PeerTube
We need your help to ensure that #PeerTube (and all the actions of our not-for-profit) won't be funded solely by donations from the French speaking community!
We've got 5 weeks left to raise our 2024 budget: spread the word!

@peertube can you go more detail about the password protected video
PeerTube
@vampire_lord_red_fang Yes: it is described in the blogpost!
PeerTube
In short: there is still P2P, suppoted by HLS.
Longer answer: as it is mentioned in the blog post, we stopped supporting webtorrent to focus on HLS.
HLS is the technology that allows P2P streaming, especially for livestreams.
Both technologies were supported by PeerTube since v2.something, it was redundant and created technological debt, so we decided to settle it.
Olivier
@peertube I've read you removed WebTorrent. Does that mean that there isn't P2P anymore?
PeerTube
Thanks for the agressive feedback.
Our only English-first project is PeerTube. That's why if you subscribe to the PeerTube Newsletter, you'll receive it in English (with a French translation below): https://joinpeertube.org/news
The Framasoft Newsletter is 4 to 6 emails/year. Is it fair to call it flooding?
But the important think is: if you are not happy with who we are (we are not native in English, c'est la vie !) and what we do, it is important you stop giving us money!
Mehrad :kde: :emacs: :rstats:
@peertube
Why do you think only french speaking people donate to you? Here is a reason: because you take the money and then overload our mailboxes with french emails. I donated previously and everything was, and still is, in french. To the extent that even the URL you shared is in french! "Soutenir.framasoft.org" indtead of "sustain.faramsoft.org".
I genuinely am highly disappointed that my donation meant I will be exclusively sent emails only in french! This is bad PR from you.
PeerTube
To us, it is all about trust.
You obviously don't trust us to reach your standards, and I (hi I'm Pouhiou) think that those standards are not adapted to Framasoft, meaning that I don't think we will earn your trust in the future (look at https://support.framasoft.org, it exists, an redirect to "soutenir", so it is not really what you'd expect).
As a rule of thumb, we all should not donate to collectives we don't trust. And we should feel free (to trust, not trust, and be who we are).
PeerTube
@Joris
That's not normal, at the very least it should display you browser langage...
Thanks, we'll look into it !
Joris (DWizzy)
@peertube For some ironic reason, it redirected me to the French page instead of
https://soutenir.framasoft.org/en/
even though my browser sent 'accept-language: en-UK,en;q=0.5'
PeerTube
You have no idea how hard it is, and I should know: it's part of my job 😉
Mehrad :kde: :emacs: :rstats:
@peertube
I donate because I believe in your cause. But yes, I believe #framasoft attitude toward non-french speaking donors is rude.
How hard is it to translate those "4 to 6 emails/year" to English? How hard? Almost zero. You can send it to libretranslate, get the text, proof read it twice and you're done!
PeerTube
PeerTube is not a single website, but a federation of several videoplatforms.
There are videos in many langages, he host a search engine here : https://sepiasearch.org/
We are currently working on improving the search and recommandations engine to better support langages.
Before translating videos, we need speech-to-text transcription. We are in contact with contributors who want to bring such a feature to PeerTube so... finger crossed !
Paradox
@peertube Since this is an international site, there are difficulties in viewing videos from foreign authors (in English).
Are there plans to translate and dub the videos, at least with subtitles, but better speech synthesis?
PeerTube
That is so gentil, merci a lot ! ❤️
Joris (DWizzy)
@peertube thanks, I soutenired!
clacke
@peertube Is that P2P HLS over WebRTC? Is that a thing?
clacke
Yes, it is! Cool, TIL.

@peertube Having the same fragments for S2C and P2P makes a lot of sense.

@Mehrad
In a perfect world with infinite money, time and energy that would be right.
In our world, your uninformed remarks done without an ounce of empathy or without just asking how or why we proceed such way... will only have the effect of injonctions that would lead people to burnout.
I understand you are a good person, with the good intention of giving good advice.
But the way you deliver it can lead to the opposite, and that would be sad.
Mehrad :kde: :emacs: :rstats:
@peertube
As you know (because it is part of you job), there is no excuse for bad PR. A good PR representative would have convey this opinion to the board to adjust policies, but hey, no expectations here 😉 Keep up the "good" work, but stop complaining why only french-speaking people participate in your campaigns.
Just a funny remark:

Just do it
PeerTube
HLS was necessary for livestreaming in p2p, and...
(spoilers)
...focusing on it will unlock new possibilities, that we'll announce, along with the 2024 roadmap, in 2 weeks 😊
PeerTube
it really depends on your content, how often you publish, if you do live-streams, etc.
We have a tool that might help you find an instance here : https://joinpeertube.org/instances
But it is far from perfect, and lowering the step on finding one's instance is one of our future challenges.
And a good rule with web hosting: thinking about trust (who would you trust to host your content, who would you trust as a "digital landlord"?), can help with finding the right one.
Lamaskier.wtf
@peertube I tried 3 different instances of peertube a few years ago. In favour to leave YouTube behind. But my videos disappeared within 24 hours from all 3 instances. I mean tried 1 disappeared went to the 2nd instance same thing. And same on the 3rd. How can I choose a good and reliable instance?
PeerTube
millie
@peertube@framapiaf.org @Mehrad@fosstodon.org You definitely should not be in PR 😆
PeerTube
Looks like the default setting when you don't enter any contact info (or check the "anonymous donation" option).
We left it a that as we don't need (nor want) to log infos on such donations.
Joris (DWizzy)
@peertube still a way to go in internationalisation
PeerTube
Alors c'est très gentil et c'est super OK, il n'y a pas à être désolé·e, hein !
Notre modèle solidaire, basé sur le don, a permis pendant des années que Framasoft puisse proposer ses outils à tout le monde, grâce au financement d'une petite partie de ces bénéficiaires, celles et ceux qui peuvent et le veulent.
On croise les doigts, mais on ne voit pas pourquoi cette solidarité faillirait cette année 🤞
Dave MacFarlane
@peertube@framapiaf.org désolé. Je ne peux pas vous aider.
PeerTube
@justin I wonder if our Instance redundancy feature would match with what you need/want?

-- Pouhiou
Justin
@peertube I have wondered for a while if there's a way for me to run a peertube client from a server as a web-seed of sorts for videos.
PeerTube
You are right, (and its done) thank you for the feedback !
Antoine D. :facil:
@peertube Maybe you should replace the link given with the one for English:
https://soutenir.framasoft.org/en/
PeerTube
@haui That is very nice of you!
(And, truth be told, such a project couldn't be a megacorp video... It would benefit from such means but would also be limited by those economic models... But that's too bug a hole for a small side note 😅 )
Anyway, we're very proud of our paid devs (now there are two!) and incredible community.
haui
@peertube this is an insanely great piece of software and I‘m baffled that it is not a megacorp product.
Framasoft
Yes, obviously, and we are fine with that, as most of our projects are limited to French speaking audiences by design (we don't know how to write a MOOC for non-profits in Hindi, nor how to moderate in German).
Nor are we "reproaching" the lack of donations from the English speaking community (that would be... yuck).
The consequence is that our one international project, @peertube, is mainly funded by Frenchies. We try to informe about it and change that 😉
Juan Luis
@peertube Most of @Framasoft sites are half translated or not translated at all, at the bottom of the support page there's a subscribe form for a French-only newsletter, and so on. Sure translation services exist, but these hints send the message that Frama caters first and foremost to the French-speaking community. Which is completely fine, but might explain the donations origin.
