Specify disk usage #169

The file administation page currently says this:

Lemmy uses roughly 150 MB of RAM in the default Docker installation. CPU usage is negligible.

What about disk usage? I don't know much but I would guess that every post (including images?) would take up disk space in the database?

With images especially, the disk usage is unbounded, so it wouldn't be possible to estimate it. But the actual text DB is neglible, to the point that it probably doesn't need to be mentioned. After a few years and hundreds of thousands of comments, lemmy.ml 's compressed postgres DB backup is ~500MB.

Because its unbounded tho, I don't think its a good idea to mention it.
