Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Original source with options for video and audio downloads, independent from YouTube.
Yeah... the very fact this is posted as a youtube video reinforces the point of how far we are from this. The issue is, the enshitified internet is not a technology problem... it's an education/people problem.
The internet will not be better until people are.
Oh it definatly is a technology problem though. There well never be a federated Youtube for instance. Think about that the storage that Google uses since videos are not really deleted, and the bandwidth to server that much video. It doens't really scale with federation.
Until there is. Someday someone will create a PeerTube plugin or some other piece of software that will tackle this. I'm thinking distributed storage, automatic mirroring to other instances when more bandwidth is needed for a popular video, voluntary storage donation from clients (got 10GB of expendable storage on your device? Donate it to the network), or something I can't even think of. There are so many possibilities in this space. I won't accept that it'll never be possible.
No, the logistic problem Google "solved" in making YouTube functional and free was born from a time when dumptrucks of VC money made it viable. It will never happen again, regardless of innovation.
This is not a technical problem, and in the case of the YT monopoly, it's beyond even a people problem. Google got the money, and google won. It will be very difficult to unseat them.
IPFS backend and some automated pinning system for Peertube would go a long way to me
