Just did some #livestreaming over on my #owncast stream.ozoned.net .

Worked on the #bash script for my public #Peertube index file that's hosted at ptindex.btfree.org if anyone wants to use it!

Or if you want to create your own chain of trust, you can get the script at git.btfree.org/BTFree/PTIndex and make your own!

Want to be alerted next time I go live? Just follow @ozoned@stream.ozoned.net from ANY Fediverse instance, and when I go live, you'll get a notification!

Did you know that you can be alerted on the #Fediverse when #FiresideFedi goes #Live ?

Just follow: @ozoned@stream.firesidefedi.live

#OBS now supports WebRTC simulcast support.

I understand it'd be a HUGE undertaking, but what kind of time/money would it take to write a library to handle this to get it into #Owncast and #Peertube ?

Right now the single most expensive thing is transcoding. If we can support #Webrtc #Simulcast that moves to end users and the server can is just a pass through enabling anyone to run live streams through their Peertube or someone to run massively more Owncast streams at once.

So I'm being serious. What would this take?

Did you know that #Youtube can pull your videos straight from your own #Peertube server?

You don't have your own Peertube?

We run #TubeFree where we give 50GB of total storage, with options to go higher with a donation!

tubefree.org

See givebutter.com/givebtfree for prices!

Want help building your OWN Peertube? We can help there as well! Just message me and let's work together!

I love the #Fediverse. I love #Peertube. Our strength is: we're decentralized. Our weakness is: we're decentralized. How do we find like instances and things WITHOUT an algorithm?

Well I run tubefree.org. I know Makertube.net is a good instance. I follow that instance. However, I trust the admins there, why not follow who they follow? Thus we have a chain of trust.

How do I do this easily though? I came up with a script: git.btfree.org/BTFree/PTIndex

Want to USE the index on YOUR Peertube so you follow everyone I follow, and follow those I trust and who they follow? Go to your Peertube - Settings - General - Federation - Check "Automatically follow platforms of a public index" - Index URL: ptindex.btfree.org .

Want to be involved in the chain of trust? Message me! I'm here @ozoned , @ozoned@piefed.social , @ozoned:matrix.org , ozoned.01 on Signal, ozoned@btfree.org via email.

Anyone #livestreaming any #gdc news on the #fediverse ?

@reiver@mastodon.social is there a #FediCon account? Or shall we follow you for updates?

I have to make sure I'm there this year, so I want to make sure I can start scheduling things as early as possible. 😁

#FediForum2026 is coming up in April, 28th - 30th. If you don't know what #FediForum is, it's an online #unconference where we all get together, talk about what projects folks are working on, meet each other, etc. I've been to two of them last year and I've met so many fantastic folks there.

What other #conference are people going to that is related to the #Fediverse ?

I know #Fedicon is sometime later this year. I've already missed #FOSDEM but that'll come around again, next February I think?

Good day all!

Are there any of you out there that have any kind of stories about moving communities onto the Fediverse?

Whether that be you moved your family, you moved your friends, you moved your church.

Anyone out there have a success story?

If so, what worked for you? What didn't work for you?

I'd LOVE to hear from you, as our strength is all of us together. Let's all learn from each other!

Is anyone attempting to start a business where you attempt to sell the Fediverse to places?

Good day all! TODAY on Fireside Fedi!
