OF COURSE HE WILL. Make them sweat it out and find ways to kiss the ring.

Bluesky has videos linked to a static host by a different site or provider. They are not themselves the host of those videos. Different scenario.

NAS: little box of disks that sits on a shelf or rack Media Server: just something that makes media files available for whatever. Could be a network drive you attach to from your desktop, or a streaming server for music or video RAID: mirrored drives. If you have two drives in a NAS, you can mirror them with RAID1 so if one fails, you can replace it with the data on the second drive UPS: just a battery backup device you plug things into

So these are just various things you can combine to make a larger system. You don’t NEED a NAS for instance, you can just have a machine that serves files to your network. You don’t NEED a media server unless you want those features.

You pick and choose what you want to do, then piece all these things together to make a larger functional system that does what you want.

Maybe a better approtis asking here what you actually want, and then people can suggest solutions for that.

This is pretty fucking mindblowing

That’s not how this would have to work though. Even with dedicated seeding instances, the instantiation of a session for a torrent is LONG. Like 5s+ long. A request and response from a CDN is in the milliseconds. Users wouldn’t use a system that takes 5s just for the initial request for a single video, plus the additional time to sort for segments and recombining before it plays. Even in a fast-ish scenario, that’s like 10s alone.

Imagine waiting 10s for a stupid internet video to even start playing to watch some kid dance with a rubber chicken in their pants.

Yes, and it’s incredibly slow and wouldn’t scale to millions of users. If one user is high bandwidth, and another low, you’d have uneven distribution of traffic for a newly connecting user, meaning the entirety of whatever you’re about to watch won’t be completed in time for a good user interaction flow. The issue isn’t whether it’s technically possible or not, but if it’s functional enough for similar traffic as TikTok.

The other issue with torrenting is that a lot of users may incur data charges if the service were to be constantly seeding other users on limited data plans or with data or speed caps in general. It’s just not the right tool for the job.

This is an open invite for influence, plain and simple. A tip jar for Trump open to enemy nations, dictators, and billionaires to buy favors.

Yeah, and people ask about suicide on the Internet as well, but I would never help them.

Big nope. It’s not a technical hurdle, it’s a viability problem. Just search on why you should never host your own SMTP service.

Because one costs money and another doesn’t. Simple fact.

CDN distribution of content is 2X the cost of static hosted files. This isn’t a pendant saying “I CAN DO THIS” scenario, it’s “can it be monetized”, and in the case of of a video service on AT, absolutely not. Who do you think is paying for the hosting costs of a popular video in this scenario?

Cuban doesn’t know WTF he’s talking about about at all, but if he wants to launch competition and pay for that, there is certainly an expectation that a return will be built. Ads all over the place.

109ms response time was the goal circa 2009. Now, with the advent of Kubernetes, response time as are in seconds. Proxies on top of proxies cost request time. Users will abandon.

Can you reform this question?

You apparently do not internet. Anything with a wait time is not an app platform people will use.

It’s shockingly hilarious to see people celebrating a fascist who is set on absolutely ruining their fucking world so fast they won’t even know what happened.

Roseanne is a has-been, sure, but all these people in this video (children included) are about to feel the boot of fascism on their neck in a truly fucked up way they have never even considered possible, and they’re bragging about it.

Pathetic.

Jesus wasn’t ha-wite, so they probably would.

According to the picture, Jesus will help them out though. All handled.

CDN won’t scale to millions of users all uploading videos on a decentralized system. Article is specifically talking about AT Protocol which doesn’t account for video. Making a global CDN distribution of videos from decentralized sources is whole other ball of wax.

Way more serious than that. This is a straight up plan to rewrite history and indoctrinate people into believing the absolute lies and bullshit being peddled.

Video will not work for AT whatsoever. Text and images, fine, but I’m pretty sure leveraging edge delivery of video is just not going to work out well for users. I think they’ll need a centralized host for that portion, or some fancy ways to offload bandwidth otherwise to prevent constant hammering of popular videos.

It’s really that Monoxide that’ll get you the dual Hydrogens. That’s how they getcha.
