About

Welcome to the OwO developers' blog. Stay for a while, sit down, listen. on second thought, turn around when possible

This is where Aurieh and Dean post happenings with OwO (the service) and OwO (the code). We also talk about our stupid ideas and stupid things we've been messing around with, like testing in production, screwing around with new software and (virtually) blowing stuff up.

If you've never heard of it before, OwO is a private file hosting service currently hosted in Germany that stores hundreds of thousands of files < 100M (mostly screenshots) for a couple hundred users. Our code is open source, and no logs are kept on uploads (we store anonymous information on CDN origin requests). OwO is a free service supported by donations that runs no advertisements.

OwO also hosts a small GitLab server for it's users, a public Matrix homeserver for decentralized communication, and we are looking to host more public services that promote anonymity or decentralization.

Some posts will be short and some will be lengthy, luckily for you the reader there are little x minute read things for each post displayed on the index and at the top of each post's page. The theme we use for this blog is Chalk, and there's a link in the footer to the GitHub page. You'll probably notice we changed it up a little bit, monospace fonts and some other small edits. The code for this blog can be found on GitHub.

Note: this blog probably contains coarse language. You have been warned.
