Hosting large datasets can be expensive but the hosting for the danbooru datasets was not. It's "only" a few terabytes in size. A previous release was 3.4TB, so the latest is probably some hundreds of GB, to a TB~, in size larger. The download was hosted on a hetzner IP, which is a provider known for cheap servers. You can pay them $50/m for a server with "unmetered" 1gigabit up/down network + 16TB of disks. $600 a year would not be difficult.

I think people tend to wildly overestimate how expensive hosting a large dataset has to be, because of cloud.

If you only need a few terabytes, you can rent from Hetzner for more like <$20/month. Maybe <$10 at this point, if you are patient. And you can use the server for other things too, since it's a fixed cost, like your website or encrypted backups or other files you host. I spent a while figuring this out before I decided to do Danbooru20xx, to make sure it was very cheap. Given how my website has grown in size, and how absurdly exorbitant cloud bandwidth and object/hard drive space is, the Danbooru dataset was practically free at the margin!

Some people are, some people aren't. I'm not. (I have intellectual sympathy with EA, but not emotional.)

$600 a year is a lot of money..

Cloudflare does allow R2 (& some other "Developer Platform" services) for non-HTML content. They made some TOS changes in the past to be more explicit about it.

And DMCA takedowns to the webserver's hosting provider

Windows had an ICMP CVE last year and also just released a patch for an IPv6 CVE. OpenSSH on Linux had a CVE recently too. Security in depth is reasonable and not baseless.

I've got to agree with you on this

You can issue syscalls directly on Windows too but updates often change the syscall numbers so you never see them used legitimate software.

Probably about the protocol being more complex with less implementations or the forced encryption which means acquiring certificates for TLS. Spoofed IPs for DDoS is a bit more troublesome for UDP protocols, though smaller players will get smacked down by any DDoS anyway. I hope to see more applications and games wrap their traffic in QUIC/HTTP3 to "defeat" firewall filtering.

There is actually a blue/green language quirk in Japanese and they even have blue traffic lights because of this

They did deny involvement so it'll be interesting to see what happens (you probably know this though) https://torrentfreak.com/key-defendant-in-annas-archive-laws...

>It’s weird, because it feels like important work, rather than criminal — someone should put into words exactly what the distinction is.

Important work can be criminal

> Important work can be criminal

Yeah, illegal/criminal merely means that it's against the law and will be prosecuted if it can be pinned to you.

As an outlandishly severe example: helping Jews in Nazi Germany was criminal.
