WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.000
those of you who watch WAN Show will know this already but uh I bought a

00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:12.440
warehouse the plan is to turn this place into a Badminton Center SL land gaming

00:00:09.719 --> 00:00:16.000
area but as you can see given the state of things we're not going to be doing

00:00:13.719 --> 00:00:22.039
that anytime soon but I want to play games with my friends now so I did the

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:25.800
only sensible thing and said screw it we're hosting a land party at my house

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:29.480
instead naturally I told the wife that we're doing it to prototype some gear

00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:34.559
that we want to use for the real thing which smooth things over a little bit

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:39.840
that is until I invited the entire company and their significant others and

00:00:37.559 --> 00:00:46.039
their friends working out to a total of nearly 100 people on the RSVP but before

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:50.719
we get there we have got some problems to solve how are we going to power that

00:00:48.199 --> 00:00:55.920
many PCs where are we going to put them is this wimpy air conditioning going to

00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:57.800
keep up with it all oh my gosh this is

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:02.840
where my furniture is at least they tarped it am I going to

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.400
be married by the end of all this future me probably knows the answers to all of

00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:11.000
that ubiquity was crazy enough to sponsor this entire thing after already

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:14.840
sponsoring the wh landed LTX 2023 we are talking 10 gig networking to every seat

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:20.040
with easy planning in the UniFi Design Center and blazing fast Wi-Fi 6E

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:26.040
throughout the entire house that helps right fast Wi-Fi hone it's good let's

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.040
set up a land party let's

00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:34.759
go what are you standing around cheering for let's go I'm not

00:01:31.479 --> 00:01:37.040
mov okay okay the time is now 10:20

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:42.079
which leaves us with uh it can be a little late let's say uh 6 hours before

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:46.479
the W show that should be fine you have to shoot another video too orders

00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:52.280
Captain I thought you were in charge I am in charge okay good what do we do uh

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:53.680
I don't know ask Jake God okay you two

00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.479
go into the garage and put feet on the tables you two come here clean this

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.960
up you got the plans on your phone just follow that you got to bring tables and

00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:05.039
chairs in here two more of you Kevin Brian you're on that room let's go we

00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:12.760
got more rooms I'm still not sure exactly what's going on oh oh my gosh

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.599
did you guys hit something

00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:18.440
already it's been 1 minute do you want feet protector on these no these are

00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:22.680
fine all right if your floors get ruined I take no responsibility oh no we all

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:26.840
know that'll be cool bro we're putting 12 tables in the garage that's the floor

00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:30.560
plan you know it's not heated in here right we're going to need someone to

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:34.319
take the RAM Board and and the masking tape and kind of make sure that any

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:40.400
doorways or things that are going to get hit along that route are going to be

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:42.720
okay oh w w are you excited I am a

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.040
little stressed I'm excited to play games I'm not excited to clean up wait

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.400
this is where they put the furniture from the living room they know we're

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:53.920
piling this room up with tables too right no it's not getting piled too bad

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:58.640
there's like three tables three tables because there's power constraints ah

00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:04.680
which is probably something we should talk about the lower garage it has two

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.560
circuits mhm we need eight well how are

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:12.760
we going to do that you are not doing that he wanted to pull the electric car

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:16.640
charger off the wall disconnect it hook it up to a power distribution box oh no

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:23.799
no no that's not what we're doing oh my gosh what is happening right now is this

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:23.799
actual work please don't hurt

00:03:25.239 --> 00:03:31.080
yourself I wish I was doing that this is your plan yeah you see what that says

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:35.239
right there yeah yeah you got to sh for infinite cables I get it but where are

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:39.280
you going to pull this from a few places upstairs garage that has one circuit

00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:43.760
that brings us to three of our eight there's like three right inside this

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:46.799
door for some reason and the rest we're going to pull from the theater room what

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:51.239
the theater room well the theater room has like 6 15 amp circuits because it's

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:55.959
set up for all the audio stuff right and it's set up in case I ever wanted to put

