[81.80 --> 84.32] And it takes a while when you're doing them only twice a month.
[84.64 --> 85.56] It's been a long haul.
[85.56 --> 87.12] Yeah, 50, huh?
[87.46 --> 91.06] It means, what, nearly two years of doing this with you.
[91.50 --> 96.18] And to celebrate, we've actually got some merch available for the first time.
[97.96 --> 100.94] This really was all really driven by Alex.
[101.00 --> 102.06] He wanted to see this done.
[102.74 --> 103.90] Of course, I wanted to see it too.
[104.12 --> 108.62] But Alex really took the lead and made sure we got something special for you guys for episode 50.
[109.02 --> 111.54] We have it up at jupitergarage.com.
[111.54 --> 118.32] We've got a couple of special shirts, a Chris and the Badger shirt and a self-hosted logo shirt, if you'd like that.
[118.44 --> 127.42] And we also have a couple exclusive stickers, a self-hosted square sticker, and of course, a Chris and the Badger sticker, which would look great on your machine, I got to say.
[127.82 --> 128.70] Yeah, I think it would too.
[128.70 --> 135.88] I mean, I think it was when Drew, who's our editor, sent me a little electronics project full of parts.
[135.88 --> 140.78] And it said, to the Badger on the corner, I was like, we need to lean into this a bit more, don't we?
[140.82 --> 142.10] Yeah, we are leaning into it.
[142.42 --> 144.96] I think with episode 50, we're just like, we're doing it.
[145.36 --> 146.00] We're doing it.
[146.00 --> 148.80] And it's because, you know, people kind of came together and helped us make it special.
[149.54 --> 151.54] So that's up there right now.
[151.54 --> 158.70] And if you are a self-hosted SRE, one of our members, then check out the post show and check out your member feed.
[158.78 --> 163.60] We will have a special promo code for you to take a little bit off the gear.
[163.76 --> 165.94] But it's all actually at a really great price right now.
[166.00 --> 171.04] We're basically running it pretty close to cost as it is because we just wanted to have something special out there for episode 50.
[171.40 --> 174.26] So all of it is up at jupitergarage.com.
[174.26 --> 181.22] And if I could just take a moment to interject and just say a huge thank you personally to all of you for listening to all these episodes.
[181.54 --> 192.50] It's a real privilege to do this show with you, Chris, but also be able to present to the audience that we have who engage on Discord so well and on Twitter and all that kind of stuff as well.
[192.58 --> 195.90] So it's been a huge privilege for me and a big, big thank you.
[196.42 --> 201.18] And we want to say thank you to a cloud guru, the leader in learning for the cloud, Linux and other modern tech skills.
[201.18 --> 203.84] They have hundreds of courses and thousands of hands-on labs.
[204.26 --> 208.66] So go get certified, get hired and get learning at a cloudguru.com.
[209.22 --> 213.60] Well, I'd imagine that you're still rebuilding from the great flood of a few weeks ago.
[213.70 --> 214.26] How's that going?
[214.70 --> 217.12] It is indeed an ongoing process, Alex.
[217.66 --> 219.10] We'll just say that, I guess.
[219.52 --> 225.04] I actually did pick up a couple of quick tips that I'll share in a bit in the show from this entire experience.
[225.04 --> 228.00] And so I guess there's a bit of a silver lining there to it.
[228.32 --> 229.90] But I haven't replaced everything.
[230.26 --> 233.28] I have successfully saved a couple of items.
[233.44 --> 234.42] So that's awesome.
[235.06 --> 238.84] But for the most part, I'd say like 90% of everything was a loss.
[239.44 --> 240.12] Oh, damn.
[240.64 --> 241.82] I mean, I hope you had insurance.
[242.24 --> 244.10] Well, some of it's just old gear, you know.
[244.10 --> 246.74] Some of it's just old stuff like chargers and whatnot.
[246.88 --> 249.12] I suppose I could probably try to do the insurance thing.
[249.86 --> 254.28] I have a box in the attic full of old English for some reason.
[254.62 --> 255.90] They made it across the channel.
[256.44 --> 256.84] Channel?
[257.16 --> 257.52] Ocean.
[258.04 --> 260.06] I have a box full of English power adapters.
[260.34 --> 262.66] And so they're the sort of things that just hang around forever.
