I'm Veronica! I love Linux, old computer hardware, and explaining things.

Some folks call me the Linux Mom, and that works for me. I'm a former "legacy systems" sysadmin who's posting fun content about cool things you can do with Linux, as well as some fun retro tech stuff I come across!

Sorry for the terrible photo, I can only upload 1 so I had to mash all these screenshots together somehow.

If you're not familiar with GrayJay, it's a cross-platform video app. You can watch and search videos from YouTube (YMMV if you use a VPN), Odyssey, Bitchute, Nebula, Kick, Twitch, pretty much anything you can imagine, and aggregates all your subscriptions and searches into 1 cross-platform feed. And if it's not on there you can create your own plugin. There's a repository here.

PeerTube has been supported since day 1 but previously you could only view videos from the instance you added, so you had to add them all individually. It was updated recently and seems to not be tied to any instances at all. You can view comments but it doesn't seem to support login right now so you won't be able to "like" or leave comments. I've asked them to add this functionality.

For PeerTube you'll probably have to go into the sources and enable it. You'll probably also want to enable SepiaSearch at the bottom (this searches across instances, for those who have opted into search).

I don't really know how to explain the monetization model. There's a $10 lifetime license fee. They're adamant that it's not free (as in beer) but if you don't pay for the license, nothing happens 🤷‍♂️ I paid for it because it's awesome.

You can download from F-Droid (using FUTO repository) or direct from grayjay.app (the app updates itself).

There's also a desktop version, and your license works for both. Although the desktop version is really nice, it's not yet as polished as the mobile one. It also supports syncing your data over your local network.

Source code here

Enjoy!

peertube.wtf showing the “502 Bad Gateway” error message again just to let you guys know

Found this today, included features that I saw:

• Redirecting from YouTube if the video is also found on PeerTube
• Redirecting to your own instance, when clicking on a video link for a PeerTube video on another instance

Very useful, especially considering you will always get a link to your own instance when using the share function, which isn't ideal for anyone not on your instance.

If you know any other cool tools and addons for PeerTube, feel free to add them here.

EDIT: Yupp, I was just a bit impatient, took a few days but they are indexed properly now. I was confused because other videos that were just hours old were already in the index - but that didn't mean that mine were skipped of course.

So, I've started migrating my old YT content to a Peertube profile on peertube.wtf, you can find it here: https://peertube.wtf/a/wxnzxn

It's not any kind of high-stakes content, mostly old German YouTube Poops from the early 2010s when I was a different person. So I am not all that disappointed that I can't find my own content - but I am confused as to why it doesn't show up.

When I check https://sepiasearch.org/ and look at the instances in their index, Peertube.wtf shows up as available and in the index

But trying to find any of my videos returns no results, even for my amateur game trailer I uploaded days ago - so I doubt it's because of some kind "just wait a bit longer" issue.

Is there something missing? Could it be, that the instance has been (shadow)banned and removed from the index?

Here's hoping it's not at a bad time and can be resolved soon.

A bit OT, but somewhat related: I read on the info page, that it's possible ways to donate to contribute to server costs may happen eventually. Just planting the idea that I would happily give a small amount on liberapay regularily, to honour the work (and money) needed to keep the instance running :)

I have this error:

"Due to an unknown issue, the server occasionally crashes and you will see a "gateway error". I have to restart the server manually when that happens. Trying to figure out a solution and have bought new hardware for replacement."

Let us know if we can help in some way!

Hi :​) I’m Lily (she/they), a musician, artist and tech nerd. I mainly make 8-bit NES/FamiTracker arrangements of nostalgic game soundtracks from my childhood like DPPt, PMD2 and HGSS (but also other types of music).

Lily has a few different channels covering music, gaming, tech and other awesome stuff!

I'm Nick, and I like to tinker with Linux stuff. I'll bumble through distro reviews, tutorials, and general helpful tidbits and impressions on Linux desktop environments, applications, and news.

You might see a bit of Linux gaming here and there, and some more personal opinion pieces, but in the end, it's more or less all about Linux and FOSS !

You probably know Nick from YouTube, but did you know that he also posts his videos on PeerTube? Yes, that's right!

If you are or is looking into becoming a PeerTube administrator, I will recommend watching this series by @[email protected].
