[702.88 --> 708.28] storage and networking. It's even turned a lot into self-hosting stuff at home to people. You know, |
[708.28 --> 713.52] I, I say it too, they, they've kind of coalesced and sometimes I'll, you know, I'll say, Hey, |
[713.52 --> 718.22] yeah, I'm self like the website. I'm, I'm self hosting it in my home lab, but you know, |
[718.28 --> 722.52] it's more than a lab then at that point, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's borderline. |
[722.76 --> 727.18] Just make sure when you're tinkering, you don't take Plex down because the wife will come and find |
[727.18 --> 731.20] you. Oh yeah. Plex or DNS. Yep. That's I hear faster than my alerts. |
[732.46 --> 735.46] It's true. How do I know the wifi is off the kids are shouting? |
[735.60 --> 738.04] That's right. That's right. Oh, Plex must be done. |
[738.96 --> 743.06] Yeah. It's, it, it, it's so many things to so many different people. So it's really hard for me to, |
[743.06 --> 747.66] to kind of summarize it. Cause to me, it means something different, but, and to someone else, |
[747.70 --> 751.64] it means, you know, something different. But for me, for a long time, it's been just a place where |
[751.64 --> 756.72] I can spin up stuff and test stuff and tear it down without the fear of destroying, you know, |
[756.74 --> 761.58] the company's production. And a lot of times, if you work at a big company, you don't have access to |
[761.58 --> 766.46] a lot of this stuff, either security wise or physically, you don't have access to a lot of the |
[766.46 --> 771.62] tools. And then on top of that, a lot of the times the architecture is just, you know, |
[771.62 --> 774.92] decided before you get there. So you're just implementing stuff. |
[775.64 --> 778.06] Deleting a production VPC is a rite of passage though. |
[778.14 --> 783.72] That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Our work, sometimes Kafka accidentally gets deleted in our lower |
[783.72 --> 784.20] environments. |
[784.44 --> 788.70] But the worst thing I've ever done, I don't think I've ever said this on air, is I deleted a |
[788.70 --> 789.70] production load balancer. |
[789.92 --> 790.54] Oh yeah. |
[790.62 --> 795.58] And I didn't know what I'd done at the time. And then suddenly all the senior developers came |
[795.58 --> 799.52] out of the break room and were like, why are all of our alerts firing? I'm like, |
[800.00 --> 804.18] I was working on the load balancer. Oops. |
[805.28 --> 809.80] I've been there before where you're like, I did just make a change, but I hope it wasn't that. |
[810.38 --> 816.50] Yes. We made some changes to the CI process after that. So, I mean, you could say that Alex's screw |
[816.50 --> 818.90] up saved the company money in the long run. |
[818.98 --> 821.76] There you go. Yeah. Yeah. I'll take it. I'll take it. |
[821.76 --> 826.96] Yeah. No, I mean, you, you raise another good point. Like I think a home lab, it means different |
[826.96 --> 832.08] things to different people, much like DevOps does, I suppose. I mean, to me, a home lab |
[832.08 --> 839.44] is, I don't have a set, I mean, I suppose I do because I didn't sell the dual Xeon box |
[839.44 --> 845.04] I retired a year ago yet, but really a home lab should be separate from any kind of production |
[845.04 --> 849.74] services, you know, and I use the term production loosely at home. Although maybe it's not that |
[849.74 --> 854.22] loose because I have stuff like home assistant now and Plex, as we talked about, and a bunch |
[854.22 --> 858.00] of other stuff that I actually do rely on, you know, home assistant particularly to, to |
[858.00 --> 864.18] run multiple facets of, of my house. So a home lab to me at least is something, a space |
[864.18 --> 870.80] that I can just break stuff and it doesn't matter. And, uh, you can come all different |
[870.80 --> 875.90] shapes and sizes, right? I mean, I mentioned I had a dual Xeon box that I could use as mine. |
[875.90 --> 881.22] People use Raspberry Pis or other stuff. Oh, uh, anything. I mean, people are using old |
[881.22 --> 886.86] broken laptops without a screen. Uh, some people are using, uh, old PCs. My, my recommendation |
[886.86 --> 892.36] most of the time when people say, um, um, I want to build a home lab is, well, just upgrade |
[892.36 --> 896.84] your current PC. So you get an upgrade, you know, and on the machine you use the most and |
[896.84 --> 900.30] use the one that's sitting over there for your home lab, you know, have that be your first |
[900.30 --> 903.80] one. And you get two for one, you get two for one, you get an upgrade on your main machine. |
[903.80 --> 908.08] Then you get a pretty nice machine for your home lab. And that's probably going to outperform a lot |
[908.08 --> 911.52] of the things that you would, you would buy otherwise, you know, or spend a lot on. |
[911.92 --> 917.56] I was just thinking about upgrading, you know, consumer grade gear. And the thing that runs out |
[917.56 --> 922.90] first in a home lab scenario always is memory. You always run out of Ram first. And, you know, |
[922.94 --> 927.34] you think about using an old laptop because it's got a built-in screen, a built-in keyboard, |
[927.46 --> 931.68] a battery for as a UPS, that kind of stuff. But it can typically only have 16, |
[931.68 --> 936.68] maybe 24 gigs of Ram if you're lucky. Yeah. That's not enough to do a whole bunch with. |
[936.96 --> 940.80] Yeah, no. But a lot of people getting into it are just getting started. You know, |
