Check out my HUGE Rack! - New House Network Update 

@@robsyoutube That was the office, and not even one she had to work in. Pretty sure that would not have been accepted in the living room. By either of them probably.

@@farminglol When you realize Linus is planning to exhaust the heat from the server room into the pool in the future.

@@ZNotFound PC powered jacuzzi /s

@@ZNotFound Would actually be a pretty smart idea. And with water/water heat exchanger not even that hard to achieve. With full gaming load from the whole family, it might contribute quite a bit to heating the pool. Then again, it no longer contributes to heating the room at that point.

The title of this video made me think a well-endowed girl would appear somewhere during the segment.

She laughed?

@@cartoonhanks1708 Well... more like rolled her eyes. 😉

@Thomas Bonse I suppose when you’re married it’s pretty much the same thing lol.

@@TH3C001 Well, she reacted, which is the same if you've been married for a while. Worst is if she'd ignored it.

I'm sure they want to hold on to that hot pink paint for all the orders they'll get for it..

I don't think they wanted to buy any more Pepto Pink Paint than they had to. So with Linus it might just be a few vials of touch up paint, or it might be a quart, you never know with him after all...

Am I the only one who saw him stab it lol

Linus thing size of paint would probably be gallon size.

Also, the paint's possibly why those nut things didn't fit any more

timestamp?

12:33

Especially after all the stuff he gets on the other employees over for taking home 😂

Honestly, that color is amazing. They really got that one right.

Agree

They usually run the shop like Henry Ford lol.

@@SixOThree And it feels like the video isn't doing it justice. Kind of like the video that Tom Scott published a long way back about the pink that he couldn't properly show on camera.

Too bad it’s powder coating 😂😂

@@trav3rsy ackshully you can measure solids by volume. It's very rarely done though.

​@@adampope5107 The issue is that you can't apply powder coat without the right equipment.

No worries, Linus just has to take off the door and ship it back for repainting each time he chips it.

@@hentaihero2201 I know. It's just a joke.

Yepp, having moved a few hundred racks and their content between datacenters and multiple flights of stairs by hand, I fully agree. In addition to thay, I can confirm that dragging over 10 PB of storage on a cart with hard cast tires tends to weed out the weak drives from the rest. A great way to stop storing all that old useless data the beancounters want to keep around.

There is a big difference between "we pay RU-vidrs to push our stuff because its so crap no-one would buy it otherwise" and "we give stuff to RU-vidrs who will give is great exposure for our awesome products"

yah one involves lying

When does she get her new rack do ?

Ubiquiti cage nuts also suck. I've had some that just never went in. So I started getting AC Infinity cage nuts separately, they're almost too easy to put in.

Funnily enough RackSolutions Cage nut tool doest even support the Ubiquity Cage Nuts if you check on their product page

Jeff, you got to send him a pi cluster!

@@gustavrsh yeah he could do ai facial recognition based profiles like spotify playlists on ceiling speakers or personal humidity and tempature levels.

probably enough space for a few Petabytes… where‘s the 1PB Ram servers?😂

lol

Hello Jeff, good to see you.

What the gigs (referring about the 10 vs 25go) are for? I understand they are building a kind of an all-in one house network where he can have acces to video security, but I guess also manage device connected to it because it's a glorified routeur, but what the gigs are for the first device they install at the complete bottom of the rack?

@@Mutantproduct That is a UPS, ergo no gigs.

@@Mutantproduct moving data around, mo gigs, mo faster

@@Mutantproduct gig is short for Gigabits per second.

