Nighed

Follow up question for voice/video servers in general.

If I want to host a server that allows video calls, do I need GPU hardware acceleration?

Looks like they got caught out by this all too, they are asking for another month or so to get a refactor in.

Everyone was dead there, hopefully as people seem to be alive here it might be more.... Alive.

That's the opposite of how I would understand it though. If you said a passive RCE I would understand that as it being run without me doing anything - in this case, just having notepad open making me vulnerable.

Nepal or something wasn't it?

If I understand correctly, they recently rebuilt all of the voice/video stuff. Video should be coming soon, it's more of a resourcing issue for their servers.

I looked at self hosting, but it's a bit of a mess currently.

I'm in the UK though, so they imply they may (already or in teh future) need to verify my age anyway.

They don't seem to have a great out of box experience currently, will require some more poking around.

I'm going to try self hosting https://stoat.chat/ not sure it has screen sharing yet, but apparently they just re-wrote all their voice/video stuff, so it should be available soon.

I played around for a while with Blazor (C# Web assembly) and wasn't a massive fan.

The debugging experience was awful.

Lots of runtime gotchas, it's limited to one thread, so anything that creates a thread will fail at runtime (but not 'normal' async stuff). What code creates a thread? No idea until it fails at runtime.

Yes, you can share a dto project between front end and backend, but anything else will eventually trip you up.

It's still a cool idea though, will try it again at some point.

I thought the aluminium was fine conductivity wise, the problem is that it oxidises and becomes brittle.

Every time a BT man went into the box, it was russian roulette as to whose internet would get broken.

There is also https://wandrer.earth/ (not federated) that is really cool. It gives you points for each unique mile you have been, encourages you to explore new places.
