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.

Does that help somehow? You find TiB easier to grasp mentally than TB?

    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. 👍
