Comment on [Project] 0807 - a self-hosted ephemeral file host with no accounts and a Tor onion service

Is the name of the service a reference to anything?
What happens if you run out of space because of too many uploads that are set to never expire?
(Also it’s neat! Thanks!)

Hi yes, the name is a reference to the webtoon (08/07). It’s a horror anthology. www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/0807/list?title_no=848…
And as for storage files set to never expire do stick around so the honest answer is that I keep an eye on it rather than letting it run wild.
There’s a configurable storage cap, and once it’s reached the server refuses new uploads instead of silently dropping or overwriting anything that’s already stored. There’s also an optional cleanup for files that haven’t been touched in a long time, which I can switch on if space ever gets tight.
With 16 TB there’s a lot of runway, and since I run the server myself I can add disk or prune manually if it ever comes to that. Nothing auto-deletes a “never expire” file out from under you.

Do you mitigate potential abuse where someone deliberately tries to upload as much as they can as fast as possible?
