What were you doing with last year logs?

i was trying to take a backup of my blog to see if i can do some fancy stuff there, when i realized that the blog backup was 2 gb (!) in size. now, i know that i post a lot, but i don’t think that i post that much.

as it turns out, the problem was with unbounded logs that started taking up most of the space in the database:

in general, when building applications that are meant to run over long periods of time without attention, it is better to have some way of getting rid of unimportant information automatically.
