Unfortunate. 5$ is a perfect no brainer price, but I pay 1€/mo for my e-mail hosting and definitely get more value out of that ... Flawless demand adjustment, though.
Out of curiosity, what do you use for email? I'm currently on Office365 but it's way overkill...

That does not answer the question "Then why would I trust him with my credit card"?
You know, this is an interesting question. The site makes it, I think, abundantly clear that I don't really care whether you use the site or not, I made it for me and you can use it if you pay for your resources. It's even open source and you can self-host if you want! Yet people in the comments seem a bit offended at the perceived breaking of the unspoken assumption that a service can't exist without a need for cust…
By definition, a “service” is to serve. Even if you are the only “customer”, it’s still serving someone. And most people have this notion because most services do, in fact, serve other customers, and that’s their main purpose. Not sure why that’s surprising.
> I don't really care whether you use the site or not, I made it for me and you can use it if you pay for your resources.
Going through the effort to make this a publicly accessible service with copy explaining how to use it and what it costs, implies that you at least care enough to serve other customers to go through the effort to do that much.

Dropbox and GDrive both shut down the public links feature years ago (dunno about OD or Box). Is there some workaround for that that I'm not aware of?
> Dropbox and GDrive both shut down the public links feature years ago What? I routinely use those public read-only links on Dropbox to give [access to] a file to someone or e.g. take a presentation to another computer without logging in to anything, I did it just yesterday.

Yes, it's a database. That's where you're meant to put DATA.
>Yes, it's a database. That's where you're meant to put DATA. Most (all?) large-scale high-volume image storage architectures I'm aware of do not store billions of images as blobs in a database. Instead, they typically store the images as files . The database only holding metadata info and a pointer to the image filename location (or url if using AWS S3 or CDN). E.g. Facebook is one of the largest MySQL sites (if not…
I've been meaning to investigate trying storing images in postgres on a hobby web project where it could be convenient; I'd still want to make sure I was streaming bytes from postgres to the client, not loading the whole image into memory and only once fully loaded sending it to the client. Looking at the pg API's for my language/platform of choice, it looked at least plausible to do this with a BLOB.

From the site: > Looking for a dead-simple way to share some images but are ashamed of what Imgur has become? I don't even know why I should be ashamed of what imgur has become. I still use it to host images I want to post to social media, be they funny memes, or screen shots of system/programming errors I'm seeking help solving. It works fine. What's the problem with imgur exactly? I imagine I'm not the only imgur u…
Just wait. The company that brought you Kik and Whisper and Genius is now the proud owner of Imgur and all the fabulous images and data contained within.

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!
I bought a movie on Amazon Prime just yesterday for $14 and it didn't make me as happy as this comment section.

Yes! Definitely don’t upload any pictures of your young daughter taking a bath or of your own body if you are a teenager. Those are evil and hurt people.
That's not porn though, is it? It's just child. I do agree with you though about posting photos of your child/self.
I was so confused by the absence of a login form, below "Already have an account? No you don't. Try to log in below if you think you do anyway." Turns out uBlock was hiding the form; possibly one of my 'social' blocklists. Just in case anybody else runs into that problem!
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!
Nah, in all seriousness - looks like a good service. Happy to be aboard!
