- mdaniel 5y agoI don't believe it addresses many of those things, but it might address scaling given that its very concept is federation But, AIUI, *the problem* it is solving is that [conceptually] instead of the user leasing S3 space from AWS, and putting their photos on Someone Else's Computer, but then being wholly responsible for the ACLs required to grant or revoke access to said photos, in this model the user can instead give out a lease of access to the photos to dedicated groups, and the storage comes from The Whole Internet (ala Filecoin) Again, AIUI, this is much closer to a virtual-host model: I can create joshspankit.photos.example.com/timeline/2022/02/30/Trip to Antarctica/ which only you can access, and only the photos I put in that container, and I can revoke that at will by deleting joshspankit.photos.example.com at which point your lease evaporates Plus, blockchain something something
