2025: The cycle never ends

Comments

When can the other arcs like dressrosa marine ford, be dubbed on the website

Yes, servers are looking better now. I think we'll make it to the end of the year without adding more capacity. Finances are looking better too.

Fornax

For real thank you for the awesome work. Has making any of the changes to when files expire made any difference to the server space? Or any of the changes you said you were going to make.

Groot Sanchez

Thank you for all that amazing work, as for me being in the UK and having to deal with the other end (giving my passport details and a photo of me!!! WTF!!) I will understand if you tell UK users to go away as its far too much garbage to deal with. I didn't vote for that stupid shit but the people in charge think it will fix all the problems that the internet has, but all it will do is nothing. Until then I will keep paying.

The services will exist separately. I might be able to add a feature to transfer prepaid funds, but transferring subscriptions will not be possible.

Fornax

i love file system

Thank you for the hard work, but i have a question, people with patreon subscriptions will remain in pixeldrain, will be migrated or we will have the option to migrate? I exclusively use the filesystem so I'm interested in how the services will coexist.

You should talk to Josh from Kiwifarms, no one on the planet has been through the ringer more with payment processors/hosts/etc. than him he could give you some advice. He also has to deal with the UK's bullshit demands

i’ve just upgraded my tier here to start moving away from using MEGA. Pixeldrain’s UI is better than MEGA imo and the overall service is more convenient. thanks for the great service!

I feel like all payment gateways are like that. I will try to not put my full trust onto one platform at a time. This is tough with subscriptions. Often it's not possible to move subscriptions from one platform to another, so if a subscription provider kicks me out I still lose a lot of monthly income. For this reason pixeldrain currently only supports prepaid deposits outside of patreon.

Fornax

I will not stop running pixeldrain, but my focus will shift toward FNX. This means pixeldrain will receive less updates. Probably limited to bug fixes and server maintenance.

Please, be slower in communication with other parties, record all your conversations with consent and you will need to have legal representation since your project is growing. Do not be naive, strict yourself to legal communication via emails as much as possible. In case of CSAM materials check this (https://www.thorn.org/blog/how-thorns-csam-classifier-uses-artificial-intelligence-to-build-a-safer-internet/). Also you can run on Runpod.ai anything you want with powerful GPUs. Maximize push on free users, this is unique service and you are not charity.

Just be carful with Paypal, that's a slippery slope they offer. Starts out great, but then they whittle away at what is ok and not ok.

Joseph

Will pixeldrain be decommisioned as part of FNX launch? The reason I Support this patreon is because people use pixeldrain to share with non-paid members, without that it will lose a lot of value.

Federico

Ahhh, good old “risk assessment reports”. Management loves them, but no one agrees on the content nor the layout. Basically a list of potential failures, how likely they are to occur and how severe the results would be. Then what you have done to mitigate the risks and/or what you plan to do to mitigate 🥳

Kometkamerat

Well, Mollie is off the table, they made it very clear they want nothing to do with me. I might look into integrating with Stripe

Fornax

I encourage whatever you do, but please promise me that you will not make paypal the only avenue of payment, as I refuse to use them. Otherwise exciting times for 2026!

Evo

you're the only reason I have a patron account in the first place, thank you so much for your hard work!

Hello Fornax. Thank you for this very detailed post and for the complete transparency of the figures, which allows us to better understand and appreciate the full value of all the work you do for Pixeldrain and, by extension, for us, its users. I would like to thank you for all your efforts because, for me, Pixeldrain is the best in its field. It goes without saying that I will continue to financially support Pixeldrain for as long as it exists, and your future project FNX.storage if it were to replace Pixeldrain. On a side note, I agree with you that the free internet is dying because of the censorship that is increasingly being imposed everywhere. To conclude, I wish you good luck in your work and a successful year.

Legendary, thanks a ton for everything you do

agentjongon

The alternative is not doing business in the UK at all. I do have quite a few paying customers in the UK, and blocking them would affect my income. For now the demands are kinda reasonable, and I can probably get it done. But if they start demanding more I might still resort to blocking the UK. I might also still want to visit the UK in the future, without being apprehended at the border control.

Fornax

Ignorant question but why do you even have to comply with British Telecom Laws? Can't you just tell them to get bent?

LastPlayer

Jesus fucking christ what j just read. You're absolute goat. I remember posting on discord that hotlinking must be restricted, thankfully you did that. But men ... 90% of users are free? Honestly? Shut that down as cost increase has nothing to do with fun. I cannot wait for FNX.storage. Paid only at reasonable price. I hope there will be option to transfer between pixeldrain and fnx. As for UK? I think you can safely follow others. Say no to facism and block UK from accessing services. It is what it is ... never negotiate with government run by dictators.

Aeit

I can probably set up some migration tool. It's on the todo list. FNX.storage will also have support for rclone from the start, so I could probably use that. FNX will be completely separate from pixeldrain though, so the files will really have to be copied from one server cluster to another. That will take some time depending on how much data you have.

Fornax

Good luck with your work, and have a successful year. I have a question about the new product! Will the transition be easy? Do we need to upload the files again?

Ahmad Agbaria

I look forward to FNX.storage! I hope it brings much less stress and much more joy. I'll sign up IMMEDIATELY👊 Side note: yeah, as you say the world is becoming more fascist and the internet less & less free.