@@Mutantproduct The device at the bottom, with the lithium batteries, is a UPS. Which stands for "Uninterruptible Power Supply". It's basically a power supply with a big battery in it, so if the power cuts out - e.g. there's a blackout on the local grid - then it can keep running the whole rack off the battery instead (at least for a while, because I mean racks use a lot of power, so you can't run them off batteries for too long - but the idea is it should be long enough for the blackout to end / backup generators to kick in / some alternative power solution to take over). Depending on capacity, a UPS could just be to keep the rack alive long enough to safely shut down. Many UPSes have a signalling mechanism, so if the power does cut out and the rack goes onto batteries, it can actually signal this to the servers in the rack. You can then set those up to safely shut down the system, in the event of power loss - before the battery runs out. And by ensuring the machines can shut down cleanly, you can ensure no data loss. With a bigger battery, though, you can keep the rack alive for longer and maybe you could keep things up for a while, which is hopefully long enough for the boys who run the grid to fix the power outage problem. That's the essence of the "uninterruptible" part of the name. Not even blackouts will bring the rack down. Mind you, Linus did say that he's going to have solar - and, presumably, a Powerwall to go with that, to fully utilise all that Sun power? - and those implicitly act as a kind of UPS too. At least as long as you've got enough sunshine in the day to fill the battery to last overnight, then the system can never go down while the Sun still rises every morning (plus, totally Greta-approved "eco" solution). We had a small UPS for our cluster of servers at work (I'm the dude that built the cluster and runs it). We had a local power outage. And the UPS totally worked. Our system stayed up for about 20 minutes and the local power was restored before then. It worked flawlessly. Slight problem, though. Our ISP - delivering our Internet - clearly didn't have as robust of a system in place, as the Internet went down during the power outage. But, hey, our servers maintained their "uptime" perfectly. Just a shame that, during the blackout, they couldn't actually communicate with any other machines over the Internet, rendering that "victory" somewhat pointless. But, hey, not my fault. I did my job perfectly and it worked. It was the boss who chose our ISP, so I can blame him for the poor decision. Anyway, yeah, the device at the bottom is a battery-backed power supply. There are no "gigs" - which is a measure of connection speed - with that. It's a "volts and amps" power thing, not a "gigabits per second" bandwidth thing.

Didn't Lawrence have a nuts that were plastic since all the metal ones suck in their rack video?

@@Braiam Yep.. but, I personally don't trust plastic enough. 🤦‍♂️

Ubiquiti requires a blood sacrifice to install its equipment

@@vdna5492 So they are really old-school. Back in the old days you couldn't build a PC without blood sacrifice on some panel or piece of sharp metal in the case.

This comment is on point! They are terrible!! I've ripped my thumbs apart fighting with them in the past. Never again! I just leave them right in the box!

The dude's like a 110 pounds. A fucking toddler would beat him xD

@@Boodoo4You yeah they did really well doing it the most difficult way possible, If they unpacked it from where they started and removed both doors and side panels they woulda easily been able to carry it.

His knowledge of both technical and random things and his chemistry with Linus put videos like this among my favorites.

oh, thanks Linus. Now my post has a heart on.

They're a little old to be playing with a dolly...

Clearly not a mover if he is calling it a dolly

​@@TheGamingJs at my job we either called it a dolly or we went with 2-wheeler and 4-wheeler to better specify what we needed.

@@justinmcgough3958 and a 6 wheeler does stairs ... also could have lightened be partially disassembling the rack ...

Its a Double D rack and Linus is having trouble with the nipples.

I never understood the hate on jake like what’s annoying about him?

I agree. I couldn't stand him before. Now I know it's an interesting video if Jake is it

Agreed, for sure. Acted like an immature spoiled brat, cocky and annoying. Now he's just immature and annoying, which give a nice chemistry with Linus.

Very underrated comment 😂

It's like a metroid game or something

Are the clearances really that tight?

Yes.

How does she put up with him? lol

@@Admiralfeb Because he makes millions

Also dropping things ON it lol 18:11

Yeeeeaaaaah. I thought those came in the bag of cage nuts that generally ship with racks. If their rack didn't come with it, that's either one sadistic vendor or a really nasty oversight.

Done a tonne of work in DCs and hadn't known of those tools for years, was the best work day almost ever when I got a few

Give hate on this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_DIO9JZgek0.html

Heh, that was a catchy section indeed. :)

I've just accepted that the network racks require a blood sacrifice to stay off future failures.

no blood?? how do you appease the Datacenter gods?

BUT it was painted 2x...so likely made it nearly impossible to get them installed.

I also like the Patchbox Dev/Mount solution for mounting things, never had such an easy time building out a rack as when i used those.

I wasn't laughing as much as asking if they simply couldn't watch a RU-vid video on installing cage nuts. Almost every rack I've had to build has come with it's own little hook tool to pull the cage nuts into place.

i've used those ubiquiti cage nuts before... they do just suck. cheap amazon ones work so much better.

