Discussion

@gary_alderson@infosec.exchange ​what is **#Drollodex ?

@teresa_athome@mastodon.online ​right?!? I want to avoid Amazon, but there are companies now that ONLY ship through Amazon. How can we support each other in quitting? How do we all work together to ditch the Big Tech?

We have ad blockers yes, but what if you had an app that just blocked things. You could also clearly show someone when a website breaks that yes, Google, Facebook, Amazon, are EVERYWHERE.

Probably easier said than done though as there's so many servers out there. IDK how you'd block it all. Something like CBS or Netflix shouldn't be too difficult.

I was just thinking, it'd be really easy to boycott online services. But with so many mergers, and companies are so big, you never know who owns what anymore.

So I was wondering, have anyone made any kind of web browser extension that lets you list a company and you put in why you don't want to support them and it gets all of that company's holdings, and hell even friends, and when you go to that website it pops up a warning reminding you why you hate them and a list of alternatives to support?

@gardiner_bryant@mastodon.online ​OH! How did you migrate? I hit this issue with castopod! When you do a dump you don't just dump the DB. The db itself I guess has meta data. Like the locales issue you're hitting. Do you have migration docs? I'd definitely reach out to Peertube about it and ask. If it's not in docs then we should get the socs updated. If it's a new bug gotta get that fixed. But this definitely sounds familiar to me, although for a different app.

@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.
