As a workaround: I think GrapheneOS let’s you sandbox apps, including Google apps. You might install the standard Pixel camera in a sandbox and see how it performs.
Risk in this setup should be minimal due to the limited access the app would have.
Inflation’s been happening since currency was created. We don’t notice day to day because the effects are stretched over a long period.
Try calculating the value of a 2010 dollar against the current 2023 dollar. You’ll find the cumulative effect of ~5% inflation each year is significant.
In addition, periods exist throughout American history during which inflation has spiked noticably within a year or two - this is nowhere near the first time.
Sounds like you’re not familiar with driving in the US. Passing along the shoulder is both illegal and incredibly dangerous. These long roads without passing lanes, often with frequent curves making a safe line of sight for passing impossible, create a situation in which courtesy is suggested: if traffic builds up behind while you travel drastically below the nominal speed of traffic with no opportunity to pass coming up, pull over to let them pass.
Unfortunately, the middle of nowhere exists and that’s where people tend to vacation when they want to exist outside of a concrete jungle. The middle of nowhere also lacks funding for significant road infrastructure; that will not change and changing it would be so inordinately expensive that doing so would be foolish. The answer here is simple courtesy as a driver.
Also, emergency vehicles aren’t going to be stuck behind am RV - they obligate everyone to pull over by law. The issue is that emergency vehicles do not exist in these areas. None. No help available. No funding, no people to do the job. The US is vast and significant portions of land exist with barely any residents.
You can also be sure that hospitals are at least an hour’s drive away in these locations where no opportunity to pass exists. There’s no way around it: someone impeding the flow of traffic significantly without allowing faster traffic to pass is dangerous, both because of emergencies and the inevitable human tendency to pass in risky situations due to frustration.
Sure: becoming a member of a corporation costs money. You either have to pay to get it set up or buy a share to get in so those who already paid are made whole.
Unfortunately, the US as an example, our society is structured such that the majority of people here have zero savings with wages decreasing in value every year due to inflation. A person in this situation cannot produce money to buy-in; squeezing water from a stone situation.
Easy! Being stuck behind a slow moving vehicle over significant distances, especially on long stretches where passing is not viable, results in notably greater travel time; often increasing trip duration by 25%, more if RVs cover the entire stretch.
An RV driver can stop anywhere in the comfort of their RV to eat food, use their restroom, stretch on their mattress for a nap. A driver in a car often deals with unsanitary and often broken facilities along those long countryside stretches. I have IBS; an RV can extend the time I have to experience gut-stabbing pain by half an hour only to reach a clogged toilet with blood smeared everywhere and then I’m stuck behind them again or I have to go use leaves in a bush.
Point is, sometimes people are in situations where getting somewhere faster is important and we’ve not even considering medical emergencies where every minute counts and emergency services are too far distant to intervene, if cell signal exists at all to reach them. RVs usually won’t pull over to allow a person to pass despite their signals. It’s just a shitty situation and the alternative presented by most who are free of disabilities, not going out to enjoy one’s life in the fullest manner possible, at best lacks empathy.
From a theory perspective alone, ignorant of Lemmy specifics: a database query can be made to list all cached images including a unique identifier for each image. Use this list to find each cached image.
Look at your cached image list and decide how you want to prune it. The most likely pattern for this system is FIFO, so prune the oldest cached data until you drop below the target disk usage.
In practice, you’ll likely use somebody else’s solution. Be sure to read the contents of their solution carefully to ensure it doesn’t move sensitive data to an externally accessible location or exfiltrate data directly.
