Owncast Stream whatever you want on your own platform and announce natively to the Fediverse!

IDK why but tons of folks think it’s not feasible as they need million dollar computers. I’ve streamed to 70+ open streams, albeit as a test, on a like $5/month VPS. The key is that the resources needed are how many qualities you’re transcoding, not how many folks are viewing. Yes bandwidth is needed for each viewer, but that’s significantly less than people imagine.

Full transparency I run the !owncast@lemmy.world community, but I’m in no way affiliated with the project. I just love open platforms and open source.

I stream on Owncast and really enjoy it. One of the easiest installations I’ve ever had with software. And despite what lots of folks think you don’t need a million dollars to stream to groups of folks.

Full disclosure I run the !owncast@lemmy.world community and actively promote it on Matrix if anyone is interested or need help. :-D

I just did an image search for adorable and saw this. It looks cute imo, of course don’t harm animals. Man this place makes me really not want to participate anymore.

I searched for adorable and look at imagaes and posted! Wow.

You mean that I did an internet search for adorable and found a cute picture and posted it?

Their design was more mobile type wherr you don’t minimize windows, you just switch between them or between spaces. I’ve used Gnome forever, including the rough times on Gnome 3.0, and I’ve always used a system tray as well. Never liked leaving clutter everywhere and imo it goes against the minimal design. But thankfully easily extendible.

It was in the description of the video, but it’s a Hetzner VPS with 3 cores, 4GB of ram, 80GB disk, 20TB bandwidth.

oh my gosh my heart wants to explode they’re so CUTE! Thank you for sharing!

This was super insightful and nothing something that even crossed my mind. Thank you for explaining this. I can now see what mononomi was referring to. I appreciate the well thought out explanation. Thank you very much!

I just like to think they’re friends or brother and sister personally. 😁

Thanks for posting. Just signed up to the list. I have my own GoToSocial, but I’d still love to check out Mozilla’s Mastodon.

This is literally the self-hosted community. I’m talking about self-hosted livestreaming platform. If you want to call it a blog + video, ok sure. Everything is basically a rehash of everything else. Just trying to share some self-hosted information. And I’m not the dev of Owncast or anything, just someone trying to make others aware of self-hosting software.

I’m not understanding what you’re stating. Me streaming a video game isn’t blogging. If you mean that there isn’t a list of folks all streaming, well there’s https://directory.owncast.com to find folks. If you mean only you can stream to it, well that’s not true as you can set up multiple stream keys and allow others to stream to it as well. So I’m really not understanding what you’re stating.

Nope. Full self hosted livestreaming. I personally use it to stream games. I started a communit at !owncast/lemmy.world and I’ve listed a few different streams. Some folks game, classic movies, music, etc. It’s your own self hosted Twitch or YT streaming, etc.

Awesome! TY! Who couldn’t use more lettuce eating lettuce in their life?

Now all we need is some fruit cannibalism and we’ll have a well rounded meal! :-D

Brilliant! Thank you so much for the recommendation! :-)

And already I’ve learned about referencing communities in Lemmy, thank you Mr. Lemmy bot, whoever you are.

And thank you to folks for helping me realize that I don’t have a clue how to create a post. URL OR Picture. Not both. :-D

This blog actually prompted me to set up a lemmy community !owncast@lemmy.world and I shared the blog there and just saw your post as well. :-D

I <3 the #fediverse and #owncast is such an amazing piece of it. Let’s take back the internet!

!owncast@lemmy.world

But you have a space in there. I don’t know how spaces are handled in fstab. You’ll either need to quote it or at least escape the space:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 ‘/media/lucky/New Volume’ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

OR

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\ Volume ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

The space is absolutely an issue in fstab as it’s thinking “Volume” is the filesystem type and ntfs goes into your options, etc.

You’ve made a directory path literally called

/media/lucky/New Volume

?

That REALLY doesn’t seem like a good idea considering that *'s are wildcards for anything, and Linux isn’t really fond of spaces.

The error basically tells you that you have an error on line 18, which I’m assuming is this line you’re stating and that it’s ignored that line so that it can still go on and mount other things.

Most likely you’d want something like:

# mkdir /media/lucky/NewVol

and then your fstab would be:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/NewVol ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

Also do you have a lib or something for linux to handle NTFS file system types? I haven’t run Windows in 17 years now, so I don’t have a clue if Linux can natively handle NTFS.

You can also run:

# lsblk

or

# blkid

to get the storage information and verify the storage UUID is correct.
