Decentralized alternatives

Introduction

Welcome to this Decentralize All Things wiki.

This editable wiki page is similar to a comment but anyone can edit and contribute, including adding internal links (include the entire SaidIt html path) and external links to other websites.

Assistance with SaidIt Markdown code formatting can be found on this https://SaidIt.net/wiki/Commenting wiki page for common issues to advanced techniques.

If this wiki page grows too unwieldy then sub-pages can be made for specific topics. If this wiki page grows excessively unwieldy we may use the uncensored WikiSpooks.com and/or InfoGalactic.com wikis to add and curate content and/or do non-encyclopedic open-wiki-projects in coordination with SaidIt and this SaidIt forum.

This Decentralize All Things subsaidit has been configured in a Brave browser. If you see any anomalies or ways to improve it please contact a moderator. Thanks in advance.

Self hosting guide

Some options for exposing your local services to the internet include:

• A dynamic DNS service like http://www.duckdns.org (free)
  • must configure port forwarding on your router
• Paid proxy services
  • https://ngrok.com
  • https://pagekite.net
• Self-hosted proxy services
  • Need a second server with a static ip address, e,g, a cheap VPS
  • https://github.com/fatedier/frp
  • https://github.com/pagekite/PyPagekite

Domain names can be pointed to your services by configuring their `CNAME`.

Paywall alternatives list

Ryan Dawson has gone through hell being censored.

In his interview with the Halsey News Network "Radio Free America (Episode 268): Social Censorship (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq_2W8_oDHE)" (2019-03-04) @ around 1:40:00 they discuss who he's ruled out and the solution he goes with now. He finally set up a paywall through Cleeng after trying Muvi and Wistia and other stuff.

Cleeng

• https://Cleeng.com
• Cleeng is a company based in the Netherlands that does nothing but payment processing. Subscriber Retention Management™ Designed For OTT. Most advanced APIs for maximum modularity and OTT efficiency. "Cleeng Core enables you to build a comprehensive OTT video platform and manages all aspects of subscriber management for you.

Muvi

• https://www.muvi.com

Wistia

• https://wistia.com

See also: https://DuckDuckGo.com/?q=video+paywall+services
