[1122.18 --> 1125.10] And then, you know, they flashed Home Assistant onto it.
[1125.20 --> 1129.72] But if you want Zigbee or Z-Wave or Matter Support, you got to add a dongle.
[1129.72 --> 1138.54] And it's not really flexible in that regard where this is a device that they kind of control the board that the compute module is going to sit in.
[1138.84 --> 1140.82] They can integrate things like Zigbee.
[1141.08 --> 1142.96] They can do things like PoE.
[1142.96 --> 1152.66] And it seems like when you look at also their hardware stats we talked about earlier and you see so many, so many users are using the Raspberry Pi.
[1153.04 --> 1162.94] It probably makes sense from like a software end user reliability stability standpoint to base your core product on that same platform if you can.
[1163.30 --> 1170.24] Because then improvements you make there are going to benefit everybody else also using the Raspberry Pi that isn't running on an amber.
[1170.34 --> 1171.06] They're just on a pi.
[1171.06 --> 1172.84] Yeah, I hadn't considered that angle.
[1173.00 --> 1173.88] That's an interesting one.
[1174.46 --> 1181.50] And Alex, if you'll allow me, there's one small update in this October Home Assistant release that I wanted to talk about.
[1182.10 --> 1184.34] It wasn't initially going to cover it, so I feel kind of embarrassed.
[1184.50 --> 1185.48] But it's icons.
[1185.74 --> 1189.14] They updated the material design icons to version 6.
[1189.50 --> 1191.30] They've added 400 new icons.
[1191.30 --> 1207.60] And if you haven't done this yet to your Home Assistant update, I know all this has been very Home Assistant specific, but I tell you what, it made me love my dashboard a little bit more when I went in there and just tweaked the icons for all the different entities.
[1207.60 --> 1210.42] So they all have unique individual icons that represent what they are.
[1210.42 --> 1223.04] And rumor has it, based on what the devs accidentally said on the live stream, they're going to include in the Lovelace wizard a new icon picker soon that lets you easily pick from these icons.
[1223.20 --> 1224.28] Oh, good.
[1224.34 --> 1233.70] Because the MDI website that you pick the icons from is the slowest damn web page to load on the entire freaking internet, I swear.
[1233.76 --> 1234.20] So slow.
[1234.42 --> 1234.78] So bad.
[1234.98 --> 1235.02] Yeah.
[1235.02 --> 1237.74] I'm glad they have it, but it's so slow.
[1238.38 --> 1238.52] Yeah.
[1238.58 --> 1239.88] So they're going to have an icon picker.
[1239.98 --> 1240.80] It'll be built in.
[1241.06 --> 1243.88] And these material design icons are in Home Assistant.
[1244.04 --> 1249.24] And there's so many for your different devices that just kind of give you a nice visual indicator what it do.
[1249.70 --> 1249.98] Mm-hmm.
[1250.58 --> 1251.84] You've got to know what it do.
[1253.66 --> 1255.70] Leno.com slash SSH.
[1255.76 --> 1257.82] Talk about people who know what they are doing.
[1258.00 --> 1260.66] They've been doing this since 2003.
[1260.66 --> 1262.88] One of the very first companies in cloud computing.
[1262.88 --> 1265.30] I mean, that's knowing what you're doing.
[1265.42 --> 1273.38] And 18 years later, Linode is the largest independent open cloud provider in the world with 11 different data centers around the world.
[1273.52 --> 1275.88] So it's linode.com slash SSH.
[1275.96 --> 1279.78] You go there to get $100 in 60-day credit on a new account.
[1280.16 --> 1281.76] And, of course, you support the show.
[1281.90 --> 1285.22] This show is made possible by you taking advantage of our sponsor offers.
[1285.40 --> 1286.88] We're an independent operation.
[1286.88 --> 1288.66] A couple of guys doing our thing here.
[1288.78 --> 1292.30] And you taking advantage of something great like this linode.com slash SSH.
[1292.30 --> 1294.28] Man, that's the circle of life for us.
[1294.58 --> 1297.04] Plus, you can go in there and just see how great it is.
[1297.26 --> 1299.96] It really is a fantastic service with great performance.
[1299.96 --> 1306.40] And they've really invested in the dashboard and the hardware and the networking and, well, the whole stack, really.
[1306.70 --> 1311.16] Like, if you want to switch over from Zoom to Jitsi, they've got a one-click deployment for that.
