IF He does get both of the processors he wants for his rendering behemoth, it'll be worth more than $10,000...More valuable than most college student's means of transportation.

Just saw his $35K one :D

Mythricia Hey not to bother but did you notice a difference in video quality between youtube and vessel when i wathced on vessel it looked cloudy like the contrast was high. but vessel also seemed sharper then youtube.

Orrrr no vessel but youtube. Both doesn't go well.

money talks nigga, he signed a contract, saying we give you money from our subscriptions and you put your content up on vessel earlier 3, 2 or 1 days. They go to youtube tell your subs to go there. Vessel cost $3 a month.

***** So its not just me though my only problem is the contrast. Vessel really needs updates including manual resolution control any control really but I have a free year so...

Mythricia but on here we watch in 4k, vessel currently does not support 4k :/

Switch it to HD at the bottom it is standard set to auto.

MrRyanDew I did. Still looks like it's running a high bitrate 480p or low bitrate 720p

true story man. vessel sucks

KZfaq is better than vessel

Watching videos on vessel with my 4k display is just so painful.

Little Pinoy the new office is just in a warehouse state right now I'd wait a month or two until they properly prepare it and move there. Linus posted an instagram picture having painting the warehouse.

***** oh right, thanks for that :)

Hopefully

Little Pinoy He said in a wan show that they will

TTate oooh (Y) can't wait, i wouldn't have known since i don't usually watch their wan show. anyways thanks for that

Sam Cooper The number of users is not the determining factor, it's data and transaction volume. And if you've got two users hitting the server over independent 10 gig-e ports and transferring a good 1-2 GB/s, you'll see those cores saturate more quickly than you'd think.

It's also going to be about file size. They are transferring huge files, I presume. Doing so, especially in a distributed (as in raid) environment, and with potential fragmentation adds a significant load if you want your data to be as quick as your interconnects.

totoritko No you won't - the NICs are doing TCP offloading. The core speed/count is hardly an issue.

Dan Wier This is why there is cache on the controller... Further, I highly doubt that any single client to this server has the local storage to support saturating 10 Gb links.

like you said man, he just put together whatever the sponsor gave him, here it is.(10gbit for fast speed and then later he says don't need speed but readability when the hard drive part came up)

+Eric N This comment makes me crack up every time I see it :D

I doubt losing a few bits in a video really affects anything noticeable. You're just regurgitating what Wendel said on The Tek, where he was more focused on integrity of more vital things such as documents and source code.

I do agree with you, not completely though. ZFS is a great file system to consider for large raid arrays and paired with FreeNAS, its off to the races. But, you have to understand that there is no sure fire way to protect your data a 100% of the times. The best you can do is to reduce the probability to a certain extent that it is VERY unlikely to happen. ZFS is great because it warns you if a drive is going bad and gives you enough head time to fix it. Also, RAID-Z. RAID-Z 3 allows you to lose up to 3 drives before suffering a complete data loss. Which believe it or not comes in handy when rebuilding large arrays.

100TB FreeNas will need at least 100Gig of Ram... jeeeeessssuuuuusssss!

Benjamin Puna He has a 128gig kit.

Kony Hawk Pro Slaver I would agree with you, except in a RAID array, you either lose nothing or everything. So its not about losing a few bits rather about losing everything.

+Joseph Chong Im typing this comment on an Asrock machine. I like them a lot

+Joseph Chong Asrock are on par with Asus, which isnt surprising considering as Asrock are a shoot-off company of Asus.

+Ibeechu In defence of Asrock, this wasn't a server-grade board, however much that matters which I assume is a lot.

Agreed. I've only ever had an Asrock board die on me. and bare in mind I still have 775 boards from many years ago

man, so random to write you here but i really liked this comment. i know it's been 4 years, but i ended up on this video as i am having some concerns about my little production company's server situation. we have a 60tb server we use for edit, however it's not so fast - also, it's just a synology nas. i don't know what the next step is, and i would love to ask a guy like you for advice! it's hard to come by proper guidance in these matters.

Due to YT rule changes, they can no longer put annotations in for sponsorships like they used to.

Chubbysumo really? ahh! So why do they still produce content with the 'presenters' talking about sponsors, and pointing to a screen location? Or has the content been made a while ago?

Ryan Games I do find that annoying even when it is a link to their own videos as it just makes the video look unfinished

yumri4 same

Ryan Games The content was probably made awhile ago. its a policy that directed at people exactly like Linus that were sidestepping google getting their cut by plugging their own ad in the video, along with providing sponsor link annotations.

Ikr

No one is going to notice a difference since videos will still get uploaded everyday. 1 weeks 1 video a day then wait a week and feels like normal on youtube since other week videos are getting added for release everyday. If that made sense

orangeapples Because a disturbingly large number of people are complete and utter morons... Even when I and several others explained simply to them that LTT had doubled vid production in order to maintain their 1 a day youtube schedule while uploading the extras to Vessel at that time in order to ensure a seamless transition they still acted offended. On top of that Linus explained this personally on both the announcement vid and prior on the wan shows (which I understand everyone doesn't watch) so the misconception never should have happened, my only explanation is that those individuals are mentally challenged, being deliberately obtuse or simply didn't watch the vid before raging and are thus childish fools. regardless as we tried to explain to said individuals of little mind if you forget that vid ever existed then NOTHING has changed.

True. He shouldn't have made that vid, a simple announcement on WAN Show would have been enough. Lots of people won't notice it. I don't mind.

