I knew peertube but never used it before. I was very surprised to be able to watch 1080@60fps at x2 speed totally smoothly, while with youtube I have to reduce to 720@30fps and even then it still hogs the cpu.
Yeah same here. Not to mention that recently they started nagging you a lot when using ad-blocker. And not to mention all the Google spyware going on on Youtube
Maybe it's just me but a few months ago, it seems youtube got much heavier. My laptop fans ramp when using it almost every time
Probably all the new ad-blocking blocking, telemetry, and data harvesting.
I've noticed that ublock will sometimes be blocking 1,000+ scripts while on YouTube. That's gotta have an effect of all those are active.
Well 1000 script requests, since they're being blocked. It's not actually 1000 unique scripts.
I hope
I wasn't able to run it at 480p for more than 5-6 seconds without it buffering. I have gigabit fiber.
Guess it'll depend on who's providing the video at any given time. It's peer to peer, after all
Hardware accelerated video decoding exists for a reason.
While I appreciate the effort to make a video, it would be nice to have some text bullet points.
I am interested, but watching videos for information is always a huge waste sink of time.
Edit: changed waste, as I thought that wasn't true, I meant to say it simply takes more time than reading.
