Good for them. I think I got old because I don’t entirely understand why someone would put themselves through hosting and policing an open file storage system in 2024.

Yeah, like asking for trouble. Even when building a basic image upload system in my project I was considering using some AI model to make sure content is at least somewhat moderated.

But they have just that, from https://github.com/mia-0/0x0

  0x0 supports classification of NSFW content via Yahoo’s open_nsfw Caffe neural network model. This works for images and video files

For the sake of it. I find it just cool

Aww, I was expecting something like /dev/null-AAS - https://devnull-as-a-service.com/

This is ART.

(robot voice) Does it support sharding? Sharding is the secret ingredient in the web scale sauce.

I have a special caching system the enables networked /dev/null AAS to reduce it's network overhead considerably.

I used to use this frequently, but unfortunately at some point my /8 IP range was blocked from uploading files. Most likely because bot traffic outweighs legitimate traffic, since I live in a third-world non-english-speaking country.

I am sure you can contact the owner about this. Contact info is on the page.

Similar to https://termbin.com which runs https://github.com/solusipse/fiche.

The null pointer is especially is popular for filesharing on IRC.

we have been using wgetpaste, that supports this 0x0 service (among others), as a support tool, so people can paste their debug logs and stuff to chat.

you can also use curl directly:

curl -F'file=@example.mp3' https://0x0.st

Some time ago I made a client for it https://github.com/overflowy/null-pointer-uploader
