Not all companies NEED cloud and containers. But execs push it anyway. That’s my point. As I said, they have actual use, but not EVERYONE NEEDS this shit. It’s just tech-bros telling us we need it and execs being too stupid to know otherwise.

Oh shit, already forgot
The next big thing is “investing” in NFTs!
The next big thing is moving all of your servers to the cloud!
The next big thing is moving all of your software to containers!
The next big thing is moving all of your money to crypto!
The next big thing is moving everything to AI!
Yes we’re in ANOTHER tech gold rush. Not saying these things don’t have their place, but the tech industry is infatuated with the next big thing and burning through money and the ones that get burnt are the average working folks. Ask me how I know, currently in year two of a hiring and pay freeze as AWS isn’t as cheap as predicted… Who could have fucking guessed? They mean besides everyone but the CTO that’s fucking who!
In other words
Neuralink to implant 2nd human with brain chip as 85% of first one failed.

Owncast Stream whatever you want on your own platform and announce natively to the Fediverse!
IDK why but tons of folks think it’s not feasible as they need million dollar computers. I’ve streamed to 70+ open streams, albeit as a test, on a like $5/month VPS. The key is that the resources needed are how many qualities you’re transcoding, not how many folks are viewing. Yes bandwidth is needed for each viewer, but that’s significantly less than people imagine.
Full transparency I run the [email protected] community, but I’m in no way affiliated with the project. I just love open platforms and open source.
I stream on Owncast and really enjoy it. One of the easiest installations I’ve ever had with software. And despite what lots of folks think you don’t need a million dollars to stream to groups of folks.
Full disclosure I run the [email protected] community and actively promote it on Matrix if anyone is interested or need help. :-D
No, I disagree. Threads is blocked. POTUS decided to set up an account on a blocked instance.
I mainly use Matrix for myself, my family, and have rooms set up for a community.
Discord I have and use as a couple groups of friends are still and basically every game dev uses Discord now and you have to go to Discord to find out any info about the game, look up tips/hints, or even report bugs. FUN!
Wife and I just had this conversation about drinking in the US. Legal drinking age is 21. So if you’re born Feb 29th, can you drink on the 28th? No. If your birthday is January 2nd, you can’t drink on January 1st. Only makes sense to me that it’d be March 1st, but I’m born in Dec, so not really my choice or opinion that matters. :-D Just saying.
We can thank US Government for FORCING these companies to allow you to freeze your credit report. It used to be a state by state thing, else you had to pay them like $10 to freeze and unfreeze, unless you had PROOF that your identity was stolen.
Especially considering Equifax had that little “oopsy” (they already leaked all your personal info) 7 years ago, you should absolutely 100% freeze your credit report.
YES you have to unfreeze it when you’re needed to check your credit, but how often does that happen?
Honestly it’s a great excuse to turn down a pushy salesman as well. “Well I really wanna buy this car, but I have to unfreeze my credit report first and my info is at home, so I’ll be back.”
And do you REALLY need that 10th credit card for get that $10 coupon for Khols? Nah.
It’s a bit of work to set up, but once you set it up don’t forget you get a free credit report yearly from each bureau. So space them out every 4 months and then check them yearly.
It happened at 0900 EST, about an hour and a half ago. However, I will be uploading the video to Peertube if you’re interested I can post it here once it’s up. I just saw your message a short time ago after the repair was done, sorry I missed it.
He once breast fed a flamingo back to health! TO BILL BRASKY!
Wow! Thanks for sharing amd all the detail. Amazing stuff. Loved reading it.
It was in the description of the video, but it’s a Hetzner VPS with 3 cores, 4GB of ram, 80GB disk, 20TB bandwidth.
I’m just spreading the word.
Have you used it? Have you looked at the docs? You can use a S3 bucket to handle distribution, though I’ve never done it. Nor am I going to theorize what will or won’t work.
People didn’t think the Fediverse wouldn’t work yet here we are.
As for any number of video software, I’d love to know. I enjoy tech. Owncast works seamlessly with the Fediverse and OBS. I get to control my platform and it’s what I know so I use it. If there is better out there, I don’t know what I don’t know.
And lastly I personally enjoy the small internet. And I’m assuming folks here do as well, hence why we’re all here. Plenty of other platforms that work better.
Do you have millions of viewers? With beefy enough hardware I’d assume you could, but not even the biggest streamers on Twitch stream to millions of viewers at a time. But that’s just gaming. I know that Owncast is leveraged by all kinds of folks for different purposes. Some churches use it to broadcast to their congregation, some weddings have done it, funerals, radios, local public access channels, etc.
I personally have a VPS on Hetzner, not sure about others. Obviously hosting is the thing. But I run a VPS for like $8/month, again on Hetzner, and I’ve done small live streams to about 15 people without much issue.
Owncast is a free and open source self hosted live streaming platform. Basically think of Twitch or YouTube Livestreams on your own hardware.
Pays $40 billion to allow people to be shadow toxic. What an amazing innovator in our midsts. We’re all just so jealous we wish we could be so genius …
Fucking moron.
