Thanks for the detals on how the underlying infrastructure works.
That's pretty small DB size for now. I'll be interested to see how it grows with time. Can you post monthly/quarterly updates on these sort of stats to satisfy my nerdery :)
One big space saver would be keeping md5 hashes of all images uploaded in posts. Does the lemmy codebase accomodate for the same image being uploaded twice and just keep one copy? That would be a HUGE space saver for repeatedly posted meme images. (Edit: I just asked ChatGPT and it claims this feature doesn't exist yet)
Edit: Follow up question. If I subscribed on aussie.zone to a community called highresspacepics (fictional) on another instance does that mean your instance pulls down all the images from said community or do those images remain on the original instance?
I did find a reddit thread with a very similar situation and the general consensus was for my situation of less than $1.6 million in super it makes no difference if I leave it in super or release the 85% back to myself. Same tax regardless.
The ability to remove 85% is just there if someone couldn't afford to pay the additional tax incurred when this excess is added to their taxable income.
Hopefully eventually this community will contain this sort of information and less google results lead to reddit :) Do these lemmy communities get trawled by google?
Still keen to hear the advice of others if Ive misunderstood something. Will have to get my employer to reduce the amount I'm adding into super voluntarily to avoid this confusion next year. It's happened for the last 4 years and is even more this financial year. I've just been too lazy to look into which is better/worse.
