Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. Today I wanted to talk to you about SSH and what I’ve been doing with it, man, I bet you’re excited already, I have been working on my MacBook in the Unix terminal. And I’ve been trying to figure out what SSH does. So it kind of understood, I’ve seen some apps for it before on the App Store, which I’ll get to in a second. And now I finally know what they’re for shoot. But I couldn’t do anything with I didn’t know what was going on. I don’t know why it was useful or necessary. But But now I kind of get it, I’m starting to understand some of the cool administrative tools that you can sort of work with around SSH. But SSH is sort of the Secure Shell system, I guess, what was the other one town that was at the the non encrypted version of it. But it was this version of logging into a host, as a client was a Unix host. Like you can still do this with servers, like your web server, if you have a website, or even Bluehost, I tried to sell Bluehost, you can SSH into Bluehost. And like look at the files in your Unix terminal on Bluehost. You can log in as a client and then view that if you have credentials and access it’s really interesting, I can do it, but I guess it was set up a long time ago. It’s amazing this kind of tools and power you can have with it, I guess you can do something like similar to a VPN where you can get like private traffic, you like you can make your network traffic private by making it appear as though it’s like on or behind a router. So it’s kind of interesting, you can do that. But I think it’s like something like SSH tunneling, where if I were out at a coffee shop or something, I could SSH into my home computer, and then access the internet from that Secure Shell point. Like through my home internet. So it appears though the internet traffic was being routed through my home and then to me, and then it would be encrypted along that path. So the intermediary let’s say like a coffee shop wouldn’t know anything about it. super interesting. I’ve kind of have VPNs work to just trying to figure out some of this networking stuff. If you guys know about it, shoot me a message or something explain it to me, I have no idea what I’m talking about. You can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think you can look at Billy Newman under the authors section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism, camping and cool stuff over there. And it’s kind of it’s kind of fun, I like doing that sort of stuff I like to kind of poke around I want to get out there with the what is the saying that the metal detector that’s I want to get out there with I think that’d be kind of cool. As hearing there’s a number of different things you can do with the metal detector and it’s pretty fun most of the time. In the spots that I’ve been out the only thing I’ve found so far is like casings from, you know, ejected bullets that have been fired out of a rifle over in Eastern Oregon whenever, I guess when someone else had been out there hunting or doing some shooting or whatever it is. And then I’ve kind of come along through a camp and found some, some old shells and stuff laid out in the in the dirt over there in between the sagebrush. But that’s about the most that I’ve ever found is like a cool thing that I want to go out to the coast, see if I can find something fun and cool that’s washed up onto the shore. I had some family that lived that over on the coast for a long time. And you know, when they kind of go out to the coast do their walks and stuff. I think when you have more access to the coast, you just out there more and they’ve kind of find some cool stuff that would wash up over the years, I think they’d found like some things that seemed like they were off some Asian fishing boat or some little buoys that would come in or little like crab fishing things that would wash in from our boats or from other boats and stuff and it’d be really cool. It’d be fun to kind of find some stuff out on the beach. I think it’ll be fun.

