[1910.68 --> 1916.22] Little Arduino compatible single board systems that have a Wi-Fi chip in them. |
[1916.22 --> 1921.90] You can use them for all kinds of things like sensors or controllers, little MQTT devices. |
[1922.34 --> 1930.30] And now it's sort of a perfect fit, as you can imagine, with home assistant because that's a lot of things you'd want to do with a home assistant installation. |
[1930.66 --> 1933.74] And so they've rolled out version 1.19.0. |
[1934.36 --> 1944.52] And I think the biggest thing in here is they've added a feature that's very similar to commercial smart plugs where you can give it your Wi-Fi information over Bluetooth LE and give it the Wi-Fi credentials. |
[1944.64 --> 1945.38] That's a huge feature. |
[1945.38 --> 1946.00] That's slick. |
[1946.10 --> 1948.92] Yeah, I remember Paulus telling us about that a couple of weeks ago. |
[1949.30 --> 1951.00] It's nice to see it actually land in a release. |
[1951.64 --> 1960.60] Now, another improvement they've made is that they've been working hard on some new tooling to make it easier for everyone to install ESP Home and other firmwares on their devices. |
[1961.32 --> 1966.48] And to do that, they've created something called ESP Web Tools linked in the show notes. |
[1966.90 --> 1971.74] Yeah, that's nice to see and going to make it even simpler for people to approach. |
[1971.74 --> 1972.48] But don't worry. |
[1973.08 --> 1975.62] They're also improving the command line experience. |
[1975.62 --> 1978.52] So both got some love, which is great to see. |
[1978.52 --> 1987.16] And then the other thing that I think puts this into now I'm very much going to consider devices based on this is – and this is something I've been waiting for desperately. |
[1987.16 --> 1994.20] They're going to add attributes from Home Assistant now that you're going to be able to save them into the local sensor on ESP Home. |
[1994.20 --> 2002.16] So, for example, the brightness of a light, so when the light turns on, it resumes the original brightness or the current temperature for a climate device. |
[2002.28 --> 2004.56] So that way it doesn't have to keep checking in with Home Assistant all the time. |
[2004.80 --> 2010.30] To be able to read attributes from Home Assistant entities right into the local sensor, I feel like, is a game-changing feature. |
[2010.60 --> 2012.26] For them, it's just a bullet point in the new release. |
[2012.98 --> 2014.28] And I'm like, yes! |
[2014.64 --> 2015.60] I'm so happy. |
[2015.80 --> 2020.14] I've got this like Jonah Hill kind of I'm-so-happy gif playing right now. |
[2020.22 --> 2020.48] Yes. |
[2020.90 --> 2021.22] Right. |
[2021.32 --> 2021.68] Exactly. |
[2021.68 --> 2023.14] I think that's pretty great. |
[2023.32 --> 2026.84] So a new ESP Home makes me happy. |
[2027.24 --> 2031.56] Now, in the spirit of embedded devices, Tasmota has a new release this week. |
[2031.74 --> 2034.14] They've just released 9.5.0. |
[2034.62 --> 2042.68] Now, there is a breaking change in this release, and lights using the MQTT Discovery Protocol will not work correctly in recent versions of Home Assistant. |
[2043.56 --> 2049.32] So upgrade to 9.5 and use the Tasmota integration to work around that problem. |
[2049.32 --> 2060.74] We want to thank our friends over at Cloud Guru for sponsoring this year's program and let you know about their hands-on with Podman containers on Linux course, which is free for the month of June. |
[2061.18 --> 2063.88] And, of course, they'll still be available for members when you go over there. |
[2064.14 --> 2067.42] This course, you're going to learn what containers are, so you're going to get some basics there. |
[2067.42 --> 2074.42] But also then how to manage them and specifically how to manage them using Podman, how Podman interoperates with Kubernetes and Systemd. |
[2074.84 --> 2084.34] And, of course, because it's the new way now, how to manage Podman using Cockpit, which is the web graphical interface that I actually think is pretty great. |
[2084.44 --> 2085.56] But don't mention it to Alex. |
[2085.64 --> 2086.40] It upsets him. |
[2086.40 --> 2087.04] But you can go over there. |
[2087.08 --> 2088.14] We'll have a link in the show notes. |
[2089.04 --> 2094.42] And you can check out Hands-On with Podman containers on Linux for a Cloud Guru, which is free in June. |
[2094.48 --> 2096.00] But then, of course, will be available on the platform. |
[2096.36 --> 2097.44] Link in the show notes. |
[2099.88 --> 2101.38] Probably time we need some feedback, eh? |
[2102.06 --> 2103.18] Yeah, I think so. |
[2103.32 --> 2104.08] I feel like it. |
[2104.48 --> 2105.26] Corey wrote in. |
[2105.82 --> 2108.58] He wants to get social, but he wants to do it without social media. |
[2108.58 --> 2112.20] He says, hey, long-time listener and even long-timer self-hoster. |
[2112.48 --> 2113.18] I love the show. |
