@sneak rb@u

how much heavy lifting is your box doing with a federated mastodond

@morb not a ton but also it's sort of janky, although that is partially the fault of my reverse proxy sending everything with the same client ip to the app. if i had to do it again i'd use pleroma, and maybe run the masto frontend talking to it (pleroma implements the mastodon client-facing api)

@morb attachments use tons of disk (though you can run some cli command to prune stuff older than a certain amount of time). i think last time i checked it was using 500GB and i pruned it and it went down to 150GB or something

@sneak that's a considerable amount of added platter wear over time; I'm surprised they don't stay resident on the origin and just get linked via img tag