00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:57.760
in a Samsung the wall yes um but it's a

00:03:55.959 --> 00:04:00.959
very small room so we can only fit a couple tables in there the rest of the

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.760
power we're going to pull to over here now because of the distance we can't

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:09.680
just use any extension cord you have to make sure you get ones that are rated

00:04:06.079 --> 00:04:11.680
for 15 amps and at 100 ft it's pretty

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.680
heavy now the reason for that is conductors pretty much regardless of how

00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:19.400
good they are have some amount of resistance and the further you go the

00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:23.360
greater the resistance now they can combat this by making the conductors

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.320
thicker M which is what they did in this case but you just have to make sure that

00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:31.240
you buy one that can handle that full 15 amps what you want me to do I have your

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:34.240
perfectly organized circuit map up it's not quite perfect cuz these aren't

00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:38.880
labeled but at least in here it says these three are one circuit those three

00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:44.880
are one circuit nice two circuits in here and one plug on north wall I mean

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:48.000
this is not a tripping Hazard

00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:58.680
right okay where we going to put your sack it's quite large and fuzzy yeah I'm

00:04:57.080 --> 00:05:02.440
starting to seriously wonder if this was a good idea people are going to put all

00:05:00.520 --> 00:05:06.880
this stuff back right let's go get the tablecloths wow

00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:14.120
we're we're going to be that classy yeah we don't want to scratch your walls lonus I mean I thought this looked great

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.120
as it was no we have tablecloth no

00:05:14.280 --> 00:05:20.840
no I did that on purpose you're not a

00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:23.680
tablecloth silly oh guys that can go

00:05:20.840 --> 00:05:29.000
anyone want it anyone who wants a media console who's taking it Colin's taking

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:32.960
it Colin's taking it we got a taker

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:35.000
let's go yeah W these knock to a fans

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:39.000
alone are worth like $40 Canadian dollars what a deal this is a pretty

00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:43.919
good strategy you can get rid of a lot of old crap I know anyone want a

00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:48.479
Colton Colin didn't know that he was taking that home he thought he was just

00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:51.800
taking it outside

00:05:48.479 --> 00:05:53.600
what English isn't his first language I

00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:59.120
thought you guys said we got tablecloths these are just Square garbage bags you

00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:01.440
took pictures of things h no he didn't I

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:05.880
asked and he's like no bro I will remember how close does it have to be to

00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:12.160
the original you have security cameras everywhere in your house there is 30 FPS

00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:16.319
of photos fight look it's the first time Colton had a bright

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:20.840
idea back to this switch that you threw at me for a second we've got four 10 gig

00:06:18.440 --> 00:06:24.919
down links we've got a 10 gig up link this is 1 gig it's four port 10 gig 1

00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:28.160
gig is just for PoE power if you want Power with PoE why on Earth would we use

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:32.400
these we're going to need so many of them we only using one of these it's just for the spot right there in the

00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:39.000
land room since there's two systems there oh the rest of them are going to

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:42.759
be set up with these the Enterprise xg4

00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:44.120
which is 24 ports of 10 gig and two 25

00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:47.720
gig ports which we actually are going to make use of seriously we're going to run

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:51.680
fiber back to the mechanical room just for a couple of them where do we put it

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:55.720
this switch is going to be for pretty much this entire room so we want to go

00:06:53.960 --> 00:07:01.639
somewhere a little bit more Central I was kind of thinking on the floor over

00:06:57.479 --> 00:07:03.160
here on the floor me we put on the table

00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:07.639
uh floor is probably good actually if we're going to have cable snake over we're going to have to like tape cables

00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:12.639
good call yeah okay conveniently my network room is already ubiqui up the

00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:16.319
butt so all we have to do is link it you've brought a lot of gear here and

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:22.280
you also brought Shawn who's our Network admin guy uh what are we doing de

00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:27.000
perfecting your perfectly organized rack oh yeah oh 100% baby it's happening

00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:30.319
today do you have any idea how many hours I spent on this well we're going

