Kati Connect. 159 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,560 So you can manage multiple audio solutions simultaneously 160 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,840 through it as a send and receive option. 161 00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:10,800 You can also get notifications like battery levels. 162 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,840 So if you have forgotten to charge your phone, 163 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,240 Kati Connect will tell you, which is amazing. 164 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,200 Once again, you have the ability to ring your phone. 165 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,280 So if you need to go out the door and you can't find it, 166 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,080 you click ring my phone, 167 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,800 or you can look at the connection status. 168 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,320 If you're connected, that's a way to know that locally, 169 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,560 the device is nearby, if it's connected to your laptop, 170 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,240 then of course it's in vicinity. 171 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,960 And overall, this just makes this such a great tool 172 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,360 because it will work even without Wi-Fi 173 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,840 or without internet, over Bluetooth. 174 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,000 And it's a great backup sync solution, 175 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,080 a great fallback tool, 176 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,040 or it's great as the very first tool you run, 177 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,120 because once you're running Kati Connect, 178 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,320 you can then send yourself your password, 179 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,520 send yourself your password files, 180 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,640 or send a photo to someone else, 181 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,640 even in a remote solution capacity like on a hike once off. 182 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,960 So all you have to do is have it installed, 183 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,720 and then whenever you want to, 184 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,840 you can fall back to it. 185 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,320 So I think it's a great starting tool for anyone, 186 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,040 plus it gives you that seamless experience 187 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,920 that's not normally associated with Linux, 188 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,880 it's more associated with something like the Apple Services. 189 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,400 So Kati Connect is an easy recommendation, 190 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,120 especially if you dig into plug-in settings, 191 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,440 and I'll leave my notes for this on the forum 192 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,600 at discuss.livingcartoon.org. 193 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,520 Now at this point, you might be thinking, 194 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,680 James, this is great and all, 195 00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,080 but I'm worried about my local network. 196 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,320 Like my local network is not online, 197 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,520 or it's not available. 198 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,720 I'm glad you mentioned that, 199 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,520 because I just had extensive experience with this myself 200 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,960 of running local DNS. 201 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,000 So by local DNS, we're talking about the local domain name 202 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,200 services that you're connecting to. 203 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,200 And normally with a router, 204 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,120 when you connect to the internet, 205 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,600 that router connects up to your ISP, right? 206 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,280 And it's connecting to no-name, known services, 207 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,720 like Google and Cloudflare, 208 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,500 they're using things like 8888, 209 00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:20,760 but there's also publicly provided DNS 210 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,920 from groups like Quad9 at 999.99, 211 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,640 which is just as fast, honestly, 212 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,720 as Google and Cloudflare, it works awesome. 213 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,360 And those are options. 214 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,320 So that's one option, 215 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,240 is to connect to something like Quad9, 216 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,560 'cause you wanna use a non-proprietary sort of way 217 00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:43,240 to connect up to DNS, right? 218 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,280 But whether you trust Quad9 as a group out of the Switzerland 219 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,200 or Cloudflare or whatever, it doesn't really matter, 220 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,040 'cause there's no guarantee that they'll be up 221 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,520 as we know, 'cause Cloudflare went down. 222 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,260 So I think one thing we've talked in the past 223 00:09:57,260 --> 00:10:00,600 about in the show is add blocking over DNS. 224 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,480 But the truth is, even that is kind of missing the point 225 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,360 of what we need in local network resilience. 226 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,840 What we need is we need local DNS. 227 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,480 So we're talking about Unbound, DNS mask, 228 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,240 and local resolvers. 229 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,840 Like there's one built into the pie hole, 230 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,760 but also Unbound itself can always be plugged in 231 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,320 to your add blocking software. 232 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,280 But it's Unbound or a similar recursive DNS tool 233 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,220 that is the key. 234 00:10:27,220 --> 00:10:33,200 So why is local DNS specifically local DNS caching so useful? 235 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:40,120 Well, we've got first we've got the traditional DNS forerunner 236 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,520 built into the home router, 237 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,960 which is every time you need something, 238 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,360 you look to the ISP. 239 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,440 But as we know sometimes, the ISP might not be online, 240 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,720 which is why we look for a tool like Unbound, 241 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,320 which has been around for decades, 242 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,760 as a fully recursive DNS resolver with local caching. 243 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,160 Why does that matter? 