Like a Bittorrent client you need to expose porch to the outside world because you end up helping to host the network.
Ultimately I preferred a website I could host and visit from anywhere I could get internet to software I needed to run (and set up networking for) anywhere I wanted to use it, but it was a nice system otherwise.
Imaging software is a godsend for that sort of thing. I ended up using BartPE for something like that, and it worked great – it has a free imaging program on it. You only need a removable drive large enough for all your files since it’ll compress everything.
And even if the story is fiction, it kinda isn’t because there’s entire rooms full of the smartest people on earth trying to figure it out.
Why? Because there’s a lot of money and power in division. The presidential elections in 2000, 2008, 2016, and 2020 had the most votes ever. The losers in those elections would often have beaten the winners of the previous key elections if they had the same number of votes. You don’t get more people to register to vote with boring. You get people to come out because they think the other guys are so psychotic that if you don’t vote for the “good guys” you’re not going to have a country anymore.
Peertube is a federated video platform. That means that like lemmy or mastodon, there’s a huge number of different instances. My instance for example, is following 103 other instances, and is followed by 73 other instances. Each instance is hosted by different people, and each have different rules.
Because of the wide variety of instances, it’s truly distributed and so all kinds of things are hosted there, from cat videos to porn and other stuff you typically can’t host on other platforms such as covid conspiracy theory videos.
One peertube channel that is similar to what you’re talking about is minetest videos: [email protected] It’s consistently trending on my feed (but different sites will have different feeds based on what they are or are not federated to).
I think your best bet is to see what’s out there, because there’s a lot of content but it’s sort of like old youtube.
If I were to become a youtuber today, I’d diversify. You can create a youtube channel and mirror it on peertube, for example. I think that some other alt-tech sites like rumble and bitchute have similar features as well, so you could set up a workflow where you post a video and have it show up on a number of different platforms.
The reason peertube is better than youtube is the same reason lemmy is better than reddit and mastodon is better than twitter; It’s libre, distributed, and generally not algorithmically driven.
Oh, one other neat thing: If you ever have a peertube video just blow up and become super popular, peertube uses torrent style technology so video watchers automatically share pieces of the video with one another. Just a little neat thing that helps scale a video site whereas it’s generally tough once you start getting popular.
I was going to use one, but then I just massively increased the character count of my soapbox instance. At 60k I was able to post the first drafts of entire chapters of my book.
The nice thing about a blogging platform is you can organize the long things you’ve written and they don’t just disappear into the void…
I have a feeling you’d end up with a bunch of big drives with small volumes on them if it did work.
Warning you, I’ve had issues with RAID combining SSD and HDD. Basically I was on an older dell server and I wanted to do mirroring and the bios straight up refused to do it because it didn’t want to mix ssds and hdds.
They should just allow bankruptcy to eliminate student debt like other debt. We have debt amnesty for the needy under virtually any other circumstance except this one.
People go “but people will just go to college then declare bankruptcy!” – I mean, they could do the same for medical debt but most people want to have a credit card, a car, or a mortgage in 7 years if they’re on the path to the middle or upper class so most people try to pay their debt.
Using that process also solves the problem of taking money from the poor who work and never went to college and potentially handing it to the rich who just havent paid off their student loans yet.
Announced. They can announce a lot of things they don’t ultimately do because the executive isn’t supposed to make laws and spend money they haven’t been given by Congress.
