Don’t delete from the local_user table. You only need to delete from the person table, the rest of the tables will be updated automatically and user count will update automatically.
Edit: The below command will delete all unverified users. NOTE: If you do not have email verification turned on then all users are unverified, therefore all users will be deleted. It also appears with v18 when you enable email verification all existing users remain unverified.
This is a destructive command, use at your own risk and don’t go fucking with the database if you don’t have backups.
DELETE FROM person WHERE local = 'true' AND id IN (SELECT person_id FROM local_user WHERE email_verified = 'false');
In the parenthesis you can add your AND to only select unverified accounts of a certain age.
Assuming you don’t want to expose these services directly to the internet (I don’t recommend it) then you want to set up a VPN to connect back to your home network. Wireguard or OpenVPN are the most commonly used. As far as guides that will depend where/how you want to run it.
Sorry guys, it’s because I just bought another domain today. This really sucks, Google Domains was easy to use and cheap.
For large instances pictures is probably the bigger consumer of space, but for small instances the database size is the bigger issue because of federation. Also, mass storage for media is cheap, fast storage for databases is not. With my host I can get 1TB of object storage for $5 a month. Attached NVMe storage is $1 per month per 10 GB.
For my small instance the database is almost 4x as large as pictrs, and growing fast.
It runs /e/OS, which is very much a privacy focussed OS.
Lots of cheep SFF/thin client machines on eBay.
Some satellites and rovers have used Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs), which are very different from a nuclear reactor. They use polonium-210, which generates heat, and that heat is converted to electricity with thermocouples. They are low power and inefficient.
To my knowledge no satellite, with an RTG, has ever used ion propulsion. Few interplanetary satellites have ever even used ion thrusters. Dawn, Hayabusa, and Deep Space 1 are the only I can think of, and they all used solar arrays.
Ion thrusters are super efficient, but produce extremely small amounts of thrust. They aren’t practical for getting large spacecraft to Mars. These proposed nuclear engines produce large thrust while have efficiency somewhere between regular chemical propulsion and ion propulsion.
Looks like my instance got hit with a bot. I had email verification enabled but had missed turning on captcha (captcha enable should be up with enabling email verification settings). The bot used fake emails so none of the accounts are verified, but still goes towards account numbers. Is there really any good way to clean this up? Need a way to purge unverified accounts or something.
Split beam torque wrenches are where it’s at, especially for home use where it’s going to sit for long periods of time. Split beam is easier to set, and you don’t have to leave it at 0 when not in use. I have ruined many traditional clickers because I forgot to set it back to 0 for storage, then it sits like that for months.
They aren’t as cheap as a traditional clicker, but they are so much better.
