Wrong place to post this.
So, I’ve uploaded some videos on peertube.wtf and I can’t see how large each one is, nor can I sort them. I want to be able to delete large videos if I run out of total quota. This is on version 8.0.1

I do think a video quota is a good idea, and PeerTube has two quotas, your daily limit, and total limit.

The total limit will fill up eventually if the account is active, and I think a way to see the largest videos you have on your account would help a ton.
This is my first PeerTube experience, the site is slow when browsing content, but it works. Peertube.wtf is federated with over 1,531 other platforms, so content is coming from a wide range of places.

The quota given is quite generous, You get a daily upload limit of 10GB and a total limit of 100GB. For someone’s computer space, that’s quite generous.
One thing I don’t like is that the subscriptions feed takes like 30 seconds to load before telling me I have no subscriptions.
You can get a rough idea of how big each video is via an activitypub query for each video. For example:
curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' https://peertube.wtf/w/mhghLtY5dkLguNq5oFB2Ut | jq .
Buried in there is a url entry, and buried in some of those is a tag entry and buried in some of those are details for the size of the video and audio for each upload.
Peertube’s video channels have an outbox (similar to how Lemmy’s communities do, but not limited to 50 entries), so you can step through that to find the relevant info for everything in your channel.
Doing that for your channel, I got:
Shitpost #2
video: 482 x 480: 2.27 MB
audio: 0.3 MB
Shitpost #1
video: 480 x 480: 8.69 MB
audio: 0.94 MB
Will this replace the internet?
video: 1080 x 1920: 19.26 MB
video: 720 x 1280: 11.9 MB
video: 360 x 640: 5.23 MB
audio: 16.75 MB
Cat
video: 1920 x 1080: 7.77 MB
video: 1280 x 720: 2.14 MB
video: 640 x 360: 0.41 MB
audio: 0.23 MB
If you assume that the size of the audio is ignored, and that lower resolutions are transcoded as requested, and add the sizes for the highest resolutions together, you get 2.27 + 8.69 + 19.26 + 7.77 = 37.99 (which is the 38 MB visible in your screenshot).
The information is available, but it’s a pain in the arse to get, so it’s probably annoying for PeerTube themselves to show (a brief look suggests that the API response doesn’t provide it, so there’s nothing for the web frontend to display). It’s also possible that they may drop the higher resolutions for videos with low engagement, so the size of each upload isn’t static, which adds an extra complication.
Digg’s officially launched now for about a month and it’s… really underwhelming.
Check their equivalent of Hot.
The “Most Dugg” posts by upvotes as of this post:
+110, +107, +89, +86, +84, +84, +79, +79 (roughly in the last 24 hours)
As compared to Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin as seen on Lemmy.world (Top in last 24 hours):
+1.22k, +952, +855, +751, +669, +646, +620, +612
That’s really poor from Digg honestly.
IKR it was weird and ridiculous
I understand how probable things can be, but good lord, I would be so aggravated if people judged me based on my father’s politics
As it stands right now, it looks like we have to just judge based off of how old posts are to see if we can still interact with a community.
Yep.
it doesn’t save my settings or my favorites and multi-communities.
It should save/persist the favorites to your browser’s local storage. If you’re using a browser that clears site data on close or something, then they’ll reset. But it also wouldn’t persist your profile and you’d have to log in every time, so….🤔 It doesn’t, however, save any settings beyond your device. I’m working on a way to securely save those to whatever Tesseract server you use but don’t have it implemented yet.
This version (1.4.42) also changes where and how the favorites, community groups, and filters are stored in addition to not storing useless data like the community sidebar info, etc. They’re also no longer stored inside your profile in a single local storage object. Since these save to the browser’s local storage, there’s a hard 5 MB limit per object (everything gets written to a JSON string), so maybe your profile exceeded that somehow? If so, there should be browser console logs to that effect. Regardless, this version splits those all up into separate storage objects to address that problem.
Not sure what you mean by multi-communities, though. There was a feature to create custom feeds (which is kind-of similar to multi-community) but I took that out a long time ago because API changes in 0.19.3+ made it untenable. I think that was removed in 1.4.40 or thereabouts, so if you’re on a version older than that, then maybe that feature is still present. That feature was pretty broken for a long time which is why I finally removed it and put it out of its misery.
It doesn’t, however, save any settings beyond your device. I’m working on a way to securely save those to whatever Tesseract server you use but don’t have it implemented yet.
Thank you for explaining that. I clear the cache quite often. I haven’t tried to save the favorites in a bit because I thought it was tied to the settings. Changing the settings each time isn’t a big deal, but saving favs kind of is. I’ll give it another try since it’s pretty great.
A big grab bag of news, that ties into the question of ‘Where Does Community Live?’
This was an insightful read. Thanks!
Thanks! Previously I had looked for a way to import settings and was unable to find it so that held me up, but I got all my comms imported so I’m gonna give piefed.zip a try as my new instance ☺️
Username is slightly different now, it was probably time for it to change
Thank you! I really appreciate the help ☺️
Hope you have a lovely day blaze!
I am, hope you too!
Oh :)
Once per day a request is made all instances to retrieve the list of their admins. If that request fails then they’re flagged as ‘dormant’. If dormant for 5 days, flagged as ‘gone forever’ and then PieFed doesn’t try to federate with them again and all their communities have that warning on them.
I know I’m replying to a two year old comment, but who cares.
I’ve had a Motorola Milestone (Motorola Droid in the US) in 2009 and I got an internet enabled plan immediately.
It was very expensive and capped at 200 Megabytes per month, so I only really used it for basic web browsing. Fucking loved that phone, though. I played through a few GBA games on an emulator, with the keyboard it worked great.
I’ve had spotify back then, but I never streamed anything, because of the data cap.
