2005: Reduce waste! Save the planet! 2025: Reduce cloud drive usage! Save the internet!

Linus: "some day we will run out of space." Well if you keep recording on those Red cameras, yeah we will! lol

LTT: Let's think collectivelly if we need that many memes. (few KB) Also LTT: 8k 20 min vid every day

Year 3030: "Builiding a 2000 exabytes I-Pod Classic, Will it shuffle?"

New LTT video: "The 2000 exabytes storage server"

Will the Internet run out of SPACE? I think everything will be OK as long as people don't start uploading 8 hr. long videos of 8K Yule Log fireplace..........oh,wait a minute

The internet should just boy the google drive unlimited licence. Lol

Next video: “We built our own exabyte storage but it’s already full!”

If we have 80 TB hard drives Finally enough storage for my 'homework' folder

All of that data is worthless if the storage they're on doesn't have RGB.

In 40 years Linus's grandkid will be watching this laughing as he installs windows 10 directly to his brain using his 200 exobyte SSD.

LTT: ..."Instead of bothering to delete anything..." Also LTT: "Our latest project, the 100 Exabyte server with water cooling"

Linus: "...that in just 2025" Me: yea im listening Linus: ”..in just 5 years from now’’ me: HOLD UP WHAT

Linus complaining about how many memes we have on our hard drive, when this one video is 60 memes per second...

While I’m trying to survive with only 240gb ssd

Just make the entire moon a DNA drive 2 ez.

Reads title : *_No, i don't think it will_*

*Plot Twist* - *_Is Linus going to retire for real?_*

Imagine being the KZfaq AI algorithm sifting through all of the videos on the platform, trying to find the best videos to recommend.

0:10 That's fine. I don't have anything else planned.

As long as I can keep my _homework_ folder...

Linus: informs us about the data crisis Also Linus: decided to hoard all his raw rootage in his 1 petabyte server

You brought up a good point about space. Sometimes I wonder how much space I need myself for productions. And with larger drives coming, this will never be an issue.

That's what I was thinking the other day, I mean, how long until as a creator, you can't keep your videos on KZfaq if they haven't reached a certain amount of watch time? 😱

A study by IDC... Linus, that's rude!

Might be a problem for Quantum. I'm imagining a "Quantum Drive" (sounds cooler than it really would be) capable of storing multiple data sets on the same physical space, re-constructing the appropriate information based on a queue. Maybe in combination with that new DNA based information we'd be capable of increasing our storage ten fold.

IKR, upload everything to the "cloud", most people have no clue what the cloud is.

LTT: „Let’s upload petabyte project to Google Drive.“

Will space run out of the internet?

More space? *DELETE FACEBOOK!* The company, not just your account ...

I wish I had that much storage avaliable

Linus : *Will the internet run out of space?* Also Linus : *Manages run’s out of space on a 9999999 terabyte’s of server space*

I know they are working on alternate forms of data storage; I hope they succeed

Haha, changing the location on KZfaq to Great Britain to have GB behind the KZfaq logo :-D

i try to go thru my storage at least once or twice a year during the holidays and summer but even then the storage continues racking up. The worst thing is trying to find something and not knowing where you put it or thinking you've lost it only to find it later or even the worst case scenario, you're 1TB hard drive fails and all of your data is either lost or corrupted. It's impossible to put everything in one place which just makes backups, organizing data, and condensing that data so much harder

"We use too much space" Meanwhile, uploading his random video in 4K

WAN show: 20tb magnetic drives are dumb! TQ: we need bigger magnetic drives!

That's a lot of data..

I love this video! More data center and internet tech videos plz♥️

Freaky. Thankfully I always go through my files and delete pointless things every few months. Been on 1TB for 5 years now.

Who cares? I'll just buy a Commodore 64 and use my old tapes as storage.

i found this at about 350 views. that's the quickest i've gotten to a techquickie video

I'm showing this video to a business i'm a consultant for that has me archiving Outlook meetings and user profiles from employees that worked there for 4 months.

There could be a way to save space buy reducing the amount of duplicates on the web, say that you have an image of yourself on twitter and the exact same on posted on facebook, it takes up 2x the amount of space on two different servers. If we could somehow have some sort of central repository to store data, or some sort of service that would check independent servers for duplicate information. Im sure a solution like this would definitely require alot of effort and probably have huge security flaws, as well as having companies and other entities working together

For a moment I thought he said "final episode".

the new canon 1dx3 fills a 128gb card within 12 minutes... so yes, more storage is super important ;)

Was talking about this the other day, food for thought.

Right now we're enjoying the abundance of storage space and our demands are growing exponentially. We do not have infinite abundance, however. And eventually, scarcity will limit us. I think that would make a good premise for a book. What will we do when there isn't enough storage space for everyone?

Linus. You should realy look into IPFS! The Interplanetary Filesystem

I read the title as: Will the internet run in space? That should be a video

500 years later.. THE PURGE: Internet edition

Love your work bro

I love the internet!!!!

