A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Hmm, it looks like people have "live" sites up that are at least reachable and they aren't streaming currently. Did I misread how Owncast works, or is there something else going on here with these sites?
As for running it during my stream (once I move out of my current apartment), I could have my laptop running Owncast possibly.
So when you go to the page that's offline, that's because the Owncast software is up and running as a webserver. I've seen some folks that take the entire page down when they're not streaming. Really only difference is if there's a landing page there when you're not streaming or not.
I wonder if it would be possible to set up something that 307's to a static page when I'm not live
Edit: another concern is that in running it from my laptop, would I have to go through port forwarding so that a DNS provider can connect with the owncast instance? Because while I'm not completely averse to it (unless someone has an opsec reason for not doing so and has a better alternative), it's a lot of work and will absolutely have to be something I do after I move out of my current place
I honestly have no clue. I'm not a web person. I don't like this stuff. I'm a backend nerd. :D Bunch of these Fediverse apps I can't even get running. Just do what I can where I can. :-)
