"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

If you're self-hosting your own video, what is the purpose of peertube? Is it sort of a link aggregator? Why not just give people your own urls?
The purpose is to have it so that no one can take your stuff down on a whim since you own and control the infrastructure you're posting on assuming you're using a physical server in your own place and not a VPS.
If you've got enough bandwidth from home to serve video, some megacorp is controlling it ;). I've used icecast through a VPS to serve live video publicly. I thought peertube was something like youtube but I haven't looked at it.
PeerTube is federated YT basically, and a megacorp isn't controlling your instance when it's on a physical server you own, especially if it's a private instance where you're the only one who uploads.
