Impressive.

Now enjoy the power brick roulette. My work laptop charger (dell) won’t do anything more than trickle charge anything else (other than my girlfriend’s Mac?!). I had to buy a new brick to get something that appears to charge everything at each devices rated speed.
Being able to charge a laptop from my monitor using the same cable that handles the display output and peripherals is cool though! (But that DOESN’T work on a Mac… It won’t pass the keyboard through!)
“Standards”!


It really depends on the community to be fair. Smaller ones feel more like here.
At that point, why not just be here though.


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.


I thought they did a complete rewrite of the voice/video stuff?


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.


Seems to be under active development?


Probably worth adding a disclaimer with matrix, that if you self host, DON’T federate. Apparently their abuse management is awful and you get all kinds of shit sent to you which is hard to remove.


Can that be disabled?
It’s ZA! Good luck convincing the south Africans though 🤣
I once worked in a company doing business in both SA and ZA, lots of confusion.




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.


It’s an amazing castle, but it needs some work. None of the info boards were readable, and the website their QR codes pointed at was dead.
They also had a cafe/toilets that was marked on the maps, but looked like it had been closed for ages.


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.


If they are twit-twoo owls, listen to where the sounds come from, it will be from a pair, with one going twit and the other going too.
Most tier lists are probably paid
