[0.00 --> 4.64] Well, unfortunately, Alex is out sick this week, but the show must go on. |
[4.70 --> 6.20] We send him our best wishes. |
[6.80 --> 11.00] But our buddy Joe Resington's here from Late Night Linux and Two and a Half Admins. |
[11.38 --> 13.38] Joe, welcome to Self-Hosted. |
[13.78 --> 16.58] Hey, Chris. Good to be here. I've never been on this show before. |
[16.96 --> 19.62] I was just thinking that when I was introducing you. |
[19.68 --> 20.88] I was thinking this must be his first time. |
[20.98 --> 25.88] It's good timing because I know you're kind of thinking about building a new NAS. |
[26.16 --> 28.00] So I think that's one of the things we'll get into. |
[28.00 --> 32.14] It is, but we should address a weird situation that's come up. |
[32.38 --> 34.90] Alex helped me out by coming on Two and a Half Admins. |
[35.00 --> 36.98] We recorded that weeks ago now. |
[37.30 --> 41.80] So as you're listening to this, that came out yesterday with Alex, even though he's sick now. |
[41.94 --> 44.48] It's crazy time math. Don't worry about it. |
[44.54 --> 48.28] But that explains why he's on Two and a Half Admins, but not this show. |
[48.48 --> 50.76] And I'm kind of paying him back by coming here. |
[51.20 --> 52.52] It worked out, you know. |
[52.72 --> 56.74] And when you record ahead, it means you have time to get sick, apparently. |
[56.74 --> 57.66] I should think about that. |
[58.00 --> 58.30] Hmm. |
[58.66 --> 60.76] So I've been rebuilding my home setup. |
[61.06 --> 61.88] It's been crazy. |
[61.88 --> 66.42] The short version is, is like weeks ago during my road trip, my Raspberry Pi 4 died. |
[67.00 --> 67.96] Totally unplanned. |
[68.06 --> 71.48] I had backups, but didn't have any replacement hardware. |
[71.60 --> 75.00] I tried doing like a swap where I swapped everything over to my backup Pi. |
[75.22 --> 77.28] It still didn't boot. |
[77.28 --> 83.28] And so I had to make the trip home in the last couple of weeks while I was waiting for hardware without any of my gear. |
[83.62 --> 84.48] And it was horrible. |
[84.86 --> 85.96] It was absolutely horrible. |
[85.96 --> 89.54] But I've been steadily rebuilding and it's at a pretty good spot now. |
[89.66 --> 92.98] So I feel like I'm on the end of a journey and you're just at the beginning of a journey. |
[92.98 --> 95.98] I know you need a new NAS box, but it sounds like you got some hardware. |
[96.20 --> 98.02] So tell us what your quandary is. |
[98.60 --> 98.72] Right. |
[98.88 --> 106.24] So I have currently got a Celeron J1800 box, passively cooled, totally silent, apart from the disks that's been in it. |
[106.24 --> 112.00] And that has been doing the job for me for a couple of years at this point. |
[112.38 --> 115.36] It was actually kindly donated to me by a late night Linux listener. |
[115.88 --> 117.60] So that was really appreciated. |
[118.02 --> 123.24] It's got only four gigabytes of RAM in it, just a few disks, ZFS with a bit of replication. |
[124.06 --> 127.18] And it's working totally fine, except when I have to reboot it. |
[127.56 --> 128.26] So get this. |
[128.48 --> 133.72] I have no idea why, but the only way I can reboot that box is by hooking a monitor up, |
[133.72 --> 136.04] turning the monitor on, rebooting it. |
[136.38 --> 138.16] I can reboot it via SSH, no problem. |
[138.30 --> 141.06] But the monitor has to be there, plugged in and on. |
[141.60 --> 146.14] I have to wait for the AMI BIOS thing to come up and then it boots and no problem. |
[146.68 --> 153.68] Oh man, there is like a dummy video adapters you can get that make it look like a monitor signal is there. |
[154.12 --> 157.74] And that sometimes will let them boot without actually having a monitor connected. |
[158.02 --> 160.50] But that must not be the only reason you want to replace it. |
[160.52 --> 162.14] I mean, it's probably getting a little long in the tooth. |
[162.14 --> 167.84] Well, yeah, and it makes me wonder, well, should I replace it with something a bit more powerful? |
