I’m gonna jack it up to the highest performance and see if it eats into my first month’s free credit.

Thanks, I’ll check that out if my from-scratch attempt fails. I’m using nginx as a reverse proxy.

I’ve just started a new instance on Oracle Cloud given how good the free tier is.

I’m maxed out on everything free: 4 CPU cores, 24 GB RAM, 200 GB storage.

Do you have any idea what the implications are of changing the block volume performance up from the default balanced to higher performance or UHP? All I can find on pricing is here: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/storage/pricing/

But it doesn’t mention anything about free tier eligibility.

I don’t think they’re going to get much by way of a response.

Maybe this will lead to the government blocking Twitter, probably through something incredibly easy to bypass like DNS.

I might try building from scratch again and running pict-rs in a docker container.

That does sound incredibly good for free.

Did you have any issues with pict-rs? Is it indeed included within the lemmy-server binary?

thanks, it looks good. The biggest plus it that it doesn’t rely on a Debian based system.

Is this easier than the Ansible deployment? That was very straight forward if you’re running a system with apt.

I’ll stick with Mastodon. Is it a slight improvement over Musk, though? I guess.
