No. There’s only really one port for I2P specifically that you could open, but even that is not necessary.

It doesn’t. It only works in tandem with the iCloud app from the Microsoft Store.

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

The software is free, but hardware is not. You could buy an old laptop or even something really cheap, like an Orange Pi Zero.

My pleasure 🙂

I also made a list of channels: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15810205

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??? 🙏

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.

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.

From PeerTube docs:

At the beginning of PeerTube, we only supported Web Video (previously known as “WebTorrent”) streaming. Due to several limitations of the Web Video system, we had to add HLS with P2P support. Unfortunately, we can’t use the same video file for the two methods: we need to transcode 2 different versions of the file (a fragmented mp4 for HLS, and a raw mp4 for Web Videos).

So if you enable Web Videos and HLS, the storage will be multiplied by 2.

We recommend you to enable HLS (and disable Web Videos if you don’t want to store 2 different versions of the same video resolution) because video playback in PeerTube web client is better:

• Support P2P (using WebRTC) to exchange parts of the video with other users watching the same video to save server bandwidth

• Support video redundancy by other PeerTube platforms

• The player can adapt video resolution automatically

• Video resolution change is smoother

It’s probably not WebTorrent you are using, HLS.

Also, thank you for running with redundancy! I need to get it setup myself, with some new SSDs.

There’s nothing stopping you installing PeerTube on your own home server and uploading your videos to that.

If your internet bandwidth is low, you can have other PeerTube servers mirror your videos.

So when someone watches your videos, it will not only download the data from your home server, but also from other PeerTube servers that mirror your videos.

It won’t reduce server storage usage, because the video needs to be placed somewhere, but it will reduce bandwidth and traffic usage.

Some PeerTube websites have Sepia Search enabled, so fx from PeerTube.wtf, you can search through 1000+ servers.

It’s still there, but it is not recommended.

PeerTube still have P2P though, but not using torrent technology.
