[1096.74 --> 1098.54] You could load those suckers up and send them off. |
[1098.72 --> 1099.06] Absolutely. |
[1099.22 --> 1099.38] Yeah. |
[1099.72 --> 1101.42] Now, pricing is pretty straightforward. |
[1101.54 --> 1103.04] It's 10 bucks a month per drive. |
[1103.04 --> 1112.42] So if you can go on Best Buy and find one of their easy stores on a cheap deal, you could have, you know, a 14 terabyte drive for $200. |
[1113.34 --> 1117.02] Load that sucker up with all of your data, send it off to this data center. |
[1117.42 --> 1120.48] And for 10 bucks a month, you've got 14 terabytes of cloud storage. |
[1120.94 --> 1122.80] You know, that is doable for what I do here. |
[1122.94 --> 1123.24] Right? |
[1123.52 --> 1124.24] It's one of those things. |
[1124.32 --> 1126.44] You sort of read the website and you're like, where's the catch? |
[1126.48 --> 1127.28] There's got to be a catch. |
[1127.82 --> 1130.88] I was actually speaking with Ryan, who's the guy behind ZFS.rent. |
[1130.88 --> 1133.70] And I'm hoping to get him on the show to do an interview shortly. |
[1133.90 --> 1135.42] But he seems like a really great guy. |
[1135.66 --> 1143.80] And honestly, I have no qualms about recommending this service, even just as a, hey, guys, you know, audience, did you know this is a cool thing existed? |
[1144.36 --> 1144.38] Yeah. |
[1144.50 --> 1144.68] Nope. |
[1144.72 --> 1146.98] No sponsor, no relationship of any kind. |
[1147.00 --> 1148.28] It's just something we came across. |
[1148.76 --> 1153.46] Each plan includes one terabyte of base bandwidth data movement per month. |
[1153.46 --> 1156.74] They don't distinguish between upload or download. |
[1156.84 --> 1158.06] A terabyte is a terabyte. |
[1158.52 --> 1163.58] They have a rate of an additional $5 per terabyte after that, which is actually pretty reasonable. |
[1164.54 --> 1170.02] If I'm uploading more than a terabyte in a month, my ISP is probably knocking on my door. |
[1170.52 --> 1175.84] I would imagine the time where you would actually need to exceed a terabyte is the initial seeding. |
[1176.10 --> 1182.02] Well, we can get around that by sending them the drive preceded or in a disaster recovery scenario. |
[1182.02 --> 1191.20] And if I'm at the point where I need to download 14 terabytes of data from my backup, I think I can probably swing, you know, the hundred bucks or whatever it is to get that. |
[1191.52 --> 1196.08] That's just what I was thinking is that's really the only time it would be costly is when you're actually pulling it all back down. |
[1196.22 --> 1201.84] I wonder if they would do that, although you wouldn't really want to wait, but I guess they could maybe reload a disk. |
[1201.92 --> 1203.88] You could send them the disk and they could reload it up. |
[1205.10 --> 1206.88] Now, did you see this on their homepage? |
[1207.72 --> 1207.84] What? |
[1207.84 --> 1210.88] Users have a choice of from OSes. |
[1211.22 --> 1216.54] CentOS, with maintenance support until 2029, crossed out to 2021. |
[1217.62 --> 1218.82] Oh, too soon. |
[1218.98 --> 1221.16] Also, Ubuntu and Debian. |
[1221.98 --> 1228.30] But here's where I thought it got super interesting is, as an Arch guy, no pre-installed OS. |
[1228.30 --> 1238.24] You can attach your own Linux ISO to the KVM virtual machine and install via a tunneled VNC client any OS that you want. |
[1239.08 --> 1240.20] That's adorable. |
[1240.96 --> 1243.28] That's a really great setup. |
[1243.28 --> 1252.18] They also do support Debian 10.7 out of the box and Ubuntu 20.04 until 2025, which is honestly what I would just do. |
[1253.14 --> 1254.42] I think it's too. |
[1254.72 --> 1258.80] It's so great that they left the 2029 on there and crossed it out. |
[1258.90 --> 1260.10] Like, that's such a statement. |
[1260.86 --> 1261.16] Yeah. |
[1261.16 --> 1266.36] I've actually just deployed my first CentOS 8 stream box in production. |
[1266.66 --> 1272.68] We're doing a small, limited Jupyter Colony mail server for like a handful of people right now. |
[1273.08 --> 1275.62] And it's all running on CentOS 8 stream. |
[1275.98 --> 1277.16] Look at you, you hipster. |
[1277.44 --> 1277.70] Yeah. |
[1277.88 --> 1281.22] So I'm going to give it a go and see how it is to run a mail server. |
[1281.66 --> 1282.76] I'll report back. |
