#
[capjamesg] Does anyone have any typeforming / publishing experience? Thinking of doing v2 of the printed blog and would like something a bit more professional than what I have atm.
#
doosboox [capjamesg]: I’ve made quite a few print items, but they’re in no way professional: https://www.lulu.com/search?adult_audience_rating=00&contributor=Bj%C3%B6rn+W%C3%A4rmedal&page=1&pageSize=10
#
doosboox Source files here: https://warmedal.se/~bjorn/games
#
doosboox [capjamesg]: what’s your level of ambition?
#
[capjamesg] Those were very helpful doosboox.
#
[capjamesg] I have already printed v1 so I'm interested in making this a project.
#
doosboox 👍
#
[capjamesg] I am modelling the design after what I have on my blog already at the moment.
#
[capjamesg] I liked the layouts of your front covers. Nice to see different ways to think about layout.
#
doosboox Thank you!
#
doosboox My favourite book cover of all times is probably the original Traveller RPG rule book: http://mateengreenway.com/traveller/Trav.jpg
#
[capjamesg] Ignore the white space on the edges. That was just an export issue.

Bitweasil If I self host content, and want to move videos off YouTube in response to their recent monetization changes, what's a good way to host those?
[jacky] joined the channel
#
[jacky] Bitweasil: https://wistia.com/ is a great option
#
[jacky] there's also things like MediaGoblin
chrisaldrich joined the channel
#
Bitweasil Ok, I was thinking more like "slicing a file into HLS segments and putting them in a media directory, and hosting a web player."
#
Bitweasil I'm not sure what B2B business optimization is or how it relates to a video for blog posts.
#
aaronpk oh if that's your level then you'll be fine
#
aaronpk what is video.js
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "video.js" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "video.js is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
aaronpk https://videojs.com/
#
Bitweasil Also, I'm not seeing a way to self host Wistia?
#
Bitweasil > Plays “traditional” file formats such as MP4 and WebM, but also supports adaptive streaming formats such as HLS and DASH. There’s even a special UI for live streams!
#
Bitweasil Perfect.
#
Bitweasil Thanks!
#
Bitweasil I slice and dice my file myself into a few bitrates, and it solves the details based on end user bandwidth?
#
mgdm yep
#
Bitweasil *nods* That's more my style, thanks. I've migrated away from hosted solutions after they keep changing under me and breaking stuff.
#
Bitweasil Though I suppose CloudFlare won't cache HLS segments. :/
#
mgdm not out of the box, though I think it could be persuaded, but that might not be a free tier thing
#
mgdm (I've not used Cloudflare but I've looked at their docs a bit)
#
Bitweasil I really don't do much video.
#
Bitweasil just trying to move off YouTube.
#
barnaby hmm now I’m finally upgrading to a web host with 100GB of disk space, maybe I’ll self-host some of my videos
#
Loqi barnaby: aaronpk left you a message on 2013-05-26 at 6:08pm UTC: scroll down this page just under the fold, let me know if you think that's a good idea :) http://aaronparecki.com/tag/indieweb
#
Loqi barnaby: caseorganic left you a message on 2014-01-07 at 5:25pm UTC: happy birthday!
#
barnaby oh wow
#
aaronpk 😂
#
aaronpk i have no idea what my message was about
#
barnaby aaronpk++ for keeping that URL working for exactly 8 years
#
Loqi aaronpk has 19 karma in this channel over the last year (165 in all channels)
#
barnaby almost to the day!!
#
barnaby !tell caseorganic thanks!
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#

#

#
[KevinMarks] Bitweasil - if you're OK with making your video creative commons licenced Internet Archive we'll host it for you
#
Bitweasil Oh? Interesting. They're just random things, nothing exotic.
#
Bitweasil I'll probably just self host.
