Update: they have a very active github for the desktop app, and they had a fix almost immediately. There are webAPI calls that can be appended to the end of the meeting link before starting. If your link for example is "https://meet.jit.si/myLesson" you can append the following string:
#config.disableAP=true&config.disableAEC=true&config.disableNS=true&config.disableAGC=true&config.disableHPF=true&config.stereo=true
and this will disable all the audio processing that could harm the meeting. You will probably want headphones though as it will cause a lot of echoes if it can hear anything from the meeting.
Figured I'd leave this here in case anyone else was looking for a similar solution.
EDIT: Lemmy keeps adding "amp;" after each & symbol. Those are incorrect but so far I'm failing to get the thing to stop doing it every time I hit post. Those should be removed for a working link. Try this link to see how it should look.
Do you know if they support disabling things like auto-equalization of audio or changing the bitrate? I use zoom for music lessons because they’re the only one I’ve ever found that will let me do that, which sucks because zoom really isn’t that great of an app
The rdp client (at least in 10/11, I haven’t tried others) tells me I need at least pro instead of home to use it, thus my comment about upgrading windows. Thank you for the extra clarification for those that can use it though!
Freerdp is a client not the server. As far as I know for windows you’d need to use something like no machine or teamviewer for that kind of functionality (or upgrade to pro for the rdp function)
Not sure about a solution for parsec but have you looked at onlyoffice? It’s been a drop in replacement for office for me and seems to do a pretty good job
I keep a Chromebook for stuff around the house. 90+ percent of normal usage these days is the web anyhow. The Linux vm with ssh and remmina installed gets me server maintenance and Remote Desktop to my server without paying more than $200 for the laptop. You can’t beat the value of these things if you don’t need to compile/edit videos or something
The 1030 uses a ridiculously small amount of power at idle for the server. The 3060ti is obviously a smaller card too but it only pulls ~15w at idle while the vm is running from my tests. It’s not the cheapest but 15w is not all that much of the 80 the server is pulling overall
Lag wasn’t terrible when I did it with one speaker, I’ll freely admit I have not tried it as a whole house setup but I’ve seen guides out there from people who have
I use an all in one. Linux host for hypervisor. Windows 11 with virtual tpm and gpu pass through for gaming, and a FreeBSD guest set up with 1 virtual hard disk, one ssd for boot mirror, and 3 2tb platter drives for file serving. At idle it takes about 80 watts (including the router hooked to the ups) per hour. Definitely more than a raspberry pi, but it really only burns 1-2 kWh a day which comes out to .30 a day for us (roughly).
The amount of time it would need to be running before it was cheaper to use a raspberry pi including everything it needs was almost 6 years of 24/7 uptime for our electric rate so to me it makes 0 sense to run this differently and separate. There are also more efficient at idle chips nowadays.
System specs:
Ryzen 7 2800 8-core processor
128GB ram
Gt 1030 video card for host
3060ti for windows vm
2 1 tb nvme drives
2 500GB ssd (one for boot, one for zfs cache FreeBSD)
3 2tb platter drives
Sonos is probably the easiest one as others have mentioned. A bunch of raspberry pi’s with pulseaudio configured for remote streaming from a master audio source could also work for playing the same song in multiple locations if you want a more diy approach
For a lot of people, a shocking amount really the law is the closest to morals or empathy they possess. They also seem to spend a lot of time looking for ways to work around said law too
It works with the valve index and I think the vice pro. I have the cosmos which doesn’t work… point being google your headset there will probably be some detailed advice for it!
I looked at those a few years back but never could figure out how to have an actual phone number instead of just internal sip lines. Where would one get an actual phone # from on those?
The FreeBSD handbook is amazing for this! IMO the best guide out there for an operating system
