My mastodon sever also ran out of storage yesterday so I had to run a db cleanup script overnight. The sacrifice file there is called `killme.txt` :P
@Miaourt Maybe? I keep a 2GB file on filesystems with databases so that once the DB fills up and the system locks up I can kill the sacrifice and give the DB a bit of wiggle room to run maintenance scripts.
@mauve ye that what I meant ! But after soom search-engining it seems that's it's not really a standard word for this kind of file, my bad... 
@Miaourt Maybe it is in a parallel universe somewhere 😸
@mauve sacrifice, as in ballast?
