Not direct streaming, you need usenet.

No?

I think if you want to copy a specific selection to a mouse-based, different program then it makes sense to use the mouse for precision selection.

Ahh those fuckers.

Especially if you buy access via 2 providers on different backbones. Haven’t had a single failed/incomplete download since.

I’m slightly younger than that even, currently finishing up my master’s but have been working as a backend dev for a couple of years.

I’ve learned an order of magnitude more about networking from just being in the vicinity of my girlfriend (who is a network technician) than from uni, and it’s definitely already paying off.

+1 from me.

The Shield is a couple years old, but it handles everything you throw at it perfectly.

• get SmartTubeNext to watch YouTube without ads, and it comes with SponsorBlock
• use Flauncher for a home screen / launcher without any ads
• Jellyfin, obviously
• Steamlink also works perfectly
• plus, the remote is amazing (though I would recommend to either disable or rebind the Netflix button)

Inhave the original A5 from Supernote, and while the device still works just fine after 5 years (also I think I never had to change a nib even once), I’ve grown disillusioned with the company.

It came down to the A5 or the rM2 for me hack then. I liked everything about the A5 better, EXCEPT that the rM2 allowed you to mod it and access it via SSH.

The A5 runs on a slim version of Linux. So I asked Supernote if they’d consider opening SSH for users. And they said “Yes! It’s actually in our roadmap for the next release!”

And that’s been the answer I’ve been getting for the past 5 years. The last update for the device was about 3 years ago.

I love that the tablet is running plain Linux, but it suuuuuucks that I can’t use it to its full potential because the sync options suck.

How did I not know this?? Thanks!

I know it’s been three weeks, but thanks for telling me about this! I might actually do this, for the projects here and there which aren’t packaged into nixpkgs (yet).

Thanks for the suggestion, I must say though, I am very happily de-googled :D

Thanks for the recommendation! Looks like a great option. Actually, the p2p aspect prompted me to have another look at the Jitsi docs, and lo and behold, there’s an option for that, as long as no more than 2 people participate in a chat… (The reason I’d prefer Jitsi is actually just that NixOS comes with options for jitsi out of the box, for Miro I would have to introduce containers into my setup :D)

Yeah, I think it’s overkill, plus needing an account will likely lead to issues (login difficulties, forgotten password,…) compared to “just click this link”. But thanks for the recommendation anyways, I did not know NC comes with video chat!

Thanks for the experience report! Would you say that you’re happy with the video and audio quality and latency?

Yeah, I am havong mixed feelings about this. But at least during Covid, it was apparently the norm, so it must work, somehow…

I could find a teacher closer to me, but for one thing, I only have a boke available, and biking ~10km with the cello on my back is not something I look forward to doing on a regular basis. The other thing is that I consider this teacher a friend, she’s given me lessonsfor more than a decade in the past, and I know we vibe well together.

Yeah, those are all fair points. We’ve been using Jitsi for work with pretty much no problems, albeit in group calls where video and audio quality don’t matter too much. Someone below gave some good recommendations for hardware as well.

The helpdesk issue… IDK. If Jitsi works, it is incredibly easy to use, right? Basically just, click this link and you’re in. (If does some heavy lifting there, I know :D)

THank you for the suggestion! It looks like a great option for playing together. I must say though, what would probably kill it for me/my teacher is the complexity of the setup. Separate video, and from the docs, it seems like a bit of an involved setup to get good results?

Besides, we will probably not be playing together at all 😅

Oh wow, someone with the exact same usecase!! :D

Thank you for the hardware recommendations. Tbh that is not something I have put any thought into yet.

Can I ask you, is the UMC204HD necessary only because you have to mics, or would you recommend something like it regardless?

I have been thinking of just using a pair of headphones with built-in mic for talking/hearing my teacher, but yeah, it seems like at least something additional for the cello would be beneficial. Do you have any experiences with pick-up mics for the cello? I saw that there are some comparatively well-priced options around

It’s definitely the fallback option if DIY doesn’t pan out. The no-filtering can definitely also be enabled in the Jitsi config, so at least in that regards I’m not too worried.

Throughout the pandemic I’ve largely been able to avoid both Teams and Zoom, but Zoom did cause a number of problems on Linux, so I’m not too hyped to give it another try :/
