PeerTube is a Free/Libre and federated alternative to YouTube.

PeerTube is not a platform, it's a software. As it is free-libre, anybody can copy and install it on their server. PeerTube allows the server admin to create their own video hosting & live-streams platform (an "instance"), and to synchronize it with other PeerTube instances.

It doesn't aim to replace YouTube or Twitch, but to offer a viable alternative, especially to those who don't fit in Google's or Amazon's (and any surveillance capitalism companies) model.

Technically, PeerTube uses the ActivityPub protocol so users, videos, channels, comments, etc. become part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe also used by Mastodon, the federated alternative to Twitter). PeerTube adds peer-to-peer broadcasting to good old streaming, via WebTorrents and related technologies. It makes a PeerTube server more efficient when a video or a live is getting success and lots of simultaneous views.

Those technical choices (Free-Libre Licence, ActivityPub Federation, Peer-to-Peer broadcasting) democratize video-broadcasting : now, you don't need a tech giant's money to host videos, just to take part in a vast federation of small servers that synchronize their video catalog together.

If you are curious about PeerTube, I can't recommend you enough to check the official website (https://joinpeertube.org) to learn more about the project. Then if you want to try PeerTube as a content creator, you can find an available instance there to register on, or take the plunge and host yourself your own PeerTube instance on your own server.

PeerTube development is maintained and funded by Framasoft (https://framasoft.org/), a French non-for-profit popular educational organization. Framasoft is a group of friends convinced that an emancipatory digital world is possible. They try to make it real trough community-driven actions both online and offline.

Framasoft is also involved in the development of Mobilizon, a decentralized and federated alternative to Facebook Events & Groups.

Even though there is only one (not even full time) paid developer on the project, the development of PeerTube is really active and you can help to contribute through different manners:

* Try it and give your feedback and/or report bugs you found on Github (https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/) or on Framasoft's forum (https://framacolibri.org/).

* Help to translate the software, following the contributing guide (https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute-getting-started).

* Make a donation to help fund PeerTube's development. More informations about how the money will be spent can be found here (https://framasoft.org/en/#support)

* Help to develop the software on Github (https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/) and Framagit (https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/PeerTube) (a self-hosted instance of Gitlab).
It's not that. The thing you're describing is often called a "functor". It could be called a "mappable" but generally once you've heard a functor is a thing that has a .map() function that works the way you expect it to then you don't really need to call it a mappable anymore. So the name sticks.

Even to just be able to rapidly identify why having a thing that .map()s is a meaningful object represents the sort of experience with and abstraction of these concepts that'll put you ahead of the game for understanding monads.
Also any phishing you don't notice, or many browser hacks. A good 2fa (u2f, fido) authenticates you to the service, but also verifies the service is what you expect.
Yeah, we'd only kill the disabled and mediocre children standing in the way of our Utopia, nothing immoral like those awful Chinese people do.
By the way, that's also how Tesla and all other cars have the same electric plug in EU(not the USB mandate but the car plug standardisation mandate).

Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is what happens if better solutions are found. Will EU block innovation?

That question is addressed in the Q&A: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/QANDA_...

In essence, they seem to believe that wired charging is mature enough for standardisation but further technologies can be implemented through "Radio Equipment Directive". In the same time, it appears that the wireless charging is unaffected because the tech is new and fast changing, therefore the manufacturers can include whatever wireless charging they see fit.

It really boils down to "No funny cables, why don't you try wireless charging of your liking if USB-C doesn't cut it for you?".
I have an old Blackberry charger that has the cord attached, and I'm pretty sure I also have some old Samsung charger that's the same. But they're clearly quite rare.
After COVID started I was begrudgingly pulled into video conferences (before we did audio only and it was fine), so I picked up an old $3 webcam at the thrift store. They can see my face, that's all that matters.