@@kwith You're lucky he's not barefoot in his own house.

I've always had decent luck with the way Linus ended up doing it - Line up up side and "thumb" the other side in with a flathead screwdriver Fairly reliable, with a common tool

Sharing loads inside big racks? That sounds a bit cozy.

At work we always remove all the side panels and doors of new racks when stairs are involved (On the way to the final destination of the rack) ;)

That's what she said!

It's pink, and it's tight. Hmmm.

@@FrietjeOorlog That's what... He said?

@@FrietjeOorlog It's long, and it plugs into a socket...

bosses care about $$$$ not color nor fashion. don't know where you work or who your bosses are but unfortunately your comment doesn't make sense. its like a janitor complaining about the color of the urinal dividers or toilet stalls. who gives a chit? and how can the color change or affect anything or anyone ?

@@bober1019 Color's a marker of personality. As I mentioned, my bosses aren't tech-savvy. Where you're right is that they only care about up-front costs *at the onset*, but add a few years of watching the IT guys disappear into that weird, dark, screaming closet where strange machines sound like they're powered by their own decibel output; and some familiarity starts to set in... I don't think a small Marketing agency that handles car dealerships around Eastern Canada would ever see the need to spray-paint a server rack hot pink - but the *possibility* of it amused my higher-ups. That's what my comment was pointing towards. It's led to a few jokes and comments concerning how we might conceivably make the server room more "liveable". When Management figured we needed to revamp our furniture, we repurposed two chairs and a side table, set a few blank mugs and magazines on it, and staged a mock lounge right next to the rack, complete with a nice little bowl holding a few pairs of disposable foam ear plugs. We took a few pics, pretended to be chilling out, then brought the stuff out and chucked it in the trash container. It got a few laughs out of our colleagues, at least.

@@McSquiddington You laugh, I've seen things in server rooms at NBC. They're probably gone by now. People practically live there.

@@firesurfer Wouldn't be surprised if someone thought up a fake set of racks that hides a Murphy bed, or if some CTO figured they'd stash their weed in some corner...

@@bober1019 it's a npc fishing for likes

yeah

ur profile pic looks kinda like somebody named eggcrypted’s profile

that's what living vicariously means

Yeah Linus with his Kiwis have played really well.

my most prized tool is a thumb detecting nut fucker, its good for nothing but destruction, but its so good at it...

thank you for this factoid

more like it should be called a Linus tool its just like him will let it slip and destroy everything it touches.

Crescent wrenches, also known as "Adjustable Spanners', or more lovingly the 'Mexican Speed Wrench', or 'Swedish Nut Rounder'

As someone who has uncrated many racks fully loaded with gear for data centers...impact guns with socket adapters are the way to go.... Also, there's supposed to be a ramp included in the skid so you can just roll the rack down...

Yes, they having sex.

I had to scroll way too far to find someone mentioning this

@@JuanSanchez-zz3me lol I couldn't find any other comments either

I did not even think Lunis owned a pair of actual shoes.

I can't believe hes wearing shoes. Everything in the rack will need a repaint to match. I bet the layers of paint are what make the rack nut openings smaller. Will Linus move in before his kids graduate High School?

@@jasonfabrick9308 I don''t know. I deal with servers in a rack at work. Nuts, rails, all of that stuff. It always sucks. Doesn't matter who the manufacturer is. The usual goal is to try to get things done, whilst only suffering two or three minor flesh wounds. If you can manage that, then you've done a good job.

Only available in the iOS version of the app still sadly.

It's all just free advertising for their 'sponsors'. He has so many subscribers and viewers. Eventually they will hit a wall when they've finally reviewed everything possible. At some point he will spin off a sub-channel to start reviewing non-tech products.

Totally agree except for the risk of scratching that sick paintjob

I gotta second this you can cut the weight of a 250 pound rack by almost 100 by doing that. Also if I was the guy terminating the cat6A cables into that cabinet I would be taking out at least 1 switch as that will make it so much easier to terminate nice and neat.

It's like carrying all the groceries in one trip. It's a "real man" thing and Linus feels the need to prove he's a real man.

@@JosephBall I would say it is more because of the higher risk to damage that paint job

@@Adrian-jn9ov I'm sure, 'twas a joke friend.
