I do not know if you have changed something in the hosting of the podcast version of Fireside Fedi but I cannot listen to it anymore.
My podcast application (Pocket cast) says that the header of the file is not correct.
Which means I cannot seek but worse, I cannot resume the episode where I left.
Are you aware of the problem ?

@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.

A card for the episode. Bright pink background with a green box and cat alien flying saucer thing. A small ozoned rotated 90 degrees on the left side and Lime Bar dress up as Maxx Hedroom on the right side.

@ozoned This is the only way I can tolerate watching any Twitch streams these days. https://streamlink.github.io/

@operationpuppet@mastodon.content.town oh yeah. I use Streamlink + Streamlink Twitch GUI + Chatterino. I made the mistake of thinking I didn't need protection. Learn from me kids. ALWAYS use protection on the internet.

Just hopped on Twitch and I get an AD. OK, no problem. I'll ignore it.

This one I couldn't ignore. And advertisement for National Crypto Association.

I'm blown away. A nonprofit built for pushing a gambling mechanic and advertised on a game stream. How does any of this make sense?

Has anyone realized that you could post your videos to your Peertube and have YouTube pull them in via the Podcast RSS Feed? Or am I the only one that didn't realize this?

Which means you don't have to upload to YouTube AND Peertube. You can upload to Peertube and YouTube will grab it for you.

This of course only applies to those that WANT their content on YouTube. If you don't, that's totally fine. I'm doing this to advocate for the Fediverse so I think it's a necessary evil.

@BTFree @MakerTube

This is what I love so much about the fediverse and PeerTube. Videos take up a lot of data and bandwidth, but we're able to support each other to keep it up and running without the need to compete. There's no need to bad-talk anyone, just support each other in this.

I'm pretty tech-minded, so I figured out how to get a storage server for $25/year, a domain name for $10/year, setup yunohost and install PeerTube. There is the option of self-hosting. It's not the easiest thing, but there is that option.

So, I thank you for providing the infrastructure, helping others get going, and inviting an inclusive host!

@darkwolf@hear-me.social THANK YOU!

I'm here to help anyone else set up theirs. Matrix has a growing community for ActivityPub folks. Peertube included. Let's all grow and work together. If I don't know an answer, I know a place we can find it!

WOW! And they need the high rollers to show that yes YOU TOO can make it ... it's 100% gambling. Yes, you can hedge your bet by gambling long enough or have a trick, but it's still a gamble.

I don't know about other filmmakers or content creators, but I have never seen a dime from YouTube. Even when I pushed out regular content filming live events, even when I had huge numbers of followers and views, the only thing I ever got from YouTube was a bunch of nasty comments.

But unless they use ad-block, every person watching my videos sees ads they don't want for things they don't want. Google is making bank off my work, and I just want people to see it.

If you're like me, consider switching to a reputable #PeerTube instance that federates like @BTFree or @MakerTube

Be like Mike. Sing up. Add your content. Follow, share links, and subscribe to real people making real content on the #fediverse

@darkwolf@hear-me.social @MakerTube@mastodon.social Thank you so much. I'm not a content creator, well I've become one with Fireside Fedi. I have no intentions of getting rich, or being a content creator, or what not. We have to start NOW to build out a better future for those that might want to do that in the future. Anyone joining YouTube in hopes of making it big have a shot, but they're slaves to Big Tech's arbitrary rules that change at the next wiff of money.

And yes, MakerTube is wonderful. TILVids is wonderful! There are bunches of great platforms. I'm also here to help folks set up their own!

Invest in yourselves, not Youtube, or Twitch, or TikTok. YES, use those, but don't let them be your sole source of income. They don't CARE about you!

We are a community that want to empower other communities to do what's best for THEM.
