*ok, looks like we're not going to have enough capacity for 15 movies. :biden-forgor: Pina tells me there's enough for maybe 5 though.
If you have any solutions let me know. If not, we're only going to do a few and possibly spread them out with slop already on youtube.
My apologies :cri:
Can one host movies on oracle?
What I described above is setting up a very lightweight cloud compute instance and then running a tool (Nextcloud- a Google drive-like application that can be self-hosted) on that instance (preferably through Docker).
So long as that instance isn't broadcasting its existence to everyone, there's pretty much a 0% chance that Oracle would ever manually scan an instance to see what data was sitting on the block volumes (and contractually they probably can't without cause).
I don't really know how cytube handles external media under the hood, so I may be off base here about whether this is a real solution or not.
Short explanation assuming the instance is up
I assume this is how it already works (just with a different file host than Nextcloud on a cloud compute instance).
If you ping the people who set up the CyTube instance that's served at live.hexbear they can probably weigh in on if this is a good way to handle the problem. I would but I just don't know who the people to ping are.
You would want to contact @Zoift about that because itspina already told me no lol.
