I agree. Bootstrapping is best if possible.

Why 100 years if there's exponential growth? I think it could be more like 50 years.

Congrats on the launch!

Thank you!

I've gone a step further, I have built a 50 TB NAS and I'm loading up as much as I possibly can.

I’d love some detail on your setup. Which NAS, which drives? Key data sets? (Would love to build one myself)

I have 4 Seagate Exos X18 14TB drives crammed into a JONSBO N2 Black NAS ITX Case. 2 TBs of SSDs, and 64 GB of RAM. (Going to double the ram soon)

Why is it useful to have as much as 64GB of RAM in a NAS?

What if you want to load all of Wikipedia and images on the RAM for even faster access of every page?

No, and not even close. The bottle neck is the network, so unless he is running a database in the background, it is not going to improve speed in the least. 14TB drives are not that fast. Video 4gb, or 8gb, and as little ram as possible. Not much processing is needed either. That is why NASs are built in celerons. In 6 years, when he knows something, he will see the extreme error of his ways.

My NAS has 2x2Tn striped and a video 1Tb. It streams 4k to multiple sources. If I needed faster, I'd throw it on the install server. 4x1TB striped, and 8Gb of ram. 2xGbit net. Did it tell you this cost all of $60?


hmm know what I can search for to find this?


To be fair, In-N-Out is an outlier. Privately owned, non-franchised, and probably makes a profit on massive volume with likely very small margins.

In N Out also has the smallest menu of any fast-food joint and has a very vertically integrated supply chain: They own their own meat production plants, cut their own potatoes into fries, operate their own bakeries etc.

Hear, hear. I've worked for software companies for 18 years. In that time, I've taken 4-5 years off on sabbaticals to travel the world.

Life is too short to _not_ do that, in my opinion.


Interesting. This is what has stopped me from self hosting music. I love the discovery you get from Spotify and other music streaming services.


I was a big fan of knockoutjs back in the day! An app I built with it is still in use today.
