Good “centrist” Germans and bootlicking, name a more classic combo

The New York Times never fails to reveal its close adherence to its century-plus role as entertainment for the well-to-do who want to play in the trappings of intellectualism without ever having their status quo truly challenged.

Ah okay, this is what I was thinking of.

Sounds like Peertube admins can also proactively choose to mirror videos from other instances too?

Very nice. Would be cool to get some kind of massive user influx and see how well it does under load.

Thanks for doing this.

How does the p2p work? I thought there was a bittorrent-like aspect to it but what you’re describing sounds different.

As far as I know the p2p only potentially applies when >1 global users are watching a video simultaneously.

edit: am I wrong? I thought they had bittorrent-like swarming.

The text here is just copypasta about what Peertube is, not about the so-called v1 app.

Unfortunately, this reveals that one apparently still can’t upload or manage a channel from the mobile app 🤦🏻

one important aspect: it defrays the cost of hosting popular videos somewhat via a bittorrent-like mechanism. but as I understand it, they have to be popular enough that >1 person on the planet is watching them simultaneously for this to make a difference.

please tell me I can actually upload videos and, like, do anything at all with my channel now

edit: god dammit 🤦🏻

Thanks for calling out that it’s not The Mastodon Network™, no matter how much Gargron wishes ot were so.

Every massive influx from Twitter has brought a deluge of people I want nothing to do with in any way shape or form, and a small sprinkling of cool ones. Fortunately like 4/5ths of the crappy ones leave again, but that other 1/5th is a big number when you’re talking an influx of hundreds of thousands.

Although purported interest has never been higher, all the soft white libs I know are still deep in their full-of-shit phase and not doing a single fucking thing to prepare. It’s only the far leftists and people in the center that are on the uptake thus far from my vantage point.

the problem lies within the underlying protocol.

The problem lies with Gargron doing what Gargron does, implementing whatever the f he wants for “the Mastodon network” and not giving a crap how it affects the health of the overall fediverse.

Hell, this isn’t even the first time there’s been drama over Mastodon’s advisory post scopes, not by a long shot. I kinda wish I’d saved receipts from the last couple times, some highly experienced devs have chimed in in the past.
