Quick warning about the Dell S4048F. If it uses an Intel Atom C2000, it could be hit by a bug that kills the switch the next time it reboots. Dell will replace it if it's under warranty, but if it's your head switch, you'll be out of commission for at least a day while they get someone to drive it out to you. I currently have a Dell S4048T that got hit with it about 6 months after the warranty ended, so it's sitting on a shelf now.

5:45 In terms of PSU efficiency with 230V, don't forget that for every watt of power saved, you're actually saving more like 2 or maybe even 3 watts, because you have to condition the power and condition the air.

@alienrenders Год назад

They said they have 208v. That's from a 3 phase system. So it's not actually as efficient as they think. Maybe I'm missing something here.

@MTKOZ Год назад

Lower voltage = more current. The efficiency is gained by having less heat for the same power.

@timothymatthews1653 Год назад

@@alienrenders It's not 3 phase, it's combined 2 phases for single phase 208V output. The PSU's get 208V input voltage which makes the PSU itself operate more efficiently. It won't really change the operating efficiency of the UPS or anything else back from the PDUs which are doing the phase combining.

@crystalsoulslayer Год назад

Every time you guys do these videos, it's a reminder of how insane the Internet is. Just getting LMG set up between two buildings that aren't even that far apart is this difficult and complex... scaling that up to the entire Internet is completely unimaginable. Shout-out to all the sysops and network engineers and installers and everyone else who keeps the little blinky light working on my Ethernet jack. Amazing.

@John-ul6rt Год назад

It's really not that hard, they just insists on pointlessly feature proofing everything only to replace it with something even newer 5 years before the old bleeding edge features would have been useful. As others have mentioned, hiring a few actually competent tech workers and not just RU-vid personalities who like tech would make these jobs much easier, but then it wouldn't triple as an upgrade, BC tax depreciation benefits, and free content I guess... They can claim 30% of the cost for these upgrades a year through depreciation, so basically they don't need to pay much if any business taxes as long as the upgrades cost enough, and they get free content. Better still, the more expensive it is, and the less competent they are in setting it up, the more content they get out of it. And if it's jank enough, even more content when it brakes, and a documented excuse to do another upgrade and repeat the cycle

@randomman057 Год назад

@@John-ul6rt They also use their networking for content which means things will continually change with their setup. It makes sense when you take that into consideration. Also, much of their equipment costs are offset by the fact that sponsors just send them $1000s worth of product. LMG gets views and sponsors know that sending free product for a potential mention in a video is far cheaper than actual ad placement. It's a win-win for everyone. I'd say it isn't for Jake due to the amount of extra work he has to do to keep up with changes, but he seems to enjoy it to an extent. I imagine any network engineer they hire is going to need to fully understand that they will be working a lot more than is typical of people in their field.

@crystalsoulslayer Год назад

@AC-cg4be Год назад

@@crystalsoulslayer He's not wrong. I do this for a living. I have for 20 years. It isn't the black magic everyone thinks it is. I explain this stuff to non-technical people (management) on a daily basis, so given their extremely short attention span I have to make it interesting and not let their eyes gloss over. It is seriously extremely simple. I currently oversee a network with about 100 buildings. This stuff is not hard, magical, or worthy of wonder. Properly set up, the equipment basically runs itself and should be designed in a way that it can take care of itself. There are loads of documents out there that describe how to set up networks. The fact is if a network is properly set up and maintained, the people overseeing the network should be able to watch cat videos all day and not have much to worry about. The fact that they seem to always need to jack with something for whatever reason tells me their network is designed for crap. If there's anything to wonder about here, wonder how LMG's network manages to stay up long enough for them to upload a video.

@crystalsoulslayer Год назад

@@AC-cg4be I don't think computers and their networking are magic. I just think they're incredible when you stop to think about it for a few minutes. It's taken centuries of work in many, many fields to get to the level of technology we now take for granted. Mathematics, chemistry, physics, engineering, robotics, even arts and philosophy: countless experts working to produce exquisitely complex mechanisms and build layers upon layers of abstraction to make it all usable. The fact that it is "easy" to build a stable system that essentially runs itself makes it _more_ amazing, not less. (The nitrous has long since worn off, by the way. This is just what I'm like.) My sense of wonder is more about the Internet in general than this little slice of it. I am a layperson, but I'm vaguely aware that LMG's network is smol and chaotic (like Linus himself lol got 'em). I am also aware that the usual sign of a good IT department is that they never seem to do anything and nobody has to think about the technology they work with every day. LMG's situation is kind of unique, though. Too big to use consumer solutions, too small to go full commercial-grade with a data center and an army of techs, the way a broadcaster or production company would. So yes, it's probably janky sometimes. Of course it is. They're improvising in a liminal space. Not only do we, the audience, get funny and informative content about networking stuff, but LMG can provide feedback to various industries about usability and weird edge cases. This is the kind of work that leads to people having manuals for how to deploy something stable and expandable and "easy" and "boring." And it seems mean to accuse them of being deliberately lazy or stupid about it.

