[0.00 --> 8.58] Well, welcome into episode 68 of Self-Hosted, everybody. This is a big episode today. We've got Chris with me in person.
[8.82 --> 10.66] Sitting right here. I get the desk, too.
[10.84 --> 13.78] I know. I can look into the whites of your eyes today. That's very strange.
[14.04 --> 21.90] You've got a, if anybody has seen, is it Louis Rossman, right? You just need the cat. You look exactly like Louis Rossman right now in that huge lounge chair with the microphone.
[21.90 --> 25.92] I don't have the muscles and the anger's dialed down a little bit.
[26.48 --> 27.70] Yeah, you're not quite as am.
[27.70 --> 31.06] I'd also like to welcome in today Wes Payne.
[31.62 --> 33.44] Hello, hello. It's good to be back.
[33.76 --> 36.68] Hey, Wes. How was the trip in? You got here just a little bit ago.
[37.26 --> 42.42] It was a little longer, a few extra flights that I didn't expect, but it was well, well worth it.
[43.06 --> 45.94] 50% more flights, if I understand it right.
[46.56 --> 47.40] Unfortunately so.
[47.52 --> 56.76] Yeah, so these two fine gentlemen are joining me today at my house for the big Jupiter Broadcasting East Coast meetup, which is on Saturday.
[56.76 --> 66.00] And looking like it's going to be a hell of a party because not only do we have probably over 100 people showing up, but there's some town event going on too.
[66.10 --> 69.64] So it's going to be, I mean, we're going to, this is going to be one of those where we have stories for a while.
[69.64 --> 75.14] As this episode airs, the meetup will be the day after.
[75.34 --> 77.38] So, you know, it airs on Friday, so the meetup's on the Saturday.
[78.32 --> 83.10] I think this town event is like an Easter, like spring fling thing.
[83.48 --> 86.60] There's going to be food trucks and all sorts of crazy stuff.
[86.60 --> 91.38] So if you're in the Raleigh area, or even if you're not, stop by, say hi, it would be amazing to see you.
[91.94 --> 101.18] It was nice for us, though, because we got in a couple of days early so we could, you know, hang out and pre-show a little bit as we do and do some barbecuing and do some talking and catching up.
[101.92 --> 104.68] So Brent is actually en route right now, too, as we record.
[105.24 --> 107.66] Just, you know, and it's great to see your new place.
[107.72 --> 110.26] Well, it's probably not as new to you anymore, but it's new to all of us.
[110.40 --> 111.18] Oh, yes.
[111.18 --> 116.14] And it's like the size of a bed and breakfast, like it's an estate.
[116.94 --> 118.94] So it can fit all of us easily.
[119.44 --> 121.66] I don't want people thinking I live in some McMansion.
[122.14 --> 123.34] It's a pretty nice house.
[123.36 --> 124.60] It's just below McMansion.
[124.66 --> 125.34] It's not ridiculous.
[125.68 --> 126.56] It's not ludicrous.
[126.70 --> 127.04] We're comfortable.
[127.34 --> 127.82] And you know what?
[127.84 --> 129.76] It actually seems pretty reasonable when all of us are in town.
[130.42 --> 131.24] Right, exactly.
[131.38 --> 139.28] I mean, hosting people, because, you know, one of the reasons we bought this place was we host family from England for three, four, five weeks at a time.
[139.28 --> 144.56] And when you've got four or five people in a house, like you don't want to be all on top of each other for that long.
[144.86 --> 145.32] And a baby.
[145.76 --> 147.26] And a baby now, of course.
[147.44 --> 148.30] Baby needs his naps.
[148.68 --> 149.84] And I've got to have room for the drums.
[150.14 --> 151.00] Right, of course.
[151.48 --> 153.20] The drums, the printer, the workshop.
[153.70 --> 153.84] Right.
[153.94 --> 154.48] But you know what I wanted?
[154.60 --> 158.08] Like, of course, you know, when somebody arrives, like, you know, they want the tour, right?
[158.20 --> 161.16] But I wanted the tech tour when I arrived.
[161.46 --> 164.68] I feel like we're in a real life episode of MTV Cribs today.
[164.82 --> 165.00] Right.
[165.38 --> 166.52] It's self-hosted Cribs.
[166.52 --> 173.98] And so we thought we should start with the very basics, like how Alex is getting power into his house, because you've got a pretty impressive solar setup.
[176.00 --> 176.62] Oh, yeah.
[176.68 --> 177.30] There you go.
[179.88 --> 180.68] Oh, interesting.
[180.78 --> 184.38] Did they put, like, a netting along the bottoms to keep out?
[184.70 --> 185.28] Kriter guard.
[185.46 --> 186.12] Yeah, okay.
[187.78 --> 188.58] So there you go.
[188.72 --> 192.08] That's eight kilowatt hours.
[192.80 --> 193.66] Eight kilowatt array.
[193.66 --> 193.74] Okay.
[196.52 --> 199.04] So they're probably getting their main sun starting right about now.
[199.66 --> 207.26] In the summer, we get perfect sun from about 10 a.m. to about 3 p.m.
[207.30 --> 207.96] Oh, nice.
[208.16 --> 210.62] And then these guys get in the way slowly.
[211.06 --> 211.28] Yeah.
[211.46 --> 214.12] You can look on the monitoring app for SolarEdge.
[214.18 --> 214.36] Yeah.
[214.44 --> 217.74] And you can see the shadow moving across the roof.
[217.90 --> 219.34] It does per panel breakdown.
[219.34 --> 222.16] Yeah, so that's the panels.
[222.46 --> 222.58] Yeah.
[223.28 --> 226.86] And then they brought the cables in through the attic and down through the back.
[226.94 --> 228.08] So that was the room we were sat in.
[228.12 --> 228.90] That was the bonus room.
[229.46 --> 234.78] So they brought the power sort of through this metal conduit out the back and through the attic of the house.
[236.56 --> 237.74] Pretty good service right there.
[237.74 --> 242.82] And so you can see the metal conduit coming down the side of the drain pipe there.
[243.38 --> 247.02] And then into this SolarEdge inverter thingy that's here.
[247.12 --> 247.62] So that's it, really.
[247.80 --> 248.68] There's a...
[248.68 --> 251.04] It's really not that complicated until...
[251.04 --> 253.30] I suppose if you were to put a battery wall in there, it would get more complicated.
