Now, no doubt this is my own dumbarse fault, but I’m coming to find that relying on Imgur to preserve my pic-content across the mini-articles I write and share on the Lemmysphere is just… well, I mean it’s just so utterly hit-or-miss that it’s become completely unreliable, daggit.
For example, I happened to check on the Satania review I first posted ~10mos ago, and discovered that the Imgur page source had been deleted without notice, altho oddly, the lead full thumbnail / image still remains. Like, what…?!
Point is-- there seems to be utterly no rhyme nor reason for the image deletions, whether the content is uploaded via official acct or not, or is kid-safe vs NSFW stuff, or is new vs old stuff, or even via file-size issue (I think, not totally sure).
Anyway, yeah… it’s clearly past time to get the hell out.
So what would you recommend, mateys, and how reliable do you think that host is? (I’m completely cool with paying a monthly fee via PayPal in order for our content to last)
Note: the lead pic is just an anti-Imgur thing I randomly discovered, lol.
Is there a way to set up a vps as a seedbox with a cloud storage provider as storage? VPSes have almost no storage, and I already have a cloud storage provider with a fuckton of space; so spending $30+ a month on a dedicated seedbox seems unnecessary.
Yes, you could use the VPS as your web server, and probably map a connection to your other storage.
Or, if you’re confident it won’t cause problems, run a web server directly on your current storage provider if that’s possible (such as with a dedicated server).
