Tipsy Tech Talk

Here at Tipsy Tech Talk, we combine two things that are around everyone: Tech and Booze! We take a little bit of time out of our week to explore different kinds of technologies, different kinds of booze, and different ways of mixing both together. We're looking to bring a little bit of fun to the technical and a little bit of technical to the fun.

    S1E18 - ABCs of Bourbon (Season Finale, Feat. Sonia Murphy)

    We've been bouncing around it for 17 episodes and now it is time to really dig deep! We're breaking down bourbon with all the classic terms and fancy know-it-at-trivia definitions.What is the difference between bourbon and whiskey? Why call it single barrel or small batch? What makes a small distillery stand out from the big guys? What is bottled-in-bond and how does everyone (seriously, everyone) actually agree with a government mandate?We explore all of this, and more, with our dear friend Sonia Murphy. Make sure you check her out.Instagram: sonia_42211Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artagedneatWebsite: https://www.artagedneat.com/

    S1E17 - Distiller's Delight

    We're name dropping this episode! We've been dropping plenty of hints at our location, but this week we're announcing the name of the Tavern that we've been recording at. Why are we dropping this info this week? Boyd's Tavern and Red Brick Inn were the hosts of the Red Brick Run and Craft Beer and Bourbon Festival, with much of the proceeds going towards the Friends of the Land Between the Lakes. This is a cause that many believe in and we're glad to do a small part in supporting them, so they can in turn support the LBL area and keep it a wonderful part of nature for all of us to enjoy. We also decided this was the perfect opportunity to pick the minds and learn more about some of the craft distilleries of Kentucky. And with those conversations, obviously came some wonderful tastings! We couldn't get around to everyone this go around, but we were able to get around to several. Who knows, maybe one day we'll go on another field trip to check these places out!

    S1E16 - Abstraction Attraction

    This week we had the pleasure of going on our first field trip! We went over to Abstraction Spirits in Paducah, KY and visited with Patrick, who gave us a tour of the facility.We get to see some of the tech that happens behind the scenes, from the still to the bottling line. That being said, some of the coolest parts of the process are the manual actions that they do, without the need for too many fancy gadgets.Abstraction believes in creating pieces of art with every barrel. They have literal artwork that they have found for their labels and gallery, but they also have the art that is in the bottles themselves. We were highly impressed by everything we sampled and we know you will be too!Abstraction Spirits can be found at 407 Jefferson St, Paducah, KY 42001. Stop in and say hello, grab a drink, and find an experience.https://www.abstractionspirits.com/

    S1E15 - Comfort Tech, Comfort Drinks

    Put on your hoodie, grab your cuddle buddy, and find a good seat with a good drink: It's time to get comfortable! Comfort means a lot of things to a lot of people, but we jump into the psychology behind tech that makes us comfortable. With part one, we break out the Hot Toddies to talk about tech that makes us physically comfortable. Think of things that "bio-hack" your body into a comfortable state, like a Hot Toddy does in winter months. Part two is all about passive comfort, that technostalgia we get when using our "old reliable" tech. And because we are who we are, we're bringing out our old reliable drink: an Old Fashioned. To wrap it all up in part three, we have to explore the tech that gives us a Peace of Mind kind of comfort. What better way to do that than with a cocktail that Joey is calling Still Waters? Hot Toddy 2 oz Bourbon or Rye Whiskey .5 oz Lemon Juice .5 oz Honey Hot Water Old Fashioned Come on, you know this one by now! If not, go watch S1E1. Still Waters 2 oz Bourbon .5 oz Honey .25 oz Fresh Lemon Juice 2-3 Dashes Aromatic Bitters 1-2 Fresh Sage Leaves

    S1E14 - Tech for Booze and Parties

    Life is nothing, if not a party. We're bringing the party to you with some awesome (and some questionable) tech that you can use in your home bar. Whether you're looking for an automatic cocktail maker or a new sound system for your home, we're talking all kinds of examples of tech that you'll want to save your birthday money for. And because a party isn't complete without drinks, we're breaking out the beer and wine...but we're using them party style: Raspberry Beer Punch 6 oz Beer (Light Lager) .5 oz Vodka 1 oz Raspberry Liqueur 1 oz Sour Mix .5 oz Simple Syrup White Sangria 3.5 oz White Wine (Pinot Grigio) 1 oz Pineapple Juice 1 oz Orange Juice .5 oz Peach Liqueur Red Sangria 3.5 oz Red Wine (Merlot) .5 oz Cherry Liqueur 1 oz Orange Juice 1 oz Cranberry Juice

