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 dunno about masto, but pleroma compresses pretty well, iirc @feld runs his db with gzip compression and it halves the storage use. my 90gb postgresql backup folder also takes up only 20gb on disk, though that's with zstd-9

@rin
100GB Masto backup takes up 17GB and 40GB Misskey takes up 5GB. I'm pretty sure pg_dump doesn't include indexes though.
@feld

@matrix @feld oh, I do backups via barman, so it's more like backing up the postgresql folder with indexes and all that
