welcome to episode i actually don't know because i usually don't record two episodes in one week
uh 43 of take of a t yeah um when you said one you want to do this on saturday i was initially
thinking you're saying like next saturday because i'd asked you during the week um but it's fine i
just won't record next week and then it'll be fine then. That actually works out...
No, next week's not Christmas. It's the week after the Christmas.
Maybe I will record an episode then and then just not do
the Christmas week. That might work.
Yeah, that might work.
So I guess this...
When's this going to be up?
I think this actually will be the Christmas episode, though.
I think this will be up the Thursday
just before Christmas. What a nice christmas present so um merry christmas from the 12th of december
how you been man i'm good man how are you doing not too bad not too bad i've noticed you've been
streaming a lot recently a lot i wouldn't say lots of word
but trying to get back into whatever i can yeah more than i've been doing at least i stream like
at this stage i'm doing one a week on the main channel and whatever i feel like doing on the
gaming channel yeah so i think this weekend i'm planning Unless I change my mind
I'm thinking I'm going to do a stream later today
Probably play a bit of Hades
Because that game's a lot of fun
And
You said later today, I was like wait
Nevermind, I forgot it's fucking morning
It's 11.40am here
Hey, I could stream at 1 in the morning
That also works
And then I think
If I feel like it, maybe tomorrow I'll play some Bastion
but I don't know, we'll see how I feel about it
because I've never actually played that game before
I think I played it
a very little bit back at the gaming club
in college
actually wait, no
are you done now?
yes I am, yes
thank fucking god dude, congratulations
I know, it's actually lovely to be
done uh i you know it's it's a great experience but jesus christ four years is a long long time
i don't except for uh i'll say this every time the exception of meeting my wife at college
most of the college was a waste of fucking time to me yeah that that's fair um
i'm at the point now where i'm like did i just waste the last four years of my life is that what
happened because what i realized sorry as in my case it's did i waste four years of my life
and going dead about 30 grand i think my debt's a bit more than that but the way our loan system works
for a higher education is actually
really really nice
so we don't actually have to pay a cent back
until I think we make above
$40,000 or something
and every year it doesn't actually go up
with inflation
it doesn't have compound interest
put on it, it's just going up with inflation so it'll just keep up with inflation it doesn't what doesn't have compound interest put on it
it's just going up with inflation so it'll just keep up with that rate which
is perfectly fine so if you don't pay it back ever then you should pay it back
but you don't have never have to if you get like a job at Starbucks and never
move up in the world the debts not gonna be there there trying to bother you about it. The way the ours works is, one, you do get interest.
Two, I think depending on what program you're doing to pay it back,
if you don't miss payments over a certain amount of time,
I forget how many years, like 10 or 20 years or some shit,
they'll just go, okay, the rest of that debt's forgiven.
Oh, okay. But the that that's forgiven oh okay but
but the debt that's forgiven counts as income so you get taxed on it
wow that's a harsh way to take it yeah oh wait is it just like a entire block that's
Canada's forgiven it like or is it just over a period of time
I'm pretty sure after a certain
period of time just whatever's left this gets marked off Jesus yeah I think I could be wrong
I'm not a fucking expert on that but I'm trying to remember what I had to read to accept the loan
in the first place initially and I think that's how it worked but I could be wrong because if you
were I don't know you say did uh an aeronautical degree or a medical degree you could still potentially have like 40 or 50
000 on that oh yeah that's insane actually if it was one of those should that be in six digits
yeah because like mine's like i went to a cheaper college because it was in state and mine was still
like 30k and that was with financial aid.
Let's say you go to like
Harvard or something without a scholarship.
That would be a massive
massive debt.
No thank you.
I gave you a big ass list. What's something you want to go down
first?
Let's see. What do we have on here?
I guess we can scare people away a bit later with the VTubers
I usually like to save that until
People have already given up
The watch time anyway
Usually people watch like 5 or 10 minutes in and then give up
So you know what, we'll start with
Something that everyone likes
We'll start with video games You everyone likes we'll start with video
games uh you've played a bit of ghost ghost of tsushima oh god i love that game so much
i haven't played it yet it looks really really good uh give me give me a reason why i should
play it um combat wise think assassin's Creed but more fluent
I would call it a better version of Assassin's Creed's
combat
still has the same stealth elements
that Assassin's Creed kind of does
but has
what I would consider
better story
God the story is almost better
and if you're just kind of into
that maybe that kind of into that,
you know, maybe that kind of history
and that aesthetic,
you'll love it.
You can really live like that.
Samurai fantasy.
Well, I did catch, so I
watched the first five minutes of your stream
and I came back, I think, an hour or so later
and you were talking about how you're not really a samurai.
You actually just become a ninja later in the game with all your
upgrades
that's part yeah it's kind of part of the
the like main struggle
the main character has without going
into like uber major plot
spoilers is it's kind of
him tackling with the fact that
this enemy they're fighting
knows exactly what they're going to do because
samurai live by a code,
and they always react the same way to everything.
So you have to basically break the code in order to fight this enemy.
That's basically what his main inner struggle is.
The only part I saw is that you were looking at the upgrade tree,
and you're like, none of these abilities are samurai abilities.
Nope.
Which I don't think is
a bad thing. I like ninjas,
I like samurais. Merge them together,
you get something cool.
It's not really, like,
a major,
like,
thing that, like, has
issues with other characters
until later. Like like you'll start to
see like some certain characters are like oh i know you had to do what you had to do but you
should stay away from doing this yeah but then you just have to do progressively more fucked up stuff
every time and they're like uh you're turning into a monster please stop this now
oh how much it's on how much is it going to be in Australia
probably too much money
way too much money
because you know our dollar is garbage
let's go to Oz Game Shop
let's see how much they're going to charge me for it
how much did you end up
paying for it
it's retail price still so 60 bucks
so
Oz Game Shop is basically
I don't know how they managed to get the prices so low basically retail price still, so $60. So, Oz Game Shop is basically...
I don't know how they managed to get the prices so low.
Basically...
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they're like G2A
and have stolen keys or something.
But you can always
get some pretty nice deals
on there.
$68.99 Australian.
That's actually pretty good.
I don't know what the
conversion rate is between
Freedom Bucks and Tinkeroo Bucks.
I think that would work out to be like
$50.45.
Oh, nice.
Okay, there's a little discount.
Yeah.
Well, normally when games come out here,
they're $100, which is higher
than they are retail in America.
Excuse me. Yeah, that would work out to be like $80 or so dollars which is nonsense
why the fuck are they so much money
I don't know
maybe it has something to do with shipping
I don't know
but the thing is
it's not just shipping
digital copies are the exact same price
so you'll buy a digital code, it'll still be $100.
But there's no reason for it.
Actually, speaking of that game,
I was playing the multiplayer last night
and I was doing a mission with someone that was doing really well.
So I was like, I'm going to invite him and play with him.
And lo and behold, it's someone else also from Australia.
And he has, I don't know where he's from in Australia,
but his accent is like way thicker than yours.
Like, holy God.
I could understand him, but it was like,
holy shit, mate.
Ah, yes.
Yeah, my accent's kind of cleaned up since i moved away from moved away from
rural areas but it does definitely slip back when i when i go there for a while
because i grew up in rural queensland and you don't understand a word anyone's saying if you're
not from there i i don't know exactly like you never gave me like like what country
Australian accents sounded like but like
when I heard him talk I was like okay I think
this is what he's talking about
like Crocodile Dundee
isn't a joke like that people actually
speak like that
not about knives and stuff but no like that
accent's like an actual accent
um yeah
it's I think the funniest thing
about australian shows is that so i don't know if you've ever seen outback truckers
random show okay outback truckers basically it's what it sounds like it's it's truckers
through the outback and every single one of them has subtitles on it because the show gets uh like sold in america i love it because they like it's it's perfectly fine for me i can understand everything they're
saying but i guess it'd be like listening to someone with a super thick like scottish
accent i'm like i have no idea what you're saying but if you were from there and if you spoke like
a perfectly fine accent to anyone else,
you'd still probably understand it.
Right, yeah.
I don't know.
I don't have that hard of an issue understanding people that have really thick accents
from when I had to work at the Greenbrier a long time ago.
Because a lot of the waiters there have like thick Jamaican accents or thick Asian accents.
So I got used to just understanding thick accents.
Yeah, it's not too
difficult once you're around it,
but
I could make my videos like
that if I wanted to. I think it'd be
amusing. I have some
ideas. I think that when I go play
when I go play Tie the Tasmanian
Tiger, I'm going to ham up the accent
as much as possible.
Let Meeseeks have his fantasy in your head.
All right, mates.
I think I'll have to do that.
I think I will have to do that.
Also, Discord seems to be getting worse.
I noticed in DT's episode it was cutting out a bit.
It's cutting out for you as well.
I don't know if that's just my side or what's going on.
I don't think I've heard you cut out at all huh okay i don't know what's going on then there i don't fucking know man discord shit maybe i'll maybe i'll use my linode
sponsorship and set up a uh a jitsi server or uh i there's actually a a competitor uh service to discord i like just found out about
not that long ago called uh gilded.gg that does ring a bell and uh i think i just like pissed
around with it one day and so it's they're trying to move into the space that this score is technically
moving out of right because discord's trying to not be just the whipper gamers they're trying to
be like general now whereas the whereas guild is like no we're going full ham on the word gamers
like they have the tools where you can even set up like like micro forms on the server you can
set up calendar events videos everything that's
actually really cool yeah it's like it's basically like really like much more
feature full but the only exception they have is their weakness is they don't
have like a bot integration that's a problem but they have webhooks so you
can kind of do but stuff mm Okay, that makes sense.
I will care about this when someone builds a matrix bridge for it.
I mean, technically speaking,
I don't know how that
API works, but you could technically have
a bot
that's listening to your
matrix server. I don't know if that's a thing you can
do or not, and then just have them
bridge the messages
over with the webhooks
I think we could do that
yeah, that's pretty much how it works with
the discord integration
but
I don't know
I think discord's sort of been
slacking a lot in the gaming side.
Like, they haven't really done anything that...
Like, yeah, you have the overlay.
That's pretty much everything gamery about it at this point.
It's basically Slack with a different skin.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, they've even said they've completely rebranded themselves.
It's not like, oh, we're just for gamers now.
They're trying to be like this generic communication community
platform thing now. And I'm like,
okay, I kind of get why you're doing that.
But I think in the process of
you doing that, trying to get more people,
you're going to push away and piss off the ones
that have been there for years and they're just going to fuck off
and go to other platforms.
Well, yeah, it's not like Discord's the only platform
out there.
But I remember when I...
When my main group was on...
It was a Skype group.
That was a...
God, I don't miss that.
Skype is so bad.
Yeah, I hate Skype.
There was like...
The only reason I still had Skype on my old computer
was to talk to two old friends of mine from back home.
I had to open up Skype
to talk to someone at some point. I was like, wow,
this still looks like it does 10 years ago.
Probably
still runs like shit. Probably.
Well, one of the, like
Skype's a weird one, especially for businesses
because the Skype for business and
regular Skype accounts are two different accounts.
Why did my light just get
brighter?
Oh god.
Why did it jump up to 52?
What?
What the fuck?
Oh. I don't like that.
Are you having like
a short that's making the fucking thing
wiggle? I don't know. Maybe.
There we go.
On that note, I probably should get myself a UPS.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Not the shipping company, no.
The power supply.
Yeah, because I've just got this running off of wall power,
and it has been a problem from time to time,
because this house has some of the flakiest power I've ever seen, like, once a month, I would say, we lose power here.
How old is it?
Not that old.
It's- it's not- well, it's not just the house, it's the suburb.
Oh.
I don't know why it happens so often.
It just changed again what the fuck
okay
speaking of lighting I actually
ordered some more lighting equipment
what are you working on now
these two like
I think you have these things these like newer led panel things
yeah they're like 30 bucks for two of them or something they're lovely uh i was uh what's that
dude that works with uh harris sam goodall uh he just released a video today talking basically
talking about how to use uhors with lights. I've never
actually saw a reflector used before. He was
showing examples of how to use them.
It actually looks really convenient to use.
So I like immediately went and bought like
a reflector. Because they're not
inexpensive. They're like 20 bucks.
Do you have a link
to that?
The reflector or
Sam's video? Yeah, whatever so i can show you something on
the screen let me whatever whatever's closest at hand
amazon go do your thing
oh speaking of amazon the um the bookseller i normally go through, I've noticed for some reason,
so they've got an Amazon shop.
Their prices on the Amazon shop are cheaper than their prices on their own website.
And I don't know why they've done that.
It really confuses me.
It does confuse me.
Do you think you'd make them cheaper on your own site?
Or maybe make them equivalent,
because Amazon's going to take a cut anyway.
So it's real strange.
Unless they're already overcharging the shit out of it anyway,
and they don't care if they just lose a little bit off the top?
Maybe, but their prices are pretty good generally.
I just broke the entire thing.
I didn't have the discord window
open so it placed it where the main discord window is no oh yeah okay yeah i have seen these be used
before i just i don't know what i'd be doing with them though that so maybe i'll go watch that video
yeah the main thing it does which is is, I think, part of my problem
because, you know, all the shadows and shit back here,
is it'll basically just kind of disperse
all the light that's hitting back this way.
