[803.58 --> 804.46] It's frankly awesome.
[804.58 --> 814.58] We run everything we've built for the last few years on Linode, including our brand new shiny website, JupiterBroadcasting.com, which is kicked off and rebuilt on the regular on Linode.
[814.68 --> 816.46] And we are super impressed with the speed.
[816.60 --> 819.38] We've integrated it overall with our infrastructure management tools.
[819.52 --> 820.22] And you can, too.
[820.44 --> 821.98] Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes.
[822.30 --> 823.36] It works with all of that.
[823.36 --> 824.54] But maybe you're brand new.
[824.64 --> 826.34] Maybe you've never done any of this stuff.
[826.74 --> 828.48] Linode has what they call an app marketplace.
[828.88 --> 832.60] It's basically like one-click deployment for a lot of really great open source applications.
[832.84 --> 836.52] And they just recently refreshed their whole approach to NextCloud.
[836.76 --> 838.38] It's got a new feature in the marketplace.
[838.64 --> 839.92] They're working with the project.
[839.92 --> 840.88] You hit that deploy button.
[840.94 --> 844.28] You get a properly set up NextCloud instance on Linode right away.
[844.80 --> 852.44] This week, I'm also just playing around with their GPU instances with a little bit of AI image generation because they've got GPU machines.
[852.44 --> 857.76] And I'm not going to go build a crazy huge NVIDIA box just to play around with a project, right?
[857.82 --> 859.94] But I'll go to play a Linode for a couple of days.
[860.24 --> 860.82] And you can, too.
[860.86 --> 869.72] With that $100, you can really kick the tires and try just about everything out from their backups, their S3 object storage, to those powerful CPU or GPU rigs.
[869.72 --> 874.92] Or maybe you just want a gaming server, a blog server, or a NextCloud instance up in the cloud.
[875.70 --> 880.98] Well, you'll have full control with Linode and you'll be super appreciative of their support if you ever run into any problems.
[881.10 --> 882.10] I'll guarantee you that.
[882.10 --> 884.60] So go try them out and get $100 while you support the show.
[885.12 --> 887.10] Linode.com slash SSH.
[887.96 --> 890.10] That's Linode.com slash SSH.
[890.10 --> 901.48] I thought I'd continue my journey down the whole home audio rabbit hole exploration spelunking exercise that I've been doing recently.
[902.04 --> 906.02] Lots of people write in, give me lots of excellent recommendations of different things to try.
[906.16 --> 908.38] Volumio is still on my list of things to try.
[908.96 --> 912.78] However, I thought I would try out the big dog in the room.
[913.24 --> 914.12] In the rune?
[914.56 --> 916.04] The big dog in the rune?
[916.38 --> 917.36] I see what you did there.
[917.80 --> 918.24] Terrible.
[918.76 --> 919.92] I tried out rune this week.
[920.10 --> 921.30] For all of you lovely people.
[921.78 --> 922.36] I love it.
[922.86 --> 926.84] I didn't want to because it's so damn expensive.
[927.62 --> 927.72] Yeah.
[927.72 --> 933.78] But rune bills itself as the audiophile player for music fanatics.
[934.76 --> 942.74] So essentially you run a piece of software on a NAS or a computer or a server like I have.
[943.44 --> 948.72] And it goes through and it catalogs all of your FLAC files, all of your audio.
[948.72 --> 950.10] So it can be lossy stuff.
[950.16 --> 951.36] It can be lossless.
[951.98 --> 952.34] Whatever.
[952.34 --> 952.92] All right.
[952.98 --> 953.64] That sounds great.
[954.22 --> 957.40] I've got about a quarter of a million files I've acquired over the years.
[957.62 --> 960.30] A lot of them have ripped, actually, of CD rips.
[960.40 --> 961.62] I did a decade plus ago.
[961.72 --> 965.14] I went before I donated all my CDs to the charity shop.
[965.14 --> 967.40] The performance has been fine.
[967.40 --> 972.92] You know, it indexed that quarter of a million files in, I don't know, six hours or so.
