This is incredible!

American sites like this so rarely ship to France, or it costs a litteral fortune just in shipping, here it’s 130€ for a 12TB shipping included!

Wow.

Thanks!

Interesting, how would you configure that? I mean if it’s easy, I could authorize, upload and remove the authorisation.

Edit: would it be so easy as adding the file extensions and ‘up’ the upload limit?

Okaay yeah that seems completely obvious when you think about it. I was a tee worried you’d have to like block everything everything :-)

If I don’t go the whole peertube way, I probably just link the videos. Good advice, thanks!

Thanks, I could start out just using someone’s peertube, but where is the fun and tinkering in that :-)

I will keep it in mind for a fallback solution though.

Oh man, I checked out Peertube and it’s amazing! Obviously overkill for my needs, but it seems like a really good platform (and it’s from France, yay!).

Only worry I have, will my instance “mirror” other I stances? I’m confident sharing videos because I know they won’t be looked at very much, but with a sort of decentralized cache system it could be costly (in bandwidth).

Hello !

I’m a self hoster of a lemmy art instance. I would like to have the possibility to make informative videos, for example how do you do large flat areas in watercolor or how does this paper holds up etc.

I guess those videos would be minutes long and seen maybe dozens of times per year (or decade), that’s why I would like to try to self host them (I have a ~700Mb up line) but good luck searching for it or my google-fu (Duck duck go fu…) has totally left me.

I would love to integrate it with lemmy but I’m not there yet (haven’t even compiled the sources) so some sort of web serving would perfectly do.

Any idea of where to start off? FOSS would be lovely off course:-)

Thank you !

“and thirty minutes later a man posted being interested”, “the market is enormous”

Like wow, a guy looking for a hookup, how hard is that to find lol.

Yeah feels like a paid for opinion-publicity. Of course you have to use their shitty app to see NSFW now too so a win win right!!

Hello all!

I’m the proud owner of a selfhosted Lemmy server, Yay :-) and I wondered if it wouldn’t be a good ides to somehow gather a list of small instances so that we can add them to our “Allowed Instances” list EDIT: DO NOT DO THIS!! It will Break Federation, see below!, and them to add ours (mine has no real users yet).

The reason is that so everyone doesn’t need to flock to the big ones only, and help that rare niche community getting some rare exposure so maybe you’ll stumble onto it one day when filtering by New. Today they don’t get any at all I guess.

In my memory, Reddit was like that back in the day when it was good, real enthusiasts (and a lot more for sure) but hard to come by. You’d stumble on some weird sub about nanotech or fountainpens and meet likeminded people.

What do you think?

EDIT

DO NOT add anything to the “Allowed instances” as it will stop federation with any other instance!

To be perfectly clear, if you add lemmy.abc.com to the Allowed instances, your server will only federate with lemmy.abc.com. Ask me how I know :-)

So that’s not good. Maybe we could set up a user_nice account on our servers, for those who want to, and sub to small subs reciprocally.
