my #gotosocial install has a 13GB #SQLite database now. I don't mind but I annoyingly need to attach a bigger block device to my Droplet at #DigitalOcean. Time to migrate to a #RaspberryPi. Just need to order a M.2 or NVMe disk / HAT for it to use... although I do have an old Time Machine SSD that could work over USB-C? But... probably will draw too much power? 🤔
50GB attached storage in a Droplet is like $5/month 😤

I have either older SATA usb small SSD or Oricio UFS disks (from alixpress) that give decent results on a Pi.
Though for anything I care about really now I have gone proxmox. I started with intel miniPCs that in the end are cheaper than a Pi when you consider the VMs you can run on all (I still have hosted stuff for either pro stuff or one non-metered frontend VM that I use to expose all my home hostead stuff (behind CGNAT)
@santi I’m a bit irritated that getting a little HAT means I need a new case and heatsink. Not even sure if I’ll also get power issues. #RaspberryPi
Also my home internet is a sad 25Mbit upload. Probably doing this isn’t realistic. Will probably need to pay for hosting until a move to a better apartment with fiber (no eta unfortunately).
@bryan Yeah 25 Mbits is a bit rough these days, especially if shared with other people.I have 700/400 fiber here in the middle of the forest but all locked down by CGNAT so it's semi-luxury.