[1311.66 --> 1315.06] And it's like a great opportunity to take advantage of our $100 credit.
[1315.06 --> 1320.58] They really have the best-in-class experience because they've been focusing on making this great for the last 18 years.
[1320.88 --> 1322.54] Their mission has remained unchanged.
[1323.24 --> 1326.94] Making cloud computing accessible, affordable for all.
[1327.44 --> 1330.72] And once you get in, you'll see that they have things like S3-compatible object storage.
[1330.84 --> 1332.58] There's so much you can do with that.
[1332.96 --> 1335.88] They have bare metal servers if your application load requires that.
[1336.00 --> 1336.92] DDoS protection.
[1337.30 --> 1338.14] VLAN support.
[1338.44 --> 1339.98] A powerful DNS manager.
[1339.98 --> 1348.30] And if you like to do your infrastructure by code, they've got Terraform and Kubernetes support to help you, well, integrate with everything else you're doing.
[1348.46 --> 1353.10] And with pricing 30% to 50% cheaper, maybe it's a great opportunity to go multi-cloud.
[1353.36 --> 1354.76] Why get locked into a single vendor?
[1355.88 --> 1359.96] Linode can help you spread that out so you're not just dependent on one hyperscaler.
[1360.24 --> 1364.84] And as we've seen just the week that we're recording, sometimes, sometimes they go down.
[1365.12 --> 1369.16] And if you ever get stuck, Linode has the best customer support in the industry.
[1369.16 --> 1373.52] They really have amazing 24-7 customer support by phone, ticket, or social.
[1373.94 --> 1378.20] And then they back all that up with hundreds of guides and thousands of tutorials.
[1379.02 --> 1382.06] Linode is dedicated to offering the best in virtualized cloud computing.
[1382.30 --> 1385.00] If it runs on Linux, it runs on Linode.
[1385.52 --> 1388.14] Sign up today at linode.com slash SSH.
[1388.22 --> 1392.08] Get $100 in 60-day credit on your new account and you support the show.
[1392.96 --> 1395.52] Linode.com slash SSH.
[1395.52 --> 1399.26] Now, what were you doing earlier in the week?
[1399.38 --> 1402.44] You weren't, you know, messing about with BGP routes, were you?
[1403.76 --> 1406.74] No, no, I'm not pushing out changes to remove DNS entries.
[1407.38 --> 1411.62] Just, you know, of course, listeners are probably picking up on the fact that this is the week that Facebook went down.
[1411.88 --> 1414.30] And Alex and I are watching this with popcorn going,
[1414.30 --> 1418.68] oh, could you imagine what it's like to be on site right now where they can't even badge in,
[1418.78 --> 1421.24] let alone figure out why everything's down?
[1421.70 --> 1422.50] What a nightmare.
[1422.50 --> 1423.92] Or send each other an email.
[1424.16 --> 1424.66] That's the thing.
[1424.80 --> 1427.96] Like, you know, bob at facebook.com would no longer work, would it?
[1428.54 --> 1428.94] Man.
[1429.30 --> 1433.48] If I didn't know any better, I'd think somebody probably lost their job.
[1433.86 --> 1436.74] Well, I mean, this conspiracy theorist in me wonders,
[1437.08 --> 1443.98] it's all a little fishy that it happened on the exact same week as the testimony whistleblower thing.
[1444.80 --> 1449.36] You know, is it a deflection tactic or is it just genuinely a screw up?
[1449.36 --> 1452.50] I don't know, but you got to wonder sometimes.
[1453.12 --> 1454.46] I don't think it was a deflection tactic.
[1454.60 --> 1458.34] I mean, it was, if it was, that was a very significant self-inflicted wound.
[1459.00 --> 1459.56] Yeah, true.
[1459.92 --> 1463.04] I actually saw one of my neighbors sharing on Facebook today,
[1463.64 --> 1466.08] 10 Facebook alternatives for 2021.
[1466.58 --> 1467.88] I just thought that was so funny.
[1468.30 --> 1468.48] Yeah.
[1468.52 --> 1471.00] And Telegram saw a massive rush of new users.
[1471.14 --> 1476.44] You know, I'd buy an insider job before I'd buy an intentional screw up,
[1476.44 --> 1478.74] you know, like a rage quit kind of thing.
