a.pl:

Code: Select all

print "lol " while ++$i<4000000000000;

a.sh:

Code: Select all

perl a.pl | bzip2 -cz9 > 4TBlol.bz2


I am currently executing this, hopefully it'll end some day and I'll be able to attach the file into this thread.

And I know I made a typo above, it should be 16TBlol.bz2.

According to the approximation I made today this would've taken roughly 2 years to complete on my computer thus I aborted the operation. I should, however, have 50GB worth of "lol "s by tomorrow evening, or at most the day after tomorrow.

Edit: Ah, and yes, the new a.pl looks like this:

Code: Select all

print "lol " while ++$i<12500000000;

Well, according to speedtest.net you had 170 Kbit/s upstream. Let's just assume it would be 256 Kbit/s, then that'd be 32 KB/s. 50 GB being 50000000000 Bytes, this leads to a total uploading time of 1562500 seconds, if I didn't make any mistakes. More than 18 days.

Let's be optimistic and just assume you don't have a dynamic IP or a provider that shuts your connection down every 24h and you'd successfully upload without any power or net failures, your average speed is constantly maxed out at 32 KB/s, there is no HTTP overhead, the max execution time of PHP is set to 0, the max file size is unlimited, phpBB file size maximum is unlimited, the webserver does not need to be restarted, has enough free disk space and the PHP service does not get killed because of too much RAM consumption, your browser won't crash because of the ridiculously large size and you have the patience not to play UrT for close to 3 weeks (because obviously your upload is completely blocked and you'd experience the worst lag ever, rendering the game completely unplayable).
So, yeah... adding the remaining 24 hours you need to create the file, let's see your uploaded file in about 19 days, presuming aforementioned idealized circumstances. Good luck dude

BTW: I deleted Noobis post saying "15" for dramatic reasons - it looks much better if there is no gap between my post and natirips post

As for the drama:
It's still much faster than taking 2 years to generate the file alone.

And Noobi, your selfless, honorable, brave and great unwilling sacrifice shall never be forgotten. *sheds a tear*



As to break the drama:
I'm putting it into a .bz2, and from past experience 10GB of "lol "s was compressed to less than half a megabyte, so this (5x more) shouldn't be so much more than that.

I shall banish compressed files from this sacred place!
bzip2 is a tool created by the devil himself and authorized by the United States government!
