Can we use LET hosts? Or the restriction apply too?
Ah yes, but its not safer right now how it is. At least takedowns arent your problem, but images are shown anyway.
not sure i'd want @jbiloh having a list of every website and individual i ever show an image but i respect your desire.
Zipline is pretty good, too
The fact that we don't host any content right now is a protective layer on both the security and copyright concerns.
memes and shitposting should be covered by fairuse
A question here who would establish that line between fair use and copyrighted content?
time for MemeClassify.com
Are pfps/avatars a risk at all rn?
I think we could vibe one.
I’d like to do this, but it’s clear that the effort required for ongoing maintenance will be immense.
theres no reason to reinvent the wheel. Theres a shitload of services available already. The question is just, does it support deletion, does it support sharex.
For "selfhosting" specifically the questions are just do you really wanna be bombarded with abuse complaints and/or police visits cause you will innevitably get csam content on there without a doubt.
I did one but I am not very happy with it. Plus, it needs maintaining, otherwise hello RCE and server kaput.
Lock it down just for yourself to upload and this problem solved.
Just curious: why is deletion so important, what's the point? Isn't it just "upload, post and forget" most of the time? And then people complain when another image host goes down and all the previously posted images are gone.
yeah obviously, but OP/zed wasnt looking to selfhost it in the first place, as it would fall back to them.
It was brought up here, for LET for example, to host images to be used here. @jbiloh did already respond to that a few posts ago.
im the wrong person to ask, OP/zed was looking for it.
but i have to admit, ive commited the horrible crime of deleting data that happens to be forming a png or jpg image.

To be clear this is something I'd like to implement but the security concerns make it tricky.
Happy to hear any suggestions.
No, to hide my illegal traffic within cheap API inference and Tor traffic, also for IRC
Also on offer illegal vapes in UK/EU and infinite THC analogues, just scan my IP
One would think but apparently the fish and chips people can't figure out how to circumvent that block 😂
More that you have to deal constantly with illegal content, DMCA, CP, abuse from freeloaders using it for their business, etc. not really worth it tbh
If someone wants to pay for it but is too worried about having to handle security and abuse, I'd be happy to set one up lol
I operate Tor exit nodes so I'm not afraid of abuse complaints.
I pledge $4/m
Edit:
Paid annually. Hopefully vanilla has some kind of SSO for image management
Tor exits are kinda different though. You can basically just reply "this is a tor exit node, I can't do anything about it" to every complaint.
With image hosting you have to actually take the time to review the reports (incl. vile shit)
That's true, but it does mean that I recognize that abuse complaints happen and that they have to be responded to rapidly. The only difference is the response will be "thanks for the report, it's been deleted" rather than "sorry, it's an exit".
I use postimages.org. You can delete your images there, as long as you're signed in when you post them, and when you need to delete them.
If you just want to share things from yourself, PicoShare works quite well on a small VPS. It’s kept really simple, no folders, no users, only the person with the password can upload some files (except for guest links).

Hi, for most stuff yeah, but for the worst category deleting isn't the end of it. in the US a provider that finds CSAM has to report it to NCMEC and preserve it, so it turns into paperwork pretty quickly. that's usually what makes people give up on free image hosts, more than the bandwidth
catbox has uploads disabled
why? what was the reason?
Need more storage
