[2351.04 --> 2352.60] The Z-Wave network is working great. |
[2353.44 --> 2356.46] He says he got them on sale for Labor Day for $24 each. |
[2356.92 --> 2357.12] Nice. |
[2357.38 --> 2358.36] What a score. |
[2359.14 --> 2359.98] What a score. |
[2360.62 --> 2360.86] All right. |
[2360.88 --> 2362.02] That's definitely something to check out. |
[2362.06 --> 2363.32] He says, thank you. |
[2363.54 --> 2364.66] And he loves the show. |
[2364.76 --> 2365.80] Well, thanks, Dr. Pepper Shaker. |
[2366.18 --> 2366.86] We love that tip. |
[2366.86 --> 2368.88] Yeah, they're on at $28 right now. |
[2368.98 --> 2374.90] So, I mean, even outside of the sale, they're not particularly expensive compared to, say, |
[2375.00 --> 2378.98] a Shelly or something like that, which is typically in that, you know, for the Shelly 2.5, |
[2379.06 --> 2381.10] it's typically in that $25 range anyway. |
[2382.06 --> 2383.66] But these look really, really interesting. |
[2383.78 --> 2385.82] And they get fantastic reviews. |
[2386.16 --> 2389.14] And a friend of mine actually moved house last weekend. |
[2389.14 --> 2395.00] And one of the jobs that we went around to help him with was pulling out all of his old Shelly's out of the walls. |
[2395.38 --> 2399.62] And putting Shelly's in is not difficult. |
[2400.14 --> 2406.46] But it is also really difficult trying to reverse engineer which wire goes where and what's a traveler and blah, blah, blah, blah. |
[2406.46 --> 2415.14] Trying to reverse engineer the Shelly's when you take them out in someone else's house is also just as much of a pain in the ass as well. |
[2415.14 --> 2424.58] So, I think smart switches with the smarts built into them versus a Shelly is something I really think I need to investigate strongly moving forward. |
[2424.84 --> 2426.02] That makes a lot of sense. |
[2426.20 --> 2426.98] It seems you're right. |
[2427.06 --> 2434.62] I had not given a lot of thought about removing them because, honestly, if I was going to sell a house, I'd just leave them in there and say it's part of the package. |
[2434.94 --> 2438.26] But no, dude, no one else cares about your smart home stuff. |
[2438.26 --> 2442.86] And if you've got, you know, 15, 20 of these things, that's, you know, $400 or $500. |
[2443.50 --> 2444.98] Why would I leave that for someone else? |
[2445.46 --> 2446.36] They're never going to use it. |
[2446.40 --> 2447.26] They're never going to set it up. |
[2447.34 --> 2448.46] It doesn't add any value to them. |
[2448.50 --> 2449.32] It just adds complexity. |
[2449.44 --> 2452.22] It's probably a negative for most people, unfortunately. |
[2452.76 --> 2457.60] When was the last time you moved into a house and took the light switches apart just to see what was behind them? |
[2457.74 --> 2458.28] Like, never. |
[2458.38 --> 2460.90] Oh, you always find some surprise in my experience. |
[2461.16 --> 2462.24] Yeah, that's true. |
[2462.26 --> 2463.18] You guys are just adding to that. |
[2463.44 --> 2463.96] That's true. |
[2463.96 --> 2464.36] Yeah. |
[2464.36 --> 2470.34] But building it into the switch does seem a lot simpler from an installation, a removal, troubleshooting if it dies. |
[2471.08 --> 2472.18] That's a great point. |
[2473.30 --> 2473.72] All right. |
[2474.04 --> 2475.78] Another check in the box for Z-Wave. |
[2476.00 --> 2480.58] We keep, now that I've committed to switching to Zigbee, we keep finding all these awesome Z-Wave devices. |
[2481.10 --> 2482.12] I'm going to have both. |
[2482.24 --> 2489.40] One thing I should note, though, about these ZOOS switches is that they, some of these switches nowadays don't require a neutral. |
[2489.78 --> 2493.40] So in older houses, they didn't always include a neutral wire. |
[2493.40 --> 2496.16] These ones do require a neutral. |
[2496.36 --> 2498.92] So please make sure you go and check before you spend any money. |
