Peertube is really cool in theory buy they are pushing torrent crap that displays the viewers public IP to all the other viewers and that is a major deal breaker for me.
I've never understood why they set it up this way instead of just letting you host the videos normally.
- BlueTemplar 7y agoWhy is displaying your public IP (prefix?) is an issue? If this bothers you, shouldn't you use a VPN ? What do you mean by "normally" ? Torrent is the normal way to host large files in a distributed manner!

- kick 7y agoWebTorrent has been able to be disabled for a while. It's useful in some cases, but if you want to run your own host without it, it's trivial.
