[828.88 --> 836.86] You know, I was worried about this kind of thing because in days past you had to route things and reflash bootloaders and that kind of stuff. |
[836.86 --> 845.54] And I read a long time ago that warranty claims were refused if people had done modifications like this to these ad-supported devices. |
[845.72 --> 847.36] Is that still the case now? |
[848.04 --> 857.36] So the nice thing about the toolbox that we were just talking about from XDA, that's not messing with like the system restore partition on your Fire tablet. |
[857.54 --> 861.26] So you could go in there and like lobotomize the Amazon stuff out of the image. |
[861.66 --> 866.50] And then if you needed to, reset it to factory defaults and it just restores it to a stock Fire tablet. |
[866.50 --> 869.74] So your warranty is good if you just did that before you sent it in. |
[870.10 --> 870.62] Yeah, that makes sense. |
[870.72 --> 871.96] I mean, it's just software, isn't it? |
[872.08 --> 878.38] I mean, unless there's like an intrusion detection in the firmware, I don't see how they'd ever know. |
[878.68 --> 880.08] Well, yeah, they could do that, I suppose. |
[880.16 --> 881.10] But thankfully they're not. |
[881.56 --> 885.60] But that's where wall panel is kind of this nice starting point. |
[885.80 --> 888.98] And you could just start with that for these on-wall dashboard. |
[889.30 --> 895.64] This is, I think, such a great way to make home automation more accessible to your family is a visual way for them to control things. |
[895.64 --> 899.96] And with the Home Assistant dashboard setup, you could make something really appealing to people. |
[900.08 --> 902.22] And it renders really great on a 10-inch tablet. |
[903.18 --> 907.72] And wall panel has an option to turn on by default when the tablet boot. |
[907.80 --> 913.78] So it kind of just launches immediately and kind of papers over all that Amazon stuff. |
[914.02 --> 918.00] And it really gets you like 90% of the way there super quick. |
[918.60 --> 919.50] What's the last 10%? |
[919.98 --> 922.26] I think the last 10% would be replacing the OS. |
[922.26 --> 925.02] You know, because then you could put something a little more modern on there. |
[925.48 --> 930.74] Because Amazon's Fire Android OS space is often behind mainline Android. |
[931.24 --> 931.38] Well, yeah. |
[931.44 --> 941.26] I mean, I saw today just in the JB Telegram chat that people were talking about the, I think it's like a 12-year-old Kindle is getting internet access revoked or something by Amazon. |
[942.22 --> 943.76] Turning it into e-waste, essentially. |
[944.34 --> 945.44] You know, that's a tricky one. |
[945.68 --> 947.48] The cellular networks eventually get shut down. |
[947.58 --> 950.04] I think that's things like on the 3G network or something, right? |
[950.04 --> 951.94] Because it's pretty old, I mean. |
[952.38 --> 953.92] Yeah, eventually they got to shut down the network. |
[953.92 --> 963.52] But it really kind of does make you think, like, if you want something to last a really, really long time, you've got to look at ways of self-hosting it. |
[964.16 --> 967.76] And maybe some devices just aren't the right fit. |
[967.88 --> 972.52] Although you could argue 12 years is a pretty good value proposition when you consider new Kindles are like $100. |
[972.84 --> 974.60] Like, back then those Kindles were not that cheap. |
[974.86 --> 976.14] But new Kindles are a lot cheaper. |
[976.94 --> 977.48] Well, very good. |
[977.48 --> 986.40] I think next time there's a Black Friday sale or some kind of Amazon invented Prime Day thing, I might pick up a Fire tablet and just give that a go. |
[986.92 --> 991.80] The one that I flashed with Lineage a little while ago has been doing perfect duty, actually, |
[991.90 --> 1002.14] as we've been using one of the Wyze Cam V3s with that Lineage OS 7-inch Fire tablet from half a decade plus ago as our baby monitor. |
[1002.14 --> 1003.90] And it's been working brilliantly well. |
[1004.20 --> 1009.10] So you can breathe new life into old dogs with this stuff. |
[1009.76 --> 1019.20] As part of the episode 50 festivities, I wanted to complete a project that I've been kind of working on in the evenings, off and on over the last six months or so, |
[1019.26 --> 1022.74] which was a searchable archive of our show notes. |
[1022.74 --> 1048.54] And huge thanks goes out to the orange one from Discord, who rewrote, I think, something like all but three lines of my code to scrape the fireside website and ingest the HTML and the XML feeds and spit out what eventually turns out to be an MKDocs-based searchable archive of the entire Jupyter b... |
[1048.54 --> 1053.48] That's so great. And, you know, I feel like he kept those three lines of code in there just to be nice to you. |
[1053.68 --> 1061.60] But it's so quick and snappy, and it makes it really quick to find stuff that eventually this is going to get integrated into the site itself. |
[1061.74 --> 1068.02] But for right now, it's just a great way to, like, I know we talked about something. When did we talk about it? Like, it's good for that kind of stuff. |
[1068.02 --> 1072.26] I can't tell you how many times a week I get pinged with, when did you talk about X? |
