Frequently Asked Questions


General

What is safe.0x0.la?

safe.0x0.la is another fork of the open source lolisafe file uploading service. I accept your files and give you back a shitty shareable link for you to send to your friends. You can check out this fork I've modified here.

Are there any banned categories?

Banned categories are the following, but not limited to:
Child pornography.
Virus/malware [ unless approved by me ]
Copyrighted content. Meaning I will respond to copyright takedown notices,.. if any. [ unless approved by me ]
...Anything Google Safe Search would categorize as unwanted software. *
Full-length episodes of cartoons, TV shows or movies of any kind. [ unless approved by me ]
Furry porn and/or beastiality. Shits disgusting and I'm tired of looking at it.
Large videos that are being mass shared to Discord servers, public forums, social media, IRC, or any other form of communcation software.

Any of such uploads, when found, will be purged immediately without any prior notice.
Repeat offenders will have their IPs permanently blocked from accessing 0x0.la website and sub-domains.
If I choose to do so, I may even blacklist your entire country. I have no problem with doing that.
For child pornography specifically, offenders will immediately be blocked permanently, doxed, and reported to the FBI/Interpol/etc... Absolutely no exceptions.

* When Google Safe Search detects unwanted software, Chrome's users will be alerted that anything they download from 0x0.la website and sub-domains are unsafe.

Will you keep my uploads forever?

Unless the uploads are included within the banned categories above, or some other bullshit, I will. If I need more storage, I'll just add more. [ fund me! ]
In case I have to take down any uploads, I will log their names and explanations in here.

Otherwise, we also have temporary uploads feature, with which you can have your uploads be automatically deleted after a period of time.
It is disabled by default, but you can configure it through our homepage uploader's Config tab.

How can I keep track of my uploads?

Create an account, shit-lips. Every upload will be associated with your account, granting you access to your uploaded files through the dashboard.

What are albums?

Albums were a terrible way of sorting uploads together until this fork was made.
Right now you can create albums through the dashboard (and the homepage if you are logged in),
then afterwards you can use them with the Chrome extension or the Firefox extension,
which will enable you to right click -> send to safe or to a desired album if you have any.
You will have to set the domain in the extension's settings to https://safe.0x0.la.

You can share public links to these albums, allowing everyone else to view pretty listings of the uploads in them.
I haven't set this up in a way for albums to be viewed pubicly (due to various circumstances.)

Albums can also be downloaded as ZIP-archives.
Both of these features can be toggled per-album basis from the Dashboard.

Why should I use this?

There are too many file upload services out there and they all fucking suck ass. Use it if you want, I don't give a shit. I'm letting you know, however, I can see all of your uploads. I don't care about them. I'll probably laugh and move on.

I saw something too illegal for my tastes here, what should I do?

Send me an email to [email protected] and I'll get back to you in 24 hours or less unless spooks have already busted down my door and taken me to federal-pound-me-in-the-ass prison. Don't do that because I will find you.
These include copyright takedown notices and reports about uploads violating banned categories.

How can I support safe.0x0.la?

You can become a patron on Patreon for Bobby! For myself, however? Send money to my PayPal, [email protected] - a portion will go to Bobby, a portion will go for more hard drive space (for you!)

Technical

What are the allowed extensions here?

We support any file extensions, except the following:
.bash_profile .bash .bashrc .bat .bsh .cmd .com .csh .exe .exec .jar .msi .nt .profile .ps1 .psm1 .scr .sh

Why are my .htm/.html uploads being served as plain text?

There had been too many phishing pages being uploaded in the past.

Where is the server located?

Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
We are using Cloudflare though, so you can expect your uploads to be delivered quickly all over the world after they have been cached.

Since my uploads are cached, what about after I delete them from the dashboard?

We will send API requests to Cloudflare to purge their cache immediately after you delete your uploads from the dashboard.
Cache of their thumbnails will also be purged, if applicable.

I cannot access this website with Tor and/or VPNs!?

My server is actively refreshing and blacklisting Tor exit nodes.
There have been too many child pornography uploaders using Tor, that they simply didn't care about individual IPs being banned.
Sometimes I might also end up blacklisting IP ranges that were known to come from VPNs, if there had been attempts with multiple of those IPs.
Nothing much I can do about it. We live in a society.

Are there any Desktop clients?

We do have some browser extensions:
Firefox extension. Maintained by me. Its GitHub repository is located here.
Chrome extension. Maintained by lolisafe's team. Its GitHub repository is located here.
With the Chrome extension specifically, you will have to manually set the domain in the extension's settings to https://safe.0x0.la.

If you use Windows desktop, the safe support uploads from ShareX.
You can download the config file by clicking on the ShareX icon on the homepage.
When logged in, the config file will also be automatically populated with your account's token.
This will allow you to manage your ShareX uploads from our Dashboard.

If you use Linux desktop, there is a compatible bash uploader which I also maintain.
You can learn more about it from its GitHub repository.

Do you have a No-JS uploader form?

I found a bug! -or- I want to request a feature!

Feel free to create a GitHub issue here.
If you do not have a GitHub account, you can also email [email protected].

How do I delete my own account and all the uploads associated with it?

For now, you will also have to contact me through my email [email protected].
A feature to delete your own account by yourself is still work in progress.
Otherwise, if you do not mind a record of your username being left here, it should be easy to bulk delete all your uploads from the Dashboard anyway.

Privacy

What information is kept with uploads?

The uploader's IP address.

What information is kept with users?

Technically, none.
After all, not even an email address is required to register an account.
Anything will do as your usernames, and passwords are also encrypted.
If a registered user has not uploaded anything even once, then I will not even be able to associate it to any specific IP address.

Why do you need to keep my IP address?

Security purposes.
For instance, if it is necessary to purge uploads from a specific IP address due to abuse, it will help a lot to be able to find all uploads by that specific uploader.
My safe have been plagued by aplenty of abuse, so this policy will remain as long as the safe lives on.

Does the server have some sort of access logs?

Yes.
The logs contain each visitor's IP address.
This is required by our automated system, that checks logs in real time to detect and punish abuse, such as DDoS attempts, scanners, and so on.
Logs are rotated daily, and the server will only keep the last 10 logs.
So you can be assured that the logs will only be kept for 10 days at most.

I still have more unanswered questions!

Help! I click the thumbnail button or delete button and nothing happens! Why?!

If you're using uBlock or some other adblocking extension, I've noticed the filter list named "TUR: Adguard Turkish Filter" blocks a cosmetic element ##.swal-overlay and this is required for SweetAlertJS. If you disable cosmetic blocking of elements for my site then everything works fine. I guess in the shit ass country of Turkey they're known to use SweetAlertJS to deliver ads to their users. Don't blame me, everything works fine on my end. Blame the Turk roaches.

I click the register button and nothing is happening. Why?

Similar to the last question, uBlock may be blocking 'cosmetic items' and with that turned on, the register button isn't working. Disable the option of 'cosmetic filtering' on uBlock and any other extension you are running and try again.
