My brother recently expressed interest in remotely watching me play some of my older games (after a weekend of PS2 gaming together). I grabbed an HDMI-capture dongle for the dual purpose of recording gameplay (for personal use) and enabling him to watch.

Now the dilemma: what platform do I use for streaming? I'm not entirely keen on Twitch/Youtube because I'm hippie trash, so I've been looking at open source alternatives like Owncast instead.

It is taking all my willpower to restrain myself from using this an excuse to learn Elixir and build my own shitty streaming platform...
