Mbin performs quite well. I just applied the most recent update which removed mercure and it’s very fast now.

I was probably the most prominent person who runs both and had database issues with k/mbin. I am happy to say that those are well behind me, largely because of the skill and patience of the Mbin team helping me resolve them.

I don’t have an intention to block threads here

I will see if this is a know issue with lemmy

I am still here. Just don’t post much. I unblocked feddit.nl. It was quite problematic in the past but willing to try again.

welcome back!

You can see the details on user counts here: https://fedidb.org/network/instance/infosec.pub.

There are about 450 active accounts.

It’s hard to pin down the memory and CPU usage, as it’s running on a very large pair of AMD servers that host many sites. I posted the details of those servers are in the thread below. Prior to moving to this server, I was running the instance on a single 16 core AMD system with 64GB of ram.

Disk wise, it uses about 500GB. Overall, it is pretty efficient, particularly compared to kbin/mbin, however I think those are tough to compare against, since they have streaming updates and a heavier user interface.

My server bill is about $3000 per month, but that includes Infosec.exchange, which is a very large instance with about 17000 active users.

I don’t play around any more :)

ok - infosec.pub is now running on my main infrastructure - a 48 core/96 thread AMD epyc zen4 genoa with 256GB of DDR5 ECC ram and 2x4TB nvme SSDs, backed by a dedicated database server with the exact same specs, on a 10gbps network.

Hello - I will take a look. There isn’t an obvious problem

Done

What site is the “loud extremists”?

I block instances that are the source of issues - shitjustworks caused a river of complaints - I don’t think I’ve seen any from the others.

I block them as they come up as problematic. There isn’t a handy list of instances to block like in mastodon. I will block those others.

I appreciate the offer and will likely make a call for more help soon.

It’s 100x worse than Mastodon but 100x better than kbin (so far)

This is great! I should do one of these

it looks like something has been wrong with federation since I applied the patch to fix the vulnerability. I am investigating…

I am working on it…

ok - we are back in business with the fix applied. I am guessing that there will be many more issues like this. Hold on to your butts…

I’ve turned off federation and the ability to create new communities until a fix is released.
