@matigo Oh. How do I change a file's accessibility? I guess I've never uploaded a file. Can I do it without posting?
@matigo Oh yeah. I don't like cloudflare. But you don't do any private files, right? A file uploaded is a publicly accessible file?
@matigo I haven't found them to have decent speeds, and functionality is quite limited. Takes me 2 seconds to download a 1.4MB image and they don't cache, where S3 takes <500ms first time, and intelligently cached after that.
But for backups, as is their specialty, it doesn't matter.
@kdfrawg sorry. When I said it seemed so outlandish to me, I meant I was matching that outlandishness with outlandish suggestions.
My impression has been that most people torrent illegally, and many don't have an issue with it. I didn't think you would take it as an offense literally or hyperbolically.
@larand I'm neither saying anything about distributed systems being unable to do that -- but mastodon has issues with it.
@larand You can't realistically prevent something online from being copied. But you can control the canonical source, and I think that's important.
