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.
Between 8-12tb… Backups…
Wanted to flex my huge upload numbers, but turns out i’m down to 20 Tb a month! Guess next few nights will be spent trying to figure out what happened.
About 1.5TB out / 500GB in.
Never thought this’d be a rookie number but I bet I’m certainly in that Top 1% with my ISP.
Router has 35d uptime, WAN interface stats shows Tx/Rx 3,9TB / 28TB. Most of the downstream is obviously IPTV and other streaming services, upstream is mostly offsite backups.
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.
Further question: do you really need to wonder if someone actually means TB or TiB? I rarely find that it matters in the great scheme of things, unless you’re buying hard drives. In which case you already know they’re using TB. 👍
This month thus far, 31tb.
Got to be a hoarder, or a subcontractor for the WayBack Machine.
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.
50-100TB
@Kairos@lemmy.today over here downloading the whole internet.
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
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?
Not much clearly
One time doubled that in a single night redownloading my steam library
Usually between 2-3TB. My ISP has a 4TB soft cap. I’ve hit that a few times
I rarely go over 1TB per month at home. It’s usually closer to 500GB. My seedbox goes through several TB per month with all of those Linux ISOs though.
I try to hit 15TB/mo automatically fetching the latest Linux ISOs for ratio. I paid for 20TB so I’m gonna use it!
Only about .5-1TB/mo personally.
Just over 8 tb since yesterday, just on getting my trove (RPG) of Linux isos
