Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.

I read some time ago of people using #webAssembly to transcode video in a user's web-browser. blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23

Since then, I believe #WebGPU has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.

I have not seen any #peertube capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.

I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.

My own interest is seeing a #Piefed (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could #autotranslate posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power... One day, maybe!

Thank you again for all your hard work; it is an inspiration.

Scott LogicIn-browser transcoding of video files with FFmpeg and WebAssemblyThe WebAssembly build of FFmpeg allows you to run this powerful video processing tool directly within the browser. In this blog post I explore FFmpeg.wasm and create a simple client-side transcoder that streams data into a video element, with a bit of RxJS thrown in for good measure.

#Whisper #WebGPU by #Huggingface sounds very exciting!

Does this mean an #activitypub server could delegate translation-into-user's-language of all the posts to the user's device?

I'm too thick to have been able to find any system-requirements information for just the text-translation feature... Is this #translation feature likely to fly on mobile devices too?

Am I getting too excited too soon?

@ramin_hal9001 OFC this mostly considers stuff in /etc/, /opt/, ... and is intended to be an explicit "opt-in" - style configuration managment.

For me it's more of a way to find a better & simpler alternative to #Ansible that doesn't require me to install something on the target #Server (or "#EdgeComputing node") and "just works"...

Agora entendi! :blobeyes:

"O Edge Datacenter o mais perto das unidades geradoras de energia não sobrecarrega as linhas de transmissão nacionais que hoje são problemáticas"

"Mais de 80% da demanda de energia do Brasil já poderia ser suprida por energia renováveis, mas hoje as linhas de transmissão não dão conta"

"O Ceará hoje gera sobras de energia eólica, mas não é possível repassar pro Brasil devido aos problemas nas linhas de transmissão"

"Também tem um overload de rede causada pelo uso de painéis fotovoltaicos"

"Datacenters de borda serviriam para armazenar excedentes de energia ou gastá-la quando há demanda de processamento"

O Edge Datacenter pode atuar de modo similar às usinas termelétricas, só que suprindo cargas de processamento de modo distribuído, com baixo impacto ambiental e ainda ajudando no equilíbrio das redes de transmissão elétrica.