244 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,240 Because local DNS means you don't even have to reach 245 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,480 to the sky, you don't have to reach to Cloudflare 246 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,320 or anything 'cause first you're looking locally. 247 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,120 At what you've already cached, this means more speed, 248 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,840 more privacy, more control, and more reliability. 249 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,760 Local DNS will work even when DNS itself 250 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,320 is offline at a higher level, okay? 251 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,880 Local caching means instantaneous responses, 252 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,520 there isn't a wait time because you're not asking the Cloud, 253 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:29,760 you're locally checking. 254 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,640 This also means that no Cloud type service 255 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,560 can ever know all of your DNS queries 256 00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:37,240 because those that are result locally 257 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,720 are not submitted to the Cloud. 258 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,880 So it's only using the forward or as needed. 259 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,320 This is great, the caches themselves super tiny, 260 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,200 flushed often and they work really well on weak hardware. 261 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,000 It means fewer middlemen to get your DNS results. 262 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,880 This also means you're gonna be able to resolve domains 263 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,880 even though services are down outside of your home network. 264 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:09,360 Great, so faster, more private, more productive. 265 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,680 Unbound has the ability to query multiple authoritative servers. 266 00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:15,720 This means that you can be using local services 267 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,160 in addition to outside forward or services, 268 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,800 and you can put all of these into a service 269 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,120 like Unbound or DNS masks. 270 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,840 So I'm using Unbound obviously, 271 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,080 but if you're using Unbound, there's no reason 272 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,200 you can't connect it to your ad blocking services. 273 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,960 Let's get really straightforward and non-sexy 274 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,520 about what ad blocking is actually doing at the DNS level. 275 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,880 All ad blocking is doing is it is sending that DNS request 276 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,760 to zero dot zero dot zero dot zero. 277 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,560 So it's sending it into a null space. 278 00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,800 That's all it's doing, which means there's nothing wrong 279 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,880 with setting up a local DNS cache, 280 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,880 which also supports things like ad blocking to zero, zero, zero. 281 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,560 It's all wraps together quite nicely. 282 00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:05,880 And then even divide IP ranges to say, 283 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,640 I want everybody at dot o dot one, 284 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,080 up through say 100 to connect over Unbound. 285 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,280 And then I want anyone aesthetically assigned 286 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,880 above that range to go through my ad blocking. 287 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:22,800 That's one option. 288 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,960 And works great. 289 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,000 So let's see, what are we talking about? 290 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,480 By using local DNS, we're adding no ISP DNS logging, right? 291 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,480 For any local inquiries, 292 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,800 you can add DNS-sec validation to protect against spoofing 293 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,960 and other kinds of man in the middle attacks. 294 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,680 It also allows you to add additional levels 295 00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:52,560 of hardening to your networking at the DNS level. 296 00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:56,240 This is all stuff that routers probably do not support 297 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,800 and it's not hard to set up, which is great. 298 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,360 So now you've given yourself a level of resilience 299 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,640 in local DNS caching, where even if your ISP is down 300 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,120 or your DNS is down, 301 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,280 you're still gonna be able to locally resolve DNS entries 302 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,960 using Unbound. 303 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,000 So super useful and you're gonna query everything faster. 304 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,800 So it's both private and faster, which is awesome. 305 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,200 And you can always customize it to taste. 306 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,440 So Unbound is a great service. 307 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,040 And I definitely noticed the difference in using it 308 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,040 when I turned it off. 309 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,440 There's notably longer response times to use foreworders out. 310 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,680 It doesn't matter whether it's to quad nine or quad flare 311 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,280 or whatever versus handling everything locally. 312 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:43,000 So definitely recommend local caching from DNS mask 313 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,320 or Unbound or using a resolver in something like Pyhole. 314 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,720 Bottom line, if you set up local recursive DNS, 315 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,760 you will get a benefit in speed, in privacy. 316 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,320 And in a way that's totally transparent, 317 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,320 you can still forward all your results out 318 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,440 to the same service you were using before. 319 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,480 Shout out to that service. 320 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,480 It's an unsung hero of performance and privacy. 321 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,600 And I think it's not necessarily cool 322 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,320 because everybody wants it to be related to a service. 