Not how the union works. But thanks for trying.
I've found the biggest thing isn't any real resource. My instance runs on a core 2 duo with 4GB of RAM, and I really try to get it to waste memory and barely fill the 4GB.
The thing is your instance will be blasted by all the other instances you subscribe to. If you subscribe to too many big communities you might find you're locked out during peak times, but it should be just fine as long as you're not crazy with follows like I am lol
Found the guy who never worked a union job.
I'm no big city doctor, but it seems like the people who were strong enough to decide to pack up and leave won.
I don't think its too bad, but it probably depends a lot on a lot of factors.
Since I first started my hardware got a lot stronger, and nextcloud, php, and mariadb have all improved and so my experience has gotten pretty decent.
Remember though, there's a ton of biases here, so I could be wrong...
"we only jerk each other off on union hours!"
My experiences with Nextcloud have been on another level in general. Really positive. I use it for a lot of things including notes, and its been really solid.
Nextcloud Notes has become my go-to (Oh look, SJ is advocating for Nextcloud again! How original!)