4:09
I was looking at a couple other things that I thought would be kind of neat since it’s Christmas coming up soon and since my birthday just passed, there’s a few, a few kind of like everyday carry things that I was looking into and some of the brands that are sort of around that are what would kind of be a cool one to pick up but I’ve been looking into a few different pieces. One of them was pocket knives. I carry a pocket knife with me most of the time. I think before I talked about the Gerber Gator that I carry around I think it’s a about a four inch blade. It’s a little bit more than a four inch handle. It’s sort of a full size grip in the hand. I guess what I’m saying there is is it extends open to about eight and a half inches or so handle and blade as it’s open and then it’s got the locking back which I like a lot more than kind of that finger release that you press sort of on the inside of the blade to kind of I push a little bit of metal out of the way so that the blade can kind of fold back and collapse in on itself. I don’t really prefer those and I kind of fat at least like the cheaper blades that I picked up that were like that to start to fail over time where that that little metal springiness to it, that sort of pushes in place, starts to kind of wear off or bend out a little bit. And then after a while, it wouldn’t really lock in place, it would lock back enough to be there. But then as soon as I put any pressure on, it would fold back in on itself and come toward my hand and my fingers and stuff less cotton so that it happened, I think a couple more with a couple knives that had that were like that a few times. So now, when I’m getting a folding pocket knife, I really try and avoid that style of it, there are a bunch of them that are like that, and there are a bunch of them that are really pretty cool. And I bet if you buy a higher end brand, or you know like a better built knife, then you’d probably have better luck with it. But really, I prefer the back that locks on it. So I kind of, I don’t know, maybe three quarters down toward the bottom of the handle, there’s going to be like a little metal bit that you’d press your thumb into. And that kind of pulls that part of the Tang of the knife lifts a locking release in the blade and then you’re able to swing the hinge of the blade shot to collapse it, fold it and then put it back in your pocket. I like that kind of style a lot more than than this other type that I was talking about. But when I was looking around, that’s what that’s what I tried to pick up with the Gerber Gator that I had and I like the Gerber knives. I’ve had a couple variants of that style before. I like to kind of rubberized handle. And I like the price too. It’s like 29 bucks, I think you can get them. I don’t know maybe like on the more expensive end for like 40 bucks. But these these Gerber gators the full size and I think there’s a mini they’re pretty good.

6:53
Kind of mid range, usable folding kind of pocket nice that you’d have. And I really like it a lot more than some of like the Kershaw’s stuff that I’ve had that sort of at that lower end price point that’s like below $20. I’ve had those for about six months or so and then some of the, some of the tech screws start to unwind on me and then all of a sudden I’ve got, I’ve got a knife that’s in like four different pieces, washers and bits and stuff kind of all over. And that’s happened a couple times with those, those sort of assembled knives to try and find some stuff that’s like got a certain type of construction on it that keeps it a little tighter together. The hex screws are pretty well on the higher end pieces. Those really do hold together really well over time and they don’t have to be dismantled or reassembled. But on some of those less expensive knives, unless you’re doing some kind of more regular tool maintenance to keep those bolts tight, they do start to kind of work themselves out on you and the steel the blade I haven’t even gotten to that the steel blade changes like all the time or bondo it doesn’t change all the time. But there’s a ton of different variations of quality knife steel that goes into these, these folding pocket knives, their full tang pocket knives, but I was kind of looking into that a bit like I guess like what used to be the standard for hard knife steel back 30 years ago isn’t anywhere near the same as it is now now there’s a whole bunch of different variations of things that give you different benefits or, or drawbacks I guess it’s like, there’s like steel, but then there’s steel that you add chrome into or that you add a certain amount of nickel into or they add a certain amount of carbon into and these different variants that are added into the metal give the the Steel’s and different properties and that gives the edge the blade you know the way that the sharpening that blade reacts to different forces that makes it react differently. So some types of steel are more brittle, but they so they like crack if you start axing with it or but that makes them like hard I guess. And so that gives you like a stronger edge retention so you can keep that edge sharp for a long time. But if it’s a really durable type of steel, then maybe it’s got a softness to it. And so if you start doing a lot of extended cutting with that sharp blade, it’ll go dark on you faster and you’ll have to re sharpen the blade and then it’ll lose its sharpness maybe a little faster. But then there’s also blades that will rust if they get wet. So if you got a blade that’s really sharp and stays really sharp, but rust quickly when it gets wet at all and that’s like a pretty difficult knife to have around to and so people kind of choose a nice for different things. I guess it’s like boat knives or there’s there’s a certain type of steel that’s used for people that are doing a lot of stuff on the ocean like when they’re exposed to a lot of salt water. They use it it’s not. Is it like an H one steel. That doesn’t sound quite right but there’s a certain type of steel that they have. That’s the will not rust. But it’s like really hard and holds like a really strong edge. And then there’s a whole bunch of different variations of hard Steel’s, you know, like Steel’s to have like some stronger amount or I guess, tougher resistance to whatever elements are going to be exposed to so that the Gerber Gator that I have that’s a that’s D two steel I guess you can look these Steel’s that they’re going to be probably more informative some some chart online I’ll probably be more informative than the my breakdown of stuff but they’ll kind of get into the chemical compounds of what makes these Steel’s different and what makes the the knife blade better or worse for the function that you’re going for. But really there is like a tear of not really quite good enough for most things and then where people a knife collectors are kind of trying to pick into for like higher quality knives and i think it’s it’s a good litmus test for how high quality your knife is so there’s there’s some good Steel’s that make inexpensive knives so I think like for like Victorinox Swiss Army Knife you’re looking at like a 316 steel which I think now is like a pretty low grade kind of kind of steel even for a lot of buck knives I think it’s like the four four sixteenths or something like there Yeah, it’s a little more for I think for Letterman’s to it’s sort of in that area. Then I think if you get into the the essay or rat three knives you’re looking at 1095 steel which I think is like a higher carbon steel.

