<p>Hi, list!</p>
<p>Just so you know, there's a new solution in town for producers
who want to showcase their work: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://joinpeertube.org">Peertube</a>.</p>
It's a FLOSS initiative from <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube">a guy on Github</a>
(quickly backed up by Framasoft, a non-profit already <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://degooglisons-internet.org/liste">quite active on
that front</a>) who wanted to build a decentralized video hosting
platform by leveraging the brand new web torrent uh, <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://webrtc.org">protocol</a>.
Right now it's in beta, and boy it really is, please don't tell me
you have troubles playing <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://exode.me/videos/search?search=yphil">my videos</a>,
I kinda know.<br>
Also I do understand that mp4 is not entirely free, and the boys
seem to know about that.<br>
<p>To test it, just create an account on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://instances.joinpeertube.org">any instance that
allows it</a>, and start uploading your videos ; they'll be
available on all federated instances. Exactly how that works is
still quite a mystery to me ; After that they're supposed to be
partially streamed from the hard drives of people that have the
file in their browser's cache. Or something like that.<br>
</p>
<p>The thing is, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://peertube.video/videos/watch/fed67262-6edb-4d1c-833b-daa9085c71d7">My
video "No Sister"</a> is the <b>25th in the list of the most
played videos</b> on <i>all</i> federated instances!! Can you
believe that?<br>
</p>
<p>See, on Youtube we're nothing, but here, we can exist! Into the
little smelly shop that's just set up in front of the big
obnoxious mall, we can expect a reasonable amount of exposure and
visibility :) Another reason why I'm telling you guys that is
because I simply find there's not enough good music on there. I
mean, the best music you can find is mine, and that can't be good
;) My next album is going to be released exclusively on Peertube.<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p><br>

<p>PS - That works for <a moz-do-not-send="true"

videos</a> and stuff, too :)<br>
