Sure they could, but you are a a bit more anonymous and don’t keeps logs, then there may be nothing to hand over.
Hosting your own vps directly ties internet traffic to you. They can see your ip is part of a swarm and see who owns it. If it’s owned by some guy, they can press you. If it’s owned by a company with a legal team, it’s much more difficult.
I was going to play around with it, but it wasn’t part of the standard ffmpeg and I would need special build flags to use it.
That’s above my understanding, so I didn’t move forward.
I’ll have to check to see if it can be done at this time.
Didn’t Linus tech tips do a video on this and find that water cooling doesn’t make much if any difference.
I agree that compression has advanced steadily. I’m really referring to a break though. Something that gets 1080 videos down to 100mb.
But more realistically, I think storage is where we need to look. If I can get a 100tb ssd for not too much, then I can more realistically host a video library.
Bandwidth can be paid for, it’s fast enough. It’s just that the companies charge a ton for faster speeds.
I’ll admit that those features are useful, but it’s not enough for me to switch to chrome and give Google more control over the web.
It’s like giving up the house to play with some toys.
Video is hard because it requires a lot of space and bandwidth. We really need a storage and/or compression breakthrough.
We also need the internet providers to stop being so stingy with network speeds and bandwidth limits.
Imagine, 100 people trying to load a video from your single hard drive, it’s not fast enough for that. It’s not like a picture where the entire thing can be sent at once. So, it will require a decent tech upgrade across the board before that can be federated successfully.
A large creator could do something like that and invest money into it, but it will still really be controlled by a small group of people.
Peertube, but it’s not great yet. I’ve not tried to use it for a few years, so maybe it’s gotten better.
At least 2-3 times I would get an entire K-pop music video as an ad.
Sure I can be skipped, but it will play when I’m in the shower listening to a podcast.
I don’t speak Korean or listen to kpop, so it’s weird it’s being advertised to me as I’m not the target audience.
I’ve used it very briefly and had no problems.
Honestly, the differences between browsers performance is almost nothing. I’ve been a long time Firefox user and only ever encountered a compatibility issue once, but that was on a 3rd world countries government webpage for a small neighborhood.
It was more likely that it was a bug.
It’s not too difficult to setup, but I think people don’t realize that even if your not breaking the law, you may still have to deal with charges and going to court for years before your found innocent. All while dealing with the stress of a jury possibly finding you guilty.
Then you have prosecutors offering plea deals, so then you think do I stand my ground and risk X years in jail? Or do I plead guilty and just go to jail for 2 years?
So what if the vps hands your data to the feds and the feds are like hey, why was your vps torrenting Paul blart mall cop 2?
What do you say to that?
That’s my only concern with hosting my own vps.
Just give Lemmy gold.