323 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,040 But the truth is is you can run Unbound by itself 324 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,960 and add a service at your leisure 325 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,640 and you're gonna be happy no matter what. 326 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,680 In case you're curious about how you personally 327 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,400 would respond to something like local connectivity issues, 328 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,280 I've set up some challenges on the forum 329 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,440 at discuss.livingcartoon.org that I'll link to. 330 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,160 And I started with five that you can try at home right now 331 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,400 to see how your system reacts 332 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,240 when you lose connectivity, lose a file, folder, 333 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,200 and how that goes for you. 334 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,680 So you can try this up for yourself 335 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,120 and kind of come up with your own solutions. 336 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,520 I'm also building out a doku wiki to be used for the show. 337 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,520 It's at wiki.livingcartoon.org. 338 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,800 And that's designed so that not only can people 339 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,880 take challenges, but they can write their own. 340 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,960 Doku wiki itself is entirely based out of files and folders, 341 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:10,800 which is great. 342 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,280 And it also aligns with the forum, 343 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,560 which is built on parent and child tags. 344 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,960 So my intention is to start relaying all of the data 345 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,720 from the show into the wiki as an experiment, 346 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,600 but also a way to be focused on simple files and folders 347 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,720 for organizing and building up show content 348 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,600 and user content as well. 349 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,280 So feel free to join the forum. 350 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,680 If you do, you'll also gain access 351 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,800 to a lot of internal documentation. 352 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,760 Because a lot of the posts I'm doing there 353 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,840 are now things like that are works in progress 354 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,880 and also projects that I don't necessarily want to announce 355 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,320 on the show, but I'm working on for the future. 356 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,000 But you'll gain access to those by joining the forum 357 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,040 or the wiki as it develops. 358 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,600 So you can check all that stuff out. 359 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:02,480 And I am planning in relation to talking about these kinds 360 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,920 of services a gear exchange for Linux Fest Northwest, 361 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,920 which is coming up April 26th and 24th and 26 weekend. 362 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,800 And if you're going to be there and you want to join the forum, 363 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,280 I've put up a basic, there's a few o-droides 364 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,960 that I have from back in the day that you can have. 365 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,280 There's no cost associated with it. 366 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,680 They're not going to be for sale. 367 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,720 I just want to know if somebody would be interested 368 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,000 in having one. 369 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,440 And I also have a list of a 100 services 370 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,440 that you could run on even 32-bit, super low-end devices 371 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,480 that would work great. 372 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,160 I, of course, don't mean that you're going to run 373 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,120 all 100 services, but you might be able to run one, 374 00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:49,600 two, or even three services on them. 375 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,920 Especially if you're just doing it locally for fun. 376 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,120 I've been doing it for years, and I don't see any reason 377 00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:56,960 why you can't as well. 378 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,920 So there's a ton of options out there. 379 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,760 They all work awesome. 380 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,960 And if you're interested in getting a single-board device 381 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,320 'cause things are crazy right now, 382 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,960 I am willing to give some away. 383 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,080 And I'm assuming some of you out there might also have devices 384 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,960 that, you know, you've always thought that would be cool, 385 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,040 but then you just don't use them and they're in a drawer. 386 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,080 Well, maybe if you're going to be at Linux Fest Northwest, 387 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,360 you should consider giving them to someone else. 388 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:22,840 No strings attached. 389 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,520 But it's one of those things where if you want it, 390 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:25,680 just let me know. 391 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,920 And I'll include a next cloud form that you can fill out, 392 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,880 just to tell me that you're interested in, 393 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,080 because it's also important to know 394 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,600 because I don't actually want to bring the devices 395 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:36,680 if people aren't going to take them. 396 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,000 I don't want to bother to take them to the conference 397 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,520 unless I know that somebody's actually interested. 398 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,120 So I'm just letting you know. 399 00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:44,360 And you're welcome to take part 400 00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:47,360 and add your own devices as well by joining the form. 401 00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:49,240 But it's super low-key. 402 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,600 If there's a garage at Linux Fest Northwest 403 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,000 where there's cell items or whatever, 404 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000 we're not doing any of that. 405 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,200 This is like super low-key, literally. 406 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,320 Get me up if you want, you know, if you're interested. 