[2338.10 --> 2340.12] and then you go and order pizza instead, so.
[2341.42 --> 2344.08] Yeah, and meanwhile, she's got the index card ready to go.
[2344.18 --> 2344.84] It's very true.
[2345.04 --> 2345.96] There's something to that.
[2346.64 --> 2350.08] A reminder, you can find our sponsor, our Cloud Guru, on social media.
[2350.22 --> 2351.66] They're just slash a Cloud Guru.
[2351.82 --> 2353.68] It's really easy, like on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube,
[2353.98 --> 2355.50] pretty much all the social media platforms.
[2355.80 --> 2357.16] Just slash a Cloud Guru.
[2357.66 --> 2358.62] Also, our members.
[2358.86 --> 2361.64] Thank you to our members, selfhosted.show slash SRE.
[2361.78 --> 2362.64] You support the show.
[2363.20 --> 2365.00] You become our site reliability engineers.
[2365.00 --> 2367.76] You get a limited ad feed and extra content.
[2368.20 --> 2369.34] The post show.
[2369.92 --> 2371.52] Selfhosted.show slash SRE.
[2371.72 --> 2373.64] If you'd like to support the show and become a member.
[2374.16 --> 2375.64] My Wisecam 3 came in this week,
[2375.70 --> 2377.26] so we're going to have a little chat about that today.
[2377.36 --> 2378.64] Yes, that's going to be the post show.
[2378.68 --> 2380.46] I ordered a few of them, so I got thoughts.
[2380.60 --> 2381.14] Of course you did.
[2383.06 --> 2385.32] So you can go to selfhosted.show slash contact,
[2385.60 --> 2387.28] and that's the place to go to get in touch with us.
[2387.52 --> 2390.56] You can find me on Twitter at Ironic Badger.
[2390.56 --> 2393.26] Oh, I'm there as well, at Chris Elias,
[2393.38 --> 2395.68] and the show is at selfhosted.show.
[2395.98 --> 2398.20] On Discord, I'm at AlexKTZ.
[2398.62 --> 2400.00] So thanks very much for listening, everybody.
[2400.26 --> 2402.68] That was selfhosted.show slash 40.
[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 them.
[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 perfect spot because the more battery you have, the more generator or solar you're going to need.
[99.02 → 100.90] You can't, you know, you can't charge all.
[100.96 → 102.94] You have to have the ability to charge all that stuff up.
[103.08 → 107.72] So I feel like I've kind of hit the sweet spot that because it's winter, you know, we're not getting prime sunshine.
[107.72 → 110.56] And I'm only running the generator about once a day.
[110.78 → 112.76] And otherwise, we're getting along.
[112.90 → 114.42] I think I'm kind of in that sweet spot.
[114.50 → 120.16] And I think that's something you should think about when you're specking out your solar system for your house is what are you covering for?
[120.24 → 122.30] Are you covering for a couple of days of no power?
[122.46 → 124.64] Or do you really just need to cover for a couple of hours?
[125.18 → 128.02] And if it goes longer, maybe you could run a generator for an hour or two.
[128.48 → 133.50] I think I want to cover just the average daily low-level load of the house.
[133.50 → 134.94] I want to make the house more sustainable.
[134.94 → 141.08] So, you know, like just all the lighting, all the computers that are on in here, whatever that works out to be.
[141.76 → 146.28] My electric bill is normally in a sort of $100 to $120-ish range.
[146.36 → 147.32] So it's not too crazy.
[148.36 → 150.78] And for me, it's about sustainability.
[151.16 → 155.46] And I was watching a David Attenborough program, Our Perfect Planet, the other night.
[155.80 → 158.90] Beautiful 4K HDR on the LG OLED.
[159.28 → 161.52] Oh, it was magical to watch that thing.
[161.82 → 162.90] Streaming from the Plex server.
[163.28 → 163.60] Correct.
[163.60 → 165.30] Yeah, through the Nvidia shield.
[166.06 → 176.44] You can't help but watch these perfect planet things and be left with a sense of guilt about what humanity is doing to the planet and how we're consuming too many resources and stuff like that.
[176.58 → 189.10] So, you know, I think about how I might be in a position to do something about that as just an individual when in reality we need to, as a species, collectively actually affect change.
[189.10 → 191.66] But as an individual, there isn't much I can do.
[191.66 → 197.14] But reducing my use of fossil fuels, even by a little bit, feels like a good place to start.
[197.40 → 202.64] Yeah, I love the idea of even just offsetting the computers that run all the time.
[202.64 → 206.26] So, during the day, I've reached the point where all day long I'm running off the solar power.
[206.38 → 215.74] I'm bringing in more solar power than I am using, which is a great spot to be because that means my home server, all my stuff is being sustained by the sun.
[215.74 → 220.92] And I'd love to do a similar setup at the studio, a couple of panels on the roof.
[220.98 → 227.82] If I could just bring in, you know, 400 watts or so, I could probably cover most of my computer gear that's running 24-7.
[227.82 → 236.70] And, you know, I think about long-term, Alex, say even just 10 years, 15 years down the road, maybe the majority of cars or all cars sold will be electric.
[237.28 → 244.88] How does the grid in the United States, at least, handle that if we don't have some people offsetting their load with solar?
[245.02 → 252.94] It seems like long-term, the direction things are going between crypto mining and electric cars, there's going to be more demand on the grid than ever.
[252.94 → 260.12] So, being able to supplement a little bit might not only just be a nice thing to do for the environment, but also ensure that you have enough power to go around.
[260.78 → 261.50] Free Bitcoin, baby.
[262.06 → 262.24] Yep.
[262.34 → 263.36] Get that crypto going.
[263.94 → 266.10] And maybe, maybe spend your time learning.
[266.22 → 268.52] This episode is brought to you by the all-new A Cloud Guru.
