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

    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.

    @jerry@infosec.pub Would you share any of the following, I’m just curious:

    • what’s rough user count
    • what’s average instance CPU, memory, bandwidth use
    • database and file storage
    • cost
    • time commitment
    • Colo, business, residential

      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.
