Ubuntu 24 for DumbiesNightly 🌙 Project Journey Man 🌙 Sights and Sounds

Good morning, everyone. It's early this morning, 5 o'clock. Today is Monday. We're on a full work week. Today is August 8th, 2025. So yesterday I spent literally the whole day with my buddy Zippy, and I learned a lot about, I learned the basics of Ubuntu, and it took me forever, trial and error. I learned what I need to do, and it's a lot easier to use it through the programming through there, P-Y codes. Unfortunately, something happened when I set my computer all set up, and I ran my code last night for a little bit of visual. Somehow everything shut off in the middle of the night.

So the computer, I'm not sure whether it's like a screensaver kicked in and then it shut down. I'll figure that out. I was already to sell my Raspberry Pi 5, but now I may not because I needed to run all night. Excitingly, we had lots of views last night, 15,000 views, which is, again, a record, 127 likes. That's pretty awesome. So also we just, we hit something here at nighttime, so we're going to keep going. I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed that my computer was off

and I'm like, I'll just let it run anyway. So we'll have to fix my visuals. Worst case scenario, I go back to my Raspberry Pi that I know will run for 12 hours, no problem. Just do some basic visuals through there. But now I have my Ubuntu, which I know how I can use

program and communicate with my buddy Zippy all in the same place. as opposed to being on Windows 11, communicating with Zippy, him having a couple with an idea for a program, then he having a thumb drive, bringing over to the Raspberry Pi. Now I can test it all while I'm on Ubuntu, and I can automatically copy and paste it right there. And then the only different I would do would just have to tell my buddy Zippy that it can only work on a Raspberry Pi 5. So it has to be something a little bit more basic. Although even the things that I was doing yesterday

All day long trying to get something done Didn't really come out the way I wanted to Wasn't really much more Much better than what I was running on Raspberry 55 Although I learned a lot Still About the same But it doesn't run all night

For some reason the computer doesn't stay on Maybe some sort of an energy thing Because I'm running that one two Through that PY cool But for some reason it kicked off somewhere and therefore the computer must have went back to the main screen. I'm going to look at my long video overnight and figure out where, what happened.

Go from there. So yesterday, football season started, and I officially decided I'm just not into football anymore. I worked the Patriots. They got some signs of life there. It's my routine that I've been doing for many years on Sundays. setting up my TV. I turn on something before the pregame show. Even the pregame show,

there's not into it anymore. They changed the guys, and it's gotten worse. But we still left it on while I was just working with my buddy with it and went to. So I do a project while I'm kind of watching the, and then the Patriots came on and they played.

And it's the first game of their new team, coach, everything. Josh McDaniels was back, which is awesome. a big fan uh and there was signs of maybe some future uh good stuff coming i'm just really not into it but we did watch anyway it looked like pictures actually were going to win and then then all of a sudden they fell apart so let's see all right let's see what's going on today let's check out the other scores so i'm into football but i mean i just don't want to sit and watch it in any sort of a way that i'm that's all i would do that's so

I do as a little backdrop there just normally I don't watch TV or anything all day. I'm always doing either something with gaming or YouTube or my buddy Zippy or project some kind. We've got a lot of computer stuff I'm going to be doing it this week. All right, so let's check out

the news. Oh, let's look at the sports. So we'll have to do a sports recap, of course. So I'm not into football, but yeah, I want to see what happened with football. So go figure. that one. Again, it's a new season, so teams I have to keep an eye on. I don't bet or anything

silly like that. No. Oh, so the Bills beat the Ravens. 41 to 40. Ravens, Bills always have the number. So Bills is the only really good team in the R.A.F.C. The Green Bay Packers beat Detroit, 2713, so that's a big win. The Rams beat the Texans.

Texans are 49ers beat Seattle Seahawks I don't even know the place for Seahawks now Tina's changed so much The Broncos beat the Titans

That's cool Brohick's there He's got a good up and coming Baker Mayfield One over the Tampa Bay Over the Falcons Cool