00:07:28.599 --> 00:07:34.919
to make it great that's what Sean's here for starting with this a dream machine

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:40.879
SE it's really not that different than what you have you have a dream machine pro the the main things are it has a 2.5

00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:44.919
gig Wan here it has PoE so if you just have a couple cameras this is a good one

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:49.000
for you but we needed two matching ones so we can show off Shadow mode which is

00:07:47.159 --> 00:07:52.759
like a high availability setup for Dream Machines sort of it's like it's like a

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:56.919
warm spare we got to swap this in I already downloaded the config from that

00:07:54.520 --> 00:08:00.919
one so in theory we unplug that and put this in and it will just be exactly the

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:06.599
same nothing nothing will break in theory you have any idea how many times

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:08.039
this man has told me that well it's

00:08:06.599 --> 00:08:14.919
usually what I say before you go completely off script and just start unplugging

00:08:11.960 --> 00:08:20.800
deflection I have no idea what I just unplug it was not very effective this is

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:26.080
an aggregation Pro it's meant to be like a proper core switch like the the

00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:30.479
central part of your network it's 10 gig on all of these and then 425s okay so

00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:34.560
this is going to be your new core switch in your rack and all of your other

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:39.240
switches will link off of this and then the steam cache that we have for the

00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:41.200
event will link off of this oo and so

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:44.800
will some of the tables with some Fiber now this thing is legit because we're

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.560
planning to get a lot more use out of it than just this land once the Badminton

00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:54.160
Center is up and running this is going to just live there so we can just unroll

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:57.640
everything host a land event roll it all back up and be back to bton do you

00:08:55.800 --> 00:09:02.320
recognize this thing yeah this is our old router yeah the old PF box yeah is

00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:06.200
it fast enough yeah so land cach the open source project that people use for

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:13.399
caching games at land party so it caches like steam battl net or Windows updates

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:15.279
is a huge one at LTX that was 25% of the

00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:19.000
traffic in the land doesn't surprise me it runs on engine X which is an open

00:09:16.839 --> 00:09:23.320
source web server that is stupid efficient like half the internet

00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:28.320
probably runs on engine X I've tested this particular box at 50 gig off of the

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:32.880
cash and we still weren't hitting 100% CPU well we got for drives in here oh my

00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:36.839
God open it up open it up you I don't need to I can already see you took the

00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:41.959
kokas no it makes it makes it much better once you see the rest of it oh my

00:09:38.959 --> 00:09:45.000
gosh you put four u.2 drives in here

00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:47.399
yeah the problem is this server is PCIe

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:51.399
Gen 3 so you're losing a lot of performance off of these drives yeah I

00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:56.640
think they'll be that's why I put four yeah these are the 7 tab kokia c6s uh

00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:00.880
still really awesome drives we just have like 24 of them and don't really have a

00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:05.240
use for them so this is a a great one the way to hook them up oh my God

00:10:02.640 --> 00:10:10.519
there's two mini SAS HD ports here yeah yeah they're SATA or PCIe yeah they're

00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:15.959
SATA by default it's not a buy off setting it's a jumper and it's on like

00:10:13.079 --> 00:10:20.519
page 48 of the manual jumper is like right under here a physical jumper and

00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:24.640
then you just added a an 8X card to handle the other two yeah this is an 8X

00:10:22.079 --> 00:10:28.160
to dual m.2 that is bifurcated in the BIOS luckily this thing has bifurcation

00:10:26.640 --> 00:10:33.320
it's a server board that was a likely con and then there's m.2 to mini SAS HD

00:10:30.640 --> 00:10:36.639
Mini SAS HD to u.2 and it just barely fits man these get hot so I had to move

00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:40.920
the fan that was here that's usually for an extra Nick to be there for the drives

00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:46.519
they're they're spaced a little bit with velcro gets a little warm but it also

00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.839
rips and the integrated four 10 gig

00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:54.200
ports mean we can combine them for 40 gig out of this thing it's pretty

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:56.519
awesome and it's so small yeah we got to

