I had a couple of people complain that hosting videos on #PeerTube is bad with vague complaints about buffering issues. I can’t reproduce it.
Maybe some browsers don’t handle it well?
https://tube.pompat.us is my instance.
I need to host videos to support our #RDUMesh #MeshCore #MutualAid content and philosophically PeerTube feels like a better choice than YouTube. But is it watchable?

Suggestions? I have a bunch of services hosted at one cloud provider. They do not work well under #kubernetes, so they are hosted individually on small virtual machines (1 CPU, 1-2 GiB memory).
I'm moving to another cloud provider, #Scaleway, who doesn't provide that small instances and (obviously) larger instances are more expensive. Also, Scaleway is charging quite a bit for public IPv4 addresses, so I'd either have to put them behind NAT (I already have that set up) or consolidate to reduce IP address use.
What do?
I could either eat the cost, host multiple services on a single VM, or set up another layer of virtualization to split out the machines, but neither option is particularly nice. Am I overlooking something obvious?
The applications are #Pleroma (really #Akkoma), #Ghost, and #Peertube. Pleroma is written in Erlang, so it's not really possible to build Docker images for it. Last I looked, Peertube didn't have nice Docker images. Ghost does have a beta Dockerized version, so while I don't want to deal with that right now, I can just eat the cost for that temporarily.
I've already picked a cloud provider, so using another one is not an option, and Scaleway's Stardust instances are not an option as you can only have one of those per region.

Fedivizatos supratimas: kaip ActivityPub keičia socialinius tinklus
Pastaraisiais metais, diskutuojant apie alternatyvius socialinius tinklus, vis dažniau girdimas naujas terminas – Fedivisata (angl. Fediverse). Bet kas tai yra iš tikrųjų? Kaip veikia jos pagrindinis protokolas ActivityPub ir kokios platformos jai priklauso?
Kas yra Fedivisata?
Žodis „Fedivisata“ yra sudarytas iš dviejų žodžių: federacija ir visata. Tai nepriklausomų serverių (vadinamų instancijomis) tinklas, kuriame serveriai gali susikalbėti tarpusavyje.
Priešingai nei tradiciniai socialiniai tinklai, tokie kaip „Facebook“ ar „X“ (Twitter), kurie yra kontroliuojami centralizuotai, Fedivizata yra decentralizuota:
- Kiekvienas gali paleisti savo serverį.
- Kiekviena instancija turi savo taisykles ir moderavimo politiką.
- Vartotojai gali bendrauti tarpusavyje, net jei jų paskyros yra skirtinguose serveriuose.Rezultatas – atvira ekosistema, o ne viena uždara platforma.### Šerdis: kaip veikia ActivityPubActivityPub yra atviras standartas (sukurtas W3C), kuris apibrėžia, kaip Fedivizatos serveriai bendrauja tarpusavyje. Iš esmės ActivityPub remiasi dviem pagrindinėmis sąvokomis:#### 1. Aktorius (Actors)Kiekvienas vartotojas, grupė ar net botas yra laikomas „aktoriumi“.Pavyzdys: @vartotojas@serveris.lt#### 2. Veiksmai (Activities)Viskas, kas vyksta tinkle, aprašoma kaip veiksmas:
- Įrašo kūrimas → Create
- Sekimas → Follow
- Turinio mėgimas → Like
- Dalinimasis turiniu → Announce### Paprastas pavyzdysĮsivaizduokite, kad esate Serveryje A ir pradedate sekti ką nors Serveryje B:
- Jūs paspaudžiate „Sekti“.
- Serveris A nusiunčia „Follow“ užklausą Serveriui B.
- Serveris B patvirtina užklausą.
- Nauji įrašai automatiškai pristatomi į Serverį A.Visa tai vyksta naudojant HTTP ir JSON – panašiai kaip šiuolaikinės žiniatinklio API.#### „Inbox“ ir „Outbox“ modelisActivityPub naudoja aiškią komunikacijos struktūrą:
- Outbox (Išsiųstieji): Čia vartotojas siunčia savo veiksmus.
- Inbox (Gautieji): Čia vartotojas gauna veiksmus iš kitų.Kiekvienas serveris valdo šias „dėžutes“ ir paskirsto turinį kitiems serveriams.### ActivityPub privalumai
- Decentralizacija: Nėra vieno kontrolės taško.
- Suderinamumas: Skirtingos platformos gali veikti išvien.
- Vartotojo autonomija: Jūs patys renkatės savo serverį (ir jo taisykles).
- Atsparumas: Nėra vieno „išjungimo mygtuko“ – tinklas veikia, kol veikia bent vienas serveris.### Populiarios Fedivizatos platformosFedivisata nėra viena platforma, tai daugybė susijungusių tinklų:
- 🐘 Mastodon – mikrotinklaraščiai (panašu į „Twitter“ / „X“). Žinomiausia dalis.
- 📷 Pixelfed – orientuota į vaizdus („Instagram“ alternatyva).
- 🎥 PeerTube – decentralizuotas video turinis („YouTube“ alternatyva).
- ✍️ WriteFreely – tinklaraščių platforma.
- 💬 Lemmy – nuorodų agregatorius (panašu į „Reddit“).
- 🎵 Funkwhale – muzikos srautinis siuntimas.### Kodėl Fedivizata svarbi dabar?Daugybė vartotojų ieško alternatyvų didžiosioms platformoms dėl:
- Privatumo problemų.
- Algoritminės kontrolės (kai ne tu, o mašina sprendžia, ką matysi).
- Turinio komercializacijos (reklamų pertekliaus).Fedivisata siūlo kitokį požiūrį: atvirą, bendruomenės valdomą ir nepriklausomą erdvę.### IššūkiaiNepaisant potencialo, Fedivisata turi ir iššūkių:
- Naujiems vartotojams reikia laiko perprasti veikimo principus.
- Skirtingi moderavimo standartai įvairiose instancijose.
- Kartais fragmentuota vartotojo patirtis.### IšvadaFedivisata yra daugiau nei tik alternatyva esamiems tinklams – tai esminis pokytis mąstant apie internetinę komunikaciją. Naudodama ActivityPub protokolą kaip pamatą, ji įgalina atvirą tinklą, kuriame kontrolė ir įvairovė grįžta į vartotojų rankas.Žymos:#Fedivisata #Fediverse #ActivityPub #Decentralizacija #AtvirasWeb #SocialiniaiTinklai #Lietuva #SkaitmeninisSuverenitetas #OpenSource #Mastodon #Pixelfed #PeerTube #Lemmy #Privatumas #InternetoKultūra

