Yeah, but he has a CFO and a COO. While Linus does have the final say, I feel like he would listen to his CFO or COO if they thought it should stay at the shop. I'm assuming that is what he meant.
There's no way they'd do it becuase of privacy concerns but it would be super interesting to see it charted out how much they expect for the house to be subsidized and how much they actually save by using sponsors and stuff doing these insane overkill solutions vs paying for more sensible alternatives out of their own pocket

Here's the deal. Jake was pretty hard for me to watch for a while, "uncomfortably smug" would be the phrase I used. However, now that it seems he has secured his place as essential in the LTT sphere, he seems to have settled in nicely. I can absolutely see why Linus sees him as indispensable. My bad holmes
I remember in a video from a few years ago where Linus told him the viewers thought he was annoying in the last video. I think he's really grown from that moment.
All I want are price tags dinged onto the screen as he describes each piece of hardware used, then a total for the whole project. That way people can have a real-world understanding of how truly absurd these videos are for home use.
I don't really see how they are absurd. For an actual home user you should just use consumer grade products, and have consumer grade capacity. This build has over the top parts but the idea of it is not unfeasible for regular smart home hobbyists.
I love it!!! Such an over powered NAS for home use but I bet you’ll benefit from the improvements and unbox the restraints from your previous setup. Kudos to LMG for the video. Might do something similar.
Yeah definitely, the amount of tech he has is ridiculous. A lot of us will only have access to his level of tech in like 10 years at least which is just insane lol
Yeh nas servers are fun got one with a bunch of old SAS drives total of 8tb at the moment and it starts to complain when I've got less than 2 tb left that it's short on space which is hilarious to me when my friends run from 250 gb ssd's with at most a one tb hdd or something like that
I'm curious if there is any tech at all that Yvonne wants in their new house and why. Does she even care about tech in general beyond just being around it all the time?
Honestly Yvonne would be a mac user. She just needs her tech to work so she can do her actual work. On the other hand sounds like she would had a dull safe life filling prescriptions. Of course this year, that would actually be a dangerous, exciting profession.
My wifey is still using an iphone 6 plus and doesn't see the need for upgrades, but she is a sucker for hair and makeup tech, those Dyson hair product are expensive and those Foreo face craps is outrageously expensive and looks like dildos.

Hello again @linus, I tried the 8TB CX6 model, try to type "cat /proc/interrupts |grep nvmeX |wc -l", you will see that it only has 1 irq queue handler and not using all the cores that the cpu has... it might be faster on throughput but im having issues under high transactions because of this ^^ thanks for the tip!! (also if you have a suggestion about it im open to hear, i have 2x EPYC 7742 with a 1TB of ddr4 3200)
Right? Even though I know I won't be doing whatever it is they're doing but watching their vibe is just a really good mood lifter. I love watching them after I have a shitty day at work, which is like on a daily now. But, luckily they upload like every single day.
Love hearing Jake half-remember some of the time that a large percentage of the audience is in the US. "We're gonna install Zee-Eff-Ess"... "One of the great things about Zed-Eff-Ess..." "Zed-Eff-Ess list..." "Zee-Pool list..." "Raid-Zee-Two..."
Me when building server: "I'll totally use all these extra cores and Unraid features for all sorts of cool stuff eventually!" Me years later: Never done anything but had a big data pool and Plex.
thank you for the upload notification youtube, even though the video was uploaded almost a damn week ago :) luckily i check the ltt channel pretty often manually so i see pretty much all the videos by myself

