[1410.54 --> 1412.08] But that flexibility really is...
[1412.08 --> 1413.66] You know, you could set all that up if you wanted to.
[1413.66 --> 1417.28] But just the point is that sometimes it's really nice not to have to.
[1419.72 --> 1422.20] Linode.com slash SSH.
[1422.30 --> 1424.54] Go there to get $100 in 60-day credit.
[1424.62 --> 1425.80] And you go there to support the show.
[1425.88 --> 1428.30] Go say hello to Linode and support the show.
[1428.38 --> 1429.90] Linode.com slash SSH.
[1430.18 --> 1431.10] This is where we're running everything.
[1431.26 --> 1435.80] And just before we left, I wanted the Matrix server to really hum like a top.
[1435.80 --> 1444.24] We upgraded that thing to 96 gigs of RAM and 48 epic CPU cores on Linode and 2 terabytes of SSD storage.
[1445.44 --> 1447.02] We're cooking with gas now.
[1447.12 --> 1448.38] Is that enough to run Matrix?
[1448.60 --> 1448.80] Who knows?
[1448.80 --> 1449.08] Barely.
[1449.30 --> 1449.70] Barely.
[1449.80 --> 1450.06] Barely.
[1450.14 --> 1454.42] But you know what was great is we've just slowly increased the size of that Linode.
[1454.60 --> 1455.96] We started at...
[1455.96 --> 1459.38] I mean, we might have started at a $5 Linode because it was just an experiment.
[1459.74 --> 1462.36] And then we just kind of turned it up as time has gone on.
[1462.40 --> 1464.28] And this time we really cranked it up to 11.
[1464.28 --> 1465.86] But you know what else I was thinking?
[1466.66 --> 1472.32] I wonder if there'd be a way to use WiseBridge on Linode to have like a remote WiseBridge like a Kinect.
[1472.40 --> 1474.82] Maybe like something like a VPN back to my LAN.
[1475.34 --> 1481.66] There's so many things you can experiment because they have great price plans for big enterprise operations if you're out there.
[1481.74 --> 1484.98] Or for just, you know, individuals that want to do something and experiment.
[1485.58 --> 1489.86] Their pricing is 30 to 50% less than the big hyperscalers out there that have these crazy UIs.
[1490.24 --> 1492.44] They've got a great API if that's the route you like to go.
[1492.44 --> 1494.30] They've got a really nice command line tool.
[1494.48 --> 1497.62] So one of the things I've done is I just have a tab in my dropdown terminal.
[1497.88 --> 1498.82] I'm almost...
[1498.82 --> 1503.20] I have like almost all of the Linode command line client commands that I use in my history on that tab.
[1503.90 --> 1506.06] I can throw stuff up on object storage in no time.
[1506.60 --> 1510.72] And the great thing is if you ever run into any trouble, have any problems getting something set up,
[1511.08 --> 1515.28] Linode comes with amazing 24-7 customer support by phone or by ticket.
[1515.28 --> 1518.26] And they don't do that thing where they like escalate and escalate and escalate.
[1518.90 --> 1520.02] They stick with you.
[1520.32 --> 1522.08] Each person is trained and ready to go.
[1522.46 --> 1523.46] They've got the best support.
[1523.54 --> 1526.24] And I hear that over and over again from the self-hosted community.
[1526.94 --> 1527.98] That stuff matters.
[1528.34 --> 1532.28] And what I love about Linode is they've built this in a way that really is fast.
[1532.64 --> 1537.38] 40 gigabit connections, SSDs, NVMe PCIe storage, AMD EPYC processors.
[1537.98 --> 1539.34] They are their own ISP.
[1539.76 --> 1541.08] It just goes on and on.
[1541.60 --> 1542.34] So go try it.
[1542.34 --> 1543.30] Go build something.
[1543.66 --> 1544.48] Go learn something.
[1544.84 --> 1547.04] See why it meets our bar of requirements.
[1547.20 --> 1549.12] And no other provider has.
[1549.76 --> 1550.32] Check them out.
[1550.66 --> 1552.48] Get $100 and support the show.
