1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,040 if you're anything like me you are rightfully tired of paying for monthly 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,840 subscriptions it feels like every day there's something new that's demanding a 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:14,480 monthly fee whether it's a TV show you like your car's heated seats or a piece 4 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:19,640 of software that you need for work the corporate meta these days is you own 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,359 nothing you pay forever and you could 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:27,599 just lie there and take it or you can do what we do and use your hyper nerd 7 00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:30,039 powers to push back you can load your 8 00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:33,840 media into a private Netflix with Plex you can automate your home with home 9 00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:39,320 assistant heck you can even host your own cloud photo backup with image the 10 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,600 problem is all of those things require at least some storage and more 11 00:00:41,559 --> 00:00:47,800 critically some knowhow when it comes to setup and maintenance now I'm sure that 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:52,640 most of you are more than capable of figuring it out and you might even enjoy 13 00:00:50,199 --> 00:00:56,000 the process but if you like me you probably also enjoy relaxing at the end 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:02,320 of the day without your family complaining that the garage doors won't open and that Plex is buffering 15 00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:07,080 what if there was a way to take that complexity wrap it up in a nice little 16 00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:12,680 package or interface if you will and make it so that anyone could be their 17 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:15,200 home's Tech hero okay maybe not anyone 18 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:19,680 but the truth is I have no idea exactly how user-friendly it is because even 19 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:26,400 though I invested $250,000 into the idea that became hexos 20 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,960 over two years ago I have literally 21 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:34,079 never tried it until today like right 22 00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:36,960 right now Jake is it any good I'm not 23 00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:43,040 telling you before our sponsor ODU don't let mismatching apps 24 00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:46,920 slow down your business use ODU to make your life easier check out their 25 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,479 all-in-one business Suite using our Link in the video 26 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:02,920 description the story of why I decided to invest in this is actually kind of 27 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,520 funny John from their team reached out to let me know hey I'm leaving un raid 28 00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:13,599 I'm going to embark on this crazy Journey would you like to be an angel investor and I kind of went yeah thank 29 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:19,840 you so much for thinking of me but I'm out then the very next weekend I burned 30 00:02:17,239 --> 00:02:26,920 an entire evening fighting with a new trunz setup and well one thing led to 31 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:29,040 another and here it is to uh answer your 32 00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:32,879 earlier question it's still pretty beta so there is a lot that's missing but 33 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:37,599 what's available today in the Early Access version they're launching it's 34 00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:42,760 actually pretty promising exciting maybe but we should probably give everyone a 35 00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:44,640 quick tldr before we get into that cool 36 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:49,000 hexos what you're seeing on the screen right now is an operating system like 37 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,360 say Windows but purpose built for running your own storage and your own 38 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:58,879 apps on your own Hardware whether that's at home or a small business now none of 39 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:02,560 that is special network attached storage or Nas operating system systems have 40 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:07,159 been around for longer than I have and we have featured similar software like 41 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:11,840 traz and unraid numerous times over the years the Special Sauce is that hexos is 42 00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:18,400 designed to be easy to use even if you're not a jake what's that supposed 43 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,720 to mean it means show me how to set it 44 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:25,680 up nerd well you've got your USB right here have at her all got it yeah off the 45 00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:29,080 floor now we could have used a fancy pre-built server like we usually do but 46 00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:33,319 we figured it'd be better to show it off with something from eBay like this 47 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:37,319 Optiplex 3050 we got for 45 bucks it's got solid quad core bones but it's 48 00:03:35,239 --> 00:03:42,680 missing storage and only had a 1 gig Network Port so we picked up a used 256 49 00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:47,799 gig SSD to boot from an Intel 10 gig network card and a pair of 4 TB C8 Nas 50 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:51,599 hard drives which fit as long as you're willing to get a little bit creative 51 00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:56,120 with the stubby from Mt store.com that brings our total before accounting for 52 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,920 bulk storage to a nice $69 nice we're going to have links to 53 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,599 those down in the video description if you want to build something similar now 54 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,840 we've already updated the BIOS and if you're rehabbing an old machine like 55 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:13,200 this it is a good idea for you to do the same install-wise then it's the same as 56 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:17,400 any other OS plug in a bootable installer USB you can make one of those 57 00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:22,440 with the iso image and a tool like Rufus or etcher hold your system setup key 58 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:27,720 configure to select your USB boot device restart and you should be good to go oh 59 00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:30,560 there is one thing if you want to