From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Really, how awesome is that?

We could also show some support being active there from our Lemmy accounts!

I also like how Newpipe can open that link.

I highly recommend subscribing to his Patreon page since peertube gives him no monetization avenues understandably.

I quite like his podcast he does for Patreon members every week. Just a short life/channel update series.

Thanks! I don't like videos much.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Now this is what I am talking about! Just get lemmy/kbin/etc to support embedded video from peertube at least and we are getting closer to the decentralized everything app!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I love how musk is trying to make X the everything app all on his centralized network, and here we are building a decentralized everything network with dozens of open platforms and good 3rd party clients outpacing whatever musk is trying to cook.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Free market at work, imo, Musk can cry all he wants about advertisements, but here we are supported entirely by donations

Other integration point, but I'm less sure. Syncing peertube accounts with other instances, so my subscriptions can follow me and my comment/threads can too!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Also, the comments don't seem to be syncing correctly between the peertube video and the community post. Peertube apparently supports using accounts from other fediverse instances, but it failed for this account I am using now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, seems the integration with Lemmy isn't going very well for comments. Might be worth to post an issue to the git repo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Already made luckly https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3837 i just found it today though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Oddly my comment to the video federated correctly now. Maybe it is related to the recent fixed issue?

is this community the Peertube channel? through Newpipe i can see peertube comments (even lemmy accounts!) but on that community i see none. also the lammy client might be an issue..?

i'm really exited about this, now i'll be able to correct people wrong on the internet like i can't do on youtube videos!!

I have heard that it might be an issue with Peertube's federation implementation, in that its not properly pushing externally.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Neat, it almost works in sync but it just shows an empty community with an "error loading page" toast

To follow through Mastodon/Calckey/Firefish/etc, search for this in your instance:

I wish the Freetube app supported Peertube feeds.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I'm happy that NewPipe does

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

yes! i can follow on android with Newpipe but on desktop have to use browser bookmarks

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

What. That's crazy!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Unfortunately, comments, and votes don't appear to be federating from Peertube. I've opened some issues (LemmyNet/Lemmy#4314, LemmyNet/Lemmy#3837, LemmyNet/lemmy-ui#2161) for this in the past, and, from what I've heard, it may be an issue with Peertube's federation implementation.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't seem to work right on kbin, unfortunately, although it does show up as a magazine: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Did you try to search in Kbin? In Lemmy we have to search the community in order to federate

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah; I also tried subbing in case that kicks off federation and searched a few titles to see if they ended up in random incorrectly as well (stuff like that happens sometimes with kbin). The magazine has seen a few microblogs mentioning the channel, and it clearly picked up the avatar/icon, description, etc. somehow, but doesn't seem to be getting any videos as threads/posts and I couldn't find any floating around disconnected either. I think kbin most likely doesn't understand what PeerTube is publishing through AP, but there could always be federation weirdness or something.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I didn't know that, this is super cool!

It doesn't work on lemmy.zip

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe this peertube instance blocked lemmy.zip?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

they likely blanket banned/filtered the .zip tld due to the rather large security problems it brings. I had the same problem with my instance initially before I explicitly whitelisted lemmy.zip

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

yeah, wasnt a good idea to use .zip