So instead of, you see, like, all these dark spots behind me?
It'll kind of, like, gently, like, diffuse all of it back
and it'll be, like, very evenly lit,
like, all of it back here, and it'll be like very evenly lit like all of the back here and it looks really nice okay
i have fairly limited space though so i don't know how well i'd be able to make use of them
but that's true i will have a look
they do just come if you notice like they have like clamp on the shit. I don't know if you could just clamp it on the top of your monitor or something.
Hmm, that's an option.
Also,
a curtain rod that you just hang it
down from.
Get a bit of fishing wire.
Wait, do you know how
Do you know how
absolutely messed up my blackout curtain solution is here?
I don't think I've...
Actually, I don't know what your blackout curtain solution is.
Oh, okay.
So, I have this quote-unquote curtain.
It's not a curtain.
You might notice up there there's some clamps.
I see that.
That's because what it is, it's actually a bed sheet.
Oh.
I've clamped a bed sheet to my curtain rod,
and then I can just drop it down whenever I'm doing videos,
and that just basically knocks out any light
that would have come in through the edges of the window.
Whenever I actually have a different space that doesn't involve
having one of our cats in here i want to get some kind of blackout lights if or blackout curtain if
i need them it might be in the basement where i won't need them anyway yeah well yeah i only need
them because i've got um i've got blinds but light comes in through the edges of them. And in the late afternoon, the sun is coming straight through my window.
Right, yeah.
Yeah, it's not too much of a problem, but I just don't want to deal with it.
I dealt with it in the videos for a while.
You might have noticed in some of the videos that recorded later in the day,
there was light coming in through this section over here.
Nah, I never even paid attention. Oh this is you probably notice this like every time you make an upgrade to a video no one else notices besides you maybe it depends on how
significant the difference is yeah well obviously if you change your set. Yeah. I mean, it's like, I'm sure that like the audio I'm using now
and the audio I had before, it was a big fucking difference.
Oh, yeah.
But like, say you were using a camera
and then you went and bought like another $300 lens or something.
No one will notice the difference.
No.
Except like...
Other than like, maybe the angle's a little wider or something you know yeah the only
one who'd notice something is like the like camera junkies and even then probably not yeah
like the biggest difference i've done is obviously having these back lights here and my extra light
so i can have you know a fill light a point light and uh sorry a fill light, a point light, and a sorry, a fill light, hair light,
and a key light.
But, besides that, I've made
some other minor changes here and there, and they haven't
no one's pointed them out until I
pointed them out.
Oh, wow, yeah, those are nice lights
you got there.
Which,
it slightly bothers me, but also also i just want to improve stuff myself
oh yeah like yeah i could just keep doing everything with uh my webcam looking like
absolute garbage like most people with a c920 do um like someone who talks about roads a lot uh um but i i want to like make it look better and that's why i
bought the new camera anyway because i want to i want to have it look better i don't need the new
camera i could i'd be fine with just the c920 but yeah i just want to see stuff improve basically
speaking of speaking of men who rant about road uh you know
i got when i think when you and some of the people in the chat were like that randomly brought him up
yesterday i was sitting there thinking i was like how proud would he be of me of the fact
that i'm literally running my entire youtube channel i'll have a vent peg almost except for
except for when i'm recording i i use obs to record but literally all the
fucking editing is fm mpeg and python script yeah that i don't know why you do that
because i'm lazy and i will do the same editing anyway
well yeah i think i mentioned this in the stream um one of the things I do want to do is just...
Actually, one is have an automatic import script,
so I don't have to bother importing the videos.
So right now, I just drag them in and put them in the project.
I should be able to start a project.
I have a template Kdenlive project file,
and then just populate it with everything that should be there.
That's not difficult.
I just haven't done it.
Basically, I'll just go over every file in the folder and then just put in the metadata it needs
to actually locate the file.
The other thing is automatically adding in my outro video
because I manually drag it in every time as well.
All of that stuff's pretty easy.
It's just there's no documentation
on how the Kdenlive save file actually works.
So it's basically just hack it together.
I mean, that's what a lot of my FFmpeg scripts are
is because there's not a lot of centralized resources
about doing stuff with FFmpeg.
It's literally like I think most of my scripts
are usually the result of finding
like a random stack overflow post about
hey how can I
combine two videos with FFmpeg
and I'm like hey
noink bye now
FFmpeg does seem like a cool tool
but I
I make too many
mistakes and I want my videos to be edited in a certain way that doing
it through fmpeg i feel like would just be too much of a hassle for me if you don't do much
editing and you just cut out like you know the parts where you're not speaking i it's perfectly
fine so yeah whenever i make a mistake like i i i'm pretty aware of what my brain's farting or I'm
saying misspeaking. I'll turn
it into a joke. I'll make fun of myself.
I actually usually
like when people make videos and
they do something stupid. They're like,
wait, what the fuck did I just say?
They make fun of themselves.
I like that. That's why
I usually leave those in.
Like you said, for the silence parts i just python script room is all silence anyway
if i left those in i think the videos would be almost twice as long
like i could leave a couple in here and there but if i left them all in the videos would be unwatchable i did have two ideas to potentially do some uh more sophisticated editing with the
stuff i have one was i did think about for the python script that's removing the silence
adding the ability for me to basically pass in a white list of time frames.
So basically saying, oh, if you're
looking for silence, but you're within this
time frame, just ignore it.
Just for like, I want to leave it in for
comedic effect or something.
So that way
it looks normal,
then sometimes people will
leave sections of silence there on purpose
for whatever reason.
That would be the use case for it.
Like you're saying,
you're trying to make some sort of sarcastic point or something like that.
Yeah, pretty much.
Apple makes a great operating system,
and they just go on from there.
Yeah.
And the other one is
I briefly told you
about this before, which was
I considered adding
some kind of really low
volume background music
tutorial video so it's not
just me blathering on for like 12 minutes.
And
I already found a solution.
I already found an example about how to do that.
It's super easy.
Yeah.
What I thought about doing was there's,
there's like two phases of this.
The first one is a simple implementation where I basically just use like,
there's a standard program called Shuff to
shuffle like the entries from like LS or something.
I thought about using that to basically like have a directory that I have
for background music,
whether there's actual files in there or they're just send linked from other
things and just say,
I pass in this directory,
pick a random audio file
from this directory, loop it the whole time.
So basically it's like random.
I don't even know what it is
until it's already recorded.
Surprise! Nobody knows!
And the other idea I had, so it wasn't
literally the same track looping over
and over again for like 20 minutes,
would be something a little more
sophisticated which is i take the same i don't like this take the first track i take the track
i have the entire length of the video the main video not the intro and outro stuff um i take
i take the first audio track now you use like media info how long is this track okay
it's three minutes how long is this video 12 minutes okay so there's nine minutes left
take the next track how long is this one four minutes okay four minutes and until the whole
video is consumed and then i can just concatenate all those tracks together and it's basically one continuous bgm of different tracks yeah yeah
yeah i've thought about doing music in the back of my videos as well i just
i don't know whether it would fit or not that's the only worry i have i know it's fine for a
stream but i don't know how well it would work in like a 10 12 minute video it might uh I think if you're
actually showing something off probably not like I'm I'm not playing them into videos but they seem
to help when you're just kind of like talking like it's like a talking head video where you're
just kind of talking about something I think it helps some of those yeah okay that might i might try that i'm not sure what music i use
right now for my streams i'm using um stream beats yeah uh which is i like stream beats
stream this is great harris heller did a great job with that like there's a lot of stuff in there
i'm not a fan of like i'm not a I'm not a big fan of lo-fi stuff
I'll listen to it
when I'm just doing stuff by myself
but I don't think it makes great stream music
nah
I downloaded all the synthwave
albums
I've got all of it downloaded
I think mostly what I'm using is the hip hop stuff
the hip the stuff the hip the hip
the hip hip
yeah there's other things I could use
like Monstercat's got a pretty good
obviously being Monstercat you can go get a Monstercat
license and use all of that
that's obviously going to be great music as well
I might consider that, to be honest,
because I do like a lot of Monstercat.
I don't know how much their license is.
The only other royalty-free service
that I actually use that I pay for is Epidemic.
That one doesn't ring a bell.
It's what Fluke used.
I just realized that.
My browser library and actually like, they actually have some pretty nice synth
and retro wave tracks on there.
Mmm, Epidemic Music.
It's Epidemic Sound.
Well, it came up in Google.
Uh, okay, that's cool.
Yeah, maybe I'll have a look at this as well
see what they have
yeah
let's see
what about
you almost ran out of money having to find a job again
oh yeah that's why you stopped making
videos for a while
yup you had that go money and having a fine job again. Yeah, that's why you stopped making videos for a while.
Yup.
You had that go.
Well, see,
this part I thought might actually be helpful for people because
there's always people trying
to get their foot in the door in that
particular industry.
So, all of you who might
be watching, who are
going to be looking for a job in software development or some shit like that,
I will explain to you the steps I took to acquire another job.
Okay, class, ready?
Step one, I already had a resume template.
Wait a second.
I've got a notebook.
He's taking notes.
Oh, boy.
I already had a resume template. I don't remember where I got a notebook. He's taking those. Oh, boy. I already had a resume template.
I don't remember where I got it from.
Because, for fuck's sake, unless you're a designer, don't use your own resume thing.
Just get a template somewhere.
The order that things on the resume are is what's probably one of the most important parts.
So, usually, you have your name,
maybe some
info like your email or something.
For God's sake, don't put where you live
or your phone number or something.
It's going to go all places.
Indeed, do you want randos calling
you on your phone? I don't think you do.
Next thing down
below, if you want to put it, you don't have to.
It's like a one sentence like
description of like what you're trying to do like mine was like uh i'm a software engineer with
three years of experience looking to grow my knowledge and teach others my skill summary
the next point after this and this is the most important part skills because uh if you don't
already know this when people are looking at your resumes decide whether they want to call you or
not a lot of times they're just looking for keywords because the people usually looking
at resumes they don't know what the hell this shit is they were just told candidates that have
javascript html react and something on the
resume generally it's going to be hr not the person who you're actually working for who's
actually looking at it so generally what i like okay if you're just trying to find any job usually
you want to carry the resume to like whatever job you're looking or like whatever uh job you're looking for. Whatever job you're applying for.
In my case, there was a
specific kind of job I was
looking for. I had my resume
carried to that. I had
the important thing first. I was trying
to find, if I could, a go job.
A go-lang job.
Which I kind of did. We'll get
into that afterwards.
After that, there is the if you have job
experience relevant job experience not what the you worked at fucking i don't really know about
that now you cut out that for a bit that's where you put it uh i said like if you have job it's
like uh job experience it matters for what you're applying for, not something you did before.
And when you're describing it, you usually describe it in, like, affirmative things that you did.
Don't just be like, oh, I worked on this thing.
We used this thing.
Okay.
saying, okay, you should be like,
oh, I leveraged MySQL and PHP to maintain and further
develop our existing web applications. So you're saying,
I took this thing and accomplished this goal.
HR likes saying that stuff. Whatever.
And then after that, if you have projects put them there uh
preferably link to source code and a live demo because especially the live demo part because
it's one thing just be like oh i made this thing and this stuff but if i can't see it i don't
believe you and then education at the bottom
which is funny because like if you go to a lot of college they'll tell you to put that front center
don't put it front yeah it's like especially nowadays it's probably one of the least relevant
things on your resume which is funny considering you probably spent four years of your life and forty fifty thousand
dollars trying to get it yeah a lot of companies really the only companies that desperately
desperately care about you having a degree are government organizations or doing military
contracts anything like that but if you're doing any sort of like web development or just general
development yeah your degree is not really as important as
you having demonstratable projects do you you can actually say i these are things that i've done
this is what i actually know yep then if your resume is all ready to go by the way i never
bothered with cover letters i think cover letters are a big fucking waste of time or if you have a cover letter just just literally take a template one that has like four places where
you're like hello insert name of company here i am applying for insert name of job here and
that's that's what i would do if i had a cover letter but i didn't even bother with that shit
that's an interesting approach a lot of people will say the cover letter is incredibly important.
If you are going to take the template approach,
one, it makes you fill out the template.
Two, it makes you fill out the template with the correct company.
Yes, please do that.
So here's the next thing I did when it came to actually job searching. And this is another thing.
It's going to be contrary to what you usually hear
colleges.
They'll say like,
Oh,
you know,
like research the job that you want.
Like,
you know,
find the company you like research the company.
No,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no.
Don't,
don't waste time with that shit yet.
You know why?
To me,
it always seemed like when you're trying to put in job,
like applications for jobs like that, it's a numbers game.
I think over the course of that couple months that I was job searching, I probably sent out 80 resumes.
And I heard back from 10 of them and got phone interviews with three of them okay so i don't know what uh percentage of success that is
uh but it's not worth you literally saying they're looking up every single you know i mean
my kind of train of thought is i'm not going to give them the time of day to like look into
until they decide they want to give me the time of day. Otherwise, why would I waste my time?
That's my train of thought on it. So it's a 12.5% contact rate
and then 3.75% callback rate.
Yeah, pretty much.
Now, you could say that's attributed to the fact that I said,
fuck the cover letters,
but I can dish out resumes faster
than it would take me to sit here and customize a damn cover letter every time I was sending out
resumes. I weighed the pros and cons.
