Well it also depends on the protocol, the filesystem, how many levels of abstraction and containerization we're playing with, and a lot of things.
I'm not opposed to blossom, or whatever works, I just want to be able to post a link to a file and have the video play, preferably with a thumbnail and video controls.
Sending memes over SSTV using radio waves is pretty fuckin dope. Meshtastic is also pretty sick.
I don't know, I have the same problem.
I don't just take pictures, I also play radio.
This is my first Parks on the Air - #POTA activation. I drove out to a remote park in Arizona and set up a mobile radio station to make as many contacts as possible. It totally worked.

I’m not sure if this is the best way to host long from video content, but we can try.

I have a fair bit of long form video content too, so I set up an IPFS node for that. Maybe I should just do that for the images too?
There is no here, there is no there. These apps are not places, they interfaces. (Relays are places, but lets just ignore that side of the story for a second).
When you publish your pictures in kind20 events, it is clear they are pictures. This means any app that supports kind20, will automatically pull up your stuff and show them in whatever fancy way they do it.
When you post your pictures embedded in these kind1 posts, they might as well be you informing us on what you had for breakfast this morning, or that you stumbed your toe...they are 'tweets'.
You are a photographer, and want to have a "photopgraphy presence", those kind20 events will do that for you. Think of it as uploading your portfolio, subsequently every app(that supports kind20) allow people to interface with your porfolio.
Lets take another example. You could tweet that you are going to host an event at some date at some place. Or you post a specific calender event, that interacts with peoples calender apps (that you could also reference in a tweet).
You could tweet how many miles you ran and what route you took, or you can post this particular work-out event that interacts with peoples jogging apps (that you could also then reference i a tweet)...
I hope i am making sense.
For some deeper insight on Nostr, if you are a bit "technical" perhaps my FOSDEM presentation will clarify some things:

(The irony of me posting a youtube link is not lost on me, but...early days)
No, it does make sense, thank you - I assumed that an image posted here was a kind20 inside a kind1, similar to the way the fediverse works.
I’m a day in, so I’ll get it figured out, but thank you.
Olas is acting like it’s read only, but it shouldn’t be. I don’t know if that’s my error or the platform, but it *appears* to be the platform.
How is it any different? Whether I post the image here and you see it, or I post the image there and link to it here, and you see it.
What’s the benefit of using another app/service/tool/thing?
I don't have android devices, but this seems to work fine.
I have been trying to use Olas, but I’m not able to create or do anything with it. All options are greyed out and the feed is empty.
This is from an old ghost town called Rhyolite in Nevada, on the border of Death Valley. It’s the old mining site where they used to get the Borax, with the 20 mule team. I spent all night out there trying to get this picture perfect. It’s the first image that really made me decide - alright, astrophotography is what I’mma do. This is for me.
It’s also the first time I realized that someone put art out in the middle of nowhere, just for me to find and be amazed. It changed my appreciation of art, and the course of my life.
I quit my fancy tech job and started a media company, sold my house, and now I travel to the dark places in my RV and take pictures of the sky.

I won't spam you too hard, but here's a couple from Devil's Garden in Utah.

Hi Nostr. I'm new here. I'm Luke, I travel around the country in my RV looking for the darkest places to take pictures of the Milky Way. I hope you like them.
