I’m not a big fan of most RSS readers. And def not for Reddit content.

I replaced RIF with Stealth. It’s actually a really excellent read-only client that you can subscribe to subs and view content without contributing anything to Reddit.

RIF arguably the best Reddit mobile app.

I don’t see any of that as useful, personally, other than changing the resolution. I sure as hell would not want to manage my video from the app LOL. But it’s great that they’re adding that.

Wow. That was needlessly antagonistic. I don’t know your situation but what’s happening is that you’re pawning off these costs to other people. PeerTube is just not going to foot that bill for you, so you have unrealistic expectations.

Also most of that stuff is unnecessary, you can simply get a DAS box and connect it to your local machine as a hard drive.

Not necessarily. Like I don’t have my YT stuff stored anywhere any more.

I mean, that’s just poor archiving practices. There’s no reason you shouldn’t keep originals stored and backed up locally. You shouldn’t depend on someone else to archive that for you.

Honestly, I have no notes for the PeerTube app. They really nailed it on the first try…

Yeah it’s broken right now. You are subscribed it will just take a long time to take. Come back and check again in a couple of hours.

Let me just ask the less technical and more important questions:

1. If BSky goes out of business and shuts down their servers, will these continue to function?
2. Does BSky still have any control at all over moderation?

You shouldn’t expect full interoperability with this alone! At most, you should expect that your public posts get shared with your followers on Mastodon (i.e. an outbox)

Any plans to support PDFs or video conversion/compression?

Yes I did say that. I don’t understand what you’re trying to communicate. TLF does not control Linux. Tailscale does control Tailscale. There’s nothing wrong with using Linux and there’s nothing wrong with using WireGuard. There may be something wrong with using Tailscale. I don’t know how to be more clear about this.

It doesn’t matter in either case. Neither of them have control over the underlying technology.

companies should not be allowed to invest in other companies?

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m just saying you need to be wary of companies that do because the inevitable end of that train is enshittification. Every. Single. Time.

does Tailscale have complete control over Wireguard?

Who’s talking about WireGuard? We were talking about Tailscale.

That’s pretty standard in a business life-cycle, though

I don’t know where people ever got the idea that normal = acceptable. I hear this used to justify all sorts of awful crap. It was only ever normalized because users were apathetic.

And what about the Linux Foundation? They are funded through private equity. Should you consider switching away because of that?

Does The Linux Foundation have complete control over Linux?

There’s no way that it doesn’t

Not anymore, people have jobs which take up at least 8 hours of their day,

You think people didn’t used to have jobs?

Anyone who seriously want to make quality videos on a consistent schedule wants to make money and the end goal being to turn it into their job.

“Quality” is subjective and doesn’t necessarily require much money.

Most of it actually has nothing to do with Youtube

Thank you for elaborating on my point.

No one is going to a platform thats “just for fun”

Thousands of people already are. Myself included.

And it’s not “just for fun”, it’s because we don’t want to subject ourselves to abusive and invasive corporations.

Okay then I will recommend the new Beelink ME mini

And also the “pocket NAS” from CWWK.net

currently looking at a refurbished optiplex 3060 with an Intel I3-8100T

Those are fine but will be less power efficient than the mobile CPUs.

Do you mean building a multibay NAS myself? I looked into it and it didn’t seem really cheaper

It definitely is. Also most NAS have a very weak CPU. Because a “NAS” really doesn’t need one.

its challenging for creators to generate income from Peertube

1. Most people don’t start making videos to make money. In the early Tube days there was no money.

2. PeerTube only has 1 less avenue for monetization than YT, among dozens.

I would recommend DIYing your own NAS/server, if possible. How much storage are you needing? What’s your budget?
