It’s all just part of their addons, so you choose yourself if you want AI. You can even choose to have local AI, if you don’t want to use an external AI, which I believe is ChatGPT.

The Hetzner Storage Share lacks a lot of features that Nextcloud IONOS have. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Hetzner has an office suite for Nextcloud?

Yes, indeed. He does say it’s partly because of YouTube hostility though? Maybe he’ll continue in some form on PeerTube.

I wish his videos would get more views on PeerTube. Because it certainly is possible to get several thousand views.

We gotta use the share button much more!

Delete what?

Exactly. Linux will never become the majority OS as long as it’s not the default OS on retail PCs.

He’s hosting his own PeerTube instance.

Let’s normalize linking to PeerTube instead :D

I use droposs.org to handle the family’s games.

Yes, he says he’s dependent on the ad revenue. However, no one is asking for him to drop YouTube. Also posting on PeerTube will simply have him reach more viewers. It won’t move viewers away from YouTube.

Go forth, and self-host all the things!

He means self-hosting as in hosting his own PeerTube instance? Right??? 🙏

If he had hosting costs, that would mean he’s hosting his own PeerTube instance, which is definitely something big content creators should be doing. But he could start out with using Tilvids.com (like The Linux Experiment) or another PeerTube instance.

How does he backup his videos today? Wouldn’t it make sense if you used your backup solution with your own PeerTube instance?

You can see the current median price here: https://siascan.com/

The storage providers set their own prices and the renters set how much they want to pay.

Just storing data is very cheap at $1.51/TB.

Some in the fediverse ask why I’m not on Peertube. Here’s the problem (and it’s not insurmountable): right now, there’s no easy path towards sustainable content production when the audience for the content is 100x smaller, and the number of patrons/sponsors remains proportionally the same.

How is this preventing Jeff from also uploading his videos to PeerTube? It can literally be automated by PeerTube.

If the Linux Experiment can, then why not Jeff as well?

I have used it before and it worked just fine. Just don’t use it for PeerTube 😅

Siacoin.

Instances / Servers

I’m not talking about ads.

Set it up and ask other PeerTube servers to mirror your videos, so that viewers will stream the video from there as well.

It’s possible to filter only local videos.

One thing that might get more content creators on PeerTube could be “advertising” as not just a video platform, but also a backup service.

I’m guessing most content creators have their original video and video project files backed up somewhere. Why not have the ability to use PeerTube for that?

You can already have PeerTube store the original video file, when you upload it, something YouTube can’t do.
