[16:02] lazypower-travel: It is a WD green. There are mixed reviews. [16:54] How long to read 2.5 TB text as a speed reader ? Say you could read avg of 5K words per min. [16:58] at 10 bytes per word & space, punctuation, etc. That'd be 50 K bytes / min. It would only be 50 mega minutes to read it all. Read only 16.667 hours a day, comes to 1,000 minutes a day. So,,,, only 50,000 days to read the whole thing. [18:31] Average word size is 5 characters so that 10 bytes assumes UTF-16. More likely UTF-8 which will be closer to 5 bytes per word. Compress it and you will have 10x as much space. [18:32] No worries though. I don't have that much text. Maybe I can collect 2.5tb of lolcats. [19:41] so i've been using mosh for my SSH connections rather than just ssh command. really liking it a lot. [19:41] highly recommend checking it out. [19:43] although its really useful for me just because walking upstairs from our storage/office room to the server room i lose wifi so my ssh sessions get cut off. [19:44] so if you're not breaking connection often its not amazing i guess, but still very nice and easy to use.
