- Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good 5 days ago:
Because Google ads isn’t the only source of income nor the biggest.
- Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good 5 days ago:
Best you can do is ask some of these content creators to also post their videos to PeerTube.
PeerTube has built-in syncing of YouTube channels, so it’s fairly easy once it’s set up.

It’s all just part of their addons, so you choose yourself if you want AI. You can even choose to have local AI, if you don’t want to use an external AI, which I believe is ChatGPT.
- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 3 weeks ago:
The Hetzner Storage Share lacks a lot of features that Nextcloud IONOS have. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Hetzner has an office suite for Nextcloud?

- Comment on Is there a way I can easily set up my own federated instance for free or no? 5 weeks ago:
The software is free, but hardware is not. You could buy an old laptop or even something really cheap, like a ln Orange Pi Zero.

- Comment on Is there any good decentralized cloud storage for personal backups as a self-hoster? 1 month ago:
You can see the current median price here: siascan.com
The storage providers set their own prices and the renters set how much they want to pay.
Just storing data is very cheap at $1.51/TB.

I have used it before and it worked just fine. Just don’t use it for PeerTube 😅

- Comment on Are people blind on PeerTube? 2 months ago:
Yes. You can mirror videos from other instances. This also work as a kind of redundancy, if the PeerTube instance with the original video is down.
- Comment on Are people blind on PeerTube? 2 months ago:
PeerTube is a video sharing platform, just like YouTube or Vimeo. Videos you watch on PeerTube is hosted on a PeerTube instance.
- Comment on Are people blind on PeerTube? 2 months ago:
You are right, but the users also need to be watching the video at the same resolution. A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer.
- Comment on Are people blind on PeerTube? 2 months ago:
If multiple people are watching the same video, at the same resolution, it uses WebRTC (HLS P2P) to share data between them, saving bandwidth from the PeerTube instance.
A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer (seed) for another PeerTube instance.
- Comment on PeerTube App v1 is out! 2 months ago:
Doesn’t work with all yet though. At least not on iOS 😭
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Interesting. I’ve been thinking about something like this for instances that use PeerTube. People could donate storage to PeerTube instances.
- Comment on The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! Peertube 2 months ago:
Working with you UX experts? You mean like hire them? With what money?
Otherwise, the UX experts need to step up and volunteer their services, just like programmers do when they create FOSS.
- Comment on The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! Peertube 2 months ago:
What problem does Peertube solve beyond not being Youtube?
Content creators can be in total control of their content and the platform, while still being able to reach the wider audience on the Fediverse.
There’s also features such as being able to replace an already uploaded video and for some, they would be happy not having to play the “algorithm game”.

You can do things because you want to make a difference. A good difference. Not everything has to have an ulterior motive.

We just can’t have nice things…
- Comment on Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which? 2 months ago:
I use Lemmy and PeerTube. Host a version of both myself. I use Loops a little as well and will probably pick up Pixelfed at some point.
- Comment on Some things are a mystery ig ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2 months ago:
If you upload to PeerTube it embeds just fine on Lemmy.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 2 months ago:
Bluesky doesn’t work if the IP gets blocked in Turkey, but with Mastodon, you would have to ban every single IP from every Mastodon instance and potentially all other IPs on the Fediverse.
Let’s say Turkey blocks mastodon.social. Now people in Turkey can’t access Mastodon.social under normal circumstances, but they can still access fosstodon.org, mstdn.social etc. and access the content from Mastodon.social through those other sites.
Only issue could be media uploaded to Mastodon.social, that’s blocked, unless it has been cached by the website you use.

A medium ranged laptop can be rather expensive and how would you deal with upgrades or a dead drive?
