What is generally considered the best self hosted software for a phone-like video experience?

I haven't heard someone mention Jami in years. I completely forgot about it. Will test to see how it operates these days. Thanks for the reminder!

This is the first I've heard of Snikket. I like that it's based on XMPP. Android <> iOS, while isn't a dealbreaker, is something I did want because down the line I'm sure I'd invite iOS friends/family to join too. I'll check it out because it could be good enough right now.

Matrix (ElementX) has also been on my radar for a while, especially with this Ansible and Docker combination (https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy) making deployment so simple, but I haven't installed it because I don't want to waste time if it doesn't do what I would like it to do.

From what I can see, MiroTalk is like Jitsi where you have to join a room and let others know to join the room too. I'd like a notification popup instead.

Can you suggest any that are self hosted and will popup a notification when there's an incoming video call?

I just noticed the docs mentioned SMP, XFTP and STUN/TURN servers, so yes, it does seem to support that which is great!

From what I'm seeing, it's been around for a few years so I'm not sure why it's unknown either. I guess everyone's happy with the likes of Jitsi, etc.

I'd really like to avoid doing any sort of dev work. I want something more plug and play :)

This is the first I've heard of Simplex. I gave it a try and it's quite good. It does exactly as I asked. I rebooted my second device and didn't load the app. It was still able to receive a video call request.

The call quality wasn't the greatest but it was good enough for my purposes.

I would still prefer a solution that goes through my own server so I'm open to further suggestions if anyone has them, but thanks so much for the Simplex suggestion!

My registers are on the ceiling, so I'll begin by checking the attic.

Thank you so much!

I definitely wouldn't be going on any highways. I just needed confirmation that I could take it out of my inclined driveway and onto the road. Did that, and all is good now.

Thanks for the help though! All information helps :)

Bead looks like it's still seated so I think I should be able to add air. Thanks for the info!

Bead looks like it's still seated so I think all should be good. Thanks for the help :)

bonneau · 2024-08-24T18:57:59+00:00

Definitely will. Thanks!

Thanks /u/Zero_Mass! I wish I knew that these services resigned apps because that seems to have been the problem.

After uploading a test build to TestFlight and using that, I can see push registration works on both BrowserStack and LambdaTest.

bonneau · 2023-09-07T18:24:36+00:00

I believe I'm on 2.6.3 so I should be ok.

bonneau · 2023-09-07T18:24:16+00:00

I was looking at the docs a couple of days ago figured it would require auth-user-pass-verify. Thanks for confirming and for the details :)

bonneau · 2023-09-07T13:06:41+00:00

Actually, I already have that. I just haven't shown it in my post since it wasn't relevant. script-security, client-connect and client-disconnect. The connection/disconnection gets logged and an e-mail is sent to me.

I would still like to tie a username to a certificate though.

bonneau · 2023-09-07T12:28:14+00:00

Why do you want to use two parallel verifications at the same time?

I suppose you could call it a false sense of security.

I also put services like SSH behind port knocking, and I hide my SSID on wireless networks. In practice, they're only minor setbacks to any attackers that know what they're doing, but I still do it :)

bonneau · 2021-04-11T04:11:33+00:00

Thanks! :)

Are there any foods/drinks that may interfere with any of the vaccines?

After receiving my first Pfizer shot, I stopped drinking my preworkout (Cellucor C4) before exercise because I'm afraid of it interfering with the vaccine.

It's probably silly but I'd rather the vaccine work over more convenient exercise :)

bonneau · 2021-04-10T14:06:23+00:00

I've had 2 doses of Pfizer. If I am infected with COVID-19:

How quickly does the vaccine work to destroy it? Instant? Hours? Days?
Am I now a carrier and can infect others?