run virtual machines or apps you're also 60 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:36,360 going to want to make sure that virtualization is enabled while you're in the system setup once you're in the 61 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:41,160 installer hit install select your desired boot storage administrative user 62 00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:45,800 enter a password and hit install when that's done remove the USB installer and 63 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:49,840 reboot pretty simple but it will hopefully get even simpler in the future 64 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:55,080 how could that be simpler oh you're actually asking yeah I actually just 65 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,000 going to remove steps oh cool all right 66 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,840 with the system booted head to the hexos cloud dashboard and as long as your 67 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,440 system and you are on the same network it should automatically detect it and be 68 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:10,199 ready for setup hit claim enter the password you said earlier and this is it 69 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:12,280 I finally get to look at hexos and since 70 00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:16,160 I know you guys are going to ask yes a self hostable app for the dashboard will 71 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,319 be available in the future but for now it's it's Cloud only save on magnetic 72 00:05:18,039 --> 00:05:24,759 Cable Management screwdrivers and more at LTT stores Black Friday sale deals 73 00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:30,280 are still going on now so check them out at the link below or at lm. g/ Black 74 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:34,960 Friday now you'll probably notice away that everything is pretty guided it does 75 00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:39,240 compatibility checks for you to ensure that your Hardware is optimal and it 76 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:44,080 makes it easy to see if everything is working click on the hard drives let's 77 00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:46,720 see okay what do we got there oh yeah it's got the USB we don't need that 78 00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:53,199 anymore oh yeah we can take that didn't follow our own instructions oops okay 79 00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:55,000 and here's my storage yeah so it should 80 00:05:53,199 --> 00:06:00,319 automatically set up your drives in the most optimal configuration which for us 81 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:03,680 you can see with only two 4 TB drives 82 00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:06,000 is either a raid Z1 or a mirror I think 83 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,840 it's a mirror yep okay so that allows one of our drives to fail without any 84 00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:14,560 data loss which actually does a really good job of communicating extremely 85 00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:19,080 clearly yeah one drive can fail 4 tabes usable it's great what's cool is it'll 86 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:23,280 even create separate pools for ssds and hard drives if you have both so you can 87 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:27,520 put performance sensitive data like uh virtual discs for example on your ssds 88 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:32,280 and then all the rest of it on your cheaper mechanical storage it is worth 89 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:36,919 noting that if we had more drives which we could have if we threw an inexpensive 90 00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:40,800 uh HBA card into our server it would configure it differently according to 91 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,240 ZFS best practices so if we had like five or six drives yeah but six drives 92 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,880 would probably do a raid Z2 so we could lose two without losing any data fun 93 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,759 fact by the way if you're not trying to do anything custom like setting a 94 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:57,720 non-standard array layout which by the way will be supported in future releases 95 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:02,919 all you have to do is click a few times click continue yeah I confirm that these 96 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:08,479 will be deleted I create a name for the server your dad's Dell uh confirm that 97 00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:12,360 you're going to wipe the drives and that's it you've got your very own 98 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:17,599 network attached storage server ready to go yeah that means owning your data in a 99 00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:24,560 way that is not annoying to manage kind of awesome in theory but what can it do 100 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:30,240 wait is it done already yes oh wow yeah that's pretty cool yeah huh this is this 101 00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:34,000 is actually surprisingly friendly all of the features are 102 00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:40,319 definitely not there but what is there is is polished so this is the dashboard 103 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:44,960 right hey you got your processor that's doing stuff you got your memory that's 104 00:07:42,599 --> 00:07:48,120 also doing stuff yeah very clearly labels the speed that your networking is 105 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:53,039 operating at I didn't notice that that's cute yeah which one is that the one that's working yeah oh look at the 106 00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:58,440 little graph right there nice most importantly our 107 00:07:55,159 --> 00:08:00,400 storage Okay cool so what do we got here 108 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:04,159 uh we can expand this no we can't we don't have extra drives oh oh that kind 109 00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:08,840 of expansion yeah I thought it meant expand the look at it the the view 110 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:14,319 drives you can do that okay cool I can view drives nice I think you broke D 111 00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:19,800 break it I I think I broke it already oh you changed the networking settings oh 112 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:26,280 dude dude this is why I'm such a good beta 113 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:30,759 tester did I click apply oh yeah no I I totally clicked up you C 100% clicked 114 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:35,080 right that's why there was an alias there cool all right okay we're back in 115 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:38,440 the Das trying storage we're trying to look at the storage yeah I don't know 116 00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:46,839 how we ended up there view drives hey look at that we got some drives let's 