Imported images from /r/earthporn are browseable at https://scenery.cx/

Note to blog author, the 'use IPFS' link ends up pointing to 127.0.0.1, which may or may not be what was intended?

https://imgur.com/r/earthporn <-- You can do this with any sub /r/ and it will give you imgur's bucket of images posted in each subreddit.

Thanks for clicking! Clicking 'use IPFS' makes all the images point to the local IPFS gateway on 127.0.0.1:8080, so browser can get the images from people who pin (distribute) them, like in a bittorrent. But even if you installed it, it wouldn't work because currently I don't pin image files on IPFS. IPFS daemon consumes a lot of ram and cpu resources, so I decided to shut it down.

Thanks for clarification :)
