Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000

(and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger).

We are seeing:

Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!

ok. so i’ve got around 30tb (and counting) of live music recordings from a small club that hosts national touring folk and americana acts. i would LOVE to have it accessible somewhere other than youtube with all the fukin ads, but i am not sure how to go about making them peer tube accessible.

the instances that i’ve looked into have pretty low caps on storage and for clear and understandable reasons. but that leaves me in the lurch. i’m not able to set up my own instance as the recordings are ongoing and that takes all my available time and resources.

anyone have some knowledge that it don’t?

long live the fediverse.

You could upload the files to a S3 bucket, which would give them a url on the web. Then just make a PieFed post which links to each MP4 file.

Piefed will detect that it's a video post and embed it in the page with player controls. If you use a community just for your videos then the RSS feed of that community will effectively be a podcast.

S3 buckets are pretty cheap but 30 tb is still going to cost you. Transcode to a smaller file before upload, ideally.

thanks for that. i’m currently saving up for more drives to create the second copy of the 1-2-3 backup scheme. the gang of 2tb ssd’s are all i’ve got aside from the compressed-to-fuck youtube copies. that’s been creating quite a bit of anxiety for me being in charge of so many other peoples artworks.

we started in 2020 and do 6-10 90 minute shows a week, so it’s a lot to be responsible for. of course they aren’t all gems, but imo they all do deserve to be part of the larger document of this time and place.

if anyone is interested the youtube videos are made searchable on https://www.livefromnorfolkstreet.com/

click on the ARCHIVE link in the nav bar. no paywall.

i’d recommend the alejandro escovedo shows. he’s always great and i did the live lights for a few of his shows.

@rimu @turdburglar And it's worth noting that you don't have to use AWS for S3 buckets. I use iDrive, who are quite a bit cheaper than Amazon, and you can also opt to have your buckets on European servers, which may be a plus.

I think they have generous discounts in the first year to hook you in, but even after that they're still cheaper than Amazon.

The Fediverse is more stable than my country's government

Finna guess right quick.

US?

Had to look at my keyboard to translate that.

While the letters are adjacent, I don't think that was a typo. "Finna" is pretty common slang, just a variant of "gonna"

Oh. That's a new one for me.

I'm curious what it will look like when school starts

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Why would this change anything?

[–] mereo@piefed.ca 28 points 1 day ago

The Fediverse is the way. In this Financialised capitalism, capitalist platforms will continue to be enshitified as they only tend to shareholders interests of continual growth. They do not care about humans.

We need to keep this momentum going.
