"That's 1MB/sec" - That is literally my normal internet speed. On a good day.
-
This channel has gone 0 DAYS without Linus dropping something.
-
I swear every time Linus and Jake are in a video together it's like two brothers arguing for the entire length of the video and I love it.
-
I tried setting this up at LAN parties a couple of years ago, definetely more hassle and also DNS would crap out at some point. Glad to see it is now a lot smoother operation.
-
I wonder what generates more heat in this scenario... the PC's, or the sweaty gamers?
-
you know, after having gigabit internet, it is really hard to go back. it's a lot like having an SSD and going back to a HDD speed-wise
-
I love it when LTT delves into these highly technical projects. Who'd have thought this is how LAN events might be setup.
-
He did say "Slash Slash"
-
This kind of experience is only marginally different than the average IT project. Every new piece of software is simple. Every implementation takes 3-4x longer than expected.
-
Surprising to see this - we did exactly this back in good ol 2001-2009 era. We basically had zipped copies of all installs on a webserver and everyone would get it from there. In the odd case where we needed something new, the admin would simply go out to the internet and provide it on the portal page.
-
I always hated requiring internet for local LAN play. I remember the days when we had LAN parties specifically because it was the fastest connection between computers.
-
I literally only get 1 MB/s download . (7-9 mb/s) Scotland.
-
Linus and his tradition to drop things never gets old
-
Love when you guys dive deep into actual IT components rather than just pc builds or talking about new consumer products! Don’t get me wrong I love them too but these types of videos grasp my attention
-
My wifi has 2, 5 Mb/s ;(
-
Out of this video I have learned a huge lot of internal storage servers, thank you!
-
"We're running out of Internet" I literally tell myself this every day
-
One quick tip, from fellow Lanparty organizer. Configure your router to steal all traffic for dstport 53 and redirect it to this cache! Mikrotik can do that. So many people will leave static configuration of their DNS and that will keep you wondering why the cache do not work... No matter how many times, you tell (even IT) people to configure DNS from DHCP they will not do it, because they are too lazy ;-)
-
As a networking fan and self-learner, there is something that just gets me so excited seeing networking gear, I absolutely love it
-
the subtitles broke
