MariaDB my.cnf tuning

I had 600MB VPS (no kidding, 600MB)

This is my my.cnf

-------- Recommendations -----------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
  Run OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment tables for better performance
  MySQL started within last 24 hours - recommendations may be inaccurate
  Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability
  Enable the slow query log to troubleshoot bad queries
  Adjust your join queries to always utilize indexes
  When making adjustments, make tmp_table_size/max_heap_table_size equal
  Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries without LIMIT clauses
Variables to adjust:
  *** MySQL's maximum memory usage is dangerously high ***
  *** Add RAM before increasing MySQL buffer variables ***
  join_buffer_size (> 128.0K, or always use indexes with joins)
  tmp_table_size (> 32M)
  max_heap_table_size (> 32M)

Any suggestion? This server server only xenforo.
 
Try to change this:

join_buffer_size = 2M
max_connections = 30

Disable Query cache

Then restart DB and re run mysqltunner and re-post here.
