We’re storing data in peanut butter? Please tell me there’s jam involved.
/j it’s amazing we’re talking about petabytes. My first computer had like 600 meg. (Pentium 486 cobbled out of spare- old- parts from my dad’s junk”Parts” rack.)

Valmond@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoJust a couple of years ago I was sent a dataset by mail, around 1TB on a hard drive.
Later I worked on visualization of large datasets, we didn’t have the space to store them locally because they were up to a PB.

😁 ya my first “computer” was a ZX-81 with 1kB of ram, type too much and it was full! A card with a whopping 16kB later came to the rescue.
It’s been a wild time in history.

Mail dataset in standard-compliant way. Like RFC1149. Don’t forget that carrier should be avian carrier.

Local as not in the building in that case :-)
RFC1149 lol yeah wasn’t that a norwegian experiment at some sub-bits per second? Thanks for making me remember!

Some african with megabits per second. Which was much faster than any local ISP.
