Transcript of Cody’s big ones:

[0:00] Music. [0:36] You’re shit and you ain’t shit. [0:43] Both insults was think about that one for a second. [0:51] Smoothwall some smoothwall firewall product. We get a new customer I’m used to work in smoothwall. Wanamaker’s sophos XG firewall look like smoothwall tough titties to the answer to that and then I’m thinking to myself do you know what I’m an open minded guy. And yes I was masturbating over the XG a couple of episodes ago. For I’ve got a virtual environment I’m for learning. So let’s get the smoothwall. [1:38] Virtual appliance see what’s going now so first thing’s first I hit up the smooth wall Reddit. And it’s pretty much empty but there’s a guy there supposedly from smoothwall saying listen you guys. We want to get this place a bit more lively hit me up. Astra licence key and I’ll get you sorted perfect so I hit him up I asked for a licence key but don’t hear anything are you just email address on there nothing to private message him. Nothing. So not a good start to be perfectly honest and you know how critical I can be but not going to let that put me off. So download the Iso I install configure up my green Zone. My red zone 1 through it being so beautiful Chris. Simple and Express product so I can actually run it at home for free anyway. Happy Days connect to the web interface now at this stage I’m just going to slice off for a second. [3:01] Cody and the guys I Do This podcast with they were doing a migration to the next big revision of the software. Part of that migration I lost all my notes for this episode so I’m going to be even less detailed than usual. What I will say despite having all my notes lost I still fucking love audience because. I don’t do any advertising for This podcast or anything I’m on the community package so it’s free and people find Amy. So whatever they’re using to publishing appetize. Behind the scenes from from me is fucking working so I lost my case notes sorry my. Podcast notes for this episode for partying itself as a product. Still get the kodi humpwhistle some sort so we get the firewall installed smoothwall. Connect to the lan interface and straight away I’m just not feeling it it doesn’t feel. You got a bear in mind I really like the sophos XG software appliance but I’m I’m trying something new and kind and needs to come in and start taking boxes straight away. [4:38] For a Kinect to it and you know what it reminds me of the weapons face reminds me of IP fire now I’ve run IP fire as my main. Firewall a home for about year year or so. Probably longer it was OK did what it did it did what it does kind of a basic firewall inbound Nat and routing out. [5:10] Wait for it didn’t do much more than that align web filter anything it did office and squid proxy but wasn’t I didn’t it wasn’t polished enough and configurable enough to use. So I just use as a outbound router data protection in bar was ok. Smoothwall reminds me of that so I do look at it look really basic entry level. Open source it felt as if it should be free and had a look at the website like for categories and configurable options there and. I just thought no I’m not I’m not taking it does not enough interest there for me to take it any further to spend any more time on. So bend it off so I’m not going to say I’m not going to be too critical. For I’m going to say I’ve had a look at smoothwall because I heard the whisperings in the field and it didn’t live up to standards for me to move across or investigate any further song Natalia now. Because I lost my notes for the aforementioned reasons. I’ve not got a great deal a fucking stuff to say but one thing did pop up there the week before last that was the Sun came out on a Saturday. [6:41] 21 degrees in England. And I don’t drink alcohol have not drank alcohol for 478 days but for one reason or another. And that day challenge me a lot. The sun is shining the weather was in fact fine and it was kind of threw me back to me earlier days it was just the perfect beer garden consumption day and just got me thinking about stuff that I thought I’d share. I thought why is it that I want to drink alcohol right now. And it was it was a form of escapism really I knew if I drank the alcohol. Edgar for want of a better word like kinda high but you get to it a really positive emotional state sent me about 3 4 pints in. And. And as well as being able to take me away from that day-to-day base level brain area that you’re living in like that so that you live in day in day out which is fine. Elevate you above that and can give you a little mental holiday she got that mental holiday you’re in a different mental place. I kinda feel unhappy because there’s first few beers and that’s sunny all just tell Lisa and I was struggling to doesn’t thinking about this I’m thinking of all the positive. [8:13] So I just said forget I need to go for a walk so went for a walk and whilst I was walk and I started naturally. Modelling some scenarios good at this at this point I was on the verge of drinking it was more chance that I was going to start drinking today than not and I started running through the models in the drink. Never feel good and it’s gonna start getting later at 9 I’m going to start to feel a bit tired. But I’m going to want to try and prolonged experience so I’ll I’m going to keep drinking I’m going to get angry. I’ll start to get a bit tired and I’ll start to get beer maybe a little bit agitated because I’m going to be thinking I’ve got to be up early tomorrow morning. I wasn’t thinking through the process it start getting throwback memories of things I’ve done whilst being drunk and at this stage Canada. I’ll be completely transparent with the easier to lose my temper. I’m not not abusive by any stretch of the imagination and bought temper can be lost easier waking up the next day I’m going to feel tired again going to be easily agitated. And