- Comment on Is there a way I can easily set up my own federated instance for free or no? 1 week 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? 2 weeks 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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! 1 month ago:
Doesn’t work with all yet though. At least not on iOS 😭
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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?
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 2 months ago:
I’m just used to the “/s” for when something is written sarcastically.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 2 months ago:
/s?
There’s Mastodon and a ton of others.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 2 months ago:
10 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD
That doesn’t sound cheap though and it would become more expensive over time, right?

If only there was a decentralised alternative, that was more or less immune to this… LOL