11:30
I think you get like D two steel like this Gerber Gator is that sort of in the same zone. There’s also this other stuff this I think Chinese made Steel’s, that are I think it’s like seven car I got a knife around here somewhere. But it’s a seven car then there’s eight car and nine car and it’s got like a couple other letters after it too but I think the first couple is like a seven and eight or nine I mean it’s kind of to the degree that it is good, let’s say for this or it’s like tough steel or whatever it is. But I think seven is sort of the lower grade kind of average grade knife blade steel, a is pretty good in comparison to a lot of stuff and nine is sort of more of a premium and inexpensive steel option made by the Chinese manufacturers so I have a couple knives that are made with that. There’s also another steel called us eight. I found that around a number of times and I think that’s in some higher end higher end knife blade pieces to also use by some higher end knife manufacturers. I think with some stuff from benchmade and some stuff from Spyderco I’ve seen in the OS eight. Let me pull it out here I was actually kind of thinking about Spyderco and benchmade and the Columbia River knife and tool. Let’s see what are those Columbia River knife and tool benchmade there’s another one I’m trying to think of. It’s a it’s a port that’s like an Oregon based knife company. I didn’t know that. I didn’t realize there were so many Oregon based knife companies up around this area but then then there’s also Spyderco that’s another knife manufacturer that I was I was looking at I think there’s a Japanese but I picked up a Spyderco knife recently. Those are a lot more expensive than they are kind of like a lot of the average run of the mill pocket knife so you’d probably pick up in a lot of store or you know like a lot of more basic supermarket style source. I don’t know why you did a hunting knife at the supermarket but NASA was a hunting app it really just like useful folding knives that are good pocket knife tools. But I picked up the Spyderco knife and I definitely noticed the differences some of the quality of it. Just kind of the way that the construction is the sharpness of the blade the way that it works and this is I think Vg 10 steel on the blade and then it’s got some sort of like what polycarbonate nylon handle Wow, whatever that is you know, but the handle works really well that I was also looking at G 10 which is another handle material that I see listed out there on the number of knives and that seems to be sort of one of the higher end knife handle options I see that on like the higher end. Columbia River knife and tool m 16 knives and I see that as an option for the nicer like benchmade knives I was looking at some benchmade knives like the griptilian I think that has a G 10 handle option. Also the benchmade bug out I was looking into that knife and that I think as a G 10 handle too but I think that kind of provides sort of a kind of a powdery grip. Almost to it. I think it’s Another kind of composite material, but it’s got a good grip on it so that you can still kind of maintain a handle, even into this sort of wet or slippery conditions. Another knife I had used my carta on the handle, which is I think, layered. I tried to do this before my on my own, and I’ve seen someone make it themselves before too, but I think it’s, it’s like layered, and then sanded down fiberglass, and linen, or fiberglass and denim, or like resin and denim or something like that. But I seen people kind of like layer, they’re like soak, they kind of penetrate, just like you take like a bunch of like little sheets

15:48
of say, like linen in this case, but something kind of with like a fashion texture. But you take a bunch of sheets of this and then you penetrate that with fiberglass resin and then lay that down and then add another layer of it, lay that down on that another layer and lay that down. And then you clamp all that together and then let it cure that makes this kind of like real compressed brick of the stacked pieces of fabric that are kind of interlaced together with each other. And then they’re now fused together and kind of frozen in place with this, this fiberglass resin is to like sort of this sort of solid block. And then we were able to do a saw right through that. And then you have this kind of solid and grippable sandable material that you can kind of scrape down and shape into whatever kind of size or shape piece you want. So I have some scales to a full tang pocket knife over here that has micarta handles. And I think it’s kind of a cool handle type it works well for, for some of the stuff. But there’s also like a lot of other options out there or it’s that’s something that I thought about it when I got it and sort of what I