Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000

(and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger).

We are seeing:

Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!

    You could upload the files to a S3 bucket, which would give them a url on the web. Then just make a PieFed post which links to each MP4 file.

    Piefed will detect that it’s a video post and embed it in the page with player controls. If you use a community just for your videos then the RSS feed of that community will effectively be a podcast.

    S3 buckets are pretty cheap but 30 tb is still going to cost you. Transcode to a smaller file before upload, ideally.

      thanks for that. i’m currently saving up for more drives to create the second copy of the 1-2-3 backup scheme. the gang of 2tb ssd’s are all i’ve got aside from the compressed-to-fuck youtube copies. that’s been creating quite a bit of anxiety for me being in charge of so many other peoples artworks.

      we started in 2020 and do 6-10 90 minute shows a week, so it’s a lot to be responsible for. of course they aren’t all gems, but imo they all do deserve to be part of the larger document of this time and place.

      if anyone is interested the youtube videos are made searchable on https://www.livefromnorfolkstreet.com/

      click on the ARCHIVE link in the nav bar. no paywall.

      i’d recommend the alejandro escovedo shows. he’s always great and i did the live lights for a few of his shows.
