Submission + - Free open source YouTube-clone alternatives for DIY hosting? (gamespot.com)

Submitted by BlueToast on Sunday December 22, 2013 @02:50AM

BlueToast writes: With the recent waves of content ID take-downs and backlash, what alternatives and options do YouTube content creators have to host videos themselves while still having the user friendliness of YouTube video browsing, channel management, editing, annotations, and highly-compatible automated video transcoding processing?

I like being able to take recordings straight from my phone and camcorder and upload them straight to YouTube and be automatically processed into different quality versions and guaranteed compatibility, but do not have the same experience with DIY self-hosted solutions that often are sensitive to the video format and troublesome to get working in Flash/HTML5-players. I just want to have something as easy to install and configure like WordPress while being as functional and powerful as YouTube and in my full control through my own resources. I have uses for this privately on company intranets and in public on the web.

Been to Auch, FR, coffee there is exceptionally better than the coffee in the States.

Authorities won't need to freeze RAM sticks anymore to extract encryption keys in memory when seizing servers?

Please share more details. I am curious in knowing about this "freeze RAM sticks" -- the part about freezing. This is new to me, I want to know what it is and how it is done! :)

If a nuclear or hydrogen bomb were detonated above a lava lake of an active volcano, or perhaps even somehow able to withstand the lava for some time to sink down further into a volcano and then detonated — what would happen?"

The dual-core processor operates at a clock speed of 1.2GHz and has 3MB of cache. Like many server chips, the Pentium 350 lacks features such as integrated graphics, which are on most of Intel's laptop and desktop processors."

An anonymous reader writes: The future of augmented-reality technology is here — as long as you're a rabbit. Bioengineers have placed the first contact lenses containing electronic displays into the eyes of rabbits as a first step on the way to proving they are safe for humans. The bunnies suffered no ill effects, the researchers say.

Wait, hold on. While I agree with much of your post, I doubt janitors will need a PhD. After all, if you don't give me the job I'm not going to clean your building.

Does this finally mean that there will eventually be complete Active Directory integration or something similar of a sort? Having a centralized way to manage Firefox clients would be brilliant.

NASA satellites on the current Atlantis space shuttle mission were able to capture the geomagnetic phenomenon known as Aurora Australis while it was in progress. The phenomenon, which is called Aurora Borealis in the North, is a natural light display caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere."

BlueToast writes: "It was only about a month ago that there had been an article about how great GPUs can be at brute-force password cracking, and only recently about JPMorgan's FPGA supercomputer churning out a 9-hour job in only about 5 minutes. So now my curiosity is just how powerful could a datacenter-sized supercomputer of FPGAs be when it comes to brute-force password cracking?"