In a lot of the comparisons posted to twitter where they're saying the Apple Studio Display webcam is "terrible", I couldn't even tell the difference
This exactly IS the paywall model, except aggregated. I doubt how expensive this kind of aggregator would be to REALLY allow these media to survive. I heard media on Apple News+ doesn’t get enough money from them.
Probably correct. The correct answer is something I’m working on for fun. Basically, witness encryption of a sort. If you can cryptographically/mathematically prove something has happened, you can decrypt a “bootstrap” of your digital life. I’m working on the tooling/encryption bits now, but I already have a (not published) service that monitors phones/computers for “liveness” and provides a cryptographic proof that they are dead when they go offline for a configurable amount of time. You can use that as an input for the witness encryption, along other inputs. You can just store that file in the open, maybe encrypting only your 1password master key or a backup code to your email.
I’m sorry but Tesla engineering is responsible for producing a beta-quality product that is being tested on public roads without public consent, a product which has predictably killed people intentional flaws they refuse to fix. You should not respect Tesla engineers or consider their products as good engineering.
IVF carries risks of damaging the child's genome and so is fundamentally dysgenic.
Another thing - flash storage that hasn't been powered up for a few years will probably have lost data. Better to get backup codes down on paper.
It's routine maintenance. My car is required to have its timing belt replaced by 100,000 miles. If the dealer does the work, the manufacturer provides a warranty on the parts. Since a broken belt could destroy the engine, this is a replacement that should be done and it's nice to have the warranty.
I'm with you. I don't know who decided that RFCs should be displayed in a proportional font, but he was IMHO mistaken.

At least they are still available as plain text.
Venture Capital Internal Rates of Return
Something like this DID happen to me a few years ago... but really? If i don't regard the lost documents (ID, drivers license, ownership documents...) took me a few months to get newly issued and there is still a gmail and amazon account out there i will perhaps never be able to log in again there was really no big problem.

This is also the incident that convinced me to NEVER leave my current bank: I am at a tiny, tiny local bank with perhaps 50 employees... so, they did know me and it was no problem to get money and a new set of cards. The funny thing is: Before that incident i was contemplating about moving to a more modern bank which offers an app...
Heres a new black box. It looks like the last but is 20% better. Trust me. We didnt fix bugs in our crappy software. It was perfect the day you got it. So, the improvents could only be in this new black box. Sure we neeed to whip people to mine thse rocks and underpay them, but look at the shiny form over function.

Also, just dump your old stuff every year, sine you dont want to be that uncool kid, doyou? All the coal melting, molding, glass, labor, CO2, is worthless now. And while youre here, it will be one kidney or a yearlong service for a low price of $50, which if you give us all your financial history you can get a 3% cashback on.
Letter in Support of Responsible Crypto Policy
> how do you keep track of all your private projects?

Specifically, I try to minimize side projects. This generally means having a Frankenstein project (or projects, if you must be polyglot on the side) that receives all my side interest and side coding. New library? Add it to the project and use it there.

Obviously, use version control and feature branches to protect old code from new code.

I access mine RESTfully over the web. Yours might be a CLI tool. Or a shader.
Everytime I see this article and the comments(or other popular submissions on Lisp), I start learning Lisp(or Clojure). I start Touretzky's book or other books, do exersism.io, try to write a roguelike and others and then it fizzles out in a couple of months and I start to learn other more modern tech. I was expecting enlightment, but never received it (I tried for couple of months :) ). I think this has been going on for a decade at least.
"integration" and "performance per watt" are way overrated IMHO.
My desktop is on 24/7 with multiple VMs running. I walk up to it and begin working - no startup or setup. Electricity cost is probably $20/month.
What's crazy is just a few years ago that TC was only available for IBD. Even if the trajectory is only down after the 1st year bonus, you can hop off after the paycheck. Now that money can only be found in tech.

200k is roughly ICT4 at Apple Ldn which is like 10 years of experience. GP definitely an outlier. Maybe their profile fits a narrative that the bank is pushing.
Yeah, but now there are the bonus points for a "fastish" USB-A charger (QC something, that puts out ~20W) which won't do anything to a laptop that requires "PD", even though the 20W would be enough to at least slowly charge the battery while off.
Drugs must be developed before they may be sold. The two choices are develop/not develop. The drug developer may use a spreadsheet to calculate NPV. If negative, the drug is not developed.
Oh I hope iPhone 8 will support iOs 17. Would be less than nice upgrading a year too early and being stuck on lighting for the next 7 years.
There is ample research showing that humans can't be consistently productive for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I'm less personally familiar with research on 4-day weeks, but I've seen several studies with plenty of rigor that showed that working 6 hours a day, people were, on average, at least as productive as they were working 8 hours a day.

Banish from your mind the idea that "hours spent at work" translates directly into productivity. My butt in my seat doesn't produce anything. My brain is what produces code, designs, problem-solving, ideas, etc, and it, like any other part of my body, needs periodic rest in order to function properly.
There were also iOS apps that did this as well (e.g. Camo)

That one is very important for me and is not reused at the moment.

