#makertube — Public Fediverse posts

--- MY WORKOUT VIDEOS ---

i keep my workout videos at https://makertube.net/a/3morereps_workouts/videos currently but looks like i'll need to move away as they're gonna make 2 gb space as a max free quota. that would mean only one or two workouts. i chose this hosting as the space for hosting used to be unlimited. i'm for free internet but i know that it's a lot of someone's effort and i know how the motivation to do something for free dies without getting anything in return as it happens with me all the time.

however my own income is zero and i can't afford paying especially for something that i give away for free myself.

so i don't yet know if i want to make an effort to look for a new hosting and continue.
for the moment i don't see a point to continue doing it online publicly as i get nothing myself so it stopped being priority.
still i may do it privately when the autumn starts - but again, if i can find a new free hosting.

Excited to do a little artist talk at Urbanglass at 6:00 pm tonight as a part of my residency there this summer and officially debut this drawing submission box sculpture. Hooray NEA funding and public engagement- I will choose my one lucky drawing from this box or website will be chosen to be be made in new colors of neon.

In this way we can collaborate and have both co own the outcome.

The acrylic box is made from scraps of acrylic that were once used in a Manhattan ad campaign and were slated for the trash.

You can also submit digital drawings here (line drawings preferred)

https://color.cccfl.co/

I will choose the drawing to make on August 20th.

It is great to see the #PeerTube ecosystem gaining substance. I did not really study this quantitatively, but I find myself ever more often having luck trying a #SepiaSearch before a #duckduck video search. There are some genres very well represented, in particular the more nerdy stuff, naturally.

On #MakerTube where I help moderation, I see an actual clear increase in users and daily content creation.

Why doesn't #duckduckgo include results from the peertube-verse?

Première vidéo sur peertube, juste un brouillon d'une vidéo que je fais pour apprendre l'animation. Sur leTDAH.

Au fait, j'ai essayé Procreate Dreams, mais bizarrement, cela ne fonctionne pas pour moi, et je pensais que Procreate était si facile à apprendre et fluide, alors j'utilise toujours la fonction d'animation de procreate. J'aime aussi ToonSquid

First video on peertube, just a draft of a video I am making to learn animation. Something about ADHD.
By the way, I have been trying Procreate Dreams but weirdly it’s not working for me, and I thought Procreate was so easy to learn and fluid, so I still use the animation fonction of procreate. I also like ToonSquid

I am working on posting my first video on @MakerTube, I never poster a video on a video platform. How do you find copyright free music ? Or is there a musician that would like to collaborate ?
A Black and Queer creator would be preferred.

I’m all-in on the Fediverse as the best way to own my own data and network. It’s based on an open standard (ActivityPub), loosely-coupled and open source services, and everyday people (and, it isn’t subject to the whims of lying, narcissistic billionaires). You can think of it as the next iteration of the open web, with social features baked in.

I’ve got a number of accounts that correspond with content that the different networks are good at – posts on Mastodon, photos on Pixelfed, reading habits on Bookwyrm. If I post something on one that I think my followers on a different network may like, I can boost it directly for them to see; or, folks can follow me on whatever platform they choose. My WordPress blog has federation switched on, too, so you can if you like follow @andypiper@andypiper.co.uk, and read my blog posts directly in your Fediverse platform of choice. (of course, RSS remains another excellent way to follow my blog).

By the way, if you’re curious what the buzz about the Fediverse is all about, I recommend Elena Rossini’s newsletter The Future is Federated – in the edition that was published today, she did a great job of explaining some of the interoperability between federated networks, from the perspective of, you know, just actually, using them, rather than from a deep technical angle. Worth following!

One of the other services I’ve been using is PeerTube, a federated alternative to YouTube. Up until now I’ve been on Diode Zone. However, that instance recently started to run into some storage issues, and also switched off the live broadcast feature that I’d occasionally used to stream some 3D printing and pen plotter content (this is straightforward to configure in OBS, by the way). I really appreciated my time on Diode Zone, but I’ve chosen to move across to MakerTube, a relatively newer instance dedicated to “makers, musicians, artists and DIY content creators”.

One of the core elements of the Fediverse is data ownership, and some form of portability. When I first joined Mastodon I started out at mastodon.social/@andypiper – if you visit that profile page now, you’ll find my posts starting in November 2016 and ending in November 2022, when I moved over to my current home, macaw.social – there’s a large message that points you at my current location if you look at my original profile. When I switched instances, my whole follower network went with me, seamlessly – unlike, for example, Twitter, where I lost everything when I deleted all my accounts; or Facebook, which heavily relies on its lock-in – read Cory Doctorow‘s excellent book The Internet Con to understand what’s happening there.

The current state of portability is absolutely not perfect – in the case of Mastodon, there’s a process which enables to you to migrate from one server to another, and that automatically resubscribes you to your network, and your followers to your new account, but it’s currently not technically possible to take the past posts with you (there is a W3C Social Web Incubator Community Group taskforce that is working on a more complete set of specifications for data portability that may help to improve this in the future).

Here is how I moved from Diode Zone to MakerTube:

• Requested an account on MakerTube. They want to know who is part of the community, their content intentions, etc. I explained that I’m a maker and I also may plan to use the streaming feature.
• Requested an export of data from Diode Zone.
  • this was technically a little bit frustrating, as it got stuck the first time (likely because I had requested it when there were earlier storage issues), but the instance owner was really kind and helped to clear the stuck process.
  • it was also a bit annoying because of the size of my export including the videos, which was a lot of gigabytes; so I ended up having to run a script that kept running wget with a resume flag to get the data in chunks.
• Setup the basics of my new account on MakerTube.
• Imported the export from the other instance.
• Modified a few places that were pointing to Diode Zone, such as my links page, and also updated a few embeds that were loading videos from my previous account, such as some of the Fedidevs.org meeting recordings.
  • … while I was doing that, I thought I’d take advantage of PeerTube’s multi-channel capability, and created a specific channel for Fedidevs content, which you can now follow @fedidevs from other Fediverse platforms.

There were a couple of slightly rough edges, but nothing very significant:

• Unlike Mastodon, PeerTube does not run a process to tell your followers that you have moved, and to resubscribe them to your new account. In my case I didn’t have a huge number of followers, but I will be posting a video there to say that I moved, and I also updated my profile information to point to the new instance. It did re-follow the accounts I had followed, but didn’t do the other side of the process.
• The new instance imported my playlists, which was great – but some of them were playlists of my own videos, which I tend to create for curation and organisation, and of course, they still pointed at the videos on the previous instance. This was fairly straightforward to fix, just removed and re-added the videos on the new instance.

So there you are. You can follow my entire MakerTube account, my main channel, or the Fedidevs channel, if you like. I also have it set up to import future content that I may choose to post to YouTube, so that it has a free and open backup that Google can’t delete if I ever lose my account there.

I’m still frustrated that WordPress doesn’t seem to have a good integration for PeerTube content yet – I can paste a YouTube link here and get an embedded video, that’s less easy for PeerTube – but, I’m hopeful that will improve in the future.
