It really should.

meldrik ,

You can already see how many posts and comments users make. Isn’t that the same?

meldrik ,

Wouldn’t you need a publically available IP? DuckDNS is only for dynamic IP’s that is public, yes?

meldrik ,

Data send via HTTP is not encrypted. That’s bad.

meldrik ,

Yea, that is also what I thought. To bypass this, you would need something like Cloudflare Tunnels or setup a VPN on a VPS, that redirects traffic to your homeserver.

Love the new storyboard feature, but it eats a lot of CPU!

PeerTube v6 is out with a new preview feature, private videos, video chapters, and more (nerdica.net) en-gb

PeerTube, the decentralized and open-source alternative to video broadcasting services such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Twitch, has launched its version 6. This comes after only two minor versions were released, with PeerTube 5.2 launched in June and PeerTube 5.1 in March....

meldrik ,

Care to elaborate?

meldrik ,

My only wish is that they support sharing bandwidth without having to host a peertube instance.

Remote runners for transcoding video already exists, so I think it’s plausible that we could get something for redundancy / help with bandwidth as well.

Bandwidth is just not really that big of an issue on PeerTube. If multiple people are watching is watching the same video, they share bandwidth and lots of PeerTube instances have redundancy enabled.

A much bigger issue is storage.

What’s even worse, they are removing the possibility to share bandwidth without hosting a peertube instance:

Hardly any instance uses webtorrent, as HLS provides a much better viewing experience. HLS also support P2P.

meldrik ,

You’re missing the point: if I want to contribute bandwidth, I need to host an instance or watch the exact same video somebody else is watching.

That’s why I said we can hope they expand on the remote runners, so that people can easily install a runner that could share bandwidth. Just like now we have runners, that are very easy to install, that can transcode videos.

Finding a nice video on some random instance but being unable to watch it because it can only provide 100KB/s or worse says you’re wrong.

Bandwidth is not one of the bigger issues with PeerTube and that’s coming from someone who hosts a PeerTube instance. Obviously you will have issues, if you host PeerTube on a slow internet connection.

meldrik ,

Which instances have you looked at? Most of the big instances federate with others. Except for Tilvids.com. You can still subscribe to other channels though.

meldrik ,

Take a look at this list: instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?sort=totalVi…

Sort by most followings and select the first with signups.

meldrik ,

There’s The Linux Experiment on PeerTube.

meldrik ,

Can’t say if federation will work, but it should run just fine without it on I2P.

meldrik ,

Thank you for your awesome work, @Framasoft! I especially think storyboards is a really nice QoL feature.

However, how do I keep it from using all CPU cores, when creating the storyboard? 😅

I illegally downloaded this video to my PeerTube instance. The guy is gonna come kick down my door, any minute now.

Couldn’t resist doing Mr. Kim’s accent, as I read it.

Nice try, Hollywood!

I am a simple man. I see Stargate. I click upvote. Simple.

Lemmy still uses algorithms, but they do not use personal information. When you sort by “Hot”, “Active” etc. you are using an algorithm.

meldrik ,

Exactly. Everyone can see how and why an algorithm on Lemmy shows what it show.

meldrik ,

Mint is based on Ubuntu and LMDE is based on Debian. I think Mint is more up-to-date and more newbie friendly.

meldrik ,

I have a recurrent donation to the development of Lemmy, set up on Liberapay.

meldrik ,

You could use the cryptocurrency Monero. It’s specifically made to be anonymous.

meldrik ,

Adira seemed very hesitant to tell Stamets, which I thought was silly. I might remember that wrong though.

meldrik ,

It depends on two things. What are you yourself subscribed to and what is your instance subscribed.

You only see the communities on your instance’s “all”, that other users and you is subscribed to. So if a majority of the users on Lemmy.zip is subscribed to various Linux communities, then that’s what you see.

I don’t see a majority of Linux communities on my “all”.

Why is the PeerTube app situation still terrible?

The way I see it, the mobile app ecosystem for PeerTube has yet to take off, in spite of the fact that it has a seemingly decent API. More people appear to be using the platform than ever before, which is great, but we still seem to be lacking a general ecosystem that Mastodon or even Lemmy has....

meldrik ,

Framatube has an official PeerTube app on their roadmap for 2024.

meldrik ,

This is missing NSFW tag!

meldrik ,

This is something PeerTube already does. Viewers of a video will be a peer and so can other PeerTube servers also be for each others videos.

Bandwidth isn’t the biggest issue. Storage is. The video need to be stored somewhere and storage is expensive.

We need something like Siacoin, that’s easy to use and easy to donate or sell cheap storage.

meldrik ,

Why not arrest them then, if they have proof of being terrorists?

meldrik ,

What happens when someone is arrested? That’s what.

Plenty of new recruits from all the people who lost family in the bombings.

Indeed.

You mean reserve?

The Best PeerTube Frontends are Mastodon and Lemmy

The fascinating thing about PeerTube right now is that the frontend experience actually seems to be best on other services. This is primarily because discoverability between instances is fairly poor due to both federation mechanics and due to the nature of bootstrapping social. Because Lemmy and Mastodon feature their own human...

Why does P2P suck? It’s not bandwidth that’s the issue, it’s storage.

Over 10 Years After It Was Announced, Star Citizen’s Single-Player Squadron 42 Is ‘Feature Complete’ - IGN (www.ign.com)

Over 10 Years After It Was Announced, Star Citizen’s Single-Player Squadron 42 Is ‘Feature Complete’ - IGN::Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games has said Squadron 42, the single-player portion of its controversial space sim, is finally “feature complete”, over a decade after it was announced.

Coming soon

meldrik ,

Does anyone know if it’s possible to setup I2P on a local server and then point to that, when setting up the proxy settings in Firefox from your PC?

meldrik ,

Thanks, that sounds awesome. This would also allow me to run I2P 24/7, helping the network, instead of having my PC run all the time.

meldrik ,

It’s all the images being cached from other servers. If you haven’t uploaded any images to your instance, you can just delete the content of the pictrs folder.

meldrik ,

Wasn’t it a single user instance?

meldrik ,

Then you would also have to delete those images. Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to delete the cache of images that pictrs stores :(

meldrik ,

What PeerTube lacks is content creators. There is tilvids.com, but a lot of the content is just mirrored from YouTube and running a PeerTube instance can be expensive.

meldrik ,

It’s the people who also made PeerTube, that’s behind this. It can only be good.

meldrik ,

I think Mobilizon is very country and local specific. What I mean is, most groups I’m a member of on Facebook, is local community groups or very niche groups for people from my country.

So it makes sense that there’s not an international Mobilizon instance.
