Streaming Haiku development on Twitch

It’s a new year, so I figured, why not try something new? So, I’m going to try streaming some Haiku development on Twitch, and anyone interested can drop by and follow along, or ask questions, or the like. I don’t think this will work with all the kinds of development I do (or even most of them, really); but the changes where I’m pretty confident in one particular implementation path and just need to deal with the details seem like pretty good candidates here, as I could likely “talk through them” for anyone who’s interested.

I’m on Twitch as waddlesplash, same as here and everywhere. I might try a stream as early as tomorrow (13th January, maybe around 2:30pm EST / 7:30pm GMT), so stay tuned for that; I’ll post updates on IRC and social media either way.

Interesting idea,I usually don’t watch videos,but I found it really interesting when nephele did a similar stream about WebKit progress on Jitsi some weeks ago.
Maybe I’ll gather some more in-depth knowledge about the OS so that I can contribute more.
I think my C++ knowledge has already become noticeably better since I started here :rofl:

Note that you can also use SafeTwitch if you want to watch it on a clean,lightweight website with no ads,no trackers,no third-party bullshit :bulb:

Theoretically, but I’d have to enable that specifically and maybe set up some other things, and for now I am just doing ephemeral streams.

Any particular reason Twitch does not work for you (and @cosmogatokat also, I suppose)?

Cool. I am in.

I’m more youtube user myself. Twitch never popular on my country so i never use it

I’m also not a big fan of Twitch,but at least it can be watched anonymously using the open-source solution SafeTwitch.
Google did really everything they can to kill Invidious,Piped and similar solutions,so watching Youtube anonymously is not really possible anymore,at least not without trying out dozens of Invidious instances which takes nerves and valuable time.
Just watch the stream on SafeTwitch,no need to signup or so.
Youtube is absolutely the most awful platform on the Internet :face_vomiting:
I found the stream really interesting,but if future streams are there,that was the only one I watched.

I missed your first post. I hope you can store your videos so we can watch at other times.

I’d like to cast my vote for a replay option too.

As for YouTube, I do share the general reservations toward the platform voiced here. However, considering how much success the Serenity project had in attracting developers and sponsors to the OS with their development videos there, I think it would be worth giving it a shot.

While it may not be the way of choice for us here to watch, it is where most people would go looking for something like that.

There’s still the option of streaming to both platforms at the same time, it requires a slightly more complex setup that typically involves the use of OBS Studio or similar softwares like Restream.
It was previously disallowed but the TOS has been changed to allow the so called “simulcast”.

Actually Youtube wants to render several video resolutions on your hardware not by their services, so the hardware to use for rendering videos must be the top VGAs or choose lower resolutions.
This way understandable if someone wants to stream onto Twitch.

I understand replaying option requests, me also visited SafeTwitch after nipos shared this option, and hoped I can watch something there :j

An important difference between streaming on Twitch and YouTube:

  • Twitch: Stream VODs (video-on-demand) are not created by default
  • YouTube: Stream VODs are created by default

If @waddlesplash is open to the idea, he could enable stream VODs on Twitch so that people who missed the streams could watch them back. Of course there are many other differences, but this is often considered the most important one and some folks here seem to be talking about VODs.

I’m going to try another stream this afternoon in about an hour and a half (2:30pm EST), this time looking at caching kernel thread stacks.

And here’s the native Twitch link, for those who prefer that: Haiku development: Cache kernel thread stacks.

Hi Augustin. It was enlightening to see how you set up your dev environment for kernel debugging, most mortals dont have insight how to debug a booting kernel.

I loved the nature sound in the background, very Zen like. Was that real or artificial?
