What Hacker News says
2 sourcesMy mom digitized many many old family videos, and wanted them online for sharing with family (including elderly & not-super-tech-savvy relatives). She asked me āshould I just upload them all to a YouTube channel?ā
Thankfully it was a phone call so my mom didnāt see my aghast expression. I prefer that big tech not index this stuff! Better to keep āin the familyā
Seriously why does big tech deserve this free & super-private window into me & my ancestors lives?
So I wrote something[1] where:
* itās fully free & open source
* cloud native
* plays on any device, any bandwidth, even if shitty
* yes my 90+yo Aunt Loretta (w00t to you Aunt Lo!) can use it on her phone & computer
* all data can be always encrypted, both source videos and derived/optimized assets
* and thereās more. please have fun
Basically point it at a source bucket on S3 or B2,
Read the rest
and get your own private YouTube.
What Iāve built is very limited in functionality atm, but I believe the foundation is solid and plan to extend media support to photos and audio.
This can be a nice alternative to Plex/Google Photos/YT/etc.
Itās for when you donāt care about ābuilding an audienceā and in fact prefer that big tech can only see encrypted bytes from you.
Try it out and lmk!
