  • When is it time to switch away from youtube?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure whether you're asking why to use a frontend vs YouTube rawdog or conflating Odysee/Peertube with a YouTube frontend. I thought they were frontends as well for a long time.

    If you're asking why to use a frontend proxy for YouTube, there could be a few reasons. The obvious being privacy concerns, but other people prefer the less cluttered interface, no ads, no YouTube premium or sign in with google popups, no manipulative algorithm.

  • This is actually a brilliant idea.

  • To play devil's advocate, I could argue the monetization of YouTube has lead to all of the quirks of the platform people like us hate.

    • Shilling scams and shitty products
    • Biased reviews
    • Corporate pressured censorship
    • Age restriction
    • Algorithm optimized content
    • The general corporatization of YT (see YouTube Rewind feature Will Smith and a bunch if other celebrities)

    The list goes on.

    Although I agree there should at least be some way for creators to recoup the expenses they put towards producing videos. An ad-free patreon style donation system seems the most practical and balanced from what Ive experienced.

  • Fair point. I'm sure many would disagree with me, but for web video anything more than HD is pointless except for very niche content. But even HD streaming at scale is taxing and expensive.

    Airlines make the majority of their money from a small percentage of flyers paying business and 1st class. I think there's a world where this principal can be applied to something like peertube hosting in some form.

  • Do you mind sharing your channel? EDIT: Nvm found it. Added the new hyprland video to my watch list.

    And can I ask how you find other interesting channels?

    I'm sure you weighed the pros and cons of Peertube vs Odysee. What made you choose peertube?

  • When is it time to switch away from youtube?

  • I agree with you for the majority of "content creators". But I think there's a sizable number of people who aren't interested in making videos for a profit and I imagine there's a fair overlap with people in this community and the fediverse at large.

    If I were to create videos I would make them on either peertube or Odysee. I wasn't really aware of either platform other than vague whispers of them until recently, and I find it difficult to gauge the community sentiment on which of these platforms would be suitable for finding interesting content as well as posting it, hence this post.

  • Fastest disk-space usage analyzer (for files), faster than ncdu?

    Jump

  • I'd like to know as well, but it seems strange for ncdu to take that long. I scan through terrabytes within a few seconds.

  • YouTube will ban Premium accounts made through VPN

    Jump

  • I haven't had that experience at all and I've been here for years. Maybe you're lurking in the wrong subs.

  • Bazzite has gained nearly 10k users in 3 months while other Fedora Atomic distros remain fairly stagnant

    Jump

  • Lots of shit-talking Bazzite...

    I don't game much but when I do it's on Fedora.

    What distro do you all recommend for my Windows buddy looking to switch to gaming on Linux?

  • Do you guys just have flawless experiences or what?

    Jump

  • We've all been there. It's super frustrating but once you've attained enough experience with a Linux OS you come to appreciate it and the problems either become less impactful or disappear as you learn to anticipate your actions causing said issues and adjust your behavior accordingly.

    I've been a Windows user for multitudes longer than I've been a Linux user. It took me a few years to become a fairly advanced user of Linux. When I occasionally have to use Windows for work I still struggle to troubleshoot anything and am constantly frustrated knowing a task I'm doing could be many times simpler if I was on Linux.

  • This frustrates me to no end. I follow piracy and privacy communities that only use discord for discussion. It defies logic.

  • USB-C ports no longer sending/receiving data (Lenovo X1 carbon)

    Jump

  • Try turning off the device, remove the battery, then take a safety pin and compressed air and scrape out any dust I'm the usb-c port then spray with air. I had a issue with my phone charging but not getting data. I spent a solid 15mins doing the above and it fixed it.

    A good test is to see how firmly the usb-c sticks in the port. If it comes out pretty easy or feels seated sloppily then it probably just needs a good cleaning.

  • Buying Private tracker invites

  • I have trouble finding multi language releases through the usual avenues.

  • Buying Private tracker invites

    Jump

  • Thanks. Yeah I watch all of the open signups feeds and Ive got a TL account. I'm trying to get into a Spanish dub tracker but there's not many

  • Buying Private tracker invites

    Jump

  • Much appreciated but no thank you. Right now I'm specifically trying to get into a tracker for Spanish dubs. Ive got a bunch of English TV/Movie trackers so I'm good on that front.

  • Buying Private tracker invites

    Jump

  • I appreciate you. To me it seems silly to advocate for piracy and also place some moral line when it comes to buying access to a tracker. In some cases you just want quick access without the whole rigmarole of waiting for an opensignup or having to take a test/application.

    It would be cool if I could simply pay the tracker directly to get access. Once I'm there they'll see I keep a great ratio anyway. Maybe the seedbox angle could achieve that.

  • Thanks this sounds perfect. Just need to figure out how to get an invite. I hate that they can only be contacted over discord. Ugh

  • We started a new privacy podcast.

    Jump

  • I use Signal but I keep signal use to personal IRL contacts. I don't use Matrix as much anymore but if you have a matrix room I'd join in. I'm on the more advanced side of the privacy lifestyle so my communications are highly compartmentalized. Simplex is a bit clunky still but for smaller communities it's not terrible.

  • We started a new privacy podcast.

    Jump

  • Do you have plans to make a Simplex group soon? You mentioned on the pod it's where you two first met. Would love to chat and Simplex is the most private option imo.
