So umm... so 45 GB of stuff in the storage directory in my #gotosocial instance. Woooot!?

I thought it'd probably be 6 GB at the most!

@ajayiyer check your remote media cache days.

I gave  mine at 3 days.

None

@daj Yea, went aggressive and dropped mine to 1.

Get cheap s3 storage and let it rip. I have about 120GB right now. I’ll dial down media-remote-cache-days once I hit 200GB. (It’s $5/month for 250GB on #Digitalocean Spaces).

@bryan Working on a script that will judiciously remove content from that folder once it touches 12GB.

It's being hosted on an old smartphone and I'm too much of a cheapskate to spend money hosting.

I’m too much of a bandwidth hog to share my internet connection at home with a service… even one devoted to me! My upload is only 23Mbit…
