Is the media storage going to grow by a gig every day? I'm not even "federated" and my instance is not sending a lot of media out. #MastoAdmin

@downey Thanks! I had it on a 50gig LAMP and it crapped out on day 7. Hoping it was a "swap" thing and the 100gig holds. I might do the secondary storage when I upgrade, but I like simple. :)

@jw Note that there are some new settings in https://mastodon.example.com/admin/settings/content_retention that might help keep the size down (possibly at the expense of more frequent network traffic for more frequent caching).

@downey I have faith in this community. Old enough to know when to wait a little bit, tho. :)
