To me that’s like someone telling me they read books, they like gardening, and want to keep the white race pure. Would you like them?

“What’s wrong? They read books! They even put KOreader on their Kobo!”

My thoughts exactly. They had a choice, make software either for a broad uninterested audience, or for a small but passionate crowd. They made their choice; I am not their target audience.

I learned today PieFed should be much leaner, 1-2 GiBs only for some multi-user instances. Such a big difference blew my mind, I might have to make the switch. Feel free to try it out (and let me know how it went :D )

will do! :)

It is, surprised me as well. It’s been through a couple of reboots already, no noticeable build-up, the amount is pretty constant. This pushes the PieFed switch near the top of the list, it seems PieFeds load is drastically less.

Lemmy’s consuming close to 19GiB of RAM. CPU is less critical, that only occasionally spikes above 10% on 2 cores. Disk size of 60GiB is enough with a regular cleanup.

EDIT: turns out It was actually using ~9.5 GiB, the rest was linux buff/cache which Proxmox reports as used. Moving pict-rs off SLED to postgres and tuning postgres a bit, I was able to bring it down to ~2.6 GiB.

Sadly I’m hitting RAM limits at the moment, so won’t be opened up to other users until memory prices come down :)

I’m meaning to actually, I like the PieFed devs more. I just don’t want to rush the transition as I’m still thinking up the transition strategy. It’s just a single-user instance, so would not cause too much impact. But do know it’s on my TODO list :D

Most recent ones: moved away from CloudFlare for my tunnels to self-hosted Pangolin. Moved away from a US domain registrar to INWX.

Where truth isn’t censored

Self-hosting seems your only option then. You might be cut off from other instances if they decide to defederate, but at least on your instance you’ll be able to enjoy free speech (and block unwanted speech).

politically neutral <> pirate party

Pick one

I don’t see many self-hosters celebrating the wonders of capitalism.

It truly is! I’m seeing some politicians move away from X, gamers away from Windows, now the TikTok exodus. A ray of hope in these troubled times.
