I was looking for how to speed up nos.social with loading images and I thought about proxying the images, so they're smaller and served through a CDN... turns out that Iris already does that!
Using ...
@nostrich does proxying? I know @nostrich does it. I’m not sure what I think about it. Snort does crazy compression to the point that my pics look like crap. If Iris is doing it, then it’s great - things are nice and crisp. (Need to look at the URLs when I’m not on a phone).
The screenshot is why I think Iris doesn’t do it.
Would be nice to offer to @nostrich users. But I’ll probably have to run a client on my domain to make that happen. Would be nice if the clients let you pick the proxy service.
That said, I do worry about the legal implications of being a proxy. It’s possible things like CSAM are (briefly) on your server. BUT clearly with proxy there’s no intent to break the law.
