PictShare VS Dropcenter

PictShare

• AI beats human sleuth at finding problematic images in research papers
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Oct 2023

  I guess they had a system that required humans to confirm the validity or so.

  I had a similar problem when I realized someone put up CSAM (Children sexual abuse material) on my public demo of my CDN called PictShare [1].

  I didn't want to look through all of these images so I built a Raspberry Pi with a Neural compute stick [2] that used an AI model trained by yahoo to filter out "nudity" images and I put them in an encrypted ZIP file along with the access logs and sent them to Interpol.

  This lead to the arrest of a teacher here in Austria so I'm glad I could do my part.

  This even lead to a BBC article about my system [3]

• Lightweight image-gallery to share reaction images & gifs
  3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 17 Mar 2023

  If all you need is to just host pics and videos for reaction images, not albums or other metadata, Pictshare should do the hosting part well, and something like Syncthing could be used to copy files from/to the sharing directory. It's one of the solutions i considered to migrate away from using Imgur for this, but veered away from it since i do use albums with metadata too, for your case it wouldn't matter

• Imagor 0.8.5: fast image processing server - now with animated GIF resize, crop, watermark and more
  3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 30 Jan 2022

  Reminds me a lot of pictshare

• Fast, Docker-ready image processing server written in Go and libvips, with Thumbor URL syntax
  3 projects | /r/docker | 12 Dec 2021

  Interesting approach! I also made a project many years ago (still maintained though) that does something like that (also on docker hub). Basically it's a simple self-hosted image hoster where you can upload videos and images and you can resize them on the fly by changing the URL.

• After Imgur got acquired, looking again for a self-hosted replacement

  Image hosting. Not "Photo Gallery", not "Photography Showcase". Hosting pics to use all over the net. On Imgur i upload an image, a gif or even a short mp4 with sound, it will happily accept it, then give me the ability to quickly link directly to the image (not to the "Page of the Image", but to the direct image, gif or video itself). I can easily upload something and have it ready to be used anywhere, like here. Most image hosting solutions are poorly optimized for this as they're solving a different problem (replacing Flicker/Google Photos/Instagram/etc.). The one I've found that's by far the closest to fulfill this requirement is Pictshare, which is pretty much built for this, but lacks the second big requirement:

• X0.at: upload files from cURL (free)

  Can confirm. I had a public demo of my open source image hosting solution [1] (where you can resize images and videos by just entering a different URL) up for years without problems, until idiots started uploading CSAM (Children sexual abuse material).

  Luckily I found out before law enforcement did [2] so I proactively talked to my federal bureau for months generating Excel sheets of IPs and access times and devices and countries. I didn't see many of the images myself, basically just looked at one upload per IP which was like three in total and forwarded all uploads of that IP to the police but man.. what the hell is wrong with people. 4 digit number of uploads of CSAM.
