How is it air gapped and federated? Do you unairgap it periodically for a refresh then reairgap it? I’ve not heard of airgapped federated servers before and am intrigued. Is it purely for security purposes or also bandwidth savings? Are there other reasons one may want to run an air gapped instance?
Is it because video hosting is substantially more expensive than mostly text and some images (Lemmy and Mastodon) that it brings out that kind of behavior? As in they have more skin in the game so they try to protect it more? Any thoughts on the new Loops platform? Is it suffering from the same issues?
Username checks out
But it’s not PeerTube, it’s ABC’s PeerTube and BCD’s PeerTube and CDE’s PeerTube, etc.
I’m not opposed to a microservice that indexes the fediverse for creating a robust search index. Without it, you’d have to nearly search each server on each service.
PeerTube doesn’t have search at all? Yea that is kind of nuts. I’ve had bad search experience across Lemmy and Mastodon as well. I wonder how much is due to decentralized nature of the servers, the federation aspect, or just poor search functionality.
You say that yet Google search / Internet search is very much a big thing. For the record, I agree with you.
Then I’m not sure what point you were trying to make in the above conversation lol.
