Anywhere where you can directly link to a image without the hoster doing any funky redirects.

Usually, the image hosts starts being like ^ while then slowly transitioning to more and more user-hostile patterns.

Only way I found to avoid this is to setup my own Hetzner box (unlimited traffic) running nginx to serve images. Use `scp` to upload them.

Hilariously, Imgur itself followed this trajectory: it started out as a super-simple image hosting site whose creator was fed up with all the nonsense that other image-hosting sites did[1]. Now, though, Imgur has become the website everyone complains about!

obviously. got my own server as well. but i‘d like to know some side-project kind of thing. those are hard to find for me - in the age of seo-ridden search results trying to sell you everything and their mother.
