Alternate Web UI for aussie.zone
(old.aussie.zone)
Not really. Good spot, I'll remove it.
It's just a UI, all the content itself is in the same backend. It's very light weight to host, so I'd only shut it down if it has issues.. eg security or interop with future Lemmy versions.
But... Offspring! Weezer!
Good. Public office should not be a shield for objectively bad actions.

Curried sausages!

Its been 6 months or so... figure its time for another of these. Keep in mind there have been some major config changes in the last week, which has resulted in the oddities below.
Graphs below cover 2 months, except Cloudflare which only goes to 30 days on free accounts.

Memory:
Network:
Storage:
Cloudflare caching:
Comments: The server is still happily chugging along. Looking even happier now that I've properly migrated pict-rs to its integrated object storage config, rather than the bodged up setup.
RAM/CPU are all fine. Storage use is growing slowly as various databases grow. Still a long way from needing to purge old posts, if ever.
Cloudflare is saving less traffic these days, since Lemmy added support to proxy all images. Not a concern, well under the bandwidth cap for the server.
As usual feel free to ask any questions.
It was removed deliberately during the reddit exodus in order to direct new Lemmy users elsewhere. Rather than to overload lemmy.ml further.

Not much has changed in quite a while. I still have a cron-job running to restart Lemmy every day due to memory leaks, hopefully this improves with future updates. Outside of that, CPU, memory and network usage are fine.
Object storage usage is growing steadily, but we're a long way from paying more than the monthly minimum Wasabi fee.
The way lemmy caches images isn't well documented. Some third party images are not cached, others are. I don't want to risk it.
Nuking it from orbit, only way to be sure.
On the point of being unsustainable I disagree. Instances will need to find an equilibrium between cost/expense and retention of old content. The higher the revenue/cost tolerance, the older the content that can be retained. I expect most instances will end up purging non-local content after an amount of time, but retain local content as long as possible. Maybe I'm naive, but I have confidence that people smarter than me will come up with systems to do this. It may result in a usenet style setup where instances boast about their retention periods.
On your second point re: community contributions, I agree entirely. I've been very fortunate that there have been some generous donations from aussie.zone users, so I'm not worried about server costs at this point. Server costs will go up as data volumes increase, that is unavoidable. How the community decides to handle this in the future is the real question, based on what I've experienced so far I'm confident we'll be around for a long time to come.
Thanks for all the hard work! Jerboa is better in alpha than the official Reddit app ever was (or likely will be).

Thing is... I'm not sure if its abandonded, or there have been no breaking changes in recent versions of lemmy so no dev work has been required. Last release was in July, and the dev himself has been active on Github recently.
