Hey, I am curious, are people working on storing fediverse data off the servers? Like using bittorent protocol or ipfs?

    Garage has deduplication of all files, yes. Obviously if you host something on server not under your control you have to have a certain trust in them. Generally speaking Garage seems to be a good replacement for Minio, but I don’t have any direct tips for migrating.

    There was also a project for Mastodon to sit between it and any S3 storage that would allow sharing and deduplicating files between instances, but I can’t find it right now and forgot the name. But it seemed stuck in a rewrite and not actively developed outside of that.