> Any reasonable security expert will recommend you this.

Not when you get to the point that you cannot manage them in your head any more, and you need one more service (or piece of hardware) that you need to protect (via a password and/or physically).
I work in retail automotive in Ontario, Canada. It sucks to read that you paid over MSRP. The province of Ontario has a governing body called OMVIC that doesn't allow sales of new vehicles for > MSRP/sticker price. That said, not all OMVIC registered dealerships abide by that policy, but I do know the one I work for adheres to it. All told, dealerships are making the same amount of gross now as they did prior to the pandemic, if not more thanks to full margin sales despite lack of volume.
Tell HN: Facebook Is Down
As a LockPickingLawyer fan, I sometimes wonder if these “fire-proof” safes would actually withstand a fire, as there is so much bullshit labelling going on.
"Them having my name and address is quite a bit different than Google having the same data"

As stated above, they don't need that data. Instead of "me" think of your customers.

"Switching back to Firefox means your keystrokes are literally handed off to Google in real-time."

This is not about me, but about Brave.
"It is exhausting to have to argue the case for every minimal piece of good software design"

So don't do that. It's rarely worth it. I'm happy to bill $150 an hour while a couple of colleagues argue vehemently about directory structures on S3.

If you care that much about every minimal aspect of software design, then you need your own personal project. Landing on a team that all have the same good sense about software development with the ability to express that is just pure luck.

Yes, the disk should definitely be encrypted, but it could be using a rather weak password that you can memorize. The key is not to put too much trust in anything, but also not overengineer the solution. Just like DVDs - you hand an old disk to someone without the expectation that it is usable, but it can become a safety net to recover some of your most important data. Lots of copies keep stuff safe.
Why would Amazon be selling non-compliant cables? Wouldn't that kind of be against the law?
The issue here, is that OP planned for his house to be destroyed and having is phone OR not having is phone but still having his house. But didn't plan for having his house destroyed AND loosing its phone.

One can still imagine a scenario where you can loose your phone AND your house AND another recovery method etc
Really? And getting down voted by Apple fanbois is?

I have never been able to downvote. I dont know how. And yet I see legitimate questions getting downvoted for no reason in Apple threads. Pretty one sided to me.

I am not going to claim freedom of speech. I see the value in your work and the site. But I also need to point out the increasing responses Elonian and Apple posts get vs dismal responses to importsnt issues.
The article already hints at it, but lawmakers are not completely dense and allow for relatively easy amendments by the Commission. From the legislation [1]:

> "With respect to radio equipment capable of being recharged via wired charging, the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 44 to amend Annex Ia in the light of technical progress, and to ensure the minimum common interoperability between radio equipment and their charging devices, by:
(a) modifying, adding or removing categories or classes of radio equipment;
(b) modifying, adding or removing technical specifications, including references
and descriptions, in relation to the charging receptacle(s) and charging
communication protocol(s), for each category or class of radio equipment
concerned."

> I think it's wrong to claim anyone advocating a 4-day workweek must necessarily believe a company will have higher productivity.

The experiment being discussed here literally sets workers the target of achieving the same output as they previously managed in 5 days.

Sure, some people prefer 4 day weeks and happily take a pay cut in return and some people want government intervention to give them a better deal, but - unlike the 5 day week - there is an explicit productivity claim by many 4 day week advocates being assessed here

I am allowed to be disappointed in his advocacy of a position that undermines his life’s work. That his major accomplishments are cryptographic in nature is precisely why I called him out specifically, and not some random hack.

Don, sometimes people can find themselves advocating for policies that accidentally undermine their long held positions in other areas.

Without the man coming on HN and explaining his apparently incongruous position, though, who can say?
Hey, I don’t need even more Mandela Effects, ok?
Yes, done on purpose. IMO when discussing morality, we should consistently applying it, a litmus test for whether it holds up or not.

I am arguing that your case is fundamentally flawed, irrational, corrupt, inconsistent and dangerous.

Edit: I can't respond to your slippery slope fallacy but you started with an extremely broad stance "Anything that can be created, will be created. However, that doesn't free you from all moral culpability." I am responding in kind with an extremely broad implications. I guess we're busy debating which fallacy falls in whose arm with not addressing what I countered your argument with. First came the victimization, then a strawman card, then a slippery slope fallacy card. But you never considered responding to what happens when we take your ideas and consistently apply them. I still don't understand why you feel like you're being accused. I am arguing about the points you raised. No one is accussing you of anything.
My pleasure. I hope it earns a place in your collection when I'm ready to release. (Trying my best for a demo this month.)

