Linus spent $1000 on e-waste. 54tb of storage. Can't use the netapp os since they would have had to bought the rack from netapp themselves. Take 2k watts of power to run. Can literally run the same storage capacity on two-three drives for 20 watts now.
I've literally adminned netapp and other block-centric storage systems.

The database group then made my boss very mad by spurning it for the 'fancy' freenas boxes I built since they found the snapshot management much easier and performance much higher. I don't have real high opinions of the things. They do have a place in giganto-tier storage systems but they're a huge pain in the ass and the licensing is one of the worst things about them.

10:51 "All I'm saying is, it should be illegal to sell hardware that requires software that you need an account to access."

Biggest tell these yahoos have never worked with enterprise shit before. This practice is sadly incredibly common, basically everybody does it, though HPE and Cisco are the absolute worst offenders and I hope their senior management goes to a special place in hell where they're doomed to endlessly Google for Russian FTP sites so they can find updated firmware for Satan's homelab.

Also I'm surprised the blob didn't suffer a back injury

Sheesh, imagine filming OSHA fuck ups.

Edit: reached the end. Basically they threw out the FAS in favor of resurrecting Whonnock, replaced the IOM3 controllers with IOM6, got felted by the 520 byte sectors when formatting disks, called Wendell when they couldn't see all the drives and then threw out all the useless 15K disks in lieu of 22 TB HDDs. Absolute waste that they plugged a SAS3 HBA into this slug :(

holy fuck it is so easy these days to make a rock solid NAS. Why can't these 'experts' do it.

Even buying one of the stock Synology or QNAP appliances would be better than the niggershit these faggots build themselves. They have no fucking clue what they are doing.

To be fair the netapp would not be niggershit but it will require you to sign a six figure (((support contract))).
 
I apologise if this was already nooticed, not an avid reader of the thread.
Anyway

Linus troon arc soon?

With his asian wife? I doubt it. I bet if he did the smallest steps in that direction she'd whoop his ass.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was more troon baiting than anything else.
 
It's one thing to save a buck and get your employees to model the merchandise you make. It's an entirely different level when you get your wife (and people know who she is) to model your underwear merch.
Absolute cuck behavior. Don't deserve the title of husband for that shit

Why do you need that much fucking storage almost ever? Get external drives you fags, good grief.
 
LTT has like a petabyte of storage somewhere. 54tb is pretty small IMHO.
I, a normal man, wouldn't know what to do with 54 TB. A computer that I've been looking up parts for on Newegg, I'd only be putting 2tb in two p1 tb M2 drives in it right now, with expansion room I guess for a 4tb HDD if im buying a lot of last gen games/digitizing my blurays/dvds/tapes.

Even then, mostly what I use my current laptop for is internet surfing and word documents. If I ever got a hold of Torchmate or PlasmaCam, I could see needing extra space, but honestly the files aren't huge. I get Linus has a lot of video, but has the man ever heard of a .zip file?

He has his team shoot on RED cameras. Those are the cameras they shoot Hollywood movies on. The raw video files take up a ton of room. I don't think he's using every bit of storage.

As for me, I'm a digital hoarder. And storage is cheap and keeps getting bigger every year.
 
You don't understand, Linus really really really needs that random raw video in 8K from 5 years ago right now!
8K is at the point where even with my 20/20 vision, I can't perceive, and I've seen a 8k screen at Sam's club. Pure autism.

Even if he's not using every bit, using movie grade for fucking youtube is stupid. There is having nice shit and then there's wasting money and making a storage nightmare.

I mean at least you do it because it's cheap. Linus does it because raw autism and a unlimited budget. That's the difference
 
Bet he's broken a few too. Absolute waste of money. 4k is already at the limit of most people, even then, I'm just fine with good old 1080p and a good frame rate. Most people are when you look at monitor sales even now.
His rendering machines must consume almost as much power as a crypto mining operation. That's crazy.
 
It's truly amazing - it used to be that people turned to PC Building because there was tremendous savings/value to be had from it. I still remember the days when the market was about pinching as much penny as possible - skimp a little on the CPU cooler and maybe a little on the case as well so we can fit a quad core and a 70 tier gpu within the budget, or building the system in such a way that expansion can be had in subsequent months/builds.

Those were the days when we made fun of Apple for charging so much for such weak hardware.

We have LTT now, just throwing whatever expensive shit there is to be had for the simple fact that it's overkill and expensive.

The abyss stares back once again.

8K? Not good enough for Linus! He bought 12K Blackmagic cameras even though the format they use barely works with the editing tools LMG uses. I think they ended up flipping them. (no doubt at a massive loss)

Crazy that Dankpods literally films every video on an iPhone and it's 100x better.
