<br>
Talking of videos the other day reminded me of our current PeerTube strategy: <br>
we haven't got one.<br>
<br>
We did have one, but it went away when the hosting service we were using <br>
(peertube.mastodon.host) disappeared and did not come back.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, as long as we don't put up and maintain our own PeerTube <br>
instance, we have to rely on the charity of others. These "others" are usually <br>
small outfits, often even individuals, that can disappear at short or no notice <br>
for any number of reason -- which is what happened with <br>
peertube.mastodon.host.<br>
<br>
To ensure they will be able to cope with storage and traffic, they often <br>
specialise, such is the case of TILVids (<a href="https://tilvids.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tilvids.com</a>). TILVids is <br>
willing to put up things like our tips and tutorials, but balked at our <br>
suggestion of uploading also many hours of conference talks. For that, they <br>
pointed us to <a href="https://conf.tube/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://conf.tube/</a>, specialised in conferences and where, it <br>
seems, someone has already set up a KDE account -- which we would have to take <br>
over. <br>
<br>
This would still leave us with the problem as to where to post our purely <br>
promotional videos, like for Plasma announcements or teasers and stuff like <br>
that.<br>
<br>
The third option is to go with something like libre.video, which has a much <br>
more laissez-faire approach to content, allowing content from conspiracy-nuts, <br>
QAnon, nazis, anti-vaxxers and all sorts of scummy Internet low-life... I <br>
think I made a list where all items are identical.<br>
<br>
To summarise, our options are:<br>
<br>
- Try and convince sysadmins to set up a KDE managed PeerTube instance <br>
(awesome, but it feels unfair to increase their workload)<br>
<br>
- Split our media over several instances (TILVid, Conf.tube, etc.)<br>
<br>
- Go with the crazies<br>
<br>
- Do nothing, use YouTube and/or just put videos on our CDN<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In terms of comparing PeerTube vs. our CDN, what would be the major difference here?</div><div><br></div><div>If there isn't much difference (aside from say allowing for commenting and voting) then perhaps it would be best if we made use of our CDN - coupled with some customised pages for each one providing links to things like slides, etc?</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
