I record all of my videos in H.265 (XAVC HS) but but upgrading to studio resolved it, yes.

M1 Pro should be enough for your needs. Half the cost too!

Thanks Bruce! Looks like you have some amazing machines haha. Those two will be great for a long time!

Of course, thanks for watching!!

You got the best spec! Thanks for your support!

Thank you and yeah people usually assume the newer version is better!

@@johnstech7it's probably coz apple put in massive performance with the M1s to completely crush the intels

lol thanks!

Thank you! Thanks again for supporting the channel!

I’m not sure what you’re asking but the new M3 Pro machines to my knowledge use triple-channel memory instead of dual channel on the M1 Pro machines. I haven’t had any issues.

Thanks for supporting the channel! For portrait video, the resolution should automatically adapt. If it doesn’t, you’ll want to swap the resolution numbers. 4K for example in landscape will be 3840x2160 and in portrait orientation will be 2160x3840. Let me know if you have any questions!

@@johnstech7 thanks

this! B-rolls are very important. Just show close ups of the macs mentioned etc. Keep up the good work.

Nice! A 15 inch MBA was a possibility for me as well but I’d rather have the SD card slot + performance.

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

I laughed out loud. Thanks for supporting the channel sir!

Yessir! M3 Pro was shipped back haha. Thanks for your support!

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

Did you try to convert them in Handbrake?

Thanks for your support! I have a 16 inch and a 12.9 iPad Pro. I usually take the 12.9 when I need the portability but can go without a full laptop experience.

Thank you! 🤝🏾🙏🏾

Haha of course! Thanks for supporting the channel!! 🤝🏾

Ahhh I feel that pain. I’m so sorry to hear that but I hope the rebuild works better for you!

Yessir! 🤝🏾

Thanks for your support! 🙏🏾🤝🏾

Thank you, I appreciate the support! 👏🏾🤝🏾

I didn’t have a UPS. I decided to switch to UniFi for simplicity + cloud management if needed. At the time, I was planning to roll out a similar firewall solution to remote sites and wanted to get something fairly resilient (one of the remote sites sometimes has power outages for 5-8 hours on end) as I won’t have physical access after it is installed.

Hi, thanks for supporting the channel! I run LXCs for any service that sits directly on top of the system without another containerization system like Docker. From what I hear it’s possible to run docker on LXC but for stability reasons I’d rather run those as a VM since they would qualify as nested containers. VMs are for everything else!

@@johnstech7 awesome thanks for the explanation

Of course!

Hi Daniel, Thanks for supporting the channel, I really appreciate it! I think I did a deep dive in this video, but I can look into revising firewall rules in a future video! I’m not a CISO so I’ll fine tune some of the rules to increase security at some point in the future.

@@johnstech7 Hi John, ofcourse! I really enjoy your video’s. Yes you did! I was especially wondering how you configured your off- and online IoT networks. Are you blocking ports 443, 8080 etc. on the offline networks? That kind of rules/routes i’m interested in. I’m also not a CISO but i’m very interested in network security. Thanks again for your time and hope to see future videos. 👌🏼😎

Hi Daniel, Good morning! I’m actually still using the simple rules in UniFi and not the advanced ones. All it does is block any traffic from the IoT-Offline & Management network that heads to the WAN interface. This also blocks clients accessing on a VPN as well so I added another rule that allows the Proxmox hosts to hit the internet. For IoT Public it still has access to the internet but I block traffic if it’s starting from the IoT-Public VLAN to Default or Guest, but the other way to Public is allowed. Any other traffic from Public to Management or Offline is dropped. Guest also isn’t able to talk to those Management & Offline networks! Also multicast is enabled so devices on Untagged, IoT-Public and Guest can find the AirPlay devices that are available. This doesn’t require a firewall rule.

@@johnstech7 Hi John, I’m going to experiment with this. Thank you for your explanation! Keep doing what you do. You put a lot of afford and care in your work. Its just a matter of time when you will blow up on the tech side of RUclips! 😜

Thank you sir! 🙏🏾🤝🏾

Hi Tristan! Thanks for your feedback on the video! I really appreciate it! I think XCP has a slightly older kernel compared to the modified proxmox version so I assume it would tie back to that. Don’t quote me on that though! You have a good point on using Docker for XOA. I’ll look into that instead of cloning my VM from XCP. Thanks!

