I’m a small instance.
In 3 years my pict-rs S3 bucket has grown to over 1.2TB
Yeah disable it. I’m not sure why I didn’t before.
Turning it off completely means that theoretically I could expose a users IP. Say I DM them a unique photo URL. Zero click and I got that. Lemmy’s default UI blocks that but some apps like Voyager don’t. Or you could reply to an old comment which makes it very likely they’ll be the only ones to see it.
I turned on proxy-ing.























On S3 storage it’s a monthly cost, so it’ll add up over the years.
