Recently, there was a new update to Peerbit that fixes various issues and also significantly reduces memory usage. I got it working with gladden: https://gitgud.io/threshold862543/gladden/-/merge_requests/3#7030d0b2f71b999ff89a343de08c414af32fc93a feel free to experiment with it if you want, I haven't merged it into the main branch for the following reason: there's one issue that the way of storing/handling data on disk changed to the point of breaking backwards compatibility with the current version; posts and files posted in the new version aren't visible in the current version, and vice versa. I could make a migration script for users to export post data in the current version and then re-import it into the new version, however, if users don't upgrade to the newer version, the discrepancy will remain. So this solution would not be ideal. However I also want to reduce the memory usage sooner rather than later. The Peerbit dev is also investigating ways to avoid breaking database breaking for this upgrade and for potential future upgrades, but the timeline for that is still undetermined, but waiting it out is another option. I'd like to get the feedback and opinions of the current users running their own nodes and ask what you think would be best or would like to happen.
