[1925.56 --> 1931.08] And if you want to spin up an extra work or anything like that, like, it's just a mess. |
[1931.16 --> 1932.72] And I really hate that way of doing things. |
[1932.80 --> 1936.20] And the Unify controller and Plex is kind of the same, right? |
[1936.24 --> 1938.30] It has a database built into it. |
[1938.30 --> 1947.42] And actually, if you're thinking about it, it would be nice if Plex had a separate database container that lives somewhere else that I could back up and version independently of Plex itself. |
[1947.42 --> 1961.46] And that's one of the things I liked about Plausible is that because it has so many containers, you've got that queuing engine, the click house thing I talked about that operates in a similar kind of space to Redis that basically takes all the requests in in real time. |
[1961.78 --> 1963.96] Its only job is to listen and receive stuff. |
[1964.52 --> 1968.80] And then Plausible has workers that goes and processes those requests in real time. |
[1968.80 --> 1974.04] Now, a poorly architected application would only have one container doing that. |
[1974.18 --> 1977.86] And it would ingest all of that stuff into the primary container. |
[1978.22 --> 1984.10] And then when that queue or that buffer or whatever it is gets full, the container would start to slow down. |
[1984.20 --> 1985.28] It might have a memory leak. |
[1985.32 --> 1986.10] It might crash. |
[1986.28 --> 1987.38] All that kind of stuff. |
[1987.38 --> 1994.48] But by having the queue somewhere else, you leave Plausible itself as this controlled environment. |
[1994.82 --> 1998.20] And it's able to not fall into that same trap as a lot of other applications do. |
[1998.76 --> 2002.10] Also, the data store being an external Postgres database. |
[2002.58 --> 2003.80] I have no problem with that. |
[2004.16 --> 2006.38] Yeah, no, I don't have an issue with databases being separate. |
[2006.50 --> 2007.50] I just, I don't know. |
[2007.78 --> 2011.66] When I start seeing that many containers, it just becomes frustrating for me to have to manage. |
[2012.04 --> 2013.10] No, I get it. |
[2013.16 --> 2014.52] It puts you off, doesn't it? |
[2014.52 --> 2020.32] You sort of look at this thing and you go, I can grok and understand this in three seconds if it's one or two containers. |
[2020.32 --> 2026.16] But if it starts to get to three or four or five or more, you're like, eh, I'll do it next time. |
[2026.70 --> 2027.36] Yeah, exactly. |
[2027.66 --> 2028.04] Exactly. |
[2028.50 --> 2029.64] That's sort of my line too. |
[2029.64 --> 2037.54] My last question on it, Alex, really is, did you notice much in terms of load time difference on the sites after you put it on there? |
[2037.60 --> 2042.80] Because, you know, you toss a little bit of JavaScript in the header essentially and then you're off to the races. |
[2042.80 --> 2046.40] Did you try benchmarking or at least refresh and see if it seemed any slower? |
[2046.50 --> 2048.46] Because I've also experienced that. |
[2048.56 --> 2053.84] I used to use a locally hosted analytics software that actually slowed the website down so we had to bail on it. |
[2054.34 --> 2058.36] I personally didn't notice any difference and that's totally anecdotal. |
[2058.90 --> 2066.90] But I run Privacy Badger anyway, so I don't have a lot of Google Analytics and a lot of JavaScript running anyway. |
[2066.90 --> 2074.38] What I will say is on the Plausible website, you know, take this with a grain of salt, they say that their script is 45 times smaller than Google Analytics. |
[2075.26 --> 2076.46] Smaller tends to be faster. |
[2077.04 --> 2088.86] Yeah, and they reckon that because it's so much smaller, a site with 10,000 monthly visitors will save four and a half kilos of CO2 emissions per year simply by switching to Plausible. |
[2089.02 --> 2091.02] So do your bit for the planet, people. |
[2091.46 --> 2091.78] Right. |
[2092.16 --> 2093.90] Drop Google to save the planet. |
[2093.90 --> 2100.74] Tailscale.com slash self-hosted. |
[2100.86 --> 2104.74] Go there to get a free personal account for up to 20 devices and you support the show. |
