Mumble is insanely awesome. It's still my goto app if you don't need video (which is most of the time for me). The only downside (maybe really an upside) is that you need to spend considerable amounts of time and effort setting it up for good audio quality. But the latency just can't be beat.
What are the settings that you twiddle for better audio quality?
I have tried it some time ago and it was pretty good in terms of video quality. Maybe someone knows, I was searching for something that would allow me to have almost local video quality for a chat app. I don't understand why there's anything that let me do it if I'm sitting on a good wifi and the other person also sitting in the same building on a good wifi. I even don't care about latency much, as long as it's withi…
We were using this for a while to do meetings for sr.ht, but we recently switched to - believe it or not - Mumble. It's old and unsexy but damn it's reliable.

At least originally, the reason for assigning copyright (and signing a waiver) was because there were some high profile cases of employers claiming that some contributions were owned by them when employees did work in their spare time. I believe it was RMS who decided that legally it was just safer to ask for copyright assignment. I believe that he later relaxed significantly on the position, but I think it's still c…
it was my understanding that the reason for copyright assignment was that the FSF believed it would be difficult to defend the copyright of a project if it was owned by multiple people. with several high profile cases in the linux kernel i think this belief has been shown to be overcautious and maybe this has led to a relaxation of the position.

Audio quality depends on jitter timing. Too low and you get dropouts, too high and you get uncanny valley with the delays and pauses. You should never have to twiddle these settings since internet routing is so dynamic. But things to look at include jitter sample size (20ms is a good start), codec selection (lower bandwidth), and server resource usage (more cpu or ram). I don’t use mumble but ran an asterix server fo…
