   @jaydax @falcennial And then data (porn) got higher resolution, and bandwidth went up.

   So then we got 40MB drives. Then 120 ...

   Lather, Rinse, Repeat

     @elfin @jaydax @falcennial I remember a LAN party way back and this kid Andy showed up, I think he had an 8GB HDD and it was 7.5GB of porn that he refused to delete so he couldn't install any games

     @elfin @falcennial @jaydax back in 2019 we had 500EB and mirrored between multiple datacenters. I don't know the actual usage right now, probably a few thousand PB of actual porn lol #JustAdultEntertainmentHostingThings

     I lived working for Adult Content providers.

     * The work is just Systems and Storage, easy enough.
     * They pay Really, Really well.
     * They pay on time.

     - Sales Guy at one, found an old Dell Server box and used it to sneak in a shitload of sandwiches, 6 pack beer, fruit juice, coffee (real), chips and salsa/guac (they heard it was my favorite), and handed me gift certificates for Starbucks $50, Gordon Bierch $100 because I was pulling 32h solid. Much amused.

     It was funny as hell.
     And they (same company) had the hookup for really good weed and hooked an Elf with a solid half-O to keep me chill (I was moving them from a Tier4 Data Center (anyone remember Exodus?) in San Jose to (Ghetto CoLo) in San Francisco (for bandwidth reasons). Not a bad start to a gig.

     So yeah, they got me high, and I moved their back-end.

     I'll just set that there.

     Blatantly violating every Data Center rule was pretty ballsy (and funny a hell).