[1282.76 --> 1285.46] I suspect there's going to be crappy aspects to it. |
[1287.96 --> 1294.70] This episode is brought to you by Synology, makers of network attached storage devices, networking and surveillance equipment. |
[1295.18 --> 1303.20] In late 2020, they released the DS1621 Plus, a six bay NAS unit with a four core, eight thread Ryzen CPU. |
[1303.92 --> 1308.42] As a result, this system runs cool and quiet whilst being a powerhouse under the hood. |
[1308.42 --> 1314.16] And if you need it, there's a PCIe slot for add in cards such as 10 gigabit networking as well. |
[1314.86 --> 1319.62] What really sets Synology units apart from their competition for me, though, is their level of fit and finish. |
[1320.08 --> 1324.26] Their enclosures are beautiful and their software is really great as well. |
[1324.56 --> 1327.14] I'm talking about their disk station management software. |
[1327.96 --> 1330.80] DSM is like using a desktop session inside a browser. |
[1331.10 --> 1333.30] It's really cool if you haven't seen it. |
[1333.30 --> 1338.42] And we've got a link for a live demo for you at selfhosted.show slash Synology. |
[1339.04 --> 1344.72] This simple and intuitive UI is perfect for those just getting started on their self hosting journey. |
[1344.94 --> 1347.28] I've used Synology now for many years. |
[1347.40 --> 1350.58] I still can't quite believe how they pulled this off in a browser. |
[1351.32 --> 1358.92] You can also find tons of apps available in their built in store, as well as community provided repos and more recently Docker support. |
[1358.92 --> 1363.68] With this Docker support, you can run darn near anything you like on these boxes. |
[1364.28 --> 1368.66] And remember that with that Ryzen chip, you've got full x86 compatibility. |
[1368.66 --> 1371.36] So there's no ARM weirdness going on here. |
[1372.10 --> 1380.08] To find out more about Synology and their other NAS products, visit selfhosted.show slash Synology so that they know we sent you and to support the show. |
[1380.20 --> 1382.98] A big thanks to Synology for sponsoring our show. |
[1384.84 --> 1388.66] Synology wanted us to actually have a chance to try out some of their hardware. |
[1388.66 --> 1390.70] And so we thought we'd share our thoughts with you. |
[1390.76 --> 1395.04] And they sent a DS1621 Plus to Alex to kick the tires. |
[1395.46 --> 1396.54] They did indeed, yes. |
[1396.66 --> 1400.50] So I am the proud recipient of a Ryzen-powered NAS. |
[1400.70 --> 1401.50] That's pretty neat. |
[1401.84 --> 1404.66] That left me thinking, how do I go about reviewing a NAS? |
[1404.76 --> 1409.34] Because it's, you know, it's something you just throw files on and forget about for the next few years. |
[1409.52 --> 1413.12] And when I hear Ryzen, I think it probably has a fair amount of CPU power in that thing. |
[1413.48 --> 1414.80] This is one of their embedded chips. |
[1414.88 --> 1416.66] This is the Ryzen V1500B. |
[1416.66 --> 1421.88] It's a 4-core, 2.2GHz, 8-thread CPU. |
[1422.74 --> 1427.60] And it supports up to 32GB of ECC memory, which is pretty nice. |
[1428.04 --> 1434.84] The motherboard built into the Synology also has a couple of NVMe slots, which I thought was particularly interesting. |
[1434.84 --> 1442.62] And one of the things, actually, that I was most disappointed about with the COBOL, you know, the Helios 64, was that it was a 5-bay NAS. |
[1443.28 --> 1448.44] But if you used the NVMe slot that came with it, you turned it into a 4-bay NAS. |
[1448.52 --> 1449.76] Well, there's none of that going on here. |
[1449.84 --> 1455.78] This remains to be a 6-bay NAS with two extra PCIe NVMe slots as well. |
[1455.78 --> 1460.00] So you can fit effectively eight drives in this thing, which is great. |
[1460.66 --> 1461.00] That's great. |
[1461.06 --> 1461.58] Yeah, that is. |
[1461.86 --> 1465.02] Now, the fit and finish really is next level on this thing. |
[1465.12 --> 1470.36] Within five minutes of taking it out of the box, I had the drive cages removed. |
[1470.36 --> 1478.94] With the tool-less, hot-swappable drive cages they have, I had the drives installed, put them into the enclosure. |
[1479.34 --> 1484.92] One important thing to note is that you must populate the first drive slot with a drive. |
[1485.06 --> 1487.28] And if you don't, the Synology will fail to boot. |
