You might think that this is clearly a joke. That no one would actually do this. But you don’t know how the people at the other keyboards are going to take it. Case in point.

Yeah I’m excited about it. Dubious and skeptical, but excited too.

I believe Vault/BitWarden caches all passwords on all devices. So you can create a backup anytime. Even when the instance is down.

I read that as chickens and thought your grand plan was to start a farm, LMAO.

Honestly, people generally have more compute power than they need. If this proverbial platform came with an efficient transcoder, then the files just need to be hosted.
The torrenting scene is alive and well with users fronting the cost and taking legal risks. Many torrents have enough speed to actually stream the content while it’s downloading. Hard to say now… But if somebody set up a solid peer-to-peer solution, I think it has a chance.

I think this is super interesting, and a really good idea. But as others have stated in this thread, very costly.

However until technology catches up, maybe we could have an interstitial federated platform. One that’s super decentralized. Like 90% of the users running their own instance, decentralized. Anyone with a NAS can host they’re own vids. Then the other 10% that are willing to host high bandwidth, high capacity servers, can work as caching for the most popular videos.

A phone without the actual phone part. Just SMS/MMS. Maybe a notification that someone tried to call

It’s a great and rewarding hobby! But having cloud connected devices on the same network as your sensitive information is an issue.

Use a vLAN and IoT devices capable of local control. Use a self hosted hub like Home Assistant. Keep devices that collect sensitive information (like a camera) out of sensitive areas (like the bedroom). Then you should be reasonably secure.

Sure that’s a strat! Trick is working out ripping the vids. First thought is the youtubedl tool (works on more than YouTube. Namely HTML5 video, that a lot of steaming sights use.)

Look into automation with Radarr/Sonarr. But yeah, will require some backend work. Also server resources for things like transcoding and bandwidth. Unless you want to automate scraping other steaming sites and just provide a curated list of links to those other streaming sites…

Does linkding support groups? Looking for a way to quickly save a whole window of project tabs to get back to…
