  • The next big thing is moving all of your servers to the cloud!

    The next big thing is moving all of your software to containers!

    The next big thing is moving all of your money to crypto!

    The next big thing is moving everything to AI!

    Yes we’re in ANOTHER tech gold rush. Not saying these things don’t have their place, but the tech industry is infatuated with the next big thing and burning through money and the ones that get burnt are the average working folks. Ask me how I know, currently in year two of a hiring and pay freeze as AWS isn’t as cheap as predicted… Who could have fucking guessed? They mean besides everyone but the CTO that’s fucking who!




  • Their design was more mobile type wherr you don’t minimize windows, you just switch between them or between spaces. I’ve used Gnome forever, including the rough times on Gnome 3.0, and I’ve always used a system tray as well. Never liked leaving clutter everywhere and imo it goes against the minimal design. But thankfully easily extendible.






  • I’m just spreading the word.

    Have you used it? Have you looked at the docs? You can use a S3 bucket to handle distribution, though I’ve never done it. Nor am I going to theorize what will or won’t work.

    People didn’t think the Fediverse wouldn’t work yet here we are.

    As for any number of video software, I’d love to know. I enjoy tech. Owncast works seamlessly with the Fediverse and OBS. I get to control my platform and it’s what I know so I use it. If there is better out there, I don’t know what I don’t know.

    And lastly I personally enjoy the small internet. And I’m assuming folks here do as well, hence why we’re all here. Plenty of other platforms that work better.


  • Do you have millions of viewers? With beefy enough hardware I’d assume you could, but not even the biggest streamers on Twitch stream to millions of viewers at a time. But that’s just gaming. I know that Owncast is leveraged by all kinds of folks for different purposes. Some churches use it to broadcast to their congregation, some weddings have done it, funerals, radios, local public access channels, etc.

    I personally have a VPS on Hetzner, not sure about others. Obviously hosting is the thing. But I run a VPS for like $8/month, again on Hetzner, and I’ve done small live streams to about 15 people without much issue.














  • You’ve made a directory path literally called

    /media/lucky/New Volume

    ?

    That REALLY doesn’t seem like a good idea considering that *'s are wildcards for anything, and Linux isn’t really fond of spaces.

    The error basically tells you that you have an error on line 18, which I’m assuming is this line you’re stating and that it’s ignored that line so that it can still go on and mount other things.

    Most likely you’d want something like:

    # mkdir /media/lucky/NewVol

    and then your fstab would be:

    UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/NewVol ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

    Also do you have a lib or something for linux to handle NTFS file system types? I haven’t run Windows in 17 years now, so I don’t have a clue if Linux can natively handle NTFS.

    You can also run:

    # lsblk

    or

    # blkid

    to get the storage information and verify the storage UUID is correct.
