Kinda funny when I hear people talk about their amount of remote stored media, often they think a few hundred gigabytes is a lot

HA! Try hosting some social media services It's more getting close to a 100 terabyte at this point

@stux Now imagine Googles harddrives or the ones of some businesses

@stux and then there's the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launching later this year, which will generate 11 Tb/day.
Compare this to Hubble which gathers 21.5 Gbit/day. It's. 4,000x increase!
Data volumes are weird

@Mixtape Oof yeah.. iCloud..

@Artemis201 Whaha woahh!

But that's worth it, compared to the costs of the telescope itself it's pennies

@stux sorry when I asked about the server comparison, I wasn't trying to make it a competition. I was actually curious.
I imagine some of the larger server data generation could be measured in fractions of a Hubble.
