fwiw they actually live on a sailboat and have sporadic internet access and limited electricity, so saying it's retroactive justification isn't really true and minimizes the real problems they face.
They could solve these problems by not living on a sailboat.
Every personal problem has at least one easy solution. better ones take more effort.

Streaming is important, especially for longer videos. I don't believe any static hosting site supports video streaming.
I suppose any reasonable browser can play off a HTTP stream. I not so sure it would be able to navigate in the stream easily (like clicking at a particular time on the progress bar), because the bitrate is highly variable. What else am I missing?

Dynamic bitrate is the main one - the browser & server coordinate to figure out the highest video quality the user can watch without stuttering/buffering.
I know because I explored this for a hobby project of a movie I liked. See here: http://lelandbatey.com/projects/REDLINE-intro/
Use your network inspector to observe your browser requesting the individual chunks over time. Note that my server is just an Apache2 file server.
I've been following their travels since I guess 2016. Right around the time we were winding down our own seabattical. It's good to see they are still out there, traveling. creating, and coding. Even on our much bigger boat, boat projects were much bigger and more complex. So, there is a lot to be said about their minimalist travels. It really strips you down to the essence and encourages you to focus on what's most i…

So it's like permaculture but for software.
That's the idea. However, my initial criticism of the way permacomputing is formulated are: 1. We could have examined each of the 12 Permaculture Design Principle and attempted to directly apply them to software design. For example, "Observe and Interact" is so broadly useful and versatile (and the core of adversarial domains, such as warfare), it can easily be applied to software. You won't see it directly listed he…
I guess I’ll also take the opportunity to point out that my Neat CSS framework was partially inspired by reading their work. I continue to use it for nearly all my projects now. I have become addicted to the smallness of it all. https://neat.joeldare.com

The "\u263Eoe\u2721is\u271E" of online politics if I've ever seen. Nearly meaningless but people place great emotional and identity-based weight on it (even if they've signed away all their data via TOS, as they likely have).
Sidebar—why does hacker news fuck with arbitrary unicode codepoints? Strikes me as deeply user-hostile behavior.

I love their work. I’ve also been working on some video to teach people how to publish their own book (the first of which I’ll make available free when it’s ready). Anyway, I’d like to NOT embed YouTube. Maybe I will anyway, but I wonder if anyone has alternatives, especially if they are scrappy, tiny alternatives like those that I imagine 100r might produce. I’m considering MP4 or WebM in HTML and wilder ideas like…

also you could just embed a self-hosted image that links to youtube. presumably if somebody clicks on the image with the youtube logo on it they know they're going to youtube i mean peertube is a great alternative, and nowadays browsers are pretty okay at just playing bare mp4 files if you re-encode them with ffmpeg -movflags faststart -c copy, but if for whatever reason you choose to use youtube instead there are so…
I'd like to see Peertube clients as widely available as Wordpress clients. They don't have to be federated. You can just host your own stuff.