What I would do is if they actually reached out and said, hey,
we would like to talk to you. Then I would go, okay, let me actually see what the hell
they actually do and what they're about. Because remember,
when you're doing an interview, you're interviewing them just as much what they're about. Because remember, when you're doing an interview,
you're interviewing them just as much as they're interviewing
you.
Even when I had my old job,
I actually looked for other jobs.
I actually got job offers.
I just turned them down because
when I actually did the interview
and tried to get more about
what they were doing and how they were using it, I realized
I don't want to work there, and I turned down the job offer.
And then assuming
you actually get through phone interviews
and go into real interviews, well,
I guess this is where you're
supposedly no fucking bullshit, like,
what's data structures? What's this algorithm?
You know, this fucking
bullcrap you're not going to use in an actual job.
Yeah, there are books that go over all of that
stuff just you'll find it pretty easily
just know that
it's whatever the hell they're asking
you that's probably the only time
you're going to use it
guide to
coding I thought the book's cool
there's a really good one
the complete coding interview guide yeah there you go Guide to coding. I thought the book's cool. There's a really good one
The complete coding interview guide. Yeah, there you go
That one's in Java, but it basically applies to every other language
That um that data structured algorithm video that trim black
he made a joke that I eat so hard when he made it because he was talking about like,
I think it was like how to traverse like binary trees or something.
He's like, knowing how to traverse a binary tree is really important,
such as when they ask you about it during the interview.
And that's about it.
I was like, true.
If you are writing a library on how to traverse that, unless you're a library developer or you're doing coding interviews,
that's the only time it matters.
No.
Yeah,
pretty much.
And if the thing is,
there's already thousands of libraries to traverse a binary tree.
So no one's going to be doing that.
Nope.
I guess unless,
unless your company is like super cutting edge and it doesn't have like a,
a tree library in it or something
if the
boss that you work for is really so like
I don't know what the word
you even describe it is that he's so anal
about using third party libraries that he
wants to write every single piece of code
himself I'd be like nah bruh
you do you I'm to fuck off over here.
Well, EA has internal libraries they use
for the Unreal Engine rather than using the
built-in libraries.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure they have a use case
where they need extremely...
They need to squeeze out every single ounce of
performance they can get. I can understand.
But if you're just writing fucking
web apps or whatever,
the fucking shit doesn't matter.
Yeah, neither does. I'm trying to think if there's anything else important But I mean, if you're just writing fucking web apps or whatever, it doesn't matter. Yeah.
I don't think there's anything else important I can say about that.
Oh, if you go into an interview and you feel like you don't know anything,
that's, that's okay.
It's totally okay for you not to know, not to know stuff.
What's important is not that you know the answers,
but that you can walk them through how you figure out the answers to problems
you don't know that's what's important because it's far more more more likely on the job that
they're going to ask you to do something and you go i have no fucking clue how to do that i need
to figure it out programmatic thinking that's what's important yep you can learn new libraries
you can learn new language languages you can learn new language uh languages you can learn new constructs
if you can break down a problem in a way where you can actually even if you don't know okay let's say
you're trying to do something like um send something basic like send a json uh a json uh
send some json data in an HTTP packet.
Something like that.
Something super basic.
Even if you don't know how to do either of those things,
if you can understand like,
okay, here's how I break down that problem.
Here's how I should look at it.
That's what's important.
But if you're applying for a web development job
and you don't know how to
do that then you shouldn't be applying for that job by the way please please know how you know
how to send some data over an http packet if you're trying to apply for a web dev job i mean
it depends on what level job it is if it's a if it's a junior job if the company's not fucking
stupid they should basically expect they have to basically teach you a
lot of things that's what i think when i think junior is like you have the basics down maybe
you know a bit more about some things but for probably for the first couple of months i we
probably may need to hold your hand a little bit sure yeah absolutely but there is there's there's
a certain baseline where if you don't like if you don't know what a loop is, please don't apply for the job.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I mean.
They have basic programming understanding.
If they go to an interview and I'm like,
okay, do you do this in an if statement?
And they're like, what's an if statement?
And I'm like, thank you for your time.
Here's the door.
There's a...
I forgot what the...
Someone sent me a link to it a while back
about this person
got really confused about Fizzbuzz
and didn't understand the question.
They didn't even understand
how to approach the problem.
Let's see if I can find the link to it.
Did that break everything?
I don't know.
Probably not.
It should be fine.
Let's see... Is it gonna be here? No, okay, I can't find it. Anyway, yeah, if you
don't know what fizzbuzz is, fizzbuzz is this very famous coding interview question where basically I think it's every number divisible by three,
you print out fizz.
Every number divisible by five, you print out buzz.
And then every number divisible by 15, is it?
You print out fizz buzz?
Is that how it goes?
That's like the logical way to think of it.
The way they'll usually say it
is you count from 1 to 100
if the number is divisible by 3
you print frizz
if it's divisible by 5 you print buzz
if it's divisible by both you print fizz buzz
but the meaning of
divisible by both means
take 3 take 5 multiply them together
that's what the divisor is
they also want you to be able to do some very basic
multiplication because if you can't do that you're also
gonna be screwed um
but yeah
that's a very simple question there's
you can go find thousands of ways
to approach it there are like github posts
where people will post like the most nonsensical
ways to approach that problem
um i think
you can do it in one line in some languages it's that
stupid or you could write like this i've seen some people like write thousands of lines just
to do it just to see how badly they can write it yeah do you want to see some attempts that
when i see them i'm like you're trying too hard go look up fizzbuzz solutions in ruby
ruby's one of those languages
that has like a bunch of like really weird
like clever syntax
but probably only the person
that wrote it knows what the fuck that code even
does ruby fizzbuzz
one liner here we go
oh god
what am i
looking at
okay um i'll zoom in on this Oh god, what am I looking at?
Okay, um, I'll zoom in on this.
And how do we do this?
Is that gonna, is that a show? Yeah, cool, it's on the screen. I'm gonna just send it to you.
I don't know what I'm looking at.
I might, I might not.
Here you go.
I used Ruby back in college once.
This is from RosettaCard, apparently.
The number one, up to
100, basically goes into a loop.
That part I can look, yeah.
Variable in,
puts, fizzbuzz.
I don't know what that part there is.
What's in the square brackets? I don't know what that syntax is.
My Ruby stops at that part there is what's in the square brackets i don't know what that syntax is my my my ruby stops that part yeah like when they ask you a question like fizzbuzz they're not looking for a solution like this what they're looking for is something actually if you write a
solution like this they'll probably get rid of you as well just because you're like you clearly
can't write code
that anyone else is going to be able to read um that's that's very important actually
but they want something where you can actually explain to them like even if you get like even
if you get to the question like that wrong if you can explain to them how this is supposed to work
that's more important because maybe you got like nervous during the interview and made some sort of dumb mistake. But if
you can explain to them like this is why this should work, then that's important.
In fact it is more important than you accessing the answer.
If you can get the answer then they're not dumb. They know that every single coding interview question
is on the internet.
Yep.
So unless they're a company who tries to get you
to build their app for them, which is...
Which also is a...
That's a company you shouldn't work for.
That's when you should do some research on the company.
But they know that every single interview question
is on the internet already or some variation of it. They might change a little bit but this the structure is pretty much
there there's only so many ways you can traverse a binary tree yeah they want you to understand
how you're doing this but they're still not very good coding interview questions the best ones
would be ones that are actually related to the job. Yeah. In fact,
if you all want something extra to watch,
I was on here a long time ago.
I went on like a 45-minute rant
about how fucking shit code interviews are.
Go watch it. I did, didn't you?
I did.
I was even like,
I even clapped my hands so you could see
the fucking video editor to make sure that clip that part.
I don't remember if I made a clip of that one or not. I think I might have
Maybe I did just not the entire rant. I'm not sure
I gave you a hot take and you threw it away. What the fuck?
People can go back to it now and now that now that I have uh far more people watching the channel after dt's
episode you can you can clip it and then go post it in a fucking uh subreddit that's always like
stupid r slash computer science or whatever yeah yeah yeah that they're like re if you don't want
to work fang you're not a real oh yeah jesus christ i don't know why you'd ever want to work in a thing company
no
i never ever wanted to work
for even
even working for the
like the medium sized company i work for now
like i could already tell has
like issues that i'm
going to have with later like being
stuck in meetings so long sometimes
you don't actually fucking get shit done.
Yeah.
I can only imagine how bad that is at a bigger company.
Yeah, you were talking to Will about that in the...
Actually, were you there when Will was talking about that
in the stream yesterday?
I heard him mention, like, stand-ups.
Yeah, his stand-ups that go between 15 and an hour.
Yeah, like, I think I him that uh it's not me because i'm
like newer and at the bottom of the totem pole more or less but like a couple of senior devs
there are literally some days where they don't code they're literally in meetings all day
and that happens so frequently that i was talking to one of the other devs that's like lower level
and i and i was like when the did they even
do when do they get time to do stuff done and they're like he jokes and he's like the weekends
i was like if that's what they would expect to be at some point well you i got to do on
the weekends that would be a worry that's the only world to have about a programming job
when you get to that like crunch time like it's not as big of an issue with some companies but like depending on what like what
part of the industry you're in like crunch time can be a serious problem
i wouldn't say so much as usually crunch time is the problem at least not in my experience it
depends a lot more on your seniority
because it's not one of those things that okay it makes sense that if you're granted higher
seniority there comes with it's a trade-off of extra responsibility one of those being that if
everything goes catches on fire during the weekend your ass has to respond to it probably
that's that's why i kind of have like I kind of want to hire like a more
senior position for more
money but at the same time I like
weekends weekends are nice
yeah I like for my like for my time
to stop at fucking 5 p.m. not
drag on into
yeah yeah I get
that
what else did I send you
I know I sent you a lot of stuff
one thing
you did send that I have no idea what the fuck it
the sleep schedule thing
you sent poly
what does that mean
I'm going to search for it
before we do that let's just find the definition of polyphasic.
Okay. Let's see.
Biophasic sleep or diphasic sleep, bimodal or bifurcated sleep is the practice of sleeping
during two periods over the course of 24 hours, while polyphasic... Am I saying that right? I
don't know. It probably doesn't matter polyphasic, yeah, there we go
sleep refers to sleeping multiple times
usually more than two, each of these in contrast
to monophasic sleep
phasic, whatever, which is one sleep
period within 24 hours, so
sleep, basically taking naps
I'm guessing, like breaking up
just sleep
okay, so to go
into more detail, the reason why I got interested in this was the guy that wrote The 4-Hour Workweek, Tim Ferriss, I think is his name.
He has another book called The 4-Hour Body.
That is a book I really need to read at some point.
That has a lot of very interesting things about things like diet exercise up sleep patterns which is the
thing i was reading about and he um basically talks about how if you want to enter into a period
of like i guess you won't call hyper productivity that these polyphasic sleep schedules tend to be
very attractive because it allows you to operate on much
less sleep without basically feeling tired or at least as tired.
And there's,
there's all kinds of different variations of like how often you take naps and
how long they last.
The particular one that I was trying,
I think the name was called the every man. Cause it's basically like the,
the polyphasic schedule that cuts back the most amount of sleep,
but is has the naps placed in times that is still sensible for somebody who
works at nine to five to still work. Right.
So the way that sleep schedule worked when I was doing it was I went to sleep at 9 PM and I woke up at midnight. Right. So the way that sleep schedule worked when I was doing it was I went to sleep at 9 p.m.
I woke up at midnight. Right. And I stayed awake or I basically took naps at three 20 minute naps.
Once at 4 a.m., once at 8 a.m. and then once at 3 p.m.
3 p.m and the way it works is initially you'll just kind of start get you'll just gradually get more tired as you're trying to do this because you're building up uh sleep depth that's like
you're just getting more and more tired uh but at a certain point there's a mechanism in your body
that'll kick in which is if if your body feels like it's in sleep deprivation when you fall sleep and
you're sleep deprived you instantly fall into uh rapid eye movement sleep when you do most of your
actual resting normally when you have a monophasic sleep schedule you have to stay asleep for like
three or four hours before you go into REM sleep. Uh, but since you're dropping straight into REM sleep,
20 minute nap feels like you slept two hours basically.
So every,
you just kind of take these little naps across the day to sort of keep you
going.
And eventually you'll fall into that rhythm where you kind of start getting
tired,
like maybe like 10 minutes for your nap and you'll just conk right out
and then you'll wake up
almost like you took a full night's sleep
almost and then the cycle
continues.
I was doing it.
The reason why I stopped it
is
I was basically only sleeping four hours a day
is what it amounted to.
I was getting a lot done,
but at a certain point,
I almost... I'm trying to think how to describe it.
I almost feel
kind of depressed.
That's because
I was awake too much.
If that makes sense.
I was awake so much
and not sleeping a lot that i don't
know like it it felt really weird it felt very uncomfortable i feel like you're not supposed to
be awake in between like from like let's say like midnight to six in was i now there's a in the book there's like
a really fucking crazy like extreme end
of it that they describe it's called the
the uberman so the uberman you don't
have a a like a a two or three hour
block of sleep period at all you just take six 20-minute naps, period.
You sleep two hours. That's it.
The example they gave in the book of somebody who did do that for a year
was, I think, the lead engineer of WordPress.
He did it for a year.
