[967.08 --> 967.86] You've got to be kidding me.
[967.92 --> 968.12] Really?
[968.52 --> 968.76] Yeah.
[968.98 --> 969.40] No.
[969.60 --> 975.20] I want storage prices to be going down right now because I have a big plan to buy a lot of disk around November.
[975.98 --> 976.70] Dang it.
[976.70 --> 981.40] So, you know, yeah, you're a big shucker for those of you who don't know the term.
[981.80 --> 987.96] You get a USB enclosure hard drive and you shuck that enclosure and you get the disk out of it.
[988.04 --> 988.90] You know, it's like a coconut.
[989.42 --> 991.68] You get the husk off and you pull out the coconut.
[992.36 --> 997.12] And sometimes it's delicious and sometimes it's not so good.
[997.40 --> 999.14] Well, sometimes it isn't so good.
[999.18 --> 1003.42] Actually, this week, I've had two hard drives sale on me this week.
[1003.50 --> 1005.24] Both shucked Seagates.
[1005.44 --> 1006.38] Oh, no, man.
[1006.38 --> 1012.40] I've got a bunch of older Western digital drives that are approaching three years old.
[1013.16 --> 1022.74] And so what I wanted to start doing was buying a disk every quarter, give or take, to start kind of staggering their dates so that the bathtub curve, I don't fall victim to that.
[1022.74 --> 1032.92] Which is, you know, if everything's the same age with the same environmental life conditions, the chances that they're going to fail all at the same time is reasonably high.
[1033.00 --> 1036.30] So I wanted to try and protect myself from that a little bit.
[1036.30 --> 1039.50] And so I bought a couple of these Seagate drives earlier in the year.
[1039.60 --> 1040.84] I think I talked about it on the show.
[1041.42 --> 1056.92] And both of these Seagate 10 terabyte, what are they, Barracuda Pros, have both just decided this week, at exactly the same time, despite my burn-in tests and everything else, that this week was the week they were going to give up the ghost.
[1057.62 --> 1058.04] Oh, man.
[1058.04 --> 1059.24] I'm so sorry to hear that.
[1060.04 --> 1061.64] Nobody ever wants to deal with that.
[1061.72 --> 1062.68] Any data loss happen?
[1062.94 --> 1063.94] No, no data loss.
[1063.94 --> 1067.10] One of the drives was being used in ZFS and the other one was on MergerFS.
[1067.46 --> 1071.10] So SnapBread did its thing perfectly and so did ZFS.
[1071.42 --> 1072.58] So we're all good, baby.
[1074.70 --> 1076.78] Linode.com slash SSH.
[1076.84 --> 1079.54] Go there to get $100 in credit and support the show.
[1079.68 --> 1084.96] No matter what skill level you're at or what technology stack you use, Linode can help your ideas come to life on the web.
[1085.32 --> 1086.32] You're going to be impressed.
[1086.58 --> 1089.58] And when you get that $100, you can really try it out.
[1089.72 --> 1092.40] Alex, I don't think I told you yet, but I set up FileRun.
[1092.40 --> 1094.72] You recommended it to us on Linux Unplugged.
[1094.94 --> 1095.48] Oh, good.
[1095.82 --> 1096.16] Yeah.
[1096.40 --> 1096.54] Yeah.
[1096.58 --> 1102.34] I set up a Linode a couple of – well, it's been about a week now for the Elementary Development Summit.
[1102.70 --> 1107.22] And they're using FileRun to upload all of their videos and stuff for the summit.
[1107.98 --> 1114.26] We were going to do a NextCloud instance, but just FileRun seemed to make so much more sense, a lot more straightforward for the presenters too.
[1114.66 --> 1115.40] Way simpler.
[1115.40 --> 1117.32] And it was really easy.
[1117.50 --> 1125.20] I've told the story before, but it actually got – I got it all set up using Linode's one-click Docker deployment, which is – in my case, I chose Debian, but you got a couple options there.
[1125.62 --> 1130.56] Debian, Docker Basic setup with Docker Compose pre-installed and all of the right repos set up.
[1130.56 --> 1140.14] And so I deploy that, and then I just grab the Docker Compose from the project for FileRun and had it up and running before the DNS had switched over for the website.
[1140.76 --> 1142.76] And it was just like a no-brainer.
[1142.90 --> 1145.22] And then later on, of course, Wes.
[1145.22 --> 1146.34] Wes is always like, you know what we could do?
[1147.06 --> 1155.42] We could mount the S3 object storage and then use that for the storage for FileRun so we don't have to worry about them filling up the disk.