[2105.26 --> 2107.28] Tailscale is a zero config VPN. |
[2107.50 --> 2114.04] It installs on any device, manages your firewall rules, gets you going in just seconds from anywhere. |
[2114.56 --> 2117.80] Devices connect directly to each other using WireGuard's noise protocol. |
[2118.04 --> 2122.08] So you build a mesh network using the best VPN security in the business. |
[2122.08 --> 2124.38] It really changes the game. |
[2124.54 --> 2131.54] I have to say, too, I was really excited this morning to see that they just raised $100 million in Series B funding. |
[2132.18 --> 2133.88] And here's what they said about it. |
[2133.98 --> 2134.76] Why they do this? |
[2134.80 --> 2136.26] Because they're paranoid, they say. |
[2136.80 --> 2139.86] This isn't their first rodeo and we don't know where the economy or the market might go. |
[2140.30 --> 2144.20] And we don't want to be pressured into juicing our growth numbers beyond where they belong. |
[2144.72 --> 2147.06] We don't want to put revenue ahead of quality. |
[2147.06 --> 2150.94] Man, it really shows in their product, too. |
[2151.62 --> 2155.74] You know, you have a flat network where you get a static IP address for every device you care about. |
[2155.84 --> 2157.34] You can assign them a DNS name. |
[2157.84 --> 2159.04] It's always connected. |
[2159.18 --> 2160.00] They're always encrypted. |
[2160.90 --> 2163.52] It even works with double carrier NAT. |
[2163.72 --> 2165.30] It is fantastic. |
[2166.06 --> 2168.10] And I opened a support ticket with them recently. |
[2168.54 --> 2171.58] I exceeded my number of subnet routers that I'm allowed. |
[2171.70 --> 2174.42] They have a soft limit of one per free account. |
[2174.42 --> 2175.82] I had three. |
[2176.12 --> 2178.28] So, you know, three times what the soft limit is. |
[2178.76 --> 2184.86] And it says you are encouraged to upgrade your account if you exceed for a length of time. |
[2185.42 --> 2186.50] These are only soft limits. |
[2186.56 --> 2186.90] Don't worry. |
[2187.06 --> 2188.16] We won't enforce them. |
[2188.24 --> 2189.56] But you're encouraged to upgrade. |
[2189.98 --> 2194.04] So I sent in a support ticket saying, hey, which tier should I be on? |
[2194.26 --> 2197.14] You know, I kind of want to give you some money because I think you're awesome. |
[2197.92 --> 2200.36] And they wrote back and said, no, it's OK. |
[2200.72 --> 2201.80] Just tell people about us. |
[2201.88 --> 2202.22] It's cool. |
[2202.22 --> 2206.16] They've also written a blog post about how they've built a sustainable infrastructure. |
[2206.80 --> 2209.46] So listeners of our show might be really interested in that. |
[2209.68 --> 2213.74] And it goes into their whole philosophy about making this thing work for the long haul. |
[2213.94 --> 2216.52] And I am so grateful because it's changed the way I work. |
[2216.70 --> 2218.80] And it changes the way I do tech support with my family. |
[2219.10 --> 2220.44] It makes it when I'm remote. |
[2220.88 --> 2222.64] It makes it so seamless now. |
[2223.36 --> 2226.86] Go check it out and support the show and get it for free for up to 20 devices. |
[2227.46 --> 2230.60] It's tailscale.com slash self-hosted. |
[2230.60 --> 2235.02] Alex, we've been having a few adventures. |
[2235.26 --> 2236.72] Why don't you tell us a story? |
[2237.04 --> 2239.28] Well, I took Brent down to my basement the other day. |
[2240.40 --> 2241.84] He still has all those limbs. |
[2242.02 --> 2242.48] It's OK. |
[2243.28 --> 2249.44] I think they're all still intact anyway, because one of my hard drives has been dropping off the SATA bus this week. |
[2249.44 --> 2251.02] I didn't know why. |
[2251.48 --> 2252.94] And so we went down and took a look at this thing. |
[2253.18 --> 2255.70] And I think I did this maybe two or three months ago. |
[2255.78 --> 2259.34] I took the cable out and then put the cable back in. |
[2259.52 --> 2262.40] And it worked perfectly for another two to three months. |
[2262.54 --> 2262.74] Oh, yeah. |
[2262.74 --> 2264.00] That's what I've been doing with my machine here. |
[2264.24 --> 2265.50] You guys are awful. |
