You mean /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d?
Wasn't that the goal?
Why? Climate differences?

Who uses inches at this scale? I mean, really, Wikipedia.

Email - Make sure to register using an email detached from your legal identity (remember Stonetoss?).
The software requires an email address, however, I've disabled the verification requirement. This means you can register using something like [email protected] and it will totally work—unless the address is already taken (in which case you should get better material!).
You would need a real address, of course, to have the option of resetting your password. The only other thing I use email for is explaining and notifying users of any moderator actions I take against them, as a courtesy.

P2P - The peer-to-peer feature allows the software to scale tremendously well when serving the same viral video to many people at the same time (supposedly at least 1000 concurrent viewers, easily, with a wimpier server than ours).
A downside of the feature is that it can reveal your IP to a subset of people watching the same video at the same time as you. [Read more]. Therefore, it is recommended to either:
- Use a VPN. Or,
- Deselect the P2P participation feature in the user settings menu.
Federation
TT users can search and view any videos from instances on the subscriptions list, and the instances following TT can view our vids. I occasionally browse the public index and look for new instances to follow (sometimes they're a bust). LMK if you find any cool ones.
Mirroring vids, as in multiple copies on multiple servers, is done when instances implement something called redundancy, but I haven't looked into that much yet.
Fifty Channels!
The major difference from YT is that TT users can create up to fifty (50) channels (the default is 20 but I bumped it up). Channels are analogous to Lemmy communities, except that PT doesn't yet support shared channels with more than one author/user (I believe it's a planned feature). Create a channel for every weird niche topic that you want!
I'll eventually create a style guide. If you want to sync or archive a YT channel, then I'd prefer that you create a unique TT channel that corresponds to it for better organization.
PT has an automatic channel syncing feature, but I have it turned off right now because it was overloading the transcoding queue.
The TankieTube Homepage
The YT homepage is built by a sinister algorithm customized to distract and exploit you. The TT homepage contains whatever-the-fuck HTML I choose to type with my paws. Determining what to put on it will be a big and ongoing decision. If you've made a channel relevant to the site's theme, send me a message and I'll probably pin it!
About the Outro
The music is La Danse Des Bombes, a great song about the ecstasy of armed combat in defense of the Paris Commune of 1871, which I discovered thanks to comrade [email protected]. PT is French software, so I think that's neat.
The sound effects are sampled from a video of the Al-Qassam Brigade resistance fighters in live armed combat against Israeli occupation forces. The sound effects correspond to a :hamas-red-triangle: 
scene in the video.
Underneath it all is a 140bpm beat by "K1 The Producer".
History & Goals
I started out with a $15/mo VPS (run by Nazis, as it turned out) and have migrated/upgraded the server twice since then. It's now using the most powerful dedicated server available from Freakhosting at ~$230/mo💰🥴, because I wanted it to not suck. It has a Ryzen 9 7950x3D, which is ~32 times as fast as the first server. It still doesn't have the transcoding throughput to keep up with YT syncing without creating a double-digit hour backlog.
The transcoding power can be boosted by renting additional servers for use as remote runners. It all depends on the amount of support the project can get...
Donation Link 🥺👉👈
I'm afraid to add it up, but I'm sure I've sunk at least $600 into various TT expenses since I registered the domain on 2023-10-27 and started playing around. I didn't want to ask for donations until I was sure I knew what I was doing.
Another goal: making the PT vids embed properly in Lemmy!
He handed me a joystick and said we were going to play some kind of flight simulator game. My memory gets fuzzy after that. The man knows how to party.
I wanted a "satchel" for school, and the lovely item I bought was named a "men's messenger bag". I've never heard that term before!
The differences between it and a "women's purse" (WP):
- It has a more comfortable shoulder strap than the dainty ones on WPs.
- Its morphology is pretty square. WPs have fewer right angles.
That's all I got so far.
I do prefer this style to WPs. It fits my look. I don't have a problem with style differences. I just think "men's purse" is a more accurate term; but I'm sure that name scared the American focus groups lol.
Well, maybe my bag is differentiated in that it can carry a laptop. Can WPs do that?

They talk about how ashamed and stigmatized they feel – they know the public thinks they’re bad because they’re outside. And they just feel incredibly alone in the world.
Wendell Stephens, an 81-year-old [..], said loneliness was one of the hardest parts [...]
I’ve got nobody to talk to. When your life is normal, you take for granted that you have friends and people, and then all of a sudden it’s all gone.
