[0.00 --> 3.68] Well, I'm pleased to welcome back to the show, Mr. Chris Fisher. Welcome back, Chris. |
[3.92 --> 7.34] Thank you, Alex. I just got done drying everything off only a few moments ago. |
[7.64 --> 12.78] We missed you, man. So it's story time. I need to stay a while and listen. |
[13.24 --> 19.18] Yes. And first of all, thank you to Morgan for filling in. I, at the last minute, had to jump |
[19.18 --> 26.16] out when I realized that my laptop had got soaked and I didn't want to turn it on. And so I told |
[26.16 --> 31.14] Alex, you got to find somebody to fill in for me. All right. So I was setting up to go camp out in |
[31.14 --> 35.66] the woods, brief story. And I wanted to get out to the woods and get set up in time for the show. |
[35.86 --> 41.12] And so I was in a bit of a rush and I thought, cause I'm an idiot. I thought, Hey, you know, |
[41.12 --> 46.44] it'd be a great idea is I'll do some updates on this laptop. And I've got this really old 2013 |
[46.44 --> 52.20] Mac book that runs Arch Linux, by the way. And so it's, for me, it's like this thrill to boot it up |
[52.20 --> 57.16] about once every six months and see if when I do an update, if the installation explodes or not. |
[57.16 --> 61.36] Right. So I thought, well, I'm running around packing up the RV. I'll set this thing to do |
[61.36 --> 65.86] some updates just so I can, you know, have like a little thing to do for my ADD brain |
[65.86 --> 71.08] and check in on it. And so I'm packing up and I go around and I collect all of my electronics |
[71.08 --> 75.58] because I, my kids and I had been going through some stuff. And so we had, the fire tablets were |
[75.58 --> 80.38] down off the wall that we use to control home assistant, our front end and some game controllers |
[80.38 --> 84.02] were out and we're going down the road and we want to get there quick. So I just took this basket |
[84.02 --> 88.76] and like a good little boy, I picked up everything and put it in my basket. Now, of course, I don't |
[88.76 --> 94.70] want that basket to spill. So I, I set it in the back in the bathroom and finished up my laptop and |
[94.70 --> 100.62] closed the lid and went about packing up the rest of the RV. I'm driving down the road for probably |
[100.62 --> 106.74] 20, 25 minutes. And I realized I should probably get gas because I'm going to be off grid for a while. |
[106.74 --> 110.02] And if for some reason we don't get good solar, I'm going to need to be able to run my |
[110.02 --> 115.62] generator. So I, I, I pull up to a gas station and I start to pull in, which is a downhill kind |
[115.62 --> 120.44] of turn in. And as I pull into the gas station and begin to decline down into the parking lot, |
[120.56 --> 126.48] I hear like, like a wave sound behind me. Like, I'm like, is there a noise maker on? And I, |
[126.56 --> 131.76] I turn around and look over my shoulder, Alex, and I see this wave of water coming down the middle |
[131.76 --> 137.88] of the hallway of my RV. It sloshes down into the, into the, into the step. Well, it's all over the |
[137.88 --> 141.22] place. It's coming down into my feet while I'm driving. It was everywhere. |
[141.68 --> 147.94] How tight did your asshole pucker when you saw that Alex in like one motion, I like grabbed the |
[147.94 --> 152.62] radio and I radio to my wife. Cause she's chasing me in the car behind there. You got to get in here |
[152.62 --> 159.96] quick. We got an emergency. I throw the radio down. I parked the RV stand up and I began just walking |
[159.96 --> 166.22] straight to the back. And as I approach the back of the RV, I hear a sound. I immediately recognize |
[166.22 --> 175.78] it's my water pump and it's pumping and it's pumping and it's pumping. It shouldn't be on, |
[175.84 --> 182.52] but in our rush to leave, I had left it on and didn't notice. And so I flip it off as I opened |
[182.52 --> 188.06] the door and I look right at the sink or where I just instinctively knew the problem was going to be |
[188.06 --> 193.84] somehow I knew. And I could immediately see the entire chain of events. I had left that big old |
[193.84 --> 200.58] heavy MacBook on the counter. And when I went down the road, it slid down the counter, slid just right |