407 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,200 This idea of running services locally at home for testing 408 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,520 naturally brings up the idea of home labs 409 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,160 and what they're for, what they aren't for. 410 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,080 And in the case of these small, simple devices 411 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,600 for testing services locally, right, 412 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,040 and testing failure and stuff and giving yourself a playpen, 413 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,120 that's one idea of what a home lab is. 414 00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:29,680 And I think this is a great valid use case for home labs, 415 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,360 just to give you an idea of a way that I've been using 416 00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:34,080 my devices as sort of home lab. 417 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,480 So obviously, we mentioned, you know, unbound, 418 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,400 but related to that, you can run something 419 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,400 like a web reverse proxy, say caddy or engine X, 420 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,080 because it'll run on basically anything. 421 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,120 But more importantly, you can use it to set up 422 00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:54,080 local HTTPS resolution. 423 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,920 If you listen back through the old episodes, 424 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,920 I highly recommended using MDNS of Vahi 425 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:08,320 as it's called to set up on device dot local naming, 426 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,040 which is totally allowed on a local network. 427 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,000 So you can have something like my device dot local, 428 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000 and then you can access services that way. 429 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,120 It might get a HTTPS error, but it works. 430 00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:21,840 And I'll link to that episode in the show notes, 431 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,760 but that information is all still totally good. 432 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,560 And it absolutely works. 433 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,760 It works great with something like the recursive DNS unbound, 434 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,200 DNS mass stuff we talked about already. 435 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,160 But also, if you want to take it to the next level, 436 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,480 I would recommend running a reverse proxy. 437 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,680 So something like caddy and gen X. 438 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,040 And what you can do is say you own a domain. 439 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:49,400 Now you can set up a DNS based challenge, 440 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,120 not the similarity of all these things. 441 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:53,440 You can create a DNS based challenge, 442 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:59,360 which connects to your domain name provider via API. 443 00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:04,600 And then you can make it so something like local.mydomain.com 444 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:09,440 will give you a further wildcard 445 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,320 for just local service testing. 446 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,920 So no matter what it is you install, 447 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,400 it doesn't matter what it is, 448 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,360 you can get valid HTTPS within your home network. 449 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,080 And I don't know about you, 450 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,640 but most people hate seeing HTTPS warnings. 451 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,160 So this is a good thing to consider. 452 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:31,000 And two ways to do that are with caddy and with nginx. 453 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,240 Because they don't really care about how they're being run. 454 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,520 It's more just about being able to use DNS based challenge 455 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,120 to generate a certificate. 456 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,920 And as long as your basic provider, say port, bun, 457 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,200 or gondi gives you that DNS certificate, 458 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,240 you'll be able to handle through let's encrypt 459 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,600 the local certificates. 460 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,000 So I would recommend checking something like that out. 461 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,880 And it's a good getting started level of home lab 462 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,360 in addition to running something like local ad blogging 463 00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:03,360 with pile or ad guard. 464 00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:05,640 So this is the kind of level that we're talking about. 465 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,920 Super duper simple tooling, 466 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,800 but works in really profound and powerful ways 467 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,800 and helps you learn. 468 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,840 If you want to hear about more about home labs, 469 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,200 I have an episode with Robin Monks, 470 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,280 as a bonus for this, that'll be released in the coming days. 471 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,400 And we talk all about what home labs mean to us, 472 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,480 what services we like to run, 473 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,280 and get a nice little overview of kind of our different 474 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,360 thoughts on that. 475 00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:30,680 So that'll be fun in the next coming days. 476 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,280 Otherwise, you can subscribe to Linux Piper premium at Kofi. 477 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,880 And then you gain access to additional episodes, 478 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,400 such as my conversation with Robin Monks, 479 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,920 it's closer to 70 plus minutes long, 480 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,400 instead of the shortened edited version 481 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,680 that you'll get coming up. 482 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,360 So yeah, do you have a home lab? 483 00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:51,640 What do you think about home labs? 484 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,840 Feel free to write in, share your thoughts. 485 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,400 We also have a matrix and discord chat. 486 00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,960 Those are bridged together. 487 00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:02,600 All have links to both of those in the show notes, 488 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,840 or you can join the discussion forum. 489 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,320 And you can look forward to that episode 490 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,520 or join Linux Piper premium to support the show 491 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,440 and listen to additional episodes 492 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,920 that I'm still working on. 493 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,720 Premium members were also gain access to my works 494 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,960 and progress posts on the forum, 495 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,600 which are otherwise not visible to regular users. 