Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy - Lemmy NZ

>Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults. > >The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

How hard is this type of service, as a self hosted docker app, to develop?

Wouldn’t most of the underlying codec and streaming technologies be more or less extendable into a platform?

These guys have been at it for several years now. Check out their GitHub, look at the components.

I’m trying to modify their dockerfile a bit so it runs in my container manager and uses my reverse proxy, instead of the one they included, and it creates more containers for this one application than I have for all my other projects combined.

All of which is to say: “pretty hard” is the answer. It is pretty damn hard to build this stuff.

I got the self hosted version up and it looks like it’s a much older version than their current iteration which was a kick in the teeth. Nothing discouraging quite like “Well you can self host if you don’t mind a worse version of the product”. Like my dudes I’m trying to take some pressure off of your server…

Yeah, no voice chat is a bummer. I haven’t tried, but my first instinct was, that’s a VM right there.

Can you link the repo you used, to sate my curiosity?
