[1565.44 --> 1571.52] So certain switches have the ability to turn on and off multicast support for various different |
[1571.52 --> 1571.98] ports. |
[1572.50 --> 1577.20] That may or may not be a requirement depending on how many devices you're throwing into the |
[1577.20 --> 1577.66] mix here. |
[1577.66 --> 1583.00] So, you know, until I get one of these things in my hands, I'm not going to be able to really |
[1583.00 --> 1585.54] give you a proper review on it. |
[1585.88 --> 1589.84] However, I'll give you a quick overview on why I think it's the ultimate KVM solution. |
[1590.56 --> 1595.08] So these devices can pass through the HID, so a keyboard and mouse input. |
[1595.08 --> 1598.26] They have a transmit box and a receive box. |
[1598.78 --> 1604.88] So I'm picturing down in my basement, I put the transmit box on my server and a second one |
[1604.88 --> 1607.00] on my OpenSense router. |
[1607.84 --> 1609.60] So I've got two down there in the basement. |
[1610.04 --> 1613.90] And then up here, I've got a screen over in the corner where I can have the receive |
[1613.90 --> 1616.64] module and over the ethernet. |
[1617.04 --> 1623.28] So these two transmit boxes transmit on channel one and channel two across the entire network. |
[1623.28 --> 1629.76] So wherever I want to plug into these systems, all I have to do is have a receiver and change |
[1629.76 --> 1631.16] the channel on the receiver. |
[1631.92 --> 1635.20] And then suddenly I can view channel one, channel two, three. |
[1635.46 --> 1641.22] I think it supports up to 13 source devices and up to 253 receivers. |
[1641.44 --> 1645.86] That'd be kind of a fun thing to set up around the house and pipe your video around. |
[1646.06 --> 1648.26] I'm thinking for Blue Iris or something like that. |
[1648.30 --> 1650.86] You could have the screen up there and then just, oh, right. |
[1650.88 --> 1652.84] I actually want to go and check my server right now. |
[1652.84 --> 1653.70] Boop, change. |
[1654.12 --> 1654.24] Yeah. |
[1654.32 --> 1656.20] Or a dashboard, perhaps. |
[1656.28 --> 1659.56] You want to bring a dashboard onto a screen in your bedroom or something like that. |
[1659.62 --> 1660.68] That could be really awesome. |
[1661.46 --> 1662.88] You would say in the bedroom. |
[1663.36 --> 1664.08] Oh, yeah. |
[1664.52 --> 1664.76] You know? |
[1665.08 --> 1666.82] No, you want to turn on. |
[1667.06 --> 1667.82] So what was that? |
[1667.86 --> 1669.82] You turn on the TV and it's already there. |
[1669.90 --> 1671.30] It's already the input on the TV. |
[1671.56 --> 1672.94] Hadea is a lucky lady. |
[1672.94 --> 1676.56] I know. |
[1676.88 --> 1677.44] It's true. |
[1677.54 --> 1678.74] That was my first thought. |
[1679.22 --> 1680.24] I just could find that super useful. |
[1680.36 --> 1682.48] But also the context of a studio. |
[1683.02 --> 1689.28] You know, how great would it be if I could pull in an HDMI source into OBS from a computer that's upstairs or something or vice versa? |
[1690.10 --> 1695.22] Or maybe somebody upstairs could have the HDMI out from OBS, the monitor, the live monitor. |
[1695.90 --> 1697.90] Or in the living room, even. |
[1698.12 --> 1699.64] Wouldn't it be great to be able to send the live? |
[1699.64 --> 1701.24] We used to actually do that physically. |
[1701.36 --> 1702.94] We used to have a really long HDMI cable. |
[1702.94 --> 1707.00] So I opened some ports over UDP as well as doing the multicast thing. |
[1707.44 --> 1711.84] And I will warn you that multicast will take down your network in a heartbeat if you don't know what you're doing. |
[1712.20 --> 1713.38] So just be prepared for that. |
[1713.56 --> 1715.26] Some adventures with that. |
[1715.76 --> 1718.14] But, I mean, this just looks like a really interesting solution. |
[1718.36 --> 1727.82] It looks like it's going to be around about $100, $130 for a receiver and a transmitter with some small discounts if you add more devices. |
[1727.82 --> 1739.88] If you compare that to building a Pi KVM, which the only thing this can't do is the remote power on, power off situation, which, let's be fair, is quite a rare use case. |
[1740.20 --> 1742.18] Very useful when you need it, but quite rare. |
[1742.88 --> 1753.08] This will do 90% of what the Pi KVM or any kind of other, you know, self-built KVM solution will do for the same money or less. |
