[1735.14 --> 1738.18] and of course it'll even bust through that dreaded double gnat. |
[1738.30 --> 1739.80] I can tell you from experience, |
[1740.24 --> 1741.98] your devices connect directly to each other, |
[1742.06 --> 1743.14] not through Talescale, |
[1743.46 --> 1746.96] but directly to each other in a mesh wire guard network. |
[1747.38 --> 1748.78] It's so slick. |
[1748.90 --> 1751.44] And Alex and I are both daily users. |
[1751.44 --> 1753.94] I often will connect back to Lady Joops |
[1753.94 --> 1756.48] and manage something from the studio now. |
[1756.64 --> 1758.76] Like, getting in over a VPN |
[1758.76 --> 1761.80] was like the thing that was super hard for me to solve |
[1761.80 --> 1762.94] with my carrier gnat. |
[1763.22 --> 1765.00] And now it's like, |
[1765.10 --> 1766.62] I just pop onto each one of my boxes, |
[1766.76 --> 1767.54] get things started, |
[1767.94 --> 1768.64] get things thinking. |
[1768.74 --> 1769.72] It's so awesome, Alex. |
[1770.38 --> 1773.44] And that mesh network portion is so cool. |
[1773.98 --> 1775.70] So, you know, picture this, right? |
[1775.70 --> 1779.98] I wanted to back up about three terabytes worth of data |
[1779.98 --> 1782.22] to England, across the ocean, |
[1782.52 --> 1785.04] to that Synology box that I took back there |
[1785.04 --> 1786.42] to my mum's house a few months ago. |
[1786.74 --> 1788.10] She has a BT Home Hub, |
[1788.38 --> 1790.38] which is a famously crappy router. |
[1791.04 --> 1791.96] And, you know, |
[1792.02 --> 1793.82] I don't want to do port forwarding in there. |
[1793.90 --> 1795.56] I don't want to have to talk her through anything. |
[1796.18 --> 1797.16] So what did I use? |
[1797.26 --> 1799.60] I've been using Talescale for this for the last few months, |
[1799.66 --> 1801.96] and it's just been absolutely perfect. |
[1802.58 --> 1804.30] Every time I fire up Restic, |
[1804.30 --> 1805.80] boom, straight through the tunnel, |
[1806.04 --> 1808.34] it does the script I have, Talescale up. |
[1808.52 --> 1810.68] It connects through a dedicated IP address |
[1810.68 --> 1811.86] on a specific subnet. |
[1812.22 --> 1814.06] And using the magic DNS feature |
[1814.06 --> 1815.38] that's built right into Talescale, |
[1815.52 --> 1817.44] I don't even have to remember any numbers |
[1817.44 --> 1818.42] or anything like that. |
[1818.46 --> 1821.44] It's just boom, boom, boom, done, simple. |
[1821.70 --> 1823.48] And it's been so reliable, |
[1823.62 --> 1824.96] I almost forget that I'm using it. |
[1825.44 --> 1825.98] It's always up. |
[1826.08 --> 1826.74] It's always on. |
[1826.96 --> 1829.20] And I like the fact that every machine |
[1829.20 --> 1831.26] now essentially has a static IP in my brain. |
[1831.58 --> 1832.80] You know, it doesn't matter where I'm at. |
[1832.80 --> 1834.96] They all just have a static IP I connect to. |
[1835.04 --> 1836.02] I threw it on my iPad. |
[1836.52 --> 1837.52] I connect to LTE. |
[1837.80 --> 1839.54] I can get on my system super quick. |
[1839.94 --> 1840.54] I'd love it. |
[1840.76 --> 1841.62] You got to check it out. |
[1841.70 --> 1842.84] If you've been waiting to try it, |
[1842.94 --> 1843.88] this is your opportunity. |
[1844.30 --> 1845.28] You're going to be shocked |
[1845.28 --> 1846.88] how fast you're going to get this up and going. |
[1847.10 --> 1849.52] I mean, I even have it running on my Raspberry Pis. |
[1849.78 --> 1850.46] It's so great. |
[1850.70 --> 1853.06] Talescale.com slash self-hosted. |
[1853.06 --> 1855.82] Mike writes, |
[1856.34 --> 1857.94] I've been loving your show so far. |
[1858.12 --> 1860.50] You guys seem to have some pretty elaborate setups, |
[1860.70 --> 1862.40] which brings me to a question. |
[1862.84 --> 1865.28] As someone just starting out in the self-hosting world, |
[1865.44 --> 1868.24] how do you balance progress and perfection? |
[1868.66 --> 1871.66] I frequently find myself a roadblock in my setup |
[1871.66 --> 1873.88] because I feel like I need to be doing something |
[1873.88 --> 1876.24] the optimal way the first time. |
[1876.72 --> 1877.68] And as a consequence, |
[1877.98 --> 1879.24] I just never do it at all. |
[1879.24 --> 1883.38] I can feel that for sure. |
[1883.72 --> 1886.66] Because when we decided to start this show, |
[1886.82 --> 1889.28] I also had been working on this concept, |
[1889.42 --> 1891.52] in part from a conversation we had with Wendell |
[1891.52 --> 1892.60] about craftsmanship. |
[1893.04 --> 1896.84] And I had decided that I wanted to take real craftsmanship |
[1896.84 --> 1899.52] in my self-hosted stuff that I do. |
[1899.64 --> 1902.68] And so I really got in my head with that for a bit |
[1902.68 --> 1904.32] and also sort of struggled with perfection. |
[1904.58 --> 1905.98] And that saying is so true, |
[1906.04 --> 1908.44] that perfection is the enemy of the good enough, really. |
[1909.24 --> 1910.60] And here's what I came to. |
[1910.68 --> 1912.52] And I wonder what you do, Alex, in this case. |
[1912.52 --> 1915.90] But what I realized about myself |
[1915.90 --> 1918.82] is that I'll get into something deep. |
[1919.18 --> 1920.42] I will become... |
[1920.42 --> 1921.84] I'm so smart, Alex. |
[1921.92 --> 1923.54] I have a galaxy-sized brain here. |
[1923.64 --> 1926.16] I will become so informed on a topic. |
[1926.40 --> 1927.58] It's unbelievable. |
[1928.18 --> 1930.38] And then I know all of it now. |
[1930.60 --> 1934.00] And I arrogantly assume that I will remember all of it. |
[1934.00 --> 1936.18] And then six months later, |
[1936.18 --> 1939.22] I have forgotten 98% of everything I learned. |
[1939.32 --> 1941.08] And I am a total smooth-brained idiot. |
[1941.70 --> 1944.40] And I realized that about myself |
[1944.40 --> 1946.78] and now have decided that I must document |
[1946.78 --> 1948.30] while I'm at peak knowledge. |
