[2738.20 --> 2742.62] And I think it's like $5 a month, which is like our best deal on the network right now.
[2743.06 --> 2746.96] Selfhosted.show slash SRE and get additional content.
[2747.64 --> 2748.50] Best deal for the best show.
[2748.66 --> 2749.08] Dang right.
[2750.74 --> 2753.70] Now, you just launched jupitergarage.com, didn't you?
[2753.70 --> 2757.18] Man, you and I, I know you have the same problem.
[2757.32 --> 2758.22] Way too much gear.
[2758.64 --> 2759.70] Stuff's all over the place.
[2759.80 --> 2763.22] So jupitergarage.com, we've been selling off some things that we have in the studio.
[2763.52 --> 2766.66] Plus, I've kind of mixed it with some original stuff in there.
[2767.32 --> 2777.16] And you and I were talking about it, and we were thinking now that you've got a different NAS situation, maybe we ought to put the Helio 64 in the garage sale.
[2777.58 --> 2777.74] Yeah.
[2777.98 --> 2779.44] Well, I'm not really using it for anything.
[2779.64 --> 2783.12] So I figured I'll save someone else having to wait for it to be delivered.
[2783.12 --> 2788.20] So we'll put it on there for a good price, and it'll go live on Monday, which will be April the 26th.
[2788.46 --> 2789.84] Yeah, jupitergarage.com.
[2789.96 --> 2792.96] I just sold the free NAS that I used to have here in the studio.
[2793.52 --> 2794.44] I sold it for $200.
[2795.14 --> 2796.26] Man, that is a steal.
[2796.82 --> 2797.32] Yeah, it is.
[2797.42 --> 2801.38] You know, in some part, it's just because I don't – this gear's just been sitting around anyways.
[2801.80 --> 2803.94] So it's not like I'm doing anything with it.
[2804.06 --> 2806.42] Might as well go to a home with somebody in the audience.
[2806.54 --> 2808.10] That just seems like kind of awesome, you know.
[2808.10 --> 2812.38] So, yeah, the Helio 64, it will probably go pretty fast.
[2813.04 --> 2820.30] So maybe we should say Monday a.m. Seattle time just to kind of give people an expectation.
[2820.64 --> 2820.96] Absolutely.
[2821.44 --> 2822.80] All right, jupitergarage.com.
[2822.90 --> 2826.20] Also, you can find our sponsor, Cloud Guru, on social media.
[2826.36 --> 2826.82] It's simple.
[2826.92 --> 2829.22] They're just slash a Cloud Guru everywhere.
[2829.22 --> 2834.22] And if you're looking for all the different ways to subscribe to the show, you can go to selfhosted.show slash subscribe.

[2836.92 --> 2839.32] Yeah, I'm there too, at Chris L-A-S.
[2839.46 --> 2842.80] And the whole show right here, this show, this one, at Self Hosted Show.
[2843.00 --> 2843.46] This show?
[2843.80 --> 2844.26] Which show?
[2844.48 --> 2844.90] This show?
[2845.00 --> 2845.48] The whole show?
[2845.74 --> 2846.56] This one, yeah.
[2846.90 --> 2847.84] No, the whole thing.
[2848.04 --> 2851.82] It's all there in just the hundred and whatever it is characters now, 200 and whatever.
[2852.18 --> 2855.16] Actually, it's really just a good resource to get show announcements and news.
[2855.44 --> 2857.04] And maybe send us questions, I suppose.