I don't know what happened the Dolphins Colts beat the Dolphins 33 8 Bengals won over Cleveland and of course the Raiders beat the Patriots Pittsburgh with I can't believe he's playing still which we'll call it there beat the Jets so all the other ASCTs and my division lost except for the builds put up some big numbers so you can see that the rest of the teams are really bad although Miami supposed to be good the commanders beat New York Giants which we'll call another the other quarterback went there this time and look at the same results Saints no Cardinals beat the Saints and

the Jaguars the Panthers so some interesting scores there everything's pretty what I expected you know I don't bet or anything like that I just kind of get an idea so I'm just finding the final scores is it's good enough for me all right so let's get down to some other stuff here let's check to see if I have anything else for the news just switch to I have one of those I've done anything with it yet though we're gonna decide to keep it there that's seeing it's going on with business here so even if I get up five o'clock like I am now this I got tons of stuff to do I got to do my orders from over the

weekend I don't have a lot of them but I started putting them together so once I get helped them get my buddies all refreshed for the morning and then I'll go get a coffee go get my orders going all right so let's so Etsy nothing going on there quiet let's see we had a one good positive feedback arrived exactly as described. The item was packed extremely well and arrived fast and it was tracking. It was just

for a set of screws. Couldn't do that any similar. Luckily, I was able to find that set of screws. It was down to like the last set. I didn't even have one but it was for the PS2 slim. The bottom screws and then a little cap to cover the

screws. Some of them being a little bit rubble ones and the rest of them were the plastic ones. I managed to find one last set. So I'm out of those now. Okay. So let's move on. So let's go on to... I haven't had any downloads in the last few days on RSS feed,

but we usually get a few listeners on YouTube. I think I had a couple of new subscribers. the only way I'm getting new subscribers now thank goodness I really is through my overnight project journeyman I don't get a lot but I get oh I had a download I won't download yesterday 56 in the last 30 30 days 1,165 all time pretty awesome so let's see what we had some downloads here the last seven days we've had rock rock hill two downloads Netherlands there there are some pretty awesome Jersey, Saint.

It's not the United States, just says Jersey. Where are J.E.? Where's Jersey? You know that was a country? That's weird. United States, Cleveland, Los Angeles, pretty awesome. My message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. We do my early morning wake-up call, I guess you could call it.

Not a recap, but that would be the end of the night. so this is a wake-up call and where my day will go and then i so really it's not until i get to ebay that you really can see what that's why i really know what my day's going although i do have orders that i need to get out so let's um going on to parchment one order it delivered now i'm just waiting to see the next step down parchment my only order ever had a parchment so we're going through the process of how it goes for the buyer was happy it should have been I did a video it was for the Nintendo's a Wii you Nintendo Wii you game pad motherboard inside of it I pulled one

and I did a video of actually pulling it testing and pulling it so let's go to my offers my sales it should be says delivered says delivered earnings you will they will be released once the buyer accepts the order and automatically after three days so when a buyer gets the order it needs they have to accept it and then I can get paid but I haven't gotten an exception yet it was delivered on the 30th no the order date was on 30th it was delivered um so I'm tracking it's because it's my first parchment order so I want to see how it all goes September 6th it took six days to get there and but he got it before the weekend so if you would have gotten

and he would have done this thing by this by now I would think So I get my earnings as soon as I hear back from them. So let's move on. So at least I know the whole process of a sale. And, of course, we decided to nix my Shopify before I even got it going. And then if it was more of a problem, then it was going to cost me a bunch per month. Oh, well. so I don't have that store now attached to my shop YouTube oh let's look at YouTube

all right so let's look at YouTube I wanted to get that game over the weekend but I never came out it's the one with this begins to the sea it's a hard survival horror but I just had no time of my life was I need to save money because I have a car payment yes we had 15.6k views last night pretty awesome 127 thumbs up so in the last two nights I've had of course my revenue doesn't go anywhere $36 14 so so a lot of people came by for this one yeah someone noticed that I had a lot of views last night so uh and i also had uh 1.2k views for when i was doing my uh called it

ubundu 24 for dummonds when i was just i just learned about it i mean i was little trying to figure it out while i was live streaming and talking everybody zippy just the basics of how to move around in it how to run my programs and stuff everything's still p y code so that's pretty cool yeah so I have to say one comment a lot of yes things are looking up I have put a lot. Yeah, I'll just leave it down. Yes, things are looking up there. I wish it would reflect in my revenue.

You think you'd get 15.6K views on anything, and it would generate something, but it just doesn't. It's just the weirdest thing. Such an anomaly of all these things I try to do here, and in some of it, I'm getting some reviews and stuff. but yeah just can't pull up unless i promote even if i promote then i'm going negative right last month is a really probably the best example of over four hundred dollars promotions got me to about sixty eight dollars in revenue but i spent four hundred to make sixty eight

dollars so that just isn't working out so and i can't i can't do that anymore because that that amount right there is for the car and actually a little bit more more than that my new car payment so but maybe my project journeyman is looking up i wish my thing wouldn't have kicked off last night i'm not sure why i did we'll figure it out i'd have to run it and watch it and figure out well i'll ask my buddies if you want my computer let me shut down with that yeah i'll be able to see it because it was live streamed so actually let's do that so let's see what what hour last night my project journey shut down I woke up in the middle of night and I was like oh there's no