[2499.82 --> 2504.74] Sue writes in, and we got a lot of opinions about hosting your own email server because we brought that up. |
[2504.80 --> 2511.06] We read that article where the author was very frustrated, said that it's basically just only for big tech now. |
[2511.62 --> 2514.96] Sue says, you know, maybe it was a bit of a country-based issue. |
[2515.04 --> 2515.90] He's in Barcelona. |
[2515.90 --> 2527.44] I have been self-hosting email and web service since 2011 across three states in the U.S., and I've only ever had one undelivered email, and that was actually a misconfiguration on the far side. |
[2527.80 --> 2530.60] If you get a business connection, yes, it costs more. |
[2530.80 --> 2531.50] It's about double. |
[2531.50 --> 2534.30] I have $250 for gigabit symmetric. |
[2534.54 --> 2537.04] Oh, man. |
[2537.20 --> 2538.90] Today we have been fighting bandwidth issues. |
[2539.24 --> 2541.56] We've been struggling for a few kilobits a second. |
[2541.70 --> 2542.78] That sounds glorious. |
[2543.42 --> 2549.04] If you get at least one static IP, the same-day customer service, and then there's generally no bandwidth caps. |
[2549.28 --> 2554.94] Not to mention, no one is going to yeet everything into the sun from a business block IP space. |
[2555.04 --> 2555.54] That's true. |
[2555.62 --> 2559.06] They're not just going to write off a whole business block of IPs. |
[2559.06 --> 2567.08] I realize that there are some for whom this is impossible, you know, awful, or the crypto bro musky starlink types. |
[2567.80 --> 2571.52] But we call it Elon link, Sue. |
[2571.68 --> 2572.76] That's what we call it. |
[2572.98 --> 2574.24] It's Elon link. |
[2575.22 --> 2577.04] But you know what? |
[2577.22 --> 2579.06] I kind of get your point here. |
[2579.14 --> 2587.32] It's like if you set it up right, if you have the right kind of connection, if you don't get your IP in trouble, you get a good ISP, |
[2587.32 --> 2590.08] you can still host your own email. |
[2590.40 --> 2591.30] I get that. |
[2591.98 --> 2595.42] Also, Sue mentions that they're a big user of Unraid. |
[2596.56 --> 2597.68] 186 terabytes. |
[2598.06 --> 2600.02] Been running for 12 years. |
[2600.54 --> 2601.20] Yeah, that's solid. |
[2601.52 --> 2602.68] I mean, the Unraid stuff. |
[2602.82 --> 2604.26] Unraid's been around a long time. |
[2604.92 --> 2607.90] And, you know, I think I've been interested in Linux for sort of seven or eight years at this point. |
[2608.00 --> 2612.70] And it was pretty old when I got involved in the Unraid community. |
[2612.70 --> 2614.26] So good on you, Sue. |
[2614.46 --> 2618.54] Sue also gives you a shout out, Alex, for lots of assistance over the years. |
[2618.56 --> 2618.94] Thank you. |
[2619.54 --> 2620.20] Thank you very much. |
[2620.20 --> 2624.90] Now, on the flip side, we got a boost from, I'm going to say, A. Hannigan. |
[2625.18 --> 2625.78] A. Hanniga. |
[2626.40 --> 2632.34] And they write, I actually agree with that blog post on the self-hosted email. |
[2633.22 --> 2638.88] I have done it since 2003, but found out it's increasingly harder to get my mail delivered, especially sending to Gmail. |
[2639.56 --> 2641.42] I ended up switching to Fastmail last year. |
[2641.42 --> 2644.94] Here's another benefit of using a real email provider. |
[2645.04 --> 2649.74] And I use real email provider to be slightly provocative, only slightly. |
[2650.56 --> 2654.50] Bitwarden this week actually added alias support for Fastmail. |
[2654.94 --> 2656.62] Yeah, that's so sweet. |
[2656.88 --> 2661.72] So for those that don't know what that means, you know, when you sign up to a website and you put your real email address in, |
[2662.24 --> 2668.04] an alias through Bitwarden, that user generation stuff, that username generation stuff they added fairly recently, |
[2668.04 --> 2678.20] you can now also generate a username with an automatic email forwarding alias going via your Fastmail account. |
