It was pretty great, wasn't it?

Although I must say. I eventually landed on neovim. Steep, steep learning curve, but now I would not switch back again.

I gave it serious consideration when the death of Atom was announced and I was unsure where to move on to.

Looks like in the meantime a lot has been done (as far as I remember, TreeSitter and LSP weren't built in back then...? Not sure though), but the lack of a plugin system is still killing it for me.

TBH it looks like it has 75% of the features you want from a codeditor, which is much more than the use-case for Nano, but no way to go the remaining 25% of the way.

I hate the labelling of Telegram (and also, to be fair here, WhatsApp) as social media platforms.

That's like saying email is a social media platform because mailing lists exist.

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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 😅

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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
