Can you elaborate on “sharing”?

I assume daily would be a bit much considering it’s gonna be a few TB worth of HDDs which aren’t exactly fast

What is the concern here?

Not before they render the remainder of the internet useless.

That’s not a Mumble fork.

What has he done to queer people?

It was recently featured by a top 10 YouTuber.

Luckey hasn’t had anything to do with Oculus in years.

Don’t you dare speak ill of HEB.

Listing the games isn’t really helpful without specific resolution/FPS/Quality you’re looking for. I’m assuming 4k/60 for living room setup? What about your budget for hardware? Also kind of a long list, can you narrow it down to the 5 or so that you play most often? A $350 Steam Deck would play all of those at minimum settings.

It does but that’s beside the point. We’re discussing a hypothetical future.

This is just 12 different kinds of incorrect.

Think of how much diak space YouTube is using

Disk space will be the least of your concerns when running a service like YT.

If everyone can’t upload videos it we’ll never replace YouTube.

1. Everyone CAN upload videos to their own instance.
2. It doesn’t have to replace YouTube. It can exist alongside it as a competitor.

There is already a plug-in that supports that, along with Stripe integration.

100 subscriber is NBD. Let’s talk when you have thousands or even millions of active users. At some point you’re going to hit a wall if you were to hypothetically scale up. Costs of service would need to be covered somehow.

The sustainability argument stems from technological constraints. YouTube as a company has no problem sustaining millions of dollars in server infrastructure to serve media. Most self-hosters wouldn’t be able to do that without significant income.

I don’t agree with this perspective but also don’t know enough about server infrastructure or video streaming to argue against it.

Then don’t give me excuses. Don’t be a scumbag. External launchers only exist to serve ads and DRM, they have no benefit to the consumer. I own hundreds of games, imagine if each one of them required a dedicated launcher!?

Yeah I pirate all the games that:

• Require an internet connection
• Use Denuvo
• Require a dedicated launcher
• Require a connected account

If you’re going to make the paid experience significantly worse than the free one because you want to implement anti-consumer BS, go fuck yourself

If you have your own domain how are they going to trace that to anyone else?

volunteer-run services are much less likely to use your email address for nefarious purposes

Less likely, sure. Still very possible? Yes. Not a risk I’m interested in taking.

save the tinfoil hats for BigTech™

You’re free to do what you want with your instance but you’re extremely naive if you think selling/leaking contact info is “tinfoil hat” territory.

It’s in the display settings FYI

Was the Signal fork FOSS?
