[421.38 --> 423.82] And if you buy it from Amazon, you can get it within the same day. |
[423.86 --> 425.34] If you buy it from eBay, you can get it pretty quick. |
[425.34 --> 427.66] Like people really say this thing's pretty awesome. |
[427.74 --> 431.82] It's got a three by five gigahertz antenna and a three by two gigahertz antenna. |
[432.44 --> 435.68] It does, you know, like the band shaping stuff. |
[435.80 --> 440.06] It has, or band steering, I should say, load balancing, has a web management console. |
[440.32 --> 442.30] It also has an app, but it runs on Linux. |
[442.42 --> 443.24] So that might be something. |
[443.82 --> 445.30] Decent hardware, decent processor. |
[445.64 --> 450.84] And OpenWRT project seems to have early support for the device too. |
[450.90 --> 452.94] So that's going like in a good direction long term. |
[452.94 --> 455.48] So I decided to pull the trigger on this thing. |
[456.28 --> 459.42] And I ordered one of these TP-Links EAP245s. |
[459.90 --> 461.76] And I'm going to put this into production this weekend. |
[461.96 --> 462.96] It just came in last night. |
[463.88 --> 464.94] And see how it goes. |
[465.20 --> 468.36] You know, like, I don't know if it's going to hold up to like UniFi level. |
[468.60 --> 469.74] I don't know if it's going to be that good. |
[470.56 --> 473.14] I'm also going from a mesh to the single AP unit. |
[473.36 --> 474.50] So we'll see how that goes as well. |
[475.04 --> 476.50] They look really interesting, those things. |
[476.50 --> 485.28] And to be honest with you, they are realistically the only viable alternative to a UniFi style system that phones home to a central controller software. |
[485.64 --> 487.48] At least with UniFi, it's self-hosted. |
[488.18 --> 488.28] Yeah. |
[488.46 --> 492.42] I think TP-Link, you can also self-host there and a control center as well. |
[493.26 --> 500.54] You know, when I look at UniFi and how I use it, you know, I've got two or three different sites that I manage for my family and a couple for some clients as well. |
[500.54 --> 507.48] And, you know, having that central point of control between different sites is absolutely wonderful. |
[507.48 --> 517.18] And I can see it being really handy for you between dupes and the studio, for example, and just have all one like pane of glass to look at and say, how is my Wi-Fi doing today? |
[517.78 --> 520.96] That does seem really nice to use the same system in both locations. |
[522.00 --> 523.34] Same management software. |
[523.64 --> 525.90] I just want more information. |
[526.08 --> 528.34] Like, why is my Wi-Fi dropping out? |
[528.66 --> 529.72] What's going on? |
[529.72 --> 533.18] What's the uptime of the operating system running on the AP? |
[533.40 --> 535.96] Like some basic details that I can use to troubleshoot? |
[536.26 --> 545.80] Because I imagine what's really going on is quite likely a Wi-Fi device has been just has gone haywire and maybe my router's crashing. |
[546.74 --> 551.56] I mean, it's possible it's been physically damaged, but I don't see any other indications of that. |
[551.56 --> 556.72] And I wonder if it isn't just something is just disrupting the Wi-Fi network and the router isn't handling it properly. |
[556.72 --> 562.10] Well, I think I remember you complaining about this a couple of weeks ago in our sort of Telegram chat. |
[562.34 --> 573.06] And I sent you a very timely video from Linus Tech Tips where he was solving some Wi-Fi issues that was actually turning out to be caused by Z-Wave devices in his house. |
[573.06 --> 576.66] You know, he's gone and just bought or built or remodeled a house. |
[576.94 --> 579.84] And he's put a whole bunch of home automation gear in there. |
[579.84 --> 585.64] And some of it's got some really bad crosstalk and it's kind of causing some issues with with interference. |
[586.22 --> 597.10] And so he purchased a kind of device that looks at all the various different radio frequencies that are occurring and uses SDR to kind of figure out what the problem is. |
[597.24 --> 605.02] So I'll put a link to that in the chat for you and hopefully gives you an excuse to spend a bit of cash on an SDR setup. |
[605.46 --> 609.04] I've wanted to get an SDR for a while, so it just might. |
[609.04 --> 611.20] But yeah, that was very timely. |
[611.58 --> 617.16] I have walked around with like the Wi-Fi analyzer tool on the Android and I did make some improvements based on that I got back. |
[617.40 --> 618.82] Yeah, I think that's what he did to start with. |
