(Quote) URL shorteners such as https://github.com/thedevs-network/kutt (mentioned earlier in this discussion) are intended to scale well -- they're not meant to be used solely as personal URL shorteners.
-
(Quote) I had nearly replied to him, but then I concluded that he was being facetious. In any case, there's little point in reacting directly to what Virtono wrote if they're not here. (This is intended for @Freek .)

(Quote) [The stack in question is Node.js, PostgreSQL and Redis] I didn't mean to convey that the requirements were so unrealistic, depending on one's setup, of course. On the server in question, MySQL is installed, so for me to install PostgreSQL …

(Quote) I glanced at this software, but it hasn't been updated since May 2017, and so I wasn't sure whether it was an abandoned project or just super stable. (Quote) Frankly, I'm not sure what this project is, which was uploaded only yesterday.
-
(Quote) Assuming that you're addressing me, I was rather looking for a free-software solution that I could install myself. This said, your product looks nice (but may be overkill for my needs).
-
(Quote) Right, that's the forever-problem, which is basically unsolvable. :) To tell the truth, I'm still a bit on the fence with respect to URL shorteners: for me, it's not so much a question of how to solve the forever-problem (which I can't solv…
-
(Quote) Okay, I see: you're asking about how one would make the service less attractive to spammers. This is a good question, and I haven't yet thought much about it, but in my particular use case (for a small group of users on a server that I mana…

(Quote) netcup are a very no-nonsense German company mostly aimed at the German market, and secondarily, at the non-German EU market. I've had (and still have) nothing but positive experiences with their vServers and Root-Servers, but -- yes -- it's…
-
(Quote) Just to clarify: their Root Servers have CPU pass-through for the most part, but hardware virtualization is not passed through (so no vmx) without an additional fee.
-
(Quote) Sorry -- which comment are you referring to?
-
(Quote) That's a clever solution that makes good (and unexpected) use of a GitHub account. If I may say so, the author appears to be mainly addressing an audience that would prefer not to pay for a domain or for a hosting service, and accordingly, h…

(Quote) Intriguing. I don't think that I was really familiar with the notion "branded link" before. =)
-
(Quote) This looks nice and may be more of an "enterprise solution" than YOURLS is, but It may be overkill for my needs on this server. Also, I noticed: (Quote) :o
-
(Quote) You're right that this would be a good use for cheap shared hosting. (I have shared hosting with @SmallWeb that I play around with.) At the moment, the server in question (a VPS) is already up and running, and I'd like to use the server's d…
-
(Quote) Yes, on this particular server, it would be offered as a private service, so I would need to protect it sufficiently. If I tried to offer a public service, it would be on another server. :)
-
Although I understand the attraction of "free", a modest but reliable web hosting service really doesn't cost much these days, so I personally would prefer to pay something for peace of mind and accountability of the provider rather than t…

(Quote) I feel that @georgedatacenter should have quadrupled the price of the first offer ($3 --> $12) and also quadrupled the amount of stock (1 --> 4 or 2 --> 8 or 3 --> 12 or ...?). :)
-
Nextcloud is in a different comparison class than FileGator, so there wouldn't be much point in directly comparing the two. Clearly, if all that you want/need is a web-based file manager, then Nextcloud would be overkill, but the question (which I a…
-
Although FileGator looks shiny and nice, I wonder what its main use case is. After all, we have ftp. Also, since version 7 is "completely rewritten from scratch" and dates from only last year, I'd be a bit cautious before installing it on…
-
(Quote) You may need to wait a while still. I suspect that that was a once-in-a-lifetime offer.
-
(Quote) Fair enough (by the time that I saw that offer, it was gone!). We'll see what @georgedatacenter says.
-
(Quote) For $25/year, I can't really imagine that it would be a dedicated thread. I think that he simply forgot to write "fair share" next to it.
