I genuinely do a lot of coding in Kate, the standard KDE editor. It’s enough to do a lot of things, has highlighting, and is more than enough when you just need a quick fix.

I am also still using nano when editing stuff in the terminal. Please, don’t judge me.

While this is very funny, and definitely representative of a sort of ignorance/arrogance commonly found in ideologues - I recently learned that most people talking about the effect have, in fact, been Dunning-Krugering themselves.

Insightful video on the topic.

What most people expect the effect to look like:

What the actual results were:

See my comment to kayzeekayzee, I don’t think local options exist - but I am also relatively new myself - so maybe someone else knows something.

But if you have those 10TB somewhere you can put behind a domain name and server installation - This is the official documentation.

Of note: The part in the config file (usually /var/www/peertube/config/production.yaml) looks like this (my current config as an example)

redundancy:
  videos:
    check_interval: '15 minutes' # How often you want to check new videos to cache
    strategies: # Just uncomment strategies you want
      -
        size: '50GB'
        # Minimum time the video must remain in the cache. Only accept values > 10 hours (to not overload remote instances)
        min_lifetime: '48 hours'
        strategy: 'most-views' # Cache videos that have the most views
      -
        size: '150GB'
        # Minimum time the video must remain in the cache. Only accept values > 10 hours (to not overload remote instances)
        min_lifetime: '48 hours'
        strategy: 'trending' # Cache trending videos
      -
        size: '100GB'
        # Minimum time the video must remain in the cache. Only accept values > 10 hours (to not overload remote instances)
        min_lifetime: '48 hours'
        strategy: 'recently-added' # Cache recently added videos
        min_views: 10 # Having at least x views

As far as I know, no options exist for something like a local PeerTube instance without a proper server, without also having a domain name, so doing it locally is a bit complicated.

I’d guess the closest would be to have tabs open with videos you want to mirror, so you are a peer via webtorrent for those, but that is clunky, and I am unsure how well it would even work without having the tabs active.

But I am relatively new to this as well, so maybe someone else has some info I am lacking right now.

Basically, you can set up your PeerTube server to mirror videos from your federated network according to algorithms (and also by adding videos manually).

PeerTube uses the WebTorrent protocol, so that a video that gets super popular isn’t as likely to crash the server it’s on or essentially DDOS it. In this case, my server has a significant portion of HDD space set aside for some servers I trust to have quality content, so that recent videos, trending videos and their overall most watched videos are mirrored by mine (rotating them in and out automatically). The server will be a peer seeding the video while it is watched anywhere, thus reducing the load on the original server, and making the video more resilient against uptime failure of the original server.

One of the big - but to be expected - problems had always been, that basically every group or individual could don the “Anonymous” label. But yeah, this is in the spirit of the anti-authoritarian hacker identity, that it started out with.

When I was still smoking, I always forgot my little portable ashtray, so I did this a lot. My pants were abysmally smelly - but I can’t stand cigarette littering.

If you don’t have any money, maybe you can also help if you have a bit of extra space on your HDD - by mirroring some things (especially in the torrent form and seeding), it will at least be one more redundancy of some things in the worst case.

EDIT: Turns out, there is a [or at least one] tool for it:

Yupp, that’s why I added (succesfully) to my plea. Unfortunately, I think you are very right.

From the little that seems to be available at the time of this comment, it feels like someone confused and disturbed, not like a properly planned-out-attempt at anything.

The Secret Service received information from local police about an alleged “suicidal individual” who was traveling from Indiana and found the man’s car and a person matching his description nearby.

“As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel,” the Secret Service said in a statement.

The man was hospitalized. The Secret Service said his condition was “unknown.”

Oh, please, oh please, I hope it won’t be (succesfully) used for even more repression.

I understand concerns about fragmentation, but recently, I have been more and more in favour of “why not both” as an approach. Basically: One de-facto “central” community, and many local communities. Main reason being, that this will help the Fediverse grow without losing it’s “soul” so to speak. Where - hopefully eventually - there will be those central communities with a reddit-like experience for the topic, and then also local ones, where smaller communities around the topic, without the traps of large, “mainstream” communites, can form.

Basically: Resident enfranchisement. It’s weird, when people born in our country and having lived here their whole life can’t vote outside of local elections. My own father, for example, had a Dutch background, and was never allowed to vote in federal elections until his death. (Neither he nor I even spoke/speak a single phrase of Dutch)

Yes, things have gotten somewhat better and easier with applications for citizenship, but that there are hurdles like that to begin with, is a bit… weird.

The investments are being placed through opaque structures known as special-purpose vehicles, which have the benefit of concealing the investors’ identities, to avoid the ire of US authorities and companies wary of Chinese capital during a nadir in relations between the two countries.

Asset managers behind the deals have told investors that the entities are specifically designed to avoid disclosure. The use of special-purpose vehicles in financing is commonplace and there is nothing illegal about the arrangements.

Still, it raises concerns about the potential for undue influence and conflicts of interest at a time when Musk has unprecedented involvement in US policy, politics and business.

Funnily enough, to me personally, there are more questions about what this means concerning Chinese politics and conflicts of interests in the future. The country is not without its own tensions, after all.

The inflow of Chinese capital into Musk’s business empire is primarily profit-driven and has little to do with technology transfer or influencing public policy, according to people involved in the transactions.

With a sluggish domestic economy, wealthy Chinese are looking abroad for investment opportunities.

To me, personally, it serves as a reminder that no amount of red flags waved or social-democratic laws saying “wealth is going to serve the interests of the working class” makes a country communist, only material realities can.

Besides that material interest, there is also cognitive dissonance because of ideological distortions. If you believe things were fine before Trump, you were already adept at closing your eyes to problems. Including very fundamental problems, which helped to put the clique of billionaire grifters and outright fascists into power.

Don’t choose Germany, though, we (and a lot of nations, actually) still for some reason have citizenship-by-blood/heritage laws more or less straight out of the 19th century, not citizenship-by-birthplace laws.

Funnily enough, I had never gotten one on my old account which was >4 years old on .ml - but after I made this one on my own instance, in less than a day, I finally got one.

This is really cool! I think you’d also get a good reception over at !artshare@lemmy.world

By now: Yeah, there are some nice creators on PeerTube. Overall, it feels a bit more like old YouTube, many more people just creating because they want to, instead of chasing fame, as well as bizarre and weird little videos here and there. One advantage of it: It has much better native embedding into Lemmy (at least on newer versions)!

Much like in other fedi-places, it’s work to curate your own feed instead of having algorithms feed you. I have ADHD, so usually, I have some video or something running on my second screen while working on other stuff, and whenever my attention is spent, I switch to there and scour the recent or trending feed (or new vids from subscribers) for something interesting to share and watch.

For anyone interested - I am always happy to plug !peertube@lemmy.world - we recently hit 200 subscribers and have been steadily growing. If you are looking for an instance to join, I am still tinkering with it, but mine is open to new applications for as long as the server resources allow.

I’m currently busy setting up my own Lemmy instance and PeerTube instance. Before the Fediverse, YT and Reddit were basically the only things I used, I was never a big fan of twitter-like social media. So those slot in nicely into those itches to scratch. (although there are still some creators I follow on YT, I have been watching it a lot less after getting serious with PeerTube)
