API should be down for the time it takes me to replace 8 hard drives, realize I screwed them in backwards, screw them in again, plug everything back in, and then fix some Ubuntu boot loader issue that I've never seen before and will have to research in a cold sweat. Back ASAP!pic.twitter.com/jposQmbh45
Hey nerd herd, how come it's 2021 and supermicro servers take so long to boot? The actual Linux boot time off SSD is minimal, but they seem to spend many minutes just ruminating on BIOS things at each reboot. Do we (I) have to live like this or is there a fix?
OK, API should be back up. I gotta go skedaddle over the Donner Pass right before the snows hit—always an excellent plan. I'll check any error reports once I get over into Nevada, the one state where it never snows.
By the way if anyone has clever ideas about how to move 80TB of data more virtually, or wants an exciting unpaid internship at Pinboard ops, I'm all ears. Last time I did a full off-site backup I was chased out of California by fire, this time by ice.
For people wondering why I'm making mid-pandemic road trips with big boxes of disks, the problem boils down to an oddity of progress in tech. You can now store absurd amounts of data cheaply, but it's still hard to move it around in bulk (both inside and outside the computer)
So the box in the photo above has 29 TB of user data. Pinboard has a 100 Mbps connection to the outside world; if I used 100% of that capacity, I could theoretically back up about 1 TB/day to a remote undisclosed location, so it would take about a month to move this data
that seems pretty slow for 2021... if you had a 1Gbps (or greater) internet connection wouldn't network backups be a lot faster/more achievable at your scale?
Guaranteed bandwidth in a datacenter is shockingly expensive. Maciej, does your datacenter offer burstable bandwidth? Or are the Hertz club points good compensation?
The datacenter offers any kind of plan I like. I chose a capped 100 Mbps plan because I had no idea what I was doing. Years later, I still don't, so I keep it
Considering you can get 1 Gbps for $400/mo (and that includes the full rack), an upgrade might be in order.
Where can you get a full rack with 1 Gbps for $400 a month?
