Hello Fedi friends!

My decision to upload the Fedi promo video to YouTube 2 weeks ago was really controversial.

@randahl posted a nice message about the video & encouraged his followers to like / comment on it so the YouTube algorithm would serve it to more people. He was inundated by hostile comments for days. Sorry Randahl!

Well, exhibit A of why this was a good decision in hindsight (see pic).

How else are people going to hear about the Fediverse?

As always, thanks for the support ❤️

@_elena @randahl Premiere on Peertube and then syndicate elsewhere is an excellent communication strategy, there is even a name for it:

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.

A few days ago I spent a little bit of time looking at #PeerTube, to see if it can replace YouTube yet.
I tried and failed to set up an instance on my own server, because it doesn't have enough RAM to keep up with transcoding.
I made an account on cuddly.tube: @christianp@cuddly.tube, and had a go at live streaming there but I don't think it kept up. I also uploaded a short video: https://cuddly.tube/w/sMqkvBnzeLk1UtY44nXVeq.

Are there any PeerTube instances that can reliably live stream? I don't mind paying my way in.

I opened up this issue on GitHub to address the problem of interaction. https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/7119

I still wonder why remote interaction is made so difficult when there will always be more remote users than local ones. After all, every like on PeerTube so far counts 10 times more. ;-)

Hint: If you have an account on GitHub you can vote for this issue.
