A service like youtube is simply hard to pull of with bailing twine and string (like lemmy).
A core part of the service that youtube offers is re-encoding uploads. That requires some beefy hardware to serve even a moderate number of people.
Reading the thread that’s my take as well. It very much reads like he’s soft peddling neonazi bullshit.
This is a misunderstanding of how modern Israel got to its current state.
There were Jews in Palestine before the state of Israel was established.
The issue isn’t some ancient conflict, it’s that without working with the natives of the region, the British government and UN unilaterally declared that they were making a colonialist ethnostate and took land from the native population for that purpose.
This isn’t some biblical tale as old as time. The region was (relatively) peaceful.
It’s very similar the gigantic fuck up of the India Pakistan split based on religion.
As it turns out, religious ethnostates established by the displacement of natives creates a huge cluster fuck.
And even with all that, things are as bad as they are today because over the last 3 decades Israel has used every conflict as a tool to militarize and isolate Palestinians.
Palestinians aren’t blameless, but they’ve been blamed enough for the problems of Israel. Much like the IRA’s bombings were uncalled for, that doesn’t mean Britain wasn’t to blame for a lot of the problems of Ireland.
Trump didn’t promise to keep the tarrifs lifted, only to pause them. You are correct that it’s insane to have a continual 30 day “will he won’t he” tension.
I hate that my syrup is about to get more expensive, but it’s really the right thing for Canada to do.
Tell me what Biden or Kamala would have done different? Remember all the red lines that functionally did nothing to US policy?
It was under biden that, we estimate because we can’t know, that ~500,000 gazans died. It was under biden that we continued to send bombs to israel even as Israel pushed the entire population into a concentration camp next to egypt.
Gaza was already under a dictator. Way to go Biden and Kamala, instead of giving a single fuck about your electorate loudly told you, you sucked the teet of pro-israel donors and it lost the election.
It’s a mess. You first run into bandwidth problems on the incoming streams. But you also run into a problem with the device support matrix.
If you say “We’ll support H.264, H.265, AV1, AV2” and “We’ll support 480p, 720p, 1080p, 4k”. Now you’d be asking the clients to do 16 different encodes to upload.
This gets more complicated if you add more streams or supported formats. You also end up needing to coordinate that with the client.
AFAIK, the way youtube currently handles this problem is they have dedicated encoders for live streams and fast encoding. For popular videos they do a second step where they do a more full matrix to optimize viewership.
IDK what youtube does for storage (if anything).
