Oooh, thanks, now I finally understand what this is about. Maybe it is a language/cultural difference or something, but the whole “sperm = child” thing never clicked for me. Isn’t, if anything, the egg more properly a stand-in for a future child? And even then, only if fertilised, of course.

I dead-ass looked at this for almost a minute wondering if it’s maybe a pop culture reference to a TV show or movie I don’t know, where the pictured character actually eats children.

Oh, was it planned to post this on the 17th of June? Or just an interesting coincidence?

Wow, that is a useless headline, I was wondering - how is that different than any other day there? Did something special happen with the tourists? Did they clog up the entry in a way that the Louvre had to shut down?

No, it was in fact not the tourists shutting down anything, it was a strike, the workers using the power they have:

On Monday, staff at the world’s most-visited museum went on strike, forcing the museum to close its doors over concerns about the effects of mass tourism, according to the Associated Press.

[…]

The shutdown followed a weekend of protests against tourism that spread across Europe. In Spain, travelers hanging out at popular tourist destinations were drenched by demonstrators armed with water guns. Mass demonstrations also broke out in Mallorca, Venice, Italy, and Portugal’s capital of Lisbon, per the AP, with locals leading chants like “Everywhere you look, all you see are tourists.”

So while it is in connection to actions against tourism, the headline really makes it sound, like it’s more a “bizzarre thing involving tourists happening” thing, not a strike.

So this is a bit of self-promotion, but I can’t think of a better way to link all of them in a neat way: Almost all the channels I recommend (excluding some that are on instances that did not allow mine to follow them, which makes the channel cards not load properly, sadly) are on the landing/home page of my instance, in no particular order:

Follow this link for the overview! - of course you can interact and follow from other instances (including other services like Mastodon). Lemmy does not work properly for following PeerTube channels in my experience, though - don’t know about Piefed and mbin.

You can find a similar collection of channels on the landing page of peertube.wtf as well as a collection in a sticke post on !peertube@lemmy.wtf. too.

Yesterday, the big Framasoft AMA was happening over on !opensource@lemmy.ml and I was promoting it on mastodon, because Framasoft and PeerTube are awesome.

They announced, that they would start answering questions at 5pm CET. When that time came around, a few minutes in, there were no answers yet. I got so uncertain about it all, that I was sure, I had to have gotten something wrong in my own mastodon post, leading to me editing it twice, once assuming I must have gotten CET and CEST mixed up, and then editing it back, because of course I was just overwhelmed by the idea, that it may take a few minutes to actually start answering.

Not part of Framasoft, but I am administrating a PeerTube platform/instance myself, and can anecdotally say, that it works rather well. Another factor is, that as an admin, you can set up to automatically mirror videos on other instances, when they meet certain criteria.

For example, I have ~300GB set aside to mirror trending, new and most-watched videos of some instances, that I consider to have quality (EDIT: and reliably non-illegal) content regularily (e.g. spectra.video, makertube.net, peertube.wtf, etc.) That way, in addition to just users watching videos acting as a seeding peer via webtorrent, my own dedicated server in Finland among other professional servers with large bandwith also add to the resilience of the network, even for smaller instances.

Anecdotally, I have also heard of some people running a PeerTube instance successfully from just a SBC, like a RaspPi or similar, from home, utilising the WebTorrent integratio you mentioned EDIT: As I have learned, while they are using P2P connections, it is no longer the WebTorrent protocol to their advantage. Here’s a video I remember talking about this as an example.
