2020-04-11 Jitsi is gone

Well, I uninstalled Jitsi again. It seemed like a pretty big attack surface and didn’t get any use. I myself didn’t use it!

• DM Peter uses Skype
• my players in one campaign switched to Zoom
• the audio and video in the other campaign that did use Jitsi was terrible

And so...

Zoom acquires Keybase... Ugh.

We are using Mumble server, there are mobile and desktop applications, people can connect even with dirty faces or in pyjamas, as there is no video, and it works great over bad networks. – Jean Louis

I’m starting to think that for our gaming we should focus on voice only and drop video. What’s the point, really...
