So 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

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

@PestToast
Actually, scratch everything ive said about this lol, looks like they implemented basically what you want to do in a recent update. docs.joinpeertube.org/contribu 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

@PestToast
I'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

@PestToast
What 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

@phoenix lol I hated it. Felt like a cheap spin off to cash in on popularity. Watched like 2 episodes and turned it off. You saying I should watch it?

@PestToast
This 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

@PestToast
Peertube 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.

If you're looking for functionality, then #Friendica comes the closest to the base functionality that #MySpace and Faceplant capitalized upon.

I think that perhaps @hamishcampbell days it best with respect to the #addiction factor - #Dopamine is a powerful thing - just look at the having industry and the... Well, just consider that.

#Diaspora is not an #ActivityPub based system as of this juncture in time, and regarding the differences between how a post looks between say, Friendica and #Pleroma, or even Pleroma and other #Mastodon-esque platforms like #Misskey, etc., There are differences between all of them related to the features that one supports, and another doesn't.

This is a positive, market based incentivization for innovation.

Things will continue to evolve as long as there is interest in a platform and new ones come along all the time - there's no reason, for example, why #Planetary can't support its native #SSB while at the same time offering optional #Matrix protocol and ActivityPub integration, affording its users with a measure of interoperability within those spaces.

Looking back over just the last six months is quite encouraging when you consider the interplatform interactivity that users can take advantage of between projects like #PeerTube, #Pixelfed, #Funkwhale, #Lemmy, and the so-called microblogging platforms in the #Fediverse like Misskey, Mastodon, and Pleroma; while Friendica often serves as a bridge to those using Diaspora protocol and even the largely defacto deprecated #OStatus.

I think the time to begin migrating from the monolithic silos is **yesterday**, and continuing into **tomorrow**.

If all that someone wants is to communicate with their highschool buddies and neighbors, perhaps the best choice is indeed #Faceplant?

The Fediverse implies many different emerging and continuously maturing platforms that speak an assortment of federating protocols - not just ActivityPub, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and with development being community informed and inspired.

Anything that resists that last very important point (community driven), simply gets forked, and that to happens all the time - success is based on merit.

What were really taking about here isn't which platforms are ready at this moment for the non-apathetic, concerned userbase to begin their egress from the monolithic silos, but rather, how we can facilitate the ingress of onboarders in becoming comfortable using rapidly evolving platforms that obviate #Faceplant, and #Reddit, and #YouTube, and #Twatter, and #InstaSPAM, and #Whassup, and #Pinterest, and... ad nauseum.

I hope that helps! :)

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.

@Coffee well, that's not what I said. My point was basically, the fact that you are capable of taking time out of your life to worry about things like this means your life is comparatively easy. I doubt farmers in Congo have time to think about whether money is something they want or not. Our lives are easier than theirs because our system is more effective. It's not that we shouldn't criticize it, it is that we should have some perspective and acknowledge first what we get from it.

@Coffee Imagine you're running around with a loincloth hunting monkeys with a blow dart and the neighboring tribe is plotting to massacre you and steal your daughters. This was the norm for humanity until 100 years ago. The fact that we have created a system that uplifts even 1 person from that is a miracle.

Even being able to think about our current system critically is a privilege afforded to is by the system we are criticizing. And being free to talk about it, try that in China.

@Coffee as far as property taxes, IMO they're the only just taxes because they ensure that your property is defended for you. Ask the Polish if they'd rather pay property taxes or have their eastern and western borders undefended.

You cannot truly own land unless you can defend it, and you can't. The world is an anarchy where the strong have already won. I'm just glad that where I live the strong is a republic created to serve my interests and not Xi Jinping or Jean-Bédel Bokassa.

@Coffee I don't believe there is no out, not really. There are plenty of peoples and places that are out, look at how they live and decide for yourself if that's the life you want. Most people would say no.

I agree that abusive relationships are the norm, but they aren't forced in you at all. You, like most people, just prefer it to the alternative.

You must kill to survive, it is the only natural law. Money enables you to outsource that so you don't have to get your hands dirty.

@Coffee you don't need money to live. You need money to live better than having to kill to survive and living in the mud.

Money is just an abstraction of human organization. If you want to live without money, it isn't that you want to live without money, it is that you are in abusive relationships with who you trade your effort to for money and who you spend it on to get what you need. Break those relationships and find new ones, and you won't mind money so much.
