Comment on Show HN: Jollyshot – ephemeral image hosting

Comments

Be careful, as they don't really delete the files, only don't show them on the site.

Here is an example. I uploaded a picture that was shown here http://jollyshot.com/Kzg7Xe where you can see that "This photo has expired!" but the image is still accessible here http://jollyshot.s3.amazonaws.com/media/5e34cc07d5fc6b390c1d...

We permanently delete all expired files from S3 every 30 minutes. Check your link -- the text will change from "expired" to "deleted".

Shouldn't you delete it at the moment when you stop showing it on the site?

looks like they fixed that.
