Da mir gerade aufgefallen ist, dass mindestens eine Person kurz verwirrt war von meinen zuerst falsch antizipierten Herzchen, hier nochmal eine version, die glaube ich keinen Konflikt ergeben sollte:

Hab mal fix eine neue Version geGIMPt:

They do link to the actual study, which does not throw up any immediately obvious signs to be cautious for me, but I also couldn't do the detailed work of deeper research myself. They reference a hypothesis that preceded the study, which they were trying to test with this. I don't know if this is a case of bias or even manipulation at work, but at least at a superficial glance, it doesn't immediately scream "total hacks doing unscientific things."

Ich würz den ganzen Tag und ich würz die ganze Nacht

No sad onions allowed!

This is what the biggest brand of those are called in Germany:

A lot of people would probably agree, that Bussy is a warrior's dessert.

As per the actual mod page linked in the article, it's a standalone mod, seemingly dating back further than openRA even, but I'd wager probably by now heavily intertwined with it.

Ah, I am sad to hear that. And sorry that has been your experience.

As only an amateur coder, I can't weigh in how serious the issue is, but I'm gonna take your word for it, without any other person involved adding input. I hope it'll end up in a state, where the project can still sustain its growth in both features and users.

Dude.... you are literally claiming A) that I am vegan when I explicitly wrote that I am not, and B) that I am "not open to alternatives", when I myself mentioned two aspects concerning how animal raising can be done sustainably, only that that is not what our current system favours due to reasons of maximising profitability.

So, I do get where you are coming from - but there are some things to consider. Firstly: while domestication and animal husbandry are pretty old, factory farming and such is very recent and has given everything a pretty new touch. While I think it's still valid to bring up as an argument, "X has existed as a pillar of our life for thousands of years" is usually not a great argument in and of itself, the same could easily be used to argue for slavery and a lot of other fucked up shit in history.

Besides that, there is sustainability. Yes grass-fed cattle can actually be sustainable, and allow for utilising land that is otherwise not usable to produce food. Also there is plant matter and "waste" from farming and food production more broadly, that can be utilised in feeding livestock sustainably, which would otherwise be composted anyway (and in some cases, gets pre-composted pretty well by said animals). So, yes, there are ways to produce meat and other animal-derived products sustainably ... but that is usually a bit of a cop-out, trying to divert attention from how the vast, vast majority of meat production is not sustainable in mostly water and CO2 numbers.

Personally speaking, I am also not vegan and not an animal rights activist - but claiming it is simply a continuation does miss some aspects.

Congratulations Ruud & Rest - everyone at the foundation really, it's just fun to say Ruud & Rest! I'm excited to see how this will develop. PieFed does have a lot of features already, that I do miss for Lemmy, and the communication from the main dev has been great so far. (An opportunity to post links to his PeerTube channel, as well as his Liberapay profile).

A great addition to the "Threadiverse" in particular, and the larger Fediverse!

OI! DAT PYUNEE HUMEE'Z NO PROPAH KRORK IT IZN'T!

You actually make a great point. Really, for me it was mostly a quick idea because I had been musing about PeerTube's streaming capabilities in a different comment thread, and about how it leverages the P2P mechanism, so it was fresh on my mind that I wanted to stress-test my own server somehow (and I wanted to learn how to set-up OBS with chat and stuff for PeerTube). Then, while "working" on the canvas, I had the sudden: "Hey, I'd love to set my pixels while zoomed in, while also watching the whole field zoomed out"-thought ... but of course that would just as easily be possible by just having two browser windows open 🤷

If nothing else, I got some promising data showing my server can handle several people tuning in to live streams at the same time - and I am also using this to test how my server handles someone wanting to encode a 24h+ VOD from a stream, so that will be there, too - probably for another time-lapse in addition to the official ones.

So, if you haven't checked that one already, !peertube@lemmy.wtf has a great sticky post with recommendations! (Lemmyverse Link for instance-agnostic linking.)

