What would an IPFS solution look like here? That’s a genuine question. I don’t have much experience with IPFS. It seems like it isn’t really used outside of blockchain applications.

They grew there

Yeah, I wish it could be cheaper but I’m not a corporation. Instead I’m dependent on them to make a simpler product.

The target audience is certainly not developers because they can jump through the hoops to setup their own S3 + CDN or similar.

Somebody actually did make this as a joke years ago haha https://github.com/yarrick/pingfs

Thanks for reading and pointing out that typo! (I fixed it)

Jortage is a really interesting approach. It definitely helps reduce the impact of the file hosting problem but it doesn’t fully address the underlying cost issue. The cost of storing files grows every month indefinitely while donations typically don’t.

I would like to see a file hosting pool come to lemmy though. So I will look into it. :)

The files are uploaded to two separate S3 buckets. One is backed by Wasabi and the other is Backblaze. So if one fails, randomly bans my account, etc then I can switch the primary to the other and setup another mirror afterwards.

Compute is hosted by fly.io and the CDN is bunny.net

I can tell you don’t work in software lol

VRR isn’t supported by default by most distros. Just because it works with your setup doesn’t mean it works for others.

Also, this event seems to be primarily focused on AMD/Mesa support.

Err… no it doesn’t. There are so many bug reports of neither HDR nor VRR working properly with the steam deck. My deck won’t even dock properly with my TV after recent updates.

It’s better than most other linuxes in the sense that it works sometimes I guess.
