for the ones curious about what 8% of disk usage means here: it is a bit less than 40GB for the whole system, but the users mailboxes only take 17GB
that means: 17GB divided by 10k users equals 0.0017GB (~1.7MB) average used per user! 🤯

arcanechat.me server reached 10k users!also a huge burden admins don't have with chatmail is that they don't have to deal with user account creation and deletion, or user (encrypted) data deletion, everything is automated

the server is still using just ~1.50GB of RAM and almost 0% of CPU, disk is at 8% used only (including whole operative system files etc)
it is extremely cheap to host thousands of users for #ArcaneChat / #DeltaChat with a #chatmail relay
I also just check the server like once per month just in case to check everything is fine, but it literally causes near ZERO maintenance cost, no problems, it just works you can practically forget the server exists

Friendly reminder that Signal—while maybe not perfect—is a much better choice for communication than RCS, especially if you are communicating anything sensitive.@cassidy instead of Signal, #DeltaChat is a much better alternative, super easy to use while decentralized, without requiring phone numbers or any private data at all, with good multi-device and multi-profile support (you can have as many profiles as you want without needing extra SIM cards, this makes it good for the kids of the family as well!)
