I am the administrator of “What the Fediverse”, which includes:

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

meldrik ,

You can disable P2P.

You will only see content from other instances, if your instance federates with them.

However, some instances allow “global search”, which means you can practically find everything through search, from all the other instances.

It’s also possible to subscribe to channels from other instances, even though your instance does not federate with said instance.

If you go to the About > Network page, you can see which instances is federated with yours.

This is how the settings look like for a PeerTube admin, regarding global search and subscribing to remote channels:

Who need that much storage on their phone? Honestly asking.

meldrik ,

That make sense. Thanks.

meldrik ,

What do you use all that storage for?

meldrik ,

Thanks. That sounds pretty cool.

Just learned about Revolt.chat. It looks to have great potential. It’s basically a Discord clone.

meldrik ,

It doesn’t work if you use iCloud or a custom domain with iCloud.

I ended up using Protonmail.

meldrik ,

Can’t find the answer via a search engine though. You first have to find out where to look for the answer, before you can ask it.

meldrik ,

Matrix is great at what it does, but it’s not a replacement for Discord imho.

meldrik ,

Couldn’t agree more. Revolt is still in it’s infancy, but it has great potential.

A major reason that Windows is “popular” is because it’s pre-installed on desktops and laptops. Users don’t have a choice when they go to the store to buy a laptop for doing banking stuff or save pictures from their old camcorder.

It’s the same way with browsers. IE was “popular”, but only because that was the browser that was pre-installed on Windows. The IE browser was complete shit.

meldrik ,

That’s not the segment I am talking about. I’m talking about “regular folks”, who know nothing about IT, but need a laptop for whatever reason. Checking their bank, mail… That’s the majority of Windows users. Not the PC builder. They probably don’t even know what “Windows” is, if you asked them.

If Linux were pre-installed on PC’s, most people wouldn’t even notice a difference, because all they need is a browser and maybe an office suite, for very simple work.

meldrik ,

What needs to happen is that all the laptop makers, HP, Lenovo Acer etc. start having Linux pre-installed on their laptops in the stores. That probably won’t happen, as I imagine that Microsoft pays these companies to sell their laptops with Windows on them.

meldrik ,

What’s your issue with Cider, if you don’t mind me asking?

meldrik ,

I think you are partially right, but I think the only reason Windows is easier for the user, is because they are pre-exposed to Windows.

If you took someone, who has zero knowledge of any OS or its GUI, I honestly doubt that Windows would be better.

It’s the same if you take a person who has only known MacOS their whole life and ask them to navigate in Windows… or vice versa… You won’t see positive results.

What do you mean by safe?

Tragic how the abused has become the abuser.

meldrik ,

I see it as an opportunity to tell people on Threads to leave Threads and use an open platform, such as Mastodon, instead. Then eventually Threads will shut down, because everyone moved :D

meldrik ,

It’s going to be awesome when we get an official PeerTube app for Android and iOS!

meldrik ,

Well, the OPi Zero 3 only has USB 2, which is slow.

You could attach something like this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403740942791?hash=item5e00d5e1…

Don’t expect it to be fast.

meldrik ,

Who are they?

meldrik ,

No, you cannot.

meldrik ,

Give them a trip to Auschwitz in Poland and they’ll soon believe it existed.

meldrik ,

What do you actually think? 🤔 Field trip.

meldrik OP ,

Time will tell 😁

meldrik ,

It really should.

meldrik ,

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

meldrik ,

True, could be nice to see data on content consumers, and not just the content creators.

meldrik ,

That’s crazy! User/month goes from only 7.5k active to 27.8k. And that’s just people voting. What about people who only read a post?

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?

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 ,

I would recommend you use this list: instances.joinpeertube.org

You should use an instance that has enabled global search and uses search.joinpeertube.org. This way, you can find content, even though the instances is not federated.

Also, TILvids and Blender Videos are instances for specific videos, for “general purpose” instances to follow. Most of the above instances also use very old versions of PeerTube. We are at verison 6.0 now. So I think they might be inactive, therefore not following more instances.

Here’s an instance that does follow spectra.video > peertube.wtf (my instance), but I also only follow a select few instances, because there is a lot of crap being uploaded to the videoverse and that just makes for a worse experience.

There is nothing however that would keep you from searching for or following any channel, on peertube.wtf because global search is enabled.

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? 😅

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.
