It goes without saying that self hosting uses a lot of bandwidth. But I’m curious… how much do y’all use? Post your stats!
This is for the Lemmy.World server (just the physical box, not the related VMs). Around 12TB last month.

Att’s usage meter sucks.

lmaoo this is comical
I’ve got about 25tb of Anna’s seeded, plus ArchiveTeam warrior running. I don’t look at my usage lol
That looks like me, back when i still had space on my server :(
Anyone wants to donate a couple of 8+ tb drives?
no details at the moment, but I upload nearly 1Tb / day of media. so 25TB per month UPLOAD, you can imagine my downloads.
What are people using to monitor this?
I use the reporting tools on my opnsense box.
igb0 / yearly year rx | tx | total | avg. rate ------------------------+-------------+-------------+--------------- 2023 33.97 TiB | 22.90 TiB | 56.87 TiB | 15.86 Mbit/s 2024 110.69 TiB | 32.26 TiB | 142.95 TiB | 39.76 Mbit/s 2025 22.20 GiB | 7.14 GiB | 29.34 GiB | 4.35 Mbit/s ------------------------+-------------+-------------+---------------Enough for xfinity to charge their bullshit fee for going over 1.2TB in December. Not enough to justify paying for unlimited data every month.
I switched partly because of this. Now I pay less and have symmetrical speeds!
