[1554.28 --> 1554.50] Right.
[1554.56 --> 1554.90] That's what.
[1555.08 --> 1556.82] So I think that's a good goal.
[1557.18 --> 1566.14] I would also be really interested to know what people are using for that, because I feel like I've probably got a few family members I should document things for, not to mention the wife.
[1567.20 --> 1567.94] So let us know.
[1569.62 --> 1571.74] Linode.com slash SSH.
[1571.74 --> 1575.34] Go there to get $100 in 60 day credit on a new account.
[1575.62 --> 1577.48] And it's just a great way to support the show.
[1578.00 --> 1579.12] Linode is the Geeks Cloud.
[1579.24 --> 1583.32] It's the DIY Geeks Cloud with 11 data centers worldwide.
[1583.68 --> 1588.26] They got something close to you, a client, a family member, whatever you're trying to do.
[1588.64 --> 1594.06] They've been hard at work for nearly 19 years, creating the best experience for running things in the cloud.
[1594.72 --> 1598.48] If you want to build it yourself from the ground up, their support is there for you.
[1598.54 --> 1600.08] They'll understand what you're talking about.
[1600.08 --> 1602.06] That's huge in our space.
[1602.50 --> 1607.94] But if you're still new and you're just trying to get experience, they've also got a lot of really nice one click stacks.
[1608.38 --> 1609.44] You hit the button.
[1610.06 --> 1611.66] Linode deploys it for you.
[1611.86 --> 1614.02] And of course, the performance is always incredible.
[1614.12 --> 1615.36] That's one of the things I love about it.
[1616.06 --> 1618.00] Their reliability is unmatched.
[1618.00 --> 1620.98] They have built out and own their own network.
[1621.48 --> 1626.42] I mean, really, nobody does it like Linode because you'd have to have been around for nearly 19 years.
[1627.20 --> 1630.18] I wouldn't host all of JB's stuff on there unless I felt nobody did it better.
[1630.40 --> 1630.76] Seriously.
[1631.42 --> 1634.52] I think you're going to really enjoy it when you get that $100 and you kick the tires.
[1634.62 --> 1636.66] So go to linode.com slash SSH.
[1636.80 --> 1637.32] Check them out.
[1637.82 --> 1639.88] They've been rolling out new NVMe storage.
[1639.88 --> 1641.68] They got database as a service.
[1641.90 --> 1652.38] If you are done with running a Postgres or a MongoDB or a MySQL database and you just want to have somebody else as an expert run it and manage it and back it up and take care of it and love on it for you, they'll do that.
[1652.80 --> 1654.14] They got a great dashboard.
[1654.40 --> 1656.64] Their object storage is super cool.
[1656.88 --> 1659.26] Like, use that as your own backup strategy, guys.
[1659.44 --> 1662.60] Go check out the object storage and connect it to a backup tool.
[1663.02 --> 1665.04] You're really going to be cooking with gas then.
[1665.04 --> 1668.78] That's a really great way to get some good, solid off-site backups.
[1669.46 --> 1670.74] It's a great way to use that $100 too.
[1670.84 --> 1673.00] So go to linode.com slash SSH.
[1673.30 --> 1678.10] For the best customer support, super fast rigs, great networking, and a Linux culture that runs deep.
[1678.94 --> 1680.42] Well, there's a lot of reasons to choose Linode.
[1680.50 --> 1681.42] So go put it over the top.
[1681.98 --> 1683.36] Get that $100 and support the show.
[1683.94 --> 1686.56] Linode.com slash SSH.
[1687.98 --> 1690.58] My daughter helped me this morning clean out the server.
[1690.68 --> 1692.82] It hasn't been powered on for about four months.
[1692.82 --> 1695.56] And before that, I don't think it's had a proper cleaning.
[1695.76 --> 1697.60] And certainly since I was here last September.
[1697.60 --> 1700.86] But some of the fans looked a little bit more crusty than that.
[1701.04 --> 1705.76] So we're outside on the patio with a little paintbrush, you know, dusting out the fans.
[1705.76 --> 1708.36] And she was helping, you know, like kids do.
[1709.06 --> 1713.42] Which got me thinking about different, you know, the hard drives that are in there and things like that.
[1714.10 --> 1719.32] And I just want to underscore the importance of directed airflow to the audience right now.
