One of the benefit of running your server on a potato is you become super conscious of the storage use.
Apparently the space used by pict-rs grew by 1.8GB since last week, which I thought was impossible since it’s a private instance and I don’t even post anything from there.
I took a look into volumes/pictrs/files/ and I found all kinds of random images. Even the image from this post https://burggit.moe/post/37091
somehow ended up on my own instance.
I thought the medias are not supposed to be federated or am I missing something here?
Not to quite sure/100% looked into this. But I remember reading somewhere that the stuff you post on lemmy instances are basically copied over to other instances. Then lets say I decided today to delete my stuff from here, it will still live on another instance somewhere.
Don’t quote me tho please 🙏
