  • So you’re a power user? Case in point, you’d be better for Fedora.

    Also my second distro was mint, after 3+ years of the old hdd’s non-use, I pulled it out last year when my install of some OS broke, updated it to zero issues (I was curious), used the software for a bit, all was good.

    3 years without an update to zero issues.

    Haven’t seen any issue with Mint updates yet like I’ve fought in Fedora






  • Iirc, uploading videos really isn’t an issue.

    You find the video you want to upload, choose a thumbnail, choose like 5 tags (because like the federation that’s the main way you find stuff), potentially choose a language, then place down like 0.01 lbry credits or so for it to be uploaded to the block chain & the bittorrent network/lbry’s servers themselves.

    FFmpeg is used to convert the video to a more friendly formatting on the client itself right before sending & boom, video is up.


  • I ran a lbry seeder a few months ago to practice devops & data science.

    The lbry crypto is used to hold links to every bit of content uploaded into the network, boosting content on the platform, enforcing channel names, creating paywalls for certain content on the platform, & tipping creators.

    The blockchain network’s primary goal is to hold a long list of in network links that correspond to content stored on individual computers, so when you put in for example lbry://fireship#f/Java_for_haters or something like that, iirc (I’m not near my PC rn), the request goes to delegation servers which query the block chain, return the video link and then call devices on the BitTorrent lower network to send over the requested blobs.

    I may be wrong on if the delegation server or the block chain is queried first, but that is basically how it works.

    As for moderation/censorship, this is done on a web server built with the lbry apis delivering the videos to the client. You basically can Blocklist individual links or entire domains per se in the bc network so they will not appear on your stuff. This is how they get rid of copyright infringing stuff. Use a different client & change the moderation server and you will see videos odysee.com blocked. I believe you can setup a whitelist too.

    Finally, I don’t think comments are actually built into the library protocol itself but are still managed in house by lbry/odysee inc itself. Would have to look deeper into this one, but it wasn’t baked in last time I checked.

    The lack of moderation isn’t due to the lbry protocol, it’s the deliberate decision of the lbry team to avoid doing anything as much as possible to show a contrast to YouTube.


  • Travel the Caribbean & document my travels & the cultures & concerns of the people I meet with my own eyes

    Why not? Well, I’m an actual idiot in reading social situations, Knowing who to trust, inferring details, attempting any meaningful level of reading comprehension on the spot, avoiding the urge to hyper focus on random stuff (makes people uncomfortable sometimes), trying to be humourous in terms of wordplay, and nowadays just avoiding social exhaustion.

    Now with all that, imagine the amount of judgement & talking down to I’ve gotten just entering into social events or even bars.

    A trip to the Caribbean to understand people?

    Not happening lmao!!!

    To those of you who can, you’re all blessed.

    Let’s see…

    1: Linux Mint (Ubuntu sans bs) / Linux Mint Debian Edition or Pop! OS (ubuntu based)

    2: Straight Debian or Debian Sid

    3: Basically the tinkerers’ distros, like Arch, Void, Gentoo, etc.

    4: if youre actually concerned about privacy as if you’re a target of somebody, then maybe Qubes OS

    You tell the average dude about how servers exist and the first instinct is that it matters, so they stop, fret about the importance, look for a second, then just drop it because they dont give enough hoots yet to invest more effort versus using a centralized service.

    Want ppl to join, don’t even tell them about servers. No choice paralysis, no fear of being wrong, nada
