[2349.94 --> 2353.54] We should have like a little powwow with Wes and like, you know, brainstorm.
[2354.24 --> 2358.78] I mean, there's a bunch of problems to solve like DNS and load balancing and, you know,
[2358.84 --> 2360.60] access control and all that kind of stuff.
[2360.70 --> 2366.02] But for me, when we had that hedge dock outage a couple of weeks ago, it just, for me, it was
[2366.02 --> 2368.68] a red flag to say, hey, Chris doesn't have access to this box.
[2369.02 --> 2369.26] Hmm.
[2369.26 --> 2370.74] Perhaps you should fix that, Alex.
[2370.80 --> 2375.34] Perhaps we should have a more centralized way of managing all the JB core services that
[2375.34 --> 2377.64] we use to do the production of these shows.
[2377.64 --> 2381.84] Backblaze.com slash SSH.
[2381.90 --> 2383.02] Go there to get a free trial.
[2383.10 --> 2384.16] No credit card required.
[2384.28 --> 2385.16] Yeah, it's Backblaze.
[2385.66 --> 2386.70] Yeah, it's Backblaze.
[2387.10 --> 2387.60] That's right.
[2387.68 --> 2389.76] Unlimited computer backup for your Macs and PCs.
[2389.94 --> 2390.92] Just $7 a month.
[2390.96 --> 2393.22] When you go to Backblaze.com slash SSH.
[2393.42 --> 2395.16] You can restore files from anywhere.
[2395.58 --> 2397.46] You can directly download them from the web.
[2398.00 --> 2400.78] Or, I mean, if it's a lot, you can even restore them by mail.
[2400.92 --> 2401.98] You purchase a disk.
[2402.40 --> 2403.40] They'll overnight it to you.
[2403.40 --> 2406.42] And then you can just return it to them when you're done for a refund.
[2406.96 --> 2409.26] They also give you access via their mobile app.
[2409.58 --> 2413.98] They've restored over 50 billion files for their customers.
[2414.46 --> 2415.26] Can you believe that?
[2415.92 --> 2422.30] So go try out a free, fully featured, no credit card required trial at Backblaze.com slash SSH.
[2422.36 --> 2422.84] Yeah, that's right.
[2422.90 --> 2425.24] Backblaze.com slash SSH.
[2425.60 --> 2427.20] You guys know about Backblaze.
[2427.20 --> 2430.50] This is the opportunity to try it out and support the show.
[2431.24 --> 2435.30] Get a full featured 15-day free trial at Backblaze.com slash SSH.
[2435.54 --> 2438.82] Go there, play with it, and start protecting yourself from a potential bad day.
[2438.96 --> 2442.36] Start today at Backblaze.com slash SSH.
[2444.26 --> 2448.46] Okay, so Five writes in with a science fiction self-hosted vision.
[2448.92 --> 2450.60] This is a bit wacky, so bear with me.
[2451.06 --> 2451.90] All right, get in story mode.
[2453.42 --> 2454.88] Stay a while and listen.
[2454.88 --> 2461.90] Okay, so I perceive my data as captives on a Titan-class closed system ship.
[2462.46 --> 2464.72] Some of the captives are treated quite restrictedly,
[2465.06 --> 2468.12] whilst others might be provided with what seems like paradise,
[2468.44 --> 2471.88] with ample food and simulated sunlight and fauna and so on.
[2472.90 --> 2477.24] As we know, what appears to be too good to be true typically is too good to be true.
[2477.62 --> 2482.36] There's no telling when the captives decide to unleash a vicious creature or deadly virus on the captives.
[2482.36 --> 2490.40] I envision projects like Home Assistant, Jellyfin and Matrix as emergency life pods liberating the captives.
[2490.78 --> 2496.64] It would be suicide to take on the whole armada at once, but we are able to rescue a few captives from each platform.
[2497.34 --> 2502.96] Once our Libre starship is prepared for their arrival, the captives can adjust to the stable LTS systems,
[2502.96 --> 2506.26] and these systems could also be stable container-based systems.
[2506.58 --> 2507.54] Look, I'm not judging.
[2507.66 --> 2509.84] After the freed captives are acclimatized,
[2510.26 --> 2514.82] we can fly off and break free the next victims behind proprietary space jails.