117 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:48,720 go hey healthy device ID temperature a 118 00:08:46,839 --> 00:08:52,600 lot of parts of the dashboard like this have basic functionality but there is 119 00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:56,279 stuff that's going to be added on later like eventually you'll be able to go hey 120 00:08:54,160 --> 00:09:02,680 run a smart test which is checking the drive's health or see your old smart 121 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:05,880 test or schedule smart test but from a 122 00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:07,760 basic standpoint anyway this is working 123 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:11,680 however we can't actually do anything with it yet there's another step that we 124 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:15,240 need to go through before we can use our storage over the network and that's 125 00:09:13,079 --> 00:09:22,519 creating a folder or a share it does take a couple of extra clicks uh okay 126 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,839 add a folder line of share and then 127 00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:31,880 managing permissions this is incredible this is 128 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:35,279 so need to add a user first simple uh 129 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:38,040 yeah sure fine I'll add a user L and 130 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:41,000 then I go into my folders oh boom brother 131 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:47,680 dude I sent some long emails to John oh 132 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:52,839 yeah bless his heart poor guy um talking about permissions and what a nightmare 133 00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:55,920 it is on other Naas operating systems just Drilling in guys it's got to be 134 00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,399 simple and this 135 00:09:57,959 --> 00:10:04,680 dude this is the best I could have possibly hoped for are you telling me 136 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:13,160 you don't want to learn how to do acl's no no I just I just want to get my Linux 137 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:16,160 isos onto my network storage and off the 138 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:19,000 well right the idea here is that you can 139 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:22,480 make users for your kids your roommate your spouse whatever and everyone can 140 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,880 have their own private place to put files and you can either have readon 141 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:31,839 access or full access so I'm going to give myself full access I'm just going 142 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:37,519 to make this a public share which I wouldn't necessarily recommend doing but 143 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:42,680 hey it's there now so theoretically I can just access this share immediately 144 00:10:40,519 --> 00:10:45,519 yeah here click on this though oh sure and then go click 145 00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:54,320 browse there you go it tells you how to do it oh oh oh cute yeah and you just 146 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:57,800 copy paste and click enter and you're there I mean you didn't technically 147 00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:01,639 follow the instructions they told you to map it but you're there and there 148 00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:08,040 there's actually if you click the drop down it gives you the Mac instructions too oh cute yeah wasn't that so easy how 149 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,120 long did that take you could probably have done that in like 3 minutes look at 150 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,800 that it's done already yeah do another one let's go it's a mirror so we're 151 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,480 limited to the speed of one hard drive but I mean it just works right to be 152 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,720 clear there is nothing groundbreaking about having a network share and being 153 00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:30,279 able to copy some flipping files to it but if you have ever set up trz you will 154 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,320 know that it takes a few more clicks and 155 00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:38,839 probably some Google searches I have no idea what you're talking about yeah 156 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:40,639 sure but while Simplicity sounds great 157 00:11:38,839 --> 00:11:44,480 in theory when it comes to trusting something that holds your precious data 158 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:49,360 you would hope that stability and security would also be priorities and 159 00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:55,399 they are and it's kind of the coolest part see hexos is not a groundup project 160 00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:59,240 that would have taken even more years to pull off and frankly would have been a 161 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:04,360 complete waste of time which is why the the team decided to build off of an 162 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:06,800 already respected storage system tras 163 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:11,760 for the uninitiated tras formerly known as frez has been around in some form or 164 00:12:08,839 --> 00:12:16,399 another for nearly two decades and while their business focuses on reliable 165 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:20,880 performant open-source Enterprise grade storage something that doesn't really 166 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:26,880 need to be home user friendly they also love the idea of making it easier to use 167 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:29,160 which is why X systems is the other main 168 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:34,199 investor in hexos which gives them a Financial incentive to ensure that hexos 169 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:38,839 is a success this collaboration is super cool because even though hexos is built 170 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:44,079 for normies first all of that traz goodness is still under the hood if you 171 00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:49,680 know where to look and where is that literally right here settings trass done 172 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:54,720 so if you want to do something hexos doesn't do but trass does you can drop 173 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:58,639 into the trass interface and override it no questions asked it also means that 174 00:12:56,680 --> 00:13:02,880 hexos works with their existing Docker apps and virtual machine functionality 175 00:13:01,079 --> 00:13:07,279 it's prettyy cool until beta 2 comes out in a few months you're only going to see 176 00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:11,839 support for apps and as of shooting a few weeks before this video goes live 177 00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:18,320 only Plex and image are curated