    S1E13 - Sweet 16 Oz Pounder

    It's that time of year again where you have broken out the pencils and scribbled in your best guesses, your lucky feelings, your gut instincts, and your this-makes-no-sense-but-I'm-doing-it-anyways upsets. You've got that bracket filled out and by this point you have either given up on winning, you're glad you got half your games right, or you are getting really anxious about maybe (just maybe) winning that jackpot between you and your friends. We're busting that bracket this week and talking about technology both inside the stadium on the court and technology that is used outside of the crowded stands. And what better way to celebrate the journey to and from the Sweet 16 than by drinking 16-oz beers?!

    S1E12 - Shaken, Not Stirred

    This week we're honoring the Academy Awards by discussing movie cocktails and in-home media servers! We start with 007's favorite drink (shaken, not stirred) and talk hardware and software options for how to have your very own media server inside your house. From there we bring in Scarface's Cuba Libre to assist us in actually building a media server out of an old machine that we bring back to life with Linux. Interested in doing something similar at home? Here's how we did it! Follow along with the video to see the step by step instructions, but here's a lot of the commands for you to paste into your CLI. Be sure to read them prior to pasting to confirm there isn't a specific variable or detail you need to change for your machine. To see your new IP address: ip addr show To run updates: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade -y Go to another computer in your home and ssh into the Linux box for the rest of this. To SSH: ssh username@ipaddress (change these variables accordingly) Install Docker Pre-reqs: sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release Add Docker's GPG Key: sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg Set up Repository (There should be a Angled Bracket [Shift + .] after docker.list): echo \ "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list (angled bracket, see above) /dev/null Install Docker: sudo apt update sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin Add user to docker group: sudo usermod -aG docker $USER Verify Docker: docker --version Create home for Plex: mkdir -p ~/docker/plex/config mkdir -p ~/media/movies mkdir -p ~/media/tv Create YAML File: nano ~/docker/plex/docker-compose.yml YAML File: services: plex: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest container_name: plex network_mode: host environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Etc/UTC # Change to your timezone, e.g., America/New_York - VERSION=docker volumes: - ~/docker/plex/config:/config - ~/media/tv:/tv - ~/media/movies:/movies restart: unless-stopped Launch Server: cd ~/docker/plex docker compose up -d Claim Server in Web Browser: http://IPAddress:32400/web Set permissions: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/media Install Cockpit: sudo apt update sudo apt install -y cockpit Enable Cockpit: sudo systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket Confirm Cockpit access in Web Browser: https://IPAddress:9090 Keep PC from Going to sleep: sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target Create Volume for Portainer: docker volume create portainer_dataRun Container:docker run -d \ -p 8000:8000 \ -p 9443:9443 \ --name portainer \ --restart=always \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ -v portainer_data:/data \ portainer/portainer-ce:latest Access Portainer via Web Browser: https://IPAddress:9443 Add Tailscale VPN: curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh Bring Tailscale Connection Up: sudo tailscale up Find Tailscale IP address: tailscale ip -4 Install Samba on Linux server: sudo apt update sudo apt install samba -y Create Samba User: sudo smbpasswd -a (insert user name here) Setup Plex Group Permissions: sudo groupadd plex sudo usermod -aG plex (Insert username here) sudo chown -R (insert username here):plex ~/media/movies sudo chmod -R 775 ~/media/movies Configure Share: sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf Paste block into bottom: [Movies] path = /home/joseph/media/movies read only = no browsable = yes guest ok = no Start Service: sudo systemctl restart smbd And there you go!

    S1E11 - Networking Deep Dive

    If last week was the nuts and bolts of networking, this week we're discussing thread count and screw pitch. We're diving into the deep end of how networking actually works. First, we're going to tackle IP addresses and subnetting. And to help with the complexity, we're going simple with a nice Kentucky Mule. Bring that copper cup! Next we're going to be talking ports and protocols (what are those things anyway?) and we're getting really simple. How much simpler can you get than bourbon, neat? Lastly, we're addressing (see what I did there...) server-client architecture. And since we talked about CIDR early on, we're drinking cider to finish this thing out! Sometimes complexity's best match is simplicity. *AI Note: This episode contains pictures that were generated by Gemini AI.
