      Self-Hosting an ActivityPub Video Podcast Is Surprisingly Affordable

      2/

      A typical 1-hour podcast episode at 1080p 60 fps is around 5.4 GB.

      At one episode per week, that's about 280 GB per year.

      Even after 5 years, your entire podcast archive would only use about 1.4 TB of storage.

      That is it.

        A 2 TB hard drive is often available for around $50–$60, which is enough space for five years of weekly episodes.

        Need more room?

        4 TB, 8 TB, 12 TB, and even 16 TB drives are widely available and far more affordable than most people expect. (Ex: 8TB is about $130 to $170.)

          4/

          When you look at the actual storage requirements, self-hosting a video podcast on the Fediverse starts to look a lot less intimidating — and a lot more realistic.

          It is affordable — especially with your own HomeLab (where you buy your own hard drives rather than rent them).

            Imagine this.

            You want to launch your own video podcast.

            A new episode every week.
            Each episode is 1 hour long.
            Full HD (1080p), 60 fps video.

            What would it cost to host it yourself?

            Before I ran the numbers, I assumed it would be expensive — maybe even impractical.

            I was wrong.

            The reality is surprisingly affordable.

            Here is why.

                      I have seen the @Codeberg people say they don't want to be the only code-forge.

                      I.e., they don't wan to replace GitHub. They want there to be many code-forges out there, including them.

                      I agree with this goal.

                      But — I think until we (at least) have federated pull-requests, this is less likely to happen.

                      And, I do know that there is an effort to add ActivityPub support to Forgejo, Gitea, and others.

                        ActivityPub and ATmosphere

                        Now running both Activitypub and Atmosphere on my blog so it should be visible from Bluesky and Mastodon. In theory replies on both should be come comments visible on the blog post but there might be some weirdness. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                        I am now running both ActivityPub and ATmosphere plugins on this website now, each enabling the blog to be visible across both protocol types. For activity pub it should show to Mastodon / GotoSocial instances and ATmosphere will show to Bluesky (and possibly Threads but not sure). interestingly the plugins work in a slightly different way.

                        ActivityPub

                        ActivityPub is probably the more tightly integrated plugin, it doesn’t need another account to post through like ATmosphere. It does however currently need other plugins, friends and enable mastodon apps to give a total experience, for example being able to do non-blog posts and see others feeds in an app. I have found Phanpy to be the best solution for interacting with the ActivityPub plugin.

                        The closer integration does allow for some interesting blocks supplied for the plugin, for example a follow pane:

                        and also lists of followers and those I follow:

                        One of the tricker problems was there wasn’t a ‘profile’ page to point people at, in the same way as your mastodon profile. This has been added, you can see mine at here, although it still remains harder to follow from here than it would be through a traditional mastodon instance.

                        ATmosphere

                        The Atmosphere approach is slightly different as it posts through, and scrapes comments back from an ATmosphere PDS, for example Bluesky using the AT protocol. Mine is @mark.hysted.com. The outcome is basically the same, posts are sent out via my Bluesky profile and comments come back to be added in the blog post. This is a more recent plugin, only just released so there isn’t the blocks that ActivityPub has – but I expect those are in train.

                        What I’m not quite sure about

                        I’m not sure how this all works together, are comments made on Bluesky federated to Mastodon and can those be replied to? Am I causing chaos across the two approaches and also creating a burden on my WordPress site that will mean a performance upgrade? Feel free to add replies and test how things work between the two different plugins and ecosystems. Also shout if you see any weirdness!

                        PS – Most of my recent blog posts seem to be about blogging, I promise this will be the last for a while.

                                      Multi-device support is progressing well for . The tricky part: each device runs its own server, with its own local data, signing its own activities. Keeping several servers in sync both ways, without duplicating everything, without losing actions on the way, and without two of them handling the same activity at the same time, was the main problem to solve. It also had to stay reliable when a device goes offline for hours or days.

                                          The Fediverse is so cool. The interoperability of ActivityPub rewards you from browsing other instances, creating server-side and personal connections differently from how we were taught to browse the social web.
                                          At the moment I'm trying to figure out the most optimal way share content around the Fediverse, from Peertube to Mastodon in particular. How it works is kind of weird.

                                              Every social network has been given its fediverse clone. Asking people to hold a separate account on each is taking the problem backwards.
                                              If the fediverse keeps mirroring the GAFAM, it loses. The point was never to rebuild their world, but to offer something else: one identity across every content.
                                              HolosSocial is simply a try. But we can do it.

                                                FEP-fe34 (Origin-based security model) update : https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/849

                                                I tried to better explain the assumptions on which the model is based, and clarified how exactly origins should enforce boundaries between actors:

                                                Servers MUST ensure that activities published by a client do not represent unauthorized actions. This includes activities embedded within other activities and objects.

                                                Servers MUST NOT allow clients to publish activities where embedded objects are owned by another actor.

                                                Lemmy API and Mastodon API implementers don't have to worry about this, but one needs to be very careful when accepting arbitrary payloads from clients, for example, when implementing ActivityPub C2S API or FEP-ae97 API. Unfortunately, these security issues are completely ignored by people who push for wide deployment of ActivityPub C2S API.

                                                Another addition is the recommendation to not use partially embedded objects, because that might lead to cache poisoning:

                                                Embedded non-anonymous objects SHOULD NOT be partial representations. A server that relies on embedding for authentication might save a partial representation of an object to the cache, replacing the full object.

                                                (see this issue for details: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/feps/issues/21)

                                                        I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.78 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                                                        Hashtag following also allow URLs to RSS feeds of ActivityPub objects (like e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/ThankYouTuesday).

                                                        Users can now configure a webhook to receive an HTTP POST for every notification. This can be useful for implementing bots that react to activities, like autorepliers, chatbots or interactive textual games (see snac(1) for more information).

                                                        The number of pending follow confirmations is shown next to the "people" link.

                                                        Faster performance metrics (contributed by dandelions).

                                                        Improved lowercasing in hashtags (contributed by postscriptum).

                                                        A search-by-url tweak for implementations that return 200 for invalid webfinger queries (e.g. piefed).

                                                        Mastodon API: added follow confirmation endpoints, fixed collisions in attachment file names.

                                                        Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.

                                                          I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.70 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                                                          Notifications are now shown in a more compact way (i.e. all reactions are shown just above your post, instead of repeating the post ad nauseam for every reaction).

                                                          New command-line option unmute to, well, no-longer-mute an actor.

                                                          The private timeline now includes an approximate mark between new posts and "already seen" ones.

                                                          Fixed a spurious 404 error in the instance root URL for some configurations.