He said he had to thought because he got married,
and that doesn't work when you're married.
Yeah, unless you're married to someone who's also doing it.
That would be weird.
What if you have, like, they're doing the Ufaman sleep,
but, like, they line up their sleep so it's in like
the middle of each other's like waking cycle oh god dude you like never see each other that
fucking time so the reason why um i think like the the the less intense ones like the everyman
stuff like that i think you can keep those up for like really long periods of time
those like really crazy ones like uberman you're not you can keep those up for really long periods of time. Those really crazy ones, like
Uberman, you're not supposed to keep those up
for super long because after time
it actually has a very detrimental
effect on your health.
Because at a certain point
your body's like, okay,
homie, you gotta stop.
Your health just
your immune system starts attacking and everything.
Yeah.
Huh.
Yeah, well...
I sleep something that I
wasn't really that interested in until
I think it was like two or three
years ago, there was a...
Everyone's seen this podcast already.
Joe Rogan did a
episode with...
What's his name? Matthew Walker walker episode 1109 really really good
episode um and that sort of opened up my eyes about how like how important sleep actually is
and how important it actually is to get like a good night's sleep and what you can actually do
to improve your sleep like that's the reason i started reading before i go to bed and i've
noticed that when i don't do that yeah it actually is a lot worse than what
how it was going before but that seems like a really a really interesting approach doing sleep
but also potentially really dangerous not just the oom and obviously that one two hours of sleep
every night is or every day i guess is probably not sustainable unless you're like crazy the the thing that makes it
hard to maintain isn't even just the whole thing of uh you know that weird schedule
uh the the more extreme those get the higher risk higher reward they are. Because obviously you're
just literally staying awake for like six
hours more a day in the case of the Uberman.
But if you miss
one nap, it feels like you haven't
slept like two days.
It's that, like it's boom!
It hits you and it really takes like
two or three days of staying on the schedule
to sort of readjust back to it.
It's very very volatile
yeah and it makes it hard to do a lot of things because you can't i mean unless they understand
and they'll like let you do it you you can't like go on trips and stuff or you can't go hang out
because you you literally have to nap for 20 minutes every four hours yeah like the hawk work
otherwise you're gonna crash yeah that reminds me a lot of um i was on keto for a year
it reminds me a lot of that where if you if you stay on keto you will just shed weight and you
will feel great all of the time but the second you eat a donut you're going to die for the next
like three days because we like my wife tried to stay on keto for a while yeah for
anyone who doesn't know keto is where you basically try to keep your um carb intake
basically as low as possible i think most people say below like i think it's 15 20 grams a day it
depends on how like what your weight is um but i think 15 is the general goal and if you eat like a slice of bread
it will put you above that so if you have something like that's actually got a decent
amount of sugar in it like a donut or anything like that you're you're gone for the next couple
of days and the way it works is basically your body uh puts itself into a situation where rather
than burning carbohydrates to our sustainous energy
it's going to be burning fat and turning them into ketones um and when you like that takes a
while to get into that process and when you break the process your body just doesn't know what to do
it just hates you yeah I am going to pull up my
giant fucking diagram
that I was going to talk about
your self-hosted restream thingy
yep
that is really cool
let me
open it
google drive
you have the link don't you I think I do yeah you sent it to me Google Drive, looks like.
Yeah. Oh, you have the link, don't you?
I think I do, yeah, you sent it to me.
I did.
I was about to resend it to you,
and I was like, wait a minute.
Where's the thingy?
Thingy, where are you?
That's, okay, yeah, it wasn't, yeah, I do have it. Get it, Joe, yep's okay. Yeah, it was yeah, I do have it
Yep, cool. Okay. Right now we see we see me the streamer. Okay, let's let's zoom out a bit. There we go
Okay, now hide this is zoom down
I'll have these windows. Yes, I can cool. Nope. No can't hide that one. I can make it
It there we go. Cool. yes I can cool no no I can't hide that one I can make it it there we go now I can see it so the explain it because it's not like it doesn't really fall into the category of like a data flow diagram or something I
just kind of started brainstorming miles on stir yeah yeah is so the circles are
the actual services I want to interact with.
Twitch, YouTube, Facebook.
The diamonds are mechanisms or entry points
from which you have to use to interact with that service.
So for Twitch, we have our IRC service,
which is the real-time chat messages.
The API for getting and updating your personal data
and then the ingest server to push our TMP stream up to.
Same thing, but all of them have ingest servers.
Yeah.
And then in the case of YouTube,
you have to use the YouTube data API streaming.
And then Facebook has a separate live video API,
I think is what I read for that.
The ovals, those are kind of an abstract thing.
What they represent is a responsibility or a feature that will exist within the system.
whether that's a,
like a, um,
like a routine that's being like orchestrated within like a monolith or a
separate service is kind of an information implementation detail.
I haven't really gotten to yet,
but that's just describing like,
these are the individual,
like areas of responsibility within the system,
such as the one that's the whole purpose is to like watch my twitch chat and
push it upstream into like a pub sub so i can aggregate it yeah like how restream has a chat
but yeah and then obviously all those services need some way for you to control your account
update your stream title descriptions blah blah blah blah blah, blah, blah, all that stuff.
And as of right now,
the whole purpose of all of those essentially
is to...
It's two responsibilities.
One is to do the multi-streaming itself,
which is actually
extremely easy to set up.
And then the actual chat
aggregation is the more complicated part.
But it's really just, you know, start watching everything's chat.
Put it in, I don't know, fucking Rez or something.
Have another service subscribe to all those topics.
And then push them up to something connected via WebSocket,
like a chat embed.
And then put chat embed in OBS and clap. Here you go.
You're multistreaming.
Okay.
The multistreaming part,
the reason why it's so easy is
there's an
open source module for NGINX
that's for RTMP.
Literally, all you have
to do to be able to
take the incoming RTmp stream and push it
upstream to something else is literally one line fake okay so basically so the way i'm seeing it
here is you would take obs you would give it the key to your rtmp server you're going to host on
some sort of some sort of vps somewhere um and then you would basically just push out that stream to the ingest
servers for twitch youtube and facebook and whatever whatever else you want to um correct
basically use okay you got it so what's so the only part that makes it a little more complicated
is so the way and you probably understand, the way Twitch handles live streaming and the way something like YouTube handles live streaming
are different.
Twitch, your profile is technically always live.
Right.
Your RTMP address and stream key and shit never change.
Yeah.
YouTube and Facebook, you're not always live.
The terminology Restream uses, they're event-driven.
Every time you want to go live, you have to create a new event.
Each new event has a new stream key, a new RTMP URL, and a new chatroom address.
So I would basically have to engineer it so that some way,
when I created a new YouTube event or a new Facebook event,
it would trigger something that causes the RTMP server
that's using Nginx to update the config and reload Nginx.
Right.
So I'm sure that YouTube has some way to query your scheduled events.
Yes.
So basically you would make it on either Facebook or YouTube and then mirror it over to the
other service, I would assume.
Yes.
Okay.
And then basically just pull your stream key from that through whatever method makes the
most sense for those services.
That makes sense.
So what sort of VPS capabilities would you actually need to make something like this
practical uh well vps wise so i actually they're not pushing upstream i actually already made like
a doc image that actually has nginx the rtmp module and ffmpeg compiled into it.
FFmpeg is not technically necessary.
You can use FFmpeg if you want to actually be able to stream directly from your server itself.
Like actually have something like consume the stream from your server.
Because what you can do with FFmpeg is take the incoming stream and adapt it to these other formats that
allow the adaptive bitrate
rendering. You know like on
YouTube if you're like bandwidth shit
it scales down your resolution?
Yeah.
Like that.
Okay.
Yeah. I test
tried that and it kind of ran
like shit but I wasn't sure
if that was because
the way it was implemented or because it was
running on literally the cheapest
droplet digital ocean has
so how much do you think you'd be paying
digital ocean or node
whoever you decide to go with
to actually have something where you could practically stream to three platforms at once what do you reckon that would put you in
the range of um well the droplet droplet can basically be running very low resources because
actually most of this stuff is just uh more like i guess seeing how much network usage would be used yeah that's part of where most of
the costs would come from um i forget how some of them have different rules about how network
costs are calculated and i some of them i forget how it works exactly i think it's like
incoming traffic is counted but outgoing traffic isn't. I forget how
it works. I feel like at some point
there's going to be some little note in the
terms of service where
outgoing traffic would be important.
I mean, yeah,
it probably is. It'd be
one of those things where I'd probably
just have to get the
multistreaming part working
and then one time instead of using Restream
I'd just try it and then just time instead of using Restream I just try it
and then just watch the analytics and see what
the data usage looks like
that makes sense
so to
formally answer your question I have no
fucking clue
not the cheapest one that's the answer
but hopefully
cheaper than what you'd be able to do with
Restream I would hope
possibly
the advantage I would have with this
I want to have it in so that
I could just tear it down and throw it back up
on a whim
which would help a lot
on the cost because obviously all those
they only charge you while running so if i only start it up when i'm going to use it and then i
just tear it back down that substantially reduces the cost yeah well another problem with restream
is it's fairly cheap to do two services but if you want to do any more than that, then the price goes way, way up.
Especially also if you want to,
I was doing, which was multi-streaming
to something besides a Facebook personal profile.
For some reason, they charge you more
if you want to live stream to a professional page or group.
They make you get the $19 a month service.
Okay, so let's see. I'm looking at it right
now. There is the...
So the free version
is useless. Don't ever use the
free version. No point.
So $16 a month...
Actually, sorry. I was wrong. $16 a month
gives you one extra destination, so you can
stream to YouTube and
Twitch. But if you wanted to go to
facebook as well then you have to go to professional version which is 41 a month
i think it was on sale when i read that because i was i definitely was
okay well it's 41 right now anyway there's no fucking way i'd pay you 41 dollars for that so yeah as long as it's as long as it's like i don't know let's say 30 a month that would put
you i don't know why there's not a plan in between those two that's really weird
like why is not one for streaming to two platforms at a time that oh sorry two extra platforms that
there's and then the next one above that is 10 destinations like what is this
what is this billing
yeah I can see why you're doing this
well see the thing
I don't know if I said this or not
whenever I talk to you or not
the reason I ultimately decided to do this
because they had no billing
it had to do with the fact of
so do you I think you may remember this because this
was kind of relevant whenever i was still doing like youtube and stuff more frequently before
was you remember how a little bit of hype got generated when basically uh like a twitch a
chinese twitch knockoff called trovo kind of got hyped up. I wanted to leverage that hype,
but I had to wait for Restream
to integrate the fucking platform to do it.
So,
one, they took longer
than I wanted to even integrate it.
Baseline, where you can multi-stream to it,
which I don't know how their
shit is set up, but if it was using
my setup, it would take 10 fucking seconds.
But, I think even to this day now it's not integrated like the chat bot relays stuff like it does on like youtube and
stuff and to me i think that kind of defeats the purpose of it to some extent uh so and that
aggravated the fuck out of me i really wanted to be able to kind of ride the hype a little bit,
but I got fucked up.
So I want to be able to say,
Oh,
there's this platform.
We want to stream to,
okay,
well,
I already have all these existing architecture in this existing code base.
And I probably already have some patterns in place by that point.
All I do is okay.
Drop an extra line in my engine.
Next config,
uh,
kind of probably not take much time to
create another chat aggregator for that platform ta-da integration right here's what you do okay
right uh you get all this set up put it up as like the entire thing is like a docker image
i pay you 16 a month and there we go now other people start paying you every month and
they you're eliminating the need for restream you've just basically undercut them and now you
don't have to work a job anymore well here's what i want to do if this would start to mature to the
point where i want to take it from something that i just use to something that normies could use
that I just used to something that normies could use
is I actually would like to be able
to take it and make something
and mature it to the
point where somebody just said
hey I want to start doing my own
restreaming and like
run like one script or something
and boom their own
multi-streaming architecture set up
well yeah restreaming is probably
awesome
there are other services besides restream like stream labs you can do it through streaming architecture setup. Well, yeah, Restream is probably... I don't know if people want to talk to me on YouTube or something.
There are other services besides Restream,
like Streamlabs, you can do it through,
but they're all...
I feel like they're all way overpriced.
It's like...
Well, it's not even necessarily...
To me, the price isn't really the issue.
It's...
Again, it's...
$41 a month.
It's the speed.
Yeah.
It's speed when I want to be able to
adapt to where my content's going as i see fit yeah and the fact of the matter is i don't i
don't give a shit how agile i don't give a shit how lean these places are they will never be able
to move as fast as just one bearded boy in his fucking room can move.
Well, yeah, you can, like, let's say that a library's like,
hey, we're just going to do, we're going to start livestreaming,
which is something they're working on.
I have heard whispers through the grapevine.
That'd be nice.
You could add that pretty simply.
Like, they're going to wait for a while.
People are going to ask them. If you want to do it, you can just go set it up yourself yeah pretty much like i i would probably
some way or so i would be like hey tell me what the rpmp the rtmp address is next day boom hey
guess what we are live on i guess it'd be obviously probably not. Yeah. But yeah,
that,
well,
if you,
if they do start
doing the live stream,
then you want it to
stream over there,
then they are
fairly helpful.
Like Tom,
you can get into
contact with pretty
easily.
