[Rails] Implement file size compression for media attachments #806

Closed rudokemper closed 1 year ago

rudokemper commented 2 years ago

Currently, media attachments (images, audio, video) that are uploaded to Terrastories are stored in the original filesize. Yet, these assets are only rendered on the front end in a relatively small size; the videos can be maximized to full screen, but are generally only viewed via standard computer monitors or smartphone devices. Ideally, these should be optimized for the web - in the current storage setup, they are taking up unnecessary storage space, and increase the load of bandwidth streaming, potentially causing performance issues.
