YouTube2PeerTube - a bot to automatically YouTube channels to #PeerTube channels.Check it out. Many people are not yet ready to get rid of YT due to network effects, etc. But you want to be prepared to make the jump at any time, right. And you want to help @peertube grow to great heights, of course :)This bot by @mister_monster helps you do so with ease.I just added it to Awesome Humane Tech and #ActivityPub developer tools watchlist.https://github.com/humanetech-community/awesome-humane-techhttps://git.feneas.org/feneas/fediverse/-/wikis/Watchlist-for-ActivityPub-developer-resources

@humanetech @peertube @mister_monster I would just like a way to use a spare computer and bandwith to help instances in a torrent-like fashion. Maybe like select videos to download and help seed. Is this possible to do?

@PestToastPeertube uses webRTC, so viewers share server load basically while they're watching.I'm not sure if Peertube has some type of relay functionality or not, I don't believe what you're trying to do is possible. But you *can* host a Peertube server and make videos that aren't easy to find on Peertube available, and my tool enables you to do that with YouTube videos with ease. @humanetech @peertube

@mister_monster @humanetech @peertube I don't have the time or knowledge to host my own instance, but I would definitely open a program and click a button to contribute some of my resources to the network.

@PestToastThis is actually a phenomenal idea though now that I think about it, especially on a federating network, maybe something like hash addressing videos and allowing duplicates to share server load, kind of like what IPFS does. You should go to framagit and put in a feature request if they don't have something like this planned already. @humanetech @peertube

@PestToastWhat it would take to build this: a bot that takes video URLs, archives the video and pretends to be watching it over WebRTC. Seems simple enough, someone should build this, I might dive into it if someone hasn't done it already before I get around to it. You've come up with a wonderful idea! @humanetech @peertube

@mister_monster @humanetech @peertube is WebRTC fundamentally different from bittorrent? Like there's no way to drop a WebRTC video into qbittorrent or something?

@PestToastI'm not entirely sure about that. WebRTC is basically bittorrent, but I'm not sure how a Peertube server handles tracking, so I'm not sure how you'd seed a video hosted on a Peertube server and viewers would know to connect to you as well as the main server. In theory it is possible but it really depends on Peertube's WebRTC implementation. @humanetech @peertube

@mister_monster @PestToast @peertube You might check out ERIS, which is being researched by @pukkamustard as part of the #openengiadina #activitypub project:https://gitlab.com/openengiadina/eris/-/blob/main/doc/eris.adoc@cj started evaluating in #golang here https://github.com/cjslep/eris (for future use in https://go-fed.org maybe), and there may be more impls underway.

@PestToastActually, scratch everything ive said about this lol, looks like they implemented basically what you want to do in a recent update. https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute-architecture?id=redundancy-between-instances you can run a Peertube server and "cache" videos for other servers, allowing your server to seed them for viewers. So yes, what you want to do can be done. @humanetech @peertube

@humanetechThis is very interesting. Sounds a lot like IPFS? I'd be interested in knowing how it differs. @PestToast @peertube @pukkamustard @cj

@mister_monster there's also follow-up research, like Distributed Mutable Containers:https://openengiadina.gitlab.io/dmc/A good place to ask questions is on #Matrix at:https://matrix.to/#/#openengiadina:matrix.org@PestToast @peertube @pukkamustard @cj

@rigelkSo this is an old feature? I've gone through the Peertube docs and never seen the feature until now. How long has it been documented? @PestToast @humanetech @peertube

@mister_monster @rigelk @humanetech @peertube hm... so I have to pay for a domain name and figure out how to run a whole instance just to contribute my bandwidth/storage? That seems overly complicated.
