Why the data need to be copied in each instance?
Why the data need to be copied in each instance?
Could not it be just like a embedded? or something that works like that?
Seems a bit wasteful to have the same content stored in hundreds (potential thousands) of servers.
You're viewing a single thread.
because it reduces traffic and, logistically, it would be insane to try and build a standard forum tree from say, the 50 different servers that might be involved for every single page load.
it would be crazy not to.
ill add, the content is almost pure text. highly compressible, designed for high speed transmission and storage. its not that big a deal. .. imaging is a whole other can o worms
I believe image proxy and caching is in the works, but no proper duplication. Same for vids.
Wow this is cool! Would work similarly to peertube?
No, peertube is way more complex and as the name suggests, peer to peer. This still relies entirely on the server.
gotcha, thanks!
