Hey #mastoadmin people, is there something I should be running to clear up space on my mastodon server besides tootctl media remove and tootctl preview-card remove? I'm the only one on my server and somehow I have over 60GB being taken up. Doesn't seem right to me. 🤔
I must be somewhere around my 1 year anniversary on the #Fediverse with #Mastodon, which included a short stint testing out #Calckey, hosting my own instance as a #serveradmin, and migrating my account multipl times because being able to do that - even while leaving old posts behind - is cool.
It’s steadily gotten better and better here, while the interactions overall have always been better than the hellsite. That might change but since douchebags congregate like flies to shit, being able to block entire instances (or defederate if needed) is great.
Now if people would stop clinging to the hellsite with whatever excuses they’re using to delude themselves (excluding the POC who’ve experienced the shitty side of a mostly white Fediverse), we could continue trying to fulfill the promise the web had before aggregators & algorithms ruined practically everything.
A story:
Yesterday evening I (re)started a project to clean up the DNS records in all my domains.
For a few reasons, my DNS setup is a bit complex, with 'leaf' DNS entries being CNAMEs referencing service pivot points.
I'll detail that more later.
But in doing so I realized my "big spreadsheet of domains" is a bit out of date. So not only do I need to update that, but I really do want to at least put landing pages on some of them. [1/5]
One thing leads to another and now I have a much nicer VM template & deploy setup but still no new web server and now I am remembering I never actually cleaned up the domain spreadsheet.
