Qatar’s ghost flights – an open secret within the aviation sector – are “taking the piss” out of Australia’s strict aviation laws, industry sources say, and are occurring despite the Albanese government rejecting the airline’s formal request to increase flights out of concern the extra capacity would go against Australia’s “national interest”.

Honestly, I don’t blame Qatar Airways. Good on them for getting around this protectionist nonsense policy.

Air travel is already quite expense and carbon heavy. Actively blocking routes makes the system less efficient, expensive, and will emit more carbon. Isn’t that also against Australia’s “national interest”?

Its a separate platform. It could be used to cache YT videos but that’s not its primary purpose.

Partially correct. You can self host peertube instances. What differentiates it from YouTube is:

• Instances can share their video lists with other instances via ActivityPub. Even to Mastodon and Lemmy.
• PeerTube video player is peer to peer. You can download the video from the server directly or from another peer watching the same video. This may be helpful for livestreams.

I might be too pedantic, but Odysee/LBRY is a blockchain-based decentralized network. But its not federated and it doesn’t use activitypub like Lemmy and mastodon. I would only call Peertube to be part of the fediverse.

I doubt this is true. The hull is made out of carbon fiber. It doesn’t “crack”, it shatters.

That’s weird, I removed the link formatting and now it works on Jerboa. But yeah, that’s what I meant, Thanks!