Hi there, I love this comment! Thanks for your words of wisdom! I’ve been trying out different technologies so I don’t become stagnant in my career. I’ve definitely felt some of what you said about companies sticking with a solution that just ends up wasting resources. I really appreciate you! 🙏🏾

well said. totally agree. i’m a 15yrs sys engineer/devops

Hi, thanks for watching the video! I know XCP is able to do backups and passthrough hardware! I just don’t want to manually compile Xen Orchestra while Proxmox has all of those features built in without a subscription. Also, I am running on some consumer micro PCs and those just don’t work that well for passing through USB ports in Xen..so that was another factor. I would frequently have to spin a VM for the deprecated XenCenter Windows client to run certain tasks just not available on XO just yet. I’m also running mostly Linux guests so I figured I may as well go with KVM. In an enterprise environment, I’d prefer XCP over Proxmox (if Nutanix KVM/AHV isn’t in the question) since I’d most likely be working with Windows guests (still not sure about how ready windows virtio drivers are) and less “sideways” tinkering required in the command line.

@@johnstech7 the XO from source script is dead simple...it literally takes 60 seconds to update...can even set it up as a cron job.

That still doesn't fix the other points I have. I'm not bashing XCP, Proxmox just works better for my use case.

Hi there! I enabled Jumbo frames on my OWC 10GbE Thunderbolt adapter on my MBP in System Prefs -> Network -> (Interface) -> Details -> Hardware page. No special drivers/kexts needed. The NIC connects to my UDM Pro which also has jumbo packets enabled. I turned on switch exclusion so it has jumbo packets on the UDM only. The other device on the UDM is my TrueNAS Server (on the R740xd).

No real update, still stock! I experimented with some wireless CarPlay solutions that integrate into the rear mirror but those weren’t reliable for me. Not really interested in wired CarPlay especially when I can just mount my phone and get more functionality that way! My other concern is losing MDI (iPod) support, music info in the dash, the CD changer and it appears some GTIs suffer from battery drain from aftermarket radios.

Of course, thanks for your support!

Thank you, I really appreciate your support! 🙏🏾

Thanks! It's actually a basic rack from amazon! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C64X8J8R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks man! I don't really keep track of time when it comes to the homelab so I don't have an estimate lol.

@@johnstech7 it’s all good. I know what it’s like as well when setting everything up. I’m glad that it’s all to your liking though.

You could just connect the SSD directly into your PC over USB but I need the redundancy and all of my storage needs consolidated in one unit.

Noice! It was my first time, so I just wanted to keep it OEM. I'll go with that part if I need a second card!

@@johnstech7 did you have any issues with your slot not bifurcating automatically?

No issues on the 7820! I didn’t run into issues until I started using the R740xd, but it seems that can only go up to x8 or two SSDs per slot.

@@johnstech7 Thanks for that I was looking at adding a 7820 to my rack for a VM server

Yeah the 7820 will be a much quieter system with similar performance specs.

SD-WAN settings are in the video! I moved the UniFi Express to the other site and remotely enabled the VPN in the same menu.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for supporting the channel!

Thanks for your support man! 🤝🏾

Yeah, that makes sense as XAVC S is H.264! That should be fine on most systems with a GPU.

@johnstech7 HS is H.265/HEVC. Must be a weird licensing issue. Same thing happens in Catalyst Browse.

Thanks for your support man! 🤝🏾🤝🏾

Thanks man, much appreciated! I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max review coming next.

@@johnstech7 I can’t wait to see that video. I will be waiting!! I work at apple! So I everything is apple to me lol

I used to work there a few years ago too!

Yes, the iPad can play it without freezing in Resolve, FCP, iMovie or LumaFusion! I’d steer you towards a M1/M2 MacBook Air instead though! They have the same CPU but a full desktop OS instead of iPadOS.

@johnstech7 Thanks for the information! I'm considering either the ipad Pro or the M1 or M2, depending on the price. Have you tried playing Sony 4:22 4k 10 bit in the XVAC HS or XVAC SI formats on the ipad Pro? Those are the file formats I typically use.

Of course! I only use XAVC HS (H.265) which is more compressed. The S-I codec would be even easier to play back since it is not as compressed. Let me know if you have any other questions!

@@johnstech7 Thanks. I am trying to find a computer that will play the different Sony 4k 10 bit formats. I tried on my dell Inspiron AIO 7720 and on my Samsung Tab S8 ultra and neither can play the Sony 10 bit. It plays back choppy and freezes. Not sure if there is a way to get it to play on my computer or if I need to get an Apple instead.

Honestly surprised the S8 Ultra is not able to play the H.265 video. Apple is the way for you though unless you’re looking to build a PC with a GPU!

Thanks for your feedback! 🤝🏾
