Probably Germany.

Isn’t there a Steam launch command that forces it to use a specific GPU?

They say it’s free to use during beta, so that’s probably why there’s no price for it yet.

So I can’t type in a domain manually?

I can also enter the instance name myself on that screen and then it checks if it’s a Lemmy server, right?

So if there was a “login with username”, you would type your username@instance, then Voyager would check the domain and show the next page you are talking about, with a pre-filled username.

If I typed the wrong domain here and it turned out it’s a malicious server pretending to be a Lemmy server, then what happens?

Also, wouldn’t it be highly unlikely that the users email domain is malicious?

It’s true you can login with your email, instead of your username. But what I am saying is, in Voyager, it should only ask for your username+instance (meldrik@lemmy.wtf).

If I by mistake type my email: meldrik@protonmail.com it will obviously fail, right? Because there’s no Lemmy server at that domain.

You already validate Lemmy servers in Voyager, right? So if “Meldrik@lemmy.wtf” doesn’t match a Lemmy server, an error would show.

It doesn’t matter if there’s an email server or not.

I am not logging in with the credentials “meldrik@lemmy.wtf”. I am telling Voyager that I want to log into “Lemmy.wtf” with my user “Meldrik”. Before I type a password, the app will check if “Lemmy.wtf” exists and maybe even check if there is in fact a user named “Meldrik”. If all are true, then it will ask for password.

Something like that. I don’t know how Voyager works 😁

You would only be able to login this way with your username. If you by mistake use your email, then it simply doesn’t resolve to a Lemmy server and the login fails.

Meldrik@notlemmyserver.com would simply fail, because that Lemmy instance does not exist.

Really cool work.

Exactly.

Some instance names can be a bit tricky to type, like sh.itjust.works, so an autocomplete would be a huge help.

People shouldn’t even have to choose their instance. People should type their full username.

Fx: meldrik@lemmy.wtf should be enough and then their password.

Is t it a community effort though and does it not pull in info from other BookWyrm instances?

At least you have done something nice for the next one, looking for those books 😁

Would be interesting if Liberapay could somehow be built into PeerTube. So you simply click the “Support” button and it asks how much and then another click. Done. The rest is handled by Liberapay, which have been set up earlier.

You are thinking about channel membership, right? This is something that could also be implemented in PeerTube, either by Framasoft themselves (devs of PeerTube) or as a plugin by anyone.

You mentioned LTT. They have their own video platform. It would have been cool if they had actually used PeerTube and build upon that instead of creating yet another “walled” video platform.

PeerTube scales by increasing the amount of instances available. But you are pretty much correct. The two things that’s expensive is: Storage and transcoding. The biggest expense is storage. It gets more and more expensive as videos is uploaded. Transcoding can become more expensive, if you have to keep up with new videos getting added all the time.

I would like to see individual content creators create their own PeerTube servers and thereby serving their content to the rest of the PeerTube servers and the Fediverse. I imagine a lot of content creators keep some kind of backup of their videos, so why not attach a PeerTube server to it? PeerTube allows you to keep the original file.

Regarding financial incentive, the “only” thing creators would miss out on, on Peertube is ad revenue. If we disregard the low amount of viewers on PeerTube compared to YouTube, a creator can still use sponsors, patreon, donations, affiliate links etc. on their videos.

It uses P2P when multiple users is watching the same video. A PeerTube server can also mirror another PeerTube server’s videos and function as a peer.

You can see it this screenshot, that I’ve downloaded most of the video data from other peers.

PeerTube is build on ActivityPub, just like Lemmy. Right now federation is broken between Lemmy and PeerTube. When it’s fixed, you’ll be able to subscribe to PeerTube channels from here and comment as well.

Take a look at the pinned post at !peertube@lemmy.wtf and also check out PeerTube.wtf/home for a list as well.

There’s plenty of channels to follow, but obviously not the same amount of content like on YouTube.

Veronica Explains is on PeerTube! https://peertube.wtf/a/vkc@tinkerbetter.tube/video-channels

Awesome. This is what I thought Friendica was capable of, but looking forward to see it on Pixelfed.
