- geerlingguy 2y agoThe actual videos that I store locally are in RAIDZ6, replicated using ZFS snapshots to two local online copies, with a third copy every night pushing data up to an Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive vault :)
- mikestorrent 2y agoWhile it's nice to have a backup video site, it really makes me miss the 90s style internet, where we had protocols and servers separated from clients. What you really need is to be able to trivially publish videos to something like IPFS, and have a large contingent of folks out there using convenient local video apps so there's a market for the content. I could imagine something like "community indexes" (perhaps a spiritual descendant of Usenet) to help find content, playlists, etc. and handle recommendation ML stuff locally. If we had been a little more wise and avoided the walled gardens of social networks in favour of identi.ca or GNU social etc. aeons ago, we would be in a better state now in many ways.
- dehrmann 2y ago> 90s style internet In the early days of the internet, people would host servers out of a university lab or their home for fun or to give back to the community. This didn't scale as more people came online. There were too many people and too few hosts. Protocols moved slower than product development. People needed to download apps (and this was before app stores). So the corporate web won.
- geerlingguy 2y agoPeerTube is supposedly that, but it has many of the same drawbacks of self-hosting anything that gets mildly popular. Once it gets more traffic, you get more bots, more AI tools pulling all the content, more botnets and DDoS attempts, eventually have to deal with governments and DMCA... It's tough :(

- mvanbaak 2y agoRAIDZ2 you mean? (which is comparable with RAID-6). Or do you really run 6 parity disks in your vdev?
- geerlingguy 2y agoYes that haha! I was typing RAID6 then was like no, these servers are using ZFS... My configuration, in case anyone's interested: https://github.com/geerlingguy/arm-nas https://github.com/geerlingguy/arm-nas
- skyyler 2y agoI understand if you don't want to disclose this, but I'm very curious. Can you give a rough estimate of how much your Glacier Deep Archive usage costs?
- seized 2y agoIt's about $1USD/TB/month (varies slightly by AWS region). Unless you need to retrieve and download, where it works out to about $90USD/TB.
- geerlingguy 2y agoFor 13 TB of data, it's something like $20/month? That includes the S3 calls to check all data and upload new stuff.
- skyyler 2y agoThat's pretty reasonable, honestly. Thanks!
- blitzar 2y agoStart your RAID: Shadow Legends journey today. Create a new RAID account NOW for a FREE LEGENDARY and 3 free EPICS.
- geerlingguy 2y agoHaha if I had no scruples, I would've taken a RAID Shadow Legends sponsorship to make an entire joke video about RAID. They send an offer every month or two, ugh. When a sponsor is that persistent, and they offer something "free" to people, alarm bells go off.
- blitzar 2y agoI am not even certain they would be against being made a joke of, they might even pay extra for it. Any publicity is good publicity.
