  • 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.















  • Then that just means everything you’re looking for is common or freshly released/uploaded.

    Ppl looking for niche content, it’s not gonna be on public trackers as often.

    Also the main benefit of private vs Public is that you can find a 10-15 year old torrent of some niche content and it will still be actively seeded.

    With public trackers, there is less retention of seeders, even more so for less common content.

    Public trackers often end up with tons of dead torrents with 0-1 seeders after a couple years pass.

    And on a private tracker there is incentive to keep old torrents alive. On public there is none. Ppl grab and run.
