Huh?

All of saidit's public content is currently being mirrored to notabug as a form of federation.

Saidit will be running a notabug peer soon as well.

How big is it? I've never gotten an answer.

How big is what? notabug? I don't track traffic or log ips and the traffic is kinda mixed up with ceddit since it's hosted on snew.notabug.io

The saidit database? seems like less than 2 gigs total but don't have an exact number.

I meant the SaidIt import. I just had absolutely no idea, other than WikiSpooks is about 5gb, including media. Now I have a ballpark. Thanks for the info.

It's almost hard to picture so much power that can fit on a thumbdrive.

Our total backup is 7gb, mostly thumbnail images. 2 or 3gb for the actual data sounds about right.

I think it may be closer to 4gb, nab just ran out of space (well not really has to do with a misconfiguration of lmdb) in part due to the comment ingest.

That's why it's down at the moment while I resolve the issue heh.

Cool, neat to know.

Even with the thumbnails that's not too bad.

Are they mostly post icons? Do comments generate any thumbs?

Would it be very slow to not have thumbnails and just make on the fly as necessary? (Maybe for mirror sites?)

Are there a lot of duplicate thumbnails (ie. blanks), or a lot of s-links?

Is it possible to guestimate how large a library of local images would be? (ie. If they were copied local (faster) but linked offsite to their source.) And or for audio/video media (ie. Copied to a dedicated PeerTube, but linked offsite to their source.)

I don't recall ever seeing just audio. Wouldn't be bad to have standard "MP3" logo, "Opus" logo, etc. images within a playback window. This would make the audio/video media presentation uniform.
