PeerTube is a video sharing platform for the Fediverse, a free open decentralised alternative to YouTube.

You can find out more at:

https://joinpeertube.org

PeerTube federates with the rest of the Fediverse, so you can follow PeerTube accounts from Mastodon etc and share videos, comment on them, like them etc too.

Here's an example account you can follow: @craftykat

PeerTube works in a really clever way: if lots of people watch the same video at the same time, they transmit the video to each other by peer-to-peer. This means even if a video goes viral, the PeerTube site that hosts it doesn't crash. Even small sites can provide videos for a large audience.

This is explained in an official animation:

If you're non-techy, you can make your own PT instance on a managed hosting service like https://federation.spacebear.ee

If you're techy, you can install your own PT instance with these instructions: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/doc/production.md

Here's Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) with some thoughts on the Framework laptop which has great reparability and customization. Exciting to see how it evolves over time although it does look promising here. https://pluralistic.net/2021/09/21/monica-byrne/#think-different

There's a nice little FOSS app called #SportsTracker thats been around for some time. It runs on GNU/Linux, Mac and Windows and supports many of the popular brands.

It works perfectly for my #Forerunner 245 and provides all the useful tools I used with proprietary #Garmin software.

Check it out if you feel interested.

Mobilizon is an event organising platform for the Fediverse, a free open source alternative to Facebook Events.

https://joinmobilizon.org/en

Mobilizon instances federate with the rest of the Fediverse, so people on Mastodon can follow Mobilizon accounts and see their latest events.

You can join an existing instance, there's a list of instances at https://instances.joinmobilizon.org

If you're technically skilled, you can create your own instance using the instructions at https://docs.joinmobilizon.org/administration/install

In no particular order, web sites like OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Archive.Org, Sci-Hub, tools like I2P, Tor, IRC, GPG, OMEMO, OTR, and open and federated protocols like Jabber, Email, Diaspora and ActivityPub are the most important projects on the internet and should be protected and exalted.

#openstreetmap #osm #android #wikipedia #archive #archive.org #scihub #sci-hub #diaspora #email #jabber #xmpp #activitypub #mastodon #email #freesoftware #internet #thefederation #irc #gpg #omemo #otr

There are over 162,960 events listed on #Mobilizon and now over 80 instances listed on https://instances.joinmobilizon.org!

If you want to help spread the word about the Fediverse, try politely asking your favourite sites, organisations or projects what their Fediverse/Mastodon/PixelFed etc address is.

Obviously not everyone has the time or the spoons to maintain social media accounts, but just casually asking for an address will indirectly let them know the Fediverse exists.

The more people that ask them, the more likely they are to find out more about the Fediverse and join 👍

crypto is short for "cryptography"

if you want a shorter word for "cryptocurrency", the word you are looking for is "ponzi"

Don't be the person who does the thing that makes the place create the policy

Has anyone else stopped getting excited about new tech? It's just like "cool, a new thing to invade my privacy".

It’s 2021, and this is still extremely relevant on The Web we lost:

“European Commission announced … follow-up legislation that will make the use of chatcontrol mandatory for all e-mail and messenger providers.”

Guess what isn’t covered by this? Yes, the Small Web. Is it time to take the idea that we could all own our own places on the Web and communicate with each other privately seriously? I think so, at least.
