It warms my heart to see lemmy instance owners learning about the nuances of db administration 🥰
I don’t think you should be enjoying the fact that there are some problems that could realistically cause a large portion of Lemmy instances to become unsustainable. We should be working towards a way that we can ensure the Lemmy ecosystem thrives.
I mean… it was kind of a joke. At the same time, if someone is hosting a database on their own hardware, it is important to understand when and how the database actually releases disk.
That said, I completely agree that this is an issue that does need to be addressed.
At this point it might actually be worth adding it to my CV 😂
