So, a tchncs' #PeerTube instance seems to have lost a bunch of my videos wth their migration to the new storage backend. I've asked for support on this, but haven't heard anything back from them. The last public statement I saw from them on the issue was that they didn't know how to fix it. That was months ago.

I have everything backed up, so I'm thinking about either re-uploading them, or (more likely) rehosting elsewhere. I'd love to self-host a PeerTube instance, as I've upgraded my internet connection since I last considered that, but the machine I'm currently hosting most of my services from has limited storage (128GB) and I'm already finding myself needing to make decisions about what to keep and what not to. I'm considering automatically pruning old posts from my Friendica node, as that's taking up a fair chunk of space. I'd love to upgrade my "server" to a NUC with 1TB of storage, but that's a little out of my price range at the moment.

I've also looked at diode.zone, but their terms of service specifically prohibit music under the YouTube license which a couple of my videos use... though, I suppose I could re-edit them.* I am a little concerned that they are a relatively popular server. Popular servers tend to have their mod teams stretched pretty thin, though I don't know if that's particularly been a problem over there. Even if it isn't an issue now, it may become so in the future.

Are there other options I'm missing here? My preference would be to self-host if at all possible, as video tends to consume a non-trivial amount of resources.