[1753.08 --> 1757.82] And with the Raspberry Pi being an Obtanium these days, I can't wait for these to come back in stock. |
[1757.88 --> 1761.72] As soon as I see that in-stock button, I'm just going to buy one just to try it out. |
[1762.04 --> 1763.90] Yeah, right on. |
[1764.24 --> 1765.44] Well, good, because I'd love to know. |
[1765.58 --> 1768.36] I could definitely – I fantasized about something like that for years. |
[1768.44 --> 1770.56] So I definitely want you to follow up on that. |
[1771.28 --> 1771.98] All right, what do you say? |
[1772.04 --> 1773.86] Should we do some feedback? |
[1774.30 --> 1779.50] Yeah, before we do, I would like to just talk about a small little giveaway that I'm going to do. |
[1779.54 --> 1780.40] Oh, yeah, right. |
[1780.40 --> 1789.92] It was Black Friday a couple of weeks ago, so obviously I bought a new hard drive as part of my annual ritual of buying hard drives on cheap hard drive weekend. |
[1790.52 --> 1796.12] So I got myself a 14-terabyte hard drive for about $196, which I was very pleased with. |
[1796.74 --> 1801.22] What this means is I've gone ahead and done the ZFS Resilver and the Scrub and all that, |
[1801.22 --> 1807.26] and I have on my desk in front of me a spare 10-terabyte hard drive. |
[1807.26 --> 1813.20] It's about four, four and a half years old, in perfect working condition. |
[1813.66 --> 1819.50] The only reason I've retired it is because I don't like things getting much beyond four or five years in age, |
[1819.70 --> 1825.74] and so I replace a drive or two every year, and that keeps me nicely up-to-date on new drives. |
[1826.76 --> 1831.70] So what I was thinking was I could sell this, you know, for, I don't know, 50, 60 bucks. |
[1831.86 --> 1832.60] Who knows? |
[1832.60 --> 1838.30] What I thought it would be good to do, though, is given it's the holidays and Christmas, why don't we do a giveaway, which we haven't done before? |
[1839.32 --> 1848.44] I was hoping for some needy college students or somebody who has absolutely no backup strategy or somebody that needs it, right? |
[1848.84 --> 1856.70] Maybe somebody, what about somebody building their first media server, Christmas movies for the family, for the holiday, you know, some sob story, basically. |
[1856.70 --> 1859.32] Yeah, we need a Simon Cowell grade sob story. |
[1860.04 --> 1865.42] I want somebody to write in, and we will put these to an audience vote over the next few weeks, |
[1865.62 --> 1872.92] with your worst data loss story, okay, or your worst I didn't have a backup story, |
[1872.92 --> 1880.26] and then we'll put all these into a document, a paste bin or something like that, one of our self-hosted paste situations, |
[1880.60 --> 1886.60] and we'll get the audience to vote, and then the winner will receive this 10 terabyte hard drive. |
[1887.26 --> 1895.36] Couple of caveats, lower 48 states or UK only, because I can get my sister to bring this back with her at the end of January to the UK |
[1895.36 --> 1901.32] and post it to the UK nice and cheaply, or I can post it in the US, obviously, from my house. |
[1901.32 --> 1908.76] So those are the terms and conditions, such as they are, and yeah, self-hosted.show slash contact. |
[1909.22 --> 1914.28] Yep, there you go, send it in, and co-hosts do not qualify, unfortunately. |
[1914.82 --> 1917.44] How many hard drives do you have just sat in a box, be honest? |
[1917.60 --> 1921.64] I mean, now if you count ones that are like 2 terabyte, it could be dozens. |
[1922.26 --> 1922.72] It could be. |
[1923.22 --> 1926.72] Ones that are like 10 terabytes, it goes probably to none. |
[1926.72 --> 1939.24] But, oh, actually, I have a stack of like 128 and 256 and maybe a couple of 512 SSDs that I took out of a bunch of dead, like a dozen dead laptops, |
[1939.44 --> 1940.94] and I just went out and took out all the storage. |
[1941.46 --> 1944.02] It's just, it's a lot. |
[1944.22 --> 1945.02] It's a lot. |
[1945.82 --> 1950.98] All right, so Beau went over to self-hosted.show slash contact and sent in some thoughts on note-taking. |
[1951.22 --> 1952.66] I've been on a journey right now. |
[1952.66 --> 1957.56] I have like a stand-in solution for the moment, but Beau writes, here's a plus one for Obsidian. |
[1957.70 --> 1958.66] I heart MKDocs. |
[1959.58 --> 1964.82] In fact, I rebuilt my hospital's internal medicine handbook with it, which is at vimbook.org, apparently. |
