Reflection
Services on eom.dev were first deployed at the beginning of 2025. Over the past year, I have developed the following basic workflow on this platform:
- Live streams are hosted on Owncast using OBS
- Stream recordings are uploaded to MinIO and YouTube
- MinIO URLs are embedded into posts on Discourse and Gitea
- I engage with external communities using Mastodon and Matrix
In this stream, I am reviewing the products of that workflow and analyzing their performance in the content marketplace.
