Oddbean new post about login | logout What is this 'Other Stuff' use case of nostr as a file host? How does that work? Saw it mentioned somewhere but can't find the note to ask there 🤔 #asknostr
You mean this one? nostr:nevent1qqspnsncj3mh5l4ktcvzjvn397wps22salxzz3hqrkcwsuz4uvkezacprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68y6trdpjhxtn0wfnsygzxpsj7dqha57pjk5k37gkn6g4nzakewtmqmnwryyhd3jfwlpgxtspsgqqqqqqsgfmu9u
I fear I'm too silly to understand lol
You can use other file/media servers than nostr.build and the other few big ones. You just have to have yours added to a whitelist. I think.
I seeee. Is this what people mean by nostr-as-file hosting? It's v likely I'm confused lol. I think this includes no AWS hosting? Self-hosting or something? (I really don't know what's going on, I must stress this some more lolol).
best filehosting is twitter (its free & no storage limit lol) upload your pic/vid to a throwaway/random account, get the link and post it on nostr. still dont know why nostr devs just doesnt come up with an automation to do this in one click tho
Suppose they want to avoid that, in case in goes down or otherwise compromised, or somehow stops working?. But sounds good to me, in a 'good enough' throw away way lol, for not very important stuff.
heres an example this is a video from elons tweet, straight from x on nostr https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1744383232324296704/pu/vid/avc1/720x1280/kU1ZtFhDWPZQJBBL.mp4
Umm nostr.build is the best image/picture host NOT TWITTER HAHAHAHA
Sorry forgot to say, not sure if it was referencing this note. I think it was nip-related. But it wasnt this note I was thinking of. From a user I'd not heard of 🤔. Very well could be referencing the same thing. They were talking about using nostr as a file host, so possibly 🤔