[1155.42 --> 1157.56] And I'm like, of course, I'm on board with that.
[1157.78 --> 1160.24] I love stacking those Linode services together.
[1160.68 --> 1162.80] Their dashboard makes us really simple and straightforward.
[1162.96 --> 1165.12] You can use their cloud firewall to protect your system.
[1165.44 --> 1167.44] Then you can deploy a Linode to run your application.
[1167.76 --> 1174.00] And then you can use object storage on the back end to essentially have addressable storage that expands as you need it.
[1174.26 --> 1178.04] Now, there's a lot of ways to crack that, and if any of that sounds complicated, don't worry.
[1178.12 --> 1183.38] It's also really simple to just get started with a standard box, really easy with just a couple of clicks.
[1183.38 --> 1186.84] It's a great opportunity to learn with that $100 credit as well.
[1187.14 --> 1190.22] They have this powerful system with this simple interface.
[1190.74 --> 1195.38] So many people make that claim, but it's actually extremely hard to get that balance right.
[1195.64 --> 1200.46] And the reason why Linode gets it right is because they've been attempting this since 2003.
[1200.94 --> 1204.94] And through just working at this and listening to their customers and building it,
[1205.10 --> 1211.20] just focused on delivering the best virtualized cloud computing and having that focus since 2003,
[1211.20 --> 1214.98] they've gotten to this point where they have this marvelous system now.
[1214.98 --> 1219.60] So go use our $100 credit at linode.com slash SSH to try it out.
[1219.96 --> 1221.92] And yeah, the performance is fantastic too.
[1222.20 --> 1223.34] We love getting your stories.
[1223.48 --> 1225.24] So let us know how your switch to Linode has gone.
[1225.62 --> 1227.70] Linode.com slash SSH.
[1227.70 --> 1232.32] Now I'm reluctant to even bring this up, to be honest with you,
[1232.38 --> 1239.24] because the open source community is well known for over-egging the pudding when it comes to drama.
[1240.02 --> 1245.04] But the more I dug into this story, the more I felt like it was worth the discussion on the show.
[1245.04 --> 1252.60] So this week, Home Assistant developer Frank, you've probably seen his name everywhere over Home Assistant.
[1252.74 --> 1258.38] He is a prolific contributor to the project, spelled F-R-E-N-C-K.
[1258.90 --> 1267.24] He jumped into a NixOS GitHub pull request and made what seems on the face of it like a really simple request.
[1267.24 --> 1274.48] He says, as the author of the package, I'm asking it to not be repackaged here.
[1275.44 --> 1276.64] Sounds straightforward enough, right?
[1277.32 --> 1277.72] I suppose.
[1277.98 --> 1282.84] I mean, it's MIT licensed, so he doesn't really have the authority to make that request.
[1283.10 --> 1284.08] Well, that's just it, isn't it?
[1284.28 --> 1284.50] Yeah.
[1284.58 --> 1286.94] I mean, there's the spirit of the developer's intention.
[1287.48 --> 1291.18] And then there's the letter of the law, which says that NixOS,
[1291.18 --> 1300.90] which is a Linux distribution that's very technical, very niche, and very awesome if you're into declared systems that are kind of just super, super niche.
[1301.42 --> 1306.60] NixOS is great, but it is a Linux distribution just like Ubuntu or Debian.
[1306.84 --> 1308.70] They package these things up into their own repos.
[1309.22 --> 1313.62] Well, here's the thing as well, right, is that NixOS is all about reproducible builds.
[1314.12 --> 1320.96] But for some reason, Fedora felt the need to package this ambi Python library as well.
[1321.42 --> 1330.16] And as the thread transpired on GitHub, Frank started to get a little more petulant, dare I say, as time went by.
[1330.46 --> 1336.26] You know, he started off by saying, I have no emotional investment, no emotional attachment to this issue.
[1336.88 --> 1343.90] And then a few posts later, this is, this, by the way, has moved out of GitHub onto the Home Assistant forum by this point.
[1343.90 --> 1352.80] He goes from saying, I've got no emotional attachment to saying, sorry to hear you don't respect requests from authors who wrote the source you rely on,
[1353.16 --> 1356.16] the author that has put in the effort to create it in the first place.
[1356.58 --> 1358.66] Always good to know a project doesn't care.
[1359.52 --> 1360.90] I mean, come on.
[1360.90 --> 1366.60] In my opinion, I would characterize a lot of his responses as short and somewhat hostile and snippy.
[1367.30 --> 1373.94] People ask him, like, they come back with very reasonable counter suggestions and proposals that are well thought out.
