Well said, both sides are bad, but one is so much worse than the other
Sadly true
Slay the Princess comes to mind
If more people had voted for democrats it would've been a lot easier to get out of this shit by campaigning for a ranked choice voting system and taxing the rich. Instead you got fascism × 2 and expensive food.
Would you rather have Trump's fascist regime and be an activist, or have Biden's much less worse administration and be an activist? Voting doesn't decrease your ability to participate in protests and so on.
One benefit of hotlinking is that it saves on storage usage
I'd be pretty terrified too
Thanks, I hate it
The database is currently at 19.9 GiB, and it increases so slowly I haven't noticed anything :P.
I heard that Lemmy only stores text, and media is hosted only on the instance on which it’s uploaded on.
Depends on how you configure it, I have it only store media from my local users by setting image_mode: "None" in lemmy.hjson (the config file), so that doesn't increase a lot. I use Exoscale as my object storage provider.
Regarding traffic usage, I can't tell you precisely because I use Cloudflare and that caches a lot of data. In the past 18 days there have been 108GB transferred from my VPS (data from Hetzner). These are the analytics from cloudflare:
btw if you plan on buying a Hetzner VPS it would be awesome if you used my referral link: https://hetzner.cloud/?ref=xNvN4vWKXSzw to get 20€ in credits for free, and I also get 10€ if you decide to buy something from them.
it's not very CPU-intensive, as you can see in the output of docker compose stats, where 100% CPU = 1 core. As for the RAM usage, the database can get a bit more RAM-hungry than other containers. Here's the output of btop:
You're not bothering me at all btw, I'd love to answer more questions if you have any.
