Our pop-up channel for the FediVision 2024 voting period is live.

It's an alternative way you can hear the entrants if a linear format. It's on our main site below our regular channels.

Keep an eye on @announce and #Fedivision2024 for info, fun and light hearted lobbying.

To kickoff the voting period we'll have chat on for a bit as we are simulcasting our pop-up to the video/chat channel. The community will announce more hangouts fo the week.

Friendly reminder that RFF has a video channel.

https://party.radiofreefedi.net

We have used this for live performance streaming, discussions, video premiere parties, the new years fedi stream parade marathon and hopefully more you'd like to bring to the community!

If you have an idea for original programming live or recorded do DM. We have the venue and a global crew of rather friendly listeners if we're being honest 🥰

Did you see, thanks to @mxks, that there's a new way to browse the Owncast directory, and watch those live streams on Roku devices? It replaces the old, previously removed application. https://channelstore.roku.com/es-us/details/2179326b6b85869a1a3a18d48ca76de6/owncasts

You can learn more about it in this month's Owncast community newsletter. I always love reading it, and learning something new.

I won’t lie.

Using Owncast to livestream feels like being on a pirate radio station. No one looking over your shoulder. No advertisers to worry about offending.

Just you, and who’s ever watching.

At @FOSSBackstage learning way more than i expected from open-source. Great, friendly community! Took the chance of bringing @owncast too into the party, in the form of stickers

Bunch of stickers laid out on a small table. A big one that call out to attention about women in tech with a colorful illustration of women

hello there, fediverse!

I've been working for a while on this, so I decided I should share it with the intranet, world, whatever this is. I'm not expecting it to do a lot, since owncast is largely unknown in the sphere where this might be useful, but here goes, hopefully someone has some kind of use out of it

what is this?

This is a program that reads chats for you aloud, using your system's text to speech engine. For windows, that would be tolk, so your screenreader of choice, while for linux, that would be speech dispatcher.

is this scraping the page?

Well, no, not really. Instead, it's more like the owncast client itself. This works by joining the stream as a bot, viewing chat as it comes in, then forwarding it to your screenreader or speech dispatcher

how to use it?

  • compile it(no binaries this time, sorry!)
  • you run it once from the terminal, and it will tell you what to do
  • a new file, called settings.toml, will appear in your folder. The variable names are pretty self-explanatory, edit them and run the program again
  • enjoy!
  • to exit, do so with ctrl+c, don't mind the error exit code, it's fine, you're fine, the world is fine, blame cargo, tokio or something like that, ok?

contributions

send them not via email, but via a dm on here, or matrix @bgtlover:stealthy.club, as patch files

repository

sorry for no docs or anything, this was a codedump for a while now, so that's how it gotta be for a while longer. That being said, here's the thing

enjoy!

@owncast i'm even more appreciative of you now! Having started that #lemmy #owncast just a day ago, I've already been told by people obviously mich smarter tgan you or I how impossible owncast is. So now that we know that the software we're using, and you wrote, can't ever work, I guess we'll just pack it in huh? /s

Thank you again btw. People are insufferable and I'm sure you've already heard the garbage I'm getting and yet you trudge on. So thank you! You are appreciated.

Does anybody have any suggestions for managing their Vulnerability Disclosure Platform? I’ve probably mentioned it before, but Owncast used to rely on Huntr.dev, but they kicked everyone off to focus on AI, because of course they did. The GitHub version of this kind of thing sucks. I just got off a call with HackerOne and they quoted me $15,000. So right now people just email me directly and threaten me, and I don’t like this workflow.

Tonight makes three years I've been streaming with ; three years I haven't had a single issue with the streaming server, adaptive rate video player, and chat interface that I personally control; and three years I've been serving the music more than I serve platforms.

Come over and watch me try to contribute something with a fraction of the value lead dev Gabe and all contributors to the project have.

    One of the most amazing things about the Fediverse is that you can run your own services and set your own rules, building something that represents what is important to you.

    If you chose not to run your own software and services, and instead utilize services somebody else runs, it's unlikely you'll be 100% aligned with those who you rely on to run them for you. People are unique, and companies are... companies. It's impossible to be completely on the same page for everything. Therefore, you shouldn't be surprised when they decide not to offer you those services any longer for any reason they choose. Their house, their rules. They owe you nothing.

    I've relied on botsin.space to host the @owncast account for a while, but I only recently noticed it's been reduced to a restricted account. Their house, their rules.

    So my options are to run my own microblogging service for this single account, or take that functionality offline. If I run it, my service, my rules. But like anybody else, I have to weigh the pros and cons of running yet another service I need to maintain, and this time it's not personally worth it.

    Hopefully, this bot has been helpful in sharing live streams to those who wouldn't have normally seen them.

    While every server doesn't choose to be on the Fediverse, hopefully those who want to be shared with others decide to be. And if so, this bot isn't needed anymore, anyway.
