<occam> oh boy
<occam> http://indymedia.dk/system/photo/file/12/topapril2008.jpg how do you build that path?
<occam> whats 12? internal id for the image?
<occam> http://indymedia.dk/system/photo/file/2008/04/12/topapril2008.jpg << should scale better on the file system
<kwadronaut> yesyesyes occam!
<kwadronaut> thanks for telling that
<yossarian> 12 is the id of the image yeah
* kwadronaut has bad experiences with old and popular sfa sites
<yossarian> can you tell me more about why that works better on the file system?
<occam> we still have sites not using upload/$year/?!?!
<kwadronaut> because it would take 10k years before your ls is giving bogus output yossarian 
<yossarian> hahahahah
<kwadronaut> occam: radio.indymedia.org
<occam> file systems have a tree of informatins about the files in a directory... if you have too many files in one directory, it takes way much longer to build these informations... so things like a rsync will take a couple of times longer as if you split up thing into years
<kwadronaut> that's the nice way of phrasing it
<occam> also, you scale better with the diskspace usage
<occam> and bandwith
<occam> since that dir structure allows you to split things up by years...
<occam> so 2001-2007 could be on one mirror, and the current stuff on another
<occam> also, do that with all your media and static files expect the logo or so
<yossarian> ok, i'll file a ticket for this
<occam> audio, video, articles..
<yossarian> i already have one for events and articles
<yossarian> but we'll need it for the media too 
<occam> $year/$month is minimum
<occam> year only would not scale
<occam> if you think big you include $day ;)
