User profiles, posts, images, and other content is cached across the various servers on the Fediverse.

Conceptually, software could access any of that from any server that cached it (and not just the origin server).

You could have a type of Fediverse content-distribution-network (CDN) if you did.

Once you have Fediverse Caching servers — you have the basis to create a Fediverse content-distribution-network (CDN).

A (Fediverse-native) Fediverse content-distribution-network (CDN) could bring a new level of robustness and scalability to the Fediverse — while still maintaining the properties of decentralization, federation, and localization.

One way to increase the robustness of the Fediverse is — to introduce the concept of a Fediverse Caching server.

It (the Fediverse Cachine server) caches stuff from the Fediverse rather than the regular Fediverse servers (that house local users and local content).

One thing that crashes Fediverse servers (maybe the most) is — caching.

And, in particular, their storage drivers filling up (due to caching), which crashes the server.

Fediverse servers cache profiles, posts, images, and other servers on the Fediverse.

Take the time to read {again} how Stephan has built a self hosted CDN using OpenSource programming and tools.

He literally shares the code. From what I processed, this method can scale up quite easily. You can build a super large CDN yourself using similar modus operandi.

No corporate CDN, but the insight, resilience and technical expertise of a great programmer, with the Passion and Curiosity of someone visionary.

All powered by OpenSource BSD IPv6 jails DNS caching and enthusiasm

Thank you Stephan

@Erpel because the spammers are assholes?

• I wished @Codeberg had some #AI #bot / #blocklist feature to flatout block #spammers and #bots cuz given the fact that #GitHub refuses to allow blocking #Copilot, this may be the straw to move the projects over there if I can't be assed to #SelfHost and merely abude GitHub as a #CDN!

• Which I certainly would intent…

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 212 (consolidating edition) 🎛

If you followed my (mis)adventures yesterday and all the issues I had with caching and #CDN for my #Wordpress site, well, I found a solution.

💫​ Something that had been in front of me the whole time
💫​ ZERO additional costs
