"Volume Up makes volume number go up"

Sí de hecho por ahí va la cosa.

Me imagino que la entrada del crontab va a ser así como 0 10 * * 1 /path/to/crear_hilo_semanal.sh (el 0 10 es para hacerlo a las 10 de la mañana del lunes, como el chiste de Alvarito Salas).

Ojo de evitar crear el título del hilo dentro del crontab porque las máscaras de formato de date y otros comandos similares que usan %, no funcionan correctamente dentro de un crontab.

Al menos no fue @reboot /usr/sbin/poweroff.

Oh for sure, they totally don't need to exist (in particular the "head talking to promote product" kind). But if they are to exist anyway, it's easier on the selfhosters if they keep them small, which means fewer arguments against setting up your own instance (or joining in to some sort of coöp instance) which helps promote Peertube and this kind of sharing in general.

That said, I would not be opposed to 144p / 3gp from the old Nokia days.

if we somehow figure out how to do video with massively less bandwidth

Start with making videos smaller! Most (about 99%) video on the internet doesn't need to be 4K or even 1K; stuff like "head talking about product" content creators can just be 480p or even 360p without issue. That eases bandwidth issues a good lot.

Hosting costs are high yeah but they are much more reachable if you scope down to "host what you actually need to emit" rather than "try to be a cheap copy of youtube" - the latter is simply pre-setting yourself for failure.

Are a "creator" that focuses on music mostly, or on archiving old TV footage, or recordings of old videogames, or stick animations? You don't need to store everything or even most of everything in 4K 120fps in your peertube, you can just do 480p with 96k VBR (or heck, even 360p with 64k VBR in some cases) and it will be fine! Let the clients who want to upscale upscale on their end. For every minute of 4K video you can host like, almost half an hour of 360p. Similarly a creator who focuses on music dumps only needs the music tracks, not a video track of any kind (just ta video thumbnail will do).

This is the media equivalent of leaving a shit steam review with 2000 hours clocked.

There's a vast difference between Steam being good, and the content in Steam being good.

We already do, and this is what we get.

Yeah sorry I underspecified because the rest is implied in the context of the case. You add a contact to a group, of course they get the messages that go to the group.

Heck, even IRC (basically) works like that.

Dude. Gal. Please.

Paragraphs

The entire point of the fediverse is to federate. Not federating by default kills discoverability and the potential for discoverability among other things

Matrix

I hope you mean XMPP / Jabber? Matrix is as open and chatty as Trump is when servicing Musk.

They didn't drop them because of money costs, where did you get such a statement?

In any event they didn't really have much of a choice, even if they dropped the ball by not simply resurfacing the old SMS product they did and do have. Having SMS and have people assume it was private because it was on Signal had already caused various issues, of the kind that causes bad mouth-to-mouth for your service. Signal's response, while adequate, was also lazy.

Trump dismisses Signal security failure as

"Our failure".

Signal worked perfectly here: if you add a contact, they get the messages.

What failed was the Trumpist, like at everything else.

Since you mention stuff like "the video isn't important", "other services" (plural), I'd consider not just one alternative but several. The big problem with big name social media is that they provide a all-in-one experience that is designed for profit, and as such looks and acts worse than any of its independent parts (not to mention, the sum is artificially made more addictive to users).

• For publishing campaign materials itself, all you need is a filehost or filebin - something like pastebin.com but that allows you to upload and organize any kind of files. Any of the offerings in the FOSS market will do, but if you are going to focus on posting quickie (rich¡) text documents that are easy to build and parse I'd suggest a Markdown-based document bin like Hedgedoc.
• If your campaign is gonna run like a chat, XMPP / Jabber. There's servers like Prosody or ejabberd that are easy to set up.
• If your campaign is gonna run in web "play by post" mode, any modern web forum system will do, for example Discourse. Heck, even oldie-style web forums might do, like phpBB.
• Voice: Jabber has access to audio IIRC. I've also heard very good things about Mumble.

Oh, do cry me a river while you're at it. Pretty much every community everywhere has a general or memes room, those are for the meme gifs (or wait, these are webp these days...).

Don't they have universal unlocks for suitcases? They can just take a phone / laptop out, disassemble it quickly to clone the hard drive (or sometimes not even that, just power it on and use any of the various Israeli exploits they've bought) and presto, you can go on your merry way.

So basically, people use Reddit to search on the internet now because it’s real people, not shitty SEO content.

Excuse me what? Since when since Jun 2024 does Reddit actually have real people?

This pretty much. At some point one has to accept that the people who want to be saved can be saved, and those who don't, can't. We shouldn't (reasonably or not) waste ourselves for the latter in spite of the former.
