Mod handled that super poorly and doubled down on being wrong… Honestly it’s a master class on what not to do.

Yeah maybe. I just read it as it’s personal stuff based on this line.

I manage a very large OpenStack cluster for my day job and we just give people what they pay for.

Just for yourself? Why not rent or colo a dedicated server or two or three and install a hypervisor? What all do you even run for yourself that needs 25 servers?

That’s crazy is there a breakdown of the bandwidth? Like is it federation, images or ddos using so much bandwidth?

I know you are looking/found a solution but if the main culprit is images would it be possible to offload it to a few servers? I feel like running multiple image server instances would be cheaper for bandwidth. Oracle cloud offers 10tb outbound a month for free per region/month on the free teir. Or is an unmetered host viable? From my understanding Lemmy is pretty light in terms of CPU/memory or does that fall apart at scale?

If you don’t mind and it’s not too much trouble would you be willing to share stuff like load average/disk use?

Edit I looked this over again. Not an endorsement for giving oracle or Larry Ellison money, they are awful. I was just was trying to say the free stuff is generous. You can use 40tb outbound without paying on the free resources. As always aggressive support for you Ada! Thanks for the transparency in your community!

How much bandwidth does the instance use a day?

Would you mind posting chat logs like the lemmynsfw team for transparency sake? Not trying to cause more drama but I think the whole thing just needs to be more transparent. Sorry if this is an out of line request.

In some jurisdictions that is still considered csam. Even if it’s animated or whatever excuse…
