Sadly, I think livestreaming to MakerTube isn’t going to be possible until something gets fixed…

I will get into the habit of uploading my stream recordings, but today’s stream seemed to break down into 5-8 minute segments for a while, then just stopped connecting altogether.

I don’t have that challenge on Twitch or Moonbeam—they’re connecting just fine. So I’m pretty sure now it’s a PeerTube thing.

I’m going to stop livestreaming there and just upload vids for right now. My new one will be up in a while—it takes a long time to upload.

Today I'm streaming on Twitch and Moonbeam, 1-4:00pm PDT (UTC-7).

I want to swing back to MakerTube, but I'm just going to upload my stream recordings for right now. I think there may be a PeerTube bug, currently that's causing issues for non-platform owners who stream to servers they don't administrate. So... Or, it may just be me! LOL!

Today's stream should hopefully be up tomorrow, but they're very very big files, so... hehe...

My stream today will be Part 2 of the creation of an image done in Procreate based on Rapunzel.

I listen to soft music, drink tea, and try to keep a chill vibe! Perhaps I'll see you there!

Apologies to those trying to watch my stream on MakerTube... It went down on me again--the third time out of four streams--so I think it may be a PeerTube thing... There's nothing I can do on my end. I'm going to wait to start streaming on the platform again until things get figured out...

My stream recordings will go up as normal! Woohoo! And you can catch me on Twitch and Moonbeam!

There is a big inrush of people and registrations on #MakerTube after c't #heise (a big German publisher in IT) uploaded a video about alternative platforms to the big US owned ones. I'm going through the registrations and letting people in, but I can't accommodate everyone. There are just not enough resources, and the focus of MakerTube is limited, see makertube.net/about/instance/t
Maybe it's time to think about a platform with a bigger scope? #peertube

Wir haben im Bereich der Big Tech Angebote bereits technisch alles, was es für europäische Souveränität bräuchte ...

... wir müssten es nur mal nutzen. @ct_Magazin zeigt jetzt wie es geht und postet ein spannendes Video "Tschüss, USA: Europäische Alternativen" auf #MakerTube, Teil des souveränen Open Source #Fediverse.

Das Fediverse bietet bereits heute dezentral alle Dienste, die ansonsten in der Hand weniger Tech-Konzerne liegen - Microblogging, Videoplattformen oder Bilder-Stories. Es stellt sich "nur" noch die Frage, wie diese mehr Bedeutung erlangen könnten. 🤔

Ich selbst bin vor wenigen Wochen ins Fediverse eingetaucht und ein bisschen fühlt es sich an, wie zu Beginn des Internets - viel zu entdecken, ein bisschen neu und ungewohnt, aber es wird schnell zum spannenden Ort, an dem man gerne Zeit verbringt und jeden Tag etwas neues entdeckt.

In diesen Zeiten wichtiger denn je - der dezentrale Open-Source-Ansatz ist eine echte Chance, das Internet aus einer Monokoltur herauszuführen und zurück in die Hände aller Nutzenden zu legen.

Probiert ihr auch gerne einmal etwas neues aus, oder bleibt ihr Big Tech treu?

Ich hoffe, weitere Videos und Beiträge von C'T im Fediverse zu lesen und zu schauen!

I”m going live today to get more done on my Jack & the Beanstalk image I’m working on in Procreate. Soft music, tea, and generally chill!

1-4:00pm PDT (UTC-7)

I’m going to try to go live on MakerTube, but it has been a bit finicky lately, so I’m honestly not sure it’ll actually work. If it doesn’t, you can find me on Twitch and Moonbeam, too.

I’ll upload the recorded stream as soon as I can, of course.

I have a new blog post about how my livestreaming schedule is going to change now that I have my own studio space in my own home.

Starting March 18th and 19th, I’ll be streaming on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 1-4:00pm PDT (UTC-7).

‼️ ‼️ BUT TODAY, I’m dipping my toes into daytime streaming by going live from 1-3:00pm to make up for last night’s canceled stream! Come join me for soothing music, tea, and a new Procreate project based on Jack and the Beanstalk! ‼️ ‼️

I’m still not ready to do livestreaming. I’m far too tired, and need another night to rest. So I’m cancelling my livestream tonight that was scheduled from 7-9:00pm.

BUT--I’ll be trying something new tomorrow. A daytime livestream from 1-3:00pm. More info coming!

My sincerest apologies to all. I just need one more night to recharge my batteries. I’ll be refreshed tomorrow.

Tried livestreaming this afternoon, but apparently MakerTube didn't quite work...

But then I had problems forming cohesive thoughts and pooped out an hour into it, wrapping things up. I went and slept for two hours.

I think I may have been a bit overly ambitious trying to livestream a short week after picking up my life and moving. I didn't realize that feeling tired is different from being fatigued, and my body is just not having it. The stress, the unfamiliarity, the new climate, the boxes, the boxes, and the boxes...

I have to change up my schedule anyway, as I can livestream during the weekdays now and I need to have my weekends free for markets and festivals. I have a lot of pondering to do!

But in the meantime, I have a lot of sorting, arranging, and resting to do. Oof. Sorry if anyone tuned in and didn't get to see it. I'm going to be checking my MakerTube connections and all that to make sure they're all still working.

I'll post soon what my new schedule will be once I figure it out!

I’m passing on my livestream tonight, folks. I’m not mentally in a good place for it, and I’m feeling nauseous anyway.

I have a lot to do for my upcoming move out of San Diego to Eureka which I need to be packed and ready for in about a week. So I think I’m going to return to streaming the second week of March after we dig ourselves out of our stuff and manage to get basic routines back on track.

My head isn’t in the right place right now to do art live. Thank you all for understanding, and I’ll see you on the other side!

New piece! I got most of this done on my livestreams this last week, but finished it up off-line because I needed to figure out what I wanted for Goldilocks's golden locks.

I'm really happy with this one. It combines a whole bunch of influences, inspiration, and advice during the stream (thank you @ina for the bear idea!). I'm enjoying making these!

Next up, Snow White!

Going live again today to my happy place, streaming online and doing my art!

I'll be on MakerTube and Twitch today from 1-4:00 pm PST (UTC-8), continuing my Art Nouveau-inspired Goldilocks and the Three Bears piece in Procreate. I think I may finish it up and start another? Maybe? We'll see!

I'll be drinking tea, listening to soft music, and doing my best to invest in the act of creation in the face of so much shock and chaos. I will not let them take joy away from me.
