Summary
When an instance is updated to 29 or 30, a blurhash is generated for every image in the background. For performance reasons, the blurhash generator requests a scaled preview instead of the full image. On large instances this is a problem because a preview will be generated and persisted for every image on the server.
Now, the preview is generated on the fly and not persisted to disk.
A cleaner alternative to #46864.