Um,
and I'm sure like
even Jeremy would be
like,
yeah,
okay,
we'll help you out
with this.
I would just be like,
gentlemen,
you just give me an
RTMP address and you give me, you just give me an RTMP address
and you tell me how to
interact with whatever...
I'm good to go.
We live, gentlemen.
Because that would be massive, being able to
stream to YouTube and then
library at the same time.
That
right there, that's how you undercut restream.
But no, that actually would be really cool and I would definitely
be interested in using that even if it's jank as hell
and I have to like hack it to get it working
being able to host something like that
myself would be cool
yeah
yeah it's just cool
I hope that goes well for you
excellent I mean if you want to mess with it I think it's just cool i hope that goes well for you actually i mean if you want to mess with it uh i think it's still private uh i can actually invite
you to the repo where i was starting to work on stuff it actually already has the docker for the
rtmp server is it like are you actually able to use it to stream anywhere yet or is that still
work in progress um you can stream to it it does not have
any settings in it to upstream somewhere else but like i said okay upstream rtmp
colon slash slash youtube whatever blah blah okay you're upstream that's all you got yeah yeah
uh yeah i might actually
if you want to do that I'll definitely have a look
and then when you go public with it
I'll definitely talk about it for sure
just let me know when you're doing that
where else we got in
well we're an hour 20 in
I think we're late enough in where we can bother
people with VTubers now
oh no
so um yeah
how did that happen
um
so I already know
who Project Melody was
anybody that watches like
the quartering or something do because
she pissed off every single thought on OnlyFans
a long time ago.
It was one of those
things that I think
some animation
got memed really hard. I think the animation
was based off a VTuber.
It's that like
Banjo-Kazooie like Ikum Bukum
animation. Do you know what I'm talking about
it's based off
the vtuber the
name is
you cut out
ah hold on there
yeah I think it was based off her
and because I watched
youtube was like here here's more
vtuber shit
I don't know what it is about YouTube,
but if you watch a VTuber clip,
you will see nothing but VTuber clips.
That's because that probably makes them so much fucking money.
Yeah, that's probably it, to be honest.
I don't think there's any conspiracy here.
It's just like,
they know how much fucking money they're making from this.
I forgot.
Was it on one of the podcast episodes or something?
Didn't you and someone else
make the note that like the like top
10 or whatever like
income earners on there is like
V2 and then like 10
there's like 3 or 4
I think at the time it was
Coco
might have been the biggest
no wait was it Coco
someone was making like 20 grand a month through Super Chats.
Oh, God.
And then going down the list, it was just all other VTubers
and then Tim Pool.
And then more VTubers.
I'm just like, okay, sure, Tim Pool's here for some reason.
But I mean, of course YouTube pushes it
because they're like, holy shit, everybody loves all these
waifus here.
Take it, shove it in their feeds all the time. Let's see if we can find the link again actually
Is super chat real money? What the fuck kind of question is that? Thank you. Yes, it's fucking
Can't find it
Top super chat earners.
Where is this link?
Is this going to take me to it?
Oh, God.
Okay.
Is there a link in this article that...
Just...
Oh, my God. Someone just give me a link to the page.
Is this it?
Okay.
Yeah, here we go.
Okay, so.
Right now, top channel is, uh, is Odushia.
With...
Oh, sorry, that's total earning.
Fuck.
1.7 million total earned
on her channel.
Oh my god.
Oh, what, is it a month?
No, that's total.
Just overall total.
Oh, total, okay.
Okay, for the...
I said 20,000.
I meant 200,000.
You dropped a zero there, homie.
I'm looking at...
It is Australian dollars,
so just take 30 grand off of that,
but still...
Still a house.
Also, then YouTube's cut.
It's still a lot.
So, Coco is number one.
Second one is Ardushia.
Third one is not a VTuber.
This is Good Mythical Morning.
I don't know who that is.
Really? Good Mythical
Morning?
Then fourth is Lamy
Hololive 5th Generation
Then Kuzaha who is
Nichisanji
Aqua
More Hololive
Right Side Broadcasting Network which is a
right wing news
channel
Then Pekora who is Hololive.
Fuwaminato, who I don't recognize
that name.
Someone called Bintroll.
I don't know who that is.
They play Among Us by the looks of it.
Here we go.
Morikalaepi,
Takanashi Kiara,
Matsuri Kanata, and then Tim Pool again.
Well, apparently at least some other places have broken in
I remember when you was there was like
the top 10
yeah it definitely was
yeah this was pre
Mahorolai VN
once you get past a couple
of like random ones like that
now it's Gura
Marin, Korone, Noel, Hachama
Flair and
Yeah, it's just just lots of YouTubes. They like they make lots of money
that's
And this is just YouTube if you go look at say how much like yeah, someone like Nyan is or Melody's making on Twitch
Yeah, mmm Yeah like, someone like Nyan is or Melody's making on Twitch. Yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah. You were saying about
Melody, that's the last
thing we talked about before we talked about how much
money they're making. It was kind of one of those things where
I watched this, then I watched
this, and YouTube was like, here, have
20,000 VTubers shoving your face.
Now, I think the only two I, like, tend to sort of this and YouTube was like here have 20,000 vtubers shoving your face mmm now
I think I think the only two I like tend to sort of frequently watch videos from
them is Janiers and Iron Mouse okay I like those two yeah those two are pretty funny players
yeah yeah they're great I occasionally watch some Nyanas clips.
There was one that I've watched actually a couple of times now.
What's the company?
The sword company that she loves?
I saw that video.
I didn't watch it yet, though.
Cold Steel.
Cold Steel is the one I'm thinking of.
You just have a fat dude in a suit.
And they'll just cut like stupid things.
Like one time there was a boot
full of meat. For some reason.
I think there was like a
tatami mat
full of milk.
I don't know why.
Sure, okay.
I think the video that I watched that was like, okay.
Of Nianers was, it was kind of a recent one.
She like played some game where it was like a cooking simulator thing.
Oh my God.
The stupid fucking things that she was trying to make and all the mistakes that she was making.
Oh my God.
It is good to see that
that group actually is starting up.
There's actually a company
forming up. It's not just, hey, here's
Hololive and Nijisanji in Japan.
Now there's actually companies forming
in the West as well. So they're part of
what are they called? V-Shojo
now. So that's Melody,
Iron Mouse, Nyanas,
I forget the rest of them those are the big names
there i did not say there's a person that uh that started that didn't he like he was like some big
person at twitch before or something like that could be i'm not too sure i forget where i heard
that i think whoever the guy started that I heard either
I think they said they were one of the people that made
Twitch or they were like someone really high up
in Twitch
oh jeez okay
but VTubers are only getting
bigger
maybe I should become a VTuber
I did say I looked into that process
just because I was really fucking curious
but even like male Vtubes are growing a lot
that's the weird thing
really? I haven't seen a single
male Vtuber
they're nowhere near as big
but
I think the biggest western
one is probably WooHooLad
but WooHooLad's a special exception
because he uses a female fox girl avatar.
But he doesn't pretend to be a girl at all.
He talks like the deepest voice possible.
It's like, all right then.
You know who would probably be the biggest one
if he just actually made...
...made, just used it
Nux
Nux
Nux actually is probably the biggest
But Nux also has like a
There's no reason
Why he couldn't afford a live 2D model
That guy's
He's had a big channel
For years
But I guess he's happy doing what he's doing
yeah actually uh i didn't i didn't even know who he was his
watching youtuber stuff and then i was like oh there's this guy i was like
i was like i i didn't know who that was. He started showing up in my recommends after I
started watching VTuber stuff, and I was like,
this guy's fucking hilarious. I love this dude.
I love Nox. Nox is great.
I don't watch
a ton of the
Western VTubers, but
yeah,
I do like Nyanis stuff when it does
pop up in my feed.
I've mainly been watching a lot of uh
hololive en recently so mainly go ahead i was gonna say mainly i'm watching uh a lot of enos
streams right now she'll do drawing streams and they're just they're nice to have on in the
background and just listen to just listen to her talk about nothing, really.
Just draw.
It's nice and relaxing.
I should probably do that one day when I'm working or something.
Depends on when they stream, I guess.
Yeah, I usually go back and watch the VODs.
Oh, true.
But the good thing for me with the
Japanese VTubers is that
my time I think is an hour
behind Japanese time
so as long
as there's someone that's not like
Matsuri who likes to stream at 4 in the morning
I can usually watch it live
I was going to ask I was going ask i was gonna show you something yes
remember that um that image i showed you that i was i was like me and my wife or i was trying to
like talk my wife into like playing with the idea of actually making like a 2d vtuber thing
so you can retire i showed you the image
i was um i was gonna show you or show you her patreon
holy fuck she she needs more attention she does good stuff yeah yeah cool we'll do that
take this there's there there may be booba not naked booba but there is booba
i'll i'll check the the the booba ones have to be like behind
paywall because of how patreon works anyway
well okay we'll just show
the top of it
there's just tentacles this is fine
you can already see some of the art here anyway
yeah all the stuff that's like adult stuff
has to be behind paywall anyway
because patreon's like oh no boob, boobies have to be paid
Yeah
No booba
No booba allowed
Yeah
Go support Barn Closet, I guess
Also, she makes really nice
Twitch emotes, if you're a streamer and you need emotes
Go look at her shit
Go get her to do it.
That's not a bad idea, actually.
I might do that.
I'll just...
I'll just take off one of your Patreon payments.
Just don't pay me for a couple of months.
That's how it'll work.
You can pay her for me.
Gosh.
No, but. Uh,
nah, but, yeah, that's actually really cool.
Um,
I'll have to come have a look at this a bit more.
I do actually like a lot of the art here.
If you want the skin
bits, go subscribe to...
Yeah, yeah, it's, uh,
is it just
the, what tier do you have to be to see that? Is it just any tier? Uh, it's the, yeah, it's, uh... Is it just the... What tier do you have to be to see that?
Is it just any tier?
Uh, it's the...
Shit, I gotta go back on that now.
It's...
I think it's called lewd bone.
Remember how that tier's called?
Oh, it seems like most of them, it's just...
Uh...
It's the bone support to see the posts here.
The ones that are, like, not safe for work
is the one called
Lewd Bone. The $5 one.
Oh, yeah.
That's cool.
I do want to get back
into drawing.
I've got an art book, like, sitting in my closet.
I just haven't... I need to use it. you draw i didn't know you drew uh yeah a little bit but not for a long time
more like it was never i was good at it's just like i enjoy drawing
right yeah you know like most people when they're younger do um i never i never did okay wait why did he why people mention oh wait no
i thought someone mentioned me on um on matrix and i remembered that the uh
the that's actually kind of weird the matrix discord bridge if someone at you on discord
actually does send you a notification about it on matrix as well so it actually links up the
accounts pretty well like
that which is surprising interesting i've never actually used uh any matrix thing yet
it it's not great that's what i'll say it's still very much it only came out of beta this year
and it still very much feels like an early project but i do think
there's definitely like a grain of this is something that can actually be a legitimate
competitor to discord or or maybe a modern way to do chat for like projects because no one wants to
use irc i know there's some people who like it IRC or die, but you're not bringing in new developers using IRC.
It's just not happening.
No.
I've never actually even been in an IRC chat room before.
It is a better approach than doing Discord, though,
because there is a lot of reasons why you shouldn't probably be using Discord
if you are running an open-source project.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Who knows what
data they're harvesting.
I just expect them
to be stealing everything they can get their hands on.
Pretty much.
Well, here's a topic
about me. I actually started
learning Japanese
recently. Did you? Yes. topic that uh about me i actually started learning um japanese recently did you yes
yeah i made my made my way through hiragana and katakana uh it's actually not that difficult
i this is the easy part um the hard part is actually you know vocabulary and grammar and
stuff learning the alphabet is fine uh at least those alphabets. I'm probably going to just stream doing some some oney
conny stuff, doing some learning kanji streams, which is just going to be me
being an absolute moron, having no idea what any of these symbols mean.
But I think it'll be fun.
There was there was a period of time
back before I went to college where I was trying to teach myself Japanese.
I didn't really get very far with it.
I think I probably should go back to that at some point
because I actually still have general interest.
You cut out right at the end.
I still have genuine interest in doing that.
I just need extra time to really sit down and do it.
Yeah, I don't spend a ton of time.
I try to spend as much time as I can.
Like usually, I don't know, maybe like six or seven hours a week,
which is probably more than I really need to be doing.
But it's fun.
Like learning, I don't know,
learning another language is something interesting
that I've never really thought of doing before.
I don't know.
I just wanted to give myself a different sort of challenge
because I've done programming stuff before
and I've done some electronic stuff before,
but I've never really done anything like trying to learn a second language.
So it's just this new sort of challenge that
hey, it's something I was already interested in anyway
so let's just see how it goes.
We know you secretly wanted to learn it
so you can become a VTuber.
Yeah, partially.
No, no.
I want to learn it to watch anime without subtitles.
That's the better answer.
Ah, yeah.
Then you'd be the Chad weeb.
I have, like, something that I have noticed now is whenever I notice any hiragana or katakana,
I just have to stop and read what it says.
Like, I was just filling some boxes at work last night
and I noticed, like, the name of the product.
I guess it was a Japanese product.
It wasn't obviously Japanese.
I think it was, like, it's an Italian-style product
made in Japan, for whatever reason.
