[1757.04 --> 1758.10] It was low powered.
[1758.10 --> 1765.02] Minio, as tiny as it is, it's much more resource heavy than I would expect it to be.
[1765.80 --> 1768.70] So should we talk a little bit about some of your favorite self-hosted apps?
[1769.00 --> 1769.72] Top three, maybe?
[1770.22 --> 1777.36] Oh, so I'd have to say the one I definitely use the most is TTRSS, which is an RSS reader,
[1777.56 --> 1778.90] my RSS reader of choice.
[1778.90 --> 1783.82] I do most of my content consumption via RSS.
[1784.16 --> 1790.56] All of my YouTube consumption is entirely via RSS because YouTube's algorithms and suggestions
[1790.56 --> 1793.60] and things like that are just, quite frankly, terrible.
[1794.12 --> 1794.56] That's amazing.
[1794.68 --> 1799.52] I think more people should do this because I watched a film the other night called The Social
[1799.52 --> 1805.70] Dilemma, which talks about how insidious those algorithms are in controlling what you see
[1805.70 --> 1809.80] and what you, eventually what you think and what you believe, you know, the ultimate conclusion.
[1810.44 --> 1815.04] If anybody's on the fence as to whether, you know, Facebook and Google and Twitter and
[1815.04 --> 1820.38] what have you are forces for good in the world or not, I recommend watching The Social Dilemma.
[1820.58 --> 1821.44] It might change your mind.
[1821.86 --> 1822.82] Anyway, as you were.
[1823.32 --> 1825.14] That's definitely one for my watch list as well.
[1825.14 --> 1829.08] Yeah, so TTRSS is definitely way up there.
[1829.32 --> 1830.58] What clients do you use for that?
[1830.70 --> 1833.72] I actually just entirely use the web UI mostly.
[1834.10 --> 1834.50] Cool.
[1834.72 --> 1836.10] It's easy and it works.
[1836.52 --> 1840.42] Other than TTRSS, I would have to say NextCloud is currently quite far up there.
[1840.94 --> 1844.38] That's been a really nice tool for just accessing files.
[1845.00 --> 1848.78] It's a little bit heavy for my needs, but it is, the plugins are great.
[1848.98 --> 1850.82] It's fast enough.
[1850.82 --> 1855.20] And the sync clients, when they work, they work really, really well.
[1855.44 --> 1858.50] See, everybody always says this, like, oh, the sync's a bit hit and miss.
[1858.54 --> 1861.56] And I know, Chris, you've had some actual experience with it losing data for you.
[1861.64 --> 1865.74] But I've used it now for, I guess, three years solid.
[1866.02 --> 1868.80] And it's just, NextCloud's just been really, really reliable for me.
[1868.80 --> 1871.08] So I've only had two issues with it.
[1871.16 --> 1875.12] One is that it doesn't do partial syncs.
[1875.26 --> 1880.90] So if you modify a small part in a very large file, it will sync the entirety of the large file.
[1881.38 --> 1891.82] I don't deal with large files, but I suspect if you guys are pushing around very large MP3s or uncompressed media, yeah, then it can be really, really slow.
[1891.94 --> 1897.84] The other issue I've had, or I did have, which I haven't had in a while, is it would keep forgetting who I am.
[1897.84 --> 1899.26] Oh, no big deal, right?
[1899.62 --> 1901.84] I know who I am, but it just forgets.
[1902.56 --> 1908.76] And it gets very difficult to sync anything if it just forgets who you are.
[1909.10 --> 1910.60] It just keeps logging me out.
[1910.80 --> 1919.16] I'd love to see them add LAN sync, too, because that's a fantastic feature when you power up a laptop and it hasn't been on the internet for maybe a week or more.
[1919.50 --> 1926.42] If you can sync from other nodes on the network directly, it's way faster and it reduces the demand on your internet connection.
[1926.42 --> 1928.40] I love that feature about Dropbox.
[1928.72 --> 1939.86] Also, I think Dropbox has some intelligence about the order in which they sync files and what operations sync first versus what operations can be queued, where NextCloud's CSync subsystem doesn't seem to support that.
