In an ideal world I would be encouraging Guix to be operating its own 
Peertube instance,
so that the aforementioned videos can be operating within the Fediverse:
https://joinpeertube.org/
https://docs.joinpeertube.org/

Alas, looking at the list of dependencies makes me wonder how long this 
would take:
https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/package.json#L86
https://docs.joinpeertube.org/support/doc/dependencies#other-distributions

It would be nice if there was an alternative Peertube instance 
technology in a language we have more comprehensive packaging (than 
Typescript).
I havent heard of anything, hopefully something will pop up during 
FOSDEM/OFFDEM, Brussels.
There should be enough Fediverse technologists at Caldarium (who will be 
hosting us for the Guix Days dinner on the Friday),
I shall try to remember to ask people.
