Mint works well on my Thinkpads

Debian

Markor on Android and Obsidian on Desktop.

All synced with syncthing

All my devices use Syncthing via Tailscale to get my data to my server.

From there, my server backs up nightly to rsync.net via BorgBackup.

I then have Zabbix monitoring my backups to make sure a daily is always uploaded.

Brother works incredibly well. Plug and play

Linux Mint is what I use and have no issues with my 3070.

Chimera OS might be something you can look into however I have not used it

Pop OS is also great for nvidia support

More ram 🐏

I’ve very curious if Lemmy could scale to sizes similar to Reddit. Would that require creating multiple instances? Is there a max active users that an instance could handle? Is there a way to load balance between servers?

I suspect this hasn’t been done since Lemmy just recently exploded in popularity.

NPM is great! I even use it in a production environment at work for a small service and it works beautifully

I have a borg server in the office that takes backups of all my servers. Each server stores their applications backup that gets pulled into the repo. On top of that, the borg server pushes the backup to rsync.net.

All of this is monitored by my Zabbix server

That is correct. It was originally hosted on a VPS and there are plans to move it to a dedicated server although that may have already happened

lemmy.world is hosted by the same guy who is hosts https://mastodon.world so for me it gave me confidence that he knows what he is doing considering they have 27K active users.

Can you send you docker-compose file?

I use borgbackup + zabbix for monitoring.

At home, I have all my files get backed up to rsync.net since the price is lower for borg repos.

At work, I have a dedicated backup server running borgbackup that pulls backups from my servers and stores it locally as well as uploading to rsync.net. The local backup means restoring is faster, unless of course that dies.
