So, I'm new to Gemini and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for hosting media files? For small files (such as podcast audio) you could host it with a Gemini server from the looks of it, but for videos thats gonna be a bit iffy with no session restarting.

I know that Gemini is mostly meant just to distribute text (thats part of why I find it interesting), so maybe linking to another protocol would work? I'd like to avoid running a Gem server just to also host a HTTP server for this.

Torrents might work, but not everyone is comfortable with those and it might be interesting to set up a seeder on a server. I suppose I should see what players like VLC and MPV support.
