When they were installing the alarm at my house I noticed that the main guy had nextcloud on his phone and it sparked a nice conversation about privacy. He has no technical background but managed to self-host it on his old laptop with one of those distros that have an easy UI for self-hosting (don’t remember which one exactly). He’s a pretty cool guy.
Got myself an Eaton as many of you suggested. The fan is noisy af but I can probably replace it, other than that it’s perfect.
From neutral to ground there seems to be just some noise and a bit of DC.
Yes, I tried different outlets, doesn’t make a difference. I checked the wiring inside the plug too, the connection seems solid.
I tested live to ground, live to neutral, both in and out of the UPS, and I couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
The input signal isn’t a clean sine wave but it’s not dirty either, I’d say it’s sine with some extra harmonics and a little bit of noise. There were no sudden peaks or meaningful variations even while the UPS was switching furiously.
I don’t have CFL bulbs, only LEDs. I can’t think of anything else that could be causing interference. I’ll try contacting the power company as suggested by @glimse@lemmy.world
Thanks for all the replies.
For me it was a combination of factors: Windows has been going down the shitter for at least 10 years now, FOSS software has been getting better and better, and I’ve learned to use more FOSS tools as I grew tired of dealing with Windows.
If I had to point at one project that made me go “Wow, this is amazing”, I’d say ffmpeg. Even in my Windows days, I’ve always enjoyed digital preservation, when I discovered ffmpeg around 2015 it was an eye opener, so many features, so many options, I’ve been using it on a daily basis ever since.
It’s extremely easy to set up with docker, I’ve been using a self-hosted instance for about 2 years now. Contact me if you need help setting it up or if you just want to test it.
Hardware requirements depend on how many users will be using it, I use an old i3 NUC as a home server and it can easily handle a room with a dozen people, especially if it’s just audio, it gets heavier on the CPU if a lot of them have their webcams on but generally speaking if you have a decent internet connection you’ll be fine.
Follow these instructions: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-docker/ You will need to set up HTTPS unless you’re already using a reverse proxy.
Italy - 35€/mo, 1Gbps down, 300Mbps up, unlimited. Goes down at least once a month though, openfiber sucks
As far as I know this is no longer a problem if your system supports hardware video encoding for the video codec (vp8/9 or h264 based on server configuration and browser support).
That’s completely false. The connection between users and the server is encrypted with HTTPS and you can even turn on end to end encryption if you want. Jitsi doesn’t even work over unencrypted HTTP.
The first time I heard about programming being obsolete was when I was taught UML in university. That was over almost 15 years ago and it didn’t happen, if anything programmers now also had to know UML, which isn’t all that bad but it definitely didn’t replace anything, it’s just useful for designing and documenting projects.
I also heard from colleagues that in the 80s and 90s people said that SQL was supposed to be used by users directly, making (some) programming obsolete.
Now AI bullshit claims to be making programming obsolete. I won’t hold my breath.
