[1270.20 --> 1271.90] where it's not supposed to be.
[1272.40 --> 1277.44] And that sort of stuff are all tied into the alarm panel, but the alarm panel is also tied
[1277.44 --> 1278.16] into home assistant.
[1278.52 --> 1281.06] And that has been working fabulously well.
[1281.06 --> 1282.82] 100% reliability.
[1283.34 --> 1287.42] That's a pretty high number, pretty high level, pretty high level of reliability there.
[1287.78 --> 1291.24] So far it hasn't gone down and it has its own lead acid battery.
[1291.44 --> 1295.06] So even when the power has been off the lead, the separate lead acid battery for the alarm
[1295.06 --> 1296.80] system has kept it going.
[1297.38 --> 1300.92] So it's like, Oh, there's no power at my house, but the alarm system will still blare
[1300.92 --> 1301.98] if somebody breaks in.
[1302.62 --> 1307.64] Speaking of power, I think I, uh, tripped across a video of yours, uh, a few weeks ago about
[1307.64 --> 1308.94] UPSs and stuff like that.
[1308.94 --> 1310.76] I just thought it was an excellent video.
[1311.34 --> 1315.44] Uh, and if anybody's curious about, you know, which UPS should I buy?
[1315.52 --> 1316.68] How big should it be?
[1316.68 --> 1321.78] And we want to hear, you know, 20 minutes of, uh, Wendell talking about UPSs.
[1322.04 --> 1325.40] Almost all UPSs are just absolute trash.
[1325.66 --> 1329.54] And it's just, it's just, it's all down here.
[1329.62 --> 1330.86] We want UPSs to be up here.
[1330.96 --> 1332.00] They're all just down here.
[1332.58 --> 1338.80] There's no reason that we shouldn't be able to buy UPS and get a UPS that lasts 10
[1338.80 --> 1339.30] years.
[1339.62 --> 1343.78] And it would only be marginally more expensive than the UPSs we have now.
[1344.30 --> 1344.60] Yes.
[1344.74 --> 1348.52] I was wondering about using something like, you know, the Jackeries that you can buy these,
[1348.52 --> 1353.64] uh, lithium ion based portable battery packs as a UPS in some, some places.
[1353.76 --> 1354.84] Interesting idea, Alex.
[1355.04 --> 1357.56] I don't know what the switch time is on off the top of my head.
[1357.66 --> 1359.52] You need a really fast switch time.
[1360.10 --> 1360.32] Yeah.
[1360.80 --> 1361.08] Yeah.
[1361.08 --> 1361.98] I suppose it would depend.
[1362.04 --> 1363.20] Are they generating the power?
[1363.20 --> 1367.48] The power for those plugs, is that coming from the inverter and the battery all the time?
[1367.60 --> 1370.72] Or does it only switch over once it's done charging?
[1370.82 --> 1375.48] Because in theory, in your setup, Alex, the Jackery would be in charge mode, right?
[1375.58 --> 1377.02] Plugged into source power.
[1377.24 --> 1377.30] Yeah.
[1377.30 --> 1382.46] And so I guess the question is, is what happens when the batteries are fully charged?
[1382.80 --> 1385.18] The outlets on the Jackery, where does that power come from?
[1385.22 --> 1386.08] Is it just pass through?
[1387.52 --> 1388.16] Who knows?
[1389.06 --> 1391.72] But they're, you know, they're lithium ion, decent inverters.
[1391.82 --> 1392.98] They give you the load information.
[1392.98 --> 1395.80] They give you a nice digital display with the percentage of the battery.
[1395.80 --> 1399.06] And they cost about as much as a high-end UPS.
[1399.48 --> 1400.34] It's not a bad idea.
[1400.52 --> 1403.92] It may be possible to override, if it's got a fast switch time, it may be possible to override
[1403.92 --> 1404.72] things in software.
[1404.86 --> 1410.60] Because if you want a lithium ion battery to last 10 years, don't charge it past 70 or 72%,
[1410.60 --> 1411.48] something like that.