From a quick glance, your content could probably fit well on https://spectra.video/ - as long as it is OC, it has a good home there. If you want to utilize automatic mirroring from YT with the built-in yt-dlp feature of PeerTube, https://peertube.wtf/ still had that one working last time I checked. (Problem there being that YT blocks IP ranges from most servers, so yt-dlp will fail to download the videos).

Lastly, I can advertise my own instance - although I am slowly reaching the point where I will have to consider not taking on more accounts, and it is still just a personal project - whereas other instances in the above list have been around for quite a while longer and are more proven on that front.

Thank you very much! What was the trick to finding it? Always interested in new techniques there. Also, glad tinfoil hats were not needed.

EDIT: look at the comment answer to this one for a link to the study!

So, just out of interest, because the article here is rather short and lacking in sources, I wanted to see some details of the study. I found another article, quoting a few additional things, as well as linking to the study PDF. Well, the PDF link is broken - and trying to search for it yields no useful results. I tried by topic, I tried by number derived from the link (BDV25-977-13). I tried on the Florida Department of Transportation site, as well as the University of South Florida site. Either I am stupid in my approach, or for some weird reason, the study has been retracted from public publishing? I don't want to put on too much of a tinfoil hat here, but with Florida's administration being what it is, I would not be too surprised if that tinfoil hat is actually appropriate here, and it was retracted for not fitting the narrative.

As an anecdotal point: I'd actually expect there to be a slightly higher "recklessnes" score for cyclist - but only because cycling does not require a license, and cyclists can be kids and teenagers, with sometimes a lacking understanding of traffic rules. (I know I regularly and unwittingly broke some traffic laws here in Germany as a student cycling to school, which I only realised later in life).

Oooh...

It's meant to be "Go on". That took me way too long, truly embarrassing amounts of onlineness. I was about to ask here what they were thinking "[to] goon" was supposed to mean. Or if this was in the henchmen lounge of the local BBEG's lair.

Last time I checked with them https://peertube.wtf/ had their import script still working. The problem being: YouTube blocks IP ranges that seem suspicious to them, so as soon as you have any professional server, it tends to come with an IP from a range YT blocks, so the yt-dlp + autoimport feature of PeerTube won't work any more.

If you have your videos still as original files ready to upload, and just want an instance in general, or if downloading and uploading by hand isn't daunting to you - here's a good list for an overview - (here's also a Lemmyverse link for instance-agnostic access to the same post.)

That would indeed be interesting to see. Who knows, it might crash everything after all. From what I have seen, it might play out favourably.

I had noticed this channel when browsing the "most watched of all time" list, I have no idea about them and their content, as I don't speak their language, but I assume they probably chose PeerTube as an (additional?) hosting option for content they already had an audience for (seemingly from YT?), probably embedding their videos on an external website with a following?

Any way, back then (the numbers are misleading, btw, because the x years ago lists from the originally-published date, not the date-uploaded), they seem to have garnered thousands of views, so probably easily hundreds of viewers simultaneously. The interesting part: The server they uploaded on has the technical info listed, and that reads very much "laptop at someone's private home".

Unless the numbers have been fudged - which I will grant, is always a possibility - that bodes well for any hosting that's done even just a bit more professionally. It should be able to relatively easily scale up even to thousands concurrently, again, if those numbers aren't doctored. And it makes sense, at least to me - downloading torrents has worked like that for a long time now, too - even for torrents that aren't "professionally" seeded with dedicated servers.

It's pretty amazing how well that scales, really. What surprised me the most was, that it also works well for live streams - I witnessed that in action when heise (that huge German tech publisher which recently created their own instance and you may have seen a lot in the trending videos) streamed their live show for the first time. Even on a live stream, towards the middle when I checked, I had more downloaded from peers than from the central server, and more uploaded than downloaded.

I also have my instance set up to mirror a lot of videos from trustworthy, popular instances - and even so, traffic statistics show no issues whatsoever so far, if something really does attract lots of concurrent viewers, the p2p feature handles that quite efficiently.

Now, if only storage was trivial in cost, too, costs for running PeerTube would basically be the same as for text/image-focused Fediverse stuff.
