A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How much do people think it costs to host a PeerTube instance? Most creators could self host their videos on peertube for $50 a year or less on a vps. for more serious creators or a small group of creators, test site https://comics.peertube.biz is on a dedicated server with unlimited 500mbps for under a hundred a month and has 43,250 videos using 7.5 TB. Server still has 20TB free.
PeerTube's federation is much better designed for efficiency than Mastodon. Federation lowers bandwidth cost for PeerTube, unlike Mastodon where it increases exponentially with growth. The P2P and P2N design means many different kinds of inexpensive instances are possible. With the new remote transcoding and the s3 object storage the actual PeerTube instance is really sparing on resources.
