Relaunching PeerTube.wtf
cross-posted from: lemmy.wtf/post/15732861
First of all, let me apologize to those people who was affected when PeerTube.wtf initially went down.I've been working this past month on building and setting up a fresh version of PeerTube.wtf and this time, I won't be relying on decentralized storage 🙃 🙃 🙃
I've been reading a couple of threads on Lemmy, to better understand what people want expect to be able to do on a PeerTube server, so here goes:
- PeerTube.wtf is a platform for general use. Every topic is welcome.
- The Global Search Index is enabled. This means that the search bar will show results from almost 900 PeerTube servers.
- Remote URI/handle search is enabled. This means, if you know the URL/handle of a channel, that's not part of the Global Search Index, you can still find it via the search bar and subscribe to the channel.
- The Public Index is enabled. This means that PeerTube.wtf will federate with almost a 1000 PeerTube servers.
- Audio-only, 360p, 720p, 1080p and 1440p is enabled. This means that videos uploaded, is provided in these resolutions.
- Video transcription is enabled. Will Automatically create subtitles for uploaded/imported VOD videos.
- Live streaming is enabled. Streams are transcoded in 720p and 1080p at 60 FPS.
- A user has 100GB of storage. This is obviously not sustainable, but is subject to change.
FAQ
.wtf?Yea, it stands for "What The Fediverse". What else could it possibly stand for, that sound as cool?
Where is the server hosted?
It's hosted in Denmark, at my residence. I have 100% ownership and control over it.
What's your specs, bro?
The server is assembled inside an Inter-Tech 2U-2404S, with a:
- AMD Ryzen 3 1200 @ 4 cores
- 16GB of RAM
- nVidia Quadro P600 (hardware transcoding)
- 2x120GB SSDs in raid 1 for OS
- 2x4TB HDDs in raid 1 for the video storage4TB of storage ain't much
That's true, but I will be upgrading the disks eventually.
Why no 4K??
4K takes a lot of space and the majority of users don't have a 4K monitor. In the future, it might change.
I've probably forgotten something, but yea.. Enjoy.

Might make it easier to use an external server as a kind of CDN as well.

Me: "Ah, so maybe not so bad then."
Me: "... and yet..."
Seriously though, I'm all for the Fediverse in all its many forms, and without people like you it wouldn't exist. Thank you.

in reply to Meldrik • • •So, you're in Denmark. I'm in the United States. Does that mean you as the host need to comply with Denmark local laws, and then also just for me, incorporate USA laws as well?
I don't know Denmark law, so lets just asssume that marijuanna is illegal there. In the USA it's illegal on a federal level, but legal in my local state level. Yes, it's confusing. We don't know how to make laws work.....and it's about to get so much worse.
But, lets say I upload a video of me smoking and promoting marijuanna, something that's legal for me to do. If we assume the act of promoting marijuanna is illegal in Denmark, would you be allowed to host that video? Would people in other states, where it's not yet legal, be shown a black screen?

in reply to Lost_My_Mind • • •They would not be able to host that.
Also, it's not legal for you either. Federal law overrides state law.

in reply to catloaf • • •this right here. So many people say "Well it's legal in my state"
...
No what that means is that State officials will not arrest you for doing it, a Federal official can and will arrest you for it if they wanted to. Thats the biggest reason why most of your pot shops don't accept bank/credit cards. Because that makes them more open to federal insight and regulation.
Currently the usage of it isn't a concern of the federal system, so while it's illegal they are not actively enforcing it, but that can change at any moment, and you can bet your ass that if they needed some more dirt on someone, they would use that to their advantage for a search.

in reply to catloaf • • •In the US its definitely not illegal to host a video of people smoking and promoting illegal substances.
In the US its only illegal to possess and sell.

in reply to Meldrik • • •This is great news.
Are the videos that were at peertube.wtf/c/startgametraile… lost forever? It's no big deal, but I'll delete 'em from piefed.social/c/startgametrail… if they are. Thanks.

in reply to poVoq • • •I already had some experience using the P600 with Plex.
It’s essentially just installing the nVidia drivers, install the HW transcoding plugin for PeerTube and then select the nvenc transcoder in the settings.
There’s some extra steps if using Docker or a VM.
poVoq
in reply to Meldrik • • •Ah, right. Nvidia.
I am kinda thinking about using Peertube with an Intel Quicksync capable CPU, which seems to be a bit more complicated.
curbstickle
in reply to poVoq • • •What about it is more complicated? The experience with qsv has always been easier IMO for anything transcode, and I (maybe mistakenly) thought it used ffmpeg for that under the hood?
FWIW, qsv does all my Jellyfin transcoding like an absolute champ, which is why I'm surprised and curious.

Usually when a server allows anything, it collects the things other systems block.

in reply to Meldrik • • •how do I connect my account on the android app?!
I've tried Peertube many times and it's always frustrating. I want it to succeed but it needs to be way simpler
If you've used reddit before it takes 5mn to adapt to Lemmy.
confuser
in reply to Meldrik • • •I don't seem to be able to login, it tells me my password and username/email is incorrect.
Do we have to make a new account because the server is new or am I just running into some kind of error?
Also where can we best see updates about this peertube instance is here on Lemmy good or will they be through peertube or is there not really any solid plans for this yet?
I really appreciate the work going into this it seems like peertube.wtf has the goals in mind that I want out of a YouTube alternative!
Meldrik
in reply to confuser • • •Unfortunately you have to register your account again.
I’ll probably post here on Lemmy, but also via the broadcast function in PeerTube.
Possibly also a Mastodon account at some point.

in reply to jagged_circle • • •Eh always iffy on putting ads on other ppls content (thats all of the internet lol), at least the beauty of the fediverse is they can always leave and host it themselves. I'm sure ads could be done right but I've yet to see it.
People will say you cant expect ppl to do stuff for fre but thy always do they just get overshadowed by ppl making ad money spending money on marketing