[2515.52 --> 2519.96] Keep the Jupiter Broadcasting beacon illuminated for our wayward souls.
[2521.04 --> 2521.52] Okay.
[2523.36 --> 2525.66] I want whatever he was having when he wrote that in.
[2525.68 --> 2526.24] That's great.
[2526.86 --> 2527.88] It is true, though.
[2527.88 --> 2532.24] I kind of, you know, like last episode, I was kind of grousing about hosting Matrix,
[2532.64 --> 2536.80] but I do feel like it's a bit of a hedge.
[2537.34 --> 2543.62] I totally admit Discord gets more engagement, has a way bigger network effect.
[2543.94 --> 2546.16] It's way simpler for users to get going on.
[2546.28 --> 2549.50] And from an administrator's perspective, it's so much less work.
[2549.50 --> 2554.44] But Matrix is ran on my own infrastructure, you know?
[2554.64 --> 2560.66] And, like, I like that I can have an at Jupiter Broadcasting account on there.
[2560.82 --> 2562.28] It's like my domain.
[2563.24 --> 2570.52] And so I feel like it's a bit of a hedge from when it seems like eventually Discord's going to turn into, like, a piece of crap,
[2570.74 --> 2573.80] as all of these social platforms tend to eventually do.
[2573.80 --> 2576.32] And so we keep it going, you know?
[2576.44 --> 2582.70] And I also like the challenge of figuring out how to manage something like a Synapse server,
[2582.78 --> 2585.48] which is a constantly growing and changing beast.
[2585.74 --> 2588.42] It's just a, it's an interesting infrastructure challenge, too.
[2590.10 --> 2591.32] Charles writes in, he says,
[2591.36 --> 2592.92] I've been listening since episode one.
[2593.66 --> 2597.30] I have an idea for discussion on the show that I'd like to hear you guys chew on.
[2597.54 --> 2599.20] What about self-hosting Git?
[2599.30 --> 2601.92] Is it worth that overusing something like GitHub?
[2601.92 --> 2606.10] I see so many people in the community, often open source software users,
[2606.30 --> 2610.84] that are just up on GitHub when we have solutions like GitLab and GitT.
[2611.14 --> 2613.16] And, of course, there's just plain Git.
[2613.50 --> 2618.34] I'm not a developer myself, but I'm trying to move my self-hosted services to Git-based Docker Compose files.
[2618.90 --> 2619.52] Thanks, as always.
[2619.60 --> 2624.74] So Charles wants to know your thoughts on, like, running your own GitLab or just using GitHub.
[2625.02 --> 2626.86] Because I know you use GitHub quite a bit for stuff.
[2627.60 --> 2631.24] It doesn't have to be an exclusive relationship with GitHub.
[2631.24 --> 2632.66] So that's the thing, right?
[2632.74 --> 2634.90] I mean, I run a GitT server at home.
[2635.62 --> 2642.88] And I mirror every single Git repo that I have on GitHub using their mirroring functionality built into GitT to my local instance.
[2643.36 --> 2651.16] So I generally go with GitHub on stuff that I know other people are going to see or want to see or I think they might find useful.
[2651.16 --> 2653.34] Just simply for that network effect.
[2653.54 --> 2659.16] And then everything else, you know, like my personal wikis and stuff like that, that I don't want Satya to have access to.
[2660.06 --> 2663.36] I keep them in my local GitT instance and they never leave my land.
[2663.50 --> 2665.16] You know, it's just...
[2665.16 --> 2669.40] There are different classifications for different types of data, in my opinion.
[2669.40 --> 2676.92] And, you know, you just got to figure out which one, which service works best for that particular piece of code or whatever it is.
[2677.42 --> 2684.08] Man, if that doesn't just sum up how I kind of weigh the pros and cons of what I cloud host versus what I self-host right there, actually.
[2684.64 --> 2687.52] Because you're using GitT for your notes system, right?
[2687.60 --> 2688.90] So that's, you know, for that reason.
[2688.90 --> 2690.62] Yeah, I'm still figuring that out, actually.
[2690.72 --> 2697.06] The Obsidian mixed with DroneCI and an NGINX-based container running MKDocs.
[2697.54 --> 2699.96] I am still working on that blog post, but I don't know.