And I just noticed the name, and I was like,
okay, I'm going to stop and try to read this.
Could you read it?
Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
It was just, it used to be the katakana nothing too
difficult did you uh take anything like japanese related by college uh no there was a japanese
class and the entire class was full of weebs what okay i think i'll say i think it was full of weebs
and there was maybe one person who was Japanese who wanted a really easy high grade.
Because it was like, it was like beginners Japanese.
So, hey, if you already know fluent Japanese, there's your easy A there.
I had a Japanese class, but it wasn't a language class.
We had to have a a cultural credit
so I took
a Japanese culture class
and it had nothing to do with the language
it was kind of talking about Japanese
like culture and norms in their society
and stuff that I thought was pretty interesting
and we actually watched a couple of old japanese
movies too to explain like certain societal concepts in there and actually is the reason
why when i was playing ghost of tsushima there's four different sayings that goes to tsushima for
audio there's english english subtitle uh it's called thing it's called samurai cinema which
is basically just Japanese with English
subtitles. And then there's a fourth
one that I immediately actually
knew who it was called Akira Kurosawa
mode. Akira
Kurosawa is basically this
old famous Japanese
filmmaker.
In that mode, it's the same thing
but also there's like this filter
applied that makes the the game
look like an old granulated like film yeah that's interesting i was like i get the reference yay
yeah that's i i don't think it's probably the best way to play the game but it
because i hear like okay i hear i've seen how the game looks
edit it is a beautiful looking game like the art direction that game is fantastic like obviously
it may not be the highest fidelity game out there but the art direction looks amazing oh yeah
part of me i wouldn't do it soon now part of me wants to get one
just so I can
play it on there and get
I really hate discord right now
fucking discord
I want to run it
on one of those newer consoles
I want to see what it looks like
like constant 60 FPS
yeah I've got a
base model PS4,
so I can't imagine...
I do too.
Yeah, I can't imagine it to be the most amazing experience.
I mean, if you watch me play,
like I said, the PS4
is a base model.
So, like,
the only time there's, like, loading
is when you start it.
Otherwise, it does a really good job of just loading
and as you're going
okay that's good
you know I'm just
I might just use my Linode sponsorship
to fucking host a gypsy server like I was saying earlier
because this discord is
pissing me off today
it's been getting worse and I don't know why
it's been getting worse
I don't know
I actually don't know why it's getting worse
I don't know
just another reason to not use
discord
I mean technically speaking
the only reason it might
the only thing you could do to make it better
maybe is
I think they usually award
or they usually kind of allocate like higher
like look more
priority and higher quality
audio and video streams to like
servers
if you have like certain like maybe
I don't know if you have to be like community server
or boosted or some shit yeah so maybe maybe you might benefit if the next time you try still doing it on discord
that you maybe you just make like a private like hey this is like the podcast interview chat room
and you just like you know you want someone in there i don't know if you can do video chat like
that in the server, though.
Oh, right. True. That's right. Maybe.
Oh, wait. No, I think you
can do video chat in the server. Yeah.
I think they added that a while back.
Maybe.
I'm not sure.
It might at least be worth
trying if you want to try.
Otherwise, just tell Discord to go eat a
fucking dick and go try something else.
Yeah, I can just turn that Jitsi video into an ad.
So I don't actually have a contract with them
where I have to actually do ad reads.
It's basically just like an affiliate program.
Right, yeah.
You might have seen...
I think, yeah, Linux for Everyone has a similar setup with them.
Where basically you use the link,
you get a free, I think $100 credit,
and he doesn't have to read it.
You just do it because otherwise
people aren't going to know the link's actually there.
Right, yeah.
But I actually had two companies contact me.
It was Linode and a random coffee company.
Coffee company?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was just like this little coffee company who...
I would have done it.
The problem was they only shipped to the US,
so I couldn't try what they had.
Mate, have you heard my voice?
I'm not in the...
The coffee could have been amazing, but if you're not going to
ship to me i i can't try it and if i can't try it then i'm i'm not gonna i'm not gonna use it
i'm not gonna support it i guess i i think if i ever got one of those offers whether it's
or who the hell ever i think i would probably immediately take it just so i could leverage it and actually some some of those things i was like jokingly running on like raspberry pods here like
nest cloud or whatever i would actually be like hey guess what boom i'm putting that shit on that
node well you like um i don't remember what his position was uh i think community manager or
something or marketing something or other um He seems like a pretty chill dude.
And if you're going to do a video on it, then he was like,
yeah, we can arrange some credits for that.
That's fine.
We can do that.
I mean, I wouldn't do it now anyway.
Well, yeah, obviously.
Oh.
Well, obviously you don't have the sponsorship.
But I mean, if you did.
Yeah.
If you're like, hey, I want to do this video where i'm gonna put whatever
your next cloud server onto onto the node then they would be happy to help you with that
the thing i was gonna ask you about about just kind of video recording editing stuff um so i've
been trying to decide with me having to do work all and now
trying to decide how i actually want to do video recording right and as of right now i'm almost
kind of taking a i guess kind of the same approach that luke does which is just i don't record a
video unless i have a video to record yeah uh so but what i did think about doing i'm just not sure about it yet
was i would try to pick a a series of days maybe like two or three and already have like a big long
list of things set up and i would literally just take like two or three days and literally just
record like two weeks worth of videos and then just have them all go up at once instead of that stupid
god awful shit i was trying to do before where i do it every day yeah dt does that i don't know
how he does it it's weird because he uploads a lot well like i think the stuff that you all talk
about i think it's kind of more because there's there's always stuff for y'all because you only go off of like red or something like you even said that before.
But the thing where I'm trying to always like take something I haven't like taught and then make a video about it like that, that's kind of harder.
Like I have a very finite list of things I can kind of really talk about.
Yeah, yeah.
I can kind of really talk about.
Yeah, yeah.
I also have to start getting into, like,
more involved videos here at some point where I, like, make full things
because at some point I'm just going to run out of things
where I'm just like,
hey, here's the way you do this thing with the thing and go.
That's basically all my videos are right now.
Well, to be fair,
there's still a lot of baseline introduction
you can definitely cover. Like, I don't think you've covered like the rtmp stuff on your channel
yet have you uh well no but that's not also not using that's using hengen a ah yes well okay uh
i'm sure now now i could certainly make a video about, hey, here's how you TMP search for yourself. That's the thing I could do.
Yeah, well, I don't think you necessarily have to only do the Go stuff.
Oh, no, I don't.
That's kind of my shtick right now.
Yeah.
But you get the point I'm trying to say.
There is a lot of baseline stuff you can do, but...
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you will eventually have to start like move like building upon that like
okay here's this thing i did and here's this other thing i did here's a bigger thing that
combines them yeah the other thing i'm i'm going if i like start pivoting to other like full
subjects um i'm not going to pivot to another language because I know I see people do this.
I know there's a bunch of different videos.
Brad does stuff on JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, Go, blah, blah, blah.
But I think they kind of clash because generally you use one language for one thing.
I would prefer if I went to another subject,
it's something that you would perhaps need to use in tandem with Go to build something.
Right.
So like maybe my next like big long series of things would be about like,
I don't know, doing SQL or something.
And then something else would be, oh, here's Mongo.
Oh, here's Redis.
Oh, here's some other tool you probably need to use with Go.
Yeah.
So they all kind of go together.
That actually goes together with the point I was saying before about setting the RTMP server.
Because you could have, okay, here's setting up the RTMP server.
And then here's building an interface to interact with it.
True.
And, yeah, I actually think it's a really good approach to do it.
Because the problem I think you get when you start covering other languages is you realize you're making the same video
but you're just doing it in a different syntax.
I don't want to do that.
But you said there's a question in here somewhere.
Well, I think what what what did you
what was your opinion do you do you think it sounds smarter depending on how much you know
time i want to invest into it at all that i just kind of do this whole like well i'm just going to
do the videos become convenient to do or does it sound like a good strategy to just do the whole thing where i
like pick a block of days and go okay i'm just gonna share like a month worth of videos the way
that i think about it is if you want to be consistent i think the best way to do it is to
bulk record okay um yeah you can do them like okay here here i i have a topic for a video
say like on a wednesday or something but let's say you're actually busy on that day Yeah, you can do them like, okay, here I have a topic for a video,
say like on a Wednesday or something,
but let's say you're actually busy on that day.
Well, then you can't go and record the video.
But if you write down that idea, come back to it on your bulk recording day,
then you can, you know, just put all of those together.
It also gives you a bit more time to think about the topic because maybe you realize realize like okay there's not actually a whole video here or maybe you realize maybe there's too much for a single video
and by giving yourself a few extra days to think about it also does help in that respect as well
but the big one for me is consistency because there's just like sometimes i just want to do
some other stuff i don't i don't want to
record every day i did that for a while and what i realized is that i never had like as much as i
love making videos doing videos every day you it starts to drain on you because even though it's
the same amount of time you're spending it feels like it's more time because you're, I don't know how to explain it.
Rather than doing it all in one,
one big session,
we can get it all out of the way.
Having it spread out just makes it feel like it's taking longer than it would
be.
Plus,
obviously you have to make sure that you're not clashing with stuff on that
day as well.
And it's just some days you just don't feel like recording.
But if you give yourself,
actually, that's another point.
If you give yourself,
these are the days that I record,
then you can put yourself in the mindset like,
okay, when I get to,
let's say you do it on Thursday, Friday, for example.
When I hit Thursday,
this is the time that I am in the position
where I'm going to record.
So you start getting yourself into the habit
where when you get to that point, this is when I'm going to record. So you start getting yourself into the habit where when you get to that point, this
is when I'm going to work.
Okay, that makes sense. It's similar to
how time
blocking works, where you
allocate, here is where
I'm going to work, and
this is what I'm going to do during that time.
Okay, that makes sense.
I know other people take different roads too but that's that's how that's what i've found has been the best for me
that's something i was going to tell you about i remember when i was
you and dt talk you asked him do you record all in one go or do you blank it up in the clips? Something I actually
tried doing in the last two videos
and I coined
a term for this.
I know.
Since I tried to do all the
editing in the scripts
and I have the Python
script, what I tried to
do is I can only call the approach
live editing is what I called the approach. I can only call the approach live editing is what I
called the approach where,
so I don't,
I don't stop the recording and I try,
I usually do things on the spur of the moment anyway.
So if I want to do something like transition to like the screen where you
see my code or transition back to my face when I'm talking or something,
what I do is I mute my mic,
use OBS, change to the
scene, unmute my mic, and then
I start talking again because
when the Python script does this thing,
that looks like an edit. It looks like a jump
cut.
And I actually tried that with, I think, the last
video, and I was like, that actually
worked pretty fucking good.
Why do you not want to have the transitions in there
it's just
I think it just
I think it the thing with
those kind of tutorial videos
I just
right because it's a tutorial
video nobody fucking watches the whole
tutorial video they jump to the part they want to fuck off that's what everybody does well you can set your duration
your fade duration or whatever duration inside of obs to zero milliseconds and then that effectively
eliminates transition as well well it does yeah the main reason i do that is one it it guarantees
that there's not like something weird stuck in there whether
it's like although I didn't stop speaking or something or there have been times where I did
do something a little extra when I was doing it like that I think uh when I was like making the
emphasis of the point that was about to use Pokemon to explain what type switches were and go
I switched to the full cam, but then
intentionally went into the camera settings and
zoomed the camera in, so it looked like it was a
jump cut to a zoom.
Aha, okay.
That's what I meant by live editing.
I get set there and do things
to prepare the scene, and then basically start
talking again, and it looks like a jump cut.
Wait, with your...
What are you using for your your cameras it just
that's the scene of the same camera you have okay wait so were you did you manually zoom it in
i did you know you can open up this thing huh you know you can script that i do but that was
at the spur of the moment.
I hadn't prepared for that yet.
Right, okay.
I was going to say, because that's weird for you not scripting it.
Actually, I know you can do a bunch of shit with it.
I need to actually dig into that and see what I can do with that,
because I can figure out some weird shit to do.
Yeah, V4L Utils is great.
I use it. That's why my... You know what gonna do it i'm gonna do it live okay here we go
oh uh we're gonna there we go this is how my camera looks if i don't fix everything
like look at this this is garbage oh god um but i run v4o utils so I've just got a script called
fix cam
and basically it fixes
everything it fixes my
overexposure and all that
yeah
there is a couple of I think there's a couple of tools besides
V4L utils that you can mess around with stuff
but this is the main one
I think I
I have some variants of that script that i joined from your repo but i don't really
use it that much because i think the obs settings tend to override it anyway yeah obs is weird like
that because it doesn't save the settings but it also messes with what you've done through v4
util so i never actually open up the properties because if you touch properties, it resets everything.
Right, yeah.
Rather than, like, querying the webcam for its current settings,
it's just like, no.
No, I'm just going to reset them.
It doesn't matter.
So I wonder if I'll do it now.
We're going to do it.
I'll show you.
That one's mine.
Yep, cool.
Actually, wait.
Maybe it'll be fine because it's in Discord?
Yeah, it will be because I'm not actually capturing the...
Yeah, it will be fine because I'm not capturing the webcam directly.
I'm capturing the OBS...
Sorry, capturing the Discord thingy of the webcam.
Yeah.
Have you missed
there's a plug-in
for OBS that allows you to
basically use
the
video being rendered
in OBS as a
webcam.
