shelldweller··on Show HN: I made a private self-destructing image hosting site in Golang
OK, thanks. I might pull it down, or gate it somehow. And tbh I dont think all this drama is real. Like people expect me to believe that there are triads of evil people out there sitting behind their green on black terminals who are creating pipelines in yaml that bring upon us the corruptions of hell. come on ...

because I say so. I will eventually upload the code to codeberg. Not that many people can read code, they just enjoy the comfort of having the source in front of them.

No. Everything HARD DELETES.

well it was really fun coding it (no ia btw) so I do wanna keep it up. How do you suggest I protect the service from abuse? File size limit? usage count limit? some kind of OCR that filters bad content and bans users... I dont mind extending the service...

Its small and I have this vps for 2 years for basically free.

On the matter of dmca: the server doesn't accept large uploads, and only accepts pictures. So what will be stolen which is soooo tiny yet so important that grants legal action on a small service?

Also I don't know what people are uploading (and have no way of knowing), so my consciousness is clear. AND people don't use a random site on the internet for such filth, they have their own networks and chat apps. I wouldn't worry about them using my site.

well yea, uploader doesnt count as a viewer. Unless you mean you opened the link twice in different browsers.
