Suggestion about files removal when storage is almost full #17

Hi,

I like very much this project. I think it is a great one!! I plan to use it with my Home Assistant server.

One thing I noticed that I think can be improved (user experience aspect) -

I run kerberos.io on docker and suddenly witnessed all files on the capture folder being removed every 1 min or so. It turned out that my 450GB SSD had only ~32GB free space. Once I cleaned the recycle bin (~80GB), the phenomenon disappeared. I guess Kerberos checks free space by percentage - I suggest to do it by actual GB. 32GB are a lot of free space and should not cause such aggressive files deletion. I also suggest to eliminate older files only. Maybe leave always the newest 50 files or so? Instead of delete them all.

thanks in advanced and cheers!

we'll take that into account in new release (this repo). The issue however is related to kerberos-io/machinery. Thanks @quammy