What do you mean?
Oh, wait, I know what you're saying.
I think it's called V4L Sync.
I haven't. No, I didn't even know about that.
Yeah, I messed with it one day.
That's kind of cool. What were you doing with it?
I was just...
I think when I was doing one of my jobs,
I was using that
because you're using OBS
as a webcam.
You can use all your scenes and shit.
And I was just like...
I was like...
They were interested in like,
oh, you do YouTube and streaming.
What does that look like?
And I was like, well, actually,
my webcam is using OBS.
You want to see some of the scenes
that I was actually transitioning to the scenes
and like explaining stuff to them.
OBS Studio Output Plugin for Video for Linux 2 Device.
That's really cool.
It's in the Arch repository, I think.
I will have to do a video on that.
I recently did a video on uh it's not up yet uh
it'll be up i think tomorrow on droid cam oh right yeah uh you don't actually need the i don't know
why there's an obs plugin for it the obs plugin is useless because when you use droid cam it creates
a webcam device for the actual phone so what theBS plugin does is just skips that step
and just lets you select the phone directly,
which doesn't really have any purpose.
I'll say to you what is potentially a headache.
When you install that v4lsync plugin,
it does not create the device.
You have to manually create the virtual device.
And then when you start it, you have to tell it what the device. You have to manually create the virtual device. And then when you start,
when you started,
you have to tell it what the device says to send the feed to.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's not that bad.
No.
I can't think of when I would use that.
Besides,
yeah.
Unless I needed to show something,
someone like show something to someone and I couldn't screen share for some
reason.
Well, you probably wouldn't need to do it but the reason i was using it mostly was because again one to look at my fancy scenes another thing was because i hadn't actually gotten around
to doing like stuff with like v4l2 yet so most of my webcam editing is done in OBS, so that allows
me to use the OBS filters and stuff
and still use webcam.
Yeah.
If I'm just doing it with
V4L anyway, then it's not really that big of a deal.
I can still have those filters anyway.
Huh.
I like that. That's
cool.
The only use you might get out of it, maybe,
would be as if...
Well, no, you already have...
Never mind, I'm dumb, because you're recording anyway.
Never mind, that's dumb.
I was going to say, maybe you could somehow use it for, like...
But you're already recording in OBS with the scenes.
That doesn't make any sense.
It's one of these things where I think it's really really cool and i have no idea what i would do with it right yeah if you were still in like uni it'd be fun to
dank ass fucking webcam scenes oh yeah that's a good point because when you do um zoom calls
at uni they generally don't give you screen share abilities,
because that obviously went badly when they did.
But if you have your OBS sending to it anyway,
they can't stop you, unless they disable your webcam.
You can just start playing videos through OBS.
You can't stop me.
There was a episode
of Lunduk's podcast
where I think it was
Chris Titus
no it wasn't Chris Titus it was obviously
Lunduk, Matt
Linux Gamer and
Wendell
and Wendell
had no interest in being there I don't know
why he was actually on the episode.
The entire time he was playing Doom,
they were just chatting.
I don't think he had his microphone on.
He was just sitting there playing Doom the entire time.
So you could do that in a uni class.
The lecturer's just talking, you're streaming Doom over.
And actually, that would look really good, because the problem that screen sharing has is for
whatever reason it compresses it to hell but it doesn't do that with webcams yeah true so i think
that actually would be a much better way to do actually that's a that is a use right there if i
need to screen share and i occasionally do need to do that when i'm talking to someone on discord that would be a way better way to do it good yeah i like that thanks for that
all right that's definitely a video idea happening right there i've only watched like i watched like
one or two podcasts that lunduk did like early on and i immediately realized that this wasn't
really something of interest to me because they're literally just like
talking about like this super old like tech
shit that I don't really fucking care about
hey do you want to talk about uh Windows
95? no
no I don't
what about like yeah
what is it like Lunduk
like talking about these like all these like super old
like what like
30-40 year old like old asshole devices cool I don't fucking care like, talking about these, like, all these, like, super old, like, what, like, 30, 40-year-old,
like, old asshole devices. Cool. I don't fucking care. Yeah, like, not to be mean to Lunduk, but I
don't, I don't like his videos for the most part. There's a couple here and there where I'm like,
that's, that's interesting, but he's made a, like, he also likes to say things which are complete he said a
couple things which are complete bullshit like the um mac os is not uh bsd which is objectively wrong
because it it is you can't argue that point it is a fork of bsd
is it a fork of bsd uh yeah the dar kernel, which is what it uses, is a BSD fork.
And he tried to make the argument that it's not, which is not true at all.
Like, you can literally trace back to where it forked from BSD.
And it still has BSD code in it.
I guess that was just one of those instances
where he thought he knew more than he did, I guess.
Yeah.
Some people will say that macOS is a fork of Linux,
and that's not obviously correct.
I think because a lot of people don't understand
the distinction between Linux and Unix,
and that's where that confusion comes from.
But it definitely is BSD.
You can't argue that. It's not a good comes from but it definitely is BSD that's not you can't argue that
it's not a good BSD
but it is BSD
oh that was what I was gonna
I was gonna rant about okay
so I can't
go into like a lot of detail but because it's
technically work related right the
first bug I had to
fix at that place only
existed because all
of them use fucking MacBooks.
Uh-huh.
And the problem is, and I didn't even know
this, apparently
Macs don't care
about case sensitivity on file paths.
No, they don't.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
So, I pulled this code down right so you know i'm like
following the steps to get a local version i go to build it and to get a bunch of errors saying i
can't oh pass and i was like weird okay it was like it was it was like webpack though so i thought
maybe it was just weird webpack errors but then i go back and look at the errors and it's like can't resolve this
path weird okay i go look at it i'm like no this this file is here it was this is weird what the
fuck and then i have in the final notice wait a minute the casing's wrong what i was so confused
and i messaged one of the senior devs and he was like oh yeah this was a problem someone else had
like back in august
or something i guess someone tried to do some like linux and they were like yeah mac doesn't
care about file sensitive and i was like you fucking what excuse me like he was like yeah
won't you uh i guess you have to fix that you know wait the first thing he said was um i don't
know how hard that is to fix and i was like well it's just it's just fixing the
casing on the file paths only what the fuck and he was like i don't know if if it's gonna be too
hard i don't know if we could support linux as a development buyer and i said the fuck you can't
like i can script to fix it like what you could do is you could leave it broken on their side
change the file names when you pull it down
and then change them back when you push it up i i thought about that well the thing i thought about
doing was if uh if technically if i never have to touch those files to actually affect something i
don't ever have to so i technically could change them locally and just never actually post them up to the reboot. Yeah. But apparently somebody,
one of them fixed anyway for build automation.
And I was like,
hello, I am your angel.
I have blessed you.
Here's a gift.
I'm guessing they don't support Windows
as a development environment then.
That's what I thought.
But I guess none of them do dev work on Windows.
All the devs use Macs.
Oh, okay, so they
the problem does exist there, but no one's
been through that problem.
Aha.
And it wasn't that hard
to fix. It was like
paths that weren't, but
it was the fact that that was a problem
in the first place. That's so dumb.
I was like, what the fuck what
surely surely like
how do you not realize the case since firstly why does mac os not care about case sensitivity
but secondly how do you not realize that that's a problem i don't know dude like i i must be like i have to have been the first dev
or pseudo dev that anyway that asked for something that wasn't a macbook
because when they hired me they said okay what do you want do you want those or do you want a
macbook and i was like well give me the one that has Windows because I'm going to and put Linux on.
Okay.
And then I did, and apparently, like, no one's
ever done that.
I'm literally the only fucking dev running a Linux environment
from what I can tell.
Yeah, there's a lot of people
who just adore MacBooks
in the programming industry.
I don't understand.
I don't know.
Brian seems to like his MacBook, so...
Jenk's not Lunduk.
Lunduk cares about his 30 old Apple devices.
Yeah, I don't get it.
I know a couple of people who use MacBooks,
and they're always like, here's this...
Because my uni, it supports Windows as a primary operating system,
and then it sort of supports macOS,
and occasionally you'll get problems.
There's a course we had to do some.NET development, for example.
I just was like, fuck it, I'm just going to do it on Windows
because I don't want to go through this hassle.
And the macOS guys were trying to do stuff with mono and it's just like
why do we even support mac os
i mean i guess it depends on how long ago that was because i know it was dot net not dot net core
okay okay never mind that answers answers my question. Yeah.
Core is great.
You can hate Microsoft technologies,
but Core is great because it means you don't have to be on Windows to do it.
Yep.
It does have some issues.
It has the Microsoft-y nonsense syntax
for doing web development.
I think it uses razor pages or something to gross.
You don't want to know what a razor page is. I'm going to show people..net razor.
It's like a weird markup syntax. Here we go.
And is that in the right chat? yes I am, cool
that should be link
so
yes
it likes to have lots of
at symbols to do things
razor
it's a weird
syntax
ugh like you can get used to it, it's fine I guess It's a weird syntax.
Ugh.
Like, you can get used to it.
It's fine, I guess, but it's just... It's just weird.
I mean, yeah, that's the same thing you could say
for using fucking dollar signs for stuff in PHP.
You can get used to it.
Oh, no, PHP is...
It's not dangerous, they're going to hate you.
Yeah, PHP is...
I've done a bit of PHP
and I didn't like it.
I don't hate
PHP, like, for no
reason, like people randomly do
now for some reason. It's unsecure.
That's my favorite one.
Oh my god. Is it ever.
And it also has the same problems that grown to despise that any dynamic language has oh i didn't so there was there was a problem i
helped somebody in my discord server fix and this problem the thing that caused it, was the embodiment of fucking hate using
dynamic languages now.
So they had a friend
that had this web app that was
a paint tool, and
one of the paint tools was the fill.
And it was like a
grid-based little board you just
fill in the pixels.
Randomly, the fill tool would just
stop doing a fill at for certain times
and it was like i even looked at their code and i was like i don't see anything wrong with this
this looks right so finally i was like well let me step through with the debugger and the way the
fill tool works is it just recursively called the same function either increase or decrement the x value. I noticed finally that
for some reason that I cannot explain,
sometimes whenever it was
passing in the next x value,
it was
suddenly converting
it to a string for no fucking reason.
So instead of doing like 1
plus 1 is 2, it was doing
1 plus the string 1.
Oops, there's a string. I've got to convert this to a string now, and it was concatenating them together, and it was doing one plus the string one oops there's a string i gotta convert this to
a string now and it was concatenating them together and it was trying to do one one
that's why it was failing i was like what what why is it why is it a string there is no string
conversion here what i don't like there's a reason why TypeScript is popular.
Yes.
Like, typing is nice.
I tolerate the way that Python does its typing.
I don't like it.
Mm-hmm.
I only tolerate it because the standard libraries in Python are an absolute godsend.
Mm-hmm.
Yes, they are. Because, for example my the way i do my um my video chapters i just have a
cadent live script that pauses the stupid nonsense it has an xml library built into it has a json
library built into it i i think it's like 10 lines it does everything i need it to do i could
write it less but i'm not a python developer i don't care um i didn't have to install some
third-party libraries it's just base base libraries, and it's great.
And I can accept the typing.
Just because of how nice that is.
My cats are going,
Pay attention to me.
But also, it does nice things with the XML.
It's not like you have to do some, like, weird function calls to do stuff.
When you convert, like, I think there's a function called, like, get root.
And what it does is basically just converts the XML document into, like, a tree.
Not a tree, a dictionary.
And you can just, like, iterate over it.
And it just works fine.
Oh.
I'm butting in. That thing is still massive. Do you want to talk? oh her butthead
what
that thing is still massive
do you want to talk
she's not even that big compared to the other one
that one's bigger
my cat is a little thing like this
you want to purr you going to give ASMR
no
scratch your head
not loud enough you You could have purred louder.
When I get my own place, I'll probably get another cat.
Another cat? Oh, yeah. My cat
is at my parents' house now.
Oh, right. Okay.
Also, she's like 16
years old.
So, yeah. I'm surprised she's still going to be honest the uh the oldest cat i ever had lived 17 wow yeah it uh it uh i think actually it passed
away one of the semesters while I was at college.
My mom was like,
I didn't want to tell you. I was like, Mom, the cat's
17 years old. I knew
why it was away one of the times you
called me and be like,
he's gone. I'd be like, okay.
I was expecting that.
Yeah, yeah.
Honestly, it's impressive to have a cat
that lasts that long.
Yeah, it is.
Let's see.
What else do we have on the list?
Actually, one thing that's on here is a really long one that you wrote.
How things I started on for myself have helped a lot of my new job.
Oh, yeah.
So a lot of that's basically got to do with the habit of like just taking something that you find that you were doing repeatedly and just writing a little small script to automate it.
A good example of this is so again, without having to go into details, one of the primary responsibilities of my job is to handle these little tasks that the engineering team were having to like
shift gears mentally to do they usually involve touching the database um and when they would
when i was being shown what to do uh i was asking questions you know you know when they usually have
to frequently pull the same kind of data to do some other part. I was like, wait, so you do this
this way every time?
It was usually opening it up
like the Mongo connection.
What's that thing called? Robo 3T?
A little Mongo
GUI interface thing.
I was like, okay,
we're not fucking doing that way every time.
