@LaQuadrature Hey folks, quick question: any idea why the embed of my video at the European Parliament from your PeerTube instance is showing a password field and lock. (I’m on my phone and haven’t had a chance to view source.) Would appreciate it if you could take a look. Thank you :)

The PeerTube search (sepiaserach is amazing!
On Firefox you can create a "keyword search" for videos by right-clicking the search bar. You'll want to edit the bookmark to change to search string to: https://sepiasearch.org/search?search=%s&&sort=-createdAt which gives you a full PeerTube search just a few keypresses away.
Amazing for discovering new people who self-host.

Active federation between instances mostly just affects Discovery and Redundancy

The latest PeerTube release candidate appears to have finally resolved the object store issue that's been blocking me for months

Just a reminder, third-parties are the only parties do not support Israel's genocide on Palestine and their war of aggression throughout the middle east. Both Trump and Biden have been the biggest supporters of Israel.. Anything other than a third-party vote this year is a vote in favor of genocide.

This is why we will win (if ever fully federates). Over time, people will recognize that algos and ads serve the interests of the platform owners (and maybe the top .0001% of most popular accounts) over those of the users. Your time on social media can be spent seeing stuff from the people you follow (and what they boost), or what the platform owner decides you should see. What you want is not what they want. Given a choice and no lock-in, people will move here.

Can be made to work with as well as ? Then podcatchers could work like a client, allowing us to interact directly via comments, favorites and spreading around the best episodes via boosts.

update: it exists but no podcatcher fully supports it yet.

podcast hosting supports all those features currently thanks to @agates
I would assume does as well, but haven't tested it myself.

has the licencing selected on a per-video basis, the RSS tag podcast:license is on a per-channel basis.

Added ability to select an overall license for a channel and surface that in the channel RSS feed.

I've found a lot of flakiness in activity pub comment threads between PeerTube and Mastodon alone, with each federated instance having random seeming replies and sub threads missing. Past behaviour may make malice an easy assumption, but for something like this with new software, bugginess or misguided implementation is much more likely.

gabriel, to random

Do and overlap at all?
Is there a torrent client that can seed both? I've seen a couple of unresolved issues on clients like qbittorrent, but I'm wondering if there's one people use.
Same question, but also for the tracker side, is there tracker software that both clients can talk to?

errhead,

@gabriel not in my experience, but I stopped checking after PeerTube dropped webtorrent support so there may have finally been a breakthrough.

errhead,

@gabriel
This thread contains steps for building a version of libtorrent that supposedly supports torrents and webtorrents. I never tested it myself.

Something exciting today. It's now possible to zap on the Fediverse! ⚡ ⚡ ⚡ You can zap users on Nostr! You can zap users on Mastodon/Pleroma/ActivityPub! Let the sats flow!!!

https://soapbox.pub/blog/mostr-zaps/

Check it out and get set up to send and receive MONEY across the Fediverse for your shitposts.

This works thanks to the Mostr Bridge + Zapple Pay, an amazing result of Apple banning zaps on Damus. Who would have thought?

Enjoy!

errhead,

@alex How are you getting the payment address, via API call or via Activitypub? Currently PeerTube Lightning cross app comment zaps get the remote address from API calls to mastodon/soapbox, and exposes payment info using the well-known/lunurlp and keysend for the user's Activitypub address. To work on adding recieving compatibility with this payment method I'll probably need to get @Chocobozzz to add another hook to the plugin API so I want to make sure I'm adding the info in the right place.

errhead,

@alex @Chocobozzz The main advantage to the well-known exposure method is it turns the activitypub address into a passthrough lightning address. You can send a payment to errhead@freediverse.com and it goes to the lightning address I have configured on that PeerTube instance.

I'm not decided on whether we need regulation, but the comes down to the squeezing of people (and especially kids which you can't exclude effectively without serious privacy issues) for profit. Corporate platforms with ads & algorithms pervert the healthy conversations we have without them. Making all that impossible with decentralization via open protocols is the solution. Yet I still don't see any discussion of this in mass media or Congress. So utterly frustrating.

errhead,

@wjmaggos

you can't easily shake down decentralized open social media for campaign contributions so it's outside of congresses acceptable solutions.

So was supposed to be my alternative.

They turned me down.

So what's the alternative to Peertube?

errhead,

@lps @Gustodon

Finding a compatible instance that allows registration and uploads via that tool seems to block a lot of people.

Haven't figured out a good hashtag yet, but I think it would work better for a creator to post what kind of content they create and what they're looking for from PeerTube so sysops and users can suggest relevant instances.

At the very least you're more likely to get an actively administered instance this way

2 biggest issues are lack of content due to YouTube's overwhelming network effect advantage and income from selling customer's data, and FUD about PeerTube self-hosting costs.

    ah, Sharetube is still back on 5.01, you don't have that feature yet.

    https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.podverse.fdroid/ is one of the better video podcast apps I've found and fully supports current PeerTube.

    Is there a good guide to ? What's a good app? What's a good way to discover content? For example, how would I find guitar equipment reviews/comparisons?

    errhead,

    @vwbusguy

    • content is orders of magnitude less than youtube, so you may not find what you're looking for.
    • Instance search is highly limited by federation. To search all of PeerTube you want to use https://sepiasearch.org/

    no great android apps yet, thorium, fedilab, newpipe, and grayjay are the best options I've found so far, all have failings. Framasoft has an official app on next years roadmap. Podcast apps have various levels of support when using a channel's RSS feed.

    Can you recommend PeerTube instances for publishing computing and tech videos? I mostly post screencasts about Lisp, retrocomputing, Android, and chromeOS like those on my YouTube channel:

    https://www.youtube.com/paoloamoroso

    I know TILvids but they seem to have some kind of editorial control over or collaboration with creators, or otherwise require vetting for posting. And my videos are not necessarily howtos.

    errhead,

    @amoroso

    https://scitech.video sounds like good match:

    Welcome to scitech.video, a PeerTube server for anything technical! Power users, programmers, hackers, makers, scientists, tinkerers, radio operators, free software enthusiasts or similar may host their videos here for free as part of the Fediverse.

    You can contact the administrator via email (admin@scitech.video).

    Coming in 2024

    V4V based, multiply redundant object store with decentralized CDN for PeerTube self-hosters. Removes 99% of the bandwidth costs of media hosting, as well as the storage costs of online hosting.

    Scored some good year contract server deals on black friday to set this up.

    Using SeaweedFS and PeerTube. Open Source all the way down

    Happy to help anyone wanting to setup their own SeaweedFS or CDN federation for PeerTube as well, decentralization is the way.

    Hoo boy, it looks like I'll be going an upgrade of my instance soon. Probably this weekend? Well see how it goes. I'll have to make sure I do a backup of my postgres database too. 😅

    Conveniently, the first thing the update script does is make a backup of the postgresql database.
