We need an encyclopedia of posts/content like this that is the masterbook of Fediverse ops and scaling “how-to.”

I hate most ISPs for sure. I’m stuck with my local monopoly.

But nonetheless my experience is still: pay $X, get constantly high bandwidth results. That’s all I mean.

Similarly, torrenting is all over the place. But if you pay good Usenet backbone and indexers, you get a similarly reliable product.

Definitely ISPs suck ass at everything besides taking your money and providing internet.

Usenet. The speed, reliability, volume of content. It has been unmatched for me.

The setup is slightly more annoying than torrenting, but also more professional and less sketchy. It is as if torrenting had a real ISP-style customer service experience.

You should redo your org from scratch and let all the default plugins do the work. Mine looks great and I never changed anything, just followed the recommended file org pattern for Movies and TV Shows.

This is really cool – however, as someone who has been a casual pirate for most of my life, but isn’t in the scene per se, I do not truly understand the data I am looking at or what it means. Maybe even more ELI5 for people who are into this but aren’t deep pirates. What context am I looking at? What is scene lowercase as I only see Scene uppercase defined? Etc.

Kid shows definitely are an issue in general.

Jellyfin + Usenet and I’ve never looked back. I only use it intra-house. So no need for more complex setups. It’s flawless to date.

Like I said, I think they should wield their expertise towards making alt implementations of Mastodon and Lemmy that support multiple ways of video—paywall or otherwise—because the primary problem with video is always distribution and engagement. Miming YouTube more directly will always fail. It has for two decades now.

I am of the belief we do not need PeerTube at all.

We need a custom Lemmy instance that has video upload baked in, as well as a method of monetizing it for the server/“creator” (who is in a structural sense the moderator of the community to which it was uploaded).

Lemmy is simply better at distributing the information. PeerTube is a red herring and P2P video sucks. We need to make it easy for a server operator to have a mechanism for paying for the bandwidth (take payments and contain distribution to paying users, and account for bandwidth when distributing operating income after costs).

Bitcoin Cash my dude. If you’re doing Stripe, integrate BitPay.

Nice!

The internet isn’t private by design. There are a limited scope of steps you can take to enable “privacy.” But this is a pointless article.

I think the current model under more mature circumstances is actually the ideal. You want sysadmins to experience the full cost-benefit analysis of running servers. They are functionally countries and should have the risks associated with running a country. A market-driven benevolent dictator/benevolent committee, where the server operators are highly motivated to be good actors, as is currently the case, is the ultimate freedom-security situation.

The risk of a server being able to “vanish” as it were is an essential risk for both community users and community managers to bear.