[1411.56 --> 1411.84] Yeah.
[1412.04 --> 1413.50] I don't remember what it is off the top of my head.
[1413.56 --> 1417.18] I'm sure that there's a battery expert in the chat or in the comments that'll be like,
[1417.22 --> 1419.44] this is the power curve for lithium.
[1419.44 --> 1421.02] And this is what you want it to be.
[1421.96 --> 1422.94] Yeah, for sure.
[1423.34 --> 1424.98] That's what I try to go for.
[1424.98 --> 1433.84] So in my RV, I have six lithium ion batteries and I'm aiming for about 70% just float charge
[1433.84 --> 1435.90] when we're hooked up all the time for months at a time.
[1436.14 --> 1438.58] But I have to remember to remove that.
[1438.64 --> 1442.40] And it's a manual thing because when we're on the road, I want to have them up at 100%
[1442.40 --> 1445.54] so that I have the full range of the batteries.
[1445.86 --> 1449.86] And, you know, it's one of those things where there's no automation for that because I have
[1449.86 --> 1454.72] not really been able to automate the battery system and definitely has screwed me.
[1454.98 --> 1457.40] So I got to be careful.
[1458.20 --> 1460.42] I've run into the same thing with lead acid batteries.
[1460.54 --> 1462.34] It's like, oh, these lead acid batteries will last forever.
[1462.48 --> 1466.64] And it's like, I got to remember to, I can't remember what model it is.
[1466.68 --> 1471.60] There's a model of UPS where you can actually get an FTDI controller and plug in and just
[1471.60 --> 1479.14] reprogram the UPS to not have the charge voltage be dumping 14.8 volts into the batteries all
[1479.14 --> 1479.76] the time.
[1479.76 --> 1482.84] And then, boom, the lead acid batteries last two more years.
[1482.84 --> 1487.28] CrowdStrike.com slash LCE.
[1487.46 --> 1491.08] That's where you go to ingest and view all of your logs in one place.
[1491.86 --> 1497.14] CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale is CrowdStrike's new centralized log management and observability
[1497.14 --> 1497.46] tool.
[1497.82 --> 1498.84] It's formerly known as Humio.
[1499.30 --> 1503.70] LogScale was developed as an alternative to legacy logging solutions that make it cost
[1503.70 --> 1507.74] prohibitive to ingest and search the data volumes you see in today's IT infrastructures.
[1507.74 --> 1513.62] And the real beauty of LogScale is that it can take logs from any source and make them
[1513.62 --> 1514.42] usable.
[1515.08 --> 1517.26] You don't need to constantly massage the format.
[1517.62 --> 1518.58] It doesn't need a schema.
[1518.94 --> 1522.10] You just pump them all in there and you have what you need when you need them.
[1522.18 --> 1524.36] And of course, the dashboard is great.
[1524.76 --> 1526.04] The platform is crazy, too.
[1526.54 --> 1531.00] LogScale's index-free architecture means you can ingest over a petabyte of data per day.
[1531.16 --> 1533.46] And then you could search that with sub-second latency.
[1534.08 --> 1534.70] Not hours.
[1535.52 --> 1536.04] Seconds.
[1536.04 --> 1540.82] And LogScale is up to 80% cheaper than the competing platforms like Splunk and Elastic
[1540.82 --> 1542.50] thanks to its reduced hardware footprint.
[1543.12 --> 1547.68] I was fighting a machine in the studio today and I realized, aha, I should put the studio
[1547.68 --> 1549.42] machines into LogScale.
[1549.60 --> 1553.04] So that way I discover the problem before I arrive at the studio.
[1553.48 --> 1557.50] I think the best way to get going with LogScale is the LogScale Community Edition.
[1558.08 --> 1561.28] It's the largest no-cost data ingestion offering on the market.
[1561.28 --> 1565.94] And LogScale Community Edition allows you to ingest up to 16 gigabytes.
