I just like to think they're friends or brother and sister personally. 😁

Do you have millions of viewers? With beefy enough hardware I'd assume you could, but not even the biggest streamers on Twitch stream to millions of viewers at a time. But that's just gaming. I know that Owncast is leveraged by all kinds of folks for different purposes. Some churches use it to broadcast to their congregation, some weddings have done it, funerals, radios, local public access channels, etc.

I personally have a VPS on Hetzner, not sure about others. Obviously hosting is the thing. But I run a VPS for like $8/month, again on Hetzner, and I've done small live streams to about 15 people without much issue.

Owncast is a free and open source self hosted live streaming platform. Basically think of Twitch or YouTube Livestreams on your own hardware.

Thanks for posting. Just signed up to the list. I have my own GoToSocial, but I'd still love to check out Mozilla's Mastodon.

This is literally the self-hosted community. I'm talking about self-hosted livestreaming platform. If you want to call it a blog + video, ok sure. Everything is basically a rehash of everything else. Just trying to share some self-hosted information. And I'm not the dev of Owncast or anything, just someone trying to make others aware of self-hosting software.

I'm not understanding what you're stating. Me streaming a video game isn't blogging. If you mean that there isn't a list of folks all streaming, well there's https://directory.owncast.com to find folks. If you mean only you can stream to it, well that's not true as you can set up multiple stream keys and allow others to stream to it as well. So I'm really not understanding what you're stating.

Nope. Full self hosted livestreaming. I personally use it to stream games. I started a communit at !owncast/lemmy.world and I've listed a few different streams. Some folks game, classic movies, music, etc. It's your own self hosted Twitch or YT streaming, etc.

You CAN use OBS! I've started an Owncast community at !owncast@lemmy.world if you'd like to check it out. If you're used to streaming to YT or Twitch or anything else, OBS is 100% the same, you just pointed it to your Owncast server. Obviously setting up the server is more work, but GabeK has made installation and configuration as easy as possible. It's pretty awesome imo.

Awesome! TY! Who couldn't use more lettuce eating lettuce in their life?

Now all we need is some fruit cannibalism and we'll have a well rounded meal! :-D

Brilliant! Thank you so much for the recommendation! :-)

And already I've learned about referencing communities in Lemmy, thank you Mr. Lemmy bot, whoever you are.

And thank you to folks for helping me realize that I don't have a clue how to create a post. URL OR Picture. Not both. :-D

This blog actually prompted me to set up a lemmy community !owncast@lemmy.world and I shared the blog there and just saw your post as well. :-D

I <3 the #fediverse and #owncast is such an amazing piece of it. Let's take back the internet!

!owncast@lemmy.world

Lol love it!

lol that'd be incredible! Something USEFUL for AI to do before it conquers us all like a Klingon!

That's AWESOME. lol love it! Thanks for sharing!

But you have a space in there. I don't know how spaces are handled in fstab. You'll either need to quote it or at least escape the space:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 '/media/lucky/New Volume' ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

OR

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\ Volume ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

The space is absolutely an issue in fstab as it's thinking "Volume" is the filesystem type and ntfs goes into your options, etc.

You've made a directory path literally called

/media/lucky/New Volume

?

That REALLY doesn't seem like a good idea considering that *'s are wildcards for anything, and Linux isn't really fond of spaces.

The error basically tells you that you have an error on line 18, which I'm assuming is this line you're stating and that it's ignored that line so that it can still go on and mount other things.

Most likely you'd want something like:

# mkdir /media/lucky/NewVol

and then your fstab would be:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/NewVol ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

Also do you have a lib or something for linux to handle NTFS file system types? I haven't run Windows in 17 years now, so I don't have a clue if Linux can natively handle NTFS.

You can also run:

# lsblk

or

# blkid

to get the storage information and verify the storage UUID is correct.
