For the first time in a while I won&#39;t have to cover anything out of pocket, and we can postpone any decision on auto-deleting remote content!<br/><br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/117/000/450/195/220/335/original/eb589bdc675aa4e0.png"> 2026-07-29T00:33:48Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspm0dmnf9jyua0kayz86rh0a63m95jj0uylt5lkmmzzw8c2qex9lqzyrfsmvnr6008gzzjt4jt5409w20v8vuw9qanwnv8jadzjwa2dr0s5az5c32 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszstxwt0dr0y02ws8jv6fmmluzylhsduyflmgtu5r2g9l52ef90nspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qejv37n'>nevent1q…v37n</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>As a reminder, donations can go to <a href="https://ko-fi.com/dicecamp">https://ko-fi.com/dicecamp</a> 2026-07-27T18:11:10Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszstxwt0dr0y02ws8jv6fmmluzylhsduyflmgtu5r2g9l52ef90nszyrfsmvnr6008gzzjt4jt5409w20v8vuw9qanwnv8jadzjwa2dr0s57n3mua In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrn8jcm5gclwujtyvh6s55uh5jutnvdj7pf53xldak3fpttyzrfjqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qjd2y73'>nevent1q…2y73</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Unless someone can find an alternative to either funding at least an extra $50/month, or to reducing our database usage without deleting remote content, I&#39;ll have to enable this setting later this week.<br/><br/>As recommended by our hosting company, I&#39;d start at something fairly generous like 730 days and tweak from there to get us back within our current hosting plan (which, as a reminder, already costs more than donations alone can cover). 2026-07-27T18:03:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrn8jcm5gclwujtyvh6s55uh5jutnvdj7pf53xldak3fpttyzrfjqzyrfsmvnr6008gzzjt4jt5409w20v8vuw9qanwnv8jadzjwa2dr0s5axdndr Hey folks, over the weekend I got an alert: we&#39;re now over our storage limit again. We&#39;ve already got fewer donations coming in each month than the hosting cost, and bumping up our database space will add another $50/month.<br/><br/>I think that at this point our only realistic option is to enable automatic deletion of remote content: <a href="https://masto.host/mastodon-content-retention-settings/">https://masto.host/mastodon-content-retention-settings/</a><br/><br/>Adding this would mean that posts from other servers would be removed from our local storage, even if a user interacted with them.<br/><br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/116/993/212/372/367/692/original/ca17480b7c6de27d.png"> <br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/116/993/212/384/328/015/original/1f8a5c007c9c1da2.png"> 2026-07-27T18:01:48Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszs8xkj5lcw4g4kzrhy5mph0a3fjc2g5skmrl89pp2dpneuvv67cszyrfsmvnr6008gzzjt4jt5409w20v8vuw9qanwnv8jadzjwa2dr0s5fyk26f Hey folks, our we&#39;ve yet again exhausted our database storage (which is separate from media storage), and is the main driver of our costs.

This is an additional $50/month in hosting costs.<br/><br/>Long term we may have to talk about some ways to bring down the db growth rate, but at the moment this seems to be pretty typical for a Mastodon instance.<br/><br/>If you&#39;d like to help with costs, <a href="https://ko-fi.com/dicecamp">https://ko-fi.com/dicecamp</a><br/><br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/113/228/574/847/546/095/original/43b0ca7d94769d6b.png"> 2024-09-30T21:15:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdx0u6x7cylx2zk2mhfj9yp7jr2prplpt4gr3tfdud0mnyz5vzdeszyrfsmvnr6008gzzjt4jt5409w20v8vuw9qanwnv8jadzjwa2dr0s52dq7su In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsglcz4s45fv4uzmhcgt3l68nejxuhvfrjqjne7x9ej6vxneqxtngspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qxfaygk'>nevent1q…aygk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1u4kdjphm3zjuanddjnuf0x2dw4gxleg4n6j3c8equp4w6z8mmxyq0nvxe4" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>npub1u4kdjphm3zjuanddjnuf0x2dw4gxleg4n6j3c8equp4w6z8mmxyq0nvxe4</span> (<span class="italic">npub1u4k…vxe4</span>)</a></span> no policy yet 2023-07-05T21:49:37Z