@45mw24 Год назад

You can see how starting with a small closet of servers would grow into a mess like their original 'server room' is now. But to start with a clean sheet in the new building and instantly have a complete mess is just unforgivable. Big bundles of mostly loose network cables coming in through the side of the cabinet? check (should have been in a cable tray and entered through the cabinet roof) Vertical mounting profiles too far forward so switches are almost right up against the front door? check (fiber and thick copper cables have quite large bend radius' and the front door may impinge on that) Narrow server type cabinet instead of network cabinet? check (extra 3 or 4 inches each side = much much easier to route and tidy cables) Network gear and server in same cabinet? check (lots of reasons to seperate them out - except for a few top of rack switches in server cabinets)

Hey Linus and team, it's nice to see Eaton playing the grease the palms game with you. But keep in mind the following. What might be there end game. Free sponsering, direct control of the most critical aspect of your infrastructure. It might be a good thing to occasionally look at how others do stuff. Just to be sure you don't get stuck on one thing.

I binged all of the server related content a few months ago waiting for an update. I appreciate the detailed walkthrough of everything you have currently. I’m not a networking professional or anything, but seeing what’s out there and being implemented gives me a range of ideas for changes down the road.

This video feels like the change I experienced from when I started being de facto in-person IT for my office (we had outsourced it during that time) until now with me running the whole IT show, seeing how you just kinda stumbled your way onto a good setup is exactly how I just stumbled into becoming an IT professional 🤣

Here's a tech tip for ya: If you leave an air gap between materials, you'll get better sound isolation; you won't have sound transferring through the wall as much if there's an air gap.

adding a doorknob and weather stripping to the door to improve the seal between rooms will have 100x more impact on sound isolation than installing panels on the wall

Just deployed ceph myself, and other than performance being a bit difficult to achieve(but a fun challenge), it's basically been a distributed ZFS to run so far, highly recommend it, just make sure it's aware of your rack/building layout so data is distributed across failure domains and you don't have two copies in the same blade chassis!

@DanMcGrath77 Год назад

Daisy chained switches, while not ideal, can be made to work if you at least loop it back in on itself and allow spanning tree to block on one of the ports. The fact that this was done in the first place does indicate a possible lack of understanding of the spanning tree protocol (STP), as well as the hierarchical design. Might I suggest starting with the Cisco CCNA 200-301 premium eBook! Also, make sure you have STP enabled, and preferable rapid spanning tree, to help reduce convergence times. And if you have the ability to configure it on the root bridge, make sure the main switch is a priority of 0, or at least lower than the default 32768, so that your downstream switches don't become the root bridge. And consider adjusting your hello timers from 2 seconds to 1 second, etc. Otherwise, looks amazing!

@willdrunkenstein5367 Год назад

At this scale, I think it would serve your well to have a backup generator instead of chaining UPS

@FlyboyHelosim Год назад

Yeah I wouldn't be relying on batteries. 😂

@Masterrunescapeer Год назад

Probably due to noise, but UPS with fail-over generator would generally be the route most would take. Battery systems have gotten substantially cheaper over the last few years though, so if can guarantee that power will come back within a few hours, the maintenance etc. often makes it worth going that route instead. Generator of course if heavy machinery.

@FixitFred Год назад

First off we need some cable management across the rack - panduit makes some good stuff. By doing this you are able to remove and upgrade hardware easily since the wires are not in the way of removing the equipment. Next I would try to utilize servers that are identical as much as possible this allows stock piling of spare parts such as power supplies, drives, fans. Lastly use larger racks this allows more space for cable along the sides and room for server cable management arms and power cord routing. Also a keyboard management tray in the middle of the rack with kvm to all servers makes it fast and easy for any management that needs to be done locally.

@sydneys207 Год назад

"The database corrupted so we couldn't adopt it properly". Oh I feel that pain. I worked in a company that had about 80APs in a datacenter environment (reasons, I promise), and our VM corrupted and stopped adopting, and I *hated* the remediation.

(You can rescue the protect backup files, which are different from the Unifi backup files that get uploaded online, from the USB, but only if youre really lucky and it hasn't fully died) Source : me, dealing with each and every damn one of the 10 in my stores going down near simultaneously

Also nothing on their backups as of yet.. be interested to see how they are addressing that with 2PB of storage to deal with.

@RobRikerTechChannel Год назад

As someone that's been doing networking for 15 years professionally and holds several industry recognized certs, you're getting better with the network stuff. I can't count how many videos I've watched where networking is involved, like VLANs and how much you guys struggle to do basic networking. I get you're a small shop, but the benefit of having an actual architect and engineer available to you for the projects where networking is critical, would save y'all a TON of headaches. I cringe anytime networking is involved, cuz y'all are gamers and systems guys. But the one thing that is central to all of the cool stuff you deploy is the network and you've put the least amount of effort in needed to get where you need to be. Hate to be harsh, but it's the truth. I doubt this comment will be seen, but there's WAY better ways to do stuff than you piecemealing your network together. Just my .02 cents worth.
