I thought I could finally enjoy a weekend, but the way phpc.tv uses @cloudflare is apparently against their ToS.

@thepanz @stefano I just want an affordable place to put a few terabytes of PeerTube videos and not wake up to surprise fees due to egress, or worse, having the whole thing deleted because some combination in my setup led me to accidentally breach a buried ToS clause. I swear this used to be easier 15 years ago.

I thought I could finally enjoy a weekend, but the way phpc.tv uses @cloudflare is apparently against their ToS. So now I have to find out how to keep things running while remaining compliant, on a budget, on top of their having refused to raise the upload limit, which I also need to fix somehow. I guess this is why communities keep getting stuck with YouTube, Facebook and the likes. Unless you run everything out of your basement, there will always be someone threatening to pull the plug.
@afilina @cloudflare well, your basement does not scale. longterm we need some torrent based sollution for projects like this, to get rid of plugs. thanks for your work on this : ]

@thepanz @afilina Thank you for the kind words!
I'd personally use a (cheap) dedicated server for storage. No egress costs, no ingress costs and nobody telling you "you're holding it wrong".
Personally, I'm using cheap dedicated servers from OVH or Hetzner (Europe). OVH has some cheap servers and they, from time to time, offer them with huge discounts. Like the dedicated I'm using for the BSD Cafe and illumos Cafe media (and many other): 4x4Tb spinning drives, 64GB ram and 16 euros per month, if I'm not wrong. I've had this since 2021 and it rocks.Hetzner has the auctions, but is a little "strict" with new user accounts.
But yes, I agree. While I haven't had big problems with Cloudflare (but I don't use them that much, except for some things), the only way to be sure to serve is have your own data on your own devices. Unfortunately, I must say.
soon too
