  • So you’re a power user? Case in point, you’d be better for Fedora.

    Also my second distro was mint, after 3+ years of the old hdd’s non-use, I pulled it out last year when my install of some OS broke, updated it to zero issues (I was curious), used the software for a bit, all was good.

    3 years without an update to zero issues.

    Haven’t seen any issue with Mint updates yet like I’ve fought in Fedora














  • Why would we be negotiating for that??? There is no point in range anymore.

    Instead, we’ll be negotiating for shipping rights to grade B Chinese ghost city apartments & skyscrapers to bring to the USA on the cheap!!!

    They have a lessened property crisis, we have more housing for cheap that wasn’t built by our evil & corrupt government lol, everyone wins!!!

    Likely though we’d just end up negotiating the removal of nuclear weapons over a final arrangement for Taiwan’s independence or some variation of subservience (think China’s 9 points plan 1981 but with more brexit North Ireland vibes), fentanyl precursors to Mexico, and a potential final arrangement for the Korean peninsula’s path to unification, boo






  • Iirc, uploading videos really isn’t an issue.

    You find the video you want to upload, choose a thumbnail, choose like 5 tags (because like the federation that’s the main way you find stuff), potentially choose a language, then place down like 0.01 lbry credits or so for it to be uploaded to the block chain & the bittorrent network/lbry’s servers themselves.

    FFmpeg is used to convert the video to a more friendly formatting on the client itself right before sending & boom, video is up.


  • I ran a lbry seeder a few months ago to practice devops & data science.

    The lbry crypto is used to hold links to every bit of content uploaded into the network, boosting content on the platform, enforcing channel names, creating paywalls for certain content on the platform, & tipping creators.

    The blockchain network’s primary goal is to hold a long list of in network links that correspond to content stored on individual computers, so when you put in for example lbry://fireship#f/Java_for_haters or something like that, iirc (I’m not near my PC rn), the request goes to delegation servers which query the block chain, return the video link and then call devices on the BitTorrent lower network to send over the requested blobs.

    I may be wrong on if the delegation server or the block chain is queried first, but that is basically how it works.

    As for moderation/censorship, this is done on a web server built with the lbry apis delivering the videos to the client. You basically can Blocklist individual links or entire domains per se in the bc network so they will not appear on your stuff. This is how they get rid of copyright infringing stuff. Use a different client & change the moderation server and you will see videos odysee.com blocked. I believe you can setup a whitelist too.

    Finally, I don’t think comments are actually built into the library protocol itself but are still managed in house by lbry/odysee inc itself. Would have to look deeper into this one, but it wasn’t baked in last time I checked.

    The lack of moderation isn’t due to the lbry protocol, it’s the deliberate decision of the lbry team to avoid doing anything as much as possible to show a contrast to YouTube.