00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:59.720
decide where we're putting stuff we know one of the routers is going in place of

00:10:58.160 --> 00:11:03.959
this one y the other one is just for that shadow

00:11:01.560 --> 00:11:06.720
mode thing it's still early access so I don't think you're going to want to

00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:09.399
deploy that in your house to I'm thinking we just put it up there so

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:13.360
during the land party if there's a problem we have that cash these magnetic

00:11:11.839 --> 00:11:18.480
Cable Management things are great I use them for everything check this out not

00:11:15.560 --> 00:11:24.079
only do I hold cables in place with them I use these ones to hold this door open

00:11:21.760 --> 00:11:24.079
see

00:11:24.839 --> 00:11:29.440
look is Yvonne working from home she's

00:11:27.880 --> 00:11:34.320
not going to have internet for like a minute it's probably fine YOLO how many

00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:37.240
LT merch items do you think I'm going to be cleaning up for my house after this

00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:42.000
land that don't have people's names on them these guys working on the important

00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:47.800
stuff TP distribution Squad did we plan to put anyone on the stage here no okay

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:53.120
so theoretically we could get a couch and put it here and people could use the

00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:54.440
projector maybe actually no not really

00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:59.399
there's going to be people's computers here hey okay n forget it I can always

00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:03.600
count on you to tell me what's up oh great I one thing I didn't realize is

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:07.120
that while we're doing the W show today I thought we were doing it at the studio

00:12:05.079 --> 00:12:11.440
turns out we're doing it here which might not be that bad

00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:16.440
because I mean I'm already set up for streaming right here Andy Andy be

00:12:13.800 --> 00:12:20.279
luke we can make that work right yeah this is perfect for Lan show Lan show

00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:25.720
yeah nice we just need Dan oh we just need

00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:28.160
Dan to help hey speak of the

00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:32.800
devil um we decided how we're doing W show come come come come hey that looks

00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:37.519
pretty good yeah easy you know I think things are kind of coming together the

00:12:34.160 --> 00:12:39.160
family room looks great dining room not

00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:44.360
that wow we're seating a lot of people in here heck yeah 10 yep the living room

00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:48.800
is going to be where it's happening man this is awesome so we're just going to

00:12:45.880 --> 00:12:53.199
send it eh what else do we ever do this is fair all right yeah there you go oh

00:12:51.440 --> 00:13:01.079
it came out cool my favorite way to remove cage nuts these are rack studs if you're not

00:12:56.839 --> 00:13:02.600
familiar they are little nylon well cage

00:13:01.079 --> 00:13:06.079
nut Replacements they make them in individual ones which is what's in use

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:10.560
for most of the rack but they make these awesome ones called The Duo and it's

00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:15.920
specifically designed for oneu Stuff they're so easy you just put it

00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:20.600
in and it's a little easier when you don't have a bunch of stuff to and fro

00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:24.079
but boom and then once you put the piece of equipment in you just spin these

00:13:21.839 --> 00:13:27.440
little nylon nuts on pob sh Uncle they're super strong anything that you

00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:32.639
could use cage nuts for you can totally use these for I have been asked if the

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:35.160
network is down correct I will pass that

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:39.040
along CH booting back up is someone coordinating the food order I'm

00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:43.240
coordinating the food order I just sent it my Wi-Fi is down I switched to iOS I

00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:46.959
don't know how a hot spot works on an iPhone everyone just left for lunch and

00:13:45.560 --> 00:13:51.600
while I could just sit here and eat the rest of my mountain of Greek salad and load games onto my computer I realized

00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:58.040
you know what it would be way more useful if I figure out how to use the

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:59.480
Sono speaker setup as a PA system I've

00:13:58.040 --> 00:14:05.320
wanted to do this basically since I installed it and I just keep not getting around to it now I got an excuse you can

00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:09.759
see why we do videos here right but on the Play Store I found an app called

00:14:06.959 --> 00:14:14.839
Sonos talk intercom for Sonos with 4.2 stars and 10,000 plus downloads let's

