Sounds like a question to ask the project directly, via their contact on the site: garagehq@deuxfleurs.fr

One sentence answer: "Object storage manages data as discrete units called objects with unique identifiers and metadata, while file storage organizes data in a hierarchical structure of files and folders."
fwiw, I see object storage used as a way to manage data regardless of the file system. It is designed to scale, as opposed to the file system, in large cloud environments.
Here is a recap from Google Cloud:
Object storage, also known as object-based storage, is a computer data storage architecture designed to handle large amounts of unstructured data. Unlike other architectures, it designates data as distinct units, bundled with metadata and a unique identifier that can be used to locate and access each data unit.
These units—or objects—can be stored on-premises, but are typically stored in the cloud, making them easily accessible from anywhere. Due to object storage’s scale-out capabilities, there are few limits to its scalability, and it’s less costly to store large data volumes than other options, such as block storage.
Much of today’s data is unstructured: email, media and audio files, web pages, sensor data, and other types of digital content that do not fit easily into traditional databases. As a result, finding efficient and affordable ways to store and manage it has become problematic. Increasingly, object storage has become the preferred method for storing static content, data arches, and backups.

Not possible for me to know if it works if people don't listen. No pressure though and thanks for the feedback. My intention is to make it worth the listen, haha.

Self-hosted Tools, Dead Tech, Papercrafting (Linux Prepper Podcast on Fediverse)
(podcast.james.network)
Good to know. I've actually been using the tools I discuss on the show, as opposed to only naming off whatever is the newest thing without having actually used it. Good to know if that isn't clear.
Linux Prepper is related to doing everything myself with fully open tooling as much as possible. I've never seen another show do the same, so I thought it would be fun to try. Self-hosting everything, and using foss tooling for everything all the time, might not be practical, but it is a fun challenge. That is the intention.
Well, it is a podcast that is self-hosted and also focusing on self-hosting, Linux, DIY, and fully open source tools. My goal is to DIY everything possible using free and open tools. This episode is about going to a recent Linux conference, visiting a makerspace, and discussing distributed file shares of Tahoe-LAFS between a number of self-hosters.

What abandoned or unmaintained Linux things (software, hardware, etc) do you use?

Sure, but I wanted to ask fellow Linux users
