pretty cool: deer.social configured to point to a self-hosted bsky appview which reads from a self-hosted relay which subscribes to a self-hosted PDS which is where this "hello world" post originated it's bluesky independent from bluesky

Your AppView & relay?

the reference impls (relay.hayescmd.net, api.monarch.hayescmd.net) but under my control yeah

How much disk space does your AppView use right now (full network and full archive, right)?

nah, not full network/archive right now it's just my PDS while exploring next up is figuring out how to backfill

Ahh, ok - question for @futur.blue then :)

circa 7TB as of ~a month ago

about half of this is storing the raw records to return alongside requests

This makes me wonder how much more efficient would a Relay (or PDS) be if it's configured to accept only correctly structured records, rather than treating it as a raw document. Having a lot more guarantees about the data format feels like it could lead to far more efficient data storage.
