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 😅

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

It's definitely the fallback option if DIY doesn't pan out. The no-filtering can definitely also be enabled in the Jitsi config, so at least in that regards I'm not too worried.

Throughout the pandemic I've largely been able to avoid both Teams and Zoom, but Zoom did cause a number of problems on Linux, so I'm not too hyped to give it another try :/

Ouh, that sucks to hear :( I think I'll still at least give it a try (it has been on my bucket list to set up for a while, not specifically for music purposes, just in general).

THanks, that's the second recommendation for Jamulus - I assume it's really that noticeable of a difference? In terms of latency and quality?

Yeah but tbf its completely wild that they didn't make sure to get the traffic ministry. Was foreign affairs really that much more important to the Greens?

Holy strawman

Setting up an email server is really straightforward with simple-nixos-mailserver, highly recommend. No idea how likely you are to be classified as spam though from a new domain

He's Veppers.

Also there's a book by Stephen Baxter set in his Xeelee universe which takes this premise for the cult mentality of a terrorist cell

Sorry this doesn't really add anything, just thought it kinda funny

Im Prinzio erlaubt Nix dir, dein komplettes System (von Networking über User und Pakete, bis zu all deinen dotfiles) in einer einzigen, deklarativen config festzuhalten.

Dein System kann dann mit einem command vollständig von 0 nach betriebsbereit neu gebaut werden.

Kann sehr empfehlen mal aif YouTube danach zu suchen, das Thema ist bisschen zu umfangreich für ein Kommentar 😅

I thought about adding a link, but am a bit hesitant to de-anonymize myself on here 😅

But it's basically this:

• Proxmox is not Nix configured. There's a project for that, but IMO t'll take a couple of years to be ready for production.
• I've created a custom nix module that essentially just sets my default values for stuff like bios type, boot order,... And allows to set CPU cores, RAM, IP,...
• all this does though is just setting the corresponding values from the nixos-generators proxmox output
• additionally, all the usual stuff is handled (user, known ssh keys, base config of the system)
• for each VM, I only have a single file containing the VM settings (ID, RAM, cpu, ip,...) and the service config for whatever the VM is for
• then lastly I have a custom script/shell that essentially just allows to do "nixvm-new " which generates the image, moves it to the nas, and calls on proxmox to import the image, plus some cleanup

TBH this sounds way more complicated than it is / feels to use 😄
