It doesn’t rely on Amazon not fucking up DNS traffic, and I control it because it’s my hardware.
Every Signal video call I have ever been a part of has had shit for both audio and video quality. It’s not a hardware issue because everyone involved has flagship model phones.
Signal has it’s use as an encrypted text message alternative.
OK, cool. So the answer is no then? you didn’t really answer.
At some point you are relying on someone not fucking up something somewhere. At the very least you need your ISP not fucking up your connection speed or something similar.
I’m not saying that xmpp sucks or that they are right on saying that there are not alternatives (although I am inclined to agree). What I’m saying is that your server is not a reference point to compare against, because you operate at immensely different scales and requirements
…seems like things may have stagnated around group calling; for now probably need to consider something more video conferencing specific like jitsi or bigbluebutton.
Bullshit. I can set up an XMMP server that is encrypted and doesn’t rely on AWS.
Does it allow low latency HD encrypted video calls across the globe?
