That's mostly it. 100% @ekzyis

There's a little button for adding images (probably too little) and you can also add images by dragging them to the textarea.

There's a lot of great stuff I'm actively reviewing but I know how badly you've all been waiting for this so I decided to just push it.

Someone has to ask: How secure is it to directly upload from your device? I have no idea. I am not insinuating anything.

286 sats \ 9 replies \ @k00b OP 7 Nov 2023

What would be insecure about it? Us reading all your images or something?

Browsers don't allow us to do that.

Or maybe images having metadata like Exif could contribute to leaking PII about OP e.g. location, device used to take the picture, etc.

Do we strip that before persisting to S3?

ETA: I think services like imgur strip that data for you, but I am not certain. There's so many image hosting services out there, idk how common this functionality is.

@k00b is meta data stripped on uploads?

120 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b OP 7 Nov 2023

No. I don't think it is. I forgot that's even a thing until @WeAreAllSatoshi brought it up.

Bitcoin Inflation

Bitcoin Inflation logarithmic

A clarifying note: These charts show the monetary (supply) inflation of Bitcoin. They bear no relation to price inflation, which is an entirely distinct phenomenon. When Austrian economists say "inflation," they're typically referring to monetary inflation, whereas Keynesian economists are typically referring to price inflation.
