"Rwy'n hoffi chi. Dych chi eisiau mynd i'r caffi gyda mi am baned o goffi?"

=

"I like you. Do you want to go to the café with me to have a cup of coffee?"

I'm still learning Welsh, so this might contain mistakes, but it's better than saying you don't understand her... For future reference, you know.

Edit: Meant to reply to the comment below me.

I'm just adding an additional source, because I just recently read about this way of using the forward slash to create abbreviations. English Language & Usage has a good post on Stackexchange. Wikipedia says they are used for "two-letter initialisms" (a type of abbreviation). Wikipedia also provides some more examples, see here.

You'll need long eyeballs to use them, though.

Thanks for the idea. I tried Handbrake to decrease the video quality and it seemed to work well. Also, getting rid of audio also gets rid of a big chunk of data, decreasing the file size.

Top left, blinds down, is obviously a vampire.

You're right. I'll just go with a cloud storage provider then, other than Google. My main concern is privacy, yes. I recently got rid of my Youtube account, which had accumulated a little too much information about me for my liking. But returning to cloud storage, If I use shareable links for friends and de-share the videos when done, I don't think they'll leak outside of said cloud storage provider.

I found peertube.io which has an unlimited upload quota... I think?

[–] lapislazuli@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Okay, I might give PeerTube another try.

Thanks for your input and apologies if my question is a bit vague.

I'm primarily looking for a service, but might be interested in self-hosting in the future. I don't have experience with self-hosting, but I suppose it could be an option in the future. I found a website about video CMS's which require self-hosting. However, I don't plan on sharing a lot of content, just an occasional video every now and then. As for accessibility of the videos, I'd make them available for anyone with a link.

I also looked at other cloud storage options and found IceDrive, a paid service. I think it has video playback but I'm not sure. I've heard about it before and the price is affordable enough for me to give it a try. It has client-side encryption which is good.

EDIT: sorry for uttering the forbidden phrase 'paid service'.

Just don't add any random numbers to the name, which I see you haven't done, so I think you're good.

Thank you. I've tried it on desktop and I like it. I'm looking for a phone app for this use case (such as translating product labels when shopping).
