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

if file system has bit rot protection
works till it doesn't
Better to use database tools
