I'm looking into uploading videos in a sovereign and possibly decentralized way. What's your best suggestion to date?
- Flare Pub: I couldn't find reliable information about how this works. Only this article by nostr:nprofile1qqs2c0m2lct4j0mpsyz38kkf58j5f6rmnn53kf7n0wywck8m42gpf2spz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsuspq9x which basically shreds it to pieces and so far I've no reason not to believe it.

- PeerTube: A service recommended by nostr:nprofile1qqstvak76lrk34n2w4a289nmzfpajzl40tasn5gyf5epnkx5ynj2agqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9mhwden5te0ve5kcar9wghxummnw3ezuamfdejsz9nhwden5te0dehhxarj9e3kz6rvv4hzummjvuvtwkfg which sounds and looks great! But also a little difficult to set up without having your own infrastructure?
- Odysee: Is Odysee's blockchain structure still more resilient than centralized services?
- nostr.build is a centralized server, isn't it?
Glad to hear about your views and guidance 🙏

You could host your own #Blossom instance.
Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqszv6q4uryjzr06xfxxew34wwc5hmjfmfpqn229d72gfegsdn2q3fgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg6waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8g6r9wdsk6etrv96zu6t09uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshs9h69jx can point you to the right thing.
Alrighty, thanks 🙏 First hint.
What the hell is Blossom?
And can we rename nostr to Blossom? 🌼🤔
Nostrifying Peertube would be awesome, especially with full Blossom integration.
Or extending flare.pub with a Blossom only integration...
Mh, sounds like great future options 🙏 I'll look more into Blossom. And for the moment self-hosting with PeerTube and then just linking to Nostr sounds nice and feasible.
Blossom would work however its not quite there yet, You would have to encode and optimize the videos yourself and they would only have one resolution setting
There is the option of using HLS (which is what twitch uses for providing multiple resolutions of a video) with blossom or any other hosting service, but you would still have to convert your videos to HLS which is even harder than mp4 😞
I think nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 was working on HLS in zap.stream and nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s was also experimenting with encoding videos to HLS nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqvhpsfmr23gwhv795lgjc8uw0v44z3pe4sg2vlh08k0an3wx3cj9qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3kamnwvaz7tm5dpjkvmmjv4ehgtnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qqsxhezqs2vd9e5jcgg9u5jwa94da49xv4pz7vdek8ca2atgx426ajsmfx8yj
I also created a hacky experiment for uploading HLS videos to blossom https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-hls-upload (sorry there are no instructions)
Ooookay, very nice! I definitely need to check and keep an eye out on the workings of blossom then. Thanks a lot 🙏
It's probably pointless to reply to this so late, but "encoding and optimizing the videos yourself" is the foreseeable future for decentralized video hosting. Everyone has a powerful phone or computer that's usually idle for at least several of every 24 hours, so it doesn't make sense to expect video hosting infrastructure to dedicate idle resources to doing that for everyone.
