The Podcast for the Home Server Enthusiast.
That day has come! We all come up on “that day,” either with joy or dismay. I have a little bit of both that I’m publishing the last episode of the Home Server Show. It all started in 2008 and now comes to end. My podcasting is not over however. I have a brand new show and I’ll talk about that in this last episode. I’ll also talk about how HSS started and we will bookend this journey with Ian Dixon who was my first interview and on the first episode.
Check out RESET at mccabe.io
I gave brief thanks and mentions during this short episode. Honestly, I could have spent an hour listing people. I wanted to type them out here. I don’t know why but I really didn’t want choke up during that last episode. Seems silly right?
The other thing is I’ve stared at this post for hours. I can’t possibly list everyone. I am going to leave someone out and it’s not on purpose. I’ve aged folks. Why do you think I started a forum? So I could ask questions to you guys! I can’t possibly list you all and I’m sorry if you don’t see your name here.
Many thanks to all who have interviewed with me, talked to me about their gear, have and continue to participate in my many forums. You have participated in all my crazy ideas, my popular ones and my failed ones! Thank you as well to everyone who has co-hosted with me on Home Server Show and Surface Geeks. There is no way I could list all those people but Chris Lux, John Zajdler, and Jim Collison stick out in my mind. What a wonderful time we had together during the HSS Version 1 days. Jim, thanks for sticking with me
Speaking of hey days. Ian Dixon, Andrew Edney, Alex Kuretz, Terry Walsh, Phillip Churchill, Christopher Courtney, Kevin Schoonover, John Stutsman, Chris Kenney, Rich O’Neal, Mike Faucher, Jose Ortiz, Michael Martis, Tim Daleo, Jim McCarthy, Jim Clark, Garry Whittaker, Dewain Robinson, Kyle Reddoch, John Wiskowski, Darren Cohen, Synology, WD, Icy Dock, and you. Yes, you reading this. That’s who I have to thank. All who have listened. All who have read.
Every single one of the V1 Add-In Developers. You guys rocked.
All the top posters in the HSS Forums.
Meetup attendees. You are a crazy bunch!
Microsoft. WHS Team, Ex Softie, now Amazon Alexa: Charlie Kindel, Surface Team, Windows Insider Team. The Indianapolis Microsoft Store for treating me like a “big shot.” Nanette Winter, the community director, for coming through with all my requests.
Thanks for a great ride. I hope you like RESET and I’ll see you in the forums.
Lots of news articles to share with you today. New Synology gear, new OS for Synology Router, and what to do when adding Windows 10 to your Essentials network. Lian Li, Otixo, Copy.com, Netgear Orbi, and more!

I’ve got Luma and I don’t know what to do with it! If you follow the HSS Forums you no doubt have heard about the Luma debacle that is unfolding. We go over that as well as hammer out a testing method for the Luma that I have in hand. When I’m done testing I’m giving it away! Listen to find out how.
Well also cover some news. I’ve got Patron shout outs, D-Link has some new cameras that you will want to hear about, I’ve got a follow up on Ecobee, Spruce for SmartThings, and Meetup 2016. It’s a long show but it’s a handsome one, Clark!

eero.com I got an e-mail with a coupon code for $75 a system. Well, you are supposed to give that code to a friend and minimum purchase is $450. I can’t pick up an extra AP with it. Bummer.
We made it to Episode 300 so expect a lot of “congratulatory backslapping.” If you remember that phrase then you probably remember HSS Episode 100. We had some fun on 300 but actually put together a podcast! A lot really. Meetup 2016 is on. Listen to find out when and where. Patreon is also a go. VPN’s, cameras, Wi-Fi, and some box building. Is RAM cheap enough to get you to build new? How about HP’s boxes? I get totally confused on video card pricing and put the guys to the test on parts. I hope you have fun with this one. It’s long but it’s a good time!
Many thanks to Kevin Schoonover, John Stutsman, Mike Faucher, and Jim Collison for joining me on this episode and many more in the past.
