infrasturctures

I’m been wondering what’s running behind the scenes. I see system admins talking about prices from time to time, so I take notes.

没吃过猪肉,还没见过猪跑吗

Case: linux mirror (Jan. 2025)

mirrors.kernel.org transfers ~1PiB of data weekly. At Equinix Metal’s list price of $0.05 per GB, it would cost us roughly $200, 000 a month to operate these systems

Case: freedesktop’s gitlab servers (Jan. 2025)

A very insightful post from FDO’s system admin.