[200.58 --> 208.86] and fell into the sink. And as it fell, it turned the faucet on, which is where my basket full of |
[208.86 --> 215.30] electronics was sitting. Oh no. That be turned that, that Alex, it turned into a bathtub. Alex, it was, |
[215.40 --> 220.62] it was so bad, Alex. It soaked everything. And then proceeded to spill out from there into the rest |
[220.62 --> 227.48] of the RV at about, about, about 17, 17, 15, 20 gallons ish. It's hard to say. Yeah. Got the |
[227.48 --> 233.24] laptop, got all the fire tablets, got the game controllers, got all the charging bricks, everything, |
[233.36 --> 241.16] not to mention flooded the RV. I, I, I had to act quick. And so thankfully I was able to position the |
[241.16 --> 245.56] RV in such a way that it kind of tilted it. So I could just get all the water to pour out into one |
[245.56 --> 251.44] direction. And then I just spent like two hours drying it up. And then we moved out to our spot |
[251.44 --> 256.54] in the woods and then spent another couple of hours trying to dry it all out. I lost a lot of devices. |
[256.86 --> 264.96] A lot of good devices died that day, Alex, but not that stupid old MacBook. It's still kicking, |
[265.10 --> 268.40] even though it got water in the event in the vents and all of that, it's still kicking. |
[268.40 --> 274.10] So the device that caused the problem just ran away going, tee, not today. |
[274.28 --> 278.44] It's doing great. Yep. Although it's power adapter bit the dust. So I don't know exactly |
[278.44 --> 279.80] what its long-term plan was. |
[279.90 --> 282.00] That's like cutting your nose off to spite your face, isn't it? |
[282.16 --> 286.50] That's why you should plan and plan to learn. Visit our sponsor, Cloud Guru, |
[286.64 --> 289.18] the leader of learning for the cloud, Linux, and other modern tech skills, |
[289.52 --> 293.74] hundreds of courses, and thousands of hands-on labs. Get certified, get hired, |
[293.82 --> 295.78] get learning at a cloudguru.com. |
[295.78 --> 301.82] That story just hurts me so deeply because water and electronics, you just have this |
[301.82 --> 308.52] pathological thing that they don't go, they just don't mix. I've probably missed out on |
[308.52 --> 312.30] several experiences in my life because I had a phone in my pocket. I'm like, well, |
[312.48 --> 317.14] I'm not going to go and run in the ocean or whatever it is because I've got a phone in my pocket. |
[317.54 --> 323.36] And so many devices, obvious statement time, but I really was feeling this. So many devices |
[323.36 --> 326.78] have the battery built in. And so there's just nothing I can do. |
[326.98 --> 329.40] Yeah. Damn, man. I feel your pain. |
[329.62 --> 330.24] I really do. |
[331.50 --> 335.44] It was rough. It was rough. And so now I have to selectively choose what I'm going to replace |
[335.44 --> 337.24] and what I'm just going to try to live without. |
[337.62 --> 339.04] Oh yeah. And you just missed Prime Day. |
[339.94 --> 344.12] I know. I crossed my mind because I had a couple of fire tablets in the mix. |
[344.62 --> 344.90] Gone. |
[345.54 --> 346.36] Womp womp. |
[346.36 --> 349.74] All right. So you got something to cheer me up. |
[350.12 --> 354.46] Well, I was watching YouTube the other day, as is often the case in my household. And I was |
[354.46 --> 360.60] watching a video by Techno Tim and he did an Orthalia introduction. It is a single sign on |
[360.60 --> 368.64] service that basically allows you to have one login cookie get set, which then allows you to log into |
[368.64 --> 374.62] all of the services that you select through a set of rules that you configure to say, right, if I want |
[374.62 --> 381.82] to access NextCloud, as long as I've got this token set, then I'm all good. And then you could do it for |
[381.82 --> 388.10] a wiki or any of the services that are running on your system. And the really nice thing is it's |
[388.10 --> 394.14] configured with a single line of Docker Compose configuration. So you just add a single line to |
[394.14 --> 398.34] declare that you want to use Orthalia as what's called a piece of middleware in the traffic |
