[269.26 --> 270.06] We'll let it go.
[270.54 --> 274.10] I want to buy one more Golf, and that is the Mark 4.
[274.10 --> 277.60] The Mark 4 R32 in that beautiful blue color.
[277.60 --> 278.78] You know the one.
[278.98 --> 279.68] You know the one.
[279.98 --> 284.58] It's got the VR6 engine in it, so it sounds like a Wookiee when it goes.
[284.92 --> 287.66] I think also my son Dylan, who wants that to be his first car?
[288.20 --> 288.72] He's been looking.
[289.40 --> 290.30] He's already looking.
[290.42 --> 291.18] Can you believe that?
[291.28 --> 292.28] It's a beautiful car.
[292.48 --> 293.36] You went down there.
[293.36 --> 295.78] You claimed your prize again.
[295.98 --> 299.30] You found your one true car love, and then you drove it home.
[299.38 --> 301.24] It's kind of a romantic story in a way.
[301.56 --> 305.02] I had to go to Tampa to get it, but, you know, Tampa's weird.
[305.48 --> 306.48] I'll just say that up front.
[306.74 --> 310.70] Like, no disrespect to anybody that lives there, but, you know, some of the people that spoke
[310.70 --> 312.78] to me were peculiar.
[315.66 --> 318.02] All right, shall I take you up on your segue offer now?
[318.14 --> 319.88] Yeah, yeah, I still offer it up.
[320.30 --> 323.46] UK Meetup is still provisionally happening.
[324.12 --> 327.54] However, over the weekend, American Airlines emailed me to say,
[328.12 --> 330.46] hey, Mr. Kretschmer, we've changed your flight.
[330.64 --> 332.34] Good news, it's earlier.
[332.56 --> 337.36] And I'm like, that's not good news, because what we planned was to do the meetup on the
[337.36 --> 339.84] Saturday and then fly home immediately on the Sunday.
[339.84 --> 345.28] So that, you know, if we got sick or anything like that, there'd be no problems with re-entry
[345.28 --> 346.10] or anything like that.
[346.20 --> 350.60] So I don't really want to compromise on that by having the meetup, you know, a week earlier
[350.60 --> 352.90] or anything like that, you know, for obvious reasons.
[352.90 --> 354.78] I don't want to be stuck in the UK.
[354.78 --> 356.50] That would just be horrendous.
[356.54 --> 357.42] Who could put up with that?
[358.56 --> 362.86] So what I'm thinking at this point is we'll probably end up moving it to the Friday night.
[362.86 --> 364.76] So that'll be Friday the 5th of August.
[365.34 --> 369.14] I would implore you to keep an eye on the meetup page, meetup.com.
[369.14 --> 374.16] slash Jupiter Broadcasting for all the details as they happen in real time.
[374.72 --> 377.08] You know, venue, dates, all that kind of stuff.
[377.14 --> 378.32] It's all still up in the air right now.
[378.34 --> 381.42] So please don't book anything until we say it's confirmed.
[382.10 --> 382.12] Yeah.
[382.22 --> 385.32] So keep an eye out there if you are planning to attend, because there will be an update
[385.32 --> 387.68] soon as Alex gets everything sorted out.
[389.04 --> 389.98] Sorry to hear that, man.
[390.14 --> 392.24] It's happening to a lot of people right now with the travel stuff.
[392.24 --> 395.06] It's just sort of the situation I think the airlines are in.
[395.06 --> 395.50] Yeah.
[395.80 --> 401.00] It's a problem with Raleigh as an airport, I think, because it only gets one direct flight
[401.00 --> 401.48] a day.
[402.16 --> 408.40] And if for any reason that flight, you know, the equipment's not available or cruise or
[408.40 --> 411.46] I know it's a bit far out to be worrying about that, I would have thought if you're American,
[411.62 --> 412.72] but I guess not.
[413.16 --> 414.18] Thank you for the update.
[414.26 --> 417.36] Even if it is sort of it's the good news is the meetup goes on.
[417.56 --> 420.76] It's just the date's going to have to adjust and the location will likely have to adjust.
[420.76 --> 421.54] All right.
[421.56 --> 422.28] Well, let's shift gears.
[422.46 --> 426.38] We've talked before about this trend of small command line utilities becoming web apps,
[426.46 --> 429.82] and we've covered scrutiny back in, what was it, Alex?
[430.10 --> 430.84] 28-ish?
[431.04 --> 432.00] Episode 28, yeah.
[432.16 --> 432.46] All right.
[432.50 --> 433.30] Give us an update, sir.
[433.94 --> 439.26] Well, those of you that remember that far back, episode 28, we talked about a hard drive
[439.26 --> 441.72] monitoring utility called Scrutiny.
[442.30 --> 446.62] The developer, AnalogJ, was talking about GitHub sponsors at the time and how if he got enough,
[446.68 --> 447.72] he was going to open source it.
[448.06 --> 448.90] That happened.
[448.90 --> 450.56] And so he open sourced the project.
[451.38 --> 458.66] Some time has elapsed since then, and he has just released a new big update, version 0.4.
[459.02 --> 460.70] It looks really good, too.
[460.82 --> 465.90] You wouldn't think there's so much to get out of a tool like this, but if you have a setup
[465.90 --> 469.88] with several disks in it, like we have three servers here at the studio that have a ton
[469.88 --> 471.66] of disks in them, this is really handy.
[472.12 --> 472.82] It is, actually.
[473.14 --> 478.44] One of the things I love about open source is how people like this developer show up in
[478.44 --> 483.26] our Discord and say, hey, guys, I'm doing a beta test on this new feature.
[483.36 --> 485.50] Can I have some people to just try this out for me?
[485.52 --> 490.12] And he was actually in our storage channel talking to people in the Discord for the last
[490.12 --> 492.16] week or two ahead of this release.
[492.42 --> 497.98] So what he's done is he's added InfluxDB support, which has lots of really nice features,
[498.24 --> 503.38] the biggest of which is that it now has automatic data downsampling support.
[503.38 --> 507.86] So what that means in English is rather than having minute-by-minute updates of your hard
[507.86 --> 513.72] drive stats for 10 years, which am I going to look at minute-by-minute stats of my hard
[513.72 --> 515.12] drives five years ago?
[515.30 --> 516.72] No, probably not.
[517.36 --> 523.56] And so with the data downsampling, he can significantly reduce the size of the databases, and obviously
[523.56 --> 526.56] that then increases performance and everything else that goes with it.
[526.56 --> 532.22] So one of my other favorite features in this release is he has made the thresholds that
[532.22 --> 537.04] he's using against the Backblaze database, which is what's underpinning his failure thresholds,
[537.04 --> 539.14] he's made those thresholds tweakable.
[539.26 --> 544.10] So if you see a parameter in there that you think, yeah, that says failed, but actually
[544.10 --> 547.26] I trust that particular parameter, whatever it might be.
[547.70 --> 552.78] You know, CRC cable errors, for example, might trigger a failure in scrutiny that actually
[552.78 --> 555.04] I know was just a bad cable that I've swapped out.
[555.04 --> 559.04] So that's slick, and it's such a great use of that Backblaze data as well, to give you
[559.04 --> 564.42] a baseline to know, are these numbers, are these normal, or is this a problem?
[565.00 --> 565.56] That's pretty great.
[566.10 --> 567.68] Will you get that loaded on our servers here?
