First impression, really cool but will only work till Apple notices
Android users clearly want modern features
3 days after release, it all came to a halt
Apple's FUD statement
Beeper mini enabled security for non Apple users
Apple's response reduces security and privacy
Apple's response protects the iMessage lock-in effect
Issue with other "encrypted apps"
Focus of Beeper
Beeper cloud uses its own cloud server
Give beeper mini a review
Beeper blog post
37:45 vHost Hardware
What is a vHost
What does Steve consider
network
drives
RAM
CPU
Lots of compute nodes vs a few large nodes
Stage 1 - is it viable
$1k-50k quotes
Started with 2 vdevs with 3 drives
Stay under 85%
Stage 2 Scale up
DELL EMC POWEREDGE R7425
8 BAY LFF SERVER
2x AMD EPYC 7451
H330 3 PCI RISER RPS
DELL PowerEdge R6525
1U Server
2 x AMD EPYC 7542 2.9Ghz CPU
256 GB No HDD
Can save a lot buying used
Local vs Central storage
Data centralized
qcow2 on vHost
2 vdevs
2 disks per vdev
Dell EMC KTN-STL3 drive shelf
15 disks in 2U
Requires LSI SAS9200-8e
NetApp DS4246
24 disks in 4U
Requires LSI SAS9200-8e
QSFP SFF-8436 Mini SAS SFF-8088 Cable
Don't store Nextcloud data on OS qcow2 disk
There will always be a single point of failure
Change ZFS settings based on data being stored
Easiest way to get a vHost up and running
KVM vs "appliance OS"
Bridging vs MAC vTap
RAM is likely your biggest constraint
Ubuntu libvirt doc
