It’s an open source tool that you can use in whatever way you want. The dashbort is hosted on a cloud linux server. But the upstream application developers run a large company worth 10s of millions of dollars. They setup discourse forums for large and small businesses, and do custom enterprise integrations

Our discourse instance is ran independently and is not affiliated with the company in any way.

You can learn more about the tool here

Thanks for the response and thorough explanation homie. When I hit the button to add a pic it gives the option ā€œtake picture or videoā€ so I always wondered what the deal was when it ultimately wouldn’t take the video file. Hope alls well at home, missing those mountains right now :heart:

@stringz your knowledge of Linux and web stuff is getting me all hot and bothered

Yeah its not impossible, but it would require doing some shenanigans in order to have all user uploaded files served from somewhere else than the server.

One day it will happen, when the server gets near running out of space. It has been on the todo list for a while, but the janitor is a busy man when it comes to computers shitting on the floor.

@stringz wasn’t the Patreon covering the sever fees at one point, curious if my $1 a month (alongside everyone else) is still enough to pay for all our shitposts considering inflation and all that. Maybe this is a question for root but I don’t want to bother them.

Yeah bills are like $10-15 less on average per month than patreon income right now.

Actually I think we migrate the bort to AWS and then some architecture work we can bring that price down, and then we could store videos. But thats not trivial and havent gotten around to making the time for it.

That said, in 6 months or so it will have to happen. Doubling the server side with the current provider would be $140 a month, which is $50ish more than the patreon brings in.

I just up to YT and post the link

Definitely a non-starter, we don’t need video integration, especially if it’ll bankrupt bort and benefit bezos…and you gotta trust me because that’s a quad alliteration.

I agree

Does adding any links to outside sites cause storage issues? I’ve toyed with mass sharing a load of Nugs playlists for UM purposes but won’t if it jams things up.
