@meso The joke used to be that it was like buying a car with the hood welded shut. It is now basically that. Even if you crack it open, everything is soldered and epoxied in place. No user serviceable parts inside.

> I know he was annoyed about that gore stuff ban
There wasn't a ban (just attachments removed https://git.freespeechextremist.com/gitweb/?p=fse;a=blob;f=lib/site/mrf/yshl.ex;h=50a0028f6454693cc4e67447750cb0f978e225c1;hb=HEAD ), and it wasn't due to gore, it was gorespamming. He was hopping alts when he got blocked by someone on DRC to gorespam them from FSE. Every time he'd promise to stop, and say he forgot that he was on FSE instead of DRC, which was a lie (and one that relied on me not reading his public posts on the server I operate): he deliberately hopped alts to gorespam he would complain about getting blocked and tell whoever he was gorespamming that he had alts all over.
So he complained about the error message being condescending and REEEE'd at me a while. By that point, he mostly hung out at DRC and just used FSE to gorespam people when he got blocked there, so he didn't need FSE if I stopped buying the excuses.
> I wanted him share his stuff and picks of him salvaging from part he got.
I've seen pictures he takes of stripping things down, yes. Sometimes interesting.

Apple is going to become just a solid box with no interchangeable parts - at least that's what the new M4 processor sounds like it's working towards

@Soy_Magnus I believe dismantled a few apple devices.
Though Elon's starlink is worse than that.
It's mostly a glass box.

@p @meso The battery itself is soldered to the motherboard.
I've torn a few down before to salvage parts but even that is dubious. The ssd for example has a format that makes it near impossible to use anywhere else. Can't salvage the ram any more because it's integrated into the board as well.

>Right now the biggest cost is just more storage space for the db
That sounds about right.
Same issue as mine.

Ephemeral posts are going to save cheap nodes. I also saw a very clever usage of slab storage and caching that would also help, I think that was from phnt@fluffytail.

thats just what my vps cost me.
In all. Right now the biggest cost is just more storage space for the db

But what's that based off?
Bandwidth utilization?
Active connections to the datacenter's network?

@NonPlayableClown @Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @ins0mniak @meso
It would be interesting to see where sweetspots occur. I really have no clue about the higher-end of things, I still host my shit on $5 VPS, but I also actively discourage users with random unannounced downtime and verbal abuse.

from what I can tell, one or two daily users will cost about $4/month per user if you use VPS
my first year i had 30K posts and the VPS cost was like $4/month.

Only thing I could thing of is the clown was using AWS but even that charges you by usage. having 20 users should run for pennies lol

how do you spend several thousand on server costs?
Also, which instance was it that was trying to sell people instances for like 10K+/month????

@p @Tony @Soy_Magnus @0 @meso @NonPlayableClown She's the Washington Post tech reporter too.
I actually saw a guy fire up a masodon instance during that whole thing and within a few days was trying to raise several thousand dollars for "server costs" lol

There's enough to hate that I can understand; but if there's a specific complaint about Starlink I'm interested. I think LEO shit is so great, even if his company doesn't do well, it's going to solve undersea cable monopoly of networking.
