[794.18 --> 800.68] And who doesn't like a session about automating beer brewing with Linux and open source technologies,
[800.82 --> 800.92] huh?
[801.50 --> 806.72] So the nice thing was, you know, the Raleigh downtown is a pretty small little place if
[806.72 --> 807.34] you've never been.
[807.96 --> 813.48] And Red Hat Tower, as we call it, The Tower, is only two blocks from the convention center,
[814.02 --> 815.28] a short five minute walk.
[815.34 --> 820.34] So I was able to meet up with these listeners, Reed and John, and take them to lunch at The
[820.34 --> 823.44] Tower today, which as we record is Wednesday.
[824.18 --> 824.66] Oh, good.
[824.68 --> 826.58] Did you get more sauce while you were there?
[827.30 --> 830.24] Alex likes to pick up a little extra sauce while he's at the Red Hat Tower.
[830.96 --> 836.16] So I think what Chris is referring to there is Boar's Head, you know, the sandwich company.
[836.28 --> 838.26] You think, you know what I'm referring to.
[838.36 --> 844.50] Make this absolutely delicious gourmet, spicy mayonnaise, chipotle mayonnaise style thing.
[844.92 --> 845.52] No, it's great.
[845.70 --> 848.96] And I cannot get enough of it on turkey and provolone sandwiches when I'm at home during
[848.96 --> 849.32] the day.
[849.92 --> 853.74] So what I used to do at The Tower before COVID was anytime I went in The Tower, I used to go
[853.74 --> 858.26] in and buy a bottle of this sauce off the vendor for, I don't know, like 10 bucks.
[858.72 --> 865.74] Like, to put it in context, a tiny little tub of this stuff from the supermarket is five bucks.
[866.10 --> 871.62] But a commercial catering size bottle of this sauce he gave me for 10 bucks a time.
[872.02 --> 876.06] So I used to just slather this stuff on, whereas now I have to treat it like gold dust because
[876.06 --> 878.00] we've got different vendors now after COVID.
[879.44 --> 880.20] That's a bummer.
[880.20 --> 880.52] Okay.
[880.66 --> 880.98] All right.
[881.38 --> 882.32] So lunch at The Tower.
[882.42 --> 883.26] That's awfully nice.
[883.74 --> 884.54] That sounds great.
[884.64 --> 885.12] Yeah, we're nice.
[885.36 --> 887.40] We also met up with Jay from LearnNixTV.
[887.92 --> 889.94] Not going to mess up the creative process.
[890.90 --> 893.00] I'm here with Jay from LearnNixTV.
[893.24 --> 893.68] Hello, Jay.
[893.72 --> 894.16] How are you?
[894.34 --> 894.72] Doing well.
[894.76 --> 895.16] How are you?
[895.62 --> 895.84] Yeah.
[895.86 --> 902.26] I went to your talk yesterday on RetroPie and how you're saving retro gaming from Oblivion.
[903.08 --> 903.32] Yeah.
[903.46 --> 909.50] So basically my setup is such that sync thing syncs all of my RetroPies together.
[909.50 --> 914.42] So if I'm on my handheld RetroPie or the one on the TV, I could play a game, save the game,
[914.76 --> 917.00] then go to the couch and it's the same save file.
[917.12 --> 918.88] The ROMs and everything all sync to each other.
[919.10 --> 922.60] So it's just like this thing where my save files just follow me around.
[922.70 --> 926.68] It's just one of the amazing things that you could do with technology that you might not
[926.68 --> 928.10] think about right off the top of your head.
[928.10 --> 930.78] But if you put your mind to it, a little bit of creativity, you'd be surprised what you
[930.78 --> 931.50] could come up with.
[932.12 --> 934.26] Turns out if you try hard enough, you can, huh?
[934.50 --> 934.68] Yeah.
[934.74 --> 939.38] You're one of the few people on planet Earth that's got their hands on the CM4 module, right?
[939.60 --> 940.62] How's that working out for you?
[940.62 --> 941.40] What are you using that for?
[942.18 --> 943.94] So actually I have a Turing Pi.
[944.10 --> 945.56] So I have four of those in there.
[945.66 --> 948.02] And then I have one in the handheld RetroPie.
[948.18 --> 950.62] So it's actually working out really well.
[950.74 --> 954.60] And the one that I have in the RetroPie, if it wasn't for Jeff Geerling, I wouldn't have
[954.60 --> 957.88] it because he actually messaged me on Twitter like, hey, they have inventory
[957.88 --> 958.44] over here.
[958.60 --> 960.42] So if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have it.
[960.44 --> 962.66] I actually got the first ones before they got hard to find.
[962.72 --> 964.96] And then later on, like right now, what are they going for?
[965.04 --> 966.14] Like some crazy amount of money?
[967.20 --> 972.80] I dread to think I haven't looked, but it's more than double, I think, MSRP.
[973.46 --> 974.18] It's ridiculous.
[974.42 --> 978.14] Like, especially the people that just want to have fun, set up something in their home
[978.14 --> 978.40] lab.
[978.48 --> 982.40] They have to navigate scalpers and everything just to work on the fun projects that they
[982.40 --> 982.96] want to work on.
[982.96 --> 983.76] I think that's terrible.
[983.76 --> 985.34] Like, we just want to have fun with our technology.
[985.34 --> 987.32] So how are you finding all things open?
[987.40 --> 988.18] Is this your first one?
[989.14 --> 989.96] Very first one.
[990.10 --> 991.56] So it is very fun.
[991.76 --> 993.36] We have a lot of cool people here.
[994.00 --> 995.28] System 76 is here.
[995.52 --> 998.86] Red Hat, Alma Linux, like a bunch of open source projects.
[999.02 --> 1001.18] There's GitLab, Moodle, like countless others.
[1001.30 --> 1005.22] It's just so much fun to, you know, just network with people, especially you.
[1005.30 --> 1008.24] I haven't met you in person until this time, you know, until this event too.
[1008.36 --> 1009.90] So I'm meeting really cool people.
[1009.90 --> 1011.68] And I wouldn't trade it for anything.
[1012.36 --> 1014.54] Yeah, there's something special about an open source conference, is there?
[1014.60 --> 1015.82] Well, thank you very much, Jay.
[1015.98 --> 1017.24] And enjoy the rest of your conference.
[1017.90 --> 1019.46] I agree with Jay.
[1020.12 --> 1021.48] Sync thing for the win.
[1021.86 --> 1022.26] Absolutely.
[1022.54 --> 1025.90] One of the MVPs of the last few years for me has been sync thing.
[1026.32 --> 1030.04] Just my background ambient file system sync.
[1030.46 --> 1031.54] I have Dropbox.
[1031.62 --> 1032.46] You know, I have Nextcloud.
[1032.54 --> 1033.60] I've tried these different things.
[1033.60 --> 1037.82] I think of that as active, persistent syncing.
[1038.16 --> 1038.96] You see it.
[1039.04 --> 1039.86] It's got a status.
[1040.10 --> 1040.90] You know it's happening.
