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.

    I continue to be astonished at how much data people are getting through.

    Am I technogrouch for continuing to watch video at no more than 1080p?

      even basic fullhd can pull several gigs per hour, per stream.

      my adopted dad used to hit their old 8gb per month jetpak quota in one weekend just refreshing a local auction site (they don’t stream or so much other than email and banking at home otherwise)

      I rarely watch any video. Video tutorials just aren’t as informative to me, than if you read the exact same material. If it’s a tutorial on something mechanical, where part x has to line up with part z, or the wheels fall off, sure.

      I only just recently UPGRADED to 1080. I spent the better part of the last decade only dealing in 720p.

      My TV has been 1080 forever, I plan on upgrading to 4k for HDR, miniLED. I might try some 4k stuff 🤷‍♂️

      I watch stuff at 1080p but 1.5x-2x. A 1h video at that with 6kbps and 60fps can be quite consuming especially if a lot is happening. Have that on in the background for 8h plus doing other stuff (gotta pull docker images, or the blackhole that is npm) and you get over 10GB daily easily. Add a modern game or two a month and you’re above 1TiB/month.

    My ISP doesn’t cap, so I never really noticed/checked. If I had to swag, I’d say 300 gb to 500 gb just depending on what’s going on. A large majority of that is streaming music from Navidrome on a daily basis. Just one user. No mass downloading of Linux ISOs.

    Just the servers this month 31,7TiB and 3,4TiB. Yearly 563,6TiB and 54,2TiB. This does not count computers or other devices.

    For a fair comparisson, take the smaller server, that one is acting as a more normal service, hosting Nextcloud and Immich among other daily life things.

    Not sure. Depends on how many of my family are using our home services that month and how often and from where.

    I know I will regularly hit my mobile providers soft cap of 80GB at some point in the middle of the month on just my cell phone.

    I figure the household hard line probably sees 3 or 4 TB per month at a minimum.

    Wanted to flex my huge upload numbers, but turns out i’m down to 20 Tb a month! Guess next few nights will be spent trying to figure out what happened.
