Ive been trying for weeks. No wifi

Not good cell service

Can’t upload any videos

I gave up

Dang :(

This seems like an opportunity for Nostr app developers to improve on.

It should not be this difficult to upload a simple video

Ridiculous

Running you own blossom server is easy, connecting it to a website is harder. But its not the devs fault. Its your slow internet connections fault.

💯

1. You take a video of yourself

2. Run your own private blossom relay

3. Connect it to your website

4. Post it there and sync it across multiple blossom servers so it can’t be taken down

Interesting let’s say I create a nice series of videos, who’s relaying the thousands of gb just I would produce?

If you only place them on your blossom relay; then your bandwidth would take the hit for the video playback.

But that’s why step 4 was sync it across multiple relays so they help relay that video traffic too.

Bloom.btcforplebs.com can do this sync. Shoutout to nostr:npub1m2jphmdkskgnvwl5gplksl9e0zwv2sldqf9mwlpz6tyymz84g9fsqr3wgu for making it!

to add to that nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyzgzplnc277j8yk4qjlwh8jksam02pmcf76mt22277677xhf0qpgjun40u6 i would upload big files you want to share to big public (blossom.primal.net) or paid (satellite.earth, nostr.build, etc) servers.

you can def serve them from your own relay (i like haven), but that will depend on your server's bandwidth limitations.

I personally like to keep keep copies of certain files on my own server but usually share a mirrored version from another. really part of the reason i'm building Bloom (thanks nostr:nprofile1qyw8wumn8ghj7mr0vajkutnzw33kvmmjwpkx2cnn9e3k7mf0qyw8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnzw33kvmmjwpkx2cnn9e3k7mf0qqsxr0mepvsfftasxj2uncfk4nmpt0s0enpvh9d44na47mxwlcvtqcs0k7agp lol), and i made it super simple to share files right to nostr from there (bloomapp.me shameless plug).

Next to that, how many people do you expect to do this?

This is the most sovereign way to Vlog, but it’s not the only way. You could just upload your flogs to everyone else else’s blossom server (like primal or nostr build) and trust them to keep it online for you

Eh, I just record it, put it in some online free thing to make it under 50 mb and post it on Amethyst. Fuck it.

Just talk to yourself while holding the record button. Be you. I’ll watch it 💜

Planning something more profound tbh

LFG champ 🫡🧡💪🏼
