I like the webring idea but I would hope finding the right server would be automated, clicking through thousands of servers sounds exhausting.

So, did a LLM write this story?

How hard are the concept of uploading to more than one platform and dogfeeding selfhosting to understand.

The thing is people always talk about there being not enough content on peertube but then nobody uploads their videos to it even if they have an instance. And on top of it, there is a easy way to synchronize your YouTube and PeerTube channel too if you insist to keep using YouTube for uploading, just add your YouTube channel URL to your PeerTube channel and tell it to synchronize, that’s it, it will do it for you. But for some reason the self hosting YouTubers can’t be bothered with that?

Most of the views would be still in YouTube anyway, and those tremendous amounts are not that big because with PeerTube you share the bandwidth with other instances and even other clients (source: I’m running my own instance).

So they do have a PeerTube instance, just chose not to upload anything to it?

They could always upload a copy to YouTube to reach the rest also.

So why are the videos not self hosted?

I think most people do a version of it. That’s the whole point of smoking breaks too I think.

Oh god yes, much much easier and without the need of docker and things.

I hosted one Lemmy instance but it is optimized to run thousands of users, I an only one user so the overhead was a lot. As much in fact that it constantly used all the resources on my server so that the other services I run on it stopped working.

PieFed uses much less resources when running as a single user instance like mine. This is why I chose to switch. And now it runs fine on my small server together with all the other services.

So it’s for everyone even people like me who aren’t celebrities? I’m thinking the most interesting thing about me is probably that I have three passports and live in my fourth country, restarting everything every time I move. Would that be something for a AMA?

It’s a similar software as Lemmy and MBin, but it is written in python: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi

It’s compatible with the Threadyverse, therefore you can read what I’m writing.

I moved to Korea and started posting on r/Korea. I recorded a video of a big fire in Seoul, and because I couldn’t find any news about it I uploaded it to my peertube instance and linked it on r/Korea.

The mods banned me for promoting my own website and said I should have uploaded it to YouTube.

So that resource was gone which was a bummer for me who just moved across the world and didn’t speak Korean. That was my main reason to use reddit.

I already hosted mastodon and when the 3rd party amargeddon happened I heard about Lemmy. I was hoping that there would be a vibrant Korea community which never happened.

But somehow the UX is much better than on mastodon so I stayed. Later I switched the software from Lemmy to PieFed though.

Fun fact 2: His dad did not get sent to a labour camp.

So that sounds all nice, why the change from the yesteryears?

It really depends for what. I don’t think nginx config should be in $HOME/.conf/

No I haven’t. I also don’t think the past was as great as you describe, compared to the present.

When I was 3 we had martial law in Poland which was upheld for years. My parents struggled to buy land because they weren’t in the party, they could only buy my grandfathers old car which was breaking down ever second time we went anywhere.

Now that my son is 2 we got martial law in South Korea, but people fought for democracy and it was gone after 6 hours.

Because I only have one life I’m trying to get the best out of it. I switched the environment a couple of time in my life and had to start from scratch. But I never had to go to war, neither did my father, while before that every generation had a war in their country.

I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s good enough not to think about going rogue from society.
