Oh thanks for the heads up, I should’ve read it more carefully :P

Based in Israel, don’t get anything. This is standard as our contacts usually specify that a third of our salary is legally considered compensation for overtime.

There’s no defined schedule, it’s mostly “whoever is available will take care of the incident, and if multiple people are available then they should join too”. It will obviously not go smoothly if you’re never available. This is terrible, I wonder if there are any other places that behave like this.

It should be noted that this isn’t weird considered the working hours are quite bad compared to the OECD, not terrible though.

Me with every post here

I’d be scared to perform POST/PUT with LLM-generated commands. For immutable calls I agree though

Terrible choice of name

I guess they were referring to formatting other than tabs, like place of brackets and line length, which sounds like a neat idea

He’s literally me that’s why I posted. Commenters won’t get it

I’m using both of them:) zoxide comes with a zi command which lets you search through your recent directories

Yep, it’s more of a reference. I like the argparse tutorial and would love to see more docs of this kind though

Nah 30 hours/week for insurance? It’s mandatory here starting from 1hr/week 😭 Thanks for the explanation

can only get 25 hrs a week because obongocare

Uh can an American explain this? Obamacare sets a cap for weekly working hours?

I feel the same and I’ve been using Python for years professionally. It’s the lack of examples for me; usually functions and classes aren’t meant to be used as-is but rather fed as an argument into some other function or class, and this info is seldom portrayed in the func’s documentation. E.g. the documentation of BaseHTTPRequestHandler is one that I trip over every single time, I have to resort to reading the source code of SimpleHTTPRequestHandler to remember how handlers are supposed to be defined 🐺

Nah I thought the same but then I manually checked it. In most of the image posts I see, the image URL starts with lemmy.org.il, which made me wonder whether they’re actually downloaded or it’s some kind of whacky proxy. So I downloaded some of these pics and looked for files of identical size and hash digest, and indeed they were on my disk!

It’s not a bad decision to cache pics, because it does make the experience really smooth, and I’m not complaining about it. Mastodon does this as well

Yeah, pretty big storage requirement due to the way pictrs works. Pictrs is the piece of software Lemmy relies upon to manage image storage, uploads, and most importantly: caches pictures from other instances. This takes up a HUGE amount of storage space, and there’s no official way to clear this up, see these posts I recently made: first one, second one. The solution I resorted to is renting a 1TB storage box from Hetzner for 3 euros per month, pretty sweet deal but I was kinda annoying by it. So the cheapest deal I could find costs me 6 euros per month: 3 for an Alma Linux ARM VPS from Hetzner, and 3 for that storage box. If you’re in for the fun in tinkering (I sure as hell am in), then get ready for a good time. Other than that, if your main line of reasoning is to take burden off of lemmy.world, then I think just go ahead and join another instance. Better yet: join croud funding of another instnace:)

I’m with you

It’s okay we all know the answer

Okay, you may not gonna like it but I rented a 1TB storage box from Hetzner for 3 euros a month, just to get that foot off my neck. It’s omega cheap and mountable via CIFS so life is good for now. I’m still interested in what I described in the OP, and I even started scribbling some Python, but I’m too scared of fucking anything up as of now.

The annoying part in writing that script was discovering that the filenames on disk don’t match the filenames in the URLs. E.g., given this URL:
https://lemmy.org.il/pictrs/image/e6a0682b-d530-4ce8-9f9e-afa8e1b5f201.png. You’d expect that somewhere inside volumes/pictrs you’d find e6a0682b-d530-4ce8-9f9e-afa8e1b5f201.png, right…? So that’s not how it works, the filenames are of the exact same format but they don’t match.

So my plan was to find non-local posts from the post table, check whether the thumbnail_url column starts with lemmy.org.il (assuming that means my instance cached it), then finding the file by downloading it via the URL and scanning the pictrs directory for files that match the exact size in bytes of the downloaded files. Once found, compare their checksums to be sure it’s the same one, then delete it and delete its post entry in the database.

When get close to 1TB I’ll get back here for this idea… :P

I think you took the joke a bit too seriously

Edit: oh wait wtf I didn’t notice the post body. I agree with you then lol

get-with-the-times-old-man.tar.xz

It’s working but I suspect it doesn’t delete pics or smth. But it’s nice to have nontheless
