Also, given your general interests, would be cool to do one of these data walks in Raleigh https://spectrum.ieee.org/smart-city-personal-data-collection I might be up to help plan that.
@JMMaok@mastodon.online I've never heard of this. This is fascinating though as I went to All Things Open 2025 and Raleigh had a booth there showing off their smart city tech. I'm attempting to contact them about the Fediverse, including NC having grants to getting citizens online.
This seems interesting though. I'm on Matrix, Signal, Discord, etc if you wanna reach out to me and we can talk about it. I'm personally interested in this, but yeah this seems ilke this would be a bit different than Fedi advocacy.
Reading the article though it definitely seems like there are trade offs. Knowing how that's used is also important. We educate ourselves. Love that. 😄
Having moved all of my Fireside Fedi interviews to Tube Free, @blenderdumbass@mastodon.online has been creating fun clips for me to upload. I've been doing this manually.
#Peertube has recommendations that you would like to see for their upcoming work.
If you want to see clipping built into Peertube, I sure do, you can upvote the idea here:
ideas.joinpeertube.org/posts...
And of course check out Fireside Fedi at tubefree.org with all the new fun clips!
@JMMaok@mastodon.online Right now @eric@mastodon.eom.dev and I are working through the process. We're thinking Sir Walter Coffee. We know Triangle Toot Mastodon had one a few months ago at Tap Yard, so we'll try that if Sir Walter doesn't work out.
And I absolutely agree to being in person. I want something that catches people's attention that might not know about the Fediverse. They're just out and about and see it and it catches their interest. 😄
I agree we need more of this in the Triangle though and I'm going to attempt to participate more this coming year.
Myself and another are planning on hosting a meet up in a public restaurant. The meet up is about the Fediverse of course in downtown #Raleigh. I had thoughts of some kind of display to show off different projects around the Fediverse. Was thinking a projector and have a presentation or something showing off the different platforms. Has anyone done anything similar or have thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you very much to @labr@ravenation.club for their donation to BT Free! The donations help us cover the costs of TubeFree.org our Peertube instance and help us to advocate for the Open Social Web more in the future.

All of those are correct. They're FREE as in cost and FREE as in freedom to use. You can take the software and read it's code and change it for whatever you need.
Same with Owncast, Mastodon, Peertube, Linux, etc.
@paige ooh I want to know about that! Will the event be streamed/recorded for those of us who sadly find ourselves far away from Montreal?
@matt@writing.exchange @res260@infosec.exchange @Floppy@mastodon.me.uk @paige@masto.canadiancivil.com I live in Raleigh NC. I can't make it. But I too hope there's a live stream or recording. Preferably on Peertube. :-). Can we get more info in general really? Is this a new project! I must know more! 😄

On fireside page, it says no posts here
@kevinrns@mstdn.social Ah. Got you. I just set up this Bonfire and still trying to figure it out. It defaults to more privacy friendly, like not showing posts on the main page.
Why are posts hidden?
@kevinrns@mstdn.social sorry just saw this. Posts hidden?

Andy Piper? THE Andy Piper? I didn't think such a famous person did podcasts! ;-). Now that I know, I REALLY need to give this a listen.
Also Ian let me know when 2026 would be good for me to join you. :-). I might not be Andy Piper, but I'm a person that can speak and has a face and thoughts. I think that counts for something. 😁

They are about to understand the Streisand Effect: the more you try to hide something from the public, the bigger the story gets.
@stux@mstdn.social @Wally@thepit.social @georgetakei@universeodon.com I downloaded it as well and was thinking of hosting it on TubeFree.org as well though a bit concerned considering nonprofit status. The right thing to do is host it though isn't it?
