So, did a LLM write this story?

How hard are the concept of uploading to more than one platform and dogfeeding selfhosting to understand.

The thing is people always talk about there being not enough content on peertube but then nobody uploads their videos to it even if they have an instance. And on top of it, there is a easy way to synchronize your YouTube and PeerTube channel too if you insist to keep using YouTube for uploading, just add your YouTube channel URL to your PeerTube channel and tell it to synchronize, that’s it, it will do it for you. But for some reason the self hosting YouTubers can’t be bothered with that?

Most of the views would be still in YouTube anyway, and those tremendous amounts are not that big because with PeerTube you share the bandwidth with other instances and even other clients (source: I’m running my own instance).

So they do have a PeerTube instance, just chose not to upload anything to it?

They could always upload a copy to YouTube to reach the rest also.

So why are the videos not self hosted?

Oh god yes, much much easier and without the need of docker and things.

I hosted one Lemmy instance but it is optimized to run thousands of users, I an only one user so the overhead was a lot. As much in fact that it constantly used all the resources on my server so that the other services I run on it stopped working.

PieFed uses much less resources when running as a single user instance like mine. This is why I chose to switch. And now it runs fine on my small server together with all the other services.

It’s a similar software as Lemmy and MBin, but it is written in python: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi

It’s compatible with the Threadyverse, therefore you can read what I’m writing.

I moved to Korea and started posting on r/Korea. I recorded a video of a big fire in Seoul, and because I couldn’t find any news about it I uploaded it to my peertube instance and linked it on r/Korea.

The mods banned me for promoting my own website and said I should have uploaded it to YouTube.

So that resource was gone which was a bummer for me who just moved across the world and didn’t speak Korean. That was my main reason to use reddit.

I already hosted mastodon and when the 3rd party amargeddon happened I heard about Lemmy. I was hoping that there would be a vibrant Korea community which never happened.

But somehow the UX is much better than on mastodon so I stayed. Later I switched the software from Lemmy to PieFed though.

In my family my sister is an antivaxer, so my niece is unvaccinated and has been through some sicknesses - from my perspective unnecessarily. Good that she didn’t get anything langlasting (yet).

I have 3 passports, how does it know which one I want to use?

That’s why I switched on YouTube on the phone to Tubular, but it’s feature that it doesn’t connect to your YouTube account for history and so makes it less usable. But it has another good feature playing audio in the background.

Mobile version because PieFed’s API is still under development.

I think those people like to have fun and they don’t take themselves too seriously.

I don’t think that my perception of it changed in the last 30 years since I was a teenager.

I don’t have a car, but I sometimes drive my wife’s car which is a Volvo S60.
Before I moved countries I had a green Opel Agila, and what made it mine was that I played in cash for it.

So I don’t care much for presents myself and I knew I won’t get much if anything. So when I prepared the gifts for the children and the wife I also made two for me, in one I put in a orange and in the other one a banana. The family was surprised and we had a big lough about it and then I ate both :D
