[2398.28 --> 2402.86] We're going to have a little bit of a 3D printing hoedown in the post show today, I think. |
[2403.24 --> 2407.00] Yeah, I look forward to that, and I also have a bit of a confession to make. |
[2407.00 --> 2409.20] Just a little bit of business before we go. |

[0.00 --> 6.50] Coming up on the show, we react to Home Assistant password shaming both of us and then attempt to solve an age-old cloud problem. |
[7.28 --> 8.50] Backups. I'm Chris. |
[8.94 --> 10.50] And I'm Alex, and this is Self-Hosted. |
[11.72 --> 14.16] The podcast is a middle-aged man now. We're 40. |
[15.08 --> 21.22] Yeah, the podcast is feeling like he's still got some pet left in him, but also has a few miles on him. Or her. |
[21.46 --> 22.74] Midlife crisis coming up. |
[23.26 --> 27.36] Is the podcast, does it have a gender? It's a thing, right? |
[27.36 --> 29.46] The podcast prefers to be referred to as they. |
[30.00 --> 35.02] Podcast pronouns. |
[35.88 --> 37.52] There's a title right there, I'll tell you what. |
[38.08 --> 41.72] Anyway, you were going to tell me about your off-grid solar stuff. We've not heard about that for a while. |
[42.26 --> 47.88] We were chatting about this just before we hit record because I'm off-grid and podcasting on solar right now. |
[48.22 --> 50.64] I was just talking to you, actually, because you're thinking about getting solar. |
[50.64 --> 56.22] And I think the thing that people have to wrap their head around is, what are you planning for? |
[56.28 --> 58.68] Are you planning for a grid blackout or brownout? |
[58.68 --> 61.24] Are you planning for going out into the woods? |
[61.70 --> 62.94] What's your scenario? |
[62.94 --> 68.26] And then how much battery do you really need versus could you supplement with a generator? |
[68.26 --> 77.40] Like, for me right now, I think I've hit a sweet spot of enough battery capacity that I can run on it for a day or so. |
[77.54 --> 82.10] And if it's a sunny day out, I can get a 30%, 40% charge right now in the winter. |
[82.46 --> 85.34] But I can't get 100% charge off of solar right now. |
[85.34 --> 91.44] And so I need to run the generator for about an hour once a day right now when I'm off-grid. |
[92.34 --> 93.48] And that's fine. |
[93.58 --> 98.22] I feel like that's actually a really good spot because the more battery you have, the more generator or solar you're going to need. |
