I moved Infosec.exchange off the ssd-based cache to the regular storage in an attempt to save cash. Already at $100 for the week in bunny.net charges. I’m going to give them a call to see if there’s anything they do to look for attacks designed to run up charges.

@jerry at what point is it cheaper to just buy something rackmounted full of disks?

also i wonder if there's a 'media expiry ttl' you could enact that like, cleans up deleted accounts or old media. or maybe take advantage of xfs block-level deduplication or something?

@Viss I self hosted for a long time and it is indeed far cheaper, even using a rented server. The issue is latency. If could make the price a lot more stable if I rented servers in a few places around the world and subscribed to a geo dns provider.

@jerry oh wow you're big enough to deal with cdn issues. does memcache just not produce enough low latency disk read?

@Viss I’ve not tried memcache for that, but the issue is generally latency across the internet, not (necessarily) with the server/storage. We have about 20000 daily users coming from all over the world, and my CDN usage is about 30-50TB/month

@jerry ah, got it. i wonder if maybe local storage -> fastly or akamai would do? (i have no idea about pricing, though)
