Got it, thanks. I'll give it a read and do some more practical research. I admit that I've played with impressive demos and not much else.
But I think I’ve sidetracked the post by even mentioning IPFS. My main idea was to implement Nostr Notes + Blossom media sync through torrents. Have, say, Khatru/Haven expose a torrent with a file structure similar to what you did for nak/FUSE, plus all my Blossom blobs. I can then expose a magnet link with a BEP-39 update URL.
We could even have a specific event on Nostr for folks to discover my Nostr/Blossom content index URL. For lack of a better name, let's call it master outbox. Anybody else can use this torrent to sync and seed my notes and media.
This doesn’t need to be a massive centralised index like Bluesky. Instead, each user publishes their content to whatever relay they want, chooses one as their current master outbox, and other relays and even clients (through WebTorrent) can perform full or partial syncs using the torrent/magnet link. Wouldn't this be useful at all? Sure Negentropy can be used for more complex gathering of notes spread across relays. But for simple sync it feels like this would be an efficient way of doing things.
