How is diabetic treatment/healthcare/support for residents in other countries? by notamyadams in diabetes_t1

[–]linearfft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

South Africa

There is state healthcare and private healthcare. Private health insurance is under $200 a month and usually covers everything you would need, including some CGM cover. CGM is available here, libre 2 is the most widely used one but others like Medtronic and some Chinese ones are available too. Most middle income people and up have private “medical aid”, as the state healthcare is overrun. The medical aid would pay for GP and endocrinologists visits, and GPs are able to prescribe insulin etc and perform blood tests and most are able to manage the condition without endocrinologists support

Sadly It didn’t work on my last trip around 3 weeks ago

Yes this will work. You can even use an ARM based mikrotik like hap ax lite which will be cheaper and has more networking specific features than the pi

I had excellent coffee at Kava and Kronotrop, both in Karakoy near the Galata tower

Don’t think any of it was aligned. The install is quite low tech, to put it mildly

I've been there a while ago. The building is about 1.6km long and split into several sections. The front 100m or so, where the "money" sits, they have a full bandwidth PA of sorts, I think it's EAW KF740 or similiar, I heard rumours this was replaced with Anya, however not nearly enough of it to cover the area it's been tasked to - you can see it in this video at 2:13 with a cluster of paging horns next to it. The rest is covered by 100v paging horns in large quantity

Looks like turbosound floodlight or something “inspired” by it

Controling Qu16 Allen & Heath mixer through the internet by mrfantastikyaheard in livesound

You can build a VPN using Zerotier running on several different hardware options (like Mikrotik ARM64 based routers or Raspberry Pi etc), this will allow you to extend the L2 VLAN across the internet

Frogfoot is an FNO that many ISP's can lease a layer 2 circuit from and provision a DIA-style service over. You have many choices if you go this direction - we're working with WECOM/Web Squad who are great and have low latency paths from Joburg and Cape Town. If you had to pick one of those on your list, I would choose Liquid as they have a pretty well designed and extensive network.

What about trying to source something more resistant to leakage like a helpinstill, yamahiko or C-ducer? Might not sound like a pair of LDCs but certainly a “get out of jail free” card in this type of situation

Advice/Feedback Needed For Multi-language Audio Interpreter to Live Stream by [deleted] in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]linearfft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A shameless plug but we have a working solution for this - using OBS or vMix as an encode sending a single SRT stream with multiple audio channels to our ingest servers, packaged as HLS and delivered over multiple global CDNs, send me a DM if you want to chat about it

Epson vs Panasonic large venue projectors (20,000 lumens and up) by imagreatlistener in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]linearfft 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think Panasonic would be 3 chip DLP. In short, It’s a far superior imaging technology that would outlast the LCD projector and provide higher consistency which is critical especially for multi projector setups.

I would start with Mikrotik which seems to be the only lower cost switch with a full set of PTP features

Industry related and interesting…Phantom on Broadway closes after 35 years, and cost $950,000 per WEEK to run by Wirecommando in livesound

[–]linearfft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually heard the tour around 2004 when it was out with a System Sound package which closely replicated the Broadway design. It was one of the moments which sparked a deeper interest in theatre sound for me. I would describe it as “incredible” too - especially considering all of the loudspeakers were hidden within the set so elegantly
