10:42 < tyil> is the main friendica irc channel still on Freenode?
10:44 < tyil> also, what kind of resources should I expect from a small friendica instance with 5-10 users?
10:50 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> Hello tyil. Could you please tell us? I was under the impression that most people wont over to OFTC & Libera.
10:51 < tyil> I'm not connected to freenode, and doubt I ever will
10:52 < tyil> but in the wiki on Github it still talks about Freenode (https://github.com/friendica/friendica/wiki)
10:52 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> Instance requirement depend on the amount of traffic you expect to see and depends on how many other people your users will be following and how much they post.
10:52 < tyil> alright, so for requirements I should just try it out, and scale up if I notice things to be slow
10:52 < tyil> I'll start off with a tiny vps then
10:53 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> Anyway, XMPP, Matrix, Libera are all hooked up to the same matterbridge (I think freenode was as well, not sure whether the auth still works) So whenever you write right here, everyone will see it and can reply.
10:54 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> Are you on a VPS or an SBC?
10:55 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> I would say that if you are a lightweight user, your database server should be consuming much more than Friendica itself, but both of them together might fit within 256MB with a bit of tuning if you are desperate, though I think not many would recommend getting a VPS with less than 1GB nowadays.
10:55 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> Your disk space will usually be more limiting, taking up at least 10GB on the long term if you aren't planning to enable automatic thorough cleanup.
10:56 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> After installation, it only takes 100-200MB, but it will cache various resources eventually.
10:58 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> Okay, just checked and our canonical IRC presence seems to be Libera
10:59 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> On Freenode even when it was hooked up, a banner warned new joiners to come over.
11:07 < tyil> I have some VPS machines at Hetzner and Leaseweb, I was thinking of adding a 1gb, 1 core machine for Friendica
11:22 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> HDD or SSD?
11:23 < tyil> SSD
11:32 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> How much space did you plan to allocate for it?
11:34 < tyil> 40gb
11:48 < fikabot> 💬 <bkil> That configuration sounds sane. You should also be able to run other light services on the same node as well.
23:11 < fikabot> 💬 <JB Carroll> Just getting my tablet upgraded to the latest LineageOS.  Has anyone found a good client that works in landscape modes on tablets?  Tusky seems to have a lot of wasted space on the sides in landscape.
