This is what I do too. If i need to use or test something i don't trust then I use an old phone. All of the phones use crDroid(1) and I have scripts to quickly wipe and reinstall the OS whenever I need a full nuke.

I used this a while back while running a waybackmachine style site for a large social media platform. I wanted to keep it simple with sqlite but when it got popular it started to become a problem. Marmot was the only thing that I was able to get to work with the amount of data I was pulling in. It would sync the master db from the main archiver server to all the ha servers so the user would be able to access it immediately no matter what ha server they got. The dev team was nice to talk to when I had some issues in setting it up.

It was definitively a weird backend setup I had made but it just worked once set up so I didnt have to touch any of the frontend code.


The URL scanner doesnt directly scan the file. It checks the URL against other web firewalls and returns stuff like the headers, chain, the sha256 hash of the body (which links to the actual file analysis https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/9525d0fe32cebf7933bf84dcf...)

You can see and compare the different vendors of each. File analysis goes to all the antivirus' and does the sandbox stuff and the URL analysis goes to things like Google Safebrowsing, phishing check services, etc

tldr different systems for URL analysis (web firewall check) & file analysis (antivirus/sandbox check)


Thx, seems we posted at the same time. AI confirms what you say.

> Part of it is the change Spotify made to not paying for streams under 1,000 plays. When we first got our January sales report, it was down nearly 70%. Yes, seven-zero %. And February’s figures confirmed it wasn’t a fluke.

> The other part is also based on Spotify. The new fining system is beyond outrageous. We are getting fined for users who had 9 out 10 fake streams according to Spotify. They don’t give us any more details than song, number of total plays and number of fake plays. If that ratio exceeds 90%, they issue a 10 euro fine each month.

> For us and our catalog of over 40k songs ... The THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in fines each month was the final nail in the coffin though


Yea not sure why they didn't go straight to selfhosting a Gitea instance on some offshore VPS.

If any Suyu devs are reading check out https://kycnot.me/

I've personally used these hosts to provide data to the public that was subject to constant takedowns

  - UDN (Used before the invasion) which is based in Ukraine. Good way to support them I suppose.
  - BuyVM in Luxembourg
  - Incognet in NL (Probably reach out to them first to see if it's OK)
  - PQ.hosting in Russia


Using the 'share/copy link' button has been pointing to x.com since they did the whole x.com change but afaik going to x.com will redirect to twitter.com. No clue what they're on about using one domain but redirecting to the other.
