Very true!

Do you have solar setup or is it direct connect within the house?

I hope at some point, both will do interop. Its causing a bit of a splintering of the community…which really doesnt need to happen (mostly on discord and reddit from what I have been seeing). We are so small to begin with. And its not the devs doing it, it seems to be the community themselves. Which is again unfortunate.

Its like a worse pager system. But it does not use the internet or anything centralized. It makes it look like texting on apps.

First time Ive heard about Milk-V Duo S. Interesting. Looks very cheap!

will do! Thanks again!

Piped.chrisco.me

I removed a couple. Mostly porn. I dont really need that for the family. But that was 2 servers out of hundreds.

So!! I went from 60 instances to over 900 in the span of less than 24 hours! Also most of the content is pretty good. So thats nice.

Hell yeah! Thats an awesome setup.

no rush! thanks.

Also if you want to add my little instance and see more dog videos: https://piped.chrisco.me/c/teddy_the_dog/videos feel free to add

https://piped.chrisco.me/

to the list

So im not seeing the option for “Automatically follow platforms of a public index” after federation.

I believe(?) I found it under Settings->Configuration->Basic:

Automatically follow instances of a public index
⚠️ This functionality requires a lot of attention and extra moderation.
See the documentation for more information about the expected URL

Im going to replace the main https://instances.joinpeertube.org/ with your index and see what happens.

Ill give it a shot and let you know how it goes!

Or make your own. We are pretty flexable.

Arch will probably have something that is plug and play to remove haha.

Other states are going to have the same kind of laws…and some go farther than Cali is going to right now: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/many-more-us-states-are-planning-or-already-have-operating-system-age-verification-laws/

This is just the latest.

so now we may have a forked/pirate linux distros because people dont want to be age restricted and phone home.

You can try the about us and contact us page on

Ive only seen this where the actual video file got removed on the server. But im not sure.

That channel is fun btw!

Looking forward to the new book! DCC 😁

Interesting, I can comment on piefed (just did a test) to the comment above. But I get a new tab when I try to see the proxy link.

Nice!
