Do you have a source? My instinct is the opposite. Compute scales with users but storage scales with videos

Same I’m definitely a fellow normal person

Good idea! I don’t have experience with this but I’d bet you can call a script from the narrative for more complex flows like you mentioned.

Are you suggesting they don’t store different versions? This suggests they do.

I believe they store and that’s why it processes lowest res first and works up

I feel like the early adopters of lemmy are chronically online and shitposting keeps them sane

I always check the mirror and it feels more natural to reach my far hand, so I guess I do this!

Are you wondering if one instance can be spread across multiple machines? I don’t think that’s possible and seems unnecessary. I say that because spreading users onto more instances creates less load on the larger instances, not more. Edit: I guess you can scale instances across machines!

Nice that they can control it more, but I’d bet most companies don’t want to maintain their own instance