Yep go see a business accountant to explain it all to you. Start a small business...it doesn't have to make money.
Couple unraid deets for Jake and Linus to improve performance for say... 30 bucks. Or 0. 1) That Asus Ethernet card - can you enable offload of ethernet processing? 2) Try switching (hah) to an SFP based interface. Your SMB performance should improve a bit from the above. 3) Unraid 6.10 should handle 10gbe better when they optimize the networking stack.
Ripping your own DVDs being a "legally grey area" is madness to me. I bought it, and as long as I don't distribute/share it, I'll use it how I like thank you...
I still remember when having a modem on a laptop in the 90's WAS THE SH!T !!! 28.8Kbps baby!!! Wooo!!! In NYC their was an arcade ("Too Much Is Not Enough") that had skate ramps all over. It was a pretty cool hang out and got a nice makeover before it's appearance in the movie "Hackers". It was a pretty cool underground tech scene until their was an investigation because someone overdosed on Ketamine.
I mean you can just have encrypted folders on your user though? You can have literal physical access to my harddrive and you still wouldn't have access to my data, even if I told you what encryption scheme I used (caveat that particular encryption could have vulnerabilities unbeknownst to me). The same works for just folders on windows/linux and I assume macos as well.
Yep, had a flashback to Stargate Atlantis with the ZPM. xD ZeePM or ZedPM... Worst about this video is that when Jake said it the subtitles said ZedFS every time rather than ZFS.
If in 10 years Linus sells this house the future owner will be like: For the time when this house was built the Wi-Fi and the ethernet was OK-ish, but now this is all just old junk.
@@randombrit13 yeah, but do you really care whether or not your phone has uhd compated to qhd? While it makes a difference and is cooler on paper, for a phone it makes hardly any noticable difference compared to hd to fhd
Yeah that and the fact he has Anthony at his disposal. Still decides to use the wrong product for the wrong use case, and the worst part is that people WILL end up paying for Unraid only to find out there’s better supported enterprise class solution available for free. I have MASSIVE ethical issue with that. A disclaimer would be nice. But then, what would they say? “We decided to go with the paid solution because it’s less supported, had less features, but looks more unfinished, but the fact that it’s unprofessional is worth every hassle” wouldn’t probably sound reasonable. For me it’s either FreeNAS/TrueNAS, else some DELL/IBM SAN. But I’d still prefer the iXsystems solution over a NAS which is more popular for it’s VM hypervisor functionality that being a NAS. 🤷♀️
For the use case, Unraids VM support is much much better than TrueNAS. The only thing is that using native ZFS is a little difficult at this point. Since you can add ZFS support to Unraid and not add better VM support, I can see why he did this. Passing through GPUs to Plex is also much easier.
And as best i can find, those drives are $1,700 EACH....and he has 12 of them, so $20k just in storage. Add to that a $2k Epyc processor, $1,600 in RAM, and that doesn't account for that chassis as I can find a price for that....just "request a quote" button for that. So I could see this maybe touching $30k for the entire build.
Cost of labor > cost of equipment these days. 5 worthless workers a month cost more than the price of many high end equipment. Unfortunately so many companies spend so much on labor they end up skipping out on good equipment.
@@Vision33r 5 worthless workers? Worthless how? It is a good thing you aren't ruler of this world, because you would kill or enslave those you deemed worthless. So 99.9999999% of Earth's population.
@mtctt He is not wrong lol, it's sponsored content by Intel. It's not like Linus is giving them 5 grand worth of upgrades out of their pockets. Stop being an annoying troll and touch grass bro. Or maybe you grew up in 11 months.
Not being a savvy tech guy, I just watch those videos for the incredible positive energy. Linus, his wife and his team deserve all the good things coming their way.
For everyone setting up ZFS for their first time: when using raidz mode you only get the IOPS of a single drive. For more performance it's better to go for striped mirrors (equivalent to RAID 1+0).
Also the recovery is WAY easier. This way if one drive dies of old age, you need to read all the data from ALL the drives, risking another catastrophic drive failure, which in RaidZ1 is baibai all data.
Or striped RAIDz(1/2/3) if you want the most capacity while still being able to choose how many stripes you want as a multiplier of the performance (3xRAIDz2 means 3 sets of 2 drives for parity, and 3xIOPS). I think Linus ultimately chose RAIDz because his 10GbE networking is the biggest limiting factor, so he wouldn’t be needing much more speed out of the drives either way, at least for movie storage and sequential transfers.
It is worth noting that with striped mirrors and a large pool of drives (any double digit number total of drives), for multi drive failures you need to pray that none of the failed drives come from the same mirror, or you’d toast the whole pool.
You know that company money and stuff isn't yours, even if you own the company? If your company goes bankrupt, you don't have to lose your personal money, your personal underwear, or your own dog. So no, he doesn't own it all.
@WolframaticAlpha I've reported it too, for what little good it'll do. Reporting people is as likely to get us banned as much as it is to get that bot account banned

I don't really see how they are absurd. For an actual home user you should just use consumer grade products, and have consumer grade capacity. This build has over the top parts but the idea of it is not unfeasible for regular smart home hobbyists.

I haven’t ever understood Linus’ preference for Unraid over TrueNAS (FreeNAS).
I believe he's friend with one of the head Unraid guys
Yeah that and the fact he has Anthony at his disposal. Still decides to use the wrong product for the wrong use case, and the worst part is that people WILL end up paying for Unraid only to find out there’s better supported enterprise class solution available for free. I have MASSIVE ethical issue with that. A disclaimer would be nice. But then, what would they say? “We decided to go with the paid solution because it’s less supported, had less features, but looks more unfinished, but the fact that it’s unprofessional is worth every hassle” wouldn’t probably sound reasonable. For me it’s either FreeNAS/TrueNAS, else some DELL/IBM SAN. But I’d still prefer the iXsystems solution over a NAS which is more popular for it’s VM hypervisor functionality that being a NAS. 🤷♀️
unRAID is nicer as you don't have to have identical drives to have easy setup
@@LMojzis Thanks for pointing all of this out, I just learned something 🙂
For the use case, Unraids VM support is much much better than TrueNAS. The only thing is that using native ZFS is a little difficult at this point. Since you can add ZFS support to Unraid and not add better VM support, I can see why he did this. Passing through GPUs to Plex is also much easier.
Linus more videos like this please ! And more tech information details like zfs -installations etc would be nice !
Linus: Gives 5000USD upgrades to one of his employees every few weeks.
Also Linus: Installs a 100TB NAS server at his home for absolutely no reason.
And as best i can find, those drives are $1,700 EACH....and he has 12 of them, so $20k just in storage. Add to that a $2k Epyc processor, $1,600 in RAM, and that doesn't account for that chassis as I can find a price for that....just "request a quote" button for that. So I could see this maybe touching $30k for the entire build.

Full circle
For everyone setting up ZFS for their first time: when using raidz mode you only get the IOPS of a single drive. For more performance it's better to go for striped mirrors (equivalent to RAID 1+0).
THIS
Also the recovery is WAY easier. This way if one drive dies of old age, you need to read all the data from ALL the drives, risking another catastrophic drive failure, which in RaidZ1 is baibai all data.
Or striped RAIDz(1/2/3) if you want the most capacity while still being able to choose how many stripes you want as a multiplier of the performance (3xRAIDz2 means 3 sets of 2 drives for parity, and 3xIOPS).
I think Linus ultimately chose RAIDz because his 10GbE networking is the biggest limiting factor, so he wouldn’t be needing much more speed out of the drives either way, at least for movie storage and sequential transfers.
It is worth noting that with striped mirrors and a large pool of drives (any double digit number total of drives), for multi drive failures you need to pray that none of the failed drives come from the same mirror, or you’d toast the whole pool.
