If we just get a few thousand people running blossom servers, we could replace YouTube

What is required? Hardware/instructions (url) to make it happen.
Hmm. Could we have the ability to mirror content on trusted friend's blossom instances.
Can I run it in da phone
Yeah I'm fed up with YTs BS.
Yeah, I'm interested. A quick search turns up Minecraft servers, though.
Remember Popcorn Time? 10 years ago, it let people stream full movies via torrents, totally decentralized. Nostr Blossom is now opening doors for similar peer-to-peer content sharing, but for all kinds of data. The future of the internet is in the hands of the plebs
Are there clients specific for Blossom. Sorry if this is a noob question, I’m genuinely interested in a Nostr YT.
Aren't videos the domain of NIP-96? I thought that was for media while blossom was for file sharing.
Where can i learn more? Longer videos would be great on NOSTR.
Getting new hardware for my node so I'll have a extra computer... What kind of specs we talking about for a Blossom server and for a relay?
A blossom server will need massive space and a good connection but not much else
I still stream torrent movies all the time ...
I’m a newbie to nostr but would like to learn how this technical side of development is done, and how non programmers can lend a hand
I tried to avoid google bs but all my learning comes from youtube so i use a client for it but i get so many errors
Is there a guide available yet?
Replacing TikTok is easier - hosting and serving small videos is significantly cheaper comparing to tens of minutes of 4k60 videos.
Thing is, there are already clients out there where we could integrate Nostr + Blossom to (re)distribute existing content (it would open up a nice copyright fight there)
(I'm running my own instance to download YT videos for my kids)

What benefit does blossom provide other than a simple http server that allows upload?
👀
I’d be interested in helping with that. Can you provide a link for how to set it up?
i wonder if it could be run off a synology?
Yes it can, I'm doing that (with truenas)
