Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.

I read some time ago of people using #webAssembly to transcode video in a user's web-browser. https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23/ffmpeg-webassembly.html

Since then, I believe #WebGPU has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.

I have not seen any #peertube capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.

I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.

My own interest is seeing a #Piefed (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could #autotranslate posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power... One day, maybe!

Thank you again for all your hard work; it is an inspiration.

Aktionsb. neue soziale Medien

Vieles hat sich verändert, seit wir unseren Appell an die #Hochschulen Anfang letzten Jahres gestartet haben. Viele haben die #X-Plattform inzwischen verlassen und ihre Präsenz auf #Mastodon 🐘 ist immer ↗️ stärker geworden.

Doch wir sehen weiterhin die Notwendigkeit, die mit der Nutzung der großen Plattformen verbundenen Probleme an den Hochschulen anzugehen. Denn #Volksverhetzung 😡 und #Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit sind dort weiterhin gängige Praxis und haben mit der Amtsübernahme des neuen US-Präsidenten auf manchen Plattformen sogar zugenommen.

Wir haben uns deshalb erneut an den Präsidenten 👨‍🎓 der #HRK gewandt und vorgeschlagen, dass unser Aktionsbündnis und die uns unterstützenden Digitalorganisationen in Austausch treten mit der Digitalisierungs-Kommission der HRK, vergl.

Macht diese Initiative gerne an den Hochschulen 📣 bekannt, sofern ihr mit einer verbunden seid. Es ist dringend geboten, dass die Nutzung von sozialen Medien dort stärker thematisiert und diskutiert wird.

It feels a little ironic to be posting this on the very platform that it’s talking about.

Thanks to @_elena
for the effort and time taken to put this together.

Share. Share. Share.

And before anyone says “this is YouTube” - of course, the reach needs to be as far and wide; and like it or not, YouTube is far and wide!

Beyond excited to announce that our trader status was approved and we are available to all of our European friends once more! It took way longer than any of us expected but it should be taken care of for good.

Updates are not far behind!

I'm thinking of moving Rusted Neuron (my tiny-almost-one-person-except-for-a-couple-of-friends-who-barely-use-it #Mastodon instance) to #GotoSocial.

I'd appreciate input from anyone who's done the migration and knows what the pitfalls are or who are experts on GotoSocial.

Things I'm particularly concerned about:

* I know I must use a different URL because of the way #ActivityPub works, but can it be the same TLD?

* Do standard copy backups fail on the SQLite files? (File locking?)
