@dansup @loops why not.... should help stir up some comments (good and bad!)

@Gargron Congrats!

@dansup perhaps it's time to go back to simplicity - chronological feed of your friends, pure, simple and easy

@dansup I have posted about the progress but if you need any help or beta testing just shout!

@dansup @pixelfed will you be managing the s3 setting from dashboard as well?

@aral no guesses what org or person then....

@Gargron I noticed straight away and I like it!

@Gargron Apple have, and always will be, a terrible company who think they are way above everybody else....

@youseeatortoise time to self-host it somehow!

@youseeatortoise also if you need help to do so, well then I'm here ;)

@pfefferle @weirdwriter @mitexleo @evan updated today on my self-hosted blogs/websites

I have just watched the peertube live AMA and it is a great watch for anyone interested in the fediverse and how things will move forward

Anyone interested in peertube and development you are welcome to follow me and I'll follow back!

@Bindestriche @Mrfunkedude @peertube that is hardly the fault of the platform though is it? An instance can ban those sort of things but that is up to the admin and whilst you might not agree about it surely it is also free speech which is a massive part of the fediverse ie no censoring or pushing content it wants you to see

@phiofx androids problem with music and sound is simple.It sucks big time. With so many different combinations and manufacturers and versions of Android it will never be like it is on iOS with its tightly controlled ecosystem. So people simply don't bother

@feditips @jarocats this is it. I'm not knocking peertube, it is fantastic and a a great product. But video has changed a lot even in 2023. And as you just said the traffic simply isn't there compared to things like youtube, vimeo, tiktok even - all of which rely on ads. As it grows we shall see - and at the moment it is grwoing but slowly. V6 and password protection will make it a much better way to get a revenue stream. Onwards and upwards! Mastodon needs groups as well to flourish

@feditips @jarocats how often do you think that happens in the real world? And that is what I mean... the peertube animation and most of the documentation is outdated in many ways. I'm not knocking it...but in practice it doesn't happen often enough any more.

@feditips @jarocats yep get that - but in practice it rarely happens.It's really really rare in fact, they need to be watching the same video in roughly the same time etc. It helps but not as much as you think, if you check the packets of data 99% come from the originating peertube instance. There isn't time to go into why it happens, we would be here for ages but believe me you are contributing very little in bandwidth to other peertube instances. Peertube has evolved beyond p2p

@feditips @jarocats Don't get me wrong - I understand what you are saying, but most instances now use transcoding. Once you enable transcoding then p2p is not used very much as hls doesn't really work like that. You'd have to have a copy on your server of the video for it to be a real p2p transfer. You have share videos enabled but that's not p2p because you and most instances have transcoding enabled. When peertube moved to hls streaming a lot of p2p was made redundant.

@feditips @jarocats also you seem to be confusing p2p and federated videos. You federate a lot of videos they don't necessarily use p2p. Federation and p2p on peertube are different. Most videos playback using hls and that is not p2p, but coming from the host instance. That is why you are not seeing huge costs

@feditips @jarocats the p2p functionality changed back in v5. This has been mentioned by the devs loads of times, the p2p functionality isn't being removed but as most instances don't do it - yours included as you only host 185 mb of content on your peertube instance which is to be frank really really low I can't see how you have relevant experience to comment fully. Running an instance with a low amount of content isn't what I am talking about. My instance has 66 gig of content!
