@webology I think I need to get over my resistance to having Django handle file uploads and forward them on to S3 - I've always preferred having my browser push content to S3 directly, but maybe in 2024 the servers I'm running apps on can handle proxying a few MBs without me need to worry about running out of server resources

@simon we really need to promote that website more. 8 months is too long to go since the last snippet.

@simon @webology why don't just use Django Storages? It's "transparent" and you can change your storage provider in the future without any vendor lockin effect 👍

@paulox @webology doesn’t that involve uploading a file to Django which then pushes that file to S3?

@simon @webology I think it forwards the file to S3 🤔
