I know that the RAM cache is just taking advantage of otherwise free RAM and will be dropped in favor of anything else, but it does stress me out a bit to see it "full" like that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would stress me even more to see a lot of RAM doing nothing, that would be a shame! ;-)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Difference between Windows and Linux. Windows would only use what it needs. Linux pre-empts more and fills the RAM for what coul dbe needed.

It used to stress the shit out of me when I switched to Linux as I'd gotten used to opening task manager and seeing 90% free RAM. On Linux I'd be seeing 10% free and panicking thinking it was a resource hog.

The Linux-way is the best way.

I use Arch btw ;)

Both OSes do pre-caching and for both the standard tools to check usage nowadays ignore pre-cached elements when counting RAM usage.

pretty gauges. the instance seems to be more stable/responsive today

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I am not seeing them. Are they gone?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So Iβ€˜m currently on planning to host an instance myself. This graph helped me quite a lot to get an idea what system resources are required.

Do you use any reverse proxy in front of it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nginx runs on the server , proxying to the lemmy docker containers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thatβ€˜s what I had in mind. To run nginx on a seperate vps, so I can scale it easier. Run fediverse instances in the back, either all on one vps or on different vps. This way I could provide a hub while increase performance (due to compression and caching) and provide redundancy/load balancing if necessary.

Whatβ€˜s the typical traffic you experience? Peak (Gbit/s) and average/daily traffic (GB)

I notice your defederation list is completely depopulated today. Is that intentional?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On 0.18.1-rc.10 the defederated instances are at the very bottom, not on the right hand side.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OOoooooh! Thanks for the info.

Also infinitely less clear and helpful...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It may be a bug, I'm not sure.

Damn that’s a huge chunk of (what looks like) a 64 core CPU there. Impressive!

It’s cool it can aggressively cache that much. Although I am perplexed why one would have a swap file configured in this case? What does it give you here? Sorry not trying to be an elitist or anything just have no idea what advantage you get!

Seriously! Talk about amazing optimization and debugging of the network service.
