[2215.62 --> 2215.78] Yeah. |
[2216.42 --> 2218.90] Quinton Ronan with maybe even a better one, though. |
[2219.32 --> 2222.00] He's also, he says he's a site reliability engineer. |
[2222.78 --> 2225.20] I think one of you commented about using NFC tags. |
[2225.44 --> 2226.80] I found a way around this. |
[2227.24 --> 2235.66] You create a web hook in Home Assistant and then use an automation on the phone, which is created with the shortcuts app, to call that web hook. |
[2236.06 --> 2240.84] You're allowed to trigger these from an NFC scan without having to confirm the action manually. |
[2240.84 --> 2247.20] And he has linked us to a post where he explains it more on his blog, so I will include that in the show notes. |
[2247.66 --> 2251.68] But this is, if you look in the Home Assistant app, you'll see this web hooks action. |
[2252.02 --> 2255.72] You combine that with the shortcuts app, and you've essentially solved the problem. |
[2255.92 --> 2259.36] So you've got two options, and one of them doesn't require you mess around with HomeKit at all. |
[2259.80 --> 2260.12] That's neat. |
[2260.28 --> 2262.94] I mean, I've only ever really used web hooks when it comes to Jenkins. |
[2262.94 --> 2267.24] So the fact that we can use them for something actually fun and useful. |
[2267.88 --> 2268.24] Cool. |
[2268.96 --> 2270.10] Hey, just a thank you to our members. |
[2270.26 --> 2280.68] I've noticed some of these emails are from SREs, and we really appreciate everyone who becomes a site reliability engineer, helps the show stay independent, and as a thank you, you get a little extra content. |
[2280.84 --> 2283.64] A limited ad feed with a little extra content at the end. |
[2283.80 --> 2287.54] If you'd like to help the show and become a member, it's selfhosted.show slash SRE. |
[2287.82 --> 2289.42] And so Linus writes in. |
[2289.66 --> 2291.56] I don't know if it's that Linus, although I doubt it. |
[2291.78 --> 2292.52] Let's just pretend. |
[2292.52 --> 2295.00] Okay, Mr. Torvalds. |
[2295.50 --> 2297.34] I'm going to give you advice on something. |
[2297.48 --> 2297.74] Yeah, right. |
[2297.86 --> 2298.00] Okay. |
[2298.48 --> 2299.30] Linus writes in. |
[2299.48 --> 2302.32] Could you give your opinions on how your setup will survive you? |
[2302.68 --> 2305.50] What will happen to your awesome setup if you aren't around anymore? |
[2305.68 --> 2307.96] Will your spouse just pick up everything and it just work? |
[2308.50 --> 2311.66] How can I strive towards such a situation if worse comes to the worst? |
[2312.02 --> 2313.72] Thanks for a great podcast, Linus. |
[2314.04 --> 2314.80] Deep question. |
[2315.14 --> 2317.54] One that's a little uncomfortable to think about sometimes. |
[2317.54 --> 2325.52] I do think this played a little role in my recent renewed push to document as much as my setup as possible in Markdown. |
[2325.52 --> 2332.06] But I know that, no, my family wouldn't really use these systems. |
[2332.48 --> 2337.42] I have documented the passwords in a password vault that they have the password to. |
[2337.52 --> 2339.96] So they, if they needed to, could get access to that. |
[2340.06 --> 2346.36] And then they could share that with somebody like Alex who could help spin stuff up or down for them and, you know, transition them. |
[2346.36 --> 2347.64] I think that's a great point. |
[2348.10 --> 2354.20] Plain text all the things as much as possible and have a Bitwarden or a LastPass or something like that. |
[2354.52 --> 2354.66] Yeah. |
[2354.78 --> 2356.18] So right now it's in LastPass. |
[2356.32 --> 2365.68] However, I have been thinking about transitioning to something else like Bitwarden or something that is, I mean, it's something I want to have a conversation with them because I need to have their buy-off as well. |
[2365.68 --> 2370.68] But I want to share, you know, primarily with my wife, but there's some things that I would leave for Angela too. |
[2370.80 --> 2375.26] And so I kind of wanted something that could accommodate different logins with different credentials. |
[2375.42 --> 2377.76] So if anybody has any suggestions, I'd love to know. |
[2377.86 --> 2381.80] But what do you think about, do you think your wife would keep it going for a bit? |
[2381.88 --> 2383.50] Do you think she'd ask just for somebody to help? |
[2383.64 --> 2389.08] Or do you think she'd just shut it down and get a cable subscription and start reading books? |
[2389.18 --> 2390.54] I mean, what do you think she would do? |
[2391.08 --> 2393.90] Well, at the end of the day, this stuff is my hobby. |
[2394.06 --> 2394.32] Right. |
[2394.32 --> 2399.36] And it just so happens I've been lucky enough to turn it into a podcast and Linux as a job. |
