That's not necessary true. You can have a public bucket accessible to the web and disable directory listing. Inside that public bucket is a file named "snoop-dog-jumps-jessica-rabbit-Tr5fsG3uMLuSAgCaG6Zyv9gqVcC35CLE.mkv".
"Tr5fsG3uMLuSAgCaG6Zyv9gqVcC35CLE" is a random string generated with random.org password generator. The link is not shared with anyone. How you do know it's there without snooping and violating privacy?
In that case only if the file gets reported, but that wasn't the case
In case you get bored, there's always @beanman109 's OF.
I've followed this thread since the very beginning. Every time I thought about how unexpectedly honest the OP was, I couldn't help smiling. My biggest achievement from this drama was that now I've known, literally for the first time in my life, what a desi adult video clip is like...
Key take away here
i intend to be honest till my last statement here.
Since I came to LET, I thought of you as one irritating dude but as I see it now, I just misinterpreted your posts earlier.
I stand corrected. As a fellow forum member, my respect for you have increased due to this honesty. I myself would hesitate to put everything in public if I put in similar scenarios.
So where can I see these videos? You know. For science.
I asked chatgpt. It didn't give me an answer.
I wouldn't call it true ai hence.
when you google it, you have to remove the '+' signs in the file name. I was so curious that I finally figured that out today.
"Lucky guess"
I'm using the "open-core" version of GrayLog, which is open source: https://github.com/Graylog2/docker-compose
It's pretty resource intensive because it runs an Elastic Search instance, but I've got it working on a 2C/6G VPS and it's running smoothly.
The other option I know of is LogStash, which is pretty similar but it also requires Elastic so it's also quite resource intensive: https://github.com/elastic/logstash
Don't know about what happened in your case. The scenario I described, it's highly unlikely that someone is going to report himself, but more likely the host will snoop around and then make a "report".
If I remember correctly, google drive uses a similar method when you make a public link. It's more likely for an asteroid to hit your server than someone making a lucky guess.
There are few points to make here:
Something stored in a public folder/bucket, does not mean it's even available over the web. Even if it is, it doesn't mean that it's available to anyone else but the file owner. Scanning those files is data processing and it needs a valid legal basis.
Additionally, changing root passwords and snooping around your cusomers' files to find "porn" or whatever is a form of insanity. What's left to see is how will providers who do that deal with their insanity when encrypted virtualization matures and becomes the default.
Science or education proposes ?
Asking the big question, does this type of material cause inflation around the world ?
no but it does cause an inflation in my pants
I am sure it has been known to cause injury (sore wrist)
so, OP, did you got your porn stuff back (for free) from @CharityHost_org or not yet?
The fee was waived and was unsuspended so that OP would download and remove it and not host porn on CharityHost.org in public_html. The trigger, honestly, was the full disk space on the account. Once we saw that, we noticed it was public whether their domain was serving it directly or not, it's hosts file capable to host publicly.
The reason we do not permit porn publicly hosted, is due to the nature of our long running customers ethics on the matter, being ministries, churches, ngos, etc. Just to be clear, we understand that legal porn hosting, is legal, that's not the problem. $25 fee for aup violation is waived when it is non-fault AUP violation by the customer. We implemented this to dissuade abuse and TOS/AUP violations by new customers. We do not and will not login to customers accounts without permission, but this was public and we hold our AUP seriously for the above reasons.
So it was not a random keyword screening?
You also admitted to logging into client servers
You said you reset the password and logged in as root.
You also keep saying "We didn't do it, but if we did it was a mistake" over and over in the private providers thread.
Nothing you ever say is consistent.
Approach the Misty Forest!
Sometime, it's better to be silent than saying anything at all.
This is such scenario. The more you open up, the more loopholes we can see and the more aggregated people will come here.
how is an ftp storage publicly accessible? enlighten me.
It has an added shared hosting bonus. So anything you put in public html will be publicly accessible.
For me my inflation is HANDable> @CharityHost_org said:
That is something I asked here and in the private thread too.
I have shared advise on the private thread on moving forward to prevent this issue.
This just gets more amusing.
Op long time gone, he does not care. Accused party also gone. Pointless discussion.

His comment is regurgigated crap for previous answers. There is nothing new.
yes but he's still very bothered by it for good reasons.
