@guillaume Merci aussi et bravo pour la maj !

@driusan

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 🤞

@Natanox @alternativeto More details here : https://framablog.org/2023/11/28/peertube-v6-is-out-and-powered-by-your-ideas/

In short, HLS has powered p2p streaming via WebRTC since PeerTube v3 (3 years ago), and it has been introduced to get p2p video livestreaming (Webtorrent wasn't adapted to that usecase).

So, as @librecast, we still are using WebRTC for our lives (we just settled on one of the 2 ways we used to do it).

I hope that's clear!

@Joris

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.

@millie @Mehrad Glad you had a good laugh 🥰

@alternativeto

Thank you so much for this great summary!

@booteille @ContentConsumer9999 That, and (obviously), we always toot several times our new blogposts 😉

@Lamaskier

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.

@clacke @olivierm

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 😊

@Blort

Hi there !

Well, now you do 🥰

(thanks for the shout out).

@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.

@ContentConsumer9999 @Mehrad

We plan to develop both our PeerTube Newsletter and our mastodon account in order to promote the whole PeerTube ecosystem (so many instances, creators, contributions, side projects, etc... that are amazing and would deserve some spotlight.)

We'll announce our plans for the future in a future blogpost, in 2 weeks ;).

@Joris

That is so gentil, merci a lot ! ❤️

@Paradox

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 !

@Mehrad

You have no idea how hard it is, and I should know: it's part of my job 😉

@Joris
That's not normal, at the very least it should display you browser langage...

Thanks, we'll look into it !

@Mehrad

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).

@Mehrad

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!

@olivierm µ

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.

@vampire_lord_red_fang Yes: it is described in the blogpost!
