This is for real the Linux desktop year for me, went through the switch just before the new year. Had to reinstall a couple times but no big deal, and I get to learn as well.
Not sure if out-of-the-box distros are now that user friendly yet or not, but I remember getting Ubuntu running several years ago was frustrating (no sound, bad sound quality etc) and now running EOS was pretty smooth. Pretty sure something like Mint will be user friendly enough for the general population.
I want to use it but I don’t fully understand how it works. Does it use my device a storage for videos? Or does it only use it as a sharing device without storing the video on it? Does it only use the bandwidth on my device? Could someone please explain? I already read about it, but I’m still lost
I’ve been running my PeerTube instance for more than a year now so hopefully I can help :
if you only watch, it doesn’t use your device for storage, only some of your bandwidth if P2P is enabled. If you want to host content, e.g a video of yourself explaining how to design your own smart speaker using only FOSS, then you should setup a server which will need storage for your videos.
Happy to clarify more if you need. Overall you can watch content from video.benetou.fr and most likely all bandwidth will come from my server. You can not upload your videos there though (unless if I accept making an account for you, which I won’t). There are other servers though, public ones, which allow registration and where you can thus upload your content too.
Thank you. I just want to watch, no more no less and I’m ok with using my bandwidth to push the video around if that helps, since my ISP doesn’t have that bullshit cap. And by bandwidth we are talking Internet, right?
It is part od the Fediverse, so commenting, likes, following, etc. should regarless of what ActivityPub-enabled service you use for interactions (for example can comment from Mastodon account).
The “Peer” part of “PeerTube” means that the video player itself is based on torrent technology. It is not saved on your device (unless you decide to), just when you watch you also send the video to cut off some of the server’s bandwidth. Videos are not shared between servers, only the information that they exists, only on uploader’s server and between user’s devices.
It is not to preserve videos online, for that we have other tools like proper torrents, this is ment to be alternative to YouTube. TLDR Here ActivityPub is for statuses, Torrent is for helping the servers.
So, my device/bandwidth is basically a tunnel so to speak that helps push the video (that is saved on the uploader’s server" to others? So peertube only uses my Internet and my device’s CPU?
No. [I was wrong. In addition to being distributed between servers like I said, you can also enable P2P sharing to distribute the bandwidth even further.]
If you have a server that allows users to sign up, the stuff they follow/watch (you'd have to look at details if you want to host to see exactly how it's distributed) goes through your server.
The flip side to this is that, when your user uploads an extremely popular video (or you personally do if you don't allow signups), you don't have to stream every video to every individual user. You send it on to other federated instances that those users are signed up to, but if one instance has 100 users view your video, you don't have to send it 100 times. (This is likely less efficient than YouTube, because they can control exactly how load is spread between their delivery network with a comprehensive view of everything, but it dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for an individual to get involved or handle the distribution demand of a popular video.)
Just as a client, you don't serve anyone else. It's a website (or app) that works much like YouTube does. It's on the server side where the load is distributed.
It uses just the same as other video sites plus some upload bandwidth that is usually unused anyway. Also there is an option to download the video purely by HTTP without torrenting if someone wants to.
I’ve been using Silverblue as my main computer for a couple years now and love it. It just always works and is super solid. I layered on distrobox for any other software so I can pretty much run any Linux software ever needed and it’s cleanly organized in containers.
Your request goes against the unix philosophy. Grep does one thing and does it well. If you desire additional functionality, you should add another utility to accomplish what you want.
its not in any stable release of sddm, but its one of the exceptions Fedora makes for git releases in its stable branch. KDESIG devs were desperate to get an end to end wayland experience happening for the KDE spin.
My advice is get zorin or popos and see if there is installer in their software store. I am a new user like you are well and this sense to be common, i resroted to keep it on old laptop ,as server so in install and thin necessary things and then dinner user it at all. Linux Community on Lemmy is humbug, they will downvote as soon as you say Linux is not for regular person
Lua function “item” called with argument of type table
The function is the outer part with the parentheses, the table is the inner part with the curly braces. [“attr”] is a table inside the table.
For example, to access (table)>attr>size you would write: table[“attr”][“size”] (assuming the table is named, that is, assigned to a variable called “table”)
I’ve been playing with SSHwifty for a centralized browser based terminal gateway. You set up the docker and can then use it as a central gateway for ssh servers in your networks.
The setup is a bit opaque but the maintainer looks really helpful in the Issues pages.
