[2285.02 --> 2290.82] We don't have any plans really to make it a regular feature, mostly because Chris,
[2290.94 --> 2293.18] you don't really know much about 3D printing.
[2293.68 --> 2296.78] So I suppose if I ever got one, we'd talk about it, right?
[2297.08 --> 2299.02] You can almost see a whole different show, really.
[2299.08 --> 2300.36] It could be its own show, really.
[2300.60 --> 2301.98] It could, absolutely, yeah.
[2302.06 --> 2303.42] I mean, who knows?
[2303.48 --> 2308.44] We've floated the idea of doing self-hosted weekly for so long now that I don't think it's ever going to happen.
[2308.60 --> 2308.94] Who knows?
[2309.10 --> 2309.58] Who knows?
[2309.72 --> 2310.52] Watch this space.
[2310.64 --> 2311.08] We'll see.
[2311.08 --> 2314.36] Yeah, maybe if we get a few more boosts.
[2314.98 --> 2320.20] But in the off weeks, for example, there could be space for like a show about maker stuff,
[2320.36 --> 2322.90] you know, electronics and 3D printing and that kind of stuff.
[2323.40 --> 2327.78] If you're interested in that kind of thing, give us an idea of how many people that listen to this show
[2327.78 --> 2331.94] would find that interesting because it would be a lot of work to spin up a whole new show,
[2332.04 --> 2333.80] but we're not averse to the idea.
[2333.80 --> 2337.98] I think we'd also be interested if somebody is pretty deep into the stuff and they feel passionate about it
[2337.98 --> 2339.22] and feel like they could present it.
[2339.40 --> 2339.68] Yes.
[2339.86 --> 2341.54] I think we'd be interested to hear from that person as well.
[2341.76 --> 2342.08] Absolutely.
[2342.64 --> 2344.82] You know, maybe we build a show around a host at some point.
[2345.70 --> 2350.08] Turquoise Fox boosted in seven days ago with 2,349 sats.
[2350.16 --> 2351.60] I feel like that's meaningful.
[2351.72 --> 2353.28] It's a very specific 2349.
[2354.16 --> 2359.16] And he's just sharing some UK meetup hype, which we've got a lot of that.
[2359.42 --> 2360.08] What, what?
[2360.08 --> 2361.60] I'd, yeah, yeah.
[2362.20 --> 2366.78] But as I, as I look at the meetup page right now, there's 59 people have accepted.
[2367.10 --> 2371.12] So I know I'm going to change the date on, so that might, that might fluctuate a little,
[2371.34 --> 2374.50] but be interesting to see how many people show up.
[2374.62 --> 2376.40] You've been throwing some parties recently, Alex.
[2376.46 --> 2377.52] You've been throwing some parties.
[2377.72 --> 2378.26] I know.
[2378.82 --> 2379.14] I know.
[2379.18 --> 2381.30] I need to slow down and, you know, chill.
[2382.90 --> 2384.64] Marcel's calling you out seven days ago.
[2384.74 --> 2385.86] One, two, three, four sats.
[2385.86 --> 2390.06] Alex, weren't you just criticizing bundled containers in a recent episode?
[2390.48 --> 2393.32] This is a reference to last week's, or last two weeks episode.
[2393.68 --> 2401.22] So Marcel, my friend, my wonderful pal, there is a difference between a monolithic bastard
[2401.22 --> 2405.42] of a container like GitLab that pulls down six gigabytes of RAM.
[2405.64 --> 2407.04] And I think they've changed it now.
[2407.14 --> 2409.42] I don't think that container exists, someone told me.
[2409.60 --> 2410.34] I haven't checked.
[2410.34 --> 2415.90] But anyway, there's a difference between that kind of bundled container that's running 8,000
[2415.90 --> 2423.38] services in one container and a self-hosted recipes app running a small web server and
[2423.38 --> 2424.80] the application itself.
[2424.90 --> 2428.12] Two services versus 8 million.
