🇺🇦 Anna FilinaI thought I could finally enjoy a weekend, but the way phpc.tv uses @cloudflare is apparently against their ToS. So now I have to find out how to keep things running while remaining compliant, on a budget, on top of their having refused to raise the upload limit, which I also need to fix somehow. I guess this is why communities keep getting stuck with YouTube, Facebook and the likes. Unless you run everything out of your basement, there will always be someone threatening to pull the plug.
My appeal to @cloudflare fell on deaf ears, despite my mentioning that it's a community project out of a volunteer's pocket. I'm not even asking for free services here, but just a bit of flexibility. I'm so tired and I need to finish preparing a full-day workshop. It makes me want to cry.
Sarah Savage@afilina try talking with Fastly. They’re more flexible.
@sarah Well I was also using CF for their R2 storage, and I spent days configuring everything to finally work well together.
Ture Gjørup@afilina @sarah I have also heard better things about fastly. But I have no personal experience to back it up. They do offer https://www.fastly.com/products/storage with no zero egress fees so there might be something to work with. I love the idea of phpc.tv and think the work you’re doing is amazing. Would you be open to sponsorship or to others helping out so you don’t shoulder costs and frustrations alone?
@turegjorup Thanks, there's something currently in the works with regards to sponsorships, and I'm just waiting for the ok on that (but don't know when that will be). @sarah
@turegjorup The reason I chose CF was because they had no egress fees (and they seemed to care about this community). But they said that I can't stream videos from it *if* I use the proxy, but also they don't allow R2 in prod *without* the proxy. So they accused me of ToS breach, gave me a catch 22 and stopped responding. Now I just hope I can find an alternative before they do something stupid (I'm also backing everything up because I have zero trust in their backup I pay for). @sarah