[1719.32 --> 1724.58] So my server here is in a fractal define R5 case.
[1725.08 --> 1731.68] And it was missing just one of the five and a quarter inch blanking plates on the front of the CD-ROM drives.
[1731.74 --> 1732.34] There's two of them.
[1733.08 --> 1734.20] So it was missing one of those.
[1734.26 --> 1736.76] And it's got two, I think they're 120s.
[1736.80 --> 1741.00] They might be 140 mil fans directly underneath to pull air in at the front of the case.
[1742.26 --> 1745.58] Last night, the hard drives were running at about 50 Celsius.
[1745.58 --> 1748.30] And this is in an ambient temperature of about 24 Celsius.
[1749.56 --> 1751.08] So they were running pretty warm.
[1752.02 --> 1758.28] And so I thought this morning, I'll just make a little blanking plate out of some duct tape and some cardboard and stick it over that little hole at the front.
[1758.90 --> 1762.86] Just doing that lowered the drive temps by 11 Celsius.
[1763.20 --> 1764.10] I couldn't believe it.
[1764.50 --> 1765.88] That's way more than I would expect.
[1766.56 --> 1767.24] Jeez, man.
[1767.30 --> 1770.38] I come to think of it, I've got a bad airflow situation right now with my hard drives.
[1770.46 --> 1771.78] I have the case cracked at the moment.
[1771.86 --> 1772.62] That's probably not good.
[1772.62 --> 1773.94] Yeah, just a little thing.
[1774.00 --> 1776.58] And I didn't expect it to make such a difference either.
[1777.12 --> 1787.78] But I think it just goes to show that with hard drives, you've got to have the airflow directed in just the right way so it's actually going across them and not doing any kind of weird turbulence stuff.
[1788.20 --> 1794.48] Anyway, speaking of hard drives, did you see this Backblaze latest hard drive blog post that came out?
[1795.08 --> 1795.48] Indeed.
[1795.60 --> 1797.00] I love this post.
[1797.00 --> 1801.16] They've been doing this like forever now, since 2013.
[1801.16 --> 1803.62] They select 10 drive models.
[1803.84 --> 1808.70] And then they, of course, have a ton of data like smart metrics and whatnot.
[1808.86 --> 1822.58] And they look at different models and different size ranges, 4 terabytes, 8 terabytes, 12 terabytes, and now 14 terabytes to see what kind of reliability data that they can find.
[1823.04 --> 1829.78] And I always kind of find this a little stress-inducing, I have to be honest with you.
[1829.78 --> 1840.06] But like anything these days, it seems to me that there's only two, maybe three companies, if we're being generous, involved in what is a global market.
[1840.42 --> 1844.28] You know, we were actually sat having dinner the other day looking around on the table.
[1844.58 --> 1850.62] And I made a joke that I bet you on this table there were like five or six different companies worth of condiments.
[1850.62 --> 1854.02] And I said, I bet you there's only two or three companies behind all these different things.
[1854.54 --> 1855.52] Turned out it was two.
[1855.90 --> 1858.12] It was Nestle and some other company I'd never heard of.
[1858.48 --> 1863.24] But Nestle have so many subsidiaries that you just, you can't even fathom.
[1863.40 --> 1865.98] They are just so unbelievably huge.
[1865.98 --> 1869.68] And the same factors are at play in the hard drive market.
[1869.78 --> 1871.96] So you've got Seagate and Western Digital.
[1872.44 --> 1881.60] And over the years, those two companies have swallowed up everybody else, including Hitachi Global Storage Tech, HGST, Toshiba.
[1881.80 --> 1883.60] Samsung used to have a hard drive division.
[1883.76 --> 1884.64] There were loads of others.
[1884.64 --> 1896.98] And so quite often on the Internet, people will get into slinging wars about PlayStation versus Xbox or Apple Mac versus PC or Linux versus Windows.
[1897.70 --> 1899.92] And the hard drives are absolutely no different.
[1900.08 --> 1902.22] People are some people swear by Seagate.
[1902.34 --> 1905.14] Some people swear by Western Digital.
[1905.14 --> 1911.92] And I think what this blog post just goes to show is that the entire Internet's full of shit.
[1911.92 --> 1921.80] Yeah, and like they even dig into how even some drives that are labeled a Western Digital on the outside are actually an HGST on the inside.
