📺️ #Livestream: stream.firesidefedi.live

🚀 #Peertube #VOD : tubefree.org/@firesidefedi

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.

@darkwolf@hear-me.social as soon as I saw your stuff on Peertube I meant to tell you to reach out to @limebar@mastodon.social about getting it on @TIBtv@tv.theindiebeat.fm . It's great stuff.

And @_elena@mastodon.social ​is the best of us. <3

@dexternemrod@troet.cafe ​YUP. And I was just having a conversation on Piefed of someone talking about one of my videos on Peertube and they were checking WAFRN and troubleshooting and it was all there. 😄 Interop is getting better by the day. So excited. Now we need to figure out how to really start spreading the message, and happy to see shortcuts like this. 😁

@michaelmathy@mastodon.online ​The audio version is gone. I was under the impression that the Podcast RSS could be used as an audio version or the standard RSS could. I haven't set up Castopod because it's a lot of extra work. But if you can't get it, then maybe I should reconsider it.

@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.

@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com ​Thank YOU! 😊 There's a registration page if you're interested. If you have any questions, do NOT hesitate to ping me. If you'd like to set up your own, or have me help set it up, or anything. We need to support each other. <3

@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com ​I run TubeFree.org if interested. 😊

@dobetterinstitute@twit.social ​OH! I LOVE THIS.

@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"​

@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.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services were you aware of this? If not, I know you keep a LOT of useful info, I can explain howbstep by step if you'd like. This is the kind of thing g that makes this all easier IMO.

@fiend_unpleasant@mastodon.social ​Heck yeah! 😊 That's how we all get stronger! 😁

Welcome @darkwolf@hear-me.social to Tube Free and the BT Free community!

DarkWolf is already uploading some AMAZING stuff. Such as LASER SQUAD ACTION FORCE: tubefree.org/w/38tNkUtsssd8C...

Follow Darkwolf (I know I am) here: @darkwolf@tubefree.org

Thank you for trusting us with your content!

@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.

@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. 😊

@michaelmathy@mastodon.online ​Good day Michael. I apologize for that. I've moved the home of Fireside Fedi from video.firesidefedi.live and audio.firesidefedi.live to TubeFree.org my nonprofit supported Peertube instance.

The new Podcast RSS is:
tubefree.org/feeds/podcast/v...

If you had just the RSS that is:
tubefree.org/feeds/videos.xm...

Please let me know if that doesn't work for you. I apologize for the difficulties.