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:20.199
give it a shot welcome to lonus land 2023 or should I say lonus land only

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:26.079
ever because we are never doing this again welcome welcome to lius land 2023

00:14:23.920 --> 00:14:29.519
or should I say lius land only ever because we're never doing this again I

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:34.199
think just the one in this room will probably be

00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:38.600
fine I think just the one in this room will probably be fine fast forward about

00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:42.199
an hour and some lunch and our network setup is almost done at least on this

00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:46.399
side you can see there's there's nothing plugged in here yet all the Upstream is

00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:50.600
not done yet but we do at least have the core switch in here and the rest of the

00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:54.320
switch is properly Uplink to it so the internet comes in from our dream machine

00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.880
into our core switch and then we have two 10 gig links there there and there

00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:04.079
to each of the other switches so those are all going to have 20 gig lacp links

00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:08.000
and then our steam cache wonderful 40 gig you can see all four of them right

00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:12.800
there we've clearly gone past necessary signage all the way

00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:15.440
to whatever this is but we are making

00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:19.399
real progress as well the basement room is totally set up for networking and

00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:24.720
power the garage has gone from unpleasant and bare to still pretty

00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:27.399
unpleasant but not bare just hope you don't end up with the seat because

00:15:25.959 --> 00:15:33.199
you're going to be right next to the cat PE contaminated bean bag

00:15:30.319 --> 00:15:38.880
filling I got to throw that away and Dan has done whatever this

00:15:35.319 --> 00:15:41.040
is okay we got net data running here so

00:15:38.880 --> 00:15:46.120
we can see if the cache is running I am on Wi-Fi so like this is probably not

00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:52.240
going to be the most amazing speeds I'm getting 250 down megabit and I can see

00:15:50.040 --> 00:15:56.360
it on the cach which means the cash is indeed working the dream machine did

00:15:54.120 --> 00:16:01.399
actually plug in and adopt everything again like it was nothing which is great

00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:04.600
on the very off chance that there was some issue with the fiber I wanted to

00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:08.560
have some internet so I brought our little like backup LTE Puck and we'll

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:11.800
plug that into the dream machine which does have failover support So in theory

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:17.480
it would automatically fail over this will not get used but I'm going to plug it in anyways now let's talk Shadow mode

00:16:15.319 --> 00:16:22.240
which is the new warm spare High availability thing that they've got

00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:24.880
going it's really simple to Cable you

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:29.079
basically just take a port off of your land side on your dream machine that you

00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:33.560
have as your primary and you plug that in to the WAN port on the backup dream

00:16:31.880 --> 00:16:36.920
machine that's all you have to do to Cable it then you go into the UniFi

00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:42.199
dashboard and configure Shadow mode selecting the backup dream machine as

00:16:39.160 --> 00:16:43.959
the backup and if you do have a failure

00:16:42.199 --> 00:16:48.680
it's not quite there yet where it will automatically fail over what you'll have

00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:50.800
to do is recable it ever so slightly so

00:16:48.680 --> 00:16:54.959
you would take your land side and plug it into the backup one and you would

00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:58.519
take your Wan your proper Wan and plug it into the backup one because what it's

00:16:56.880 --> 00:17:03.759
doing is keeping the config on the backup dream machine the exact same as

00:17:01.160 --> 00:17:07.120
the active one so if there was a big failure all you have to do is a couple

00:17:05.679 --> 00:17:11.640
simple steps to move some cables around if you had a proper separate management Network you could actually do this all

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:15.240
with vlans and not actually have to move any switches or have a tech on hand all

00:17:13.199 --> 00:17:20.120
the time but in the long term the goal is for them to have a kind of like op

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:23.079
Shadow mode that would be proper full High availability where everything would

00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:26.679
be wired up and if something went down it would detect it and be like ah time

00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:29.840
to pull in the backup one it's coming eventually but in the meantime this is

00:17:28.760 --> 00:17:36.520
what we got and it's a hell of a lot better than nothing we've got our core in our land cache is working our minis

