I changed mine a while back[1], (I was Jaruzel), although I don't think dang would be that happy if we all started asking. Stavros, now that I'm in your comment replies... can I hijack this comment branch to ask what payment provider you are using and what the integration process was like ? --- [1] I did it during a peak of self-loathing, I kinda regret it now, but ho-hum.
I'm using Stripe, they're great! I love them.
Cheers!

It only has to work for you! Did/do you need/use animated gifs?
Don't tell me what to do! I want to fix animated gifs and I'll fix animated gifs!
Per the edits on your previous posts, I read this more as "and I'll pivot to only supporting animated gifs!"

#335If you don't mind using AWS you can just set up an S3 bucket and a point a CloudFront distro to it (takes upload() { aws s3 cp ${@:2} $1 s3://$BUCKET_NAME echo https://$CLOUDFRONT_DOMAIN/$1 | pbcopy }
Honestly, so many things could go wrong here. I’m a programmer and I’d have to google how to “do” the above.
If anything, this makes me want to sign up for IMGZ. Maybe the above comment should be on IMGZ landing page.

For the same reason you'd trust a free service with your data. Especially photos and image data.
I don't know about you, but I consider my credit card details to be a more sensitive piece of data than some meme I wanted to show to some friends.
If your credit card data is stolen, you can reverse the charges and in the worst case get a new card, canceling the old one. You will be made whole very quickly. If your data is stolen, you have very little recourse. Honestly of all the things to be worried about, stolen credit card details is probably one of the least of my concerns. Besides, he's using a payment service where he doesn't even see the credit card details, so you wouldn't be sharing your credit card details, just a token for charging. And if he fraudulently charges the card, you reverse it. Your credit card details are still safe.
My personal data is worth a lot more to me than credit card details.

#337I thought the comments to this were well above average on the entertaining scale. Pretty embarrassing, though, that probably the majority of comments seemed to take it seriously, even reprimanding the creator for not being serious enough, not taking his Business seriously enough. It seems to create dissonance among many that such a thing even exists. People seem deeply confused it's not full speed ahead, like every o…

What personal data are you putting on an image hosting service?

I am not fine with AWS as there is no way to avoid suprise 30 000 $ payments caused by some bug.
Re: IMGZ – Paid image sharing
#340Very neat. The thing that scares me about doing any type of personal project for image sharing/hosting (especially with a free tier/trial) is that very quickly it will become a magnet for some very awful stuff. What are your plans for dealing with that?
CloudFlare has a thing where it automatically reports bad stuff to me and the authorities, and I turned it on, so hopefully all the abusers will be discouraged by that. Also I have their credit card info.
Did not know about that Cloudflare service. Thanks for sharing. I learned something.