think about like the G 10 handle stuff too is that there’s just like a lot of handle options out there. And that’s kind of the tricky thing, too is like, like I look around it. I don’t know how to get into it really but like I look around to like bushcrafting videos, you know, I might have talked about this before even or I’ve had the thoughts before to about I like bushcraft, or like kind of the idea of a lot of like outdoorsmen ship stuff and a lot of like outdoors. Travel and use the landscape and I think kind of have an understanding of that is really cool. But the bushcrafting stuff sort of has some little twists or like sort of limitations to it that I think sometimes make it a little a little goofy, but part of the idea is you have like a big knife almost close to a machete that you use for everything from buttoning down to inch thick trees to I guess like just building a trap to hunt small animals to to just straight hunting or combat or whatever it is, but supposed to be this kind of all purpose wilderness tool. Those are cool knives. And I do have a couple of those in that size range. I like the four inch size probably most, a lot of the time. But for a lot of cool stuff. It’s like the five inch knife, like a five inch full tang knife is really cool if you’re going to try and do some of that stuff. But really at that point, or kind of my thinking rat is like it’s almost to all purpose of a tool that you’re trying to apply a knife to, you know, like, you don’t really need maybe to always do that sort of stuff with a knife. Now it’s cool when you understand how to use a knife. And then you can really build out stuff while you’re in the woods or while you’re in the back country that you didn’t have to bring in with you. So that is a cool kind of survival mechanism was not even survivalists, but just when you’re in the woods, there’s a way that you can build out a lot of stuff that you would maybe think that you would need to bring with you just kind of a lot of like structural stuff that you can kind of set up or make some makeshift elements with if you know how to do some simple things with a knife and I’ve heard of a of like these practice this practice systems called the try sticks. You’ve probably looked that up like a bushcraft try stick or something like that, but it’s just bushcraft skills thing where you go through with a twig, you know, like kind of a two foot long stick that’s about an inch and a half in diameter. And then you try out a bunch of these different cut maneuvers on it so you can have like a flat cut a scooped cut, sort of like a pointed carve or to make like a dividend something and make you know just like all these different little pieces that you kind of go through and do. And I guess there’s like some little system of those that you can use those pieces on a stick as different tools to make, you know different different things. Who knows what the I’ve seen like snowshoes made. I’ve seen tables made I’ve seen like fire pit cooking kitchens made. I seen a few different pieces and stuff. So it’s kind of interesting to see what people can kind of throw together really a lot of the time I think what it was used for As a plan is what you see expressed by the bush crafters, is you got a big knife, and then you whacked down a chunk of a tree, you make a stand to hold a pot over a fire, to purify your water. And then you make sort of an A frame to throw your tarp over so that you have your dry shelter. Now, I think both of those are really one of the least effective

20:31
means of providing that thing in the outdoors. So like, you know, I, I don’t know how to really say it now. But it’s like, it’s good to know how to start a fire. And it’s good to know how to stay out in the wilderness if you only have a tarp. Also, it’s good to bring a tent and a sleeping bag. And it’s good to bring a jet boil, and some fuel and a lighter. And those two things really like cut down on the amount of weird sort of dangers you’d have from exposure, or risk of bad water, or whatever it is. So a lot of the time, when I’m thinking about trying to do some outdoor stuff, it’s had to like cut down on a lot of the extra work or the extra danger of some of those risks that you would have to sort of put yourself out into if you’re trying to drink unpurified water through a sort of haphazardly made heavy can over a fire pit for an hour or two or whatever it is, or staying under a tarp when you have way better and less expensive survival gear or you know 10, hunting camping gear backpacking gear available to you. So I think that those are kind of the options to sort of steer into. So that kind of brings me to what what is a knife, and what do you do with a knife. And so for bushcrafting, you’re supposed to build everything that you would go camping