*taking a big breath* ok, I want to try this idea before I talk myself out of it again.

Giving singing lessons.

I would like to try my hand at teaching singing. Sliding scale prices, lessons via the video conference program of your least discomfort. Get-to-know-you lesson free.

For coordination, my time zone is CEST/UTC+2 and I am not completely free in when I can make noise/have appropriate privacy for teaching, but I guess we can get that figured out.

@eylul @gidi the good news is that there are lots of Object Storage services now that offer an S3-compatible API at decent prices. I get mine from Linode, but there's actually a decent selection of choices out there.

@eylul overall, it works okay - if you stick with like 1-2 resolution variants per video, you won't have many problems. Transcoding is kind of demanding on the CPU, though.

I ended up starting a community instance and use Object Storage with it now because it's kind of cheaper and I get way more space out of it.

Developing themes for @write_as / @writefreely has always been a bit of a pain. I've gotten used to working around the limitations, but I always wanted to make the process accessible to more people.

Today I'm finally releasing 🐴 CSShorse, a tool for editing #WriteFreely themes and previewing your work in real-time, with your real blog. (Based on @htmlhouse.)

@eylul there’s a hardware section on the about page of most servers and there’s a faq on the main site: https://joinpeertube.org/faq#should-i-have-a-big-server-to-run-peertube

I currently run a single user PeerTube on 2 vCpu, 500MB ram (amazon t3a.nano) (without the database). Normally this runs fine, but is definitely too small to do transcoding. A recent test took 24 hours while the same job took a few minutes with 2GB ram. Previously my server ran on 2 vCpu, 1GB ram (t3a.micro) (including the database) and that only causes minor swapping during transcoding and is quite doable. This seems the best configuration for a single user site.

Cpu % hardly ever exceeds 1%.

Storage is fully dependent on how many videos you’re going to upload. You can use S3. About transfer I can’t say much, since mostly this is handled by the S3 servers and I don’t see it…

Just in case you wanted to hear me talk about implementing rotating space stations for #VR with #GodotEngine for 45 minutes and missed the original at this year's #LibreGraphicsMeeting, here you go: https://youtube.com/watch?v=PBuyVl2uot8

Continued #VR keyboard tinkering, now with key clicking! #GodotEngine

If you're interested in setting up a #Mobilizon instance, #Yunohost has an application for this !

Package with version 1.0.0 is currently in testing (we're trying to find a way to properly run our test suite ...!)

The darktable user manual is largely outdated. Problem is it uses an esoteric kind of XML required by a brittle software stack (Saxon) to be compiled into HTML or PDF.
This complexity steers away many contributors.
But thanks to Chris Elston, @secretlifeofmatt and @paperdigits, it is being rewritten in Markdown with a better "tutorial" approach.
