(this toot is about #SunbeamCity's recent outage πŸ™ƒ)
#sunbeamcity took a little nap but we're back now
The #sunbeamcity crew is currently trying to get the instance back up after a hard drive failed, looks like everything is backed up but its gonna take a while!

Ok, so me and @squeakypancakes dug deep in the sysadmin mines to investigate the disk space issue on our server.

So it turns out the folder /var/services/mastodon/public/system/cache/preview_cards/images is HUGE. 600 GB and all tiny files so it took ncdu SO long to scan.

Does anyone know if we just delete all that cache? We ran tootctl cache clear and it did nothing.

Masto is a strange piece of software isn't it

Hello Sunbeam City!

I have a technical question, I have been unable to find quite a few profiles from different accounts:

@eupolicy.social
or @infosec.exchange
as well as others in the past.

What might be the reason? It's becoming problematic :')
