I am a guy from southern germany. I like scouting, trains and computers. Politically, I would consider myself as a democratic socialist.
(For anyone wondering, yes this is from the same guy, as !DeckPacker@piefed.blahaj.zone)

    Yeah, it literally does everything OP described.

    It reduces the servers cost massively by having a video player, that simultaneously uploads the stream p2p to other peers. So theoretically, the server only needs to stream every video to one or two peers at once, regardless of how many people watch it.

    And storage cost is reduced by the federation, so every instance can only host a small selection of videos and share it to the larger network.

    I tested mine involuntarily. I enabled full disk encryption on my the main drive of my server, ignored all the warnings and then noticed, that the whole drive was formatted.

    Luckily, all the important data was in my backups, I lost some compose files and the database of my paperless ngx seems to be broken (although theoretically, I am sure I could recover that data, I just don’t have that time and there is nothing that important on there).
