A livestream is built up of a few components. The inputs, the outputs, and the endpoints. Your inputs are your cameras, microphones, screen captures, video games, and guests. Your outputs are your video quality, keyframes, and rtmp URL’s to stream to. The endpoints ar…

We are currently rolling out our own custom server architecture. We use AMD Ryzen 9 processors and Kingston memory (We found NEMIX memory is a little unreliable). You also want to use server grade motherboards for the IPMI capability. We ran servers for a while with des…

The parallel economy is building and we need to pay attention. There will be a black/grey market that exists, because there will have to be. When I lived in Cuba, Syria, and Iraq, there was always a black market. The regular market never had everything you needed, so yo…
