You can actually run it in async model without pictrs safety and just have it scan your newly uploaded images directly from storage. It just doesn’t prevent upload this way, just deletes them.

You don’t get public traffic redirected. It’s not how it works

It stops doing checks. Iirc you can configure it yes

https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety and the companion app https://github.com/db0/pictrs-safety which can be installed as part of your lemmy deployment in the docker-compose (or with a var in your ansible)

Not all web traffic, just the images to check. With any decent bandwidth, it shouldn’t be an issue for most. It also setup in such a way as to not cause a downtime if the checker goes down.

The software is setup in such a way that you can run it on your pc if you have a local gpu. It only needs like 2 gb vram

Ye, generally I would only use njalla for discardable services and domains.

Wait, if they suspended your domain, can you even transfer it away? if not, that’s really fucking scary.

I don’t have good interaction with them either, but nothing as bad. I used one of their VPS to hold the reverse proxy for my lemmy instance like a year ago. Randomly it went down and the support was non-existent. Eventually it came back on its own after some days but I had already moved everything away from them
