I decided to make an infrastructure investment today. For the @owncast instances I host on behalf of folks in the community (including @JenJen and @ozoned), I will soon be piloting AV1 as the video codec to replace H.264, with the intention to fully switchover if things go well with testing. AV1 requires a lot more computational compute to encode than H.264, so a GPU is effectively a requirement.

Good day all! Upcoming episode of Fireside Fedi!

Good day all!

I have the pleasure of announcing work that @enoent@ravenation.club has done for BT Free for our Tube Free Peertube.

We now have working, and it's running AMAZINGLY, automation that auto-scales PeerTube runners based on pending transcoding jobs.

So when someone uploads a video, a job is kicked off for each quality, the script spins up a hetzner server to transcode that job, and then shuts down.

Check it out if you're interested! Run one for yourself!

git.btfree.org/BTFree/pt-aut...

Just a reminder we're also hosting the our own Peertube Index built on a chain of trust.

And hopefully coming soon automation to fully upload videos, descriptions, etc from the CLI to Peertube. (Unless one exists and if so PLEASE point me to it, because I'm awful at software development) #peertube #automation #script #git #autoscale

@JenJen@mastodon.art My 8 year old saw that and said "OH MY GOD! SHE SHOULD BE AN ARTIST!" That's is BEAUTIFUL! Keep up the amazing work and thank you so much for sharing with us! #art #comics #beautiful

FediCon 2026 will be part of FOSSY.

We are still trying to figure out the exact days for FediCon @ FOSSY. But, it will be 2 of the days between August 6th and 9th.

We are also planning to do a joint session between FediCon @ FOSSY in Vancouver with the Fediverse & Social Web track at COSCUP in Taiwan.

Good day all,

Works On My Machine Live episode has to be rescheduled. Please follow @when@freestreamers.btfree.org to be alerted when any new shows are coming up.

Absolutely LOVED this video by John Mauriello of Design Theory.

He's looking for folks to talk to him about ways to make this enshitifcation hellscape better. He talks about all of the problems, @pluralistic@mamot.fr books and is explaing this to his almost 1 million followers.

And he WANTS to talk to people. EVERYONE please reach out! The more we can become a chorus and not just a drowned voice, the more likely we can speed up our revolution.
