Is it worth it making a ZFS partition with compression for Postgres in order to save space? I assume since it's mostly text it should compress fairly well.
Or is there a better FS for compression?

@matrix block size plays a huge role in this as well.
It really depends on your use case.
How big is your database?

100GB Mastodon and 40GB Misskey

@matrix

dayum, disk space is super expensive with my discount VPS, what are you using for hosting?

@sjw

@ademan @sjw BuyVM
It is expensive. I'm paying $45 for it.

@matrix @ademan @sjw yes, but it's nice knowing that if someone is gonna be pulling the rug from underneath my instance, it won't be buyvm. Also I think it's the best deal if you're planning to remain a small instance, and any future needs will be for more storage.

Can you elaborate? Are they free speech absolutists or something?

TBH their pricing looks pretty similar to my host, though mine’s more generous with CPU.

@sjw @matrix

@ademan @sjw @lewdthewides Yeah, BuyVM is pretty hands off. Daily Stormer even used them as a proxy.

who tf is francisco? missing some lore here

is colocrossing pozzed? I mean we’re pretty mild over here but I don’t want to run any unnecessary risks… maybe I’ll start a more resilient instance this year now that I know some things to look out for, I think .social was a mistake, and I’ll make sure to avoid colocrossing…

@ademan @matrix @lewdthewides Fran runs Frantech which runs BuyVM