[1072.26 --> 1079.04] Or when did you, you know, great example is the lineage flashing of the seven-inch fire tablet. |
[1079.32 --> 1086.86] As we were talking just then, I just typed into the search bar, lineage OS, and boom, up came episode 44 of Self Hosted. |
[1087.76 --> 1090.20] There we go. Job done. So it's already working for me. |
[1090.20 --> 1094.62] Now, you can find this thing at notes.jupiterbroadcasting.com. |
[1094.90 --> 1103.70] We've got Coda Radio, Jupyter Extras, Linux Action News, Linux Unplugged, and, of course, this here self-hosted podcast. |
[1104.48 --> 1108.58] All right. Well, this is the self-hosted show, so you've got to tell us a little bit about how you set it up and what's running. |
[1109.06 --> 1113.96] Well, one of the coolest things that Orange managed to do was dynamic theming between a different show. |
[1114.06 --> 1118.24] So I don't know if you're on the site right now, but if you click between the different shows, |
[1118.24 --> 1122.66] you'll notice the top header changes, so self-hosted is Orange, Coda Radio. |
[1123.16 --> 1125.16] I do like that. Yeah, that's so cool. |
[1125.42 --> 1126.72] Linux Action News is Red. |
[1128.52 --> 1134.34] It's all backed by MKDocs, and he's done a bit of dynamic CSS switching between the different tabs, which is pretty cool. |
[1134.98 --> 1140.34] But what we're doing is we scrape all of the show information that's on Fireside, |
[1140.40 --> 1146.16] and we use Fireside as our podcasting publishing platform, and we use that as a source of truth. |
[1146.16 --> 1156.58] And this Python script then takes that scraped data, uses what's called a Ginger2 template to substitute things like the tags in there, |
[1156.66 --> 1163.92] the hosts, any of the links that we put in the episodes, that kind of thing, and it spits out a plain markdown file. |
[1164.98 --> 1171.20] MKDocs then ingests that plain markdown file, and bada-bing, bada-boom, we have an MKDocs site. |
[1171.44 --> 1172.08] Very nice. |
[1172.08 --> 1177.54] But we are relying on a small element of non-self-hosted software. |
[1177.70 --> 1183.52] We're using GitHub Actions, and we're running it through a con job, so at 5 or 6 a.m. every day, |
[1183.64 --> 1185.56] it just goes and scrapes the JB site. |
[1185.74 --> 1189.38] So you'll see that these show notes are getting automatically updated. |
[1189.58 --> 1194.06] This website gets automatically updated every day, so it's never out of date. |
[1194.06 --> 1198.16] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[1198.24 --> 1202.42] Go there to get $100 in 60-day credit towards a new account, and you go there to support the show. |
[1202.50 --> 1205.46] So that's Linode.com slash SSH. |
[1205.82 --> 1209.92] And yeah, of course, notes.jupiterbroadcasting.com is running on Linode. |
[1210.04 --> 1214.30] Everything we build that we want the audience to be able to use, we host that on Linode, |
[1214.38 --> 1216.42] because their infrastructure is killer. |
[1216.96 --> 1218.42] And the price is great, too. |
[1218.42 --> 1227.20] In fact, Linode is 30% to 50% less than the other big hyperscalers out there, and they've been around since 2003 doing this. |
[1227.32 --> 1236.34] So for 18 years, they have remained focused on building out the greatest cloud that you could possibly ever want as a Linux geek. |
[1236.42 --> 1238.00] I mean, it's like a playground. |
[1238.42 --> 1242.88] I go up there, and sometimes when I just want to try out a couple of different projects for talking about on the show, |
[1242.98 --> 1246.70] like, how do you know if something is worth proceeding with? |
[1246.70 --> 1249.54] Like, this is true for you when you're building out something like you have a project. |
[1249.62 --> 1251.72] Like, how do you know if this is the stack you want to use? |
[1252.92 --> 1257.70] Well, I deploy it on Linode, often with some of their one-click deployments, and I'll test it out, |
[1257.82 --> 1260.44] and I'll run it for a couple of days and see how it works. |
[1260.68 --> 1266.30] And often, I keep one out of two or three things, and that eventually turns into a show. |
[1266.38 --> 1268.78] And then we create a project around it, and we end up putting it in production. |
[1269.04 --> 1272.22] And the entire time, from beginning to end, we're doing it all with Linode, |
[1272.22 --> 1277.40] because they just make it simple, it's affordable, and it's easy to work with the team, too. |
[1277.60 --> 1282.84] And then on top of that, they have a really handy API that you can either use directly yourself, |
[1282.92 --> 1288.20] chromatically, or do like I do and just kind of take the lazy route and use their command line client. |
[1288.80 --> 1293.06] So I'll do this to, like, pop a file up on their S3-compatible object storage, |
[1293.36 --> 1297.40] and I can mark it public and generate the URL in, like, three or four seconds. |
[1297.40 --> 1300.64] And this is awesome when we're trying to get clips ready for a show or something like that, |
[1300.68 --> 1305.82] or we're collaborating on a project, or recently I sent a big batch of files to somebody, |
[1305.86 --> 1309.00] and we were going back and forth, like, how are we going to even share this file? |
