Does it matter?

It's going to run overnight every night for the next five, 10, 20 years, whatever.

So if it takes an hour or it takes six hours, who cares?

Right.

This is my this is what motivates me, dude, is just like, yeah, solving real problems for people.

So I'm glad to hear that.

google frames the family one of the family text me this morning and said my photo frames stop working um and i'm like oops i might have pulled the trigger a bit too soon on the deletion but i just wanted to stop paying google eight bucks a month for the two terabytes you know so yeah right how many hard drives do you buy

Well, for eight bucks a month, amortized over five years, I can buy probably two 20 terabyte drives.

Well, I'm also not training Gemini's future models with my images and the images of my daughter.

And there's a huge digital sovereignty aspect to my motivations for getting off the big tech train when it comes to really deeply personal data like photos and documents and stuff.

I mean, I'm sure many of us use Gmail even, and I've been a Gmail user since, I guess, 2004, 2005 era, like when it was cool and a beta product.

And I look back at the original emails and I'm like, oh my God, every email I've had in the last 22 years, they know what it is.

It's a lot of data.

It's a big data set.

Yeah.

Well, you get paid to make videos.

The phrase, if you do what you love, you never work another day in your life is very true for me.

I'm extremely privileged and lucky to get to do what I do.

Like Thanksgiving weekend was just a couple of weeks ago as we record.

And, um, I decided that I was going to learn Kubernetes over the weekend.
