A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

From what I understand its still restrained by the server in real time so downloading a 2 hour movie would still take two hours 🥲

Is this a bug, or is it actually just limited to the transcode speed? I would love to read the incident/bug report about this.

It's limited to the transcode speed, but it's important to keep in mind that e.g. if you transcode to a lower resolution especially it'll usually transcode faster than realtime.

Then it shouldn’t be limited. I can transcode a movie faster then I watch it even at higher quality.

Right, I just mean if your connection speed is faster than your server can transcode, then the transcode speed will be the bottleneck
