Yes. Got any other suggestions? I did some digging and Hetzner seems to be the best deal for your buck.
nostr:npub1yvscx9vrmpcmwcmydrm8lauqdpngum4ne8xmkgc2d4rcaxrx7tkswdwzdu runs his own owncast server and uses the nostr:npub1wyuh3scfgzqmxn709a2fzuemps389rxnk7nfgege6s847zze3tuqfl87ez publishing tool to go live on Nostr.
Options exist.
Owncast is great but not everyone has the know-how to self-host. Btw, I use the publishing tool too. GG to hzrd for adding a live event template!
Yes and just like "not everyone should run a node" - not everyone should run a streaming server 😉
There is other solutions for self-hosting a stream. This is noderunner level stuff.
Technically yes. Good luck spreading a DDOS across a decentralised network of streaming servers.
4 CPU and 4GB ram will suffice. The one I'm putting up has 4 CPU, 16 BG ram with 20 TB data/month included @ €25. After that sats/min kicks in.
No, the idea is to have more endpoints (streaming servers) available to select from when you want to stream to nostr. zap.stream is just a web interface showing nostr streams. Like every nostr app just shows rendered JSON from relays. Having more endpoints (in different geo-locations) would not only make attacking live events a lot more complex, it would also allow people to stream via endpoints closer to their own location.
At the moment the only streaming server is located in the EU which means that many people have had issues streaming on nostr anyway simply based on their geo-location and their added latency to the server. More endpoints fixes that too.
Basically with more endpoints you "pick your provider", top-up your balance with that provider, get your stream key from them and go live. If that provider ever has any issues, you simply buy credits from a different server, change your stream key and you're live again.
I'm putting up one server in Germany which wont cost much unless it's being used and if it's being used the users will pay for the bandwidth. Just like blossom servers.
Right and with ZS (endpoint) being under constant DDOS there is no nostr streaming besides the few of us who go the extra mile to self-host.
The only publicly available endpoint to stream to nostr has been under DDOS for weeks which is only getting ramped up every time Kieran scales to combat it. At this point it's not a nuisance, it's extremely malicious. We're talking constant - tens-of-GB per second - attacks.
thanks for popping in to check it out!
Remember nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m talking about "single points of failure" @ Nostrasia? At this moment in time, a lack of endpoints for nostr live events IS a massive single point of failure. Hence I'm calling upon thee noderunners and co, run an endpoint!
W have BTC nodes!
We have LN nodes!
We have relays!
We have blossom servers!
We don't have streaming servers!
Spin up a node and/or consider contributing. If you can run an Alby Hub, you can run ZS core.
GM and Happy Sunday #coffeechain !
⚡️🔥 NEW - The Ethereum Foundation launches Proof of Burn, the tokenization of ETH burn in the form of BETH
The principle: send your ETH to the burn contract and instantly get back the same amount in BETH.
Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin has stated that ETH burn will become a highly profitable business, with further development planned for BETH, BBETH and BBBETH tokens.

So I guess the whole PoS thing didn't work out? (rhetorical question)
🤣 I get that.
This is what the developers have to say
"Players can generate unique textures for character outfits and various items based on text input. They can also create 3D objects from image input, which can be used as interior decorations or accessories, and add distinctive motions to their Zoi using video input. Additionally, the actions and thoughts of Zois are controlled through sLM technology, enabling more engaging and intuitive interactions."
Cheers man! Almost got arrested again. Why does everyone get so fussed about scamming a few people on ebay?
A life simulator called inZOI with sLM NPCs and other cool AI stuff. It's being developed on Unreal Engine 5. For now, interesting proof of concept.
I built this today.
#100pushupsadaydownto100k !
But they sure did listen to "Bitcoin is going to ONE MILLION. it's going up forever Laura"
We call it "Feindbild". Create one and you have an enemy you can attack, literally forever.
Where exactly are those Hamas leaders and their hostages hiding? Not like there is much left but rubble and rocks in Palestine. What's the odds that the Hamas leadership and the hostages have been relocated long ago?
Bro, you'll have to check-in on the stream later. this dude is a ladies man like no other 😆
We don't do scared man. We're men!! We also don't cry.... if we're not alone. 😆
So it's working! Thanks for testing.
You can get one too
for real man. She must have walked out with the tablet. the thing was like 280 bucks!!!
If they're so educated on economy, why didn't the buy Bitcoin during the last decade?
we used to call the spare a "guest room". you know, when visitors come over...
