All the same people boosting LLMs today were boosting NFTs five years ago. It's not a coincidence that

@thefulcrum@www.thefulcrum.dev excellent writeup! I have a video of me installing Bonfire as well through Abra, their recommended installation method, if you need any help.
Abra if pretty awesome once you wrap your head around it.

I made a post yesterday when someone said that Hetzner has an invisible CDN. After looking into it, I felt that the evidence might point to the fact they did, so I made that post. I then spoke to others and had enough doubt that it might not be the case.
I then reached out to Hetzner, Lenz Grimmer specifically, and CDN is not something they offer and is not something they have in their infrastructure.
HOWEVER, they're willing to investigate it. So if you're interested in a #CDN product from #Hetzner, please hit them up and express your interest!
I purchasesd a web domain earlier. WatchIce.live . got the idea from folks saying they want to live stream and record them watching Ice. This is how far we've come in that I'm not comfortable putting my family in this position. So if anyone would like the domain, maybe host Peertube for others to stream to, I'm more than happy to hand it to someone and I'm even willing to help set it up. But I no longer trust my government and can't risk my family. Reach out if you're interested.

@Twelvebarblues@ieji.de @Mrfunkedude@mastodon.social @openstreetmap@en.osm.town @mvexel@en.osm.town also Mr. Funk, aren't you looking for quality content to share on your Peertube? And you allow live streaming right? This seems to fit.
@troler 💯
@christopher@my.talesofmy.life @troler@mastodon.online I love this. I've ALSO never thought of it this way. "OH! You have NOTHING to hide? So then I can't trust you?" I love that pivot as well. We need easy ways to combat that thoughtless comment of "I have nothing to hide"
@ozoned yep #OSM is @openstreetmap! I am new to #PeerTube - can you do live streaming on it with #OBS?
@mvexel@en.osm.town PeerTube does support livestreaming and it can even save directly to the PeerTube channel. However, TubeFree.org doesn't have Livestreaming at this time, because I'd need someone to monitor channels and it's just me. 😊
I'm more than happy to set one up or help you set one up for you. It'd cost VPS fees obviously. IDK what you're looking for.
There's also #Owncast . This is what a lot of the #freeStreamers I know use to stream and then also record the Video and edit it or upload it to Peertube. And we can help you with any of that. 😊
Just let me know. I'm also on #Matrix , #Signal or even #Discord if you need.

There should be shirts with the text
"I would never hide a friend or loved one from an angry mob."
Just so that people know who they are talking to.
@wakame@tech.lgbt @blenderdumbass@mastodon.online Ouch. Yeah that especially hits home at the moment.
Credit to @blenderdumbass@mastodon.online for coming up with this awesome pivot to that bullshit argument.
@mvexel maybe ask @ozoned at https://tubefree.org/signup
@chebra@mstdn.io @mvexel@en.osm.town Hey! That's me! Is that #OSM Open Street Map? If not, what's OSM? And I'd be happy to have you. 😊

@ozoned This is the only way I can tolerate watching any Twitch streams these days. https://streamlink.github.io/
@operationpuppet@mastodon.content.town oh yeah. I use Streamlink + Streamlink Twitch GUI + Chatterino. I made the mistake of thinking I didn't need protection. Learn from me kids. ALWAYS use protection on the internet.
It doesn't but the check cleared and that's all that matters.
Just hopped on Twitch and I get an AD. OK, no problem. I'll ignore it.
This one I couldn't ignore. And advertisement for National Crypto Association.
I'm blown away. A nonprofit built for pushing a gambling mechanic and advertised on a game stream. How does any of this make sense?
