pict-rs upgraded to 0.5... which is now performing its own backend update. No idea how long it will take... currently ~7%.
Its been a little while since I posted stuff :)

Not much has changed in quite a while. I still have a cron-job running to restart Lemmy every day due to memory leaks, hopefully this improves with future updates. Outside of that, CPU, memory and network usage are fine.
Object storage usage is growing steadily, but we're a long way from paying more than the monthly minimum Wasabi fee.
Not much to call out. The storage drop was due to purging a days worth of images, and clearing the entire object storage cache. When I have time, I'll upgrade the VPS to add storage.
The way lemmy caches images isn't well documented. Some third party images are not cached, others are. I don't want to risk it.
Nuking it from orbit, only way to be sure.
The one spike here is from a DB backup being uploaded to object storage, prior to the upgrade to 0.18.4.
Still ok here. You can see the daily minimum free space increase as I tweak the local cache for object storage.
Nothing of note here. Once baseline storage hits ~70% and I decreasing the object storage retention period is no longer worthwhile, I'll upgrade the server for more storage.
Tldr of what I've posted elsewhere; I'm undecided at this stage but leaning towards defederating. When more information is available I'll make a post soliciting feedback, I don't want to make a change like this without user feedback.
On the point of being unsustainable I disagree. Instances will need to find an equilibrium between cost/expense and retention of old content. The higher the revenue/cost tolerance, the older the content that can be retained. I expect most instances will end up purging non-local content after an amount of time, but retain local content as long as possible. Maybe I'm naive, but I have confidence that people smarter than me will come up with systems to do this. It may result in a usenet style setup where instances boast about their retention periods.
On your second point re: community contributions, I agree entirely. I've been very fortunate that there have been some generous donations from aussie.zone users, so I'm not worried about server costs at this point. Server costs will go up as data volumes increase, that is unavoidable. How the community decides to handle this in the future is the real question, based on what I've experienced so far I'm confident we'll be around for a long time to come.
It's nice to read this, its the exact reason I created this instance with the name it has🙂
re: claim of devs supporting genocide.. I've seen this claim made multiple times, but never seen it backed up. Anyone have sources where they have made such statements?
The Uyghur genocide is happening, as verified by multiple reputable sources.
Nice to see the subreddits listed by subs. Reddit can't ignore this... interested to see how they respond. I'm sure it will be some half baked knee jerk reaction that will get the community even more against them.
Thanks for all the hard work! Jerboa is better in alpha than the official Reddit app ever was (or likely will be).
It was removed deliberately during the reddit exodus in order to direct new Lemmy users elsewhere. Rather than to overload lemmy.ml further.
