Relaunching PeerTube.wtf
-
Monetization does not align with the principles of the Fediverse imho. Donations can help, but I don't believe that's sustainable either. I can do this because I have the time and the money. I wouldn't recommend doing this, if you had to rely on donations or monetization.

I would think many servers that accept donations don't rely on them. But taking donations while it is optional can stave off the time when donations would be necessary.

I have been considering to use this: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/connect/apps/#peertube
Might make it easier to use an external server as a kind of CDN as well.

"general use" =/= "allows everything"
That bullet point had two sentences.

"Every topic" doesn't necessarily literally mean like, illegal stuff

First of all, let me apologize to those people who was affected when PeerTube.wtf initially went down.
I've been working this past month on building and setting up a fresh version of PeerTube.wtf and this time, I won't be relying on decentralized storage
I've been reading a couple of threads on Lemmy, to better understand what people want expect to be able to do on a PeerTube server, so here goes:
-
PeerTube.wtf is a platform for general use. Every topic is welcome.
-
The Global Search Index is enabled. This means that the search bar will show results from almost 900 PeerTube servers.
-
Remote URI/handle search is enabled. This means, if you know the URL/handle of a channel, that's not part of the Global Search Index, you can still find it via the search bar and subscribe to the channel.
-
The Public Index is enabled. This means that PeerTube.wtf will federate with almost a 1000 PeerTube servers.
-
Audio-only, 360p, 720p, 1080p and 1440p is enabled. This means that videos uploaded, is provided in these resolutions.
-
Video transcription is enabled. Will Automatically create subtitles for uploaded/imported VOD videos.
-
Live streaming is enabled. Streams are transcoded in 720p and 1080p at 60 FPS.
-
A user has 100GB of storage. This is obviously not sustainable, but is subject to change.
FAQ
.wtf?
Yea, it stands for "What The Fediverse". What else could it possibly stand for, that sound as cool?
Where is the server hosted?
It's hosted in Denmark, at my residence. I have 100% ownership and control over it.
What's your specs, bro?
The server is assembled inside an Inter-Tech 2U-2404S, with a:- AMD Ryzen 3 1200 @ 4 cores
- 16GB of RAM
- nVidia Quadro P600 (hardware transcoding)
- 2x120GB SSDs in raid 1 for OS
- 2x4TB HDDs in raid 1 for the video storage
4TB of storage ain't much
That's true, but I will be upgrading the disks eventually.
Why no 4K??
4K takes a lot of space and the majority of users don't have a 4K monitor. In the future, it might change.
I've probably forgotten something, but yea.. Enjoy.
peertube.wtf has been down for a few days now. is it expected to go up again?
