Raspberry Pi probably costs the same nowadays.

I was curious as to the original specs (because computer tech so quickly is outdated)

From the friends wiki:

Chandler's laptop is a Compaq Contura 4/25cx during "The One With The List". It was the top model of the Contura lineup of that time (1994). The base model had:

Processor: 486SL running at 25MHz (slowed down version of the 486)

Display: VGA color (active matrix)

RAM: 4MB (expandable to 20Mb)

Hard disk: 120MB or 200MB

In 1994 the base model costed $3,848 which, adjusted for inflation, is $6,756.82 in 2020.

Chandler's version had "12 megabytes of RAM, 500 MB hard drive, built-in spreadsheet capabilities (they all had that) and a modem that transmits at over 28,000 bps." so would have costed a lot more.

24MHz cpu today

The RAM and modem I’ll accept… but I feel like calling bullshit on a 2.5in 500mb drive in 1994. It could have existed but I am pressing X to doubt.

How do you mirror peertube? Have they found a webtorrent HLS solution or something?

PeerTube has a built-in redundancy system. Theoretically, you could mirror all the videos on PeerTube using PeerTube itself. Except those that do not allow mirroring.

Hosting a peertube instance just to help mirror files seems a little overblown. It's a pity you can't just get a video's torrent, put it onto your seedbox and contribute to the network that way.
