  • You will probably get the best answers from the peertube community so I suggest you crosspost your question there.

    That said, I host a peertube instance. It is the same as any other fediverse service but it is very young so dont expect it to be on par with mastodon and lemmy in terms of usability.

    As with all other services, you can make an account on an instance, seeing only what that instance allows you to, either by specifically allowing or disallowing other servers.

    So if you want the user experience, check joinpeertube.org for a rather well connected (and or maybe large) instance and join if you want to upload content. If not, you can just use your mastodon account to follow creators or comment on their videos.

    If you want freedom to do as you please, you need to get a server that is online (as in not in your home network or at least exposed but treat with caution). You can then install a peertube instance of your own, ideally with a custom domain. Then you can join the network and federate with who and whatever you like.

    In any case, framatube is a great company imo but their marketing just isnt that good. Peertube has so much potential and it could be further along by now.

    But dont get me wrong. It is still great and here to stay.

    Good luck.



  • Well, reading up on the modlog, the things that were removed were riddled with rhetoric. Try to leave the judgement out of your words and you‘ll probably have a better time.

    Even the post you made to complain about it is problematic. Not everyone here is a native english speaker. Even those might not have the will to read through your four line long sentence.

    Also, me joining the apple fanbois club and telling them why apple is not great just does not make sense. Same goes for veganism or any other thing people like. Critical discussions are for the broader fields, not the „fan convention“.



  • Okay, thanks for elaborating.

    I agree. There are many selfish people out there. But they dont live in a vacuum. In a world where you have the repsonsibility for your surroundings, many people could rise to the occasion. Also, if a water pipe breaks in front of my home and you decide to vote against fixing it together, what do you think will happen to you, either when you need help or if I‘m vindictive, sooner?

    We dont have anything to compare our living conditions to because we have never lived any different than now. We dont attempt to test self governed communities. What do you think why that is?

    One hint that shows me that it works are coops. They work without central oversight because its not the oversight that makes us interact but our own intellect.




  • Thats a really good question! Thank you.

    This idea is part of a larger premise so I‘d need to establish a VERY different reality that most of us live in now. Funny enough, your point of people acting out of pure self interest is one part that would go first because these people would not survive the world I‘m imagining.

    Federation is part of anarchism and in most interpretations I‘ve heard and read so far, communities would work for their shared benefit so of course you fix your neighbors roof, otherwise they will not help you in the future.

    I‘ve been their webhosting for 10 years and besides some minor errors (website didnt work for 30 mins here and there) I‘m very happy.

    I informed myself about their cloud programme with help of a sales rep and although it is quite expensive compared to hetzner, it seems very usable.

    I dont think you need to worry about them for a vps. Its not like they would rob you or your data will be lost. They might turn out to be slightly better or worse than hetzner long term which would both be fine in my book.





  • Your setup sounds much too complex and misses key information and troubleshooting steps. The flat cables are kind of the cherry on top.

    You need to start laying out which devices grab which stuff from where and which cables, switches, routers and panels you are using.

    Otherwise people wont be able to help you. A new router isnt going to help you at all.

    Example: I run plex on a terra miniserver, stream to my phones and computers over wifi (the server is connected via cat7 wired networking with a tested gigabit connection). I also stream to a libreelec-pi in another room which is also on wifi and has issues sometimes. That is why I‘m gonna wire the connection later this month so that is no issue. I also have an appletv in the livingroom which is connected by wire and has no buffering. There are 3 gigabit switches and a fritz!box also connected but they‘re all gigabit as well: Between PCs and the main router, appletv and the main router and the server and the main router.



  • My interpretation was by far the most generous to your position, because it’s the only way it’s coherent.

    You’re entitled to your opinion, I guess.

    hardware that doesn’t actually provide anything anyone can realistically use

    Thats misrepresenting reality and making assumptions while clearly showing lack of expertise

    at a reasonable price

    Thats completely arbitrary. If a price is reasonable or not depends on many factors. Obvious oversymplification.

    That’s treating a current purchase as an imaginary investment in maybe eventually being able to buy something useful.

    This shows that you have no idea what you are talking about. Small companies and open source projects depend on people buying their products instead of cheaper, sometimes better performing products of big conglomerates for other reasons than price alone.
