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 !owncast@lemmy.world community, but I’m in no way affiliated with the project. I just love open platforms and open source.

Before anyone asks, here it is:

If anyone checked the filing presentation they literally put questions marks for their profitability. It was HILLARIOUS.

I’ve been on Proton for years and I’ve had a Visionary account for years. Proton’s price doesn’t really go up, but the quality and features does immensely. They give me extra storage every year. I get more VPNs, more password managers, more and more and more. IMO they have a track that shows they care about privacy and want to make things better.

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!

Well aware. And I trust Proton more than my local ISP.

Because the average person doesn’t have a clue and they never think about this kind of thing. I’ve been called a conspiracy theorist by my own father as well as othesr for mentioning Snowden revalatins and using a VPN and all the privacy steps I take on the web.

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.

Pretty sure it’s denying coup attempts.

libreddit is the Reddit front end. Reddit did something, it seems they blocked IP addresses. There are ways around it and folks do have some instances, but there’s sitll a lot out there that don’t work. You can rung your own libreddit and put it through Cloudflare’s bridge thing and then point libredirect to your own libreddit for stability.

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.

Their design was more mobile type wherr you don’t minimize windows, you just switch between them or between spaces. I’ve used Gnome forever, including the rough times on Gnome 3.0, and I’ve always used a system tray as well. Never liked leaving clutter everywhere and imo it goes against the minimal design. But thankfully easily extendible.

Tunic, The Typing of the Dead, Pitfall, Worms Reloaded, Cassette Beasts, Legend of Zelda, TMNT Aracde, Bluey, SMB2 USA, TASBot, Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, Kirby, Castlevania 3, Celeste, Super Mario Maker 2, SMB Wonder, Mario Kart 64, SMB Lost Levels, Lies of P, BG3.

And I plan on waking up early for tbcr’s Fort BOyard: The Challenge. Former coworker of mine and just enjoy his runs and the silliness it brings. Yourself?

Why’d they ban him? Just watched the end and it sounds like they all expected to be banned.

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.
