Thanks for providing this service and also this information. At this point, we can only say - thank you very much for your time, efforts and money you put into this service @stefano. At this point I also want to bring up the great work of @grunfink for his incredible work in the #snac / #snac2 project. Snac became the perfect solution for single user instances but also project related instances in the fediverse. Kudos, to both of you and thank you both very much! You both are doing a great job!
Some technical details for those interested:
The entire FediMeteo setup runs on a FreeBSD VM costing around 4 euros per month. It supports almost all major EU countries (plus the UK), with just a few left to complete. Currently, there are 25 separate jails, each running its own instance of snac, totaling 25 instances. The VM load typically stays around 10%, which increases to 30% when updates are published for countries with larger numbers of cities (currently Germany and Italy). The only time the load spikes is when new countries are announced; during that time, all remote instances connect to all cities to download their details.
As for RAM usage, excluding the ZFS cache, it's currently a total of 213 MB. Yes, MB.
Ooh, I do like that #snac gives me a "delete" button for everyone *else's* toots! It hardly seems fair, but given I have impeccable taste it's probably correct to make me The Global Decider. Nice job 👍
Fixed regression in link verification code (contributed by nowster).
Added ipv6 support for the https frontend connection (contributed by hb9hnt).
New "Like by URL" operation (contributed by dheadshot).
Added support for a Mastodon-like /share link sharing URL, like the one provided by sites like https://mastodonshare.com/ and such. To be able to use it, you must reconfigure your https proxy to redirect /share to snac (see snac(8)).
New linux landlock (sandboxing) support for enhanced security (contributed by shtrophic). It's still a bit experimental, so you have to enable it explicitly by recompiling with the WITH_LINUX_SANDBOX directive (e.g. make CFLAGS=-DWITH_LINUX_SANDBOX).
Some search fixes regarding repeated matches.
The export_csv cmdline operation now exports the CSV files inside a user's export/ subdirectory instead of the current directory.
All CSV files to be imported must now be stored inside a user's import/ subdirectory instead of the current directory.
Mastodon API: more timeline paging tunings (contributed by nowster), post language selected in apps is properly set.
The command-line operation note new reads the LANG environment variable to set the post's language.
A new command-line operation, note_unlisted, allows posting "unlisted" or "quiet public" posts.
The maximum number of entries in users' RSS feeds and in outboxes can now be set via the max_public_entries variable in the server.json file.
Fixed broken support for Audio objects.
Made xmpp and mailto URLs clickable.

This release has been inspired by the painting Judith Slaying Holofernes by #ArtemisiaGentileschi.
So..TLS aside, what is the most lightweight reverse proxy I can use instead of nginx in front of this thing? You know, in case I would like to move the instance from this beefy PPro to, say, a #486 or a #Nintendo Wii running #NetBSD? :)
