Mastodon and Peertube: EU closing up shop in Fediverse because nobody wants to run servers

> Pretty much exactly two years ago, the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) started two services in the Fediverse as pilot projects: EU Voice, based on , and EU Video, based on , were supposed to be “alternative, privacy-friendly and user-focused” social media platforms for the institutions, bodies and offices.

#Peertube instance, https://my-sunshine.video, has been upgraded to V6.1.

Videos appear to stream more smoothly when watched on the web.

I had to disable the new account export feature, for now. It's very broken in the docker version and causes crashes.

The view count bumps up after 10 seconds in this version, instead of 30 seconds, which is good since a lot of posted videos are under 30-seconds.

Free to use for anyone who doesn't want advertisements on their videos.

Ms. Flock of Cats told me she showed my videos to my mother-in-law, whom she said was very impressed. ☺️

Luckily, I’m sure the narration referring to parsley as the green sticky icky and the importance of bamboo shoots having a flared base was lost in translation 😇

You probably didn't have an urge to know how deep fryers are cleaned. But this is where we are now.

Shshshshs....

The music is really good.

This weekend I have two streams planned.

Today: #DwarfFortress Volcano Embark, but with economic milestones cranked up to 10x their original values. This will likely make the game a little unbalanced, but that's OK. This is Dwarf Fortress. Unbalanced is how we roll.

Tomorrow: I have a technical stream planned. I'll be setting up a CMS that will be adding support for ActivityPub this year and I want to see how it works.

Let's play!

Oh and I just fixed the tape I have of Genesis at Wembley, including the part official recordings don't have due to the tape running out. Which funnily also effects my tape but I turned over quickly!

So there's In The Cage, In That Quiet Earth and Afterglow. Basically the only good songs they played on the set.

Gonna put this all on
Honestly thought this didn't exist... Makes me very hopeful about other things I might find!! :80spc:

growing pains: The smallish and instances I use have gotten big enough that handling all of the data is starting to cause issues, slowdowns and whatnot. The reality of distributed/federated computing coming home to roost?

notizie, (edited ) to fediverso Italian

I dati di maggio sul Fediverso italiano non sono confortanti

Ieri abbiamo dato un'occhiata ai dati mensili disponibili sul repository di @fediverseobserver e quello che abbiamo visto non è di certo un bel segnale per lo stato di salute del Fediverso.

@fediverso

In sostanza il Fediverso italiano, con 11.255 utenti attivi, perde quasi 400 utenti attivi rispetto al mese di aprile, ossia un 3,3%

Ricordiamo che per utente attivo si intende quello che ha avuto accesso alla piattaforma almeno una volta nell'ultimo mese! (grazie @treleonora per la domanda)

A questo bisogna aggiungere che tra le poche istanze che crescono, vi sono le nostre due istanze poliverso.org e poliversity.it, ma con una doverosa precisazione: negli scorsi giorni abbiamo avvisato gli utenti di queste due istanze per ricordare che elimineremo tutti gli account inattivi da più di sei mesi e questo ha provocato un certo risveglio tra alcuni utenti "dormienti". Non è affatto scontato tuttavia che questi utenti resteranno attivi anche durante il prossimo mese (ci rivediamo a giugno).

Qui la tabella con le istanze in crescita:

Qui invece la tabella con le istanze che hanno perso utenti in trmini percentuali:

@notizie al momento che siamo praticamente sconosciuti sicuramente no, ma un giorno chi lo sa, di una cosa però ne sono sicuro, se si continua cono sto atteggiamento di "protezione" e di chiusura verso praticamente tutto quello che non ci piace sicuramente non si va da nessuna parte. Un annetto fa un certo giornalista chiamato Michele Santoro cercava una piattaforma libera dove divulgare i propri contenuti e non avere rotture di balls in termini di censura da parte di You Tube, e non posso fare a meno di pensare che molti altri personaggi abbiano o abbiano avuto lo stesso problema, ma alla fine sono costretti ad optare per You Tube perché si ci guadagnano anche soldini dalle visualizzazioni, che si permettono prima di tutto di avere una vita agiata, ma anche di produrre contenuti di qualità, perché purtroppo e sottolineo purtroppo viviamo in un mondo di cacca, e tutto gira intorno ai soldi, indipendentemente se vuoi produrre per fini di lucro o fornire un servizio alla gente. Mi sono anche chiesto ( perché il fediverso mi piace tantissimo) cosa succederebbe se uno You Tuber facesse una Live qui su owncast o peertube, a parte i vari problemini tecnici che possono o non possono presentarsi, ma se si rischiano di avere uno sponsor non so fino a che punto gli abitanti del fediverso accetterebbero la cosa, almeno quelli più puristi. Morale della favola vogliamo che il fediverso si espanda? allora bisogna accettare qualcosina che non ci piace, altrimenti ci creiamo la nostra bolla perfetta e ci stiamo dove stiamo. Concludo dicendo che mancano anche le app ufficiali, su e ci siamo e tra poco anche su , ma per il resto si ci arrangia come si può , ovviamente le app non sono di primaria importanza, ma la loro mancanza da l'impressione di "servizio di seconda scelta" quindi scarso

Shoopdawhoop, update for davbot.media from my host should be pushed to their docker in the next 5 days after they do their update check over. I'd rather it take a little time, and someone with more experience than I, who also admins the host ensures it's a smooth flip first :D

If you need a space to post video, come apply. I get notified for approvals, and check em when I'm not working so the wait isn't too long. Or yell at me here heh.

I've been working on a subtitle editor plugin for !
It adds a extra button on the update video page, and can do most of what you find in other tools, like visualize audio, basic formatting, and makes it easy to switch language.
The goal is that it should be "good enough" for most who just want to add subtitles/captions, but don't want to spend time finding and downloading dedicated software for this.
Instance administrators can install it via the plugin page.

Screen recording of me opening the subtitle editor on a video about accessibility in Copenhagen. I demonstrate visualizing audio, panning, editing text in the english translation, and moving the start of the subtitle text.

: "Providing public services through infrastructures under the control of the public (e.g., through the decentralized approach of the fediverse) would operationalize the idea of building and securing Digital Public Spaces. On paper, policymakers have already embraced this concept, as indicated by the inclusion of a section on “Participation in the Digital Public Space” in the European Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles for the Digital Decade, which was adopted by EU co-legislators in late 2012.

The story of the EU’s Mastodon and Peertube servers is a litmus test for whether EU institutions are truly committed to the idea of a Digital Public Space and to addressing the challenge of a digital space dominated by a few corporations.

For all the talk of “digital sovereignty,” it would be unfortunate (to put it mildly) if the EU proved incapable of running a couple of servers to host a decentralized service and provide an alternative to its X and YouTube social media accounts."

@hikingdude_hiking

86 videos imported and set up to sync with youtube! https://video.infosec.exchange/c/hikingdude_hiking/videos

I guess #peertube had a new #hiking channel. Feel free to follow there. I'll try to also link new videos here as well... Well ... Maybe I need to get myself sorted with peertube.

Please excuse any experiments - I just (re)started this journey. Constructive tips are welcome of course!

Just installed on my Galaxy Tab. So far, everything works great and so much better without all the bloatware. I installed for handwritten notes and I'm happy with it as well.

Are there any apps you'd recommend for tablets?

caos,

@Merula If the question is still relevant:
Especially for tablets / larger screens, NewPipe would of course be important for watching #Youtube and #Peertube. Best to add the repo for faster updates
Then perhaps a launcher ?lang=en)that is better suited to tablets and maybe a special keyboard (e.g. Hackers was good for tablets, but is no longer being developed)
