CYBERPUNK ETHIC: INFORMATION WANTS TO BE FREE

Merry merry Christmas fediland

Merry Christmas!

Me to people who return to Mastodon whenever Twitter fucks up somehow

Back in 1995 I sent an online friend a photo of a ferret plush "using" my computer.

And she sent me back the same thing.

Back then you had to take a photo on film, get it developed, and physically mail it. So this meant a lot more than it would now.

IT WAS SO CUTE DAMNIT.

Holy moly, Owncast is really taking off with the 0.0.3 release!

Almost 1000 stars in a single day for https://github.com/owncast/owncast 🙊

Hackernews front page, #1 on several sub-reddits: r/selfhosted, r/golang, ... awesome stuff!

Someone even started streaming public domain movies 24/7 on their Owncast instance: https://movies.shiftpop.com/

@nemo I think we need to convince exam boards such as https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edsq/entry-level-and-level-1-in-eds.html who run basic skills courses to include proper mention of the fediverse, they mention Linux at least in the latest draft spec. I am trying to get in touch to correct that to GNU / Linux.

🎉 Owncast 0.0.3 is out! 🎉

This is pretty amazing! An open-source video streaming service that comes with batteries included: live chat, adaptive bitrate streaming, an admin interface.

Think of it as a self-hosted Twitch alternative!
