Welp, I had no plans of buying Palworld. I’ve been playing Enshrouded instead. But I’ll be picking it up now. Screw you Nintendo and your anticompetitive ways.

15 years ago I got a job where I wasn’t allowed to do anything. I hated it. I wanted to learn and be valuable and be valued. I left that job.

I worked for a bank and then Red Hat and I loved what I did and burned myself out trying to make them happy. Only to find out they still didn’t value me.

I switched jobs two years ago and increased my pay 30% overnight and back to a job doing nothing. And I’m totally fine with it now. I have a family and I focus on them and during work, if they don’t have anything for me to do I make my own happiness.

Fuck corporations. I’ll take your money, I’ll never again kill myself as I’ll never be valued anyway. Jobs aren’t worth it. People are.

I LOVE this bit:

"will stop measuring its success in new subscribers, but in growth byr egional revenue."

We’re hitting our self defined goals JUST fine guys!

If scale is no longer an issue, why can’t Epic create a store with similar functionality to steam? Because it’s not about that. It’s about Tim not being able to pocket as much.

It happened at 0900 EST, about an hour and a half ago. However, I will be uploading the video to Peertube if you’re interested I can post it here once it’s up. I just saw your message a short time ago after the repair was done, sorry I missed it.

Not sure I follow actually. DO mean have like a comments system underneath the video? Not sure how that’d work when folks go online and offline constantly.

Gabe, Owncast dev, is working on clips and highlights of streams, so maybe he could have comments there if that’s what you’re referring to?

Their design was more mobile type wherr you don’t minimize windows, you just switch between them or between spaces. I’ve used Gnome forever, including the rough times on Gnome 3.0, and I’ve always used a system tray as well. Never liked leaving clutter everywhere and imo it goes against the minimal design. But thankfully easily extendible.

It DOES Federate. It’s not on by default, but it’s super easy to do in the Owncast admin panel.

I have it enabled so when I go live it announces to my Fediverse followers, think Mastodon, that I’ve gone live.

Example:

https://stream.ozoned.net/federation/UTjYI6FSg

It was in the description of the video, but it’s a Hetzner VPS with 3 cores, 4GB of ram, 80GB disk, 20TB bandwidth.

I’m just spreading the word.

Have you used it? Have you looked at the docs? You can use a S3 bucket to handle distribution, though I’ve never done it. Nor am I going to theorize what will or won’t work.

People didn’t think the Fediverse wouldn’t work yet here we are.

As for any number of video software, I’d love to know. I enjoy tech. Owncast works seamlessly with the Fediverse and OBS. I get to control my platform and it’s what I know so I use it. If there is better out there, I don’t know what I don’t know.

And lastly I personally enjoy the small internet. And I’m assuming folks here do as well, hence why we’re all here. Plenty of other platforms that work better.

Do you have millions of viewers? With beefy enough hardware I’d assume you could, but not even the biggest streamers on Twitch stream to millions of viewers at a time. But that’s just gaming. I know that Owncast is leveraged by all kinds of folks for different purposes. Some churches use it to broadcast to their congregation, some weddings have done it, funerals, radios, local public access channels, etc.

I personally have a VPS on Hetzner, not sure about others. Obviously hosting is the thing. But I run a VPS for like $8/month, again on Hetzner, and I’ve done small live streams to about 15 people without much issue.

Owncast is a free and open source self hosted live streaming platform. Basically think of Twitch or YouTube Livestreams on your own hardware.

This is literally the self-hosted community. I’m talking about self-hosted livestreaming platform. If you want to call it a blog + video, ok sure. Everything is basically a rehash of everything else. Just trying to share some self-hosted information. And I’m not the dev of Owncast or anything, just someone trying to make others aware of self-hosting software.

I’m not understanding what you’re stating. Me streaming a video game isn’t blogging. If you mean that there isn’t a list of folks all streaming, well there’s https://directory.owncast.com to find folks. If you mean only you can stream to it, well that’s not true as you can set up multiple stream keys and allow others to stream to it as well. So I’m really not understanding what you’re stating.

Nope. Full self hosted livestreaming. I personally use it to stream games. I started a communit at !owncast/lemmy.world and I’ve listed a few different streams. Some folks game, classic movies, music, etc. It’s your own self hosted Twitch or YT streaming, etc.

You CAN use OBS! I’ve started an Owncast community at !owncast@lemmy.world if you’d like to check it out. If you’re used to streaming to YT or Twitch or anything else, OBS is 100% the same, you just pointed it to your Owncast server. Obviously setting up the server is more work, but GabeK has made installation and configuration as easy as possible. It’s pretty awesome imo.

Awesome! TY! Who couldn’t use more lettuce eating lettuce in their life?

Now all we need is some fruit cannibalism and we’ll have a well rounded meal! :-D

But you have a space in there. I don’t know how spaces are handled in fstab. You’ll either need to quote it or at least escape the space:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 ‘/media/lucky/New Volume’ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

OR

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\ Volume ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

The space is absolutely an issue in fstab as it’s thinking “Volume” is the filesystem type and ntfs goes into your options, etc.

You’ve made a directory path literally called

/media/lucky/New Volume

?

That REALLY doesn’t seem like a good idea considering that *'s are wildcards for anything, and Linux isn’t really fond of spaces.

The error basically tells you that you have an error on line 18, which I’m assuming is this line you’re stating and that it’s ignored that line so that it can still go on and mount other things.

Most likely you’d want something like:

# mkdir /media/lucky/NewVol

and then your fstab would be:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/NewVol ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

Also do you have a lib or something for linux to handle NTFS file system types? I haven’t run Windows in 17 years now, so I don’t have a clue if Linux can natively handle NTFS.

You can also run:

# lsblk

or

# blkid

to get the storage information and verify the storage UUID is correct.
