jhead. I haven't heard anything about that program for years. I always considered it one of those programs designed by and for people who can appreciate the command line. The world needs more programs like jhead.

I know what you mean - and we do appreciate the command line in MC, but we also understand that it's not for everyone, so we try to make things like jhead accessible to everyone.

Nice try, NSA.

Well, even if we had been served a warrant, I dunno what we'd give them. We don't store anything about our users. https://blog.mediacru.sh/2013/07/19/MediaCrush-for-nerds.htm...

I'm pretty sure he was joking.

"you'll be able to host your media losslessly and easily on MediaCrush until the end of time" "What's the upload limit? A very generous 25 MB!" For real? Nice.

For really reals. We're considering bumping it up to 50 MB, too.

You'd need at least 500 MB before anybody would bother.

We compete with sites like imgur and their limit is 10.

Is there a reason why you've written your own license, instead of using an established free software license like the GPL?

What? The MIT license is OSI approved.

You're right, it just wasn't clear you were using the MIT License.

can't you make it automatic, taking the news with rss and stop it if you get a warrant?

Nope. If an adversary seizes our servers, we couldn't stop it from falsely reporting that all is well.

If you sign the request w/ a key that isn't present on your servers than it should be impossible for that to occur.

Unless they seize the computer with the key as well
