I get the same on Firefox 68.0 (Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP ).
I was thinking ipfs combined with cloudflare-ips gateway could work for one-off file cdn,assuming normal 10-100GB of traffic
Edit: yes, I'm seeing those cipher errors on FF/Chrome mobile too. It was working great yesterday when I posted my comment.
I'm pretty skeptical of IPFS and pulling bits of the file from all over the place anyway. I'd prefer to use a normal server.
+1 for 1Fichier
@willie - one more bit of grist for the mill: droplr
possibly even more janky than 1fichier, but in it's own special "freemium oh but you really want to upgrade to paid version dark pattern" over-engineered ajaxy kind of way.
I've played around with the free version for a few hours and not sure what to make of it, but it is ... interesting. Seems to be aimed more at "enterprise" market - ie file sharing within an organization. Company has been around since 2013 in Bend, Oregon but seems to be running on VC fumes (see https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/droplr)
Paid version is a bit pricey at $6 monthly or about $36 annual price - but provides 1 TB cloud storage, supporting up to 10 GB file size.
About 200 file formats supported so pdf and mp4 files etc should be fine.
Not exactly setup for hotlinking images as such but seems to be possible to grab the image location and work with that.
For example: https://cdn-std.dprcdn.net/files/acc_844947/oXZG4e vs the short link they provide for copy/paste https://d.pr/free/i/dBi1Du which goes to a framing page rather than a raw file
Their system provides some online image annotation functions (which I made use of to add the "worldwide potassium" label).
Free version apparently doesn't keep uploads after 30 days so the above image may or may not be displayed here a month from now.
Free version claims to allow 5 GB traffic per month (but no more than 2 GB in any given week).
I want to like it but seems like more features than I personally care for - and it's not clear that everything is working as intended at least in the "Free" version.
They may or may not still do a free 30 day trial of the "Pro" version - freemium upgrade dark patterns seem to be in play here as it asks for a credit card. Possibly using a referral link will work better, can't say for sure though (PM me for one if you'd like to try that way, I'd be interested to compare notes).
SUCKS BIG TIME!
Since it's
A major one, one of the biggest!
Decent BW in the plans
bumping this thread for great justice
as this query has reminded me of a similar quest I undertook some years ago (ended up well-sated or at least sufficiently distracted by low-end vps so ...)
I got a few more ideas:
already mentioned https://catbox.moe in the cest pit (a "random file dropper I found seems eminently suitable for a low-end upload"). Looks like a long-term personal hobby project funded via patreon. But might scratch an itch, so to speak.
then there is the venerable Fastmail system - not cheap, but if you're already using it for email, then can setup a static website using a subdomain on top of one of Fastmail's own domains together with their File Storage system. (Or could also use your own domain - maybe a throwaway freebie from Freenom, as janky as that might be.) I understand that this is a sub-optimal solution in terms of the preferences outlined in the OP, but there are some nice features such as upload via webdav or even via email attachment, and access to download logs. No ssl for Fastmail's (sub)domains but they do support LetsEncrypt with your own domains.
Example using your porkbun.json file with one of Fastmail's domains:
http://randomgibberish.lowend.fea.st/porkbun.json
note it gave me the option to allow uploads to that folder as well: you can go to http://randomgibberish.lowend.fea.st/ and put the namesilo file there (for example). I'll be able to see the IP it was uploaded from in the logfile, for whatever that's worth.
There is a reasonable filesize limit, I don't remember what it is at the moment.
Anyway ... just another option to consider, probably well-suited for many though certainly not all use cases (if you're already using Fastmail.)
As for privacy - well as you probably know the company is based in Australia and they are running their servers in NYC so it's an open book for 5 eyes but at least they're not Google ammirite ...?
Some other interesting high-end setups (aimed at enterprise applications) that give a free taste of the real deal - but I am reluctant to publicize them here lest they get hit with a wave of unexpected low-end shenanigans ...
All pomf clones are doomed to close. I wouldn't trust them at all unless it's for temporary random file sharing.

@edfox thanks for that most informative spreadsheet ...
I snarfed it from google docs as a csv file and also as html + css
more grist for the mill to test the Fastmail static site system
as expected, seems to handle css in a subdirectory just fine:

pomf clones spreadsheet as .csv file
Also thanks to whoever tested the upload function ... lol:
