The Home Server Show Podcast

It's done. I've pulled the plug on Windows Home Server 2011 and I'll talk about the migration a little bit.  Drashna and Jim are here to help me along and we have a small bit of news.

I'm going down the path of transferring from Windows Home Server to Server Essentials 2012 R2 Update.  I've got Drashna and Diehard to bounce some ideas off of.  I'll tell you the options I faced when choosing the base OS considering I want to run Hyper-V and some VM's for certain duties.  We take an hour and a half of your time to discuss it all.  I'll set a date for Meetup 2014 and share an interesting lesson.

It's hard not to talk about security this week with HeartBleed in the news.  Are you safe? Is your home server safe?  I'll talk with Jim Collison and John Stutsman about it and how to store your passwords as well.  Lastly, I'm using Ooma VOIP service for my home telephone.  What are you paying for home service?  I teased John Stutsman with some Gen 8 talk and we ran out of time.  I also teased the Tablo and ran out of time on that too!  There is always next week!

Remember way back when I did this podcast by myself? Ya, I'm talking episode 1 to about episode 40 something. Well, Jim has the night off and I'm going solo! I've got two Media Center replacements in my house and I'll talk about both.  I also talk a little bit about Dynamic DNS.  I'm opening up a discussion opportunity for you for the forums.  I'll talk about two options, one paid, one free.

We talk about enthusiast sized servers all the time but how about something a little more normal?  John Stutsman, Christopher Courtney, and Chris Kenney all join in to discuss what could possibly be an "average" server.  Well, they listened to me talk about it! I need to let these guys talk more often.  Never fear, we can always do another one as I think we barely scratched the surface of the topic. I do give some hints of some upcoming reviews.

It's episode 250 and it's full of information for you! John Stutsman joins me to talk about the Thecus N2310 a little bit and we try to figure out what to do with a 6TB hard drive. What would you do with a couple? Do you know how much they cost?  Also, a little more on the HP Gen 8 Microserver and the drive bracket created by Kevin Schoonover.  Lastly, have you ever sanded the bottom of your CPU heatsink? Stutsman did, for days! He will tell us a little bit about that too.  Plex, ripping blu ray disks and more! Enjoy.
