[2097.24 --> 2102.02] I'm going for the opposite record to what people are probably expecting.
[2102.70 --> 2106.58] To have from guests on here, I'm going for the lowest result possible.
[2107.08 --> 2110.70] So my current pool has four terabytes in.
[2110.98 --> 2111.32] Wow.
[2111.32 --> 2115.44] I love this idea because why the headache if you don't need it, right?
[2115.92 --> 2118.54] It's two four terabyte Seagate drives.
[2118.68 --> 2121.46] They've been working pretty well for my use case.
[2121.56 --> 2124.12] There's only 200 gig on the pool.
[2124.60 --> 2126.64] So I've got ample storage space.
[2126.78 --> 2128.84] I've got ample space to grow.
[2129.66 --> 2131.36] It's been working absolutely flawlessly.
[2131.56 --> 2137.54] There is an additional single six terabyte drive, which currently houses all of my media.
[2137.54 --> 2144.66] I need to get that into a pool of some kind as quick as possible because I can see Alex's face physically pained as I say that.
[2145.10 --> 2146.00] Perfectmediaserver.com.
[2146.14 --> 2147.32] Yeah, I know where to go.
[2147.76 --> 2155.86] It's MergerFS, SnapRaid are two things reasonably high up on my list of things to do when I get a free second.
[2156.42 --> 2160.82] But yeah, four terabytes is exactly just about enough for my needs.
[2161.02 --> 2164.60] And I don't really have any intention of growing that anytime soon.
[2164.60 --> 2167.22] So I'm sticking right here at the bottom of the list so far.
[2167.54 --> 2168.94] Okay, well, there's no shame in that.
[2169.02 --> 2172.26] I mean, you could be like the Michael Gambon of terabytes, huh?
[2172.98 --> 2176.88] That's an old Top Gear reference for some people that don't know what I'm talking about.
[2177.26 --> 2179.28] So thanks very much for coming on, Jake.
[2179.30 --> 2180.40] It was really nice to talk to you.
[2180.58 --> 2187.22] And please let us know from the audience if, number one, you would like to be one of these community spotlights that we're going to do.
[2187.60 --> 2190.18] What you thought of the segment, let us know as well.
[2190.18 --> 2192.34] If it's something you'd like to see us do more of, let us know.
[2192.70 --> 2196.06] If it's something you didn't like, well, maybe keep that opinion to yourself.
[2196.38 --> 2196.48] Wow.
[2196.48 --> 2199.36] Is there anywhere else you'd like to send people, Jake?
[2199.46 --> 2202.66] You know, Twitter or your personal blog that I know you write a lot of?
[2202.92 --> 2206.48] Yeah, I believe you described me as a, quote, prolific blogger.
[2206.76 --> 2210.20] And many people who hang out on the Discord know I write quite a lot.
[2210.52 --> 2215.36] My website is theorangeone.net, which I'm sure will be in the show notes.
[2215.36 --> 2221.54] My Twitter account as well is at realorangeone, which I suspect as well will be in the show notes.
[2221.54 --> 2222.40] Well, Jake, thank you.
[2222.40 --> 2226.28] A quick thank you to CloudGuru for sponsoring this episode.
[2226.50 --> 2230.02] And I'd like you to know about their PowerShell Core for Linux admins course.
[2230.26 --> 2234.80] It's an intermediate level course, and it teaches you the concepts of using PowerShell Core with Linux.
[2235.00 --> 2238.10] This could be game-changing if you're in a multi-platform environment.
[2238.10 --> 2248.26] And the course includes, of course, administration, installing Docker, working with the SQL server, even managing Azure instances, as well as integrating it all with Visual Studio code.
[2248.58 --> 2251.54] There's a lot there, so you'll have to click the link in our show notes.
[2251.54 --> 2257.62] That'll be at selfhosted.show slash 42, and you'll see the PowerShell Core for Linux admins course.
[2257.86 --> 2260.02] And thanks to a Cloud Guru for sponsoring this episode.
[2261.70 --> 2266.32] And, of course, a big thanks to our members over at selfhosted.show slash sre.
[2266.58 --> 2269.60] You can go there to support the show and get a limited ad feed.
[2269.78 --> 2274.02] We often talk as well in the post-show about some little knickknacks in our lives and things that are going on.

[2277.66 --> 2279.46] Yeah, selfhosted.show slash sre.
[2279.46 --> 2283.38] And you can also find the contact page at selfhosted.show slash contact.

[2285.36 --> 2286.44] I'm on Twitter as well.
[2286.50 --> 2287.12] You can get me there.
[2287.20 --> 2288.38] I'm at ChrisLAS.
[2288.92 --> 2290.38] And I'm there at Ironic Badger.
[2290.54 --> 2292.64] And don't forget the show at selfhostedshow.
[2293.06 --> 2294.42] So thanks for listening, everyone.
[2294.58 --> 2296.76] That was selfhosted.show slash 42.
