Was anyone aware that OBS now offers "Enhanced Broadcasting" aka Multritrack Video? This offloads video transcoding to the person that is streaming their content and off of the servers themselves.

This is the single biggest cost of hosting a livestreaming server. If users are willing to use what's in their system we can make the bar to entry incredibly low.

i didn't get that sense @dansup. i wouldn't want to conflate @mastodonmigration 's feedback w/ criticism

for example, the main thing preventing me from joining #PeerTube is how difficult it is to join peertube. they can take that as criticism, or they can address it

#Loops is in beta. it's guaranteed to have some issues. that's not a criticism of loops per se

& i still believe Loops is an excellent opportunity to bring TikTokers to the #Fediverse. feedback to improve it is necessary

Hier gibt es die Folien zum Berliner Fedi Workshop anlässlich des 2. Di.Day!

Da wir ja einige neue Anmeldungen auf https://punk.photos, https://punktube.net und https://punkstodon.de haben, könnt ihr alle stolz behaupten: #didit !

Und von uns bekommt ihr ein #dutgemacht !

Die Veranstaltung hat uns wirklich Spaß gemacht, wir hoffen euch auch!
Danke an @stullekovski und Team für die location, und die Gastfreundschaft.
Danke an @kneelz von https://berlin.askapunk.de für's mitmachen.
Und danke @Paulaprachtkind für die leckeren Muffins (ich hätte mir welche wegsaven sollen)

Falls ihr Anmerkungen habt, könnt ihr uns diese gerne privat oder öffentlich hier in den Kommentaren zukommen lassen.

Folien: https://codeberg.org/fedipunx/fedipunx_propaganda/raw/branch/main/diday_2026_02_01/diday_presentation.pdf

Wir laden die Folien abends auch noch mal auf punx.social rauf, jetzt ist leider erst mal Lohnarbeit angesagt 😞
("ist das noch Punkrock? ... ich glaube nicht" )

P.s. den Link zu der speziell für diesenTage erstellten Berliner Anmeldungsseite haben wir aus der Folie entfernt, aber ich glaub das konntet ihr euch auch merken, ansonsten schreibt uns eine PM.
Die bleibt noch etwas online,verschwindet dann aber wieder.

danke auch an den @CCC Save Social und dem Kleinkünstler @marcuwekling für das ganze ins Leben rufen 💗

@dansup Interesting stats. Longer term, what do you think of #PeerTube's model: as I grasp it they offer both web direct download but also "P2P (using WebRTC) to exchange parts of the video with other users watching the same video to save server bandwidth."
"https://docs.joinpeertube.org/admin/configuration

@dansup With that you wonder; why is it 'needed' to have so complex AI discovery algorithms that uses every bit of you data and actions to display you the more brainrotted and slopped videos you have ever seen?

This weekend I am going to check out Loops, I honestly had lost the faith on it but now I see that it came out! If I like it, I offer myself to write the whole app translation into spanish myself as I did with #PeerTube if help i needed!

Lately I tried PeerTube and Loops both but they kinda suck compared to TikTok.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the reasons they do. As well as the fact that by using them I help them grow.

Starting a federated, open source alternative to a major proprietary service is nearly impossible, isn't it.

Makes me even happier for Mastodon being a viable alternative to Twitter.
