PeerTube v3 is now live with Live Streaming abilities
PeerTube has recently released version 3.0.0, which has added many things, including the ability to livestream. I’ve already updated by PeerTube instance to version 3 (it is linked from this RSS entry), but the link is just videos.lukesmith.xyz .

I’m not sure if I’ll end up immediately using the livestream ability, but it is certainly nice to have a non-YouTube option which is, in fact, self-hosted.

Aside from that, I strong recommend you … ⌘ Read more

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia managed to be both a satisfying school harem comedy & a satisfying gothic ghost story. Highly recommend. Why the heck don’t people talk more about this show?

If you thought Quora’s anime tag was bad, wait until you see their The Beatles tag. If you think that’s bad, wait until you get on the automatic recommendation list for answering questions in ‘acronyms’.

Strongly recommend ‘Horror Noire’ for folks who are interested in the history of horror on film. It filled in some big gaps in the timeline for me. It’s available on Shudder, which is also streaming some flicks covered.

Lovecraft is illustrative of the first half of the 20th century because he represents several seemingly mutually exclusive extremes. Recommend reading Sterling’s Pirate Utopia & Stranger Than We Can Imagine together, then Dreams in the Witch House

Attention knitters: (n) the ad-tech people who make sure your recommended youtube videos smoothly transition from lets-plays to people who are very angry that the lizard people refuse to inflate the flat earth with ghosts

Tourist Trap is apparently on Shudder now. Even though it’s not Giallo, I recommend Giallo fans give it a watch: much like Profundo Russo & other pre-Suspiria Argento, it combines messy storytelling with some beautiful, surreal, and terrifying shot composition.

Bad idea of the day: a system for sharing playlists of things that aren’t audio or online video, like themed triple-features or reading lists, so you can curate or browse that kind of human recommendation

Quake for Oculus Rift
My Oculus Rift CV1 finally arrived last week, so of course I had to update my fork of the excellent Quakespasm engine for the new Oculus 1.4 API.

While I was at it, I also fixed a number of bugs, included support for the Rift’s headphones and the XBox One controller – I’d still recommend you play with mouse & keyboard, though. Controls are set up with reasonable defaults, but you can of course change everything in the options menu. There’s also … ⌘ Read more
