@niklaskorz@rheinneckar.social and I are currently investigating a Mastodon media cache size issue on rheinneckar.social (@admin@rheinneckar.social) that seems to be caused by a sudden uptick of files being cached starting last night (see plot) and caused our VPS hard drive to fill up almost entirely. Has anyone else seen this already?

what if, instead of reinventing the WWW in a more minimalistic form like #Gemini does, we simply integrated markdown renderers into modern browsers and shipped Markdown over HTTP? I can even imagine this happening in a 100% backwards-compatible way if the `Content-Type: text/markdown` HTTP header were used.

@tian2992@mastodon.social at least it's not in the kernel but in a filesystem utils repo 😭

by the way, yes - erofs is already used in production for Android devices

Now that's a code block you *never* want to see on kernel.org or in filesystem tooling:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs-utils.git/tree/mkfs/main.c#n2037-2074

Separation of concerns, anyone??