with, and I kind of think well maybe that’s not really what I use a knife for, or what a lot of people use a knife for and I’ve seen it kind of kind of more clearly express it like your knife or like a you could have a couple different knives but it’s cool to have a knife that’s really just for cutting and kind of keeping it as sort of as a more sacred discipline to keep that knife sharp, so that they can really do an effective job cutting, cutting into flash, if you need to do some hunting stuff, or cutting ropes or cutting parts of whatever you’re trying to put together out in the outdoors, whatever it is. So I think that’s kind of like some of the interesting stuff about about doing some knife preparation stuff and there’s a lot to get into a sharpening and different sharpening stones and some some thoughts that I have about some sharpeners and sharpening stuff that I want to get into too but I don’t know that kind of my wrap it up there for for this part of the podcast. And I’ll probably come back in with a part two things to do with your pocket knife that that are useful when you’re doing some outdoor stuff and I guess I can bring it around the photo stuff to kind of like what I’m saying is when I’m traveling light and I’m outside in sort of more of my normal circumstances like a two and a half to three inch folding pocket knife really gets by in almost every circumstance that I’ve needed and I really don’t need that big of a knife I really just need a small amount of that blade or you know I need a small blade to be really sharp. But I think with that you can be really effective like with a scalpel, you know, you can go through and do like a lot of significant and proper work with just a scalpel. And it doesn’t necessarily mean that a bigger or more broad or more thick blade is going to be a superior tool to just really the active cutting and slicing or the active like trying to chop into something that you’re you’re trying to do with a pocket knife when you’re carrying around out in the woods with you.

24:27
Yesterday I took off on a drive and went up the Mackenzie River and I’m trying to go up to a few spots and then develop more photographs just from that location. Or you know try and try and work on some stuff there. And it was good though it was cool to get a couple of minutes to try and work on some longer photographs. Really nothing stellar from that location. But part of what I’m noticing is you really need more. More times in your life when you’re up to bat or when you’re there when you’re at the place when you’re at a day of work. All that kind of to say the same thing, but when you’re apart dissipating when you’re out and doing it, and I’m trying to develop that more where, where it’s just, oh, I was out taking photos four times today instead of one time, you know, this week or something. So I think it’s just the, the, your personal ability to cultivate those situations where you get to take photographs, that’s almost really what it seems to be to work as a photographer is to cultivate the next time, you’re going to be able to take photographs, and to try and cultivate that in a rapid succession so that you compound that and, and really make efficiency or an efficient use of your time. But I think about that a lot, it was cool going up yesterday, I was working with the Sony a seminar stuff as much as I could, and I was trying to work on some long exposure stuff sort of mapping or matching the, like the river and the rocks of the shore, or some of the stuff on the far end of the leg that was kind of cool to, to sort of work with a little bit but, but I try and I’m trying to work on a few of those a little slower tripod shots, let’s say, but some photographs where you’re kind of getting into a situation that’s a landscape and you’re trying to be just a little bit more patient and try out a couple different options and then you know, wait for the light to come in a little better. And that’s a that’s a few more of the techniques in the fine art photography side that that I really like. But I don’t really get to express or get into as much especially in the product photo side or the event photo side that I end up working in most of the time. So it’s cool though, I mean, I’ve been pretty happy trying to get out and do some photo stuff. And it was really nice getting out and trying to put some stuff together for myself but I don’t know what’s good kind of working some of those ideas out I’m trying to take more photos of myself too. I noticed that as I go back through my library I just completed trying to cut down a lot of the photos over the last like 10 or 15 years or so into a collection and maybe some of the best and some of the best versions of the file itself to it seems almost like a silly idea. But what ends up happening is