Not automatically, but you can configure it to mirror certain video channels or individual videos. But I have not looked into that too much yet.

As for storage: a typical video you would find on such a platform with the different stored video resolutions and so on will take between 0.5 and 3 GB… depending on the length and how well it compresses.

Finally finished setting up and testing a Peertube instance. The video stuff and object storage related things certainly make it more involved than other fediverse software, but overall it is working quite nicely. Just need to find some workable solution to using GPU acceleration in containers, but I think I mostly figured it out (might work after a server restart, but my sweet, sweet uptime makes me procrastinate on that 😅 ).

It is? Where? Please don’t say Reddit as that is full of advertisement bots pretending to be regular users.

I am more surprised by how popular Proxmox seems to be here, which is really just adding a lot of unnecessary complexity, but I guess the GUI comments others here shared applies to it as well.

They shortly talk about it in the beginning, but it looks like they didn’t publish it yet in the app store or on the forum. But this is definitly a much needed upgrade.

Also, I think it was Marius that did the prototype.

Not anymore, but afaik it is still possible with some not so bad manual work.

Apparently there are some reverse-engineering efforts like this: https://github.com/opencardev/openauto

It reuses the Android drivers and outdated Linux kernel, meaning you are just as stuck with it and a lack of security updates as you are on Android.

But I consider it a good transitional technology.

The longer you wait the more incompatible and harder to migrate it will get.

While right now the features have not diverged that much, only Forgejo is working on federation and due to license incompatibility it will not be possible to back-port that to Gitea.

That is a very optimistic video…

Sure the FSF can try to reverse-engineer some firmware, but this isn’t going to make a “Libre Phone”, nor is further depending on Android, like they seem to plan, a good idea.

There are projects like PostmarketOS that are more serious about this and maybe the FSF will realize that they are better off collaborating with PmOS, but this tone-deaf and seemingly quite ignorant announcement of theirs doesn’t make me very optimistic.

Perfectly fine, I was there not too long ago. Belgium has an alarmingly high suicide rate though. That is probably something that needs to be looked at and is a way more pressing topic than a largely imagined increase in downtown crime rate.

Why less appealing? There is no increase in crime or anything else that makes that less appealing (other than that a lot of small shops closed during the pandemic or are being priced out by real-estate speculators), you really need to stop believing the lies these social media influencers feed you.

You are being fed BS. There are no crime statistics that show this once you actually look at the data in an unbiased way, but there are a lot of people which present the data in ways that are easy to misunderstand (on purpose).

Kinda a shame that Droidian got semi-abandoned in favour of FuriOS, otherwise it would be a great funnel for users and developers towards Mobian as the user-space is pretty much the same, but hardware support in theory much better.

The person that runs the website it is posted on.

https://joinsharkey.org/ seems to be the only one that survived so far.

First you need to check if your ISP gives you a public IP (can be temporary, if you are fine with using dyndns). Otherwise you will need some tunneling service or run such yourself from a VPS.

That article is highly misleading.

Ejabberd is definitly for more advanced user, but you can usually get help over at joinjabber.org (which has a webclient that you can use without an xmpp account).

But yes, Snikket and Prosody is easier to set up.

I mean, XMPP is great, but if you are only interested in private chats with your family in a virtual LAN then it (and Matrix) is probably overkill and a bit of a hassle to configure without a public domain (as that is expected for federation).

Maybe a Nextcloud Talk or a Jitsi Meet instance would be simpler?
