cargodog on Nostr: When I say distribution, I mean in the sense of a CDN which acts like a caching layer ...
When I say distribution, I mean in the sense of a CDN which acts like a caching layer to quickly replicate a file all around the world to distribute the load away from the primary storage server(s); which is what IPFS is. IPFS doesn't do storage it does caching and makes distribution much more efficient.
Don't get me wrong, Blossom looks great, but afaict it's just a content addressing protocol for retrieval from storage servers.
In fact, as I write this, I'm wondering if Blossom could be used in conjunction with IPFS to get the best of both worlds. Blossom media servers would become a lot cheaper to operate if there was a caching layer in front.... Damnit I don't have time for more projects 😆
