Comment on Making a Simple Self-Hosted Photo Gallery With IPFS

So the IPFS network has a cap. Like OVH doesn’t have a cap as it’s a company, but their network does.

Are you trying to really understand how the thing works, or are you just looking for ways to dismiss the thing so that you can remain ignorant about it.
We’re talking about data transmission caps (as in, 1TB/month), not in bandwidth (as in 800MB/s) Also, IPFS is a protocol. The “cap” of the network is only theoretically bound by the amount of nodes running in it, but in practice it doesn’t really matter because the bandwidth of any single node will always end up being the real bottleneck.

I’m not trying to dismiss this thing, but I see not very many usecases for it. That’s why I ask all those questions and the answers are not really fulfilling IMO.
BTW 800Mb/s is sure a cap too in its way, a 100MB/s is just that, capped on one second instead of a month.
