  • The next big thing is moving all of your servers to the cloud!

    The next big thing is moving all of your software to containers!

    The next big thing is moving all of your money to crypto!

    The next big thing is moving everything to AI!

    Yes we’re in ANOTHER tech gold rush. Not saying these things don’t have their place, but the tech industry is infatuated with the next big thing and burning through money and the ones that get burnt are the average working folks. Ask me how I know, currently in year two of a hiring and pay freeze as AWS isn’t as cheap as predicted… Who could have fucking guessed? They mean besides everyone but the CTO that’s fucking who!




















  • Owncast Stream whatever you want on your own platform and announce natively to the Fediverse!

    IDK why but tons of folks think it’s not feasible as they need million dollar computers. I’ve streamed to 70+ open streams, albeit as a test, on a like $5/month VPS. The key is that the resources needed are how many qualities you’re transcoding, not how many folks are viewing. Yes bandwidth is needed for each viewer, but that’s significantly less than people imagine.

    Full transparency I run the [email protected] community, but I’m in no way affiliated with the project. I just love open platforms and open source.
