Seems really excessive. The lemmy.zip admin does regular server performance posts and they're only sitting at ~140gb despite being much larger and image heavy. See HERE

No offense, but it's not very active here. I don't think anyone is going to take it personally if you have to pull the plug. The two largest communities can be recreated on a larger server(if they don't exist already). That's up to you chief, no judgement here.
I think some of the recent low poly posts went missing
XD
Also, I was under the impression that upvotes and downvotes were public per this and that instance owners could disable down votes.
I'm a software dev
Maintaining a good sleep schedule is fucking hard. No time lately for side projects due to crunch at work. Been wanting to try something in 1-bit pixel style once work calms down.
Woah, look awesome!
I love the style used in CGs from old school PC-98 VNs. I've been wanting to get into them ever since reading 16-bit Sensation. I think the fictional company in the manga(Alcohol soft) is even supposed to be a a reference to Demon City's devs (Cocktail soft).
Thanks! Funny you should mention that. I'm slowly making my way through Pixel Logic and this was a small project to reinforce the color chapter.
Final palette
Sorry! I really didn't mean for that to come off as rude as it sounded. I just meant, worst case scenario, if the server ends being a massive pain to manage/fund then you shouldn't feel obligated to keep it up. I wonder if the lemmy community has something similar to the mastodon admin discord group where you could maybe compare notes with other admins about storage/config issues.
