In my experience I haven’t had an issue because usually the refactorings are small. If they’re not I just hop on a call with the person who wrote the MR and ask them to walk me through it.

In theory I’d like to have time to dedicate solely to code health, but that’s not quite the situation in basically any team I’ve been in.

You should refactor as needed as you go because refactoring cases are never gonna be prioritised.

I’m running on 0.19.3 without any issues on Linux arm64. I built my own docker image though.

The situation in Niger is directly contrary to US interests given that there are moves towards asking the US to leave alongside the French + the coup government contacted Wagner/is already aligned with Wagner-backed regimes. The US does a lot of fucked up stuff in the world but it would make no sense for them to be involved here.

True, you’re correct. I’m just not sure how you did it without corrupting the sled db. Maybe I’m just unlucky

Interesting, when I tried a while back it broke all images (not visible on the website due to service worker caching but visible if you put any pictrs url into postman or something)

I wrote a patch for Lemmy a week or so ago if you want to skip the caching: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3897

I think deleting images from the pictrs storage can corrupt the pictrs sled db so I would not advise it, you should go via the purge endpoint on the pictrs API.

Just a note that my PR there doesn’t disable pictrs for your own instance’s users. It just disables the caching of remote content.

The Lemmy instance I’m speaking from right now is running in my k8s cluster.

Yes, there are a few issues in the lemmy-ui including this PR with a temp fix: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2058

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.

If you want to make one on my instance (or any other) I’m happy to help out with it

There is a subreddit for elder scrolls lore called /r/teslore, but for more shit posting lore content there was /r/shittyteslore, but that subreddit went weird so people made true shitty tes lore (/r/truestl).

ah, I did not know that existed

Oh also, mods are appreciated just in case, don’t wanna be the only one lol

I ran this query:

select distinct thumbnail_url as url from post where not local and thumbnail_url like 'https://campfyre.nickwebster.dev/pictrs%'

(replace with your instance’s url)

I then sent delete requests to /internal/purge on pictrs to delete all of those old thumbnails, which cleared out a lot of space. After deleting the thumbnails I ran an UPDATE query to set all of those old thumbnail URLs to null in the DB. I also patched the version of lemmy that I run to stop caching thumbnails in the future. Hope this helps!

Haha yes, that configuration flag PR is mine

100% agreed. I don’t have the time to make a change that complex right now, so I did a fairly blunt approach with the hope that larger instances will keep caching on to reduce load.

Agreed, I sadly don’t have the time to implement that.
