I'm running my own server on a linode. I've got it on the cheapest tier which is $5 a month. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do when the 25GB gets full, I'll have to find out the best way to delete old posts and pictures.
Keep the activity table on a tight leash.
Yeah, I've heard of people using cron jobs to automatically clean activity older than 3 days.
I'm not sure what can be done about image staking up a lot of space, I imagine that'll take up a ton of space after a while. Not sure how that could be cleaned up safely.
I believe there are ways to prune the images store but I haven't dug into that yet.