[2400.06 --> 2403.06] But I also enjoy doing this stuff in my spare time as well. |
[2403.36 --> 2403.52] Yeah. |
[2403.72 --> 2419.54] I just don't see how she or anyone else in my family would have that level of interest to keep things on the road beyond, you know, the initial 6, 12 months, you know, that these things would probably continue running for untouched. |
[2420.18 --> 2424.20] There are some things I think that would be missed in terms of quality in life. |
[2424.32 --> 2428.06] Like Plex, like BookSonic, like Home Assistant. |
[2428.06 --> 2440.72] But are they sufficiently useful that it's not worth just buying a Netflix membership or buying some proprietary smart home automation stuff? |
[2440.72 --> 2446.78] Like a lot of what we've done is ultimately boils down to being nice to have versus absolutely critical. |
[2446.96 --> 2450.88] I view it as critical because of my value set and who I am. |
[2450.88 --> 2459.92] But there's a huge swathe of people in my immediate circle in my family that wouldn't care if that stuff went away tomorrow, really. |
[2459.92 --> 2463.54] So I think it would continue to work for some time. |
[2463.62 --> 2467.86] But ultimately, it would sort of decay and die with me, which is a bit sad to think about. |
[2468.36 --> 2468.38] Yeah. |
[2468.50 --> 2473.22] I think the things that they would care more about would be things like documents and photos. |
[2473.22 --> 2477.26] I think that is something that would be a little more significant. |
[2477.62 --> 2485.66] And so that's something I try to give thought to a little bit long term is just in that maybe I haven't done a good enough job with that currently. |
[2485.66 --> 2491.56] But it wouldn't take a lot of work to make that pretty accessible to my wife without my help. |
[2492.00 --> 2498.08] Maybe the way to think about this is try to think of things that they would want access to and then make it as easy as possible for them. |
[2498.64 --> 2502.94] But it's always worth thinking and trying to build your systems that way, if nothing else. |
[2503.02 --> 2508.76] Because even though it's a little bit of a morbid thought, I think it actually leads to building better systems. |
[2509.20 --> 2509.56] Totally does. |
[2509.56 --> 2516.94] I mean, just stop and ask yourself the question now, if something did happen to you tomorrow or, well, even if it doesn't, right? |
[2516.96 --> 2531.74] If you just had to give your partner or your brother or sister or parent or something your laptop and say, go and do something, you know, download a photo or find this tax return or whatever it is. |
[2532.50 --> 2537.10] Do you think they'd be able to do it without you going, oh, you just do this or you just do that? |
[2537.10 --> 2552.46] You know, and if the answer is no, then like Chris says, maybe you need to write some better documentation and print it out or something and put it in a safe or something and say, go to this web URL and you will find the answers to the kingdom, you know. |
[2552.92 --> 2560.36] It kind of goes back to a topic that comes up on our show, well, several times over the, you know, the year plus run now because it's over a year now. |
[2561.02 --> 2561.50] Craftsmanship. |
[2561.88 --> 2562.28] Absolutely. |
[2562.86 --> 2565.48] You know, and that can be another aspect of craftsmanship about your setup. |
[2565.48 --> 2566.04] And why not? |
[2566.08 --> 2567.40] Because nobody else is going to do it. |
[2567.50 --> 2568.46] And it's your setup. |
[2568.88 --> 2570.90] It's your opportunity to show a little craftsmanship. |
[2571.00 --> 2574.48] And also it's another, it's another nice way for people to remember you by. |
[2574.54 --> 2577.42] Look at the time and effort he took to make this accessible for us. |
[2577.64 --> 2578.56] So it's a win-win. |
[2578.70 --> 2579.92] It's just a matter of time. |
[2580.28 --> 2583.34] And I kind of pulled back on it a little bit, but you know what? |
[2584.00 --> 2585.24] Mr. Torvald's writing in here. |
[2585.30 --> 2587.40] It's got me feeling like I'm going to keep up with it again. |
[2587.40 --> 2591.86] It's like inheriting someone else's workshop tools, you know. |
[2592.12 --> 2592.42] Yeah. |
[2592.66 --> 2595.70] When my wife's dad passed away, we inherited a bunch of his workshop stuff. |
[2595.96 --> 2601.96] And it was, I don't know, just odd to be in someone else's cave, you know. |
[2602.16 --> 2604.72] And I guess it's a similar situation with these types of systems. |
[2604.92 --> 2609.08] So I'm all sad now thinking about this. |
[2609.54 --> 2612.14] I feel like if I logged into your box, though, I'd feel pretty comfortable. |
