I thought we disliked communism here? Oh right, when orange man does it, it OK. Unga munga.
You have to lick it to get it to stick to the laser.
YUP! We talked about Cory Doctorow’s Deep Crack! Well it’s not his, he’s just borrowing the deep crack. :-D I’m a child. It’s this and it’s SUPER cool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFF_DES_cracker
Cory Doctorow is fantastic. I spoke with him on Fireside Fedi and he’s just brilliant and has seen some amazing tech. We even talked about his deep crack. That and lots of other interviews with Fedi folks for anyone interested: https://video.firesidefedi.live/w/huevh4L6r1yMYXqcQMi8gR
Next up 1001!
Talking with Ben Pate today at 1500 Eastern. Robert is tomorrow at 1100
No harm in that. To each their own. :-) Everyone gets to decide at least.
Good plan. Keep locking down your big tech platforms, and we’ll all be over here letting folks know where they can find freedom.
Actually going to be talking with Robert W. Gehl tomorrow on Fireside Fedi! I just found out about him, a few weeks ago, and he’s written extensively on social media. I’ve unfortunately not been able to acquire any of his books to prepare, but they seem to all be incredibly interestingly titled.

I personally LOVE Owncast. It’s how I’ve met numerous folks and built a community. I use my own for games and tech, https://stream.ozoned.net/ . I’ve even done some testing to see how much overhead it needs, https://video.firesidefedi.live/w/1itGRqF41XeTfrismnsesL , and how many opens streams you can have.
I also use Owncast to livestream my Fireside Fedi episodes, https://stream.firesidefedi.live/ . I even spoke with Gabe Kangas on the show in the past https://video.firesidefedi.live/w/nyM8V7WzVb1f2GehjAdSTX
I’ve spoken to numerous folks that flat out tell me it can’t work. With THOUSANDS of people you’d probably hit bandwidth limitations, but there’s S3 buckets and CDNs. Whether they’ll let you push livestreams to those for the long term is yet to be seen.
I’m very biases though as I love Owncast, I love controlling MY platform, and I love Fedi. Also I run the unofficial owncast community.
It’s more of a statement on how his followers justify these types of things. Not him. I know he’s a wanna be dictator.
