bit under 500GiB
it got to the first 1B backlinks on a 4GB pi4 with sata ssd over usb, but i don’t think it would do well at current scale on the pi4 anymore. rocks got memory hungrier for one.

I fell into the deepest rabbithole on this stuff in 2023 and came out with 40k words on what exactly Meta did to enable and promote that genocide, and if you haven't read very far into the whole story, I can pretty much guarantee it is worse than you think it was.

btw constellation doesn't just index at-uris (+ raw dids), but *every* kind of URI that can be parsed, like:
all references to a web page like `https://example.com`: constellation.microcosm.blue/links/all?ta...

yep even network gets wild, it’s about 24h just to transfer 1PiB if you can saturate a 100gigabit (100!) pipe

this is much faster than 1Gbit/sec of data input, so saturating the network interface for backfill feels plausible :)

i think there could be a version that’s very explicitly framed on smoke signal as “here’s the conversation happening about this event on bluesky”
if that’s not the vibe for the smoke signal view i’d say separate lexicon. i wouldn’t expect my website comments to show in peoples’ feeds.