for hexos so far Let's do let's do Plex and 178 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:20,000 then hit install okay and that's it 179 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:25,519 that's it that's literally it no configuring storage 180 00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:29,320 paths assigning resources 181 00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:31,040 negative okay what if my Plex I wanted 182 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,959 GPU acceleration or something like that have they got that solved that is not 183 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:40,600 there yet as you can imagine having only two curated apps not a huge priority at 184 00:13:38,079 --> 00:13:44,320 the moment but in the future the idea would be you know like a drop down or a 185 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:49,000 checkbox yes I want to use my GPU but if you go back to folders now yeah you'll 186 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,639 see that they're exposed so now they're passed through as Network shares and if 187 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:57,199 you click on one of them like say media go to browse copy the path you can just 188 00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:02,880 copy movies right over all right because of the design for userfriendly 189 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:10,040 these are public shares by default which I was like I get it I hate it but 190 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:17,600 I get it hexos test oh do we have any media files yeah 191 00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:19,759 easy peasy dude this shouldn't be this 192 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:26,480 exciting this should just be how it's always worked this is a $69 computer 193 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:29,920 yeah just like any random ancient 194 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:32,560 machine yeah just throw this on it and 195 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:36,399 Nas even just having the permissions so that I can just click the one that says 196 00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:41,440 movies and and that'll like if you do the intuitive thing yeah it'll probably 197 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:48,839 be right yeah and that's it okay so we can see everything here yep um I'm just 198 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:52,279 going to go to other videos despic just 199 00:14:48,839 --> 00:14:54,480 like that boys hey and nobody can take 200 00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:59,040 this content off the platform or take away your access to it that compared to 201 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:04,720 the other times I've had to fight with folder permissions in tras with Plex yep 202 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:10,519 wow okay now image this one's even more challenging 203 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,000 it's actually kind of mindboggling that 204 00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:17,120 these guys have been working away on this after like me giving them some 205 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,440 funding and I have not even like asked 206 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:23,639 for an update you literally never even looked at it they showed me like uh a 207 00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:27,079 really early couple like screenshots of what they were kind of thinking for the 208 00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:30,360 vibe of the wizard yeah your email was basically I will only give you this 209 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:36,560 money if if you just don't talk to me about it until it's ready I don't have 210 00:15:33,319 --> 00:15:39,920 time for I agree okay look at that so 211 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:42,199 that's it get started bloody H okay me I 212 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:46,199 mean we can't do anything about the setup process of the apps themselves but 213 00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:52,319 well you might be able to actually but right now not a priority well put it on 214 00:15:49,839 --> 00:15:56,959 your phone no way just download the app there is absolutely no way that that 215 00:15:54,959 --> 00:16:00,319 just works you have image already okay I need to set a server end point 216 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:05,440 oh perfect okay uh allow full access oh oh 217 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,519 my God are you just going to how many photos are on this phone I a few there's 218 00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:12,440 no like the photos we wouldn't want to see 219 00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:19,759 in there is there I should certainly hope not so I just go to backup and then 220 00:16:15,959 --> 00:16:21,680 I can select any uh album that I want to 221 00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:27,519 back up from your phone from my from my phone and then I go back and I click 222 00:16:24,279 --> 00:16:29,600 backup and then just boom Hey look it's 223 00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:33,360 boom look at it go that's such a cute photo look at the kittens I know wow 224 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,680 look at that it works so you uploaded that whole folder and it's done which is 225 00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:42,000 great as long as you're on the same local network but to truly replace your 226 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:46,639 expensive subscription services like Google photos you've got to be able to 227 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:51,120 use it when you're out and about that'll be covered they'll be curating apps that 228 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:55,880 allow you to have a reverse proxy setup with like a domain you could have 229 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:59,720 photos. lin.com and that would be a relatively secure way to do it and I 230 00:16:57,639 --> 00:17:03,920 also pitched John on maybe working with cloudflare to integrate their access 231 00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:08,079 zero trust setup which allows you to do that but without port for redeem and you 232 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:12,039 can even like password protect it with your Google account oh that would be 233 00:17:10,120 --> 00:17:17,280 super cool um they're also going to have wire guard VPN integrated soon for easy 234 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,959 remote access and they also also plan to 235 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:23,600 offer a fully integrated remote access system by way of an inexpensive 236 00:17:21,439 --> 00:17:28,039 subscription which yes I know a subscription but doing that for free 237 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:31,640 wouldn't be sustainable and it's not like you're forced to use it it reminds 238 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:37,640 me of Home assistant where the subscription is it's kind of more of a convenience thing you can 100% have home 239 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:42,960 