This morning it occurred to me that it’s time to take the site online, as in expose it to the internet. I’m comfortable enough with my security, the main reason being that I don’t expect many, if any, visitors to this site. While the domain will be publically accessable, it’s not going to be widely promoted. If that day ever comes, it’ll be easy enough to move this WordPress installation to another machine.

Streaming Possibilities
Using Owncast, a self-hosted streaming solution, I’m able to host an OBS stream. I’ve only tested it on my local network, but I think it’ll be fine over the internet. It’ll be available at dumbleigh.com/stream.
Owncast is running on my 8gb Raspberry Pi. It features a basic system monitor, and I observed about 70% CPU usage while streaming what I think was a 720p stream. While it was functional, I doubt it’s a good solution long-term. The next testing will be a higher bit rate, higher resolution stream.
update
I tried a 4mpbs, 1080p game stream this morning with limited success. While the stream would play, it was very unstable. It suffered from very high latency, stuttering, low frame rate, and even complete dropouts. I monitored the processor and still only observed about 70% usage. However, the Owncast error log showed, I think, that my hardware video acceleration wasn’t working. This seems to be related to an incompatibility between Ubuntu 64bit and Openmax. So that has to be remedied and then more testing can be done.
