[2545.16 --> 2546.16] But would always be the next part of our world. |
[2546.18 --> 2547.06] The answer is to reach out more questions that we do with us. |
[2547.08 --> 2547.70] But whether we have some questions in their own włas及opsis because |

[0.00 --> 1.54] I'm not sure what it is about you today, Alex. |
[1.58 --> 3.00] You just kind of have a glow about you. |
[3.00 --> 7.22] This episode of Self-Hosted is brought to you by the sun. |
[8.22 --> 10.14] Solar-powered podcasting. |
[10.18 --> 11.22] That is awesome. |
[11.34 --> 11.72] Yeah, man. |
[12.10 --> 12.40] Wow. |
[12.64 --> 18.30] Yeah, and you've got quite the solar setup, I mean, compared to the one that I have on my RV roof, which is a lot smaller. |
[18.90 --> 20.36] You've got a lot more roof to work with. |
[20.38 --> 22.64] I don't have a need to drive it down the road, do I? |
[22.74 --> 25.52] So, yeah, I've gone for an eight kilowatt solar system on my roof. |
[25.96 --> 26.46] That's great. |
[26.56 --> 29.78] And so it actually means, like, legitimately, it's running everything. |
[29.78 --> 44.62] On a day like today in the middle of June, when the sun is beating down real hard all day, I can actually run both my AC units, all my servers, the fridges, the TVs, everything, 100% on solar for about two hours. |
[45.28 --> 50.94] And I know something that's on your mind is, like, eventually putting some sort of battery solution in there. |
[51.36 --> 53.08] There's, of course, reasonable solutions. |
[53.08 --> 61.48] But if you could just Star Trek Q style, snap your fingers and have a battery solution materialize out of thin air, what would be your ideal setup? |
[61.94 --> 63.64] You know how I like to make stuff. |
[63.64 --> 70.98] I've been watching videos of this guy called, I think, is it Jerry Garcia or something like that on YouTube for years. |
[71.32 --> 77.78] And he builds his own batteries, power walls, out of old electric car batteries. |
[78.60 --> 78.72] Yeah. |
[78.80 --> 79.50] That's what I want to do. |
[80.00 --> 80.16] Yeah. |
[80.16 --> 86.86] I just think that'd be the coolest thing in the world because cars need a very high peak voltage to accelerate the mass of the vehicle. |
[87.40 --> 91.66] Whereas a house is a much more constant, much less peaky load than that. |
[91.72 --> 98.42] So you can get away with old, air quotes, dead car batteries that are actually suitable for houses. |
[98.42 --> 102.44] You know what I didn't even appreciate earlier is that you had your air conditioning going. |
[102.70 --> 109.44] Two units as well because I live in one of these crazy big American houses that has a unit per story. |
[110.90 --> 112.12] That's so cool, though. |
[112.20 --> 117.08] I mean, you're, like, not even hitting, like, the power grid to run air conditioning. |
[117.38 --> 118.50] That's awesome. |
[118.62 --> 118.76] Yeah. |
[119.28 --> 124.94] At one point today, the solar was reporting 6.4 kilowatts of power. |
[125.16 --> 127.26] So 6,400 watts, I suppose. |
[127.26 --> 130.72] I dream one day of building a big array. |
