Very late to this post, but another possible solution could be to cull the oldest uploaded images when we get close to storage capacity

called them today and told them i am a cute spider. they said "What is the nature of your problem?" and i repeated it. They hung up when I told them I don't have an account

okay thank you that should be all I need!

if citibank calls you please just tell them that you are me.

I wished good things for cohost, it was doing a lot of neat stuff. I made an account and poked around but I've been down this road before so I was waiting to see if it stood the test of time (and also I'm still on tumblr lol). I always want these kinds of projects to succeed even when they're not quite for me, more places for people to choose between is better than fewer. It's sad. I really hope someone figures out how to sustain a non-tiny modern social media site that isn't owned by a huge megacorp someday. Or that the culture shifts enough that "pay $/month to be allowed to upload images" becomes a normal thing people don't balk at (can't imagine this happening but who knows)

When tumblr finally dies someday I'll be so fucking sad. In that event I really want there to be somewhere to go to that isn't another twitter clone. F

i do not post ALL of my ssn...

... but here is a little sneak peak...

You know what's missing from these figures?

A MARKETING BUDGET!!

you should at least keep a personal privacy policy just for yourself

the community is getting use from images! no need to turn them off yet

q30 is not that bad, it's the lower end of what's recommend for "web quality" lol

that could be aesthetic

Right now, everything included, the VPS is using 15GB of its 50GB limit.

I bet most of that is because of f/2hu

If images ever become a problem, we can just turn off uploads.

Maybe we could also just limit the file size to like 200 KiB? I could just recompress my uploads to JPEG quality 30 (and also reduce the resolution if need be) in that case lol

we dont even have a privacy policy

Imm gonna get us sued

if you ban touhou, only outlaws will have touhous

If images ever become a problem, we can just turn off uploads.

we could also ban touhou

Yeah jstpst isn't even close to shutting down, I feel I should mention that Lol.

Sad about cohost! There was a moment where I thought about posting there more, but a part of my reasoning to avoid it was just that there was no way it was going to last, I didn't really trust the management.

But yes! Thank you everyone for posting!

hmm, i think the admins and sysadmins are all in the united states lol

i can proudly say no govt agencies have asked me to do anything wrt jstpst, but i would also fold immediately if asked, so, fair warning

that makes sense. I'll make sure to post all my compromising stuff on my raddle

I'm not sure about doing a warrant canary tbh. It's going to be another responsibility to keep up on a regular basis (Raddle updated their canary monthly before they've made it irregular, and other companies do it every 6 months). Updating the canary itself is not the hard part (until you get an actual gag order), but rather remembering to do it lol. If you forget, users might think jstpst got compromised when it's not

If you're going to do it anyway, it might be a good idea to have at least one admin who is outside of 14 Eyes doing the cryptographic signing, so that a government agency from those countries couldn't just force an admin here to update the canary

i think that's possible but that's too sickening to even consider

maybe we should use shamir secret sharing between the three sysadmins so all three have to use a password to enter the database

Can u run a query to find out everyone whose down voted one of my posts please

Jokes aside, I do know how to make someone admin in an emergency. I would do it if something bad happened-- I don't wanna step outside my role.

Jokes back, just let me know who u want banned <3

Can't you just rejigger the db? Make me an admin so I can do it