Yeah there is a big fuss going around

(this is not aimed at you but i describe a few things in this) Many of you complain that Linus is moving to Vessel. The problem is that you are making a false complaint about what Linus is doing. Linus is not moving away from his conventional video platform (KZfaq) but instead letting us view his work one week earlier then we would normally see it. There are positives and negative points to the videos being queued on Vessel. I will address the positive and negative side of the process of queuing videos on Vessel. I will start out by saying that you have probably noticed that when i talk about Vessel and Linus putting up videos I do not refer to it as a "move" but merely a queue for the videos to go on KZfaq. Many of you guys feel that Linus is leaving the KZfaq space. This could not be any more false then what it is. Linus is not leaving or moving to a new service. Linus is merely giving us a chance to see his videos one week in advance. Many people in the Linus Tech Tips (LTT) community should or have known that many of the videos his team makes now do already sit in a queue waiting for there release date and to be posted on KZfaq. By queuing them into Vessel first he is essentially giving you a one week early look to what his team has made. Linus has mentioned that any item or events that are time sensitive (if waited a week would be old news) will go straight to KZfaq and Vessel. This is great for people that are in the situation to were they can not watch the stream due to internet problems, and do not have a Vessel account. This also means that you will not need a Vessel account to get the event coverage you want. In addition to the above paragraph many of you complain that Vessel is a horrible service and many of you can not load the videos without stuttering or the video freezing. I will admit when i use Vessel it sometimes will never load or the graphical user interface kills me to look at and navigate. Vessel is by no means perfect to use or as easy to use as KZfaq. The thing Vessel does do good at though is supporting Linus and his employees. Vessel will allow us to enjoy the growth of production quality we have come to love from his team. Vessel will open new doors in the growth of Linus Media Group that we will come to love. If you have problems with Vessel or do not like it then do not use it. Just do not complain about it to Linus because I want to see is team grow and produce more things like scrap yard wars. The last point i have is what many people hate and that is change. When change takes place we only focus on the negative parts of the change but not the positive because we have become so accustomed to the old ways we feel that we should not have to do something different even if it is better. We want it the way we have been doing it because that is what we are comfortable with. How does this relate? The problem is that this paragraph does not relate to what Linus media group has done on the KZfaq side of things. Linus post every day still (Same), Linus has a release schedule (Same), Linus post event coverage right after an event (Same), Big products like top of the line graphics cards post on KZfaq as soon as NDA is off (Same), and in all his new videos and old he has annotations to other videos on KZfaq for KZfaq (same). In conclusion I believe that Vessel will give Linus Media Group the ability to grow into something bigger than what they are now. Also if you feel this is a change to Linus Tech Tips on KZfaq you are just wrong.

Yeah ok.....

Fuck You.

My dad works at Nintendo too

Haych nah nintendo uses wiis for there servers

Egguar Baggins indeed lol

its a shitty switch

Victor P You should wash your hands after using the bathroom to keep your switch clean.

Dave L The switch wouldn't get near any I've implemented that's for sure. It's crap.

TKSnatch Any idea why? Firmware? Poor quality electrolytic capacitors? Cooling issue?

@dave l shut up helpdesk !

Kristopher Phillips 100% agree there, I was crying tears of sorrow when I saw that mess of a bathroom. I have seen many messy server rooms in my life, but as far as production deployments go, this one takes the cake.

Steal a part and ill give ya $500

10Gbit internal and external is different. Maxing 10gbit internally streaming RAW 4k is easy. Especially with many editors. Maxing 10gbit externally is a little more difficult. And expensive at that.

Suicidal_Tissue you don't know what you're talking about, son.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. You state that you work for a satellite company when you can't differentiate between 10GB and 10Gb. And yes, it is fairly simple to peak a 10Gb link, my streaming and working directly with RAW 4K footage.

10Gb backbone _is_ ridiculously expensive, but LAN? Not so much. Fairly decent 10Gb switches are around £1k, and desktop NICs are around £350. If you've got four editors streaming ProRes or RAW at 4K over that network... yeah, you're gonna max that out very quickly. I'm moving my home network to 10Gb because I use iSCSI mounted drives on a storage server instead of internal drives, and 1Gb can be a massive bottleneck.

I noticed that as well...

PR move. So many dislikes. Linus is a stats man, only the good stats though. The trolling on that upload was the stuff of legend.

Damn I wish I could see. I'm reading about Vessel right now, it seems like a total joke. They are asking us to pay US$3 (I live in NZ) to get videos 72 hours early!? wooohooo. And they'll STILL roll ads. I disable my adblocker for KZfaq to support the creators I watch and yet they seem to be getting more greedy and willing to fill the pockets of that ex-Hulu guy in order to make a few extra dollars. No thanks..

You're right. I don't see it up anymore. Hmm....

Is on vessel xD

They are trying to get views and generate hype. They get more money for doing that.

So?

They are a company, they can't pay employees with dust.

get a job, earn some money

afiq 000 #FUCKINGSAVAGE

.... because the top 1% wants it that way. In the days of kings and pharos, the top monarchs had their slaves. it's NO different in this day and age. The minute anyone is born in this age, they are born into debt and poverty. Even if you want an education, that only means MORE DEBT. This is a shit planet of slavery and bloodshed. Do the research.... Learn as much as you can. the fact that you are asking this questions means you are miles ahead of the game. good luck in the journey towards awakening.

Ya

Unforevable The time people put into creating content is a lot more than it actually seems :)

You'd be surprised how bananas the storage requirements for 4k lossless video are. Source files, projects, rendered files, extras, etc etc can pile up terrifyingly quickly.

WhoWatchesVideos a 2 hour long 4k raw footage clip is a couple hundred GB. I know this first hand.

Not just that do not forgot that they have to run a server as well.