[940.84 --> 946.08] it might be enough to run a hypervisor, you know, three, four Linux virtual machines and |
[946.08 --> 950.42] enough to kind of tinker with something else, you know, and not destroying their own production |
[950.42 --> 956.82] machine. But, you know, it spans the gamut. There's used enterprise gear. Some of my old PCs |
[956.82 --> 961.96] got converted into rack mount PCs and now they're in my server rack, you know, all the way to new |
[961.96 --> 966.66] enterprise, which I've even bought before. Super micro servers sometimes are pretty affordable. |
[967.08 --> 970.98] But then, yeah, all the way down to Raspberry Pis too. I have four or five of those. So it's, |
[971.22 --> 978.40] I, you know, I generally think it can be any computing device, I think, can be used mostly |
[978.40 --> 985.92] in a lot of the same ways. Now over at wiki.selfhosted.show, we have an SS8 guest storage |
[985.92 --> 991.18] leaderboard. At the top of the list, we've got Wendell with a petabyte who's clearly just showing |
[991.18 --> 997.78] off and nobody's going to touch that. But I have to ask you, Tim, how many terabytes do you have |
[997.78 --> 1006.28] on your LAN of raw storage? Oh, good question. I have a lot of RAM. My disk shelf alone has 40 terabytes. |
[1006.28 --> 1010.16] I forgot you had that disk shelf. I mean, there's one, there's one of your videos, |
[1010.30 --> 1015.72] goes back about a year or so now, I think, where you do an amazing job of taking us through all the |
[1015.72 --> 1020.16] different boxes you have in your rack. And you've even got some pretty cool LED lighting in that |
[1020.16 --> 1024.50] server room, if I recall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, it's, it's, yeah, it's pretty wild. It's similar to, |
[1024.58 --> 1029.70] it's overkill, but it looks cool. Yeah, it is. It is. You know, when I first started making content, |
[1029.84 --> 1033.30] a lot of gamers were doing it. And I, you know, I play games too. And I thought, |
[1033.30 --> 1037.64] we can't let all the gamers have fun. People with servers can have fun too. And |
[1037.64 --> 1041.92] RGBs is how they have fun. No. Tim, it'll see any video game I need, baby. |
[1042.14 --> 1048.96] Yeah, that's right. That's right. Or the, uh, uh, Chrome, the, the dinosaur when you're offline. |
[1050.24 --> 1054.78] But, uh, yeah, I think I'll, I'll stick with 40 terabytes. I mean, I, I know I have, you know, |
[1054.78 --> 1061.54] a handful in desktops around here and Macs and laptops, but it's, I can account for 40 right off the |
[1061.54 --> 1065.98] top of my head. There's no way I'm getting close to a petabyte. I'm sure Geerling, Geerling is there |
[1065.98 --> 1071.16] now too as a petabyte. That's right. With this petabyte pie project. My goodness. That was a |
[1071.16 --> 1075.28] cool video. It was. Yeah. Incredible. Incredible. But yeah, I can't touch those. |
[1077.50 --> 1083.52] Linode.com slash SSH. Go there to get a $100 60 day credit on a new account and support the show. |
[1084.30 --> 1087.82] Linode has been rolling out upgrades to NVMe storage on their rigs recently, |
[1087.82 --> 1093.08] which offers much greater performance density or IOPS per gigabyte than traditional storage. |
[1093.60 --> 1097.34] If you're a performance hound or your application needs that level of storage throughput, |
[1097.84 --> 1101.68] Linode's team can help you sort through the possibilities for accessing the power of NVMe |
[1101.68 --> 1105.20] and arriving at the optimal storage configuration for your environment. |
[1106.06 --> 1111.50] The Linode support experience truly is one of the most remarkable things about Linode as a company. |
[1111.82 --> 1116.46] No matter what time, what day it is, you can open a ticket with Linode and know that they'll |
[1116.46 --> 1120.42] take care of you. No matter how silly you've been, whether you've decided to try and install |
[1120.42 --> 1125.78] your own custom operating system on one of their nodes that is not supported, they'll still try and |
[1125.78 --> 1131.10] help you. I can't imagine opening a ticket with some of the other big hyperscalers asking how I'd go |
[1131.10 --> 1137.24] ahead and install some random distro and actually get a coherent reply from a human. Linode's been doing |
[1137.24 --> 1142.96] this for a long time, 18 years in fact, and they just keep getting better. Go try it for real and |
[1142.96 --> 1149.76] see for yourself at linode.com slash SSH. Linode makes it simple, affordable and accessible to deploy and |
[1149.76 --> 1155.64] manage your customers' projects in the cloud. Linode also has an easy to use and powerful cloud dashboard |
[1155.64 --> 1162.38] with S3 compatible object storage, bare metal servers, cloud firewalls, DDoS protection and so much more. |
[1163.04 --> 1169.04] In fact, we use Nextcloud here at the network to run the backend for all of our show storage. So when our editors |
[1169.04 --> 1173.74] need our files, for example, they'll go and pull it down from Nextcloud. And that's backed by Linode's |
[1173.74 --> 1179.80] fantastic S3 object storage. It just means as an administrator of a Nextcloud server, I don't have |
[1179.80 --> 1185.18] to worry about how much disk space is free. I just know that Nextcloud can go and create a new object |
[1185.18 --> 1191.22] in the bucket and we're all good. And with pricing 30 to 50% cheaper than the other major cloud providers, |
[1191.84 --> 1197.22] Linode can be part of your multi-cloud strategy. Use our $100 credit to performance test your network |
