jelv··on PeerTube v6
Here is the curated list from Frama: https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances that is used for the serach engine: https://sepiasearch.org/
jelv··on PeerTube v6
"WebTorrent is a wonderful library that allowed PeerTube to be created five years ago. But due to many limitations of the library we decided to implement and default to another P2P protocol used in coordination with HLS. This new HLS player works very well, and does not have all the limitations of the WebTorrent player. It also allowed us to implement live streaming in PeerTube."

jelv··on Twitter has re-suspended ElonJet account
https://mastodon.social/@elonjet is the new home. You can follow updates on Jack Sweeney's account https://mastodon.social/@JxckS

It will be interesting to see if republishing public available data does count as aiding in the doxing. I don't think so. His doesn't profit or calls for doxing on the account.

jelv··on Element One – All of Matrix, WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram in one place
From there Terms of Service: Where you read 'Element' or 'we' or 'us' below, it refers to Element, a trading name of New Vector Ltd., its French subsidiary: New Vector SARL, its U.S. subsidiary: Element Software Inc, and their agents. https://element.io/terms-of-service

So UK, French and US.

jelv··on How Discord Went Mainstream
Discord business model seems te be to sell games. Not sure if it's going to be a good fit for non-gamers in the future.

https://riot.im/ powered by Matrix also seems a good alternative. It's getting more stable every day.

jelv··on Age of Empires: Definitive Edition Beta
It's a great episode, thanks for the link.

However the podcast is from before the AoE1 remake announcement. It's about the AoE2 remake. Forgotten Empires were a bunch of fan modders that made an unofficial expansion in 2012. In 2013 Microsoft relaunched AoE2 HD and Forgotten Empires got to release there fan expansion into an official expansion. Forgotten Empires, now LLC, hired Matt Pritchard and Rich Geldreich from Ensemble Studios fame and they are now the developers of the AoE1 remake. Such a great story :)