[2113.18 --> 2119.60] And he says, with more and more things going online only, in-person interactions are getting to be more sparse. |
[2120.14 --> 2129.86] I found lately I need to put conscious effort into keeping up with friends and family, checking in from time to time, and or even taking notes about something they've mentioned to follow up on. |
[2130.70 --> 2131.04] Wow. |
[2131.44 --> 2132.10] You know what, Corey? |
[2132.72 --> 2134.92] I'm just realizing I should be doing that. |
[2135.74 --> 2140.44] He says, Corey goes on to say, I was curious if anyone had a tech solution for this. |
[2140.44 --> 2146.10] Some sort of, like, contact management thing where you could make notes about a project or a vacation they mentioned. |
[2146.26 --> 2153.30] So you could ask them about it later on or even set reminders like, hey, self, you haven't talked to X in four weeks. |
[2153.44 --> 2159.16] Maybe check in on them or maybe some sort of reminder about their vacation and asking them how it went. |
[2159.68 --> 2165.90] Perhaps it sounds a bit dumb, but I think I could put it to use, especially after college or school when friends kind of go their own way. |
[2166.26 --> 2167.80] So is there something out there? |
[2167.86 --> 2168.62] What would you guys do? |
[2168.90 --> 2169.20] Thanks. |
[2169.20 --> 2177.92] Well, at first I thought the question was about social media, and I kind of had a sinking feeling that self-hosting your own social media kind of defeats the point of social media. |
[2178.46 --> 2187.12] And then as the question carried on, I sort of was listening and realized that actually what he's looking for is basically a customer relationship management system. |
[2187.90 --> 2194.40] And there is a really good one in this space, in the self-hosted space called Monica, monicahq.com. |
[2194.40 --> 2208.62] And this essentially lets you set reminders for all sorts of things, like the names of the children of all of your friends, wedding anniversaries, the last time you called them and talked to them about the weather or whatever it might be. |
[2209.44 --> 2216.08] Monica lets you quickly and easily log all that information so you can be a better friend, family member or spouse. |
[2216.08 --> 2219.16] I kind of think this is a great idea, actually. |
[2219.54 --> 2225.08] Or I could see it, you know, for like keeping track of what you guys have going on, you know, for the JBT members. |
[2225.18 --> 2229.44] So that way I'm not like rude and just forgetting the important things that you guys have going on. |
[2229.68 --> 2233.02] You know, like this could make me a better team member. |
[2233.36 --> 2233.86] Well, good news. |
[2233.96 --> 2236.30] They have an official Docker image over at Docker Hub. |
[2236.52 --> 2237.32] I might give it a look. |
[2237.40 --> 2239.30] If I remember after the show, I might give it a try. |
[2239.30 --> 2242.14] Yeah, essentially it's a digital Rolodex. |
[2242.50 --> 2244.28] Yeah, I think that should be pretty useful. |
[2244.64 --> 2252.66] OK, so the Hom writes in and this is about cooling Raspberry Pis in your famous RV server seat without cutting big holes in it. |
[2253.24 --> 2260.48] He's got a couple of suggestions about using water cooling, actually, to cool the air inside the box rather than the Pis themselves. |
[2260.84 --> 2261.10] Hmm. |
[2261.76 --> 2265.16] Yeah, I had not even considered water cooling a Raspberry Pi before. |
[2265.88 --> 2268.64] That'd actually be a pretty cool project, wouldn't it? |
[2268.64 --> 2270.10] So how would that work? |
[2270.14 --> 2275.24] If you think about it, you'd put a radiator inside the seat that would act as a heat sink? |
[2275.56 --> 2275.84] I suppose. |
[2276.16 --> 2280.24] Because the thing about water cooling rigs that I always, I mean, I've never done water cooling in my life. |
[2280.28 --> 2284.72] I've always wanted to, but it's always just been that notch more expensive than I'm willing to go. |
[2285.38 --> 2285.54] Yeah. |
[2286.28 --> 2296.26] Whenever I see like Linus Tech Tips or whoever mucking about water cooling, they've got these big, shiny copper heat sinks directly attached to the motherboard or whatever, to the CPU. |
[2296.26 --> 2303.12] How would you transfer the heat from the seat to the radiator, I guess, is the question. |
[2303.52 --> 2304.30] That is a good question. |
[2304.30 --> 2307.46] I think the way you'd have to do it is you'd have to get something that sits on the Pi. |
[2307.58 --> 2313.38] So I'd have to get rid of my flirt cases that I like and get something that affixes to the hot components on the Pi. |
[2313.58 --> 2316.92] Affix it to the flirt cases because they are a heat sink themselves, right? |
[2316.92 --> 2318.48] Maybe, maybe, maybe. |
[2319.00 --> 2322.10] You'd want, I'd also want like a plate that I could attach to a router. |
[2322.28 --> 2324.36] You know, you'd want a couple of different or maybe something for the switch. |