00:17:34.520 --> 00:17:40.799
form is presumably working everything's wired up I guess all we have to do now

00:17:38.360 --> 00:17:43.679
is wire up all of that I think in the background people have been running

00:17:41.760 --> 00:17:48.280
Ethernet cables from the switches I peaked my head in after lunch but um we

00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:52.880
do need to run the uplinks fortunately when we did the Rena we ran Cat 6A and

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:56.360
10 gig to everywhere in lineus is heal so anyone that's upstairs is just going

00:17:54.720 --> 00:18:00.000
to run off the existing wires that are patched in here already we just have to

00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:05.919
kind of configure the ports but for the downstairs since it's a lot closer and

00:18:02.760 --> 00:18:07.600
kind of because we can I have this super

00:18:05.919 --> 00:18:12.080
cool armored single mode fiber from infinite cables that we're just going to

00:18:09.360 --> 00:18:17.720
like run through the halls and connect the downstairs main switches at 25 gig

00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:21.840
and actually we have enough ports that we could just run it at 50 gig which is

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:26.400
silly but we're going to do it anyways with the help of these guys from Flex

00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:29.960
Optics what's even cooler about Flex Optics transceivers is that they're

00:18:27.679 --> 00:18:33.679
Universal unless you specify when you're buying it it won't have any programming

00:18:31.840 --> 00:18:37.440
when you get it instead you need their Flex box which is a transceiver

00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:41.960
programmer you plug it in and then you can configure it to be recognized as a

00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:46.400
transceiver from any number of companies they even have it down to like specific

00:18:43.760 --> 00:18:49.919
model numbers from certain companies and while you biy products don't care what

00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:54.000
vendor or model of transceiver you're using as long as it's generally

00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:58.960
compatible um some companies do like if you have a Cisco switch you can like set

00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:02.840
it to any number of different Cisco ones I mean we'll still use the ubiquity one

00:19:00.679 --> 00:19:05.640
that's on here cuz why not but in theory I could program it to the Cisco one and

00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:12.320
it would just work maybe I'll just do that once it's programmed you just take your transceiver plug your single fiber

00:19:10.320 --> 00:19:18.000
into it because it's by dieye plug it into the switch the other side's not connected so

00:19:15.280 --> 00:19:22.320
it's not going to work but it will soon hey uh there's no Ethernet in the the

00:19:20.520 --> 00:19:26.000
living room oh we can solve that pretty easily yeah we just got to run us one of

00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:28.360
the spools up into the office yeah well I don't know where the spools are so

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:33.440
they AR very helpful oh they're in the garage they were oh yeah we got all the

00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:40.559
fiber spools already is that one of the holes I think that one and then that one

00:19:36.159 --> 00:19:42.679
oh it's literally right here oh yeah

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:45.720
yeah they didn't hire me cuz I'm smart they hired me cuz I plan

00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:02.480
events for funsies I decided to have a look at how our energy consumption has

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:08.600
increased since we started setting up oh I forgot we installed that during the

00:20:03.760 --> 00:20:11.360
solar right we are already up by about

00:20:08.600 --> 00:20:14.440
30% and we haven't even powered on any people's computers yet now here's the

00:20:12.760 --> 00:20:18.520
thing we talked about all the different circuits and running extension cords

00:20:16.520 --> 00:20:22.559
everywhere we are pretty sure we're not going to blow any of these Breakers but

00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:28.400
what we don't know is if we're going to blow the main service to the house I've

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:31.039
only got 200 amps which wait is it 200

00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:35.280
or 100 I can't remember 200 amps that should be

00:20:32.120 --> 00:20:37.640
fine so you're telling me don't dry my

00:20:35.280 --> 00:20:41.400
clothes don't charge my car oh certainly don't charge the car though of course

00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:46.440
the biggest star of the land party is definitely going to be the most analog

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:48.000
game there super checks hockey let's go

