Surly Storage - How Do it Do?

[immamac 42832]

Surly Storage is a feature available for TreeFiddy subscribers and members.

I wanted to start this thread to answer questions on how it works and collect feedback on the initial rollout of it and what we can possibly improve about it. Currently we are looking to allocate ~5TB of storage (5000GB), so that our users can store images, gifs, videos, documents, anything that is legal and not copywritten (This exposes our site to liability so I am going to err on the side of caution - if I receive takedown requests your files will be deleted.)

This storage will be redundant, however it is not "enterprise" grade, there will be offsite backups and multiple copies but don't put the only copy of your family photos on it - that's what Dropbox and Google Drive are for!

So you're partnering with the FBI?

[Hank Scorpio 17729]

This is a great idea. I've got tons of, um, let's say sensitive files that I really would prefer to not have on my computer so now I can just store them on Surly.

Where’s the grandma porn?

That doesnt frighten you a little about what some people may upload?  How can you possibly police that?

self policing is pretty good - also as long as we take it down as soon as it's reported we can avoid sticky situations. If we are fighting each takedown request that's when we get into hot water.

Also, people are paying for the community - I'm not sure sabotaging the community they help fund is what they are wanting to do.

Can you take other member's storage space if they don't want it? Asking for rage. 

[millhouse 2603]

But we still use the old site for scat storage right?

Love the idea, but what if we had another headcase likeTXTow?

That is EXACTLY who I was thinking of.  I know he is in jail, but if somebody threw up some child porn, knowingly or not knowingly,  I would think some questions from the FBI would be asked.

Will the image storage scrub metadata, e.g. GPS. 

[Randolph Duke 4034]

Can others access our storage? I got lotsa stuff. 

[SuckitKevin 920]

I’m still unable to join because my credit card isn’t accepted, same problem I had months ago. If there was a fix for this that I missed let me know.

Is scat porn copywritted? Asking for the old shag.

+1

I've needed a safe place to store my logins/passwords and SSN.  This sounds like just the place.

In your wallet.

IPiyb is about to become way more popular.    

[burntorangebongos 10710]

I don't understand this at all but yayy, I guess.

[EE2B 1565]

I’ve got a quote for 2 85TB Nimble sans I can forward over to you if you are ready for an upgrade.

[immamac 42832]

That's too much for us - I will say we are way over-provisioning at the moment and starting at 5T - There's a lot more getting racked that we can "grow" into.

Oh sticky situations are going to happen. Enjoy the grandma porn

I'm wanting to take the back seat out of a minivan but need a place to keep the seat. Any volunteers to help me upload this thing to Surly Storage? It probably weighs about 60 lbs. Will this be humidity and temperature controlled storage?

[RPM 26315]

Guess I'll be the first... how does it work?

[RamjetFDO 10575]

[SDG 3319]

Are we live yet?  

If so, explain it slowly for us special ed not top 10% types.

You blew up your fingers messing with firecrackers, didn't you? 

[immamac 42832]

gallery is live top right menu item - you can create your own albums and put permissions on them - I'm trying to see about making it easier to just upload in a post.

[immamac 42832]

[Jerry Callo 8694]

Great, now I want to go to Chris Madrid's.

Testing, 1, 2, 3 . . . 

 

[immamac 42832]

Should we open up the image upload to all members and leave the gallery and download sections for subscribers only?

Pay-to-play.

Shit. That sounds like a challenge.

Necro bump. 

I don’t think people realize that they get 100GB of storage with their treefiddy sub. The storage allocation is much larger than 5TB now.
