So I go starlink as Openreach can’t reach us with full fiber, in the starlink app I looked at our first month’s data and we had used nearly 500gb. This month so far, we are up to 765gb.
Is that a lot for a homelab house?
I also don’t have all my services here, I have most at OVH.
I do about a terabyte of traffic a day. All you good folks are seeding linux ISO’s… right?

I know, that’s why I’m asking.
What’s your number M8?
About 10TiB/mo, mostly seeding
Thank you for using TiB.
Does that help somehow? You find TiB easier to grasp mentally than TB?
Well, at least when someone says TiB, you don’t need to wonder if they actually mean something that is 10% more or not. Because quite often, TB (Terabyte) is written/said when the actual measurement was in TiB (Tebibyte)
Plus TiB are based on powers of two instead of ten which makes more sense for computers. It’s not really a practical difference (2 vs 10, not the size difference which is significant) a lot of the time but I personally find powers of two more pleasing.
This month thus far, 31tb.
Got to be a hoarder, or a subcontractor for the WayBack Machine.
Neither, actually.
800 - 900 GB per month, 2 adults and 2 minors. Moderate downloading from usenet, all services local, only reachable using wireguard.
Sounds like us, ta
Between 8-12tb… Backups…
Just the servers this month 31,7TiB and 3,4TiB. Yearly 563,6TiB and 54,2TiB. This does not count computers or other devices.
For a fair comparisson, take the smaller server, that one is acting as a more normal service, hosting Nextcloud and Immich among other daily life things.
My ISP does not have a data cap or anything like that so I pay no attention to that. What are you doing that you only use that much?
My highest of the last year:

Last month:

I do around 0.75tb per day, so like 22 per month. A lot of that is probably seeding and streaming as 90% of it is upload.
I continue to be astonished at how much data people are getting through.
Am I technogrouch for continuing to watch video at no more than 1080p?
I watch stuff at 1080p but 1.5x-2x. A 1h video at that with 6kbps and 60fps can be quite consuming especially if a lot is happening. Have that on in the background for 8h plus doing other stuff (gotta pull docker images, or the blackhole that is npm) and you get over 10GB daily easily. Add a modern game or two a month and you’re above 1TiB/month.
50-100TB
@Kairos@lemmy.today over here downloading the whole internet.
Not sure. Depends on how many of my family are using our home services that month and how often and from where.
I know I will regularly hit my mobile providers soft cap of 80GB at some point in the middle of the month on just my cell phone.
I figure the household hard line probably sees 3 or 4 TB per month at a minimum.
Usually between 2-3TB. My ISP has a 4TB soft cap. I’ve hit that a few times
One time doubled that in a single night redownloading my steam library
Oh, you sweet summer child.
