[1300.30 --> 1304.16] and what I love about it is they've got pricing that makes that really accessible. |
[1304.36 --> 1307.48] So some systems, they start at just $5 a month. |
[1307.52 --> 1311.20] Other systems, they have a lot more options, like AMD Epic processors. |
[1311.54 --> 1314.28] We have one box that has 96 gigs of RAM, right? |
[1314.32 --> 1316.18] I mean, you can really max this stuff out. |
[1316.74 --> 1318.62] 48 CPU cores in that box. |
[1318.62 --> 1319.98] It's NVMe hard drives. |
[1320.48 --> 1321.06] They're great. |
[1321.16 --> 1323.68] And then, of course, they have 11 data centers for you to choose from. |
[1323.74 --> 1326.52] So you're going to find something close to you or your customers, |
[1326.66 --> 1327.58] depending on how you're doing it. |
[1327.80 --> 1329.04] They've also got a great dashboard. |
[1329.20 --> 1330.60] They've got the best support in the business. |
[1330.66 --> 1331.94] We hear that all the time. |
[1332.34 --> 1334.42] The other thing that we hear from the audience all the time is that |
[1334.42 --> 1337.98] they'll deploy themselves a server for just, like, their family, |
[1338.08 --> 1341.78] for, like, a gaming server or Nextcloud or Photos or whatever it might be. |
[1342.36 --> 1344.36] Recently, and I never really thought about doing this, |
[1344.36 --> 1348.50] but recently I heard from an audience member, he runs PyHole up on Linode, |
[1348.62 --> 1351.40] and then he points all of his systems to that, even his laptop and stuff |
[1351.40 --> 1352.52] and his family member's laptop. |
[1352.68 --> 1355.68] So when they're traveling, they're always using his DNS system, |
[1355.68 --> 1357.64] and they're getting the filtering up on Linode. |
[1357.64 --> 1358.80] That's great. |
[1359.02 --> 1361.76] And when you get $100, you can play around with stuff like that, |
[1361.94 --> 1364.10] see what sticks, see if the value's really there. |
[1364.24 --> 1366.88] And it's a great way to support the show and learn something. |
[1367.44 --> 1370.92] So go to linode.com slash SSH. |
[1371.06 --> 1373.84] You go there, you get that $100, you go deploy something, |
[1373.92 --> 1375.62] you go learn something, you support the show. |
[1375.98 --> 1376.68] It's a win-win. |
[1377.24 --> 1379.74] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[1379.74 --> 1384.16] Now, after my buddy Brent went home the other day, |
[1384.60 --> 1388.58] I was sat in my basement by myself, Billy No Mates, |
[1389.22 --> 1391.98] within earshot of my server, just doing some tinkering around, |
[1392.04 --> 1393.30] because we did some electrics down there, |
[1393.32 --> 1396.10] and I wanted to automate something that we'd put in |
[1396.10 --> 1397.98] with one of the Shelleys in a light switch. |
[1398.48 --> 1400.74] And I was sat next to my server, and I could just hear... |
[1402.26 --> 1405.24] Oh, no. |
[1405.50 --> 1406.52] And I was like, oh, no. |
[1407.18 --> 1407.84] Dead disk. |
[1408.28 --> 1409.88] Turns out it wasn't the cable, people. |
[1410.64 --> 1411.40] Oh, right. |
[1411.46 --> 1412.90] Last time you thought it was the cable. |
[1413.26 --> 1414.72] Oh, no, it really was going. |
[1414.96 --> 1415.98] It really was the drive. |
[1416.14 --> 1418.48] So quick trip to Best Buy the next morning, |
[1419.14 --> 1421.20] bought a new 14 terabyte easy store, |
[1421.32 --> 1422.78] ripped that bad boy out of the case, |
[1423.00 --> 1425.78] and it's now in my backup server doing my whole, like, |
[1426.44 --> 1429.76] pre-clear ritual testing burn-in thing. |
[1430.08 --> 1430.76] No data loss? |
[1430.76 --> 1433.22] No, luckily I was able to just copy all the data |
[1433.22 --> 1435.30] from the failing drive |
[1435.30 --> 1438.60] onto the rest of my MergerFS array. |
[1439.20 --> 1441.16] I actually had more than 10 terabytes free, |
[1441.28 --> 1441.92] so I was lucky. |
[1442.58 --> 1444.06] There, really, I could do that. |
[1444.18 --> 1445.44] I just removed it from the array |
[1445.44 --> 1447.20] and copied everything across with our sync. |
[1447.20 --> 1449.02] What do you think it would take |
[1449.02 --> 1451.52] for a new file system |
[1451.52 --> 1452.94] to work its way into your life, |
[1453.00 --> 1455.04] for you to find a new love for a file system? |
[1455.36 --> 1456.92] Just say hypothetically, like, |
[1456.98 --> 1458.10] BcacheFS comes out. |
[1458.46 --> 1459.42] It's so great. |
[1459.48 --> 1462.00] It's XFS meets ButterFS meets ZFS, |
[1462.28 --> 1464.24] and it's just next-level performance, too. |
[1464.78 --> 1465.90] What would it take for you to switch? |
[1465.98 --> 1467.66] Would it be a matter of years? |
[1468.32 --> 1470.30] Would it be something you'd start experimenting with |
[1470.30 --> 1471.10] sooner than later? |
[1471.10 --> 1474.94] I don't know as I have a need for anything new. |
[1475.22 --> 1477.04] My needs through MergerFS have been met |
[1477.04 --> 1478.56] so comprehensively. |
[1479.10 --> 1479.78] Back in the day, |
[1479.90 --> 1481.32] if you look at the Perfect Media Server |
[1481.32 --> 1482.80] kind of blog post series, |
[1482.98 --> 1485.26] you can kind of see my transition over the years |
[1485.26 --> 1489.60] from, I think it was AUFS to MHDDFS |
[1489.60 --> 1493.56] to MDRAID through ZFS even |
[1493.56 --> 1494.96] for actual media files, |
[1495.20 --> 1498.22] and then I ended up with just EXT4 and XFS |
[1498.22 --> 1501.24] on the drives themselves kind of bridged |
[1501.24 --> 1502.62] with MergerFS on top. |
[1503.22 --> 1505.58] It's just been so reliable for, what, |
[1505.68 --> 1506.56] six or seven years? |
[1506.66 --> 1508.34] I don't even know when I wrote that first post. |
[1508.42 --> 1509.22] It was a long time ago. |
[1509.92 --> 1510.42] I don't know. |
[1510.52 --> 1512.74] Like, I felt the need to add ZFS |
[1512.74 --> 1515.78] into the setup for data I truly care about, |
[1516.02 --> 1518.60] mostly for replication ease and stuff like that, |
[1518.98 --> 1520.44] but I've kind of solved that now |
[1520.44 --> 1522.20] with RESTIC as well. |
[1522.96 --> 1524.76] So I've got a couple of ways I back stuff up |
[1524.76 --> 1526.02] for the important data, |
[1526.02 --> 1528.18] but for media files that are write once, |
