- KomoD 4y agoYes, considering his instance has a single user, himself. If more people sign up to his instance, or he just uses it, the costs will keep going up due to the caching Mastodon does for assets (and especially due to the fact he also doesn't have purging enabled)
- hbogert 4y agoImagine every little project costs you 30 dollars. ( He's getting compute for free for now, I included that) That will add up. The cloudwatch costs are just ridiculous. Even with the high energy costs in Europe I'll just be migrating to a more efficient machines and I will lower my power budget from 100 watt to 50. For now, with the current 100 watt I can run 4 nodes each with a hard drive and ssd, 16 gb of mem. These are hp 6300s, old but low power and if needed they can stil pack a punch with the i5 CPUs.
