[1268.18 --> 1271.80] Well, you could run a TV headend as well that you don't have to use Plex.
[1271.90 --> 1274.50] There are other TV backends available.
[1275.28 --> 1280.02] So TV headend is one that I used to use a few years ago with a TV tuner card, a PCI card.
[1280.48 --> 1285.06] But the beauty of this HD Home Run box is you don't have to have a dedicated computer, really.
[1285.64 --> 1290.02] If you're on your LAN, there are clients available for Android TV.
[1290.32 --> 1294.72] I don't know about Apple TV, but certainly for iOS and Android, you just install the app
[1294.72 --> 1296.04] and it just comes up straight away.
[1296.04 --> 1298.92] I've got something neat for you.
[1299.00 --> 1305.02] Go to CrowdStrike.com slash LCE and you can ingest and view all of your logs in one place.
[1305.30 --> 1307.50] So this is CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale.
[1307.68 --> 1312.44] This is CrowdStrike's new centralized log management and observability tool, formerly known as Humio.
[1312.78 --> 1318.02] So LogScale has been developed as an alternative to legacy logging solutions that really make
[1318.02 --> 1322.16] it cost prohibitive to ingest and search data volumes that you just kind of get if you've
[1322.16 --> 1326.14] got some infrastructure, you know, more than a few systems.
[1326.50 --> 1328.20] They just generate a ton of logs.
[1328.36 --> 1332.66] And the beauty of LogScale is that it can take logs from any of those sources and make
[1332.66 --> 1333.16] them usable.
[1333.72 --> 1335.54] You don't need to constantly massage the format.
[1335.80 --> 1337.18] Oh, man, I spend time doing that.
[1337.22 --> 1338.00] It doesn't need a schema.
[1338.20 --> 1338.68] Oh, yep.
[1338.74 --> 1339.10] Been there.
[1339.54 --> 1342.42] You just pump them all in there and then you got them when you need them.
[1342.68 --> 1343.24] And the dashboard.
[1343.72 --> 1343.90] Yep.
[1344.14 --> 1344.58] It's great.
[1344.64 --> 1345.20] Goes for days.
[1345.56 --> 1346.54] This platform is crazy.
[1346.54 --> 1352.10] It has a index free architecture, which means you can ingest over a petabyte of data per
[1352.10 --> 1357.40] day and search that with sub second latency, not hours, sub second latency.
[1358.12 --> 1363.86] And LogScale is a lot cheaper because that architecture means they don't have a whole big old
[1363.86 --> 1364.72] hardware footprint.
[1365.70 --> 1366.14] Right.
[1366.76 --> 1369.44] They're a lot better than platforms like Splunk or Elastic.
[1369.56 --> 1370.06] Thanks to that.
[1370.14 --> 1371.24] A lot better for you to run.
[1371.34 --> 1372.08] A lot easier, a lot simpler.
[1372.08 --> 1376.18] And they also have a community edition that they host.
[1376.18 --> 1379.14] Now, the reason why I like to mention this is there's a lot of ways you can do this.
[1379.30 --> 1383.46] You know, but I think one of the nice things about a platform like LogScale is if you're
[1383.46 --> 1386.78] going through a period where you're building out your infrastructure, maybe you're troubleshooting
[1386.78 --> 1391.34] something, you could pump those logs into LogScale Community Edition.
[1392.04 --> 1396.72] That is the largest no cost data ingestion offering on the market.
[1397.02 --> 1397.42] Right.
[1397.96 --> 1403.12] Because LogScale Community Edition allows you to ingest up to 16 gigabytes a day and you get
[1403.12 --> 1404.04] seven days of retention.
[1404.04 --> 1405.92] So you can really watch what's going on.
[1405.92 --> 1407.72] There's no credit card required, no trial period.
[1408.08 --> 1408.80] You get that.
[1409.08 --> 1413.80] So you can try that, pump your logs into there, do your troubleshooting, build your infra,
[1414.02 --> 1416.60] fix your problems, get it all in one spot on a dashboard.
[1416.98 --> 1419.26] It's just great for self-hosters who have a day job.
[1420.20 --> 1421.62] And you want to get this stuff fixed.
[1421.68 --> 1422.36] You want to enjoy it.
[1422.36 --> 1425.32] You want to experiment with this, but you don't want a second job.
[1426.16 --> 1427.20] So go try it out.
[1427.24 --> 1428.40] It's a great way to support the show too.
[1428.40 --> 1434.28] Get started with LogScale Community Edition for free at CrowdStrike.com slash LCE.
[1434.48 --> 1438.20] That's CrowdStrike.com slash LCE.
[1438.20 --> 1440.94] All right.
[1440.94 --> 1448.76] So I think I came across what might be the ultimate home network IPMI kind of HDMI solution
[1448.76 --> 1449.32] this week.
[1449.32 --> 1454.88] When I looked at all the links in the notes, this is the one that really got my attention
[1454.88 --> 1456.92] because this is something I could see some use in.
[1457.00 --> 1462.80] So am I understanding that you are now transmitting HDMI signal over your LAN?
[1463.38 --> 1464.40] Well, I want to be.
[1464.40 --> 1467.22] I can't yet because they're all completely out of stock.
[1467.40 --> 1468.56] Oh, okay.
[1468.64 --> 1473.24] However, there is a link in the show notes to a YouTube video where I discovered this.
[1473.48 --> 1478.66] And essentially, I used to use what were called balloon, I think, connectors back in the day
[1478.66 --> 1483.90] where you could run a 1080p signal over a pair of Cat5e cables.
[1484.16 --> 1488.52] And you used to have to have dedicated cables between point A and point B.
[1488.52 --> 1497.00] The magic of this is that it just hooks into your normal IP-based network and broadcasts
[1497.00 --> 1498.70] traffic over multicast.
[1499.30 --> 1501.34] Yeah, that does seem really sweet.
[1502.32 --> 1505.82] Do you think if, I mean, if you're using this a lot, do you think you have a sense of how
[1505.82 --> 1507.14] much data load it is?
[1507.60 --> 1509.10] Well, in the video, he does cover that.
[1509.36 --> 1515.78] And it seems to be anywhere from sort of two or three to 10 meg, depending on the various
[1515.78 --> 1516.88] thing that he's watching.
[1516.88 --> 1518.38] There is some compression.
[1518.90 --> 1524.92] So if you're using this, I mean, he's using it to game on, which I'm not sure about that
[1524.92 --> 1525.40] personally.
[1525.84 --> 1528.28] But hey, 1080p gaming is a thing for some people.
[1528.46 --> 1531.86] I've been using on 4K and what have you, because I play Factorio.
[1532.02 --> 1533.60] You fancy boy.
[1533.78 --> 1534.48] You're so fancy.
[1534.76 --> 1536.42] I've been playing so much Dwarf Fortress lately.
[1536.86 --> 1543.52] I'm over here gaming on my portable little deck, you know, which I think is a 720p screen.
[1543.76 --> 1544.44] Is it even that?
[1544.88 --> 1546.56] I think it might be 720p.
[1546.88 --> 1548.62] I'm sensitive to compression artifacts.
[1548.88 --> 1549.20] I don't know.
[1549.26 --> 1552.94] I just, you know, there are things in audio that you probably hear that most people don't
[1552.94 --> 1553.10] hear.
[1553.18 --> 1555.80] For some reason, I'm sensitive to video compression artifacts.
[1555.92 --> 1556.74] No, that's fair.
[1556.78 --> 1557.60] It is what it is.
[1558.04 --> 1563.54] But essentially, this thing, you've got to have a solid network because multicast itself
[1563.54 --> 1565.44] can be a network killer.
