Thanks HN, I have now lost my Twitter profile image and can't upload a new one:

I love that you did that. Never be afraid of breaking things. In this case it's amusing but imagine you would have done this in a banking application and you'd probably be arrested for hacking.

Let's check how much HDD space they got?

I always have a hard time interpreting Twitter posts. Did you link to two images in this post? Were they things you observed when trying to upload an avatar with a filename in accordance with this bug? Why does Twitter crop the images? (This it what I see: https://u.pomf.is/dmomwl.png )

Yes, there are two images. You should be able to click on them separately to open the full images [0][1]. The first screenshot shows a preview of the file with its name which I tried to upload to Twitter, the other one shows what I observed locally through htop when running `convert` on that filename.
