Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.

I read some time ago of people using #webAssembly to transcode video in a user's web-browser. https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23/ffmpeg-webassembly.html

Since then, I believe #WebGPU has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.

I have not seen any #peertube capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.

I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.

My own interest is seeing a #Piefed (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could #autotranslate posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power... One day, maybe!

Thank you again for all your hard work; it is an inspiration.

I love how Ryan George does the alien anthropologist on Earth trope with just humans ... well ... just him. Please enjoy ...

It's famously easy to dunk on the Metaverse, and Ryan George does a great job of it in this video;

But he also makes an insightful point, worth repeating. Many technologies that are now part of everyday work and play began as digital toys, ruthlessly mocked by people who were adults when they came out.

I've been taking a careful look at some video downloaded from the web to see of it's real, or algorithmically generated. It occurs to me that this isn't necessarily an either/or.

I'm in two minds about public media outlets like RNZ publishing the video they produce on YouRube;

It makes sense for publicly-funded media to publish anywhere that members of the public might be, especially where we don't have to pay. In fact, any media funded 100% with public money ought to be under a CreativeCommons BY-SA license, or even placed in the public domain. So *anyone* can publish it, anywhere they like.

What's even cooler is I learned I can subscribe to a PeerTube channel using AntennaPod, and download videos to watch offline. Presumably this works with any podcast app that can handle video. The only missing stair I found in the experience so far was when I locked my screen during playback. The video not only stopped, but got deleted and marked as played.

I believe this is the first time I've seen a video hosted on PeerTube server, embedded in a web page;

Mental note: look out for potentially disturbing or suspicious works in media to avoid getting sensory abuse in works.

Especially if you're autistic.

Who knew Goggle Video was still a thing?

If you go to GoogleVideo.com in a web browser it redirects to Goggle Search. But in a web browser with NoScript, when you play a YouTub video in an Invidio.us instance, you can see it calling scripts from the GoogleVideo.com domain.

If you have a video channel, and you want to help us reduce the power YouTube have over online video, here's an idea...

Consider posting only a teaser clip of each of your videos to your YT channel, with links back to the full video on a PeerTube server. Or some other ethical video hosting service you trust and endorse. That will help more people find your videos than only posting them on the ethical server, and help more people learn about replacements for YT.

Got an update for LibreTube from F-Droid the other day, so I can finally use it again. One upside of having it not work for a while, is that I gave NewPipe another go. It's improved a lot since the legacy version I used to use on my old Android.

Anything to avoid using SpewTube's default apps. Every time I see someone using them, I also see a flood of ads, of biblical proportions.

Still hoping for a mass exodus of vloggers to PeerTube...

Today I did a search for "Indymedia" on SpewTube. Despite more than two decades of radical videographers uploading web video to projects affiliated with the Indymedia network, I found very little. What I did find couldn't be easily downloaded, despite being public interest media, created to be shared.

If only we'd had a tool like PeerTube in the mid-2000s.

A little context...
