[1554.24 --> 1558.68] Right now, the major thing that I'm hosting is pydramble.com.
[1558.80 --> 1560.74] This has been a project since 2014.
[1560.94 --> 1561.88] I started doing it.
[1562.10 --> 1568.54] It was to see if I could host a Drupal site specifically, because I'm involved in the Drupal open source community.
[1569.10 --> 1578.10] If I could host Drupal in my house long term, and that site has had 99.997 or 8 uptime since 2014.
[1578.10 --> 1579.64] Running on Raspberry Pis.
[1579.74 --> 1581.20] Now, I cheated in 2016.
[1581.20 --> 1585.46] I switched to use Cloudflare as a front end, but the cache is only 30 minutes.
[1586.02 --> 1589.14] So if I do have a major outage, it will go down after 30 minutes.
[1589.42 --> 1590.66] So I don't think that's cheating.
[1590.74 --> 1591.64] That's just good engineering.
[1592.42 --> 1597.98] Yeah, well, I was getting tired of, you know, if my ISP goes down for two minutes, I would get a notification.
[1598.32 --> 1602.08] I was going to say, like, how have you managed to have ISP uptime that high at home?
[1602.22 --> 1603.46] That was the most impressive part.
[1603.58 --> 1605.96] Well, I've switched to in St. Louis.
[1605.96 --> 1607.80] Of course, we have spectrum, but...
[1607.80 --> 1608.48] Yeah, me too.
[1608.66 --> 1609.20] It sucks.
[1609.40 --> 1614.06] Yeah, it's difficult because the ISPs, they have a monopoly, basically.
[1614.30 --> 1619.58] And another fun thing that I'm going to be trying, I actually just got last week a Starlink.
[1619.84 --> 1620.28] Awesome.
[1620.28 --> 1622.58] And I'm going to be testing it out.
[1623.74 --> 1631.98] My ultimate goal is to have, either through the router, I have an ASUS router, either through that or maybe through a Raspberry Pi.
[1632.64 --> 1636.00] I'm also testing a router build using a Raspberry Pi compute module.
[1636.26 --> 1636.54] Of course.
[1636.54 --> 1642.84] Having a redundant link that will automatically fail over and possibly do link aggregation.
[1643.00 --> 1644.92] But for now, I just care about the redundancy.
[1645.38 --> 1647.22] Just because I do work from home.
[1647.50 --> 1648.06] I do streaming.
[1648.28 --> 1649.60] I do video uploads.
[1649.60 --> 1652.14] And I just, I need a lot of bandwidth and I need reliability.
[1652.14 --> 1656.14] And I do want to host more besides just the Pi Dramble site.
[1656.36 --> 1658.72] I want to host my personal site here at some point.
[1658.80 --> 1666.52] I want to host some other things that are more high impact and, you know, could survive an outage of one of the two network links, which Starlink could give me.
[1666.78 --> 1671.38] I don't think we've seen many people discussing hosting services on Starlink, either.
[1671.68 --> 1674.24] I'd be curious to see what they allow, what can get through.
[1674.90 --> 1675.60] Have you heard much?
[1676.10 --> 1677.38] It's a mixed story there.
[1677.48 --> 1680.10] So they don't give you a consistent IP address.
[1680.22 --> 1684.36] And they also don't, they don't pass through traffic in a way that you can host directly from home.
[1684.44 --> 1685.98] So I'd have to use some sort of proxy.
[1686.52 --> 1694.76] And I, you know, I can have a, one of the VPSs I have at DigitalOcean or something like that pass through the traffic for me.
[1695.12 --> 1695.22] Sure.
[1695.42 --> 1700.46] So give us an idea of what other, so I heard you have a, sounded like you're running Drupal on a Raspberry Pi server.
[1700.74 --> 1702.92] Any x86 boxes in that mix we'd see?
[1702.92 --> 1711.94] I do have one x86 server that mostly what it's doing is allowing me to RDP into it and do Windows things when I need to.
[1712.12 --> 1714.10] It's running Windows 10 Pro.
[1714.34 --> 1719.48] And I use it for a lot of network testing because it has a Mellanox card inside of it.
[1719.50 --> 1721.66] So I can get 10 gig network tests done on it.
[1722.20 --> 1724.80] Especially if it's a long test that's going to take a few hours.
