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 🙏

Odysee is on cloudflare, and the subscriptions/delivery is disconnected from the Arweave wallet. You could be on there for social purposes and marketing, but not self-sovereign.

I will present to you 3 solutions,

Solution 1,

Host a website with your videos and have a third party CDN. Use a service that isn't as mainstream on cloudflare, such as Bunny.net has CDN streaming videos with anonymous bitcoin. This is a centralized service, but isn't literally the same thing as everyone else.

Solution 2,

Bastyon has videos (like peertube) for their pkoin crypto you can buy on tapbit. It's using nodes paid to stream it just like peertube, so you don't have to setup a whole thing. Then you can link from your website (or Nostr) to Bastyon videos

Solution 3,

Upload to Arweave directly using the ArDrive CLI.

You can then post the videos on nostr or your website with links for different countries.

If you are up for the technical challenge, you can get an ArNS domain name and then update an RSS feed with the Arweave videos, but this RSS feed part is fairly difficult if you don't know how to use the Linux command line. Hopefully in the future, myself and others will come up with graphical apps to do the backend work for people.

Great response! I learned a lot just by looking up all the abbreviations and services you mentioned here 😉 Thanks for clarifying the Odysee situation, straightforward. Especially, how to self-host a website and which CDN service to use looks much worthwhile to me 🙏
