[814.50 --> 818.74] So you can have a daily, a weekly, a monthly, yearly snapshot, that kind of thing.
[818.88 --> 819.28] Really?
[819.50 --> 821.88] I can have up to seven days and four months or whatever.
[822.06 --> 822.86] You got to link this.
[822.98 --> 823.76] You got to link this up.
[823.76 --> 824.58] I got to check this out.
[824.76 --> 825.00] All right.
[825.04 --> 827.48] Yeah, it's pretty slick and it obviously integrates with Google Drive.
[827.66 --> 832.06] So, you know, each snapshot's 200 megs or so in my setup.
[832.50 --> 834.32] So it doesn't really take much storage.
[835.88 --> 837.74] Linode.com slash SSH.
[837.82 --> 841.56] Go there to get a $100 60-day credit and support the self-hosted podcast.
[842.26 --> 843.84] Linode is our server provider.
[843.84 --> 848.78] Whenever we're building something for the show or my personal infrastructure and now JB 3.0's infrastructure.
[849.46 --> 851.42] Yeah, it's all up on Linode.
[851.42 --> 854.30] And gamers, Linode is your DIY of choice.
[854.30 --> 863.04] They make it really easy and there are plenty of simple one-click deployments for things like Minecraft and CSGO servers.
[863.16 --> 868.32] That's a really simple way and a really nice and fast way to get a nice private gaming space.
[868.32 --> 876.00] And they will have you fill out like just some of the basics you need to get some of the fundamental server options set and they'll deploy it pre-configured for you.
[876.24 --> 877.34] So make sure you check that out.
[877.42 --> 882.00] Every plan comes with Linode's amazing human-powered customer support.
[882.00 --> 888.20] We've had story after story from our audience of great experience with Linode's customer support.
[888.32 --> 893.48] You can email, you can hit them up on social media, you can pick up a phone and talk to an actual human.
[894.10 --> 895.00] How about that?
[895.30 --> 896.08] I mean, Linode gets it.
[896.10 --> 897.56] They've been around for a long time.
[897.90 --> 901.28] They started in 2003 as one of the first companies in cloud computing.
[901.62 --> 904.98] Three years before AWS and other enterprise providers.
[905.26 --> 909.06] And they're independently owned and they're founded on a love for Linux and open source technologies.
[909.06 --> 911.80] And they really support the community that surrounds them.
[911.90 --> 919.46] Like this show, like the Kubuntu project, like LinuxFest Northwest, which you know is very special to us.
[919.92 --> 920.94] Linode's a supporter of them.
[921.30 --> 926.58] But you get a $100 credit when you go to linode.com slash SSH.
[926.70 --> 929.84] So you can play around with their really powerful systems if you want.
[930.20 --> 932.46] Try out building some tools around object storage.
[932.68 --> 935.48] It's a great opportunity to experiment with different stacks.
[935.48 --> 940.68] That's one of the things I've done on Linode is I tried several different WordPress stacks to see which one I like.
[940.78 --> 945.14] You know, with Nginx or I even tried a web browser where everything runs out of RAM.
[945.24 --> 951.12] And they have all of this stuff that is just ready to go as configuration scripts that you can just kick off and get going.
[951.68 --> 952.76] It's really simple.
[953.42 --> 955.32] And they also offer a lot of powerful tools.
[955.42 --> 956.78] They don't hide that stuff from you either.
[957.12 --> 957.68] So try it out.
[957.92 --> 959.92] Linode.com slash SSH.
[959.92 --> 968.18] How often do you ask yourself the question, when does it make sense to build versus buy a solution?
[968.54 --> 972.06] I mean, a lot of times that's one of the first or second questions I ask myself.
[972.16 --> 973.70] I very frequently do that math.
[973.90 --> 974.88] You must as well.
[975.26 --> 978.82] Yeah, what's particularly annoying is that I actually built a solution last year.
[979.12 --> 986.56] And there's a solution I can now buy that is so much better for half the price that I'm kind of sat here going,
[986.80 --> 988.64] I wish I hadn't built one now.
