I think that's just a personal decision.
Ah yeah good call, thanks.
I'm not worried about it yet, we're covering our costs as it is today with existing donations. I don't want us to be like Wikipedia begging for money all the time.
Good question. Just going off the numbers on the main page side bar and doing some quick math, maybe about $1.10 per user per year.
Compute no, but memory yes. Lemmy is actually pretty lean and efficient, but 32gb is a bit tight for a few instances of it as well as postgres. We run multiple instances to reduce the impact when one stutters (not uncommon).
Upgrading to 64gb probably would have let us scale for the next year on the existing box, but I had this totally overkill hardware so might as well use it!
When purchased brand new by a now dying tech company, it was about 20-25k. I put dibs on it as part of my commission for managing the shut down & sale of their datacenters, this was just one of many such servers they owned.
Ah thanks for the offer but there's PII concerns there.
Yes, can do active / active effectively. That's basically stage 3 but it's all on one box to keep costs down. We get software failure redundancy but not hardware.
Metadata is in the db, files are in object storage. This is pictrs's design and the correct way to build it.
We're at 1tb of images today, no way I'd want to deal with scaling postgres to multiple TB. Object storage is cheap, scalable, easy to distribute and manage across multiple providers, etc.

You just need to do it proper, like the Boston tea party.
I read something recently about progress on that. Google is only finding this older article for me right now though : https://www.tomshardware.com/news/new-gpu-power-connector-eliminates-cables-delivers-more-than-600w
That's awesome. I really want a laser cutter.
Thanks for posting this. Filled it out, and really had to think about how I felt for some of the answers.
If you're looking in the tech industry, I've been finding https://app.welcometothejungle.com/ useful for bubbling the better stuff up to the top. I still trawl through LN though.
I'm in this photo and I don't like it.
They're not restoring scrubbed content, it's just subs that were closed at the time of scrubbing are now open.
Is that Rodney Mckay?
I've never understood why people do this. Who wants to touch a leash that's been dragging on the dirty sidewalk? Not to mention the tripping hazard.
Open your developer console and look at the error log.
