   It seems a bit excessive that my single user Mastodon instance has ~60G of media even though I run all the various purge commands to keep only 7 days.

     @alarig @grifferz Or use a caching proxy if you'd want to avoid that, specially as storing files on disk from complete randoms on the internet sounds like a pretty awful liability.

     @grifferz I don’t even understand why mastodon caches everything while we could just put the original URL everywhere.

     @alarig @grifferz Storage is more volatile by design (it could even be in RAM) and it's easier to enforce storage quotas where the least accessed file ends up getting overwritten/erased and a file that's too big either doesn't gets saved or redirects.
     Meanwhile Mastodon is quite stuck to periodically doing wipes like a really bad garbage collector.

     @lanodan @grifferz I don’t see how a caching proxy would make a difference
