I haven’t looked at blossom that much, from what I understand nostr:npub13v47pg9dxjq96an8jfev9znhm0k7ntwtlh9y335paj9kyjsjpznqzzl3l8 just spec’d a way to do content addressable file lookups over http for redundancy, but doesn’t spec a way to distribute files to these blobstr servers.

What about NIP-97? This way, copies of the file can be distributed across multiple relays that choose to accept NIP-97 events, and users don't need to think about what servers to send the file to.

basically just trying to figure out how to get a fork of highlighter deployed lol

I'm American and find eating rice with a fork to be bizarre and inefficient lol. I assumed you were American too btw!

It used to be, KKR purchased OverDrive from Rakuten in 2020

nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft Trying to deploy a fork of your new highlighter repo to vercel...none of the cloud hosting providers ever seem to play well with your repos 😂

PSA: OverDrive, the parent company of Libby, the app most libraries use for borrowing eBooks/Audiobooks, has been owned by private equity firm KKR since 2020.

Here are some #opensource/non-profit alternatives:

Audiobooks:

eBooks:

- https://openlibrary.org/

The common theme i’ve seen of people who are anti-outbox/gossip model is one of two camps:

1. Those obsessed with performance/speed/data usage and they believe centralization is the only way to do that.

2. Those who don’t fully understand how outbox/gossip works and they think it means clients will randomly pick which relays their posts are sent to

Blown away by how fast nostr:npub1wyuh3scfgzqmxn709a2fzuemps389rxnk7nfgege6s847zze3tuqfl87ez is compared to other web clients and even many native iOS/Android clients. nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr you are a wizard