00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:52.880
come at me bro

00:20:49.520 --> 00:20:54.720
oh dang got all the controllers charged

00:20:52.880 --> 00:21:00.600
up so we can do up to eight players on PC or I think we got uh five switch Pro

00:20:58.080 --> 00:21:05.640
Pro controllers and it's amazing how quickly one of Dan setups can go from

00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:10.360
spaghetti cables everywhere to Spaghetti cables just in most places I think we're

00:21:08.360 --> 00:21:15.080
pretty much ready right like here if I sat here that

00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:19.240
oh no that's definitely not right well we'll figure it out who brings two

00:21:17.080 --> 00:21:22.919
monitors to a land Chase did you not tell people they can only have one

00:21:20.679 --> 00:21:26.279
monitor I couldn't help noticing that this is a really weird setup and has a

00:21:24.919 --> 00:21:30.960
bunch of stuff we didn't talk about why are there Thunderbolt Nicks in here for

00:21:28.520 --> 00:21:35.080
The Minis forum and what does that do if you want to have a game server or it

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:38.279
runs the SMB share so people can share files it was one of those things where

00:21:36.919 --> 00:21:41.720
like I could run it on your Nas but then I'd have to ask you to like get access

00:21:40.600 --> 00:21:46.400
to it and it was easier to just bring the minis for him but it couldn't run on

00:21:43.760 --> 00:21:51.640
the seam cash it could it's just running Docker but I like to just have the cash

00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:55.520
be its own thing really he just really likes that little mini Forum box and

00:21:53.480 --> 00:22:02.799
wanted an excuse to use it the CPU in this thing is almost as powerful as two

00:21:58.080 --> 00:22:04.799
2690 v4s right why do we need a py KVM

00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:07.480
for the mini form oh just so that you can remotely access it if you need to

00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:12.440
change anything uh which actually came in handy because I screwed something up with the firewall on it and what game

00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:16.799
servers are we planning to run Counter Strike uh there's a couple like weird

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:20.480
landan Windows games that chase brought up and they only run on Windows okay so

00:22:19.120 --> 00:22:24.640
cool there's a Windows VM oh are we going to have a dedicated Halo C server

00:22:22.520 --> 00:22:28.559
we can we should is it better that way oh yeah okay we yeah so there's no host

00:22:26.600 --> 00:22:33.400
Advantage we'll go do that after okay look the fiber is all done so we've got

00:22:31.520 --> 00:22:37.480
50 gig to the switch out here which is silly we don't have Ethernet in the

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:41.919
family room like we thought so we've got 25 gig up there and 25 gig to the lower

00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:47.039
garage nice and then the rest of it it is all Uplink through the existing

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:48.919
switches each of these have 20 gig but

00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:53.600
every individual seat has 10 that's the big thing I think we might actually be

00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:59.080
okay for power we're only at about 9 kilowatt hours in the last hour oh this

00:22:56.919 --> 00:23:04.559
only updates every hour though we're going to have to see how this

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:06.720
goes can you not I already told you you

00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:10.799
could only have one monitor we have like a 300 watt power budget per person

00:23:09.159 --> 00:23:14.799
things are going great out here I see you guys are the cold gang any

00:23:13.080 --> 00:23:21.039
particular reason you chose the uh garage cuz it's going to get hot why are

00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:25.120
you also running ferm

00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:26.640
Mark nobody wants to go in here a oh

00:23:25.120 --> 00:23:30.760
well it's cuz it's the family room they thought it was reserved for family

00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:36.159
which would also explain why the living room is full of all the people who are the life of the party you guys have so

00:23:34.159 --> 00:23:42.200
much energy they

00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:44.840
try nobody in the theater yet because uh

00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:47.919
our camera operator right there and Chase who's helping organize things have

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:54.200
already Stak their claims here but this looks freaking awesome you brought an

00:23:50.679 --> 00:23:57.200
iMac to a land party yes but Ruby was

00:23:54.200 --> 00:24:01.880
super easy to bring just like this

00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:04.960
that's not the problem icon uh game here

00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:05.960
like play League of Legends for example

