If Europe is going to break from US-based tech will it embrace FOSS or just duplicate the US for-profit, capitalism-based model of computing?

Some statistics from a smaller Germany based Mastodon instance (burningboard.net)

We currently have 109 active users (logged in during the last 30 days).

The PostgreSQL Database size is 16.6GB

The media-data (S3) size is 201 GB with 775544 files.

The monthly traffic is around 900GB, 82% of that is IPv6 and just 18% is legacy IPv4.

Hardware (VM Sizing):
- 8 Altara Neoverse-N1 ARM64 CPU cores
- 16 GB DDR4 Ram
- 100 GB NVMe SSD

Software-Stack:
- Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64
- Mastodon v4.3.7
- PostgreSQL 17.4
- Ruby 3.4.2
- Monitoring through Grafana/Loki and Uptime Kuma

The low-power ARM system can handle the Mastodon instance without issues and even has some headroom left for future growth

I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far.

So, if you like one of the hashtags below, please consider following me, and if you do, I'll follow you back! Thank you.

Hi #Fedora,

What makes you use Fedora?
How do you like it?
How's it going?
How's gaming on Fedora?
What hardware do you run it on?

I'm curious because I use Debian myself, and I'd love to hear from Fedora users about their day-to-day experiences.

Dear #podman users,

am I looking in the wrong spot or is there no systemd timer for "podman image prune"? I thought I had seen something like this in relation to the podman-auto-update service, but fail to find anything on that?

How are people solving the cleanup of images?

I messed up the last poll so here it is again...
