[207.18 --> 207.32] Yeah.
[207.36 --> 212.00] We're not looking for like a lady dupe size type thing, you know, like a huge bus type
[212.00 --> 212.30] thing.
[212.30 --> 216.62] But maybe a Class C or something like that, like in England, it would be called like a
[216.62 --> 217.68] camper van or something.
[217.82 --> 222.76] Not like a sprinter size, like the next size up, you know, medium size.
[222.84 --> 226.10] So we could still drive it into national parks and stuff like that in the future if we wanted
[226.10 --> 229.24] to, you know, and not take up half the parking lot.
[229.88 --> 232.20] I'll tell you what, you might want to get in the Starlink queue now.
[233.54 --> 234.40] Yeah, that's what I'm hearing.
[234.40 --> 234.88] That's what I'm hearing.
[236.26 --> 237.34] It sounds pretty bad.
[237.38 --> 238.90] I'm pretty grateful I got it when I did.
[238.90 --> 244.68] And then not only am I grateful that I got in the queue when I did for Starlink, but
[244.68 --> 246.88] did you see that they updated the Starlink dish?
[247.06 --> 253.42] And now it is smaller and I suspect uses less power, which sounds really nice, but it doesn't
[253.42 --> 255.02] come with built-in Ethernet anymore.
[255.30 --> 258.26] That's like an additional purchase.
[258.48 --> 261.10] And I think it might even be like a USB Ethernet deal now.
[262.52 --> 263.24] So how does that work?
[263.34 --> 267.84] Isn't the whole point that it just plugged into a firewall or some description?
[267.84 --> 270.14] I mean, that's what made it huge for me, right?
[270.24 --> 277.24] Because Starlink is one of four different simultaneous possible internet connections that I have.
[277.38 --> 280.40] And so being able to manage that in one router is very nice.
[280.90 --> 281.08] Four?
[281.26 --> 281.50] Yeah.
[281.62 --> 283.54] You have four different internet connections.
[283.82 --> 285.94] I'm counting a Wi-Fi connection with that, but yeah.
[286.38 --> 287.30] But that is true.
[287.38 --> 288.08] That's pretty baller.
[288.74 --> 290.92] It doesn't mean none of them are fast.
[293.00 --> 296.82] I have sometimes played around with combining all of them, but weakest link and all that.
[296.82 --> 297.70] But you know what I mean?
[297.84 --> 303.80] Like it is really nice to just, I run Ethernet from the back of Dishy right into my PepWave.
[304.54 --> 310.70] And for me, that was such a nice thing for me that they did that.
[310.84 --> 317.28] Because essentially that means that Dish is not only doing all of the work of connecting
[317.28 --> 321.90] to the Starlink network, but it's also doing the DHCP relay.
[322.06 --> 324.02] It's like, it's doing the modem business too.
[324.26 --> 332.24] And their router, while a pretty good little router that ran OpenWrt, is actually unnecessary
[332.24 --> 334.00] unless you don't have a firewall already.
[334.38 --> 336.52] But now they've made that little router necessary.
[336.52 --> 338.28] So there's one more component.
[338.82 --> 340.76] I would not be able to manage it as well.
[341.18 --> 343.76] So I'm glad I got it from that point too.
[343.84 --> 350.84] But I do worry it means when they do finally release their mobile RV slash boat dish, which
[350.84 --> 355.20] they are working on, they'll probably have a similar setup, which is probably what I'll
[355.20 --> 355.78] have to switch to.
[356.74 --> 358.22] Well, I'll buy the V1 stuff off you.
[358.78 --> 359.28] There you go.
[359.54 --> 359.96] There you go.
[360.08 --> 360.86] You heard it right here.
[360.86 --> 361.78] Hey.
[363.28 --> 363.76] All right.
[363.80 --> 370.12] So you text me during the week and I was, I was out doing stuff and I got a text saying,
[370.32 --> 371.02] Hey, Hey Alex.
[371.22 --> 372.46] Hey, Hey, Hey Alex.
[373.24 --> 374.22] Hedge dock is down.
[374.40 --> 378.30] You know, that's what we use for all of our internal show notes and stuff like that to
[378.30 --> 378.66] collaborate.
[378.76 --> 380.90] And you were just warming up to record LUP, weren't you?
[381.90 --> 384.34] It was Tuesday morning here in the Pacific Northwest.
[385.04 --> 386.12] Busy morning for us.
[386.12 --> 388.94] And of course, that's always the worst time to have something go down, right?
[388.94 --> 391.08] Because everybody's coming online here.
[391.20 --> 394.72] Wes and Brent and I are all kind of getting online in the morning and we're looking at
[394.72 --> 396.60] the dock and it's, it's not working.
[397.42 --> 400.00] And you know, this happens when you self-host things.
[400.06 --> 405.20] I mean, it's nothing's 100% when you use a service that is hosted by a company either.
[406.48 --> 409.96] Because, you know, when you think about it, all they're doing is self-hosting it.
[410.26 --> 414.44] Just perhaps, you know, putting a bit of a veneer in front of it for you.
[414.44 --> 420.28] And you would hope some standards and good practices and good team organization behind
[420.28 --> 420.76] the scenes.
[421.16 --> 421.34] Maybe.
[422.16 --> 422.54] I don't know.
[422.60 --> 424.34] It depends how good their SREs are, I suppose.
[425.32 --> 425.56] Yeah.
[426.30 --> 430.54] You hope they have some infrastructure as code and you hope they have a support system.
[430.54 --> 432.10] So anyway, I have all those things.
[432.46 --> 435.30] You know, I am your SRE in effect.
[435.80 --> 436.60] And it still happened.
[437.00 --> 437.14] Yeah.
[437.78 --> 442.76] So what happened was we use on Linode, we have an external disk, which I formatted to ZFS
[442.76 --> 448.14] so that I can do all the remote replications from the cloud of all the databases and stuff,
[448.22 --> 452.14] backing up things like HedgeDoc and the paste bin that we use and all the other self-hosted
[452.14 --> 453.48] stuff that's on that server.
[454.52 --> 456.62] It comes back to my disk.
[456.70 --> 458.06] So I do replication with ZFS.
[458.98 --> 464.14] Turned out for some reason, my Gmail app password that was doing the notifications of disk
[464.14 --> 467.66] being full had stopped working and I hadn't noticed.
[468.40 --> 472.60] And so I logged in to have a look at this disk on my phone via Tailscale, by the way.
[472.66 --> 475.10] That was a huge, huge boon for Tailscale.
[475.28 --> 479.68] Like I hadn't set up the WireGuard profiles on my phone after downgrading it to Android
[479.68 --> 481.68] 10 I talked about in the last episode.
[482.04 --> 484.56] And I was like, oh no, how do I get access to this box?
[484.72 --> 486.44] And Tailscale saved the day.
[486.68 --> 489.72] So anyway, the ZFS drive was full.
[489.72 --> 494.30] So in the end, it was a simple matter of logging into the Linode web interface, adding an extra
[494.30 --> 498.18] 50 gig to that disk, which is just so easy.
[498.46 --> 502.48] I mean, I did it on my phone in, you know, I was watching my daughter in the tumble gym
[502.48 --> 504.26] through the glass.
