In the previous chapter I talked about servers and I remind you that we had four options. The first option was to use a virtual machine on your own computer. You can do it with Windows or Linus, because they have virtual machines for these operating systems. Also with Mac, but although it is the best option to start, if you don' t have anything else, remember what was the biggest drawback of consumption. Apart from using this computer for other
needs you could also use an old computer. This would be the second option. It' s an old computer that you have stored in your house or that you have in the storage room. That' s right, make it very old, other than the old four eight six. In this case you have to install Windows or Linux. We could also use Max if it' s a MAC, but it' s normal for you to use either Witdows
or Linus. The third option would be to use a ras Barry asks that yes, you will have to pragar with gold ingots, because today there is a great shortage. In this case you can only use Linus and, more specifically, only install the Rasberry diastro. Piye or it' s good. There are other distributions, but I recommend that if you have Berry ras, use this operating system. Finally, the fourth option was my favorite, which is to use a mini PC, which is just a computer. Chiquitín,
Chiquitín, Chiquitín. So, you' re going to be able to use Windows or Linus. It doesn' t matter the operating system, but then which one of them to use Windows or Linus, because this is what I ' m going to talk about in this chapter, although everything points out that it should be Linus and then you' ll see why I say it. But I want to clarify something, something very important. Be an expert. The Linus is a tough fucking dot. However, then I will give you
a trick that does not fail and that I myself have applied. Now you ' ll see what I' m talking about, welcome to the podcast technology, where I' m talking about arthul and not home automation programming and everything related to the maker movement. My name is Luis del Valle. You can find me in my virtual home programming easy as well, before you get us into seeing why you should use Linus and not Windows and talk to you about that trick that doesn' t fail, let me tell you about an attentive
computer crack. The year was two thousand and sixteen and apart from Donald Trump winning the elections in the United States, something much more amusing happened. It all happens after a call between David Tienley, an external computer office that works for Siemmens Pennsylvania, more or less. The call was like that to a
recreation that I have in my head. Hey David, that your program has failed again when you can come to fix it, because I get squeaky vacations in Miami and that the self- employed also have the right to rest. No, no, David, this can' t wait. Without your program we can' t manage any orders and we need to fix this mess. Right now. Well, well, calm down. I take my computer password
and try to fix it. It is asterisk asterisk asteriskism ok David, thank you very much, enjoy the well- deserved vacation and this would have been a normal conversation between a vacation consultant and his client. If it weren' t, how he ended up with David sentenced to six months in prison and seven five hundred dollars in a fine. What happened now I tell you because you' ll see this guy David was a smartass. It turns out that
he had developed software to manage Siemens Pensylvania orders. Let' s go the
normal things consultants do. What is no longer so normal is what put it inside the code, because the pearl had programmed a logical bomb, that is, a mistake that jumps on purpose every certain interval of time and you know who was the only one who knew how to solve it equiliqua David and so he was living from the story more than ten years until in that phone call he made a serious mistake to share his password and the non- foolish Siemens
entered the code and discovered the fucking crack cake. I' m not saying what David did is okay. It' s not that. What I' m saying is that it' s really cool when you' re the only one in the job who knows how to solve the order program error. You ' re the only one who knows the WiFi password, or you' re the only one who gets your hands on the home automation server. Because you see, in the center of any free home automation system there has to be
a home automation controller. How it can be jomasist or anyone else. This software has to be installed on a server, which has to have an operating system and what is the operating system? Most used in the world asks easy,
not Windows. But the answer may not be so simple, because even though Windows dominates the personal computer sector with a market share of more than eighty - two percent, followed by today, it is X with twelve percent and Linus with one comma forty- six percent, the reality is quite different, because if we include all kinds of servers here, like web servers on cloud
platforms, the percentage varies a lot. According to the double three tech dot ub, as 80 percent of computers around the world use Linus and only 19 percent use Windows. What this is about is that there is a stream of geeks with penguin t- shirts trying to dominate the computer world, because the truth is all this has a very simple explanation and is that Linus servers are
so popular because of their stability, security and flexibility. Stability refers to that they may be connected or turned on 100 percent of the time, even when applying updates by by, to having to restart and wait thirty minutes for the system to be updated. With regard to security, there is no more secure system than Linux, thanks to which it implements a wide variety of mechanisms to
protect files, services and users. And the flexibility is given by its open source character, that is, that it has no commercial licenses and that you can use it for free in multitude of architecture. Come on, you' re gonna be able to install it even in your coffee machine. In addition, there are different Linus distributions and different configurations. You can install Linus with a desktop or if you are one of the brave ones, without the graphical
user interface. Apart from everything, this is a simple way to have a reliable home automation server in your own home. How to see that my rock doesn' t get upset, because this has a trick. I mean, a lot of people, when they hear Linus' s word, disconnect their brains and plug him into TV while they open up a bag of doritos. But let me tell you one thing, come closer, because it' s best that no one hears it closer to starting using Linus in your home automation
system. You don' t have to be an expert. But in the eyes of others you' re going to look like it and the trick is to do a David, but without having to go to jail or pay a lot to see how I explain it to you. Linus is an operating system like Windows or Mac, but with its own moves. The big difference is
that it' s not that popular. But, as we' ve seen, that most used operating system in the world because every day, when you surf the Internet, when you' re seeing as com Holmark, whether you want it or not, you' re using a server with a lirus.
And this is the reason why when you meet someone who uses Linus you think fucking Friki and the same thing has less knowledge thanneymas Eye that I understand the situation and I know what happens, because it' s normal to freak out with so many commands, with the terminal the sweat and the mother who bore him. That' s why I understand that you get archolepsy just thinking that
you have to install Linus in your home automation system. But seriously, you don' t need to be an expert, you don' t need to wear a penguin shirt or pasta glasses, because you don' t need to know Linus' eight hundred zero commands. Meeting a handful of them is enough. Moreover, I could tell you that I usually use ten or twelve commands, and all thanks to using a tool in my adomotic system called DOCKE. Another day I' ll talk about this tool. Therefore, we must lose
the fear of Hinus. Currently, the installation of this home automation system is the same as installing a windows on a computer. If you are going to do it, I recommend that you use a distribution that comes to the hair that is called ubun. Your testop is so simple that even I have been able to install it myself and then, once you have it installed to practice, because, as I told you, you will only need twelve commands,
especially at the beginning. Then, when you become familiar with the terminal you will go and use more and more command. But basically you can sum up that in the end you' re going to use between ten and twelve commands, which are the ones that I usually use daily on my home automation server with Linus, and there' s no more. And look at you today I' m generous if you want to know what command only I use.
Sign up for the mailing list in program easy com and send them to you, but try to have a stable, safe and flexible domotic server without using Linus is like the one who has all and scratches his balls is what there is and so far today' s program, as I always tell you, we don' t listen to you next week don' t miss the appointment and remember be happy
