Just updated my #Peertube Instance via #Yunohost to v7.1.

And with the update going fully smooth, I donated to both Framasoft and Yunohost.

Well publishing doesn't cost a lot of time / effort, does it? (sorry if I'm wrong)
So my question would be, why NOT to publish?

ohhh! I just noticed #peertube supports remote runners for transcoding that can even run on my home computer!

When I uploaded my videos recently, I noticed that my (very small) VPC is hitting its limits with transcoding.

For the next videos (or for recoding), I'll try to setup a remote runner on my PC!

When I started my "mastodon-experiment" I always heard "there's hardly anyone there", "noone knows it" ...

Almost 2 years later I'm spending a considerable amount of time here with you and I enjoy it WAYS MORE than on any other platform before.

Thanks all of you for being here. And welcome to all the new people around!

👍👍

@dansup 100%!
Bad code can be written in any language ... (like I can take bad photos with ANY camera)

As a user, I care about usabaility and stability. Keep up the good work mate!

@_elena
I can't speak for others but the details you are sharing are like a behind-the-scenes and thus it's interesting for me. I'd appreciate if you continue

@_elena
I'm really curious!

@Gargron happy birthday!

@_elena ohh Thank you. Maybe we're all a bit to overcritical to ourselfes. But that'S a way to grow, too.

About the timeline: oh okay, got it! My filter lists also grew QUITE a bit the last couple of days. An inaugration there, upcoming elections here. But the filters definitely help A LOT

@_elena thank you so much Elena. Yes they're not too bad - but ... I know it could be ways better. This isn't phishing for compliments - it's about my level of expectations towards my own photography. - Or maybe I've been there too often and know how it *could* be.

Uhm what exacly are you referring to by the "timeline clense" if I may ask?

I just went through my #photos from yesterday and - unfortunately - none of them REALLY worked out the way I wanted. I somehow knew it already on location because it's a difficult season:

The snow melting and leaving a lot of brown patches, a clear blue sky with lots of sun, which is nice for me to see - but not for a cool photo. - BUT it was a good hike, that's what I have to keep repeating to myself

Can you please stop? You're putting pressure on me to finally try peertube hosting myself 😉

@_elena I really love how you focus on the value without going into protocol/techy-details.

I just told a cousin of mine to use Feedly so she could follow my blog's RSS plus also her favourite news pages. In the browser AND mobile

She was happy and totally eager to try it.

Heyo! This is the last #photo from our October vacation in the Bavarian Forest.

I hardly experience such a lighting when I'm out in the woods - so you can imagine that I was REALLY excited when I saw this.

I took quite a couple of photos, hoping that one would turn out well. And ... I really love how this turned out! This is probably THE memory for the vacation

@_elena nono Elena. You did everything right. I should have (double) checked my settings before

@_elena
Ah! It worked. Well typical user problem it seems.

@_elena not yet, I just did a search in the Mastodon-UI:

AAAHHH WAIT! Why is my setting on "Age Threshold: 1 year"?
I was sure I set it to 6 months. I'm setting it (again?) now. Let's see...
