@andypiper@macaw.social ​well we both know I'm not up to the measure. There's just too much pressure! I'll need to take some leisure! 😁

@gardiner_bryant@mastodon.online ​Do you see any errors? have you used this S3 before? The main issue I had when something like that happened was a CORS issue. What S3 are you using?

Someone do me a favor and remind me to check my post office box more please! 😁

Thank you @andypiper@macaw.social for the stickers that I FINALLY realized where in my PO Box from 6 months ago!

Was anyone aware that OBS now offers "Enhanced Broadcasting" aka Multritrack Video? This offloads video transcoding to the person that is streaming their content and off of the servers themselves.

This is the single biggest cost of hosting a livestreaming server. If users are willing to use what's in their system we can make the bar to entry incredibly low.

@zotheca@mementomori.social ​I run TubeFree.org and put my Fireside Fedi VODs up there as well have having other folks put their content there. I haven't had too many issues. But it's a very difficult problem as it's not just Peertube itself, but I've had to help troubleshoot ISP blocks, Web browser issues, etc.

Does #FOSDEM have a #Peertube instance?

I know I can watch the videos here: video.fosdem.org/

Just didn't know if they had videos accessible on the Fediverse.

If they don't have a Peertube, is anyone thinking about, and allowed to, post these on a Peertube instance?

@freebliss@post.lurk.org ​OR! maybe you BOTH won? And because you folks are building these things, we ALL WIN! <3 Envious I couldn't be there. Keep up the amazing work. Same goes to @benpate@mastodon.social !

@ozoned Late addendum to your question (sorry took a while for this constellation to align :)): "If #faircamp and #bandwagon had a fight to the death ..." ... they wouldn't!! 😉 Greetings from FOSDEM!

@philsawa@ioc.exchange But sir! We've never gone that fast! I'm not sure if Loops can take it! 😊 ​

Currently watching #FOSDEM #openSocialWeb track. This is about the #fediverse and all kinds of different projects people are working on. EVERYONE has a role in this. If you are enjoying the fediverse, YOU MATTER. Find a way for you to help this community. As @samvie@chaos.social just said, we just need more shoulders! Everyone doing whatever they can. Something as simple as talking to someone.

@Lgo@hostux.social thank you for the correction. IDK why I even thought Germany. I saw on FOSDEM is said Brussels Belgium.​

@duxsco@fedifreu.de @brunogirin@mastodon.me.uk ​but isn't Berlin in the Bronx?

@brunogirin@mastodon.me.uk ​thank you for the correction. IDK why I even thought Germany. I saw on FOSDEM is said Brussels Belgium.

Thank you all for correcting me! Brussel is in BELGIUM! lol so if you're in #BELGIUM check out #FOSDEM 😁 lol

Those who are unaware there's a large convention this weekend in Brussel Germany called FOSDEM. Tons of brilliant folks are going to be there if you want to learn more about the Open Social Web or free/open software.

If you, like me, are interested in following the fediverse presentations, from the comfort of your own home, you can see the track here: fosdem.org/2026/schedule/tra...

EDIT: Brussels is in #BELGIUM . Not GERMANY. Thank you all for correcting me. :) Leaving my original toot to show I'm human and I err.

🚄 The Bonfire team is rolling into Brussels for FOSDEM 2026!

Come find us at one of Europe’s biggest free software gatherings, with over 8,000 people, dozens of devrooms, and all things open source. We’re giving two talks this weekend (and both will be livestreamed at the links below, so you can join from anywhere, with recordings up afterward):

Building Modular, Consentful, and Federated Social Networks
🎥 Social Web devroom
🗓️ Saturday, Jan 31st, 17:10–17:30 CET
🌐 Local time where you are

Modular Communication Tools on the Open Social Web
🎥 Decentralised Communication devroom
🗓️ Sunday, Feb 1st, 14:45–15:15 CET
🌐 Local time where you are

We’ll be sharing more about the why and how of Bonfire and our ecosystem, hands-on demos, announcing new alliances, and real stories from communities using Bonfire today.

We can’t wait to connect with the open source and fediverse crowd, swap ideas, and meet anyone passionate about building healthier, more flexible, and consentful digital spaces. Whether you’re a developer, community organiser, or just fediverse-curious, come say hi!

@darkwolf@hear-me.social ​Nice. I liked it. 😊 And glad that @megaultrastudios@indieweb.social found a Peertube home. I know they requested one on TubeFree, but see they landed at MakerTube. 😊 Awesome place.