[262.66 --> 267.94] So maybe it's a good thing that you douse them all with, you know, 17 gallons worth of water.
[268.58 --> 270.96] And I do need to kind of like change up my charging situation.
[271.08 --> 279.78] See, what I got going in this area is a charging station, you could say, for all of the kids' iPads and switches and controllers.
[280.28 --> 290.44] And so this whole situation has actually inspired the wife and I to cap the water pipes at that area, remove the faucet completely.
[290.44 --> 299.54] And then after we get back on the impending Denver road trip, we're going to build a shelving system in there where the kids can slide their devices into shelves and they'll have power cords pre-run.
[299.90 --> 305.98] So the whole incident's actually inspired us to really kind of up our game instead of just having like this loose area where we stash stuff near a sink.
[307.46 --> 310.08] But it just took the disaster to kick our butts into gear, I guess.
[310.26 --> 317.58] You know, one of these days I might convince you to get a 3D printer and custom print the right size inserts for the devices.
[317.58 --> 328.40] And there's been a couple of fixes and a couple of projects for this road trip a couple of times now, because this is one of the bigger trips, because we're going to be on the road for probably about 40 days straight.
[328.58 --> 335.68] If you think about that in terms of just wear and tear on a vehicle and the house box that is running on top of that vehicle, that's a lot.
[335.78 --> 338.36] And so there's been a lot of things we're doing to prepare for it.
[338.36 --> 346.16] And I've thought a couple of times, a few things I'm replacing, like trying to get a magnet on my door so that lines up with the sensor and trying to just position that magnet just right.
[346.62 --> 351.64] If I could have built a little 3D housing for that to just position it where I needed it, it would have been job done.
[352.44 --> 353.26] It's on my mind.
[353.64 --> 354.28] It may happen.
[354.64 --> 356.40] You have a few options of cheap 3D printers.
[356.64 --> 359.06] I mean, there's a Prusa one that's the Prusa Mini.
[359.16 --> 360.82] It's about 400 bucks delivered.
[361.82 --> 363.10] Ender makes some.
[363.26 --> 364.42] Creality makes some as well.
[364.42 --> 368.18] But I had bad experiences with the Chineseian printers.
[368.86 --> 371.90] And personally, I'm a huge fanboy of Prusa because they open source everything.
[372.30 --> 378.10] And nine times out of ten, the print just works, which is what I'm in 3D printing for.
[378.20 --> 382.34] I'm not really in it to tinker and 3D print new parts for my printer.
[382.44 --> 383.94] I want to print cool stuff, you know.
[384.48 --> 388.62] I just figured I'd wait for you to upgrade your current rig and then I'd buy this one off you used.
[389.74 --> 390.98] That does tend to happen.
[392.00 --> 392.64] Yeah, yeah.
[392.68 --> 393.14] We'll see.
[393.14 --> 393.76] We'll see.
[393.76 --> 395.78] But we will be in Denver soon.
[395.86 --> 396.52] We're going to have a meetup.
[396.60 --> 398.72] Alex is going to be there running trivia night.
[399.00 --> 401.62] So go to meetup.com slash Jupiter Broadcasting.
[401.82 --> 405.60] I think it's August 20th, a Friday that we're going to be in Denver doing the meetup.
[405.82 --> 407.70] There's also a meetup coming up in Salt Lake City.
[407.94 --> 408.96] Just only I will be there.
[409.06 --> 410.36] Alex won't be making it to that one.
[410.64 --> 413.24] But details for that are at meetup.com slash Jupiter Broadcasting.
[413.78 --> 415.80] It's going to be weird getting on a plane, I'll tell you that.
[416.28 --> 418.24] How long of a flight is it to Denver for you guys?
[418.66 --> 420.60] About three or four hours, I think.
[420.60 --> 424.88] It really is just the perfect midpoint between you and me, isn't it?
[425.02 --> 426.66] It's like right there smack dab in the middle.
[426.98 --> 428.80] Yeah, it's either that or the middle of Arkansas.
[430.46 --> 436.80] Most of the crew is flying out with the exception of myself, of course, my wife and Brent.
[437.64 --> 446.52] Brent, you know, from Brunch with Brent is flying into Seattle and then he is going to caravan out with the family and I in Lady Joops.
[446.52 --> 448.30] Oh, I'm so jealous.
