A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

How many communities you subscribed and after two weeks how much data does it represents on your storage ?

Not OP but I can answer with my own stats:

In just a week, With BTRFS compression (compress-force=zstd:3) & deduplication (via bees), media is at about 1GB (and I am subscribed to media-heavy communities like 196) and the postgres DB is at about 550MB (which is also currently shared with Matrix Dendrite)

At "idle" (as you can be while being connected to ActivityPub & Matrix), the immediate CPU and RAM usage breakdown per container is:

NAME        CPU %       MEM USAGE / LIMIT  MEM %       NET IO             BLOCK IO           PIDS        CPU TIME         AVG CPU %

Net IO you shouldn't really care about as that includes inter-container networking. I'm trying to find how much outgoing data have been transferred but because the month just ended I have no idea how accurate the numbers are.

On my instance we've got about 100 communities subscribed to. Started it first week of June, since then the instance is up to a little over 4 GB of disk space. YMMV depending on instance size.