[1724.94 --> 1727.44] I don't want to do it on my main workstation, which is a laptop.
[1727.88 --> 1730.04] Because then it's stuck wherever I have it running.
[1730.42 --> 1731.20] Yeah, I know that.
[1731.20 --> 1733.38] Like, why did I start that job on the laptop?
[1733.60 --> 1734.04] Dang it.
[1734.56 --> 1734.92] Exactly.
[1736.08 --> 1739.08] And then you have to come back downstairs later and find it.
[1739.64 --> 1746.02] And then the other things that I do, I have a couple PIs that run around the clock doing just little tasks around the house.
[1746.02 --> 1754.94] Checking on things, keeping track of temperature and like my sump pump, checking the level of the pit and just logging that data.
[1754.94 --> 1762.80] The other thing that I have running right now, and this is part of the motivation for all this Pi experimentation, is I have a 2011 Mac Mini.
[1763.32 --> 1764.06] Super old.
[1764.78 --> 1766.54] The OS is not even supported on it.
[1766.56 --> 1767.52] I can't upgrade it anymore.
[1767.98 --> 1771.84] It's still my primary network storage device, which is terrible.
[1771.84 --> 1777.68] Like, I've set up all these different NASAs and things, and I still am using this Mac Mini, which has USB 2.
[1778.00 --> 1784.74] So my external 12 terabyte single hard drive, not a RAID, my single hard drive is running at USB 2 speed.
[1784.86 --> 1789.78] So I'm doing file copies with, you know, 20 gigs, 40 gigs at 30 megabytes per second.
[1789.78 --> 1792.16] So this would be a bad time to ask you how many terabytes.
[1792.32 --> 1796.92] One of the questions we tend to ask all of our guests is how many terabytes do you have on your LAN?
[1796.96 --> 1800.18] And we had Wendell on a few months ago, and I think he had a petabyte.
[1800.62 --> 1803.48] So maybe you won't quite match that.
[1803.54 --> 1804.52] But how many do you have, Jeff?
[1804.72 --> 1805.44] No, no.
[1806.18 --> 1808.94] Online right now, I have about 24 terabytes.
[1809.36 --> 1813.26] But in the house, I have about 60 or so.
[1814.08 --> 1821.02] There's a lot of terabytes of hard drives that are sitting on my desk over there that are being tested and not in use.
[1821.12 --> 1825.76] Because when you're testing, you don't want to have production data on a hard drive you're running benchmarks against.
[1826.12 --> 1828.02] Ready to go in that NAS you were talking about.
[1828.58 --> 1829.40] Yes, yeah.
[1829.40 --> 1841.78] And the other thing that I mentioned on, I don't remember if it was a video or a live stream, but my goal is at some point in the next year, if I can get a storage vendor to work with me, I would love to build a petabyte Pi.
[1841.78 --> 1845.32] Have one Raspberry Pi controlling a petabyte of storage.
[1845.48 --> 1847.08] I think that would be something fun.
[1847.16 --> 1848.96] It'd be 400 megabytes per second.
[1849.50 --> 1852.22] It'd be such a waste, but it'd be so cool to see that.
[1852.60 --> 1854.72] Petabyte Pi project rolls off the tongue, too.
[1854.78 --> 1855.14] I like it.
[1855.22 --> 1855.92] It's bop, bop, bop.
[1856.20 --> 1856.60] Exactly.
[1856.96 --> 1859.60] Is a petabyte 1,000 or 100 terabytes?
[1859.70 --> 1860.36] I can never remember.
[1860.52 --> 1860.92] 1,000.
[1861.32 --> 1862.02] Oh, my goodness.
[1862.18 --> 1863.06] How would you even do that?
[1863.76 --> 1864.16] Wow.
[1864.54 --> 1864.68] Yeah.
[1864.86 --> 1866.62] You've got to get at least 100 hard drives.
[1866.62 --> 1870.48] So it would not be super fun to do the project.
[1870.68 --> 1871.76] I mean, it'd be super fun.
[1871.96 --> 1881.76] But the hardware, I would probably have to build a rack or something and figure out a place, maybe in my wood workshop or something, to try to fit that.
[1881.98 --> 1885.36] If you've got a 3D printer, you could probably rustle something up with one of those.
