My instance has 82GB of DB size. It is almost two years old. I think you’re overestimating.

So is he self hosting her or what?

I will. I was asking from CPU power and price perspective though.

Yes, you can shoot me from there and you’re right but I don’t see much difference between Matrix clients. The experience is pretty common between them. Synapse is de facto standard.

I don’t think XMPP is simpler than Matrix. With my insufficient knowledge; XMPP servers and clients have different standards. Some supports audio/video calls, some requires encryption while other maybe not etc.

Matrix has a standard set of features and all software around it built for those features. TBH I find Matrix pretty instable lately tho.

“Ubuntu added on top” you mean Snap? No thanks :)

You need to pass host header. But if you really want to hide your IP, you need to proxy your outgoing activities too.

I’ve used Matrix for months and agree with most points. I would like to try XMPP but it is clear that it does not have the best onboarding experience.

The problem I’ve observed with XMPP as an outsider is the lack of a standard. Each server or client has its own supported features and I’m not sure which one to choose.

Which client would you recommend?

I’ve never used XMPP. Can someone compare it with Matrix?

It wasn’t but now it does I guess. I just searched a community didn’t existed locally on my instance and I got same result as you. No votes, no comments. I think this is enough to open an issue in the Lemmy repo.

You need to search them to make them available to your instance. You can also use lemmony or lemmy community seeder to automate it if you care enough.

It just making things easier and cleaner. When you remove a container, you know there is no leftover except mounted volumes. I like it.

Nice test! I’m a Tailscale user and I liked it being faster than others. I don’t care about memory usage but curious why there is a big gap 🤔 Like its using 20x more memory than Zerotier.

Thanks! It looks complicated but probably worth it. I’ll try thanks again!

I didn’t use them for instance media storage because of egress fees. Maybe now I can switch.

• You don’t pay for storing on multiple servers. I never saw something like this on any provider I know.
• Upgrading storage is not cheaper. Instance media storage reaches 500GB in a month and S3 is always cheaper than data volumes with given options for pictrs.
• Backblaze is not cheapest. It has egress fees so it will cost much more than others. Although its cheaper than AWS.

They’re thumbnails of other instance posts. I suggest migrating pictrs to the S3 for cheaper/easier storage.

I just reject their Zoom/Meet/Teams link and sending them my self-hosted link. I love Jitsi.
