I have some statistical questions about the site:
Summing the file size of all posts together, how much disk space do the uploaded files occupy? Would it be possible to generate a logarithmic chart of "number of posts" over "filesize"?
I guess I could find that out by going through the API but if somebody has the numbers ready it would save me some effort.
How many posts, on average, are uploaded each day? Are you expecting to hit any limits anytime soon and are there any limits in place? I mean limits like "What happens when somebody uploads a really huge file?", "What happens when we hit a certain number of posts? (e.g. 2^31, even though that's huge)" or "What happens when the total disk space mentioned above exceeds some limit?". Is there a limit on how big an uploaded file can be? The biggest file so far (found with https://e621.net/post/index/1/order:filesize ) is this 100 MB monster: https://e621.net/post/show/950016 .
Have you ever had any problems with MD5 collisions? What if I found a legitimate file (i.e. not a duplicate and not garbage) which has the same MD5 as an existing file and I uploaded that. How would the conflict be resolved?
