Why not? It's probably easier than ever now.
Pi Zero, Apache, Dynamic DNS, done.
And China is already in and browsing your porn

With Cloudflare Tunnels you don't even need a static IP.Tbh I've never really thought about it and rarely post images on here anyway (have mostly used imgbb, didn't realise about the bandwidth restrictions...)
I'm already paying for a static IP and have a NAS that I could run a container from, so probably not a big deal to set something up. (just domain/dns/vpn... and could probably use a free vpn)
Agreed, but this is also the problem of people blindly relying on public cloud based services. If the past two decades has thought us anything, it's that cloud hosted platforms can and have bitten the dust out of nowhere.Now explain how to do all this to the average non tech forum user who needed a detailed walkthrough on how to use Imgur after Photobucket went.
Great for the more tech DIY inclined on a forum like this one, a non starter basically everywhere else. Copy pasting BBcode from one website to another is about the technical limit of a lot of users.
It strange how it got worst.The world has got a lot more violent since the 90s.

As i can still remember in the early to mid 80's when i could just walk into a local shop and buy a set of throwing knifes, highend slingshots, air pistols etc when i was around the age of 13

Exactly, use nice free cache.And it won't leak your home IP address as users will only see a Cloudflare IP.
And you'll probably benefit from requests from users in other countries going through their closest Cloudflare PoP (Point of Presense) making it a bit faster for them.
I don't know what's going on, but i noticed this morning that all my images posted in the "Post Your Home Cine & HiFi Kit" thread are now visible.
I suspect that OCUK might have found a work round to make this possible @Feek ? I still get the "Content not available in your region." when i go direct to the lmgur site, so this must be something that OCUK has done or lmgur have changed the implementation of the block.
I believe a process was run to convert all existing Imgur-hosted images to attachments on the forum.I don't know what's going on, but i noticed this morning that all my images posted in the "Post Your Home Cine & HiFi Kit" thread are now visible.

It was totally Feek (or the elves working on his behalf while he took the credit, as usual)![]()
Is this an ongoing thing or just historic? Gotta be a but if a bump in bandwidth even for the historic option.Yup, it was this. All imgur hosted images were converted to attachments so we don't lose any history. We're looking to see if it can be done with signatures as well but they're handled differently so it may not be possible.
@kindai did all the work, pedalling extra fast![]()

Just a one off. Hopefully nobody will be posting imgur stuff from now on.Is this an ongoing thing or just historic?
