Hello everyone. I will be taking infosec.pub offline for a while today to move the instance to a new, larger server.

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.
