How much is "a good amount"
I'm unsure why he mentioned a good amount, as I am across several large spaces on the matrix using Synapse and have accumulated approximately 30GB of data in >1 year. I must clarify that I am the sole user of my instance.
That's quite big for a raspberry pi. Going to upgrade an old 2018 gaming computer into a server now. All it needed was a hard drive and a wifi antenna (My dad won't let me run an ethernet cable to my room ☹️). I was running out of Google storage anyway for my photos, so I'll set that up as well.
Completely depends on your use, but it is basically ever growing and larger than the typical cheap VPS includes. A few tens of GBs at least.
