Today on Dwarf Fortress: The Sinister Start in the Plane of Myth, my citizens has a sad! 😢
I keep sending them outside to build the outside fort and they are getting fed up. But not to worry, I finished the roof so now they con complete their work in a smelly goo-free environment. Or, at least until I decide to build the fishing hut.
I'm not a fan of YouTube,
and certainly not of Google (as you might have noticed...), but one thing I'm addicted to YouTube for is instrumental long playlists of music to work.
I. Need. It :blobcatheadphones:​🎵​
Since I'm always looking for new ways to deGooglelify my life:
Do you know of any PeerTube equivalent for this?
Are there any instrumental long playlists/mixes for work on any PeerTube instances?
Or maybe another Fediverse platform would be preferable for this?
So I talked to someone representing the developers of #PeerTube this morning about the mobile app they are working on in 2024.
They asked me a bunch of questions about usability and my expectations and a bunch of other questions.
The one thing that I kept trying to bring to their attention was that building an app that only let's you watch videos and download them was a waste of time if they didn't include something that content creators could find useful.
We are in the process of developing a mobile application in 2024 🎉 :peertube:
Before starting the technical development, we felt it was important to understand the expectations of people who are watching #PeerTube videos.
We're looking for a few people to take part in a short 30 minutes video conference during the week of 15-19 January to find out more about your needs and opinions regarding the adaptation of PeerTube as a mobile application.
We tried to simulate 1000 viewers on a #PeerTube video, and then on a livestream. (Note that 99% of twitch livestreams are under 1000 simultaneous views.)
We optimized accordingly... And here are the results: it works!
With a ~20$ server, PeerTube can now support such usecases.
While Mastodon is quite a lively place, my attempts with #peertube were disappointing. Did I start on the wrong instance?
Youtube has a lot of interesting content, and I pay them to get rid of ads. They collect revenue and share some of it with the creators. That allows them to sustain an ecosystem, where independent creators can make a living from their uploads. Also, they get on my nerves by suggesting a lot of right-wing videos, and by making me pay to suppress ads. Advice?
The last 10 days have been a whirlwind for the #fediverse. Important new versions of @mammoth and @ivory launched. Wordpress and Tumblr reaffirmed their commitment to ActivityPub. And Threads and Flipboard began to federate. What does this all mean for the fediverse? How will moderation work? Who will be next to federate?
I'm excited to let you know that we have stood up our very own #PeerTube instance. This is so cool. We've posted all the videos for my Dot Social podcast. We also posted our original Flipboard launch video for fun.
Wow #Fediverse, thanks for the help! I am genuinely surprised at how close the results were. It looks like the recommendation is to try out the #Threadiverse (#Kbin and / or #Lemmy) first - but only by 1.8% over #Peertube! Y'all must know that I've been getting frustrated with #Reddit lately. I also appreciate the recommendations for other things to explore.
Now the question is Kbin or Lemmy? Or both? (any thoughts?)
Tutaj można zasubskrybować ten kanał w #Fedi, bo #PeerTube działa w federacji więc i z #Mastodon: @fruktozaur_main
A jeśli chcecie jedynie korzystać z istniejącego Invidious, to jest wiele instancji, w tym https://yt.elonego.com, w której jakoś maczam palce 😉
To clarify -- the below feature lets you use the same credentials for PixelFed to create a new PixelFed account, importing your avatar, bio and followed accounts.
ORIGINAL:
Apparently, it is possible to use one's Mastodon account to log into Pixelfed. Is it possible to do that with Bookwyrm and Peertube? I'd like to have a seamless login instead of having to create separate accounts for each service I want to use:
Since video hosting requires so many more resources than image hosting, I have these questions about #PeerTube :
What are the hosting costs of PeerTube instances?
How do these instances deal with financing themselves?
As I understand it, if a Fediverse user views content from a different instance, then this content will be downloaded to their own instance. Is this understanding correct?
If so, is this also true for PeerTube videos - which means that, say, a Mastodon user following a PeerTube account will cause a lot of additional load (and thus hosting costs) for their home instance?
I just noticed I missed this pretty massive tidbit of information from @joinpeertube regarding the roadmap for #PeerTube
"…Official PeerTube mobile application (end of 2024)"
:amaze:
This has been a long-requested development from the PeerTube community, and something I hear from our #tilvids community all the time. What an exciting development from an amazing organization! 🙌
I am looking for sources for watching science documentaries (NOVA, Nature, National Geographic, BBC Earth... And other awesome stuff I probably don't even know about) that isn't via YouTube. I am fed up with their unrelenting greed.
So need suggestions on doc-heavy streaming services, and/or a #peerTube buddy to help me find stuff if it's there, and/or advice on an applebox app that filters out these unrelenting intrusive ads on YouTube. 😤
It looks like #Peertube is getting some free press lately, so now is a good time to let everybody know again that I have a peertube instance at https://video.surazal.net
My main account is at @zalasur which you can follow from Mastodon.
I do mainly live streams there but I also upload my canning and fractal zoom videos as well, and whatever else I feel like doing 😄
