I've been hoping for an Imgur replacement for simple, hosted image sharing. I'm happy to pay $1/mo, but when I tried to upload https://camo.githubusercontent.com/9ec8d13de2878c899fda0bd43... I got this, which doesn't look like what I uploaded: https://cln.sh/4coS9T / https://imgz.org/i5qphFzd.gif

Or ipfs if your machine is often online

The quota is "whenever CloudFlare decides I've used too much of their caching", I think. Hetzner is pretty great about bandwidth, I think they'll let me use as much as will saturate the connection to the DC.

Might be worth looking at pulling with a Worker if that's ever an issue. They don't care if you do it that way :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20791660 E: lol you were in that thread, you probably know about it

I was but I'd forgotten, thanks for reminding me! Also, Cloudflare now have a very nice image resizing product which I'd probably use if IMGZ didn't need to resize ten images per year.

I'm not sure they're ready for my kind of volume yet.

Conform to influence. OBEY. I was going to upload a nice screencap from a 1988 movie They Live to IMGZ and link it here, but it turns out my trial expired so no link for you.

Obey propaganda :D actually, conform to influence doesn't mean that. It means, to influence a group you need to be part of the group. To be part of the group, you need to first conform to the group.

Ah I see, I read "influence" as a noun when you meant it as a verb. Very ambiguous though.

Actually I have the exact same problem. I should fix that... EDIT: Fixed, thanks!

Oh wow, quick response & fix haha. Thank you! You might've just convinced me to pay for the service. Looks good.

Ahaha you fell right into my trap!

TBH, I would avoid this service on the grounds it seems to be run by one person (to what extent its just clever self promotion hinges on charitable interpretation) -- this blurb whilst humorous is on line with the Discord cutesy error messages. It really hammers home this is not in the big leagues (or the minor leagues rather) and if you are using this service, you should be fine with that. However charging customers…

I haven't been this entertained for the mere price of $12 in a very long time. I think it's worth the price of admission even if I never even try to upload an image.

If you get your socks off at the idea of a paid single developer lead image hosting, then let's hope the guy doesn't lose interest (as there is no obligation not to) or even, not get hit by a bus as the bus factor seems to be one.

Still low even after HN surge?

Let me check... TWO more images were added today! At this rate, I'm going to need to buy a whole datacenter by next week. https://imgz.org/blog/2020/12/23/haha-suckers/

Don't knock exponential growth!

Oh no no no, that won't do. Please send your SLA and NDA for me to sign, we can't be spending $12 willy-nilly! We could have almost bought one movie ticket to Cats for that money!

Look, kudos for having a great sense of humour, but nobody is talking about a SLA or NDA, I was talking about the fact it's almost a guarantee that your service will cause an inordinate amount of pressure on you and that's quite obvious. Though I must congratulate you for making trawling through hckrnews a source of work as evidenced by the corrupt file upload that was brought to your attention.

I doubt that, this is the tenth or so service that I create and run and it's all been fine. You see, my secret power is that I'm terrible at marketing, so I only ever have two active users.