[1553.02 --> 1555.04] Linode.com slash SSH.
[1555.14 --> 1557.22] That's $100 for 60 days on a new account.
[1557.52 --> 1561.64] And you support the show by going to Linode.com slash SSH.
[1563.72 --> 1568.10] Now, I'm really not sure how I feel about Plex's news this week.
[1568.10 --> 1576.76] They've added a universal watch list, which allows for search and discovery across all the streaming services.
[1576.92 --> 1581.70] We're talking Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
[1582.36 --> 1584.44] And they've done all this client side.
[1584.56 --> 1586.42] And we all took a look earlier before the show.
[1586.42 --> 1588.16] And I'm curious to get your thoughts.
[1589.18 --> 1589.50] Hmm.
[1589.88 --> 1590.20] Hmm.
[1590.32 --> 1590.60] Hmm.
[1590.70 --> 1590.88] Hmm.
[1590.88 --> 1590.98] Hmm.
[1590.98 --> 1592.58] You know, I remember when we talked to the CEO.
[1592.82 --> 1600.04] I remember then thinking this is the way they're going because this is probably the most legitimate play they can make for this space.
[1600.04 --> 1611.62] And they are also in a very unique position where they have a huge established user base that has a large local library that has the shared function where you can have friends.
[1611.76 --> 1613.90] So like Alex and I, we share our Plex libraries with each other.
[1615.14 --> 1617.70] And so that last piece was kind of the online streaming.
[1617.96 --> 1623.98] So now you can look for a movie and you can see it across all of your friends servers, your own server, or the online streaming services that it's on.
[1624.42 --> 1628.68] Now to facilitate this, Plex raised $50 million in funding last year.
[1628.74 --> 1630.26] So we knew this was going somewhere.
[1630.42 --> 1632.44] And then $20 million just landed even more recently.
[1633.72 --> 1639.52] Previously, and probably likely still, their primary revenue came from Plex Pass.
[1639.66 --> 1645.14] Now they're transitioning to this new model where in this mix, when you search for a movie, sometimes it's free.
[1645.60 --> 1646.80] And that's going to be ad supported.
[1646.80 --> 1647.96] And they're going to run a pre-roll.
[1647.96 --> 1653.96] And they believe that in 2022, ad supported revenue is going to easily surpass the Plex Pass.
[1656.14 --> 1660.44] And okay, so these, I think this is the general, like, okay, I can see where they're going.
[1660.68 --> 1661.44] I acknowledge it.
[1662.08 --> 1664.62] Yet in the pit of my stomach, I'm very concerned.
[1665.62 --> 1676.14] They do make some concessions on the blog post to say, categorically, we do not and do not have any plans to upload your data to our servers.
[1676.14 --> 1678.92] You know, we don't really care what's in your libraries, et cetera, et cetera.
[1679.08 --> 1679.96] Maybe that's a good thing.
[1680.10 --> 1684.44] Since it does seem to be all happening client-side, like your Plex server didn't get updated to support this.
[1684.50 --> 1687.08] No, I didn't change my PMS version.
[1687.22 --> 1690.76] I didn't change, even the Android TV app didn't get updated.
[1690.96 --> 1694.30] We went to check the history before just to see if it was.
[1694.40 --> 1705.36] But no, it's all, the client itself, the app, obviously had some frameworks built into it to check Plex's servers to change what it's displaying to me at any given moment.
[1705.36 --> 1709.44] And then just at the bottom left-hand corner, it now says discover, brackets, beta.
[1710.06 --> 1710.12] Yeah.
[1712.42 --> 1719.54] These kinds of things, you know, being able to search across all of the services, they live and die on these business relationships.
[1719.94 --> 1721.58] And Roku has tried this.
[1721.78 --> 1723.06] Apple has tried this.
[1723.06 --> 1727.58] And Plex, you know, this was brought up to the team over at Plex.
[1727.76 --> 1732.92] And they said, quote, we are a little bit of a Switzerland in this regard.
[1733.04 --> 1735.60] They believe that they can be the Switzerland of streaming.
