[1008.68 --> 1011.46] So we're sitting on 400 meg cable internet right now. |
[1012.02 --> 1012.16] Nice. |
[1012.30 --> 1013.10] Yeah, that's a treat. |
[1013.42 --> 1013.56] Yeah. |
[1013.56 --> 1019.48] Yeah, the one nice thing about this spot we are in Tucson right now is we have pretty dang good signal. |
[1019.64 --> 1023.56] It's not like that good, but you know, it's not wired good, but it's been pretty good. |
[1023.80 --> 1028.50] So that's been nice because some points on this trip I have just had horrendously bad signal. |
[1029.48 --> 1031.60] It's amazing what you can actually still get done. |
[1032.00 --> 1041.52] We actually found that in all our time kind of boondocking around the southwest, I think it was only one spot we ended up in where we didn't have usable cellular internet. |
[1041.52 --> 1043.34] And we sort of knew that going into it. |
[1043.38 --> 1046.80] So we just made sure that all the work we had to do, we didn't need anything online. |
[1047.56 --> 1057.50] But a big part of living in the RV is you find all of these challenges, I think, a lot quicker than when you live in a house. |
[1057.72 --> 1058.10] No kidding. |
[1058.46 --> 1058.60] Yeah. |
[1058.78 --> 1063.86] And a good one for us is when I want to update our website, let's say I've got a new Docker container I want to push. |
[1064.68 --> 1070.04] If you're sitting in an office, you think nothing of going Docker push and uploading that image. |
[1070.04 --> 1071.02] Of course, right. |
[1071.02 --> 1079.46] I spent a long time optimizing hours so that it was pushing just the tiniest little delta of that layer at the top that had to change. |
[1079.86 --> 1082.18] And it was otherwise as static as possible. |
[1082.56 --> 1084.14] And all these little things you find. |
[1084.52 --> 1085.20] That's a great point. |
[1085.38 --> 1089.68] It's like, boy, sometimes updating Docker images takes freaking forever over cellular. |
[1089.96 --> 1092.00] Like, it's clearly not many people doing that. |
[1092.80 --> 1095.22] Hey, Alex, hot, hot update here. |
[1095.22 --> 1100.88] It looks like MQTT Explorer is available for Linux as an app image and a snap. |
[1101.24 --> 1105.40] So you can get it on GNU slash Linux and a Mac and the App Store and a DMG. |
[1105.56 --> 1106.38] And, of course, on Windows. |
[1106.38 --> 1115.40] I think I've spent more time nodding and smiling and looking impressed in the last 20 minutes than I have in the last 20 months. |
[1115.76 --> 1118.04] Some seriously, seriously cool stuff. |
[1118.12 --> 1126.38] I wonder how much we could apply to people's houses and make people more cognizant of the energy they're using and maybe make that into some kind of sustainable movement. |
[1126.38 --> 1126.98] Movement. |
[1127.88 --> 1128.88] Really interesting. |
[1129.04 --> 1131.98] So what's your favorite automation that you've done? |
[1132.76 --> 1137.70] The untrippable breaker has probably been the most impactful day to day. |
[1138.06 --> 1147.94] One of the ones that was so simple yet made a huge difference to our quality of life was we have a GPS dongle that we have plugged into the Victron CCGX, |
[1148.18 --> 1152.18] which means the Victron system is aware of the trailer's location at any point in time. |
[1152.18 --> 1158.62] It can use that for some geofencing and things through the Victron software, through their dashboard. |
[1159.72 --> 1165.30] But once you then plug that GPS dongle in, it's then also exposing its data on the NQTT broker, |
[1165.56 --> 1173.94] which means I can then collect that data with Node.RED and Home Assistant, about maybe 18 months or so ago, I guess, |
[1174.52 --> 1180.08] added a new service allowing you to set the home location through the Home Assistant API. |
[1180.08 --> 1185.94] So then as we're driving down the road, every 60 seconds, Node.RED will ping Home Assistant and say, |
[1186.38 --> 1187.50] oh, by the way, we're now here. |
[1188.04 --> 1191.76] And that way, as we cross time zones or state borders or whatever, |
[1192.52 --> 1194.70] Home Assistant always has our latest information. |
[1195.70 --> 1197.90] Schedules based on time all continue to work. |
[1198.62 --> 1201.06] Yeah, that was a real simple one, but really worked well. |
[1201.64 --> 1204.36] I know that's a problem you've been trying to solve, Chris, for some time now. |
[1204.74 --> 1205.56] Yeah, it's so silly. |