[2428.12 --> 2431.98] For me, I think it's a pretty obvious.
[2432.32 --> 2433.54] It's not a hard law.
[2433.68 --> 2436.98] It's just one that has to be interpreted depending on the application and how many things it's
[2436.98 --> 2437.34] bundling.
[2437.72 --> 2442.52] Our last official message, our boost, our last boostergram, I guess you could call it, came
[2442.52 --> 2447.64] in from the Golden Dragon seven days ago, like he always does with a row of ducks.
[2447.64 --> 2450.02] And he says, pew, pew.
[2450.48 --> 2451.30] Thanks for the show.
[2451.92 --> 2453.62] I've been listening since episode one.
[2454.20 --> 2455.52] I've started learning self-hosting.
[2455.60 --> 2457.90] I've gotten brave enough to try Jellyfin.
[2458.06 --> 2460.32] And when it works, it works very well.
[2460.72 --> 2462.14] The learning experience has been great.
[2462.18 --> 2463.86] And I learn more and more each episode.
[2464.10 --> 2466.54] I will have to give the recipe apps a try as well.
[2467.00 --> 2473.76] One question I had was, are there any Wi-Fi enabled e-ink displays that you know of?
[2474.44 --> 2475.32] Great question.
[2475.32 --> 2478.72] I would love to have a wall-mounted e-ink display for home assistance.
[2479.46 --> 2480.94] Yes, but they're expensive.
[2481.94 --> 2487.02] So there's a bunch of e-ink screens by a company called WaveShare, and they will plug directly
[2487.02 --> 2488.06] into a Raspberry Pi.
[2488.42 --> 2494.44] But to give you an idea, a seven and a half inch e-ink display on its own without the Raspberry
[2494.44 --> 2497.90] Pi, which is unobtainium right now, of course, is $70.
[2498.62 --> 2502.50] And for that, you could buy a tablet.
[2502.50 --> 2506.50] But I mean, if it's plugged into a Raspberry Pi, it has to be powered anyway.
[2506.88 --> 2509.36] It's not going to be on a battery, which is where e-ink would win.
[2510.38 --> 2516.60] Now, you can get e-ink displays that will connect into ESP devices, like an ESP32 or something
[2516.60 --> 2518.70] like that, and refresh those.
[2518.70 --> 2522.02] Because obviously, an e-ink display only uses power when it updates.
[2522.22 --> 2526.36] When it's sat there, you know, displaying whatever it's displaying, it's not using any energy
[2526.36 --> 2527.14] whatsoever.
[2527.64 --> 2530.70] So for that use case, e-ink is uniquely brilliant.
[2531.22 --> 2536.92] But for almost every use case I can think of where I want a permanent screen, there would
[2536.92 --> 2537.92] be power available.
[2537.92 --> 2543.08] Even if there isn't power all the time, an Android tablet has a battery, and it's probably
[2543.08 --> 2545.60] going to have like five, six hours of battery life.
[2545.90 --> 2552.18] So I know this because there are times when we're out boondocking, and I unplug the tablets
[2552.18 --> 2554.04] to let the batteries drain down too.
[2554.12 --> 2556.52] But when I plug them in, I'm monitoring how much power draw they are.
[2556.58 --> 2558.70] And it's totally nothing, right?
[2558.78 --> 2560.30] It's just nothing.
[2561.00 --> 2563.52] So yeah, you could get even lower with an e-ink display.
[2563.64 --> 2564.66] I would love to see that.
[2564.66 --> 2565.20] I don't know.
[2565.66 --> 2569.66] Let us know what you would use that display for, Golden Dragon, because I could picture
[2569.66 --> 2573.72] it, but maybe only for like status update type things, weather reports, things that don't
[2573.72 --> 2574.64] change very often.
[2575.12 --> 2580.14] I'm still using that Kindle Fire that I flash with Lineage OS as a baby monitor at the moment.
[2580.48 --> 2586.12] We run the Wyze cams as our baby monitor, because that means we can have, you know, as many baby
