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.

              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. 👍
