  • And this is why peertube will never actually take off outside of a Utopian future of unlimited energy and a future where everything is perfectly distributed

    Who is going to pay the hosting costs? Who is going to pay the bandwidth costs? Let’s say magic happens and the users donate enough for that. Who is going to pay the creators who that is their main source of income?

    Now what will happen when people demand 4k content everywhere, and then 8k after that? That quadruples the cost of the bandwidth and hosting costs.

    I absolutely hate hate hate subscription models and hate ads. There has to be a subscription model for any video hosting platform, and YouTube doesn’t split up into exclusivity deals like shitty steaming services to screw over the consumer for profit. So at least there is that.

    Decentralized systems work extremely well for text and even audio-based services. Video is a whole other beast, especially long form video at high resolutions.







  • I don’t really get the idea of decentralized internet.

    The internet is already decentralized. There are millions of websites hosted on thousands of separately-owned machines.

    “Decentralized” services like the fediverse use thus exact same structure and bind them together by a search/aggregation API.

    The “centralized” part of the internet is DNS, Service providers, and search.

    You are perfectly allowed to go your whole life without using search, or by self-hosting searX.

    If we go back to the age of webrings, that is essentially decentralized internet. It seems like every decentralized internet idea is just a rehash of this with some Tor ideas sprinkled in.

    You are never going to be able to pull a “Silicon Valley” and make every device into a mini server. The ping and uptime would be horrific.


  • Sorry, I think options like Firefly III for that might not be sufficient for small business, but it was the only great Foss personal finance software for a long time.

    Odoo is the gold standard for business. I think they also have a business finance app? It isn’t free, but the cost is reasonable.

    Otherwise, I use Leantime for project management. If you work in a project-based or contract-based company (like consultancy or design house), then it has a lot of project & product features including time tracking with a plugin. Not financial though.

  • Well the gadgetbridge comment is not really true.

    It can’t pull activities from Strava, runkeeper, or similar or push to them. Syncing across services via APIs or Heath Connect stops it from really being a proprietary watch software replacement or a google fit replacement as they all do that and it is a core function because people want to use the apps they want to use. For example, lifting tracking from Progression or similar which other apps like gadgetbridge or strava just aren’t made for. It doesn’t have the functionality built in to cover every activity set.

    GPX is extremely limited and is only GPS data, not good for fitness trackers as they track all sorts of activities. TCX or FIT are better, but of course managed by Garmin. There isn’t really an open alternative standard. I guess the closest we come is the Health Connect API which is completely local interoperability.




  • Lol an IKEA kitchen now a bit bigger than that is 10k€ without placement and composite counters and no floor. Prices have over doubled in the past 5 years. + floor and actual stone countertop is easily 15k

    We are renovating our entire house and doing everything except pouring concrete slabs and our tile roof ourselves and the kitchen this big + and island is 15k€ at good value places, slightly better places are 25k+ with placement.

    5k is an absolute pipe dream. Wholesale materials alone without appliances would be around 9k (assuming decent quality cupboards and real stone)