[618.92 --> 625.66] But then when it wasn't a Wi-Fi issue, it was Z-Wave, which also uses, or is it Zigbee that uses 2.4 as well? |
[626.06 --> 631.18] That was where the issue started occurring with his, I think, wireless soundbar or something he was having issues with. |
[631.78 --> 637.70] My neighbor's printer reaches all the way over to me and it's unbelievable how strong that printer's AP is. |
[637.70 --> 642.82] I've thought about going over and knocking on her door and asking her if she'd let me configure it and turn it off. |
[643.02 --> 645.64] I don't know if it is disableable, but that's how bad it is. |
[646.22 --> 650.70] Before we get to the jellyfin stuff, do you want to just refresh everyone on the giveaway that you've got brewing? |
[650.70 --> 656.10] Yeah, yeah. So last episode I talked about an old hard drive that I pulled out of my server downstairs. |
[656.80 --> 658.86] Western Digital 10 terabyte drive. |
[659.32 --> 662.30] It's about four years old, perfect working order. |
[662.72 --> 670.78] And my idea was to do a giveaway to some needy student or somebody that's upon hard times for whatever reason at the moment. |
[670.78 --> 675.94] And we had four entries this week in the inbox. |
[676.26 --> 679.62] So I was hoping for a bit more than that, if I'm honest. |
[680.24 --> 683.36] So please write to us at selfhosted.show slash contact. |
[683.52 --> 689.82] Enter the giveaway with your best data loss story or Simon Cowell grade sub story, something like that. |
[690.48 --> 693.52] Continental US, lower 48, ideally for shipping. |
[693.76 --> 697.42] Or the UK, because I can send it back with a family member when they visit in January. |
[697.42 --> 701.14] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[701.22 --> 704.26] Go there to get $100 towards an account when you sign up. |
[704.34 --> 706.08] And it's a great way to support the show. |
[706.60 --> 709.42] Linode's how we host everything that we want to run in the cloud. |
[709.66 --> 712.48] It's a nice mix of power and control over a system. |
[712.58 --> 714.12] You can build it up from the ground up. |
[714.18 --> 716.04] I mean, that's how I've got Nix OS on there. |
[716.24 --> 722.70] Or you can go with one of their ready-to-go images, including like an Ubuntu or Debian stack with Docker pre-deployed. |
[722.70 --> 725.40] And then you just hit the button and get the image on there. |
[725.40 --> 727.90] It really kind of depends on what you are comfortable with. |
[727.98 --> 730.86] So it makes it really approachable for all types. |
[730.94 --> 736.86] People have been racking and stacking for 20 years and folks that are just spinning up their first server. |
[736.98 --> 739.40] And Linode makes it really easy to get going in a few clicks. |
[739.46 --> 744.90] And with that $100 while you're supporting the show, you can try out all kinds of features beyond just running a server. |
[744.90 --> 747.28] And they have big, powerful CPUs. |
[747.30 --> 748.98] And they have big, powerful GPUs. |
[749.00 --> 751.56] And, of course, they've got super fast disk systems. |
[751.62 --> 759.44] And they've got a whole range, including nanodes, which are great for like just a blog or a gallery, maybe a landing page or a status page or a VPN. |
[759.64 --> 765.42] In fact, I'll link in the show notes to a guide to set up your own self-hosted VPN on Linode in under 30 minutes. |
[765.56 --> 766.20] It's pretty nice. |
[766.26 --> 768.74] And I love Linode's S3 compatible object storage. |
[768.74 --> 771.48] I recommend you play around with that for your backups as well. |
[771.96 --> 776.14] It's a great way to get your data that's on site on your LAN off site somewhere. |
[776.54 --> 780.44] You encrypt it, send it up, put it on S3 compatible object storage on Linode. |
[780.50 --> 781.70] That's a great way to try out the $100. |
[782.20 --> 783.94] They have a powerful DNS manager. |
[784.18 --> 791.42] If you like to use orchestration management tools like Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes, all that stuff, Linode has fantastic support for that. |
[791.86 --> 792.78] Super fast networking. |
[792.94 --> 794.56] They've got 11 data centers around the world. |
[794.64 --> 797.62] That's one of the reasons I've chose them is performance really matters. |
[797.62 --> 799.58] And they've got it in the compute area. |
[799.66 --> 801.12] They got it in the disk IO area. |
[801.42 --> 803.82] They have 40 gigabit connections to the hypervisors. |
[803.94 --> 805.62] They are their own ISP. |
[806.62 --> 808.08] Have I mentioned that recently? |
