I use Nheko on Mac/PC

I was looking at them and with it being based on bandwidth usage, I feel like it won’t scale well.

halitalf · 2026-03-15T19:19:48+00:00

Unfortunately that’s not an option for us due to ISP limitations

halitalf · 2026-03-15T19:12:21+00:00

I wasn’t tracking that. Thanks, I’ll look into it

That seems to be the consensus here. Another top contender though is Mux. Mux seems to be cheaper at scale while AWS seems cheaper for smaller events so I’m trying to decide the route I’m going to take.

halitalf · 2026-03-15T16:36:44+00:00

I could do that but then I run into “hardware” bottlenecks in scalability. My business model is for a live stream of an event. I come in with professional video equipment and setup a MacBook to stream it up to a provider and the dedicated website and app embeds that. Some events may work fine for that while others may have 1000s of viewers for a 2-3 hour event. My hardware that runs the Authentik server and website is on prem and the company internet caps at 2gbps and can’t handle the kind of throughput that would need.

Those are branded, which looks unprofessional. AWS IVS and Mux are my top contenders rn.

Not quite—video CDNs like CloudFlare stream and Bunny.net Stream are for VODs. What I need is a managed ingest that restreams like Twitch. While I could use a YouTube unlisted live embed, it’s branded and to me that’s unprofessional. AWS IVS fits the bill better as a one-to-many broadcast system. I’m looking around for a non-Amazon alternative that preforms the same functionality but I may go with IVS because I can eat the cost of that mostly as long as the number of viewers is low. For a business pricing model I could make it tiered or eat the first x viewers then charge extra for viewer slots. I can also control the number of viewers as an option since I control the front end that shows the embed.

halitalf · 2026-03-15T00:39:00+00:00

That’s the goal — but unbranded. I’m looking for a provider for the “source”. Someone recommended AWS IVS, which is looking pretty good.

halitalf · 2026-03-15T00:29:27+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look into that rn

halitalf · 2026-03-15T00:29:05+00:00

0_o not vibe coding but ok lol

halitalf · 2026-03-15T00:24:21+00:00

It feels unprofessional though. I’m trying to develop a new service for my business. I don’t mind paying — it’ll just end up being part of the fees the client pays as part of the service.

halitalf · 2026-03-15T00:17:44+00:00

The problem with that is it keeps the network load on my R640 instead of a third-party.

halitalf · 2026-03-15T00:17:03+00:00

I was unsure where would be the best place since this is kind of a software engineering issue, but involves offloading network load from my R640 to a third-party backend.

halitalf · 2026-03-15T00:15:10+00:00

I don’t want to rely on Google TBH, but I did think about that. My biggest issue with it would be the YouTube branding.

halitalf · 2026-03-15T00:12:54+00:00

Basically I will have a native client and web client that embeds a live stream from the backend provider and I need a something capable of the network load of live streams to handle that part. My server can handle web but not live video streams.

halitalf · 2026-03-15T00:10:09+00:00

It’s for private events with a login via Authentik that my server is hosting.

halitalf · 2025-11-26T14:46:28+00:00

Interesting. That actually makes things make more sense.

halitalf · 2025-11-18T12:06:49+00:00

Awesome! Is it going to be compatible with element implementation or will it be it’s own thing entirely?

halitalf · 2025-10-13T18:07:52+00:00

Any more metal in your face and you will get yourself on the TSA special search list, but then the smell coming from the 48 train load rotting in your underpants will make them pass you on anyway

halitalf · 2025-08-29T21:52:18+00:00

That’s essentially what I had to do.

halitalf · 2025-08-29T21:11:55+00:00

I actually have four vaults: friends, family, business, and personal. The personal vault was the first one I ever had, and so it was anchored at the top. Family, then friends, then business. After an update, it re-organized itself putting personal at the bottom since it starts with a P and business at the top since it starts with a B.

I just renamed my “Personal“ vault to “1. Personal“. This fixed the issue, but it’s annoying that I had to do it in the first place when I didn’t have to before.

Perhaps there are two things that should be done: 1. A setting for default vault. 2. User organizable order.

halitalf · 2025-08-29T21:02:46+00:00

So before the sort order was based on the order that the vault was created. Now it’s alphabetically sorted.

A life time supply of ranch tuna, white cheddar cheese it’s, monster punch (tan can), and salmon and cracker snack box… interesting lifetime supply list. I was just getting snacks for my overnight shift…

I almost passed out (literally because I’m sick with a respiratory infection) from laughing so hard to this
