nah, NSA agents like to browse /pol/ on their spare time. They literally do it for free, too.

71 diesel engines and a carrot

Bandwidth? Roughly 3 Petabytes per month.

Around 2/3 of that is from the Cloudflare cache.

The cost is estimated to be $13,000 per month.

literally horseshit
it costs less than 100$/month

let's not forget that moot used to run this place at a loss from his basement on a mac mini with only shitty j-list ads that pay next to nothing and not passes

Fucking wrong, 2PETAJEWS per month? Yeah right. 13K? Pfft.

>>61666870

Even the harddrive/storage would get bricked if so much data was constantly being written and pruned on one macmini.

$13k = 1 PB / mo.
$1 = 77 GB / mo
4chan pass = $20/yr

=> you need to consume 1.54 TB / yr to break even on your pass

if it's so cheap then why doesn't everyone have their own 4chan

>>61668181
He was running it for a while off a cluster of mac minis on a shelf mount, along with some second hand rack mount servers in a colo datacenter. I don't think he ever ran it from his house. Not sure what it is running off of now.

>>61668469
Creating a chan is not the problem. Getting people to use it is.
