So many trees :o

I was just reading this issue on Github last night and I really don’t see how PeerTube is any better than a traditional server for hosting videos. The peer part of it seems to have such a miniscule impact on the whole thing that it just feels like a gimmick. I’ve read that the biggest problem for PeerTube instance hosts is storage and not the bandwidth. The only thing that peers can save you is tiny bit of bandwidth from what I understand.

So from what I’ve gathered, relying on peers only for hosting the video is completely unviable. And that makes sense, especially for old, unpopular videos, there will be no peers to begin with. Even if every video on the site is being “seeded” by viewers, the reliability of connection and bandwidth would be very bad because you can’t know if the peer is some guy on the dial up connection. Even in the perfect scenario where everyone had very reliable connection and good bandwidth, the fact that browsers don’t support p2p protocol and rely on a hack/workaround to use it, will mean that there will be delays. So starting the video and rewinding would be painfully slow.

Is there something that I’m missing, or is PeerTube really not that much better than a “normal” video hosting server?

That’s cool, I might try it on the phone myself :D

What actually reminded me of the original, is this game that I accidently stumbled upon while checking out the Steam summer sale today.

mpv player should be able to do it, if you install the script.

Might be easier/faster to find the video in lower quality to download?

Pro tip: Point the fan so that it blows outside and DO NOT put it directly on the window or right next to it. Instead, move it ~50cm away from the window to take advantage of Bernoulli’s principle (push the air out more efficiently by pulling the air surrounding the fan).

You can cool down the room even if the door is closed. You are lowering the pressure inside your room so the outside air is forced to rush in. If you place the fan like I explained, and point it at the lower part of your window and you put your hand next to the upper part of the window, you will feel the cold air coming in.

Fair enough. It’s nice to have something that just works out of the box and doesn’t need much configuration, for sure.
And even though most points you have mentioned are actually doable in OBS, they need additional setup/configuration or a plugin. But I personally don’t mind that, and in most cases I prefer that, especially granular configuration of video settings.

Why do you find OBS to be suboptimal? I never used OBS on Linux, is it not working well there?

Everything else requires effort.

Yeah it is visible, but much more subtle than on your original picture in the post.

Easier to see against the black background:

Maybe it’s just a temporary image retention? Was there something (bright or white) previously at that section of the screen? Like some app that you use often?

OLED burn-in maybe?

You can use the lockdown mode on Android, but you have to remember to turn it on.
