I'm always curious to see if peertube is going to work but I have to admit it started immediately, said it had 9 seeders, and worked fine.
But I wonder how it works after a few weeks when it's not being HN'd and the author isn't seeding it.
- aaomidi 3y agoObviously then it won’t. It’s like asking how is a YouTube video going to work if YouTube the entity stops hosting it. Honestly, the peer tube method of storing media is actually kinda nice. Not everything needs to live forever, and it brings back a semblance of privacy. On the other hand of this, larger companies can pin smaller videos on other instances while supplementing with their own ad supported videos.
- INTPenis 3y agoCan you host seedboxes for peertube videos? Like using regular torrent clients, or does peertube have their own agent software for this?
- jeena 3y agoYou can follow other servers and help to spread the load. You can decide how much of your space you want to use for that and which strategy you want to use to cache other peoples servers (new videos, most watched, hot, etc.)
