That YouTube strike for Jeff geerling scares me... Twice in 6 months? For just mentioning libreelec?
We are all being driven underground by the profiteers who are ruining what was at one time a great free platform. I hope we find a way to keep our freedoms alive.
Fuck the yt police, and fuck their moms.
I don't deal with YT much unless it's just the only place I can find a certain tutorial I need. I used to have music videos up on YT but it became such an anchor to drag around. I do have some on PeerTube with very low traffic. The problem I see is that there is no real 'easy' way for users to find content they desire on PeerTube and similar venues. Even places like BandCamp which has been around forever, content creators find it difficult to get their content to the masses. MP3.com made a decent go at the market, but when the dust settled, it collapsed. So until someone comes up with a more attractive, publicized venue, YT can and will continue to be assholes. In the meantime, I don't see places like PeerTube being a threat to YT. Casual consumers of content will always choose the easy path, and I can understand that. I did see that PeerTube is coming up with a different(?) mobile app. I hope it's a bit more polished than the current one.
Pangolin continues to deliver wildly useful features.

That happens on my RSS reader, I haven't looked into it too deeply but I'm assuming he's using JavaScript to populate the entries and are thus not being populated on none dowser clients
Great to read the story from Adventure Log's author. I just installed that app and I'm looking forward to trying to help improve it.