00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:10.520
yeah it's all the games that are supported on Mac like League of Legends

00:24:08.600 --> 00:24:14.080
that's my for and League of Legends I don't need

00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:20.120
more I just finished W show and came downstairs it is an absolute mad house

00:24:17.159 --> 00:24:24.240
in here and it's like this in basically every area that we set up we had a few

00:24:22.159 --> 00:24:27.880
people RSVP and not show up but then we also had some randoms show up and we

00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:32.679
really did end up with we think about 80 people obviously the cooling is okay

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:36.240
other than that I think right now the AC is running and also the heating is

00:24:34.520 --> 00:24:40.399
running no no no I flipped the breakers off in the AC because we were worried

00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:44.520
that we were going to run out of power I see speaking of which what we haven't

00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:49.279
addressed yet is the power how's the power doing we're drawing 17 Kow the

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:54.840
highest I've seen it go is like 19 and a half which sounds scary but we're

00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:57.159
actually okay because it's a 200 amp 240

00:24:54.840 --> 00:25:00.960
volt service technically it's two phases right

00:24:58.399 --> 00:25:05.120
so only can really load that to 80% which is 160 amps but that's still like

00:25:02.760 --> 00:25:10.120
35 KS like we're fine so we could fill like the upstairs next time in

00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:15.840
theory that everything is on the right phases evenly split up which it probably

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:19.600
mostly is sick um I was worried about the AC freezing outside cuz it's so cold

00:25:18.520 --> 00:25:24.399
that makes sense you know what with the Windows open anyway it's fine it's fine

00:25:22.600 --> 00:25:28.919
they actually had the Bay open in the garage and everyone was happy with it

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:35.000
other than Sten who sitting right next to the open Bay so I closed it but yeah

00:25:31.080 --> 00:25:38.000
I mean power's fine oh yeah okay 6 700

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:40.360
megabytes a seconds even at LTX with

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:46.120
like 500 seats the peak we saw was like 15 well the thing is the faster your

00:25:42.919 --> 00:25:48.760
connection is the less likely it is to

00:25:46.120 --> 00:25:52.760
become congested because you download a game so fast that you're on it and off

00:25:50.399 --> 00:25:56.960
it and people are pretty good about downloading games account and you

00:25:55.120 --> 00:26:00.679
usually run out of CPU on an individual client so most people can push like 2

00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:07.960
gig or something like that maybe my 13900 K was at like 70% usage and I'm

00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:09.559
going 250 MB a second as fast as I can

00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:15.240
sick I figure now that there's like a 100 people in the building is a a good

00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:19.399
time to test the Wi-Fi so the AP is over

00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:19.399
there we've got lots of people in

00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:27.360
here 200 300 600 700 800 900 the upload

00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.760
is not going to be as good I don't know what is about these new iPhones but I

00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:35.240
feel like the antenna is not that great cuz even when I'm at my house and I'm

00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:41.600
like right next to my AP I get like maybe 500 up on 60 um on a laptop you'll

00:26:39.080 --> 00:26:46.880
get above gig but look at that one almost 1,000 down of course as cool as

00:26:44.320 --> 00:26:50.360
all of this is it is just the pre-show for what whale lands are going to be

00:26:48.320 --> 00:26:53.799
like at the Badminton Center I just want to shout out ubiquity for sponsoring

00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:58.799
this video providing all the networking gear that they did also infinite cables

00:26:56.760 --> 00:27:03.000
yes we will talk about infinite cables Jake uh oh and also Flex optics for

00:27:01.080 --> 00:27:06.760
providing some of these transceivers uh we are going to be taking all this stuff

00:27:04.399 --> 00:27:10.279
ripping it out of my house obviously packing it over to the land Center and

00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:14.880
getting some sick events going over there I hope to see you guys there if

00:27:12.760 --> 00:27:19.080
you guys enjoyed this video oh maybe go check out the one where we roasted

00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:23.640
people's rigs at wh land 2023 it was amazing some of them were so dumb

00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:25.880