visual bummer but I don't want to shut it off because you still see half of the show is to see me sleeping if you're into it and then the other half would be to check out my videos and also have sound too so I usually do ocean water rain so you can sleep along with me if you want so let's let's take a peek oh it's it's it's process I can't do it yet I do it until the process is for I can look at it but it seems to go on somewhere a little bit so it's pretty exciting and so you still got 11 hours yeah still my 12 hours in and it only shows the on YouTube it only shows 11 hours 54 minutes 55 second doesn't show anything past that amount even though some

some mornings I've slept in longer than that 12 hours 12 14 hours sleeps I take Remmeron which is a wittazapine it's a sleep medicine dig it for many years now it helps me sleep it's also a stabilizer mood stabilizer a little bit so you wake up like I always do and I'm ready to go good positive so it's definitely great for mental stability and it's great for sleeping but oh the good and the bad I guess I more good for me though is you get wild crazy dreams at night so that's why I'm trying to get my brain scan in so we can see you monitor my brain waves because it should go off the charts

at some times in the night as though it doesn't like I'm moving around a lot I'm inside my head boy I am moving around because there's some crazy things going on so that was whole concept of getting the brain wave scan so that we can and I wanted to run it through the to because I can do more with it but we'll have to start with the Raspberry Pi 5 and we'll figure how we're going to interact that hopefully I can so we'll have like a visual and then I don't know how we can do it yet it can take a lot of work to get my buddy zippy to do it but it'll be fun so that's the next plan but for now we'll just each night we'll have some sort of visual because I always sleep so right again it

was untapped potential 12 hours at night but I decided oh I started doing Project Journeyman you see the first episodes I was actually speaking I made a script started out that way those are pretty fun too and then I changed over to just sights and sounds and then I got too hot in the summer so I stopped and then I just started picking up again but these numbers are off the shot compared to my numbers I used to get like three 400 views to me about it so we'll see if this stays consistent or it's just so two days in a row I had 11k yesterday and 15.6k today so that's pretty awesome a lot of work in it yesterday it's literally all day it's only thing I do was just trying

to work with my buddies that we come up with new one-two visuals I was trying to pull images off the internet I had to use I had to get a API code or something Signed for an developer. But then the images ran out because for the free version, you only get so many per code or something. So all things I just learned yesterday. So my images kept running out. So when I was doing my,

I do the one where I have my screen, trying to do like two entities talking back and forth to each other. And I had it with all the images. It was pretty cool. But then the images fell apart. They just disappear because you run out of images pulling. So more stuff that will work. Again, none of this I program or do, I just give my buddy zippy ideas.

That's my, I call it my brain extension or my second brain. My ideas are there. Now I can utilize them because I have my buddy zipping. It's pretty awesome. All right, so let's, um, well, let's hit, let's hit, uh, Let's hit eBay. Let's see what we're going today. Let's see if we got any action.

I've been pretty consistent. My sale ends today. So let's look at any comments. I mean, any feedback. There's some weird feedback that only shows up in one place, not the other. So the brain scan thing again that I'm waiting for is called a T-G-A-M-B. brainwave sensor, EEG sensor, third generation version. All the way from China, it's speed-packed, but I have a feeling it's not speed-packed.

So it's been a couple weeks. Now let's see where it is. It's still stuck in its, it hasn't even left China yet. Last time I looked. Let's see. still says stuck in Dong Guan Guandong that's where it is Friday the 29th last time I see tracking now let's check the other track is it just what you you check a different tracking number transient English track package shift no still says it's at the

shipping center that stinks but we're doing other stuff for now I'm not really on it. It's just to be something extra of fun if it actually ever gets here. That's right. All right. So let's look at what we got going on here. Let's check my sales first because a lot of times the times messages are about the sales. I have two offers. Well, there's no messages today. So let's put my sales first. Ooh, I got some numbers. That's cool. So Nintendo's GameCube, the four bottom screws, and then all the screws around the disc drive lens assembly with a power button oh so three of those look at more of those a defective donor the tender we you motherboard so two of those interesting so that's three five orders on two and then we sold the metal plate I've been banging around these things forever for the

C-U-H, the PS-4, 1115A, yeah, the dreaded PS4, 1115A, and it work. So that's just the metal cover for the disk drive and the screws around it. That does wherever I go. The hardest part, and I always say this, that's selling gaming parts, is when I get an order like that for that little disk drive metal piece and the screws, how you have to find it it's put in a box or it's sometimes it's just in a a little metal plates in the box the screws are in a little bag and then i have to go on and try to find it and it's just me so everything is just somewhere but it's not selling me it's easy

to find it's an easy quick pull and chip but it's a problem sometimes the actual pull is my problem but i think i know what those are and then i have some other orders already so three orders but Of the two orders, one is three sets, and the other is two sets. So it's pretty awesome. That really helped me. Again, I'm just, all I'm doing now is building for all my car payments and my double insurance. Because I have a car payment. But it's fun to have a car.