[1205.56 --> 1212.64] Here I am in Tucson right now, and my evening automation for lighting is based on the sunset in the Pacific Northwest. |
[1213.22 --> 1216.22] And I used to go in there and update it, but I just kind of stopped. |
[1216.28 --> 1217.52] I just kind of said, ah, screw it. |
[1217.54 --> 1218.56] I'm done updating it. |
[1218.62 --> 1219.34] It's close enough. |
[1219.42 --> 1220.58] It's about an hour off. |
[1222.78 --> 1224.24] So I should totally look into that. |
[1225.94 --> 1227.82] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[1227.90 --> 1232.56] Go there to get $100 in 60-day credit on your account and go there to support this show. |
[1232.56 --> 1234.72] You know, Linode started in 2003. |
[1234.84 --> 1238.98] It's one of the very first companies in cloud computing before we called it cloud computing. |
[1239.18 --> 1242.70] And now, 18 years later, they haven't launched a trillion different services. |
[1242.86 --> 1245.68] They've remained focused in building out their core service. |
[1245.96 --> 1251.50] Not only do they have the best servers in the business with incredible performance, fast networking, 11 data centers around the world, |
[1251.50 --> 1260.42] but they've added services that matter, things that impact the quality of your life, like DDoS protection, VLAN support, a powerful DNS manager, |
[1260.82 --> 1266.00] and, of course, block storage and S3-compatible object storage, which I absolutely love. |
[1266.36 --> 1270.92] But I know there's people, you know, like Alex, who like things like the Terraform support and the Kubernetes support. |
[1271.74 --> 1272.42] Yeah, yeah, yeah. |
[1272.44 --> 1274.16] I'm sure that's great for some of you out there. |
[1274.34 --> 1275.12] So shoot me. |
[1275.12 --> 1284.70] But what I like about Linode is they have really just remained focused on building something really great for those of us who want something fast and reliable. |
[1285.02 --> 1289.92] And then they back that with the best customer support in the business, phone, ticket, email, even social. |
[1290.02 --> 1291.06] They're going to take care of you. |
[1291.44 --> 1293.02] And there's tons of one-click deployments. |
[1293.12 --> 1296.22] If you just want to get started with something, that can be a great way to learn. |
[1296.60 --> 1299.96] You can also just DIY, which is often the way I prefer to go. |
[1299.96 --> 1306.78] Or sometimes they'll do something in the middle where I'll deploy a base system that has just the runtime for the container information. |
[1306.94 --> 1309.48] I'll install all that junk that you'd normally have to set up. |
[1309.58 --> 1311.06] And it has the right repos. |
[1311.16 --> 1313.62] You're getting the right versions of the packages and the GPG keys. |
[1313.92 --> 1315.34] And then we'll just build on top of that. |
[1315.58 --> 1318.14] And that takes like, I don't know, eight seconds to deploy. |
[1318.26 --> 1319.10] It's pretty fast. |
[1319.14 --> 1319.76] It's pretty amazing. |
[1320.20 --> 1322.48] So go over to linode.com slash SSH. |
[1322.56 --> 1323.64] Get that $100. |
[1324.10 --> 1326.36] Support the show and see what we've been talking about. |
[1326.36 --> 1330.12] Every time we're working on a project, we'll try something out on Linode real quick. |
[1330.82 --> 1332.38] It's a great way to R&D stuff. |
[1332.60 --> 1334.78] And, you know, that $100 can help you do that as well. |
[1335.16 --> 1336.48] So you've got to go check it out for yourself. |
[1336.60 --> 1340.70] Take advantage of that $100 and see why Linode is better than the rest. |
[1340.78 --> 1343.62] There's a lot of choices out there, but nobody does it like Linode. |
[1344.00 --> 1346.12] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[1348.66 --> 1349.28] Right then. |
[1349.38 --> 1356.08] So the ultimate conclusion of self-hosting, at least in my opinion, is probably to self-build, you know, a house. |
[1356.36 --> 1358.00] Or somewhere you're going to live, right? |
[1358.84 --> 1364.08] Tell us a little bit about your plans, Matt, for the 40 acres in Vermont that you've just bought. |
[1364.70 --> 1364.98] Yes. |
[1365.14 --> 1369.96] So I am, like you, sort of a Brit here in the US. |
[1370.28 --> 1374.56] And as we've been traveling around the US, we've been looking for where we might want to live one day. |
[1375.14 --> 1380.40] We don't have family in the US, so we're really free to kind of choose wherever it is we want to live. |
