Lord. I know #AI garbage has poisoned the web but I hadnt fully appreciated the scale until I, a newbie, tried to find a simple beginner tutorial for writing a chat bot for some things I’d like to do with the #owncast server.
Nothing but ChatGPT gibberish. Eventually gave up.
Imagine being a hosting service and coming to the Fedi to promote your services by hosting an #owncast and it tops out at 4 users and never stops buffering. 🤣
Oh and ALSO your chat is a DISCORD chat instead of the default Owncast chat. 🤣
One thing I do miss from deleting my #Twitch account is the #Music section. There are some really talented people there streaming music. Are there any people out there streaming music via #Owncast?
My #faircamp , #owncast setup: A fanless industrial PC (Advantech ARK-2250) which also heats up (a small fraction) of this year's chilli and aubergine seedlings.
So every time I stream or you listen and download on faircamp the seedlings get a little bit of dissipated energy!
Join the other patrons at https://live.gamerstavern.online and get ready for some stealth (cough) fun action with Ratto and Alex, playing Vampire the Masquerade: Justice!

Still mulling over my approach to live video here on the #fediverse while the build streams are on hold for a few weeks.
Put the #owncast server on pause for a bit to give them time to get a couple more milestones under their belt, and haven’t yet activated live streaming on our #peertube.
I want to get the Frankie Play #vtuber stuff going again but not sure there’s any audience for it here. Here’s a recent Twitch VoD.
Interested in livestreaming to the #fediverse? #owncast is the thing. Not interested in setting up the VPS, installing, updating setting up encoding profiles yadda yadda...
I have one slot on my #streaming server currently available if you have a domain to use, my funds and non-obligatory donations keep it alive.
Hit me up on matrix if you are interested with your socials, current stream schedule if any.
Event reminder, today Saturday 02 March, 2000 UTC.
Please join indie alt friends @allflowers for a watch party premiere of their new video for "Hey! This Way"
We'll go live with chat a bit ahead of the time with some Allflowers tunes as we assemble. We'll warm up at the top of the hour with a few of their other videos and roll into the premiere.
Hangout and chat with the band and RFF friends and artists if keen or just #joinIn and watch/listen.
A perfect chance to escape the feeds for a bit, interact with and directly support an awesome independent artist outside of the pressures of other platforms.
I've been working for a while on this, so I decided I should share it with the intranet, world, whatever this is. I'm not expecting it to do a lot, since owncast is largely unknown in the sphere where this might be useful, but here goes, hopefully someone has some kind of use out of it
what is this?
This is a program that reads #owncast chats for you aloud, using your system's text to speech engine. For windows, that would be tolk, so your screenreader of choice, while for linux, that would be speech dispatcher.
is this scraping the page?
Well, no, not really. Instead, it's more like the owncast client itself. This works by joining the stream as a bot, viewing chat as it comes in, then forwarding it to your screenreader or speech dispatcher
how to use it?
compile it(no binaries this time, sorry!)
you run it once from the terminal, and it will tell you what to do
a new file, called settings.toml, will appear in your folder. The variable names are pretty self-explanatory, edit them and run the program again
enjoy!
to exit, do so with ctrl+c, don't mind the error exit code, it's fine, you're fine, the world is fine, blame cargo, tokio or something like that, ok?

sorry for no docs or anything, this was a codedump for a while now, so that's how it gotta be for a while longer. That being said, here's the thing
[LIVE] mit „Lost Chronicles of Zerzura“. Wir erleben die Geschichte der Brüder Ramon und Feodor, die im Barcelona des 15. Jahrhunderts leben. Sie wollen sich als Erfinder einen Namen machen. Der Ärger läßt nicht lange auf sich warten. In deutscher Sprache, und natürlich unter #Linux. https://live.hatnix.net#Owncast#Gaming#DRMfree#Livestream#hatclan
These are friendly for comradery and a perfect chance to interact with and directly support an awesome independent artist outside of the pressures of other platforms.
Anyone on here who has been brave enough to start an OwnCast server...
I've never done this before but have an old Chromebook I could convert into a server. If I did so, would it likely be strong enough to hold up to occasional streaming endeavors or nah? I'd mostly be sharing some of my physical media with folks to watch together.
