  • Probably should have given all of the evidence to the police instead of deleting some of it.

    In most western jurisdictions platform operators are not liable for user content, (as long as they cooperate with the authorities) so nothing for you to worry about.

    Next time, don’t do anything, no deleting, no blocking, contact the police and ask them what they would like you to do. Maybe they’d even would want to letting them keep posting for a while to gather more data on the offenders, but idk how they deal with selfhosted stuff tbh…

    (this is not legal advice)

    (Also I totally understand that you don’t want your other users seing that kind of stuff. I know nothing about the matrix moderation tools, so maybe the media is on the server db somewhere … might be relevant to figure that out)


    Edit: this does not apply if you live in an authoritarian police state or third world country, like OP apparently does.












  • You can get 4 cores, 6gb ram, 200gb ssd for 6$ per month from contabo.

    Lets normalize the price for comparison.

    6/3 = 2

    So for the same normalized price you get:

    • 4/3 = 1.333 cores
    • 6/3 = 2GB RAM
    • 200/3 = 66GB SSD storage

    Thats a bit more CPU, four times the RAM and six times the storage!!!

    I highly doubt that the “near bare metal” performance of that one core is better than just having 30% more virtualized cores.

    And the math gets even worse if you compare the other tiers.

    The only good tradeoff for this offer is the unlimited traffic IF and only if you actually would hit the comtabo limits (32TB outbound + unlimited incoming) and there is probably some math where you can calculate when it starts to be worth the money vs. getting a second contabo vps.
