They can handle the disk space. Images are small and even smaller when compressed
I run a server and find that often times the images that come over are full-size uploads. pictrs doesn’t seem to be doing any resizing or compression on them, and the originals are instead getting dumped over to servers that federate. It’s actually my biggest fear right now because that alone can fill up disk space real quick.
It might be a configuration or something I can change, but I’ve yet to figure it out.
I moved my instance to object storage because the pictrs storage got out of hand pretty quickly! It's not really sustainable at block storage prices.
I need to look into that. It’s not too bad yet but this is prime time to get that kind of thing sorted.
