Too bad. But never rely on an image hoster, they go down like flies. Maybe something like ipfs.pics is more stable, but that's not proven.
Thats why we like picinfinity, it makes sure the images stay live using multiple hosts.
I'm not familiar with pic∞ tech, but I guess a DNS ban could nuke it. Or some other simple thing, there were so many before it which were sunk.
I liked veuwer and sling was ok as well, but you know it ended like many others.
Yeah @picman works pretty closely with us most of the time, so worst case I'll make it a poal sub domain and mod the links in the database. I am far from a good programmer but I am pretty bad ass when it comes to system admin stuff, knowing @picman has multiple domains means its harder to kill that way. DNS is a big problem though and one I haven't come up with a great solution for yet, I'll keep at it and I'm sure come up with something eventually.
That sucks...these fucking SJW will not be happy until the entire world is destroyed.
I designed logos for its owner (@jmtullock & @jmtullock2 on voat) a few years ago.
Yeah it’s a bummer, things like this are exactly why. I didn’t host in the us. Also I’ve got an idea just Incase something like this did happen to poal. Remind me to bring it up on riot later
Noted!
Yes, I keep local backups of poal and the database and could roll out poal onsite in a matter of minutes. Obviously my bandwidth is limited but in the event of something like this poal would not die or even experience much downtime while I found a new host. In the event I lost my connection and the host shut us down I could even roll out on another connection I have access too relatively quickly over mobile. I've spent a fair bit of time thinking about this and I have an even better plan in the works but I'll sit on that one until its either ready or closer too it.
Good to know that you're prepared. I guess the problem is where to host if shit gets ugly.
I've got a list of alternatives. Worst case scenario I'll start my own god damn datacenter.
I guess they finally found those Trudeau Castro memes.
