Really love how our Owncast site is looking (if I do say so myself) :)

Also, remember that you can set up Owncast on a VPS with the following Site.js command:

site enable --owncast

That’s it.

It’ll be up and running with automatic TSL certificates and everything. You just need to sign into the admin, change your password/stream key and maybe take a few moments to customise your site info :)

Small Is Beautiful

I’m delighted to announce that @gabek will be joining us this Thursday at 5PM Irish Time (UTC+1) to talk to us about Owncast, federation, and why we should be shipping software not code (https://gabekangas.com/blog/2022/06/ship-software-not-code/)

Mark your calendars.

The fediverse is federated so you can speak to anyone on any other instance. An instance of one means that you don’t have to moderate anyone else, just yourself.

Take that as a core tenet and you have the # (which doesn’t have to use ActivityPub but could interoperate with it if desired).

It’s not about not getting challenged. You can get challenged all you like (as anyone you haven’t blocked can reply and challenge you). And, as I said, no one is forced to listen to you either as anyone can block your account or the whole instance.

But what it does is correctly model personhood, which the “servers of many” model doesn’t.

It’s the small tech/web philosophy. Communities are made up of individuals. That’s what we model.

Only I’m not an admin. It’s an instance of one. The only person I’m administrating is me. (As it should be.)

PS. I’m the only person on my instance. It’s an instance of one.