Once I got access
to be able to get to the actual database, we're not fucking doing that every time. Once I got access to
be able to get to the actual database,
I wanted to be able
to pass
a script into the Mongo
shell to pull the data.
But I ran into
an issue, which was
you can pass a script into the
Mongo shell, but what if the script itself wants arguments
you can't pass arguments in for the script that goes into the mongo shell right but there's a
flag there's eval flag you can use that will just evaluate this random string of java script and
make it available during the connection right so what i did was i wrote a
script a just a little simple shell script that's basically a wrapper around that that takes the
arguments and then actually uses the eval flag to make them available in the java file so now i have
this one little file that if i just pass it in an argument boom i get data i don't have to sit
there pissed with a fucking gui interface
to pull it open well yeah if you're doing the same thing every time yeah that that's dumb but
yeah no that's a way better approach to do it automate everything so that's sort of what you're
getting at there just going through this process of automating video creation has sort of got you
into this mindset where if you can automate it you should automate it
automate it and also the whole thing of just having a bunch of small little things that do one thing yeah complete a bigger process yes the the whole unix philosophy actually has been very
helpful so far that makes sense yeah i can see that um i i. My thing is I'm too lazy to not be lazy with the automation.
No, that's too lazy.
No, you can't.
Because I've said it a couple of times,
the way I'm producing my videos,
there is stuff I can automate.
I just haven't.
I really should though.
Really, really should.
Did you ever go look in
my scripts repo and see if you could just
like go and click on it
oh for the video creation
yeah what are you editing
oh video editing yeah yeah
I think I might have had a brief look
I could do that actually
that might be easier than modifying the
actual
yeah now that I think about it, modifying modifying the actual... Yeah, now I think about modifying the project
files too much effort. I should just
concatenate the outro
video onto the end of it
with FFmpeg. That might be easier.
That's part of what my finalized video
script does.
I don't know if I ever told you exactly what
it does, but my finalized
video script does
three things. It overlays that little subscription ding
animation it adds a fade in and a fade out at the start and end of the actual recording yeah
and then after that it concatenates the outro at the end of that. So it looks like it fades out into the outro. Okay. That's what the finalized script does.
That actually would be useful for me, yeah.
That's stuff I do manually
anyway, and Kdenlive doesn't actually have a way to do
scripting, which is annoying.
Does it? Wait, does it not?
No, there's no scripting interface for Kdenlive.
The only part that was
confusing when you looked at it is the fucking complex filter interface for Kdenlive. The only part that would probably be confusing
when you looked at it is the fucking complex
filter syntax
for FFmpeg. You'd probably be like,
what the fuck does any of this shit mean?
Which, by the way, if you want to learn that,
I made a video about how...
Too bad you cut out when you were saying that.
I made a video about doing complex filters in FFmpeg.
Go fucking watch it.
Yeah, do that.
I think I've watched a bit of that video.
But that script itself, I think, just as it is, would be useful for me.
When I first made that script, I linked
a streamer
on Mint's Discord server. I linked it
in their programming, and they're like,
what the fuck am I staring at?
Yeah, FFMpeg
is a bit of a
beast if you don't know
what you're doing with it
it's like
conceptually it's actually very easy to understand
yeah but when you want to do complex
things it's when I guess
you get down in the weeds well yeah regex
also is very conceptually
easy and then have you seen a regex to just like
validate a date
don't say regex to me
i hate regex actually my favorite one is for emails because technically
like no websites let you do this now but technically a valid email can have as many
at signs as you want
but the problem is you won't be able to ever use that email to actually sign up for anything,
because most services limit you to one at sign,
but in the spec, there's no limitation on that.
That's funny.
So you can have something like Donald at Fury at something at something at...
At your mom.com.
Yeah, pretty much.
There's nothing stopping you doing it.
And it's a problem with
the email spec that has sort of been eliminated if you want to use it to sign up for anything but
it's technically allowed same with um i think special characters are also allowed and as well
this is why doing a regex for an email is basically impossible.
Regex is one of those things that I'll start to do it,
and I think I understand exactly how to do it,
and then I go to use it, and it's like,
this doesn't fucking work at all like I thought it did.
Shit.
I use them fairly frequently, mainly for filtering out RSS feeds.
Mm. I use them fairly frequently, mainly for filtering out RSS feeds. But anything complex, this is just...
Because filtering out an RSS feed, it's like,
does it have this sequence of characters?
If yes, keep it.
If no, get rid of it.
For one example I have is for r slash Un unix porn basically everything on that subreddit
is useless unless it's tagged with oc because most of it's like hey look at my desktop look
at my desktop look at my desktop they look the fucking same but oc it's gonna be like hey look
at my pretty program i made oh you should We should talk about the idea I gave you
in the voice chat yesterday about
using a bunch of the Unix porn
images and making, like, a collage and making,
like, a Unix porn-only thing.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot that.
Yeah, that's, um...
That's an idea.
Oh, lord. Wait, before someone else steals the idea. Oh, Lord.
Wait, before someone else steals the idea.
Oh, it's fine.
This won't go up until Christmas, basically.
Just combine all the images with, like, OpenGL
and just overlay some, like, adult film, like, background music.
Yeah, some 80s porn music will work to be honest i i feel like someone would pay for it that's the dumbest part
because it would what would happen is it would show up on something like Unix porn and then
maybe this is a
really good idea.
That's mad as a genius.
If I don't do this
someone is going to do it at some point.
Hmm.
Because I know there actually are some people
who are just using only fans to do some
not porn at this point even though that's the purpose originally that was the purpose of the
website it was supposed to be just like a regular supporter website like patreon
and then it got it got the rap that it has now like there's one guy
in australia called alex williamson, um, he does sports tipping.
Um,
mainly like horse racing and like,
and football.
But if you want to get some,
uh,
some,
I wanted to know some advice about betting on sports.
Go,
go follow Alex Williamson's OnlyFans,
I guess. And he uploaded like a, an ad for it on his Twitter. and he
uploaded like a
an ad for it
on his twitter
and apparently
he's got like a
pretty decent
accuracy rate
like 70 or 80
percent
that's
hilarious
my rates
are so good
you'll nut
oh
god what does the internet become?
Mokka honey, you cannot bite the knobs on the mixer, please stop.
Don't bite my knobs.
You walked right into that one.
Don't bite it.
That comes later.
Let's see.
Actually, I...
Did I ever ask you what kind of music you listen to?
Don't think so.
I listen to a wide variety of music.
So, I grew up listening to a lot of, like, ACDC and a lot of, like, 70s and 80s rock, just because that's what my parents listened to.
I listen to a lot of, like, J-pop and J-rock because, you know, I'm a massive fucking weeb.
Makes sense.
rock because you know i'm a massive fucking weeb um makes sense i actually recently got into uh japanese hip-hop which is japanese hip yeah japanese hip-hop which is a weird one to get
into but you know it's it's fun um i'll actually here's a band i recommend there's a queensland band called the chats
and the chats is basically a fucking joke band so they're inspired by like early acdc
but their lyrics are just the dumbest things ever um so they've got one called uh pub feed
which is basically about how they want to go to the pub and buy a schnitzel
and a rump steak but it sounds like a 70s rock track um i think their biggest song is called
smoko so smoko is basically an australian slang for like a lunch break an entire song is is literally i think the chorus goes uh don't talk to me i'm on smoko
and it's just screaming that into the mic
yeah there's a there's a certain thing about australian music where it being terrible is
sort of part of the appeal like there's a lot of really shitty Australian artists,
but they're intentionally bad.
Like, they're really talented,
but they'll just make the most garbage music they can imagine.
And I love that.
Like, I'm not really very fussy about the sort of music I listen to.
I think the only thing I'm not a big fan of
is probably most country music,
but there are some exceptions.
Like, I don't know, maybe someone's going to bully me for this,
but I do like some of Miley Cyrus' new stuff.
I don't even know.
I know who that is, but I've looked like zero country in a long time.
I guess part of the reason I like a little bit of country is because
my mom's into country and i've obviously heard a bit of it when you're growing up and that's the
sort of music you're listening to you even if you don't like it a ton there's still some sort of
appeal to it what about yourself uh so right now i tend to mostly just listen to um either some combination of
uh maybe specifically like synth wave and retro wave uh either that or on the rock side it'd be
more like power metal or orchestral metal oh i forgot about that actually yeah i'm also a big
metal fan yeah like a like on the power metal side,
it'd be like Sabaton, Power Quest.
I think those two, like what I listen to the most.
I listen to some rap.
There's like very specific rap artists I like,
which is basically confined to Eminem, Tech N9ne.
And so there's a particular style of rap that I have
a
special place in my heart for
and it has something
that's
school which is horror core
rap. This would be like
Insane Clown Posse,
Cottonmouth Kings, this type of music.
And the reason why is
there was a period in time in school
where I got bullied
all the fucking time. There were a few
people there that I wanted to hurt
them. I really did.
I found
that music because a friend of mine let me
borrow an ICP
CD.
I listened to it and just like,
just like the sheer like outrageousness of like the songs and like how
violent the topics were.
I thought they were hilarious.
And they gave me like this outlet.
Yeah.
That made me like not actually like flip and try to fucking murder somebody.
So that's why I have like
the special place in my heart for that type of music
but other than that
that's basically been the stuff I've listened to for a long time
I've listened to like any
EDM for a long time
there was like a weird
period of time where I listened to like
Screamo shit
like
fuck Cradle of Filth i think is that
band yeah i listened to back in like it was like right after i got out of high school i listened
to cradle of filth a lot i don't know why because my ears hate me yeah my sister got really into death metal for a while and yeah i there's some that i enjoy but i'm just like the part where
they're singing is better can they just do that the entire song yeah oh so this wouldn't this
wouldn't necessarily be i was i listened to like music like songs have you listened to very high level people doing uh beatboxing or loop station stuff
no i haven't but i i can imagine it sounds amazing if you get bored one day there's a
it's called swiss beatbox they're like the main channel thing that does like tournaments and stuff like
a champ,
like the competitions that go listen to just some of those people do their,
their routines and loop station routines.
Holy God,
you,
they,
they don't need instruments.
They literally just use just literally whatever sounds they can make out of
their mouth or whatever effects and stuff on
loop stations and they make full edm songs oh geez yeah it's crazy yeah i'll have to check that out
for sure um actually on that note i guess we can start wrapping up the podcast it's been
just hit two and a half hours right now okay yeah. Yeah, so what did you say the channel was called?
I'll just bring it up on the screen.
Swiss Beatbox.
Swiss Beatbox.
3.8 million subs.
No, do not play the song.
Definitely don't do that.
Yeah, here we go.
This, yeah, I'll have to check this out.
I've listened to a little bit of beatboxing,
but nothing where it's like the person would be good enough
to go into a competition for it.
Right, yeah.
But this does sound pretty cool.
Yeah, I'll check that out. I guess... You will not be disappointed. This does sound pretty cool. Yeah.
I'll check that out.
I guess... I guess because we mentioned him earlier.
Noxtaku.
Go watch Noxtaku.
Wait, shit.
Can I show this on the screen without there being problems?
It depends on what thumbnail it is.
I'll just scroll a bit.
Here we go. I love just, I'll scroll a bit.
Here we go.
I love the ones where he's like,
I show these regular people outrageous like hentai videos.
Here we go.
So I scrolled back two months. Apparently Nux did a music video.
Bakugou actually dies LMAO.
That's the title title I love that
um
yeah
I
what am I looking at here
I haven't
gone back and looked at some of
like occasionally Nux's videos will just show up
on my
suggested gone back and looked at some of like occasionally Nux's videos would just show up on my suggested
but there's just some
there's just some videos in here
where I'm just like what is happening
yeah
check out NuxTaco I guess
and check out SwissBeatbox
as for you,
where can people find you?
You can find me on
the YouTubes, and I think...
The entire thing
cut out. As soon as
you said YouTube, it's all
stopped.
For f***'s sake.
My name,
the name that you'll see on the fucking podcast, just look that up
on YouTube. That's my YouTube channel name.
Yes, please do that.
If you want to learn about Go or
video editing on
Go, do the thing.
Yes.
I'll leave links down below anyway.
Was that last thing you said?
you didn't cut out, I was just talking there's a twitter too, but I barely use it
yeah, yeah, okay, cool
there will be a link down below anyway
cool, as for me
if you would like to go
watch, actually
how do I even do the outro on this?
I don't even remember
I did one two days ago.

If you're listening to the audio version,
there is a video version available on Library and YouTube and Odyssey
and all those things.
The video version?
Yeah.
If you're watching the video version, the audio version is available anywhere.
You can find it on your podcast, Google Podcasts, iTunes.
You know we can find podcasts.
Just search for Tech of a T.
I will be the first result.
I am beating the blog called Tech of a T,
and I hope they always keep falling down the rankings.
Yeah, I think that's everything, basically.
Main channel, Rudy Robertson.
I do Linux videos, and they are Linux videos.
Yes.
I don't have much to say about that.
We're closing on.
I think we might be at 12K by the time this comes out,
but if we're not, I'll be very close to 12K,
and I want to hit 12K by the end of the year.
So do that.
Yeah.
Got any closing words?
Yeah.
Come on back now, I'll see you next time.
Discord would be good for you, I'd actually let you say that.
Thank you guys for watching.
