Oh thanks for the heads up, I should've read it more carefully :P

Based in Israel, don't get anything. This is standard as our contacts usually specify that a third of our salary is legally considered compensation for overtime.

There's no defined schedule, it's mostly "whoever is available will take care of the incident, and if multiple people are available then they should join too". It will obviously not go smoothly if you're never available. This is terrible, I wonder if there are any other places that behave like this.

It should be noted that this isn't weird considered the working hours are quite bad compared to the OECD, not terrible though.

Okay, you may not gonna like it but I rented a 1TB storage box from Hetzner for 3 euros a month, just to get that foot off my neck. It's omega cheap and mountable via CIFS so life is good for now. I'm still interested in what I described in the OP, and I even started scribbling some Python, but I'm too scared of fucking anything up as of now.

The annoying part in writing that script was discovering that the filenames on disk don't match the filenames in the URLs. E.g., given this URL:
https://lemmy.org.il/pictrs/image/e6a0682b-d530-4ce8-9f9e-afa8e1b5f201.png. You'd expect that somewhere inside volumes/pictrs you'd find e6a0682b-d530-4ce8-9f9e-afa8e1b5f201.png, right...? So that's not how it works, the filenames are of the exact same format but they don't match.

So my plan was to find non-local posts from the post table, check whether the thumbnail_url column starts with lemmy.org.il (assuming that means my instance cached it), then finding the file by downloading it via the URL and scanning the pictrs directory for files that match the exact size in bytes of the downloaded files. Once found, compare their checksums to be sure it's the same one, then delete it and delete its post entry in the database.

When get close to 1TB I'll get back here for this idea... :P

Haha I'm literally on it right now. My instance crashed a couple of hours ago because of it, so I emptied ~/.rustup to get some time, but idk how to go about it from here. LPP didn't do anything. That seems really curious, does literally everyone use S3?

Thanks a lot, I was looking for this exact kind of community. Posted there <3

I should've mentioned it in the post, but I already tried deleting pics modified more than X days ago. The catch is that I don't wanna delete pics uploaded to my server, I just want to delete pocs cached from other instances :(

Yep, I manage my servers and local machine with Ansible so I abstracted it with a role. This is indeed not that bad of a con because it's still plaintext so automation is easy, but it's still a minor issue ;)

Love me some systemd timers. Much more fun than cron.

• Sane handling of environment variables with EnvironmentFile=
• Out of the box logging. Especially useful is the ability to journalctl -f to watch long-running processes, which I'm not sure whether possible with cron
• The ability to trigger the service manually rather than setting the timer to * * * * *, then forgetting it's supposed to run in a minute, get distracted, come back in 15 minutes

My only complaint is it's a bit verbose. I'd rather have it as an option inside the .service file. The .timer requires some boilerplate like [Unit].description (it... uh... triggers a service. that's the description), and WantedBy=timers.target. But these are small prices to pay

Yessss I love how the algorithm here isn't tailored towards sucking me in

It took me so much fucking time to realize how it works. There it is:

I learned Kubernetes in a hurry in my previous job, so I skimmed over lots of "obvious" things (in my manager's eye) and this was one of them:(

I just rented a VPS from Hetzner because that's the workflow I'm already familiar with. Lowest tier, 5$, and since it's ARM it's also beefy enough to never need an upgrade I hope :P

What's that?
