Aspiring Vtuber who currently narrates for [at]CoRedRead on YouTube (Invidious is recommended, though).
I’m an aspiring Vtuber focused right now on narrating for one of three YouTube channels I’m associated with (that being Cocules Reddit Readings), but I want to expand on that in the future once I get myself out there with proper connections.
I do this, however, using Linux and FOSS. My producer does his channels the exact same way.
Honestly, IBM deserves to get DDoS’d for their actions. This is because of the push for Wayland, PipeWire, Systemd and some other things they want to shove down our throats.
My producer and I aren’t like that, thankfully.
My producer and I personally use Bash. We tried zsh, but that didn’t treat us very well. Fish is actually pretty nice, though.
Nostr is one of them, but I’d learn how to set that up first before using Primal.
Also, Nostr means Notes and Stuff on Relays, and is Free Software. This is the wild west of the internet, from what I was notified by my producer, Neigsendoig.
I’d rather self-host with rclone and NextCloud if necessary, as Google Drive is not for me. I won’t even be getting a Google account (though my producer does).
Not necessarily self-host, but I actually have an Obsidian vault that’s local-only. That is a vault where I can do my content creation brainstorming, especially script writing for Cocules Reddit Readings, of which I happened to be the new narrator for.
Otherwise, I try to do everything local without having to use something like Syncthing or NextCloud.
My PFP is actually AI generated with a local model (Stable Diffusion 1.5) thanks to my producer, Neigsendoig (who goes by Sendo). Personally speaking, both Sendo and I are into generative AI, and use it with proper disclosure.
Most people should do that whenever they use generative AI for anything, provided that AI is an integral part of the production.
This is why I just use the Chaotic AUR, knowing that something like this was being posted everywhere. My producer, Neigsendoig, does the exact same with his machine.
We both use CachyOS anyway.
Neigsendoig (my producer) and I started to shy away from Flatpaks. We’ve hated Snap already, and rather distro packages, third-party compiled packages and AppImages.
