I just tried to upload an image (using FireFox 45.8.0) and:

1. Click-> Select file -> Open does nothing

2. Dragging and Dropping a file throws a popup saying: 'There's no WebGL context available.' and the byte counts show (top right) but then, nothing else.

HTH

The very thought makes me shudder.

Try: https://flippa.com/

Also, you can look up something called GoDaddy Marketplace/After Market or something.

Also, you could try (bulk) updating the whois info of all domains with text like: This Domain is for Sale

One of the comments on the article:

> I thought a redirect would be the same as malware and as such illegal?

Any thoughts on this?

Well, I live in India. :-)

> learning and building.

This. And also, continuing to earn and giving it away to the needy.

> The best-case scenario is a system that consumes 20 megawatts...

I guess they will think of throwing in a windmill farm (or something) to power the beast.

Heart goes out to those who suffered downtime and/or data loss and to the company CEO.

1. It is a free service that no one is forcing anybody to use.

2. I still haven't got around to writing/finishing up anything other than the core functionality of the service.

3. The reason I posted here is primarily to get feedback on the core functionality.

4. When I do get around to creating the TOS and Privacy Policy etc., what it will essentially state is that a) no human will look at the images and b) all images will be (automatically) deleted within 24 hours from the time they were uploaded/processed. While it is not hard to write this down, it is not high up on my list of priorities at this point in time.

Thanks for your feedback all the same.

> Also: where's your privacy statement?

Looks like you failed to notice above - this, Sir, is in alpha as of now.

I remember first using your service almost a decade ago and then, drifted over to DO over the last few years.

Good to know you folks are going strong - all the best.

As I mentioned in another thread about a week ago, I have recently been commissioned to create a (simple, stupid) CMS.

One of the features I wanted to incorporate into the CMS is image compression. After a good bit of code hacking and testing, I believe I have got something good going there. That inspired me to create an independent web app/service offering this (image compression) to users at large. My employers have given me the go ahead to do this.

Long story short, here is the alpha (link in title).

(Hopefully, I'll have a much more polished design/UI ready over the weekend.)

For now, please test it at will and give me your feedback/suggestions.

(The thread title can be made into an acronym YAICS; not intended :-))

One point that caught my eye is:

"Linux enthusiasts perpetually claim that this year is the year that Linux will finally make headway into the desktop for the everyday user — but it never has and never will."

I guess the author has a (much coveted) crystal ball.

I second that. While I can't realistically say I prefer it over Photoshop since I've never used the later, I can certainly state that GIMP meets ALL my graphics editing requirements (which are not many, but that's besides the point).

Try this - might work, and all the best:

No questions (at least for now) but Zerif Lite has been my personal favorite. Have used it for several client sites. Thanks for the theme and all the best.

SONY AIBO.

'In 2006, AIBO was added into the Carnegie Mellon University Robot Hall of Fame with the description "the Sony AIBO represents the most sophisticated product ever offered in the consumer robot marketplace."'

Yes, but I thought the holding pattern would commence once the flight is directly over - or close to - the airport.?

Looks good, thanks. Will check it out.

> WordPress is far from simple.

This.

> anything more than a low traffic site requires pretty beefy hosting.

My experience indicates otherwise. A case in point: one of the WordPress sites I manage averages ~80k page views/day, peaking to well over 125k/day during peak periods twice a year, and I keep it chugging along happily on a $20/mo Digital Ocean droplet.

This. I tried the exact same thing for a family network a couple of years ago (but the network did not hate Facebook intensely, so it was a bit of an uphill battle). Before I could get them all fully on board, I got sucked into some large gigs so no business resulted in the end. I still hope to revive it some day.