496 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,360 So it's another perk of the Linux Piper premium podcast 497 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:26,520 subscription. 498 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,000 You can see what I'm working on before I even 499 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,600 announce it otherwise. 500 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,320 So as a starter to this conversation, 501 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,080 how resilient is your local network? 502 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,560 How resilient is your setup to failures? 503 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,760 And there's a lot of places that this can go from here, 504 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:47,720 but I just want to start it with this idea of local DNS issues 505 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,800 when your ISP is unavailable and local ways 506 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,880 to connect your devices based on the devices themselves. 507 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:55,960 There's a lot more to talk about, 508 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,120 but I just want to know more about what you 509 00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:00,400 as the audience are interested in hearing about. 510 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,920 And that'll help me shape these episodes moving forward. 511 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,040 Send in your feedback on the real time chats 512 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,400 or the forum or through contact or podcast 513 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,120 at livingcartoon.org. 514 00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:12,880 Send me your thoughts. 515 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:13,880 Let me know what you think. 516 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,360 If you have suggestions, questions. 517 00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:18,440 Obviously, I have tons more content related 518 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,560 to offline local tooling to talk about, 519 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,160 but I feel like this is a good start. 520 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,960 Just really want to remain focused on steps 521 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,560 that you can actually try at home challenges you can give 522 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,520 yourself. 523 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,240 But let me know what you think of this 524 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,920 and look forward to hearing from you. 525 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,040 Really appreciate all of you listening. 526 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,800 And if you like this show, please do share the show 527 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:37,640 with others. 528 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,360 That's the number one thing you can do 529 00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:41,080 is tell somebody else about it. 530 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,840 Leave a review for the show. 531 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,000 That would be awesome. 532 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,920 I so much to cover. 533 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,560 But for the moment, I just want to touch base 534 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,960 on some upcoming events. 535 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,480 So obviously, Linux Fest Northwest is coming up 536 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:54,840 at the end of April. 537 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,440 I'll leave a link to their website. 538 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,280 It does seem that the schedule is not public yet 539 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,840 at this moment, but that should happen any day now. 540 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,840 But I will be tabling there for the Linux Prepper podcast. 541 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,920 I'll be doing my low key gearhand off 542 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,040 that I mentioned earlier. 543 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,720 If you want to get involved in that, 544 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,280 I'll also be performing an original theater piece 545 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,880 all about AI psychosis called AI scanned my brain run. 546 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,120 And I'll be performing that specifically for Linux Fest Northwest. 547 00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:27,440 It'll be the first new show that I've done in a few years. 548 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,960 My previous shows have all done super well at festivals 549 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:31,800 for theater. 550 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,560 Obviously, this isn't a theater festival, 551 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,360 but I thought I would adapt it to the conference format, 552 00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:39,280 which means it'll get performed twice 553 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,240 as two 20 minute segments with a 10 minute talk back. 554 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,680 This allows people to come and go, 555 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,880 but each performance will be totally unique. 556 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,400 So whatever you see in the second performance 557 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,800 will not be the same as what you saw in the first. 558 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,000 And I think that'll make it a lot of fun. 559 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,600 So you can look forward to AI scan my brain rot 560 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,920 performed by Living Cartoon Company at Linux Fest Northwest. 561 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:03,600 It'll be in person only, no live stream of it. 562 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,800 Sorry, not sorry, that's what's gonna happen. 563 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,800 But I'm just happy that you can walk in and see it 564 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,240 and see something unique and different. 565 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,440 I think it'll be really cool. 566 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,920 I'm really excited to do it. 567 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,680 Otherwise, I'll be tailing for the podcast, 568 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,480 giving trivia challenges. 569 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,120 And I will be releasing a additional episode all about conferences 570 00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:25,720 talking about seagull versus Linux Fest Northwest, 571 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,600 talking to Adam Monson about projects 572 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,120 that he's been working on. 573 00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:32,000 And you can enjoy that and get a better idea 574 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,520 of what happens at these conferences. 575 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,560 And maybe you'll feel inspired to want to attend one yourself, 576 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,080 whether you live in the Northwest 577 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,160 or somewhere else in
