@_elena Something I really like about the Fediverse is that I only need this one account to find and follow different types of content. I wish more creators joined!

@_elena @Framasoft I'm not sure if that's possible on iPhones too, but on Android I just add a shortcut to the website and that makes it open in my browser.

@_elena that really depends on how much traffic you expect. I know that my instance will most likely not blow up, so traffic will be not that much. And the p2p System should help in case it does. My other specs I'll give you later today since I'm currently traveling and can't check easily 🙃

@_elena Peertube also have challenge of having casual uploaders. One thing if you have following and know your audience so you might selfhost as you already have income. Other is someone who (aka me) want to upload gameplay videos with challenges or just how to beat stage, short but still takes space. Finding instance that will give you space to host is hard. Most will have moderator registration approval. I had channel on one instance and got close to my youtube uploads.

@_elena Thanks for this review, and I have a follow-up question.There are few people that I trust as much as you on the topic of online video. I have been active in photography, vector graphics and "pixel-pushing" for decades, but creating video content remains my White Whale. That said, I just started :)As a beginner in the video space, not looking to start a channel or "build a following" for regular shows, would you say an account on Peertube is a good fit? For now, I basically need a space where I can host my first videos. Also to to share links via Mastodon and to embed them on my WordPress blog. I am also looking to find online communities where I can share my clips and stories to solicit feedback to learn and evolve.Thanks!

@_elena sounds good. Now that we've gotten into the groove releasing videos it'd be cool to do a podcast episode about your own fediverse adventures.

@_elena As someone interested in both the Fediverse and RSS, I though I might point you at a recent project I did that lets you subscribe to communities in Lemmy and Mbin through your RSS aggregator.The idea is to create your own feeds that surface the top upvoted community posts, reducing the firehose of posts. You set the threshold, and the RSS feeds optionally include content, summaries, and comments. And it can be self-hosted. I invite you to take it for a spin!https://www.upvote-rss.com/

@_elena @hikingdude reading it now! So glad to see this article, really well done! (Quick notes: "I can interact with FediHost's videos, like them, comment on them and follow this PeerTube channel from any Fediverse social account I have (Mastodon, Pixelfed, Friendica or Sharkey)." I am pretty sure you can not like or respond to a peertube video from Pixelfed.)

@_elena so, the system is a virtual machine on proxmox that has 8 CPU cores available and 500 GB SSD storage. The containers are limited to 512MB RAM for Redis, 1GB for postgres and 4GB for peertube. The virtual server has 16GB and is shared with mastodon so there would be the possibility to increase if needed, but so far with ~5 people watching streams and only singular people watching videos at once it handles that easy. Internet is 100Mbit Up, 1Gbit Down, which also works nicely.

@_elena @liaizon @hikingdude it really is a great tipp! Being able to have it in your favorite RSS reader or putting it on a self-hosted "Audiobookshelf" instance is just so handy! And makes it possible for people that don't want an fedi account to follow your things!

@_elena Thanks once more for this profound articles.One interesting topic is ether lack of content is a peertube problem or a community challenge. Maybe looking this way triggers more responsability to creators.Regarding mobile apps, I think initial releases allowed to manually add servers. Maybe this has changed!Thanks for the work!

@_elena I think this is a key point, and unfortunately is not an easy one. The challenge is general: how do we collectively support our creators that don’t produce material things? And I am thinking on artist, journalists, free software developers, etc…So one option is patronage, and may be helpful (I do support some people that way). But if we let the responsability to be at the individual level, then it can be very scary and unstable for the creator.In my head, we should address this in a community-way, stepping in our responsability to support this immaterial contribution.This is a very interesting and relevant debate!! ❤️

@_elena i completely share your view contentwise. the largest intances are full of german conspiracy theory people. would be cool, to have a mirror of archive.org feature films for example. like https://wikiflix.toolforge.org or we do not need to connect everything to the fediverse ;)

@_elena i may have an idea what's going on with the ghost server going offline after changing links in mastodon :blobfoxthink: People even have a name for it, Mastodon Hug of Death.If this is the problem, you should have the same problem when making a new post to an article on your ghost blog.Basically, mastodon, and many other fedi servers, show link previews. So when they receive a post or update with a (new) link, they also need to create that preview. So when you send out a link to your followers, and I assume you have a lot, each of the instances will do a request to your ghost installation, ghost then has to process each request, do some checks, query the database, build the page... and it overloads the system.I don't expect a restore from backup should be needed though :blobfoxthink: but waiting it out and restarting the system may be required.Assuming this is the problem, and it keeps happening, the typical solution I see people propose, is setting up a cache at the ghost server. I don't personally have experience with this, but nginx should have this build-in. So I don't think you need to install extra stuff, but you may need to tweak some configuration. With cache, ngnix will still get the requests, but should only send one of them to the ghost installation, store the reply temporarily, and reply that for as long as the cache hasn't expired. It still has to deal with all the requests, but serving a premade reply from cache, is much easier on the server than having ghost process the whole thing again.@streetcoder

@_elena ahah :blobfoxlaughsweat: i'll say, i do sometimes wonder if maybe i'm not annoying with replying, but if you say it like that, i assume it's still alright :blobfoxlaughsweat: yeah, implementing (and testing) is another thing, but hey, self hosting wouldn't be an adventure otherwise :blobfoxhappy: @streetcoder

@_elena My Firefox install is complaining about the connection to blog.elenarossini.com not being secure. I'm not sure why but thought I should say something.