[988.64 --> 990.46] Yeah, it's tricky, right?
[990.50 --> 995.26] Because things like temperature sensors and humidity sensors, you might end up wanting a lot of them.
[995.52 --> 995.96] You do, yeah.
[996.06 --> 999.30] So, I mean, probably every single room is a bit of overkill.
[999.48 --> 1006.86] But certainly at the other end of the spectrum, just a single thermostat as a single point of measurement in a house is,
[1007.30 --> 1009.38] I've always, it's always struck me as weird.
[1009.62 --> 1011.16] It's absolutely nutty.
[1011.24 --> 1014.20] It's even nutty in a tiny space like a tiny home or an RV.
[1014.20 --> 1018.74] Yeah, because one room, if you shut a door, can get to, you know, several degrees higher than the hallway.
[1019.22 --> 1019.34] Yeah.
[1019.76 --> 1022.56] So, I'm holding in my hand up to the camera so you can see it.
[1022.90 --> 1024.84] This is the little temperature sensor I've bought.
[1025.02 --> 1026.14] It's from Xiaomi.
[1026.46 --> 1029.88] So, it's a Bluetooth low energy temperature sensor with an OLED screen.
[1030.56 --> 1032.08] There'll be a picture of it in the show notes.
[1032.08 --> 1037.12] It's about the size of three or four keys on my keyboard square.
[1037.26 --> 1038.32] So, it's pretty small.
[1038.46 --> 1039.96] Fits in the palm of my hand very comfortably.
[1040.90 --> 1047.30] And they supply these things with a small little piece of adhesive tape that you can use to just stick it on the wall anywhere.
[1047.86 --> 1049.06] They're fully battery powered.
[1049.06 --> 1054.24] They connect to an ESP32, which you flash with ESP Home.
[1054.76 --> 1061.70] You give it the Bluetooth MAC address of this device and then ESP Home will connect to these sensors.
[1062.26 --> 1063.26] There is a catch.
[1063.80 --> 1066.38] You need to flash a custom firmware on the sensors as well.
[1067.08 --> 1072.82] So, expect to set aside an evening to do this if you're flashing, you know, half a dozen sensors or so.
[1073.20 --> 1076.92] But the best part is that it's $9 for a four pack of these sensors.
[1077.42 --> 1077.88] No.
[1078.88 --> 1080.50] With the screen on there?
[1080.54 --> 1081.82] I mean, that's what I love about them.
[1082.06 --> 1082.40] I know.
[1082.86 --> 1083.70] It's crazy, isn't it?
[1083.76 --> 1087.68] I have very expensive temperature sensors that'll do all kinds of fancy things.
[1088.12 --> 1091.58] But, you know what they don't do is they don't actually just display the temperature on them.
[1091.58 --> 1096.58] And, in a way, that's a killer feature because you get the context right there for the room you're in.
[1096.68 --> 1098.12] And it's also being fed to Home Assistant.
[1098.44 --> 1104.86] The temperature and the humidity on the screen, which in the southeast of the U.S., humidity is the bane of my life.
[1104.86 --> 1107.02] So, yeah.
[1107.12 --> 1109.16] So, you want to keep an eye on that damn thing.
[1109.38 --> 1109.50] Yeah.
[1109.50 --> 1113.70] How long would you say for four of them to get that flashing process done?
[1113.70 --> 1120.44] Well, there's actually a really slick sort of web configurator thing built into the GitHub repo that's linked in the show notes.
[1120.76 --> 1122.24] So, what you do is you fire up your phone.
[1122.36 --> 1124.32] You connect your phone's Bluetooth to this thing.
[1125.06 --> 1126.72] Flash the firmware through a web browser.
[1126.72 --> 1129.90] And then listen for the MAC address in the logs that way.
[1129.98 --> 1132.36] And then paste that into the ESP Home configuration.
[1132.92 --> 1134.86] And flash that to your ESP32.
[1135.18 --> 1136.54] It sounds like a lot of steps.
[1136.94 --> 1140.28] But it really isn't that bad if you're familiar with ESP Home.