then I’m starting to think about things that I don’t want them I’m really drunk and had run through it and then I change it and I won’t do that. I’ll do this. And as as well just gone through all these various models the just event coming out net positive for that initial high that you get. [9:51] And it was it was a tough day it was a really tough day but I woke up the next day I was Fresh. And I got home from a shit and and I felt better for it come the next day and I don’t really have and does not have points that I’m alluding to. Pretty sure the majority of people USA if not it’s not all probably drink alcohol and you probably can do it in a way that. Is net positive. [10:24] Yeah I just I just I mean do you ever do you ever question it yourselves really do you ever think about it maybe overanalyzed. Is it a net positive experience for you another thing for me as well if I drink I’ll get to that high I’ll get to that low the next day or last for two three days. And those two three days I’ll just kinda late around lots and getting back on track. [10:49] And that’s fine but if I’ve not drunk that night before those two three days I’m not lazing around and continuing to be more productive than what I would. Had a be hungover and leasing about so then I have brought all that into the model and it just worked out it was it was best not to do it but that doesn’t mean sometimes especially on those summer days that I don’t think about it and I don’t struggle. Sonia now another book I’ve been reading recently I know I said Derren Brown go on the tips of the other week. Boot the obstacle is the way I’ll this one it it does kind of torch on. [11:34] Philosophy and positive thinking but it does it in a really really good way and I’m not going to go into great detail but. I am going to add that to I call it I’ve got like a little Pandora’s box which is got a box or titles of books in it. And that kinda. Think about the positive impact on the way I think and if anything was that ever to happen to me my kids to be able to pick up read through the books and it don’t give him a baseline. Something that set them up for for Life you stuff to tell. Hopefully stuff that help them and this book it was just it was really good in a nutshell it’s basically something something happens that you’re frustrated with and you’re pissed off about. For Take That and and look at it in a way of. Testing yourself some more and I know it it’s the old cliche of turning it into a positive. But the book can I put it in a really am in a real clear way this Ryan holiday the author. So I’m going to give the obstacle is the way that Cody Hunt whistle thumbs up. [12:59] Now off the back of that book actually I don’t I don’t know where a list of fits in on crypto and Linux I’d probably say nowhere tough titties I’m afraid of the back of that book. Touches lightly on philosophy and stoicism and WeChat I’d probably never even heard of that word before I click the book. But it got me it I got some other guys book. Not some guys but some Greek philosopher epictetus you can get like a book that’s got some stuff in that you’ve written down years ago it’s been translated to English. I’m one of the things in there was something really it was it was. Love your child and love your wife but if they were to die remember that you loved a human. And not specifically away for a child no I may have interpreted that wrong but it’s threw me off because my whole philosophy round life. Is to be kind of not the my horse illustrious going to come off as more altruistic than what it is but to be a stable figure in the life of. Children and wife hence not drinking. For selfish reasons more so probably but then to read that this philosophers perspective was. [14:40] More to do with I don’t really know. But I tell you what the important thing is that that I mention it I do like things that make me think and I think that’s the point in trying to get to. Read this Ryan holiday the obstacle is the way and I kinda set me up for some positive thinking and then Delft into this philosophy be a couple of books address but just this one book so far they’ve recommended. And it was stuff that made me think I’m not saying I’m going to agree with it or disagree that’s actually not that important at the moment. The important thing is she got me thinking. I’m not included but shit that get you thinking man that’s that’s the kind of stuff that I want to share with you guys. [15:31] Ok now onto feelings if I’m little little low on hilarious jokes that are usually sleep in between to get me with serious this one in it. Want to goals and objectives so I had a goal of 100 downloads for an episode. Within within a month so I have released two episodes a week 8 episode 2 months one of those to the last two that have more than 100 downloads now. An interesting one because. [16:05] I was absolutely convinced that was going to miss that quite clearly last week or the week before. Now I have missed it so I failed on that objectives but that left last episode The Harvester mass data collection at 67 downloads. That’s really fucking that decent firm for when it was released them how many downloaded sad that’s the highest. Probably so again hats off to party and I know I failed the measurement aspect which is what I don’t want to but a lot is really important. I’m out I’ll be thinking about the goal to set next I’m Gonna Leave that day see if I’ve got any other notes for today I haven’t. [16:54] I’ve not got anything so. Yeah I know when we didn’t touch on tech match this week and got quite a few listeners new listeners a couple of weeks ago that was quite a turkey episode them feel the difference some respect because I was missing a note of let. Down and people who may be new to the show it’s listening today but sometimes I do just I do just rant on and talk shit. Um today is one of those days peace out.