Come on guys, we know most of the data created is porn..

At some point i think companies like Google will start charging fees for their services we are taking too many things for granted for free like uploading 4k videos on KZfaq or streaming video games which takes huge amount of data .

@0:50 "not _all_ of that ends up on the Internet".... are you suuuuuure about that, Linus? haha

Never been this early (1 minute ago) Omg this is a milestone :)

Every minute....Linus gets a like on a vid.😁

and we're only browsing 10% of the internet.

I'd imagine storage to become even smaller and more powerful over time.

I recommend cutting intros and ads

KZfaq is Drunk again 14 likes and 1 view

3:19 Interesting...But i prefer to communicate through the "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" method.

so summing up, the limitations for the Internet are:- - Space (for data centres) - Power (lets face it for every step of the process from data centres down to routers and network switches) - how clever data compression gets - the one which was not mentioned in the video, the physical material required to build the drives to store the data on. unfortunatly its not so easy to pin down what materials are required per say TB

I'm early make me feel famous

Old days: stop wasting plastic things! Save the planet! Later in the future: Save internet cloud storage data!

cant wait for "The Purge"

Future: dedicate an entire star/moons/planets to store data

I enjoyed the quickie.

It should be noted that if we have the densist possible data storage, it would instantly collapse into a blackhole. A black hole is at the theoretical limit for information density, which is surprisingly proportional to its surface area, rather than volume.

Thanks for the quickie Linus. ;)

Mind blowing numbers!

Well the storage is constantly expanding. When we get shortages of data the cost of cloud storage will go up and then the storage will either get expensive enough that people will delete things or the production will increase.

If there was connection database between all servers that linked up every identical image, video or whatever (whether it be the same meme shared on Reddit and Twitter or a KZfaq video also in someones Dropbox) then you could significantly save storage across the web if they were kept in maximum four places as opposed to possibly hundreds (as with the case of most memes). Do you think something like that would be possible both theoretically and in the real world?

Deduplication is also worth mentioning, as smarter block-based deduplication algorithms are saving countless bytes from needless redundancy.

I remember the days when 1GB was a lot... and I remember thinking when I got my first 1GB memory stick (flash drive) thinking... I will never need a new one again what could I possibly own that was bigger than 1GB... man things changed fast... that was only half my life ago :P

Internet: i've been thinking of retiring

Imagine how much storage we can free up if all the porn sites were shut down. We could use that for much better things!

Linus "some day we will run out of space" Also Linus: Uploads 10hours 8k video of the fireplace

What I want to know is when data is stored in nano disk or DNA what it's the mechanism to have it read or retrieved. Or is that for storage primarily.

I've been asking myself the same question about you since I first found out about it since 2014

The year is 3020. Games don’t go down because of DDOS attacks anymore - they go down when the Serverplanet get attacked.

We store in counterspace if we run out of whatever limited space is available.

This reminds me of 'yesterday's worry'.... and that was/is IPV4 running out of addresses..... and AFAIK, I'm still on IPV4 at home and mobile. So.... we found more addresses, I guess?

The solution to this is outer space, beyond cloud storage.

Internet starts to slow down Me: buys a new Mac pro Internet: not going to change Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Never underestimate human ingenuity and the desire to not be forgotten. When story telling wasn't enough, we learned to write things down, then we learned new ways to store our writings/drawings/animations, then we learned how to do it digitally on physical medium we'd pick up and carry around, then we learned how to store it on the local network, then we learned how to network our networks together and store things in the cloud. Maybe the next step is to store things out in space and have storage on a galactic scale.

Not gonna lie, from the video title I was 100% sure it was going to be about Starlink... running the internet from space down to Earth.

Just thinking about the processing power and inbound bandwidth needed for that is mind boggling...let alone the outbound. So how many hours of video are watched every minute? :)

No, because the human eye can only see up to 1TB of storage .

The Orville, STD is the best version of the jealous girlfriend meme.

"Which you can learn right here" WHERE'S THE LINK LINUS?!

*Holy shit the bit at the beginning relates to me SO hard!*

surely we can get better at compression, my understanding is that most things are currently compressed individually, but we could perform compression across larger datasets eg reddit could find all the memes and only store the bits that vary between them just like some video compression does. twitter could find all the pictures of peoples food and just delete them because who cares what you had for breakfast

I think we should actually be tackling this now. I think about all the redundant emails people have sitting in their account. Sure, they're tiny amounts of data, but so is a little piece of rubbish and look at what we've got in our landfills

I'm looking forward to watch Linus water cooling the 100TB HDD in 2025

heres me getting a headache over filling 500gb on my 2th drive think damn i need to clean this up and slim things down lol

If they come for my memes, they will need to pry them from my cold dead hands.

The most efficient data storage physics allows is encoding the information on the event horizon of a black hole - and no, we wouldn't run out of space

Imagine that how much data you produce gets legislated first than how many children you can have.