Understanding the Fediverse: How ActivityPub is Reshaping Social Media
In recent years, a new term has been gaining attention in discussions about alternative social networks: the Fediverse. But what exactly is it? How does the underlying protocol ActivityPub work—and which platforms are part of it?
What is the Fediverse?
The word Fediverse is a combination of federation and universe. It refers to a network of independent servers (called instances) that can communicate with each other.
Unlike traditional social networks like Facebook or X (Twitter), which are centrally controlled, the Fediverse is decentralized:
Anyone can run their own server
Each instance has its own rules and moderation
Users can interact across different servers
The result is an open ecosystem instead of a single platform.
The Core: How ActivityPub Works
ActivityPub is an open standard (developed by the W3C) that defines how servers in the Fediverse communicate with each other.
At its core, ActivityPub is built around two main concepts:
1. Actors
Every user, group, or even bot is considered an actor.
Example:
@user@server.com
2. Activities
Everything that happens is described as an activity:
Creating a post → Create
Following someone → Follow
Liking content → Like
Sharing content → Announce
A Simple Example
Imagine you are on Server A and follow someone on Server B:
You click “Follow”
Server A sends a Follow request to Server B
Server B confirms the request
New posts are automatically delivered to Server A
All of this happens via HTTP and JSON—similar to modern web APIs.
The Inbox & Outbox Model
ActivityPub uses a clear communication structure:
Outbox: Where a user sends activities
Inbox: Where a user receives activities
Each server manages these and distributes content to other servers.
Benefits of ActivityPub
Decentralization: No single point of control
Interoperability: Different platforms can work together
User autonomy: You choose your server
Resilience: No single point of failure
Popular Platforms in the Fediverse
The Fediverse is not one platform, but many interconnected ones:
🐘 Mastodon
Microblogging (similar to Twitter/X)
The most well-known Fediverse platform
📷 Pixelfed
Image-focused (Instagram alternative)
🎥 PeerTube
Decentralized video hosting (YouTube alternative)
✍️ WriteFreely
Blogging platform
💬 Lemmy
Link aggregation (similar to Reddit)
🎵 Funkwhale
Music streaming in the Fediverse
Why the Fediverse Matters Now
Many users are looking for alternatives to big platforms due to:
Privacy concerns
Algorithmic control
Commercialization of content
The Fediverse offers a different approach: open, community-driven, and independent.
Challenges
Despite its potential, the Fediverse also comes with challenges:
A learning curve for new users
Different moderation standards across instances
A sometimes fragmented user experience
Conclusion
The Fediverse is more than just an alternative to existing social networks—it represents a fundamental shift in how we think about online communication.
With ActivityPub as its foundation, it enables an open network that puts control and diversity back into the hands of users.