I think one of the coolest features is that you learn different spells depending on what you write.

For example, if you write horror you'll learn spookier spells than if you write romance or technobabble.

https://twitter.com/LeapJosh/status/1519398797079625733 and then you create rituals using those spells powered by yet more writing.
That’s been done. Over half of trial sites are outside the US.

I've got an escape hatch for most of my auth. An encrypted file with my bitwarden backup and recovery codes exists in a public not listable s3 bucket under a random uuid file name. I've got its (partial) name stored with friends without any context. I hope I'll never have to use it...
Apple sells 50 million out of 250 million phones in the EU.

Imagine if their revenue drops by 20%...
Even then - this is a fairly ugly solution. You're dependent on an external entity to be responsible with your stuff in the case of an emergency.

I love my friends and family, but I'm not sure I'd trust them to keep a random file/paper for years on end "just in case" and still be able to find it when I need it.

Personally - I went with the "extra yubikey in a safe deposit box" approach, and it still feels super shitty.

I'm not at all a fan of "code is law".
The classic example being the Banana shaped phone receiver icon on android and ios. There are People alive today only know that shape as the call icon and never use that type of land line.
I've worked in offices before (engineering, architectural) that have one day a week where they don't answer the phone except for emergencies, and lets say friday is 'catch up and do paperwork day'.

Externally it might seem like 4 days a week, but its actually 5 with one where you can't reach them.
Voice to Text transcription is worth it in itself. I hate when people send me voice messages: it's slightly less effort for them in exchange for much more annoyance and wasted time for me.
It's just really not clear to me that regulators need to be mandating product design.

I have no expectation, for example, that these same regulators will stay on top of this and revise it when USB-C stops being the preferred or best choice.

Twenty years ago, we really DID have a snarl of competing and proprietary phone ports. It was a mess -- Blackberry chargers didn't work with Palm; most WinMo devices had their own ports; etc. It was ugly.

Now, pretty much everything is either USB or Lightning. This is good! What problem is the EU solving here?
I remember the author was suffering from mental illness for a while. He updated the app after a recovery.
How often does this happen in practice, though?

My 6 year-old iPhone that I plug and unplug a bunch of times a day still keeps the plugs in very snuggly. They basically don't move. And I've pulled on the connector many, many times, by stepping on the cord and pulling the phone up.

Contrast this with my 2 month-old laptop in which the usb-c cables move around, even though it spends 90% on the time plugged in.

---

Edit: I did have connection issues at one point, but it was due to pocket lint that had accumulated inside the port. It was easily removable with a toothpick, and the connector went back to working like new.

The fact that SVM was the #2 algo in these results, and that linear methods beat out all the other methods means there's something going awry.
Hack Global, Buy Local: The Inefficiencies of the Zero-Day Exploit Market
> I mean, at that point it's no better than a microcontroller.

Agreed, but what's the state of the art for the alternatives? Android has Termux, which is basically a Debian chroot - can you get it to talk to the rest of the OS sensibly? Can you write a shell script to act on an incoming SMS[1]? Can you run Android Studio on Android? What about the base system - can it be made self-hosting? SailfishOS is dead - I take my Jolla out of the drawer once a year to check how many kernel or Firefox releases they're lagging behind. Does PostmarketOS have at least one device where all hardware is supported?

Meanwhile yes, all options for the iPad are either Apple-sanctioned or - as TFA shows - pure homebrew. This is not a PC, but neither is any of the alternatives. However the sanctioned options are relatively decent from the "getting stuff done" PoV: Shortcuts is basically shell scripts with a GUI; Playgrounds[2] can build native iPad apps. It's not freedom by any definition, but you can't call it a microcontroller. You could argue a shell would be more practical than Shortcuts... But iSH[3] exists.

> But running recent bash is a requirement for maintaining servers, cross-platform *NIX development and a huge number of toolchains.

Interesting, I guess YMMV again. I have the stock, ancient Bash on my Mac, and no Bash at all on my OpenBSD box. But I can easily imagine some random toolchain having a 10000-line Bash monster as a launcher/updater, I was probably lucky so far.
