@p had our lawyer put in our bids to acquire odysee

@Christmas_Man @p nope, my idea is to cold store inactive videos on much cheaper 5400rpm drives, maybe even CMR you can buy for pennies now. odysee structure is keeping all media on hot storage, very costly and not wise. i have a lot of ideas to reshape and fix odysee. people here know i can do it. i just need the ability to
plus poast's datacenter guy is behind us in donating hardware we need whenever for it
-
I imagine having a guy that's willing and able to rifle through perfectly good eWaste probably helps cut down harware cost. There was always so much perfectly good brand new shit I saw go out the door at AWS, I don't imagine it's much different at many other places.
-
Yeah, I imagine that just scaling up the build wouldn't directly translate too well to a VoD platform
-
Damn, didn't realize how many different AZs you were in!
-
@Christmas_Man @p each one of those PoPs has a couple edge servers too. we can handle Tbps thruput on poastcdn. but I would build a new one for odysee from the ground up

@p our datacenter guy is on board for infra for part ownership or as a donation so a lot of the heavy lifting is covered. hope they accept
-
I've always been curious: you just got a bunch of hosts in couple racks at a CoLo or what, like how much infra does poa.st take?
-
@Christmas_Man @p i wouldnt do that -- CMR is a nightmare to restore in a RAID. im talking cold, cold storage. so videos that get accessed once every 6 months and only once -- it gets moved to hot storage and expired after 3 days. that will save a fortune on its own
-
@p I'd like to issue a warning to all of you that if this ends up in somebody elses hands it's likely going to be a not nice time. there's nobody who wants to buy a "alt right" streaming platform for any reason other than they support the cause, or they want to turn your data over
i would be wise for all of you to stop using odysee, purge data you can from the site, change emails on accounts before the auction takes place in a week
-
@graf @p Yeah, I'm sure someone who can't answer a simple question on how he himself would handle the user's data can be trusted instead.
-
@DutchBoomerMan @ellington It's a mistake for security planning to rely on trusting a third party.

@ellington @poa.st @p
Personally i dont trust either of them but hey thats just me and I am old and wacky
so pay no head