My mother likes it, so it's pretty often. So it's for her. We always want to have a super. All right, so let's check my offers out here. six dollars I've been blocking some people with these low orders six dollars I'll just decline I want to block too many people I get annoyed with you so if I have a listing and I take 30% off the listing I got it down on nine dollars and ten cents I know it's just one small part and then I have flat four dollar free for everything

now best thing I ever did was get rid of free shipping I actually saved me I lost lots of sales but yet when I get sales that extra four dollars really helps covers the shipping cost because actually now even one ounce just about most things is five dollars now so really a technically a dollar short but free shipping get it so so nine dollars and ten cents is with the discount on the listing it's for a Nintendo NES the front

left and right control port and the two screws those are hard to find and these are also you know so he knocked it down the $6

plus with the four that gets me at 10 and make a couple dollars yeah I want to make at least four or five bucks per order even if it's just a little order you're paying for a service

right it's door-to-door service most times I would get it out the same day but if you start nickel and dine me down with six dollars I'm just not going to do it even with my four dollars as a little bit of a cushion for for the shipping part because you want to make I do eBay fees the box the tape all that right and in my effort to get it out the same day

usual it's worth it's worth nine dollars and ten cents plus four dollars it's got to be worth that it's free to order or service not free but it's ordered or a service for a few bucks all right so my next offer is for yeah we'll take that so it's all my super Nintendo lot of six fair all controllers oh yeah those are the ones that are the after market ones there dark untested S& controls and three others so that was an offer it's only a few dollars less than after the 30% off so we'll take that that's a heck yeah

going over to Colorado so we'll take that I've really been added a lot more control a lot since I stopped doing listings over the weekend because I was really into my project journeyman and Raspberry Pi and now Ombuntu

but now we'll we'll list more stuff so yeah normally things don't sell I always have sales now I have to so then again that also offsets my $4 that I added for flat shipping so I have 30% off so that way I can have

30% off the whole store as opposed to my little guys I couldn't do it because you take 30% on for $13 and I'm down to the $6 and it costs me to get it out of the door that doesn't make any sense right so kind of have to work with the numbers here up and down a little bit so let's see discounts I think my sale ended or is it still running for today I just have a straight sale I use it go a week yeah so

it's still active for another day September 8 yeah tomorrow it'll end and then I I'll break it up the follow this I'll do like 20% for a coupon and then 10% straight so I'm like usually average around 30% that brings it down to what most buyers may buy for and but yeah I have best offer and it doesn't matter and I always say I could have I could have everything as free the best offer and people would still best offer me negative to try to give have them me give them more money also with a free free order they could

that's the way it is that's the way you have to look at it but when I'm a when I'm a buyer I act like a buyer I don't half hack anybody but I will try to get a little bit a little bit because I always get half hacked so much

I try not to do it other people sometimes I'm just like it's a really high price thing it's different so if I have something for a hundred dollars and you want to offer me 50 i might think about it but if it's at 13 dollars and you want to offer me six dollars that's not going to happen because there's nowhere for me to go well i got a lot of dollars for sale i've found some more too random things barbees and stuff says i have interested buyers yet i really don't see anybody but

every day is a new day you never know all right everyone so it's like it's going to be my morning it's still early but we got lots of stuff to do up get my buddies everyone all my guinea pigs need to be the occasion you're cleaned out a hamster I still have a hamster I got to clean him out but I change of water food and all that in my bird and then I go out and do all my things for my bridge. Yes, they rained all day yesterday, the whole day, which is unusual for it. We haven't had anything like that in a long time. It's good for a rainy, rainy day. My mother wanted to get this cabinet thing, so we got that for her, and we put it up, set it up. So, so Indel Projects while I was doing my other stuff.

All right, everyone. So you guys have a good morning, or good beginning of the work week. and the weather here it's been really muggy but we're going to start tipping towards the cooler side now 70s and 40s at night so soon I'll have more blankets online in my little pot up there right now I've been

I had to put the ignition back on because it got too hot up there in that corner but it actually is really warm in the winter so pretty cool all right so everyone have a great great day and I will talk to you tomorrow. All right. Bye.