[1939.86 --> 1947.70] So we've had situations where the NextCloud server is kind of like processing and syncing down some directory cleanup that we've done.
[1948.52 --> 1952.36] And maybe it's a significant amount of like just reorganizing or something.
[1952.36 --> 1963.88] And the client has to process all of those changes and operate all of those file system operations before it will process the sync command to send the new files up to the server.
[1964.30 --> 1968.84] And so we've literally just had editors on the other side waiting for files.
[1968.84 --> 1971.56] And so that stunk.
[1971.66 --> 1973.50] But what we did is we just changed the way we operate.
[1973.62 --> 1977.28] We don't make those kinds of changes on any kind of show day anymore.
[1977.64 --> 1980.74] We wait and we make sure we do it like with a couple of day buffer.
[1980.88 --> 1982.48] And we've adjusted the way we operate.
[1982.70 --> 1983.76] And we've made it work now.
[1983.82 --> 1986.46] We've been using it for, I mean, I don't know.
[1986.64 --> 1987.42] Alex, do you remember?
[1987.62 --> 1990.30] Since the sprint in 2019, right?
[1990.54 --> 1991.78] Yeah, since I appeared.
[1992.02 --> 1992.48] Yeah, roughly.
[1992.84 --> 1993.42] Yeah, right.
[1993.42 --> 1995.30] Since we brainstormed and started this show.
[1996.78 --> 1998.54] So and it's been running.
[1998.82 --> 1999.68] But yeah, it isn't ideal.
[1999.96 --> 2001.36] So what's your last pick then?
[2001.70 --> 2011.20] It's a project I've been involved with a little bit in sort of contributing and writing content for, which is probably also going to be a bit of a sore subject for some people.
[2011.20 --> 2013.16] It's an application called Plausible.
[2013.92 --> 2018.10] Plausible is a self-hosted Google Analytics alternative.
[2018.68 --> 2020.24] It's backed by a company.
[2020.72 --> 2022.18] There's a hosted offering.
[2022.18 --> 2024.04] It's really, really nice.
[2024.14 --> 2025.76] The UI is beautiful.
[2026.48 --> 2028.58] It's fully GDPR compliant.
[2028.72 --> 2033.22] So it only tracks the data that it needs to do to do its job.
[2033.28 --> 2036.24] It doesn't track things around various other places.
[2036.24 --> 2037.74] It's entirely self-hosted.
[2037.86 --> 2042.22] So I run my own instance, which tracks my own websites.
[2042.38 --> 2043.94] It doesn't track anything else.
[2044.58 --> 2051.58] And what that means is I can see which pages are getting the most traction, which ones aren't, where people are coming from.
[2051.58 --> 2053.30] And that's about it.
[2053.30 --> 2054.60] That looks great.
[2054.84 --> 2055.82] Yeah, really nice.
[2056.20 --> 2057.00] It's really nice.
[2057.10 --> 2069.28] I highly recommend it to anyone that's got a website, especially if they're running Google Analytics and want to sort of take back some of their control from Google and various other companies like that.
[2069.28 --> 2070.34] Uh-oh, ding dong.
[2070.42 --> 2071.00] You said it.
[2071.54 --> 2072.62] Take back control.
[2072.86 --> 2074.28] That's a trigger phrase for me.
[2076.02 --> 2077.16] Something, something Brexit.
[2077.64 --> 2077.96] Anyway.
[2077.96 --> 2082.72] Says the guy who's immigrated to the States to the guy who's still over there.
[2082.88 --> 2083.28] Incredible.
[2083.96 --> 2084.32] Uh-oh.
[2084.54 --> 2084.88] Uh-oh.
[2085.02 --> 2085.42] Awkward.
[2085.94 --> 2087.90] One final question for you there, Jake.
[2088.00 --> 2090.22] And it's the one that everybody's been waiting for.
[2090.58 --> 2092.88] It's the how many terabytes on your land question.
[2093.26 --> 2093.62] Oh, yeah.
[2094.18 --> 2097.24] Oh, so this is going to be an interesting one.
