What is the practical limit of users in a #Jitsi video meeting, these days? It used to be between half a dozen and a full dozen, but I've not used Jitsi in bigger meetings in the past couple of years.
Aus gerade aktuellen persönlichen Anlass möchte ich euch alle bitten: Benutzt kein #Zoom.
Ladet Dritte nicht in #Zoomkonferenz|en ein, haltet keine Vorträge mittels dieser Plattform und führt keine Interviews darüber. Nutzt freie Alternativen wie #BigBlueButton oder #Jitsi.
Eine gute Zusammenfassung zu all den Problemen, die Zoom mit sich bringt, hat @padeluun bei den letzten #BigBrotherAwards von @digitalcourage bei seiner Laudatio gegeben.
Not once did I say that running Owncast is expensive. The server software itself isn’t costly to run, and doesn’t require much in the way of hardware specs.
I said that video is expensive. Which it typically is, especially compared to text, photos, audio, etc.
Now if @owncast knows of ways to save on the cost of video, I’m sure everyone would like to learn how. Because it’s not just me who’s concerned about the cost of video. It’s a whole lot of people who would be running an Owncast server but haven’t yet.
So tell me how to do it. If I’m streaming all my video games, I’d rather use #Owncast than #Twitch.
Live-streaming can be expensive & easily skyrocket the cost of hosting (depending on the video quality). I currently rely on #Vimeo & #Youtube as I can afford those, but high quality live streaming is sadly beyond my budget.
I am trying to convince a large community, running regular online meditation/webinars (non-religious, though) via Zoom, to change into some other platform. They say:
Since we often have more than 300 people (and for some events, up to 1000) simulcasting from all over the globe, stability and accessibility has become our biggest concern, because without it our ability to consistently relax into ritual space with people of varying levels of access is severed instantly.
Would it be possible to fulfill such needs with a self-hosted Jitsi instance? Or perhaps some other Platform? What kind of hosting would be needed for that?
ich hab einen lustigen Bug: Ich hab gestern Updates installiert und war während dem Update noch in einem Call. Bin dann irgendwann rausgeflogen und als Jisti wieder da war, neu connected. Jetzt hab ich aber zwei Phantomuser die wohl beim Upgrade nicht sauber terminiert wurden und dauerhaft in meinem Call hängen :D
Wie bekomme ich die weg? Weder Jitsi Restart noch server reboot hat geholfen
#Zoom: What's yours is mine, and what's mine is my mine too.
Zoom is a proprietary service. You can't download the Zoom software, set up your own Zoom server and host a Zoom conference. Their software is theirs. Yet they use dozens of software packages developed by the Free Software community to run their service:
I understand the reason for this - organization and coordination are difficult tasks. And the team responsible for resolving conflicts should not itself be a source of misunderstanding and conflict.
For this purpose #discord is a very useful, but flawed tool. And alternatives (e.g. #Matrix, #IRC, #Email and #Jitsi) have their own issues - some are just down to network effects, others actually lack features making them less useful for coordination.
bread from @CommunityKitchenNOLA
pickles dumpstered from Trader Joes
eggs from chickens that live at #LitterBay
pesto that I made from basil grown in a community garden down the street (with dumpstered cheese and mixed nuts recovered from Fresh Market with @divtech)
lettuce grown by my roommate in the garden next to the kichen
hot sauce was the only ingredient included that was bought
How we ran a 300+ attendee conference online using an open source stack including tech like #Jitsi, #PeerTube, and #Matrix / #Element - and attendees had a great experience!

You don't even have to register an account (unless you need persistent rooms). Just visit https://senfcall.de/en/ - klick on "start meeting", enter meeting name (password optional), press "start" enter your name and have fun senfing. The call-invite link you find at the top of the chat.
@senfcall Welcome to the Fediverse and thank you for what you're doing with #BigBlueBotton! I am new to it, but was somewhat familiar with #Jitsi already. I'd be open to any thoughts you may have on comparison between the two. (It's great we have two open source video calling ecosystems now!)
