though i can't find any source on that so i might have dreamt that up

the only way that could be true is if we count blobs and that's only relevant if you're running an appview i think

for the relay it's just a few terabytes

astrra.space•19 days ago

and also even for an appview it's relevant only if you want to do something with those blobs, afaik appviewlite just fetches them directly from the PDS iirc

tei.pet•19 days ago

appview mostly shouldn't gaf about blobs tho, blobs are proxied through https://cdn.bsky.app (i.e. bunnycdn) which in turn fetches them from the pds.

but there might be some appview-side processing involved with videos

ah fair

then apart from the CDN nothing needs the aforementioned petabyte i guess

alnkq.bsky.social•19 days ago

Depending on how you configure it, it can fetch the blobs lazily from the PDSes (and possibly cache the thumbnails to disk), or it can reuse an existing CDN (https://cdn.bsky.app)

but even with the blobs i'm fairly certain that it's much less than a petabyte lol