[973.14 --> 975.52] Maybe three, four, five, six hours, something like that.
[976.06 --> 978.48] Is this running on a Windows machine, Linux machine, Mac?
[978.62 --> 981.40] I'm running it in a Docker container on my Linux server.
[981.52 --> 983.32] But you can run it on a Windows machine too.
[983.42 --> 985.00] So they do offer it as a Docker container?
[985.00 --> 985.36] Yeah.
[985.74 --> 991.82] Well, I don't know if they officially do, but it's certainly possible because it's just a Linux app.
[992.60 --> 999.00] The real issue with it, though, is that to run this server, they charge...
[999.00 --> 1001.80] I can't believe I'm going to say this.
[1002.18 --> 1007.14] They charge me $10 a month for access to my own files.
[1007.58 --> 1008.06] Yeah.
[1008.24 --> 1008.48] Okay.
[1008.48 --> 1011.46] It's bring your own streaming service.
[1011.64 --> 1013.54] Bring your own music streaming service, essentially.
[1014.24 --> 1016.02] It does have a couple of nice features.
[1016.18 --> 1021.96] Like it integrates with Tidal and CoBuzz for high-res gap filling in your library.
[1022.06 --> 1026.22] So let's say you're missing an album or a new album came out that you haven't bought yet or something like that.
[1026.80 --> 1031.82] It will automatically go to Tidal and CoBuzz if you have an active subscription with those two services
[1031.82 --> 1035.62] and pull it in and fill in the gaps for you, which is really nice.
[1035.62 --> 1039.60] And it tries to automatically prioritize the highest quality version of a track available.
[1040.20 --> 1047.90] So let's say I had an MP3 in my local library, but CoBuzz has a high-res, you know, high-res mastered version of it.
[1048.08 --> 1050.92] It will play the CoBuzz version, which I really liked.
[1051.32 --> 1053.06] Yeah, that does seem like the way you'd want it.
[1053.32 --> 1058.04] And I guess that $10 is going towards the access to the licenses to stream that stuff automatically?
[1058.46 --> 1059.24] I guess so.
[1059.24 --> 1066.76] But Rune's killer feature, and I say this genuinely out of love, is the way it presents metadata.
[1067.40 --> 1070.90] So you end up with this kind of like magazine view of an album.
[1071.04 --> 1077.10] So let's say I'm listening to some Led Zeppelin or something, and it shows me Led Zepp 4.
[1077.60 --> 1079.64] That's the best Led Zepp album, in my opinion.
[1079.92 --> 1083.96] And so I go in there and I look at it and I click on one of the tracks and I can see on the credits,
[1083.96 --> 1089.42] you know, all the different people associated with a specific album and, you know, who produced it,
[1089.50 --> 1090.82] who did the mixing for it.
[1090.82 --> 1098.54] And if you're a proper audio nerd, you can go down the rabbit hole really deep, really fast,
[1098.54 --> 1104.92] because each of the names and each of the albums mentioned in the description about this thing is a link.
[1105.36 --> 1107.64] And that's powered on their server side.
[1108.38 --> 1112.40] You know, for example, Stephen Wilson is one of my personal musical heroes.
[1112.40 --> 1114.22] He's in a band called Porcupine Tree.
[1114.38 --> 1115.84] He's done a bunch of solo stuff as well.
[1116.84 --> 1121.62] And he is probably the most famous musician you've never heard of.
[1122.08 --> 1126.50] Like he works with all, he mixes film soundtracks and all kinds of stuff.
[1127.00 --> 1130.96] And so when I dig into Stephen's profile, I get to see everything he's associated with
[1130.96 --> 1134.14] and everything he's worked as an engineer on and worked as an editor on.
[1134.34 --> 1137.56] And before you know it, you found 10 new bands you didn't know you liked,
[1137.60 --> 1139.68] because it's got some of your favourite influences in.
[1140.20 --> 1141.02] So that's amazing.
[1141.02 --> 1146.26] The way it presents metadata is genuinely Rune's killer, killer feature.
