I never considered the question, sharing the (rare) pictures I post using the Upload Image button.
A few years ago I used this: https://postimages.org/
It worked well but I have no idea how trustworthy it is?
Hello,
Thank you for posting this, another person mentioned them as well: https://jlai.lu/post/14514460/12047196
They don't have a browser extension, but I guess that could be a good solution still
I was using postimages for a year or better but they've been having some issues (with their CDN based on the symptoms). I've been using local uploads for a couple months as a result.
Damn, that's sad, I just tried them now, they're cool. Are the CDN issues still present?
Thx for the info. I have not used them in maybe 2 years so I could not tell. They worked rel well back then.
Edit: judging by the other comments, it looks like they fixed it ;)
I stopped using them a couple months ago, so its fairly likely they're fixed by now.
The issue I was running into was that images I'd upload would take long enough for the first fetch that the browser would time out. Subsequent fetches by people in the same geographic area were fast, but folks far away would encounter that first super slow load. So if you're not seeing that initial delay you're probably good to go.
Then it seems like they fixed it, thanks!
