Futo (Louis Rossman) at it again with great content, this time a Guide to a Self Managed life. This 14hrs long guide comes in two video parts, aswell as a written guide for those who prefer. Both video and written quide comes with complete chapters and timestamps. This should be a great starting point for those who have the time and want to start learning from the very beginning.

those tremendous amounts are not that big because with PeerTube you share the bandwidth with other instances

I have 8gbps, Iā€™m perfectly willing to federate with Futoā€™s instance and take some of (if not all of) the load for this video. But I donā€™t think they peer with that many other people. At 15mbps thatā€™s about 500 people watching simultaneously.

I agree Iā€™d like to see it on peertube for sure.

The thing is people always talk about there being not enough content on peertube but then nobody uploads their videos to it even if they have an instance. And on top of it, there is a easy way to synchronize your YouTube and PeerTube channel too if you insist to keep using YouTube for uploading, just add your YouTube channel URL to your PeerTube channel and tell it to synchronize, thatā€™s it, it will do it for you. But for some reason the self hosting YouTubers canā€™t be bothered with that?

No there isnā€™t anymore. yt-dlp, what all those syncing tools rely one, is basically fucked at this point. Youtube has made it fucking impossible to grab content off their platform and itā€™s really damn annoying. Even for my private IP address, Iā€™ve earned what seems to be a permanent ban from Youtube.

Every video shows either thisā€¦

Or I login, and it only shows me the first 60 seconds of content before it just buffer loops forever

But I wouldnā€™t want to sync the content from youtube anywayā€¦ Youtube compresses the shit out of everything.

I get your point. Itā€™s not hard for them to make a second post of the same video content to another platform. Many just donā€™t see the value in it. I agree that at least FUTO should see the point of putting it upā€¦ Hell Iā€™m even willing to share the load in the bandwidth (with my own instance thatā€™s currently up and running). Is what it is.
