00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,359
we all know the computer Basics you want to turn your computer on you press this

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,240
button on the front you want to see what the computer's doing you look at the

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,200
monitor you want to reset the computer if it crashes you press this other

4
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:19,199
button on the front but do you know how to do all of

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:24,199
those things if you're a thousand miles away oh I know I know okay well good for

6
00:00:22,119 --> 00:00:30,200
you smarty pants here's a gold star for everyone else stay

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:36,480
tuned

8
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:42,480
tunnel bear is the easy to use VPN service that lets you use the web as

9
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:48,199
though you're in one of 20 different countries learn more and try tunnel bear

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,640
for free at the link in the video

11
00:00:48,199 --> 00:00:54,640
description so there are a huge number of reasons that you might want to be

12
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:59,239
able to access or control your computer from far away it ranges from totally

13
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,640
mainstream stuff like needing to grab a file off your your desktop for the

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:07,880
homework assignment you were planning to print at school before handing it in

15
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:12,159
which yeah whatever I think you still understood my point to Enthusiast stuff

16
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,200
like realizing you want to share all those birthday pictures you took of

17
00:01:14,119 --> 00:01:21,920
little Joseph while you're visiting an Josephine and your FTP is down to it

18
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:25,759
administrator stuff like realizing that someone put Windows on one of your

19
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,880
servers and you need to throttle everyone else in the building's internet

20
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:33,560
connection so not a moment is wasted while you download your faor Linux drro

21
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:39,240
mounted as virtual media install it and restore order to the universe so let's

22
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:43,560
start with more basic Solutions and work our way up to the cooler but regrettably

23
00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:47,880
more expensive ones the first one shouldn't cost a dime because if you

24
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:53,200
already bought a decent PC in the last 10 years there's a very good chance that

25
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:56,560
it has a feature called wake on land so

26
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,520
the way wake on land works is as long as

27
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:04,200
the computer is plugged into wall power even if it's in a shut down state it

28
00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:09,000
actually consumes a little bit of electricity Illuminating power indicator

29
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:13,520
LEDs on your motherboard or power supply and even enabling functionality like

30
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:19,599
charging plugged in phones or tablets over special USB ports and you guessed

31
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:24,000
it keeping your network card Juiced up enough that it can wait for what's

32
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:29,000
called a magic packet and bring the whole computer to life wake on land can

33
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:34,400
be configured a handful of ways you can set it up in the ufi or the BIOS of your

34
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,879
motherboard or you can actually do it from within the network card

35
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:43,440
configuration panel in most modern operating systems you can even specify

36
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:48,680
if you want a magic packet to only work in sleep versus when the machine is

37
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:53,319
fully powered down Wake On L has some limitations though it requires either a

38
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:58,920
separate machine that you can remote into using something like team viewer to

39
00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:01,959
use a utility to send a magic packet or

40
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:04,440
a VPN or some firewall and routing rules

41
00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:10,080
to be configured for it to work from outside of the local network on top of

42
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:14,959
that wake on land is not capable of shutting down the computer that needs to

43
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,640
be done through your operating system so wake on land does nothing to help you if

44
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:24,440
the system hangs and is stuck in an unresponsive state or fails to boot for

45
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:29,120
one reason or another which leads us then into some janky solutions to this

46
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:34,920
problem covering a bit of a range in terms of difficulty and expense first up

47
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:38,840
is a solution I actually really like this is a Bellin weimo you may remember

48
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,200
it from the Channel Super Fun prank where burkel and I made the LMG staff

49
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:48,680
believe they had triggered the building alarm you're going to want to check that out here this one is relatively cheap

50
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,599
and I already had it lying around but any smart home power socket that can be

51
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:57,560
remotely switched on and off with an app will work for this so these things are

52
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:02,519
intended for something like a bedside lamp but by configuring the comp

53
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:06,319
computer to turn the machine on after AC power loss and every non-lt that I've

54
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:11,799
encountered has this option buried somewhere within the BIOS you can do a

55
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:16,560
hard shutdown using the weimo by just cutting power to it and then turn it

56
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:20,199
back on if for whatever reason it fails to boot and the Machine should try to

57
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:26,479
boot again well what if I don't want to spend $50 on a clever wall socket good

58
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,759
question the way a PC powers on and off

59
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:33,080
is simply by bridging two contacts on the motherboard power switch allowing

60
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:38,759
electricity to flow so it's a short press to power on and to Safe power off

61
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:43,680
and a long press for about 5 seconds for a hard forced shutdown so get creative

62
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,320
here's a great thread on the Raspberry Pi forums that covers some of the ways

63
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:53,280
folks have used arduinos and raspberry pies to wire up the power on andof

64
00:04:51,039 --> 00:04:57,600
switches for their remote PCS and actually Luke even told me once about a

65
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:02,680
solution that he created for someone who didn't want to spend a dime or an any

66
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:07,880
time but who happened to have a spare laptop with an external 5 and 1/4 in

67
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:12,320
optical drive where he put the optical drive next to the server's power switch

68
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:17,560
so he could remote into the laptop and eject the dis tray causing it to bump

69
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,520
the power switch not an ideal solution but definitely creative and the sky is

70
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:25,479
pretty much the limit here but none of that stuff allows for the computer to be

71
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:31,120
fully managed in the same way that you could if you were sitting in front of it

72
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:33,600
and that is where IPM comes in this

73
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:38,440
super micro motherboard actually a super sexy soon to be relased microatx model

74
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:43,039
with support for up to 22 core processors four sticks of quad Channel

75
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:48,600
memory and dual onboard 10 GB network cards the x10

76
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:52,160
srmf comes with a dedicated additional

77
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,639
Network Port that is just for ipmi or

78
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,759
intelligent platform management interface you assign it a static IP

79
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:03,720
within the BIOS then you can use any computer on the same network to navigate

80
00:06:00,919 --> 00:06:07,960
to that IP log in and assuming you've got your Java up toate and your security

81
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,639
settings all configured you'll be looking at a whole wealth of freaking

82
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:16,960
cool tools and functionalities you can see the system

83
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:20,680
Hardware you can monitor server Health to see if your CPU is running cool

84
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:24,520
enough and if it's not you can check if your fans are still spinning or you can

85
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:29,880
set up a different fan curve you can do event logs you can mount virtual discs

86
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:31,960
and drives you can of course power on or

87
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:36,960
off the computer in any way you please and you can even do Advanced things like

88
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:41,560
updating the BIOS or the IPI firmware and adjusting bio settings using the

89
00:06:39,039 --> 00:06:46,880
real-time view of the VGA output that's on the back of the board the problem is

90
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:50,880
that sick features like a real-time view of exactly what the machine is

91
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:56,120
outputting often require special Hardware aside from just that Network

92
00:06:53,599 --> 00:07:00,960
Port to be built into the motherboard and while motherboards with add-on ipmi

93
00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:10,400
modules ASUS has a number of them available do exist they mostly come with

94
00:07:06,039 --> 00:07:12,280
ipmi or without it there are kvms that

95
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,520
are remotely manageable but they are much more expensive than investing in

96
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:22,360
ipmi capable Hardware in the first place and they won't support everything that

97
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,360
an ipmi board can do now to be clear

98
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,520
ipmi is not perfect and poses some

99
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:32,599
serious security risks I mean remember when someone has physical access to your

100
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,800
machine it's not your machine anymore

101
00:07:32,599 --> 00:07:39,680
but it's the king when it comes to Remote Management and it saved me quite

102
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:45,159
a few late night trips to the office crunchy roll is the site created by