assistant remotely accessible on your own but it is inconvenient um I pay for 240 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:46,799 it and there's even more the original reason for integrating wire guard was 241 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:54,080 actually for a feature that I have been begging John to create for n years well 242 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:59,520 buddy backup this is going to be super cool the idea is that if you and a paid 243 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:06,039 friend both have hexos you'll be able to easily share storage capacity with each 244 00:18:02,159 --> 00:18:08,480 other in a safe secure manner that way I 245 00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:13,720 could back up my stuff to a separate geographic location say for example your 246 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:18,520 house and you could back up your stuff to my house and both of the shares would 247 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:22,640 be encrypted I'm not giving you what no it it's encrypted I can't even access I 248 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:26,640 don't care I'm giving you my bites look the point is that you can have a 249 00:18:24,159 --> 00:18:32,919 mutually beneficial agreement to give each other offsite backup you hear that 250 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:35,799 word said agreement what Jake oh you're 251 00:18:32,919 --> 00:18:42,159 being so unhelpful right now the point is that you'd be able to 252 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:46,240 share capacity with each other uh or just file share with each other without 253 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:51,799 having to manually set up a solution for that which is very doable today y but a 254 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:55,760 royal pain in the ARs yeah the file sharing thing is I I could Vibe with 255 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:59,320 that uh man I got to tell you the real reason I want to do this is so that I 256 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:03,520 can just build a giant off site backup Target here and then like it'll be an 257 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:08,480 employment perk because as long as I provide it for people other than myself 258 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:14,960 then it's taxfree that means it's free right is it right off now here's the 259 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:17,480 pitch hexos is an awesome concept with 260 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:21,880 real backing and a passionate team but unlike tress which it's based on it is 261 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:25,720 not free there are real people behind this project and as much as I'd love to 262 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:30,559 it's not something that I can personally fund forever so with all of that said 263 00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:35,480 Till the the end of the day December 2nd hexo's Early Access is finally available 264 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:41,480 to try out at the Black Friday only price of $99 for a lifetime license one 265 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:45,559 payment access for life including any and all future updates after the Black 266 00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:49,760 Friday sale they plan to increase the lifetime pricing to $1.99 during early 267 00:19:47,679 --> 00:19:54,120 access and then $2.99 when it goes retail with yes a cheaper monthly 268 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:59,320 subscription option coming sometime later to reiterate it is very beta there 269 00:19:57,159 --> 00:20:03,640 will be bugs which you can report on the hexos forums and you shouldn't use it 270 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:08,679 for anything that you need to work flawlessly like it'll probably be fine 271 00:20:06,159 --> 00:20:13,760 in terms of data Integrity since it's mostly just an interface for an existing 272 00:20:10,919 --> 00:20:17,280 very stable and reliable product but I have to give you guys that warning 273 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:21,840 regardless it's also not going to be the only Nas software that we ever use or 274 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:27,080 mention again it's a focused product that is meant for the HB Creator and 275 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:30,799 Tech dad market so while it would work for a small business once it's ready 276 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:35,440 it's not going to replace a dedicated hypervisor like prox MOX for instance 277 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:39,520 and if you already have a true Nas system that's working perfectly fine it 278 00:20:37,679 --> 00:20:45,120 doesn't yet support adopting an existing install so it'll require reinstalling 279 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:49,640 but hey if you like myself believe in the idea of owning your own data and you 280 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:53,799 want great Naas software that is actually user friendly like I do and you 281 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:58,320 can afford to mess around with it on a spare system the hexos folks and myself 282 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,919 would love for you to try it out and let them know know what you think if you 283 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:06,720 absolutely hate it during the beta you will be able to request a refund within 284 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:09,159 30 days and another separate note if 285 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:14,600 you're a typescript or n developer who loves the idea they're hiring and the 286 00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:18,080 info will be in the description overall 287 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:21,880 hexos takes our $69 NZ up to 288 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:24,080 $368 not as nice but what I like is that 289 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:28,880 it's an ecosystem you're not locked into and that you can upgrade the hardware if 290 00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:33,960 you want you can get a better machine or you can beef up your existing one and 291 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:38,480 worst case if you don't like hexos or if the company somehow implodes you can 292 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:43,320 just disconnect it from the dashboard and you're essentially running traz I 293 00:21:41,159 --> 00:21:47,480 really hope that doesn't happen but I just wanted to make it clear here that 294 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:52,720 there will be options unlike all those users that are running those vulnerable 295 00:21:49,159 --> 00:21:56,320 dlink nazes that simply will never be 296 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:59,679 updated to fix it brutal like this 297

so many Linux hard drives 314 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:15,679 are so expensive were you certified though 315 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,679 they're still expensive
