So you’d have a bunch of encrypted strings here but no information of what they are? I mean that’s fine but I think it wouldn’t work very optimally for you. Because if someone requested the link on matrix, why not directly give them the link in matrix in the first place?
Ye, basically always keep in mind how much risk it creates. Anything you would do that make us look like an indexer, makes us a target. So the more layers between us and the infringing content we have, the safer.
That’s fine. I hope you can all enjoy the threadiverse! Just remember that this is an anarchist-run server, so ensure that your members take heed of our code of conduct.
The problem is, if you were to do this, it would defacto makes us a piracy indexer, as the names of the releases the the relevant link to get them would be on our website. This could cause the copyright cartel to go after us and we can’t defend against that. If you could arrange to have the index externally (for example, on a rentry.co entry) and then when someone requests a link, you point them to that to ctrl+f, it could work.
You’re of course welcome here. It’s just a matter of how likely your practices is to lead to us being targeted, you know? If you’re going to share the occasional link encrypted between yourselves, it should be fine. But if you start posting whole directories of links, it might be a problem. However a hybrid option where you have a comm here for discussions and you use things like pastebins to host your link collection should work.
If you give me some idea of how you plan to utilize the comm, I can give some more practical pointers on how to ensure we’re not in danger.
The sporadic encrypted link would be OK, but nothing becoming standardized. If we become known as a link sharing site, we’ll get in trouble.
A link to what?
The solution is clearly to embrace the glorious mane and get long hair down to your butt and a proper viking beard! Embrace the epic!
I guess the easy solution here to to make it use oauth2 authentication. Then you can just authenticate using one account elsewhere. If fediverse services also at some point become oauth2 providers, then even better.

In fact, if you sort like this by default, you basically get the old BBforum experience, with thread necromancy and everything.
Somedays I feel like a goddamn genius, and then somedays I feel like a goddamn scrub monkey. How can my MMR variate by 300, goddamn!
There’s no specific issue in my repo, as I don’t maintain any frontends. I just want someone to extend one of the existing frontends, (preferrably tesseract) so that it displays the user flair retrieved from the threativore api
Feel free to PM me if interested and I can guide you further.
If you can code, we can still use someone to help with some ui customization
They’re /c/piracy mods, not instance admins ;)
Comment for the ping
Most providers like hetzner and contabo already provide ddos protection. No everyone needs ddos protection anyway and the privacy issue its not certain with cloudflare either not would I argue that the costs are worth it.
Just host your own reverse proxy. It’s not hard
Sure that works, I just don’t see what benefit you have in using dbzer0 instead of a pastebin with this approach (or hell, just giving them the direct link in matrix)
