Thanks for the kind words! Right now, truly the best thing you can do is just watch my stuff, and if you really like it consider sharing with your friends. I'm thinking about other ways people can support my channel but I want to be really careful about monetizing and not do it too quickly/aggressively. Probably I'll do something like a Patreon at some point in the future, but before that I want to build more of a track record of making good content on a reasonable timescale, so people know exactly what they're supporting (and it won't all be Discord-related stuff!)

This change is great in general and I agree that it's necessary for the long term viability of discord, but sundowning old links is something that should not be excused. Lots of people have critical material that they uploaded on discord, not even to abuse the CDN in a massive way, but thing like discord channel guides with images that are posted onto other sites like reddit/etc. Lots of comment solutions link to image guides from discord servers from support communities, etc. Now that people know that discord won't allow access of the CDN outside of discord, it's ok to disable that stuff after X amount of time, but it's never ok to dig a massive chasm into the internet with dead links. There are just too many photobucket, gfycat, and tinypic links that are totally dead. I've run across "Here's the solution!" and it's a dead img link too much in my years.

So I would just need some kind of link shortener or something that could dynamically change the forwarding address? sounds like a change that will be bypassed very quickly and people will still be able to send malware hosted on discord.
@dgwdgw
@dgwdgw 7 ай бұрын
As long as it uses a non-permanent response code, a URL shortener automatically kept up to date by a Discord bot would still allow using Discord's CDN to host the malware. It eliminates potentially bypassing spam filters by using what looks like a trustworthy domain, though.

I often spam a friend's Discord DMs for free image hosting to link when I post on forums. I'm guessing those forums have the image cached and won't flush those caches anytime soon (given how often free image hosts delete content) and there wasn't anything too important I posted anyway but I guess those old screenshot links are gonna die soon.

​@@tom-sn4gd Right now CDN content isn't deleted, even if the message where the attachment was uploaded is deleted. This feels kind of bad because if you delete your message you'd expect the stuff contained in it to disappear as well. I'm thinking that maybe Discord will change this behavior - once a message is deleted and the attachment link rotates, there will be truly no way for anyone to get the new link, so no one can access it and it will be known safe to delete. My guess is they probably will start deleting unreachable attachments to free up space.

I remember like two years ago when we were trying to log attachment when a message was deleted on a server with a custom bot, and we noticed that the file itself was deleted, and only the low resolution renders (which are displayed before cliking to open the original image) were still there. They would eventually disapear when the CDN cache would free the space. Didn't know that was not the case anymore

​@@lemondoo711As a solution you could create a new account after the previous account is storing some amount of data. Maybe you could even automate this process. If they record every account's creator IP address they will be able to see how many accounts a certain IP address has created which could become a problem. To get around that, you could try changing the IP address of the computer before every account creation. This is getting crazy.
