yeah this has got me second guessing hosting my own instance as well.

A blast from the past. Totally forgot about it existing until this post.

I’m not nor was I angry, just being honest.

They don't. Only shitty trackers. Every tracker I use has zero ads. A thing called private trackers exist. Every good torrent site has zero ads.

If you can't get in a private tracker and don't want ads, usenet is better than public trackers anyways.

Private trackers >/= usenet > public trackers

Clone wars show and the animated shows in general + andor are peak Star Wars imo

Yeah I just saw that thread as well. Just cemented the fact that he can’t take criticism, he just plays victim and pushes blame on others.

I agree that MKBHD is also not technically inclined nor seems to be very interested in it.

He’s more interested in the cinematography aspect of YouTube.

Personally I’ve only ever used a couple of his videos as a “first look” at something where I just wanted to see a first glance.

But one example where MKBHD and Linus’ incompetence was shown together was MKBHDs video with Linus showing up, where they built a 140tb Unraid server.

Personally I wouldn’t opt for unraid over just using actual Linux or proxmox, etc. but that’s besides the point.

They used one parity drive for 14 hard drives, then referred to everything as being “backed up”

RAID IS NOT A BACKUP!

Linus, who uses Unraid for his own channel should know this! Any competent tech person, running their own server with data they can’t afford to lose, should know that. Full Stop.

Which it should be no surprise LTT had several occasions of losing data with no backups.

Ok fair. But I think he repeatedly shows himself to be incompetent and his response to being called out strikes me as very narcissistic.

Those two things together = wack

LTT is and always has been cringe. Linus is not even very technically knowledgeable, he’s just an entertainer.

Also running an LSI 9211-8i P20 in IT mode - you pick that up from theartofserver or flash yourself?

How much is that VPS costing you monthly?

Agreed. Rack mount is cool but I don’t have the space for that
