All this talk about Discord replacements plus my own experience attempting to host a Synapse has got me wondering why it seems so hard to implement voice chat.

Stupid idea: back in 2022 I got an Asterisk server working on a raspberry pi over AREDN without too much trouble. What’s stopping people from just using a PBX like that for voice chat?

    If you go with anything using livekit (stoat/revolt , lasuite meet), voice is not very hard per se (just a bunch of udp ports required).

    It’s video that will get your CPU to its knees

      I just can’t get over the name change from Revolt to Stoat, but at least a stoat is cute AF.

        Cease and desisted, but yeah it’s sad (and annoying code-wise because you have to rename everything)