you you end up losing over time the best RAW file that you have that image if you’re not careful, right like if you edit the image or you resize the image for the you know, that’s the version that ends up going on social media a lot of the times is an image that’s smaller than three megabytes. And a lot of the time three megabytes is really going to be a downsize compressed a JPEG image that I put together and over time what I’ve noticed is that a few of these pieces that are maybe some of my favorite photographs the the version available that I can find right now that’s this JPEG version. So I’m trying to go through and clean that stuff up and it seems like I’ve done a good bit of the start of that but the next part really is produce it’s really get out and try and be in places to make photographs that are new for the year of 2018 I need to be producing the files and then getting that work product out I need to be able to you know, finish it, edit it and publish it in a way that’s that’s effective you know if I’m going to bother to say that I’m a media creator or I’m a photographer, any of that stuff so so it’s been good kind of getting out there’s the McKenzie river drive there’s been a couple other deals like out to the Deschutes river I’ll get into that on a podcast some stuff out on the coast that was cool some stuff up near the the tulip farm in Woodburn, all that stuff’s starting to come together. And I have a few ideas for the rest of April to that might involve that. But on the other news, I think I’m dropping Hootsuite, I’ve been working with Hootsuite for a couple years. And I don’t really feel like I’m getting the value out of it that I need. It’s costly actually is a big part of it. It’s like a monthly bill, it’s probably more than Netflix is a month but but what I need to do is kind of transition over to what other other ideas that are out there for scheduling posts on some of these platforms. And I think that’s what I’ll be able to do in a pretty effective way is try and put a little bit more time into these platforms specifically to schedule out these posts for a business page or for whatever it is, but I think I can do that within Facebook uniquely. And I think I can do that from a few of these other platforms too. And I just don’t use enough of the other features associated with Hootsuite to really interact with my social demographic that much. I use like the platform most of the time to do that. But Hootsuite

29:18
mechanism I used to try and publish to multiple places at once. And maybe now maybe a couple years later, there’s some alternatives or some competitors that that offer some of the features that I was looking for when I first got into the Hootsuite pattern of stuff so it was cool to try for a while but really what I noticed overarching Lee is that it really they haven’t regenerated a lot of their interface. And so a lot of the things that were glitchy and buggy problems. years ago when I started using it, they’re still the same kind of glitchy buggy problems and really, it’s you know, it’s it’s the location of the problem is always in the upload module, which is really the only thing I use for the service. I just got smart and I decided to quit that and jump ship and go to some other service there’s a few there’s a free option Hootsuite maybe I’ll continue to use that that that services three social media accounts is what it shows there’s probably some other limitation to it and I know there’s another service called buffer that I had used in the past and I think I might check them out again and see if there’s an opportunity to to use that interface to do some buffer stuff here on out but yeah, if anybody is super curious that’s how I sneak in some of the photos stuff that I try and put up on social media across the board trying to make it a little easier on myself I have all these photos and I’m trying to organize them and then write captions for them in bulk and then put them up online if I can. But yeah, so it’s gone Okay, you know, it’s a it’s always kind of a process trying to get some of the media stuff together. And really, like I was talking about outside of media and YouTube channels and other things like that what I’m really trying to focus on in 2018 is photographs, am I making photographs Am I getting to places to make photographs so my wrapped out in these other side responsibilities that really aren’t going to compound and benefit me when it comes back to my main goal here so I don’t want to dilute myself in places where you know, I just can’t really be my best. There’s like an amount of diminishing return this seems to happen. So I’ve kind of thought about that a little bit, but, but the need to make content and to make stuff and to produce I mean, that’s, you know, that’s what media creation is.
