    At least, for me, Nix was never attractive, and it should be by all means, the features it provides. I still see this as an alternative, where I’m more than satisfied with my bash scripts and git repos, syncthing backups to rebuild the whole system.

    And, on the second part, this schism that happened in Nix is the same recipie that happened in other projects. I just find it funny.






  • I have my lemmy instance currently using about 2 GB space, I’m going to set up Mastadon this weekend I hope. There are cheap smaller dedicated servers from kimsufi for like $10 with 1/2 TB HDD.

    Also Hetzner cloud has compute and disk separated, so you can scale one or the other.

    I’ve got a 500GBSSD box from Hetzner, but I’m also hosting other things there and dropped VMs from Linode I had previously and consolidated there.

    You could use object storage, like s3 or wasabi, for lemmy picture/media storage, if that’s eating up most space. “cloud” providers are bit bananas when you need more disk, at one point its cheaper to go down a dedicated route. Depends on your budget…

    Edit: Others might chime in with a better answer, at the moment bot sure what your budget is, so its bit of assumptions from my side.
