A temporary fix for overloaded lemmy.ml servers, via THAIO (Throw-Hardware-At-It Optimisation)…
Sadly there’s only one server since Lemmy doesn’t support horizontal scaling (hopefully for now only)
What specs do I need to run a lemmy instance for, say a small group of 1000 people? Cpu, Ram, Amount of Electricity needed, Minimum Internet Speed, Storage? Assuming that I would be federating with the top lemmy instances.
This may help: https://sh.itjust.works/post/4706 This real answer is that it depends on how many online users there are at the same time and how much data is saved.
This looks like my old laptop - Lenovo Y510P. Even down to the slight abrasion below the mousepad from the user wearing a watch with a metal band.
It had SLI GPUs in a laptop through the ultra bay. It was a beast for about 20 minutes until the heat built up.
I have an old Raspberry Pi 1 lying around. Should I spin up my own instance?
