What do you mean? It’s embedded from Peertube, so you should be able to play the video directly, unless you are using a client that’s does not support it.

Yes, he says he’s dependent on the ad revenue. However, no one is asking for him to drop YouTube. Also posting on PeerTube will simply have him reach more viewers. It won’t move viewers away from YouTube.

Go forth, and self-host all the things!

He means self-hosting as in hosting his own PeerTube instance? Right??? 🙏

You can see the current median price here: https://siascan.com/

The storage providers set their own prices and the renters set how much they want to pay.

Just storing data is very cheap at $1.51/TB.

I have used it before and it worked just fine. Just don’t use it for PeerTube 😅

Siacoin.

People don’t like pewdiepie I guess

Wouldn’t they have shown up on the cam?

Interesting. I’ve been thinking about something like this for instances that use PeerTube. People could donate storage to PeerTube instances.

That’s pretty obvious. Only if the victims were rich white dudes. That’s when it gets real.

Bluesky doesn’t work if the IP gets blocked in Turkey, but with Mastodon, you would have to ban every single IP from every Mastodon instance and potentially all other IPs on the Fediverse.

Let’s say Turkey blocks mastodon.social. Now people in Turkey can’t access Mastodon.social under normal circumstances, but they can still access fosstodon.org, mstdn.social etc. and access the content from Mastodon.social through those other sites.

Only issue could be media uploaded to Mastodon.social, that’s blocked, unless it has been cached by the website you use.

A medium ranged laptop can be rather expensive and how would you deal with upgrades or a dead drive?

I’m just used to the “/s” for when something is written sarcastically.

/s?

There’s Mastodon and a ton of others.

10 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD

That doesn’t sound cheap though and it would become more expensive over time, right?

If only there was a decentralised alternative, that was more or less immune to this… LOL

Also DMs always go through Bluesky themselves.

What do you suggest? It’s only intended for a few users, but I’d still like to have the most features available to the users.

You could try getting your hands on an OVH dedicated server: https://eco.ovhcloud.com/en-ie/

Can’t recognise that, but unfortunate you have had such an experience with them.
