Yeah, screensharing is not a thing in most clients, but I think it’s a matter of time (years?) before it’s properly implemented. In the meantime, you can use jitsi meet? Not sure if it covers your use case. I’ll just copy this reddit comment, which has some good info:

Yes, it’s possible, but with some limitations. For video calls between a Linux and a Windows client using ejabberd, you need an XMPP client that supports WebRTC. Some options: • Dino (Linux) – Supports video calls but no screen sharing. • Gajim (Linux/Windows) – Can do video calls with plugins, but no screen sharing. • Jitsi (XMPP mode) – Supports WebRTC and screen sharing but requires a separate Jitsi server. Since most XMPP clients don’t natively support screen sharing, you have two main options: 1. Use Jitsi Meet, which integrates with XMPP and allows both video calls and screen sharing. 2. Use OBS VirtualCam (on Windows) to share the screen as a “camera” in a video call. If you want a fully functional setup with both video calls and screen sharing, setting up Jitsi Meet with ejabberd is the best approach.

Works fine. A bit slow to load, but less than 10s. Media plays just fine :)

I started self-hosting xmpp recently, and the calls work perfectly! You don’t need to self-host either, there are plenty of public servers.

I feel like this is a case of xkcd 810

Unfortunately, Firefox runs very poorly on that phone. Via browser works well, so I guess I can try that. But who am I kidding, I’ll keep using the app, because it’s convenient and it works well. I’ll just have to endure the red warning :P

(It is an old phone, so I’m not too worried about possible security issues)

Well, as everything, it is safe is you do it right. If you are just starting, you could try running some services in LAN, or if you don’t have the hardware, a cheap VPS with VPN or some other tunneling. That way, you’re not exposing your data to the wider internet.

Of course, you should keep backups of everything you deem important, and once you start feeling more comfortable, you may try opening up your services with a reverse proxy (caddy, nginx) and some authentication (authelia, authentik). You can try hosting simple things, things that expect to be open to the internet, like a game server.

If you’re limited by your hardware, you can start planning to buy something bigger. But I don’t recommend it to just get started; you can do a lot of learning with basic hardware (and the prices are crazy right now too).

Edit: seconded what ghost_laptop said, an e-mail server is kind of the hardest there is for self-hosting. There are solutions like mailcow, but even that is very hard to set up.

The circus continues 🤡.

This time, the judge Peinado (who has unsuccessfully tried for two years to send the Prime Minister’s wife to prison), opened yet a new line of inquiry and said that she is at high risk for leaving the country, because “the status of Prime Minister is ephemeral and the police could help her escape”.

Of course, the police has asked the judge to take that claim back, and even said they would sue for defamation if he doesn’t.

At this point, one has to wonder how a judge can abuse his power like this for years, and no-one can do anything about it. Disgusting.

PTB.
I don’t know who’s in the right history-wise, and I appreciate pugjesus’ posts and explanations.
But in this case it feels to me like it was just an interesting argument until he decided to call you a dipshit and a moron (and then ban you). Smh.

0.5c = 0.25m + 0.25h and you don’t need to normalize.

I realized right after I posted, and it annoys me as well…

But I can say I did check prior to posting, and they were the same darker shade.

…or were they? 😝

Quake maps are sexy

The speed of sound of the material. So, if the stick is made of steel, it’d be like ~6000m/s. Which is way faster than the speed of sound in air, but not even close to the speed of light.

I see your point. Still, it shows there’s no such thing as a “super duper stick” because there’d be shearing forces pulling the atoms apart faster than they can move together.

It’s actually simpler: the stick will deform because whatever movement you do travels across the stick at the speed of sound of the material the stick is made out of.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Do you know why we stopped the car? 🎵

That’s a good idea until you download a 10GB file and you wonder why you’re out of RAM :P

I use /tmp as a temp folder for yt-dlp (it is faster than an HDD when adding metadata and subs to the video), and I’ve ran out of RAM before by downloading a video too big… Silly me, my laptop only has 8GB.

Nah, I also do; arch on my desktop and laptop, debian on my server.

Unless… we’re both weird… I mean, I’m also weird… but because of unrelated reasons?
