I started using linux full time about a year ago. I started with Arch, but moved to Cachy really quickly when I discovered it. All of the advantages of Arch, but repos optimised for modern hardware, and a whole heap of useful pre-configured tools, like Wine/Proton, fish, snapper etc. Arch is a bare bones, pick and configure your own setup rolling release distro. Cachy is a pre-optimised, rolling release distro with lots of useful stuff right out of the box.
At the moment, its challenging for creators to generate income from Peertube. In theory, the avenue they have is through patreons and the like, but in practice, peertube doesn't yet have the volume of users to make that work. And as a result, it's going to be hard to use any kind of "premium/paid" tier service, simply because there won't be many takers.
In my mind, right now, if you're trying to attract creators, you're going to need to reduce as many barriers as you can for them to move over. That may mean co-existing accounts on bigtech platforms and on peertube, and in terms of helping with your running costs, voluntary donations are the best way of doing it for now, until peertube gets a larger volume of users.
Either way, we spun up our own peertube instance a few weeks ago too, so welcome to the vidiverse :)
There is, by forking lemmy and removing it. We already do that anyway, so we'll look in to seeing what we can do.
In the mean time, we offer a bunch of other frontends aside from the default lemmy UI, and they will all bypass this problem
No, he was not unbanned, and he won't be unless a genuine walkback of his previous stance is made
Where are you seeing that? I can't find it in the WebUI
Australia
Would like to end up in Argentina or Uruguay though!
That would be a pretty useful feature for a lot of people, especially if you could apply it to a community level. I know lots of people block meme communities etc, but having an option to auto collapse/hide them, but still access them if needed would make things easier for many folk
Thank you! I'll be watching with great interest! Lots of potential :)
A couple of questions. If I was trying to keep a consistent workspace to build a community around, would it be persistent after the host logs off, and are their tools to protect it from trolls etc who discover it a workspace?
It means you won't end up with dual boot breaking one of your installs, you won't accidentally overwrite anything etc.
Entirely optional, but if you were already planning on removing it anyway, it's not really any extra work
If you've got two slots and a modern motherboard, you can do the same thing but keep both m.2 devices installed. If you really want to be sure, take out the windows device, install Linux on the second, and then put the windows device back in. You'll be able to swap back to windows if needed that way without swapping things out

Men of Lemmy, what do you think could be done to encourage more women to use Lemmy?
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Absolutely. I'm one of them. But there's a lot of peertube instances that serve that need.
The OP was talking about creating a moderated instance, with high production quality requirements for members, with the possibility of charging for extra upload capacity etc. And that narrows the field down to people who either make their living from producing video content, or want to make their living from producing video content. That's the group I was talking about
Absolutely, but the one its missing is a major source of income for most professionals and semi professionals who make their living from video content. And folk who rely on YouTube advertising aren't just going to be able to drop YouTube for Peertube whilst keeping a consistent income stream. Which means the OP (and the OP specifically, not peertube in general) will need to make space for allowing those users to exist in a way that encourages them to move to Peertube, without cutting off the income they currently make from centralised corporate platforms.
My partner and I run a peertube instance out of our own pockets, and we make videos and host other folk making videos, without caring about their quality or experience. For us, it's about giving folk voices. But I wasn't talking about peertube in general, or folk like myself, I was addressing the OPs situation
